The daily papers of Tuesday last brought to us the too fumitiar announcement that another polit- cal murder had been committed in the South. John Bird, a color- ed man who had been to Juckson- ville in response to a summons from the United Stats District court, to testity in the contested Congressional election cxse of Goodnch against Builock, (20a District,) while returning to fils home in Madison county, Florida, was brutally murdered. A tew days prior to this, a colored mau named Webster, was accused of throwing a stone into a crowd of white men trom whose blows he had probably escaped on the out going train and stricking a by~ stauder. For this unpardonable offense, Webster, who was a train hand, wes awaited at Waycross, Gu., where the fracas took place the day previous, teken from the train ov its down trip and lyuch- ed. When Jobn Bird was giving the testimony for which he had to suffer death, Mr. Goodrich the white cont.stant member of Con- grees from the second district of Florida, was making « plea for the sppointment of a colored manu from Florida to a comparatively humbie position, in one of the departments. Seeing that colored men are freely losing their lives in bis interest, we think Mr. Goodrich should and will earnest - estly use his influence to have worthy colored men appointed to positions and he should with equal earnestness, use his intiu- ence to have the murderers of in~ nocent, defenseless colored men punished. We now fell sure that Mr. Goodrich will get bis set, for violence and bloodsbed are the last arguments of defeated cowaidy, The white chivalry of Madison county, Fiorda, may continue to murder colored repub lican witnesses, they cannot stay thereby the honest verdict of the impartial mejority in the next isouse ot Kepresentatives, which, as we believe, will be. F. S. Goou- rich has been duly elected to the Slet Congress, notwithstanding the traudulent certificates now held by Bullock, Democrat. THE EXECUTIVE POWER. It has been made clear to the colored people of the country, that the chiet magistrate of the nation has no power to execute the laws upon the sta ue books A careful reading of the Constitu- tion of the United States will show that the power of the Presi dent is limited; that Congress alove has power to make laws for the protection of citizens and to direct the President to have t! em administered. That the Stats rigbie doctrine, which it indiject~ ly or it not directly recognizes, makes the Prisident powerless to act in case of a riot or u rebellion in any of the States whose consti tution do not conflict with the constitution of the United States That the Governor and legislat- ures of the several States of the union, constituting the Executive und luw making powers of ihose States and n@t the I’resident and ibe Congrese of the United States who have jurisdiction only over the federal jaws can, it thxy will, remedy existing evils in the sys- teme in the various locul self gov- ernmenvts. Mr. Bruce’s able expose of « popular error into whict erratic and misguided politicians and «g- itators have fallen, will if caretul- ly examined and considered by tbe mussxs of our; eople greatly benefit them and relizve the Pres- ident of much embarrassment aud avnoyance from visiting delega~ tions who wish to declare war on the South. Let us rather appeal to Congress to enact wholesome and stringent laws whereby we can exercise all our rights as citi- zens aud then we will be in posi- tion to change the anatovomy of those state governments where our liberties and privileges ure abridged. Let us begin at the root ot the tree. Let ail our peo- ple unite in a general petition to the national legislature for the opportunity to exercise without fear or intimidation our rights a8 citizens. Let us be in earnest abcut this thing ———— BAD GOVERNMENT IN HAWAII. On the first page we publish a graphic letter from the Hawai- jan patriet F. J. Testa to our friend Celso_Czesar Moreno, about the Missionary Rule impored by brutal force and treason ou the 30th day of June 1887, upon the primitive, goo! natured, but too patient and too timid Hawaiian people. This rule of missionar es, is the n- gation of God and of all the rights of men of reason and de cency If Torquemata the ferocious chief of tue inquisition in Spaie ghcould come out of his gave, he ! would certainly acknowledge that the Methodist, Baptist, Mormons and other of missionaries with their ace mplices, have by far surpassed him in religions in- tolerance, dep-dation, intrigues, greediness, treason and ferocity The Government of [lawati un der the absolute coutrol of the un- scrupulous wi-sioneries, 1s the sam of all iniquities, it is in fact a mc- ral economical and political pesti- lence, which 18 more detrimental tothe Hawatian Race aud Country than the terrible physical leprosy. This is the truth that has al- ways beeu concealed to the State and Navy Depar ments of the United States, and by logical con- sequence to the Presiden: by the Diplomatic Consular and Naval Officers sent on duty to Hawati Couspicuous in this not highly hon: rable work have been the U. S. Ministers resideat, litle Jim