DOUGLASS, JR., STAT- Es SOM& SOLID FACTS. To the Editor of the Evening Star. In view of the fact that there are not more than 218,485 negroes of voting age, according to the cen- sus of 1880, in the Northern states, including California, the census of which is giyen at 66,809, which is evidently incorrect, even then it is difficult to tell upon what these two leading colored democrats lum inaries base their elastic conclu- sions when they say that from 240, 000 to 300,000 negroes of the North will vote for Cleveland, and yet there is no “stampede,” but only an “awakening.” No wonder that these would-be leading colored de- mocrats can find but a coporal’s guard among the colored people of the North who are willing to be led back into the wilderness by such blind and inscrupulous guid- es, who care not what statements they make. The following is a ta- ble showing the number of colored people twenty-one years old aud upward in each state named as ap- pears in the-census of 1880, which shows the absurdity of the state- ments made by Trotter and Taylor, iu THE Star of October 6: California, 66,809 ; Colorado, 1,320; Connecticut, 3,532 ; Ilinois, 13.687 ; Indiana, 107,39; Lowa, 3, 205; Kansas, 10,765; Maine}, 664 ; Massachusetts, 5,956 ; Michigatfy6, 130; Minnesota, 1,086; Nebraska, 844; New Hampshire, 235; New Jersey, 10,670; New York, 20,059 ; Ohio, 21,706 ; Oregon, 7.993 ; Penn- sylvania, 23,892; Rhode Island, 1, 886; Wisconsin, 1,550; Nevada, 5 622 ; Vermont, 314. weet FREBERICK DOUGLASS, JR.

And is it thus that men to such low tricks, Do quick resort, when they are brought to buy, Whilst on either side receiving licks Of justice, and they find no other way, To escape the blows? Yes ’tis thus their way ; And thus you see ’twag poor Cardoza’s fie: He laid ; . trap for others, like the e In runing round he fell there in himself. Ah yes he did ; upon Prof. Brown He made his charges that were false and mean; Attempted to criticise him up and down ; Accusing him of actions most obscene. Yes what he said was harsh, but far from keen ; For had he in those hours the present known, He had not made to Brown that hasty answer, Of which you can agree was no good plan sir. Ah well, sometime within our mod- ern school , Presented here before us in this age The man ot wisdom plays the sim- ple fool, Although the fool scarce ever plays the sage: And this you see’s to say when in a rage Both great and small men go be- yond the rule; Thus with Cardoza, wise perchance and grave, S To make his schemes he fell as Folly’s slave. “Trath is the light”, then falsehood is the dark, This is the way that I define the whole. : His aim were well but aiming miss- ed his marke, And the report but showed us his true rule, That we might hurl him from his present stool, And set him alla drift upon his bark, Of that most wretched thing Dark Circumstance, Nor care whether he sails to Spain or France. All that we kuow, he is to leave the school I hope he’ll be succeeded by good Brown, Whom he aftempt’d to represent a fool, In doing so but made himself a clown, And something else, I will not write: ’tis known Too well me thinks ; and heuce it is my rule, Never my best of moments sacrifice By telling the same story to one twice. He’s not gone yet, but of course he’ll have to go, For none but good men can hold such a place. Who wants a man like he, (whose actions low,) ‘’o lead to higier life our strug- gling race! We want a man that reveres TRUTH and GRACE, And not a man like this, good parents KNow ! When he has gone, I’ll sing his parting knell, It’s till thus, “CARDOZA’S SAD- FARE-WELL”. A stag was given at the resi- dence of Mr, W. F. Spillards, 126 Dst.s, w., Thursday evening. A number of his friends were pres- ent and the evening passed off most enjoyably.

