HE WILL NOT GEL THE RECORDERSHIP. TWO MORE BIG APPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE. There wasa colored delegation called on the President Friday of of last week, composed of Ex-min ister Jonn H. Smyth, of North Car- olina, Howard William and Lewis, of Boston, Mass., W. E. Matthews of Baltimore, Md., and Nathan Sprague, son-in-law of Mr. Fred. Douglass. Mr, Smyth claims that the @el- egation did not call on the Presi- deut in the interest of Mr. Doug- lass, but evidently the President did not speak of the Recordership until Mr. Smyth called the atten tion of the President to that office. and urged the appointment of Mr Douglass. The President said to Mr. Smyth that be did not intend to appoint Mr. Douglass to the Recorderghip; that he would like to have had the opinion and advice of Mr. Douglass in regard to cojored appointments, but every time Mr. Douglass called it was iu his own interest :—unlike Messrs. Bruce and Lynch who were looking out for the appointment of men of their own race. The President, said Mr. Smith, spokein the high- est possible terms of Mr. Bruce, as being one the most discreet repre sentative men in thecolored race, and gave the delegation to under stand that two more big places would will be given out; one to Mr. Brace and one to some one else, and the others, will be several but smaller places. The President did not say who would be appointed Recorder of Deeds, but ove fact is certain that Mr. Douglass will not be. eo ALL HaIL CHANDLER. (New Orleans Pelican) Hon. William E. Chandler was nominated Thursday night by the Republican caucus of the New Hamsbire Legislature for United Stvtes Senator to succeed himeelf. The action of the caucus is equiv— alent to an election, as their choice will be formally voted for by all the Republican members of the Legislature, and, they having a majority in both branches, his fin- al seleciion is an assured fact. Mr. Chandler,s trumphaut re— election will give to none more genuivej»y than to the Repub- Ticaus of Louisiana, whose stead- fast friend he hus always shown himself to be; and, in recording bie return to the Senate, the PzL ICaN felicitates the Republicans of New Hampsbire, aud the Nation, upon the retention in that august body of astatesman so well equip- ed in the different ramifications of government as Senator Chaudler bas shown himself to be. The Democrats of the South are receiving hard nein A hittle over seven months ago the at the Presidency and Gon, eae aa now the republicans of New Ham- saire has re-elected Senator Chaudler—the man hated of all Raj ublicans by the Southern bul- dozers and ballot-box stuffers.

Is glad to talk with every scribe he meets, That he may tell them of his manly feats. He advertises only on half price, Demands a thousand copies as a slice.

Republican politicians in this State are still in the soup so deep that nothing but time alone, which 1s the only consideration that they own, can get them out, Tom Brown, Ed. Flow, Caleb Simms, Bill Freeman, and Harry Hill, represents New York City. John Little of Brooklyn, hus just been appointed to a responsi- vle position in the Navy Yard. Bill Johnson of Albany, N Y., and Geo, Smith of the same place look in vain foran cfiice to seck the man. Col. W.{H. L3s'er, of Dryden, N. Y, isin the “soup” with a posi- tive promise of early release. The leaders in Ohio and Ind:- ana are kicking high. The weather here is warm, the suramer exodus of colored help bas begun, and office hunters tired and disgusted are leaving for the watering places. Mias Maude Douge, of Albany, N. Y., who is visiting her uncle Robert F. M. McIntyre, has gone to Coney Island fora week, the guest of Mre. Little, who bas a cottage there. F. C. Lawson, has been elected a member of the Executive Com mittee of the 20th District Tamany Hall Club, he was indorsed !-y the Sagamore Club, of which he is Manager and Steward. The Incorporated branch of the Southern Beneficial Lesgue, won their suit againat the V iliataky Branch, and this matter is now an act of Court, the fundsof the League go with the decision. This isa victory for lawyer Dease and P. Barguet, who made a gallant fight. THEY SAY It is natural for great men to make mistakes, Don’t forget ’tis the serenade to Mr. Chandler. The Recordership is settled. Secretary Wimdom has recom- mended several important colorea appointments to the President. McCabe will be recognized as the northern representative. _ Hon. B. K. Bruce will receive an important appointment. He is not a candidate but he de- serves recognition. Col. James Hill will be seated by the next Congress, No greater fraud has ever been practiced than the one on Col. James ill of Mississippi. B. K. Bruce never deserts a friend nor does be ever fear an enemy. Congressman Cheatham has al- most worked himself sick. Dr. and Mrs. Dorsey have the prettiest and two of the best situa- ted residences on Capitol Hill. ; The gentleman from Georgia in the Pension Offive who contributed so extensively to the campaign fund will get his commission of leave now in a few days. Commissiover Tanner should promote some of the most worthy colored clerks in his office. Col. Dudley didn’t have to be asked. Indiana would doa good act by sending Col. W. W. Dadley to the Senate. Mr. Crenshaw a prominent Re- publican politician of Alab:ma, who was discharged from his place |- by Col. Wm. P. Cannady, should be given a good appointment. Mr. Crenshaw has been a good and brave soldier. Now Ccmmissioner Tanner has a chance to show his grati:ude for his colored soldiers. Disappointments are no surprise to the Ber. The Bre shall continue to sup- port the Republican party, because it is the party of liberty. Dawson the