CALVIN CHASE, Editor, BRUCE ON RACE ORGANI- ZATION. One of the most instructive, able and exhaustive discussions of political race organizations that has appeared in a long while is to found in the letter of Ex-Senator Bruce to the Washington Post of Sunday last. Mr. Bruce has the nappy faculty of saying the right thing in the right way and at the right time, and tor tis reason his pubiic utterances never fail to at- tract attention and to properly direct the trend of public thought. There was a growing fearaud sus- picion on the part of many as to the purpose of the colored pe: ple in the organization of leagues ior the protection of their rights; and the enemies of the race were quick to charge that the purpose was political; that, abandoning all political principles, the race would hereafter be offered for sale to the highest bidder. Mr. Bruce corrects this errone— ous impression and shows in the most conclusive way that our peo- ple throagh the contemplated or- ganizations propose to protect their persoual and civil rights and do not intend to engage in politics as a race but to act in these mat- ters like other American citizens. Ae he truly expresses it; “they propose to vindicate America rights by American methods” We say, let the orgavization of the leagues go on but eee to it that demogogues are not permitt~ ed to divert it from its original purpose or touse itfor selfish ends. Weowe itto ourselves to 0 conduct this organization as to keep it out of the mire of parti- zan politicians and to so direct its course as tocommend it to good mea everywhere, Should we com- mit ,the unpardonable blunder of organizing ou race lines for polit- cal purposes we would not oaly lose the friends we vow have out fai! 5 gain \goy from _our eae- mies. As he justly says under such circumstances both the Repudli- can and Democratic parties, in a short time, would combine to crush usout We are Ameri- cane and as such we demand the same censideration at the hands of the public as is treely accorded to other American citizens. We do not ask more and us men we will not accept less. We have met the just expectations of mau- kind since our enfranchisemeut. Starting out pennyless, bomeless, and without educational facilities we have gone iuto all the multipli- | ed industries of the republic and have acquitted ourselves with credit; we have under the great~ est difficulties established homes for ourselves and families; we have built school houses, accade- mies and colleges and have sup- ported them; in short, no race un- der similiar environments has made so rapid a progress in so limited a time as the American Negro, and yet we labor under disabilities that attach to no other class of Americans involving the embarrassment of the exer cises of the most sacred right of the citizen. We must appeal to the enlight- ened christian public sentiment of the land to remedy these grave | evils and our appeal will uot be made in vain. —— Se LET JUSTICE BE DONE. The Negroes in this city are not responsible for every crime com- mitted nor are they as guilty as one half of what is done and not found out. The case of officer Riley is & stricking illustration of what one half ot the white meu on the Police force will do. Offi- cer Riley who was found in tbe street under the influence of li- quor and who was injured bya fall, according to the evidence of the doctors, and the attempt of a few prejudiced white officers, as well as Riley himself, before he died, to place the responsibility of his injuries on some Negro ruffi- eu (?) thus, as a certain officer rev marked to us, placing every color- ed orsome colored man against whom an officer may have a drudge, under suspicion. it was not only cowardly, but one of the most diabolical acts ev-~ er was known to be cuerged against an injured and wronged race of people, We admit that we have some bad men among us, but there are exceptions and mavy of them, at that. Coroner Patterson, who ordered an au~ topsy to be performed is entitled to our everlasting gratitude. The cowardly attempt also to throw the responsibility of that officer’s death, not Jong since, on Mr. Robert Brown, a respectable colored citizen, shows plainly what these officers would do if they were given an opportunity. | The friends of the deceased police~ man Crippen, would have had Mr Brown to rush up stairs after the murderer and have him killed and the officer saved, whose duty it was to arrest the murderer. The officer would not have been killed had he taken the advice cf those who were present at the time he rushed up stairs. All that the citizens ask is fair treatment and justice, AHARD WURKED MAN, Hon. H. P. Cheatham arrived in tue city Monday and was be- seighed by a bundred or more of his constituents. He is the hardest worked man from the South, Every man from the Soutn, whether he hails from Mr, