General Cyras Bussey, who has yppointed by the President to jstant Secretary of the In r, was born in Hubbard Tram- 1| County, Ohio, where his fath- ey was a Methedist minister. Young Bussey began his business Dupant, Indiana, where ted on his own account at sof sixteen. In 1858 e was elected to the Indiana Leg- s as a Democrat and in the uo was a delegate to the on beld in Baltimore, minated Stephen A. Doug President. He served with which p great distinction during the war. Atthe outbreak of hostilities he was appointed to the command of ibe militia in the southwestern part of lowa with therank of Lieutenant- Colonel. He gained promotion by hard seivice, was mentioned sever- al times in dispatches tor special gallantry, was made a Brevet Maj or-General of volunteers in 1865, and was mustered out later in the same year, He then resumed bus. ness a8 @& commission merchant first in St. Louis and aiterwards in New Orleans.

E. church is a grand success 80 far. There was never such active movements for the Emancipation as now. The revival at the Zion Bapt. church is still in progress with some 80 conversions. The committee of 45 of arrange- ments of the 4h Division for the Emancipation with Mrs. Eliza V. Green as chairman, is soliciting the widest possible patronage. The pulpit of the Mt. Zion Bapt. church, East Washington, will soon be vacant by reason of the appoint- ment of the Rev. J. I. Loving as a missionary. The pulpit of the Third Bapt. church, Alexandria, Va., is still vacant. There is another report that the Rev. J. I. Loving will not resign his charge tor any cause. We received at this office a dis- patea from Pittsburg which bore the sad intelligence that Mr. Stev- en R. Lee, of this city, had heen murdered at 251 2nd ave. on Sat- urday night the 23d. His remains were brought home on Tuesday morning and were rested in the parlor of Miss Elnora Lee, 77 K st., who is bis sister, from which place he was buried on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. Until of late years Mr. Lee was a resident of this city where he was born. A large and sympa- thetic gathering aud liberal con- tributers attended the funeral which was conducted by the Rev. Dz, Phillips ot the Israel Bethel cuuich,. Mr. W. H. Thomas, in the death of his baby, has the sympathy of the entire community. Benjamin Jackson, one of our adopted citizeus is now in jail to prevent bis runving away before he collects his thoughts sufficient- ly to tell where the horse and wag- on was carrying him when they were overhauled across the chain bridge. The question at the conterence was rai-ed against the publication which appeared in the Washington “Prese,” and which reported the Baptist ministers as indorsers of Douglass, Cook and Clapp, was de- nounced as follows: Whereas there appeared in the Washington “Press” on its issue of Saturday the 23d, a publication purporting to be a special action of the Baptist ministers of this Dis- trict indoreing the honorable gen- tlemen, Frederick Douglass, as Recorder of Deeds, John F. Cook, as Collector of Taxes, and A. M. Clapp, as Commissioner, whieh was a wisrepresentation of us as regards our intention or action; and Whereas, with but two excep- tions, all regular Baptist ministers of the District belopg to the con- ference and do respectfully protest against the truthfulness of any such meetings, geveral or special, therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Rev. Dr. Laws, secretary of this conference, is hereby authorized to make a pub- lic denial in as strong a language as possible to be respectful. Rev. 8. G. Lamuing offerred an amendment that?we have not in- dorsed any manu for any office. The Kev. Dr. Lee objected to the amendment on the ground that W. Calvin Chase had been iudorsed by all ef the Baptist ministers with but a few exceptions, and they did not object to Chase, because they had agreed that he was the right man. President Robinson said, “I indorsed W.Calvio Chase but not as a conferenee. I did itasa pas- tor of a people.” “So did we all,” said Dr. Lee. Mr. Howard said, “Mr. Chase has a Baptist following to his sup- port comprising two-thirds of the colored people of the city and Dis- trict.” Rev. Alexander said, “I love Chase and believe that leis a good man aud is capable for the place.” A.S. Thomas said, ‘‘Give us Coase; we have indorsed him, now let us support him.” S$. G. Lamkins said, «I have in- dorsed Cuase and Lam sapporting him. Like our president, I did it a8 a pastor of my peop'e and not as a mere individual member of the conference. Prof. Daniel Morris, of Va., said, “I favor the resolutions without the amendment. Let them be cutting but respectfal.” “The Rev. Dr. Phillips said, “let us agree that we have indorsed Chase, as representatives of the Baptist denomination of the Dis- trict.” ; The amendment was lost. R. S. Laws, who offered the resolutions, said that the Baptists are not so de- nominational after all; all they want is a good,fstrong, and sober friend of the race interests; young able, and plucky, and that man is W, Calvin Chase, and I shall stand by him both behind and before the President, unless he is defeated by tricks, The Mt.