chief clerk ot the Interior Department is tainted with democracy and should be removed. He is willing to give democrats character of repablicanism, but a Negro rep blican has a poor show. Brown the Negro hater of the Interior Department must go. Dawson the chief clerk, to the contrary notwithstanding. Col. Brackett of the Treasury Department is a solid man. He says a little but he means a great deal. A national Negro league is a ne- cessity. The Negroes must organize if they expect to amount to anything Read the Bez and be happy. THE OVATION. A PLAY IN WHICH RICHARD AND RICHMOND WERE BADLY USED UP. THEY PLAY THE THING. A fair sized audience greeted the artists who took part in the dra- matic entertainment given by the Junior Excelsior Club at Metropol- itan church last Wednesday night. The programme was an excelleut one and some of the artists deserve especial mention, notably Messrs. A. J. Hall, ©. S. Morris, J. 8. Douglass, Miss Lulu Hamer and T. T. Symmons. In the quarrel scene betweeu Brutus and Cassius, Mr. Morris as Bratus acquitted himself most creditably. Tue dec- lamatious by Miss Irene Wall were well received. Col. Geo. M. Arnold, as a soloist lacks grace and ease his gestures are awkward and his stage Manuers worse. Miss Mattie Bruce sang with charming effect a beautiful solo entitled “Somabody loves for he tells me so.” In the curse scene from Richard III there was some splendid acting ; Richard did nobly and was ably supported by Messrs. Tucker and Nelson and Misses Saunders and Bruce. The violin solo 1st concerto was skill fully rendered by Mr. Joseph H. Douglass who is an artist of great promise, and received applause. | Miss Lulu Hamer sang “Margue- J. 3. Coolidge, HARNESS ATTACHMENT, Patented NovEMBER 137u, 1888. THE GREATEST LIFE SAVING DEVICE. J.S. Cooriper’s Harness Attachment thing of the kind ever put on the Market. is the best It is so ar- ranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It canbe taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitching and unhitching as a horse can_be at- tached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extri- cated in less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that thestraps can be lengthened or shortened asis required. The Bolt is removable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists in the con- structions of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same maybe attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has heretofore been nec- cessary in order touse devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines being connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unman- ageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the plate 16 aside and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slight- est trouble. used every day. Thousands of the attachments are being rite” sweetly and was repeatedly applauded. In the battle of Bos- worthfield, Richard and Richmond, Messrs. Morris and Symmons made the scene more real by accidental y drawing each others blood. As Mr. Symmons had ouly about four hours in which to prepare himself for his part, he is no way responsi- ble for the accident to Mr, Morris. Mr. Morris received a slight cut on the head and Mr. Symmons’ fore- finger was cut in several places. In the last round Mr. Morris ap- plied a sponge to his forehead, which was filled with some red 1 quid, and which many persons the audience thought was blood. Both gentlemen in the future, will regard more carefully the rules of feucing. sem JAMES H. SMITH. Mr. James H. Smith, an Ex schoul trustee, who is seeking a lit- tle cheap notoriety, as counsel for a few school graduates, has written usa letter in which he calls our attention to the case of a gen Ueman in which he was attor- ney some four or five years ago, and threatens to publish to the world why the editor ot this paper did not expose the scan- dal at that time, if we attempt to criticise his course in the present schovl fight; of which he has po knowledge. We shall save Mr. Smith the trouble, and in our next issue we shall publish his letter to us, which will explain itself, show Mr. Smth upto be a very small man. This learned? attorney further threatens to carry us into Cuurtif we attempt to criticise bis action in this school matter. We want to say for the benefit of Mr. Smith that the trustees he bas criticised are no more guilty of mismavage- ment of our schools than he wien he was on the school Board, because he did nothing but “resolve and resolute” at every Board meeting, which the minutes will show. He informs us that we dow’: under staud anything about his position; when Mr. Smith dvegn,t undei- stand bimself, how cau the public anderstand him? The Bee Is not to be intimidated by apy threats that may emenate from such a source. This letter to us will appear next week which will show why tbat scan- dal was not published at the time the scandal mongers dem ided it. The letter would be reproduced this week, but to enable every body to purchase a copy of the paper containing the letter of Ex-trus- tee James H. Smith, the ifalible ? we thought it best to mwtorm our readers in advance. —____++____—_ A number of gentleman called on President Harrison last Thars~ day, and urged the recoguition of colored men to represent the ,colored voting element of the North. There was au earnest appeal made fur further recogni- tion of Southeru men, and in ad- dition thereto, a number of compe- tent Northern men. Tuey stated to the President positively, that they were not there to urgea policy, which would stir secti val feeling, but,urged that a more auiversal recognition would destroy section- al feeling, aud do justice to all parties.