Comly and Merrill, aided by the two missionaries tie Rev. UL. A. P. Carter, Hawaiian Minister in Washington and the barber, Ne- vil Armstrong, Hawaiian Consul m New York. Tbe Missionaries have pinnder- ed enough in the Hawaiian Is- lands to be able to pay well for their abject underlyings Yhe irresolute King Kalakaua is badly represented in tie United States; the Rev H. A P Carter, with his creole wite is the laugh- iug stock in Wasington, and the barber, Armsiresg 1s a pablic rid- ieule in New York. It would bs a burning shame for the United States Government if such a** bad Government in Hawaii” should any longer be up- beld by the pvlitical, moral und naVa!l influence of the great Am. r- ian Republic for the exelusive benefit of a clique of resegade miss:.paries and their ace mplices. Let us sincerely hope that Pres ideut Harrison and Secretary ot S:ate Blaine will see through it and putan end to it * Pro bono pulbico. sects A VEXED QUESTION. There never was » question fraught with 30 much interest and importance to the well being ond prosperity of this Republic, and its institutions, as that question improperly styled the Negro Question. It is attracting tie at rention of the whole conutry, and ite settlement will r quire.the un vited wisdon: and statesmanship of men of all races, and all par ties. Tbe Amercan people are now reaping the whirlwind which is following cl se upon the heels of human slavery, and its concom itant evils. The Negro, who, by his labor, industry and patient toil has laid the foundation upon which Americans bave reared the grandest government on earth. lie cannot now be cast down, or eliminated trom tie body politic His blood and his bones are at the buse of the superstructure, and his destiny is the white man’s des tiny in this country. He bas a good case in equity aud the Eternal Judge, who sits ia that Court, wil! deal justly and tairly with him, his heirs and as- signs forever. A strong and powcrta!l Govern- me:t likes that of the United States, would biing down upon it the condemnation of tbe civilized wird, if it should attempt by Negro of his tuthtul beritage, or take any unfair or cowardly ad- vantage olus at this time. The narrowness of the white men who oppress, and defrand the negro is tue principal cause of the deplora-~ ble condition in which the South finds itself to day. Had they re- membered ‘hat “Righteousness exalteth a Nation and that Sin is areproach to any people,” the Solid South would have had no existance, peace and prosperity Legislative Juggiery 10 rob the} would now bless that section of our ountry, the union of States would be more cordial and lasting and every man upon the conti: nent would be a man in deed and in fact. TO BE TRIED BY THEIR ENEMIES. What a strong arm has the great and powerfal government ot the United States! Its arm is not only muscular and sinewy but it is long and far reaching. The power of the government is great, an} to be a citizen under it, if the ci izen be white, is to enj-y the blessing that a pow-rful and migity nation can lavisnly be- stow. The essential requisite, however, to a participation 1n the biessing anJ benefits of this gov- is that the citizen be white. A- gains: its black citiz-n the power- tol arm of the nation is ready and willing to strike stunning blows; and fur this purpose law and rea~ sou are stained, magnified and demivished to” strengthen the hands of tyranny agaiust the olack man, Lijustice and tyranny muy be showned upon the black man without a step teksu for his protection by tue government, Suould he rise up in his own de- fense and attempt to strike dowa tyranny impresed upon him by white citizens, the strong arm of the United States go-ernment is at once uplited to strike him down. The strong arm of the party wielded by the party of great professions of love of pro- gress aud freedom reaches out to adjacent islands and strikes down its colored pesple fur daring to as sert their mavhood agaiust the tyranny of white men who are citizens of the United States. Not content wih interfering with the blacks who assert their manhood rightson the islands, this great nation seize irons and brings to the eity of Balt., the hot bed of Negr® hate, for trial, men whore race and color ig in the monumen- tel city, always a presumption of guile that cannot be overcome by reason or evidence The coiored people on the Na- vassa Islands were subject to out- reges and to a tyranny from which they could find uo retet. fhe strong arm of the govero- ment of the Unived States availed not for them, In their d spar ‘hey struck for hberty them-elves Toe administration that suould impartially inquire into the ma — ter and learn whether or uot the colored meu at Navassa were ‘ing in self-deteuse, seizes the unfortunate Negroes and brings them to acity where unjustice to them is assured from the outset. The white men who jll-rreau the Negroes are free aud under the protection of the nation We nave the right to exp ct of the Repu- blican administration a closer obs servance of the righis of iis citi- zens black or white than i3 shown in the shameful treatment of the alieg. d criminals of Navassa.