ENOUGH OF THE BRITISH G@OVERNMENT—GE DECLARES ALLEG- IANCE TOTHE UNITED STATES Mr. Charles H. Kemp Sturgeon, who lectured at the 5th Baptist charch last Wodnesday evening, subject: “Women; their worth, beauty, charms and loftiness,” is a jouvnalist and politician. He hails from St. Johns Antigua. He claims that be had been wronged by the British govern- ment, where he had been subject- ed to the queen. He holds letters from the Duchess of Albany, who complimented bim on his many literary productions. On the de- parture of Mr. Sturgeon from his native home, he was presented with an address signed by over three bundred citizens, Mr. Stur- geon says that Eugland is no place for a poor man. America is the greatest government on earth, and it is here where be intends to die. At the conclusion of the address cf the people, they say, “we wish you a safe and pleasant passage to America, (the land of liberty,) the place of your destiration, and may you find a warm and hearty reception from the good people of the United Slates.” In his lecture Wednesday even- ing he paid a handsome tribute to woman; it would have been well ifevery male in this city could have been present to listen to a tribute to the noblest people on earth, woman. He portrayed her worth to man, to government and trade. He spoke of her ill- treatment by men. A _ nobler ribuce could not have been paid © the female sex. He was logical and eloquent and it is evident that the American women will give Mr Sturgeon a hearty reception. The colors of the United States were displayed, that Mr. Sturgeon, made and hoisted the day he declared himself in the presidency of Antigua and the in- scription that he also displayed on the 4th of July when he celebrated the 112th Anniversary of the American independence. The following inscription runs thus: Long live the constitution ot im- mortal, fraternial and glorious America, 1776,—1888, this is ona red ground and white letters. He also produced a letter that he had received from their Royal Highi- nesses, the Princess and Princess- es of Whales for a copy of the lec- ture he delivered. TABLE VALK. SUNDAY AFTERNOON AFTER CHURCH. MISS SNIFFBACK AND JANE FID- DLE. Sniff—Jane, how did you hke Miss Brown’s dress? I think it was awfully horrid, Jane—Well, Sniff, Miss Wilson, I thought, looked well. Sheisa plain dresser. There is nothing foolish about her. She is ou ovr order of women. Hoops, waterfalls, &e., Were used in our grandmoth- ers days and I think they certain- ly do become Miss Wilson. Sniff—No, but you see, the reas- on that I don’t dress like Miss Brown, is because my husbands income is too small. Why, she puts her hair up in the latest style, and her dress is made from the finest silk, I thiuk youare a lit- tle jealous. Jane—-No madame, not a bit of it. And [ want you to to distinetly understand that my husband is fully able to purchase drygoods for me. I would not dress like these fops, with bangle curls and flounced skirts, which remind me of a peacock. Good-bye Mrs. Sniffback. Mrs. Sniffoack—I am glad the woman has gone. She worries me almost to death I wish she could find some other place to go. Moral:—Those who have not will speak ill of those who have. N-ver crave for that yu capnot get, and neverabuse others who are able to get, Life is but a dream and it is just what you make it. REV. LAMKINS TO BE MARRIED. Rev. 8. G. Lamkins, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist church, is to be married in a few weeks to Miss Susie Fitchett of Virginia, Miss Fitchett is # young lady ot refined mavners and possesses great musical ability. Aside from her intellectual qualities she is industrious. Rev. Lamkins who is well known to the people of Washington, isa young man with a bright future before him, and it is the hope of the Bzz that this young divine wil! pros- per and live long in the land ot the oppressed. The invitations that will be issued shortly will be very unique and pretty. Miss Fitchett, who hus been visiting friends in this city, left for her home Monday evening, where she will remain until this servant of the omnipo- tence calls for ber. There is a vast amount of truth in that adage which says “alt things come to bim (her) whe waits.” A certain widow East of the capitol “iolded her tent and quietly stole away” to Phila- delphia on a fishing expedition for that one hundred thousand dollars, but beauty is much more entranced when accompanied by a magestic and queenly presence and a lovable disposition—hence the real queen of hearts remained “at home” avd landed that haughty suitor and that one hun- dred thousand dollars at the feet of her triumphial car.
