Consul to Liver- ool, Lugland, is to be congratala- ted upon having secured go valua- ble a prize, this consulate being certainly one of the most important in the whole consular service. Liv- erpool is one of the greatest sea- faring ports of tae old world and all men in the mercbant marine ser- vice have therefore a specially ively interest in this part. Mr. Sherman’s salary hitherto bas been 1800 a year, that of the Consul to Liverpool is 6000 dollars, with fees waking in all probably more than twenty thousand dollars yearly. Nr. Sherman was jborn in Bucks- ort, Me. in 1842 and was educated at the common schools and at the Maine Conference Seminary. In 1862 we find him in Washington as a telegraph operator, in 1869 he became private Secretary to Mr. laine on his election to Speaker of the House of Representatives, con. tinuing as sach when Mr. Blaine became Senator and afterwards Secretary of State. Secretary Fre- inghuysen appointed him head of a division in the Consular Bu- reat in the State Department. Upon Mr. Blaine entering Harri- son's Cabinet Mr, Sherman was in appointed his private Secre- tary. Mr. Sherman is a man of superior capacity and his long service in the Consular Bureau has made him familiar with the duties position to which be has been appointed. So NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR- SHIP. of the WHAT REPRESENTATIVE COLORED MEN SAID, WHAT THEY THINK OF THEIR FRIEND. ron the Concord N, H. Daily Monitor, Wednesday, June 12th.) The approaching senatorial elec- tion in New Hampshire on the 18th IW8t. is looked forward to with much interest by leading colored Republicans throughout the coun- uy. We give below the views of a humber of prominent leaders who favor the re election of Hon. W. E. Chandler ; Ex Re “From ter B. K. Bruce, Miss.:— ) ‘time Mr. Chandler en- tered the Senate his veice was al- Ways raised in defence of the op- Pressed Southern Republicans, white and black.

They have not forgotten his bill to give us fair and honest election in the South. The Bourbons fear him as they fear no other man. His knowledge of our condition at the South is comprehensive and thor- ough, and few men in public life understand it as he does. None have exhibited more courage than he has in calling the attention of the American people to the out- rageous practices of the Democratic party South. I believe he will be re-elected. New Hampshire owes it to herself and to the nation to send her strongest and best men to represent ber in Congress. With- out disparaging the claims of other gentlemen, I think I may safely say that Mr. Chandler is one of the most popular and best informed men New Hampshire ever sent to Washington.” Ex-Congressman Robert S.nalls, S. C.:—“‘New Hampshire cannot do better than to re-elect Hon. William E. Chandler to the Senate. He has rendered the country great service and his election will be an encouragement to the colored peo~ ple of the South. To the Demo- cratic party it will mean a free bellot and a fair couot. All we ask for is afair sbow. If Mr. Chandler is re-elected, as he will be, we will get it. Isincerely hope that New Hampshire will be as trae to him as he has been to her. In the dark days of Rebellion she sent her gal- lant sons into the South to uphold and defend the constitution and give the negro freedom. I speak from personal knowledge when I say that the 3d, 4th, and 7th New Hampshire regiments were among the most gallant troops that were stationed at Beaufort, S.C. LIbave been with them more than once on trying occasions and they never faltered where duty called. Ido not think the Republicans of the Granite state will abandon Mr. Chandler.” Col. M. M. Holland, Ohio:— “There is not a colored Republican who will oppose the election of Mr. Chandler, except for personal rea- sons, and he would be very silly indeed to oppose such an outspok- en and vigorous Reppblican leader as he is known to be. I certainly favor his return to the Senate and believe that he will be re elected by au overwhelming majority. He is a man whom Southeru ballot- box-stuffers do not like, and for that very reason he will be elected.” W. Calvin Chase, Esq., editor Washington ‘‘Bee”:—*I have a personal acquaintance with Sena- tor Chandler, and it gives me very great pleasure to say what I think of him. He is, in my opinion, one of the very ablest and truest Re publicans we have. He is true to his party and to his friends. No man stands higher in the estimation of leading colored Republicans than Mr. Chandler. When Mr. Sumner was in the Sen- ate the outraged and persecuted black men of the South found in him a sympathetic friend and ad- viser. To-day we naturally turn to Mr. Chandler for sympathy and advice. From private information which I received to-day I am glad to be able to say that the indica- tions point to his triumphant re- election. He deserves it and his friends in New Hampshire will see to it that he is returned.” Bruce Grit. ————q6 oe THE DELAWARE SENATOR. HE SPEAKS TO THE NORFOLK CLUB. Hon. Anthony