Fulton, of Brooklyn, talked for over an hour last night to a congregation of colored people in the 1st Baptist church, Caroline and McElderry sts. He advised them to educate their children and make any sacrifices to do it so that they might beable to occupy any white person could. Among the thiugs he said were the following: ‘-I thank God Grover Cleveland is going out of office next week. He has given more Roman Catho- lies positions than any other presi- dent, and has a Roman Catholic Secretary of the Interior, and there is one at the head of all large In- dian schools in the land. You have no more chance to work for God and the government hero iff this city than if you never lifted a band for the government. You’ve got to do something to resist romanism while you have a chance. Your enemies want you kept in ignorance and poverty, but the time has come for you to say it shall not be done. A republican president is coming into power, and he has got to do what God puts into your hands to tell him to do. “Romanism is the dominant power in America because its a live devil. All the parties, even the temperance people, are afraid to talk against it. It has come to pass that 57 millions of people in Amer- ica are subject to 7 millions of Roman Catholics. We are on the Roman Catholics say if they can get the colored: people in the south they don’t care what sort of whip holds them down in- poverty and ignorance. You've got to educate your children to work and learn all kinds of business and assert your manhood everywhere. Riso up and shG@ your strength and the Repub- lica\ Party ander this administra- tion Will stretch out its hand to help you all over the land. —_— =. JOHN SHERMAN LEAGUE. AN EQUITABLE POLICY WANTED IN TBE DISTRIBUTION OF OFFICES, The John Sherman Republican League met at the office of the Br last Monday night with W. Calvin Chase in the chair, and R. F. Wil- liams'secretary. Hons. Johu Sher- man, B. K. Bruce, J. M. Langston and Rev. W.B. Derrick were elect- ed honorary members. Mr. Arthur St. A, Smith offered the folowing, which was adopted : Whereas the colored voter has been unswerving in his fidelity to; the Republican party, and his vote, which,constitutes the balance of power between the two great politi- cal parties in this country, has been in variably cast for the Republi- cans ; and Whereas itis but natural that this element of the party should claim, expect ; and receive a share of federal patronage commensurate with its voting value and its loyal- ty to the Republican party ; and Whereas the very same set of old politicians, chronic office seek- ers, bloated officeholders, and _pre- tended leaders of the colored peo- ple (some of whom grew rich and many ethers renounced their broth- ern, neglected and misrepresented them) are here in Washington en- gaged in applying for office and try- ing to répeat their formeraction by Securing ® monopoly of all the po- sitions to be g.ven the colored peo- ple; and Whereas there are colored young men who are educated, honest, and capable of holding office who have taken a more active part for the Republicans in the last campaign than the aucieut colored office seek- ers and old time offivebolders; therefore be it Resolved, That we pray the new Republican udministration to pur- sue an equitable policy in the dis— tribution of federal patronage not only tothe colored pe»ple, but among them. Resolved further, That we be- lieve the material interests of the colored race can be better subserved by appointing a num- eve ot a mighty change in this country. Boston, for many years, was in the hands of of Catholics— from the mayor down to the woman who washed the city hall steps— but she bas been redeemed “Five churches in Washington invited me to preach but said I must not touch catholicism. So they said here. I stayed in Wash- ington three weeks in a hired hall last summer and I never saw such meetings. Cardinal Gibbons, the mouth piece of the Jesuits here, has claimed that religious liberty was founded in Maryland by Car-! roll, and that this state is its home.: They have put 8 millions in that Jesuit college at Washington, and the whole country is bowing tothe Catholic faith. There is no coun- try where it is as free as here. Cleveland rode all night to be pres- ent when the corner-stone of that college was laid, and the grandest preparations for a show were made but God sent a deluge of rain and spoiled it all. There are in the departments at Washington 15,000 clerks Who are called upon twice a month by the nuns for contribu- tions for the church, and if they don’t contribute they’d be turned out of the church. “Over one million dollars has gone out to that church from Wash- ington and not a cent to any other church. Every bospital there ex- cept one is controlled by them. I want the colored people to rise up and see what they can do to resist this power. Whatthey do will go over the land like an echo. The meeting at Asheville, N. C., which Cardinal Gibbons and other dig- nitaries of the chirch and govern- ors attended, was meant to pour Catholic emigrants into the south. They have raised 10 million dollars to doit. They are organizing now to put the colored povple into Reme’s power. The color line in that line means poverty tor the peo- ple and revelry for the priests. The clare that one set of colored men should not be continuous office- there,” said an enraged father to a son who had given him just cause of offensive ; “were it not that these gentlemen are present I would give youa sound whipping, but you shall have it before breakfast to- morrow, certain.” The little rebel went to his crib with a heart, and the enjoyments of the party continued until a late hour Just when the party was about to break up the closet door was quiet- ly pulled back and the young of- tender put out his head, requesting that the sentence might be put in execution. “Father, would ye jast | gie me my liks this night, canna sleep without them.—Lon-| ber of colored people to small po- sitions than Ly appointing a few colored aristocrats to high offices. Resolved further, That we re- gard the gift of high office to a distinguished negro a mere mat— ter of prestige and of no particu- lar good to the race, as it tends tc to create negro aristocracy: Resolved further, That ,we be- lieve we express the . sutiments of the colored people when we e- holders any more than one se: of white men.