Higgins, of Del- aware, was the chief guest of the Norfolk Club at Young Hotel, Bos- ton, last week, and among other things the senator said: The Senator Higgins spoke as t. the Southern question. The sonof a slave-holder, he had come from a Southern state to address the meeting, and he outlined what was being d: ne and what changes were taking place iv what he termed “ibe border states” of the South, por- tions of the country where ‘the blacks are uot in excess of one fifth or one sixth of the population.” He spoke of election frauds which had been perpetrated by Democrats 10 the state which has been elected torepresent in part. Since 1870 there has not been a fair vote in the state, be said be told how Democraties collectors had returu- ed all the blacks as being dead, or having left the state (laughter) the year after the blacks had been granted a vote. He told, too, of an act which would be brought in re- view before the Court of Errors and Appeals this week, and which ‘call persons not being Demo- crats” who failed to pay their tax- es 12 or 28 months before an elec- tion, as the case might be, were disfranchised. In New Castle county, @ year ago, 4,000 Republi- cans had been off the list, and, conscious of the result that would follow their qualification, the Dem ocratic assessors had refu:ed to as- sess them, and but 400 or 500 were qualified. Of one case to which he referred, he said. A week ago today a municipal election was held in the city of Wilimington for city officers. An act of registration requiring regis- tration of voters for the purpose of a city election had been enacted by the preceding Legislature, All the men who had been kept off the lists, as I have explained, a year ago had now gone on by reason of the fact that the quadrenial gen- eral assessment came inte efiect this year, when the delinquent lists are disregarded and every body is put on. The statue requir- ed that the duplicates of the assessment lists, with the warrant of authority to collect the taxes, should be placed in the hands of the collectors on the first day of April. The registration for the city election occured upon the sec- ond and third Saturdays of May, and the election upon the first Sat- urday of June. If these lists or duplicates had been placed in the hands of the collectors upon the first of April, or even the first of May, the whole 4,000 citizens could have qualified to vote for city officers, but the clerk of the peace, who sends the duplicates, retained them until a week before the election. Then the members of the Levy Court, who had to coun- tersign them, kept away until two or three days before the election. Then the collectors themselves refrained from getting them until the day preceding the last day of the registration, and although their time was filled from start to finish from the moment they got their duplicates during the official hours but 400 Repulicans qualified and 3,600 were disfranchised. That happened a week ago, but in spite of it we carried the city by majorities ranging from 25 to 200. [Great ap- plause] I don’t suppose that any statesman from whateyer section, would undertake to say that all this was done to save our civiliza- tion. [Laughter.] IT WILL BE DONE. fArk, Dispatch]. Hon. H. P. Cheatham, of North Carolina, being intervied by 4 BEE reporter at his residence in that city very recently seems to be much pleased with Harrison’s ad- ministration, and thinks that he will recommend a National election law to the 51st Congress at its sitting ; such a law would serve to eradicate the much boasted of nu- merical strength of the Democracy of the South. PERSONALS. Mr. S. D. Mills, principal of the Jacksonville school, Danville, Va., ; passed through the city for Long Island, New York, Tuesday, where he will remain all the summer Mr. Mills is one of the rising Young men of the South. He speaks in complimentary terms of Rev. Gra- ham, pastor of Loyal St. Baptist Church. He said that Rev. Graham is doing good work in the South, and is highly thought of and re- spected by the people of that sec- tion of the country. Mr. Mills has succeeded in or- ganizing an influential Youug Mens Christian Association, and he is also establishing a fine bus- iness for the advancement of the colored people. The funeral of Mrs. Catherine Glascoe, beloved wife of Travis Glascoe, Esq., took place from St. John P. E. Church, 16:h and H Sts. on Monday evening last, at half past 2o’clock. Rt. Rev. Dr. Leon- ard, Bishop~elect, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Dr. Burr well, Rector of St. Mary’s P. E. Churen. The remains weie inte~ red at Graceland, and were follow- ed to their last resting place by a large concourse of frieuds and ac~ quaintances. Deceased was an es- tmable christian lady and lived an examplary and upright life. She leaves an only child, the pride of her lite, Miss Celestine Glascoe, and her faithful and devoted hus- band to mourn ‘he loss they have sustained in her death. A SAMPLE—WHAT IS IT? W. C.
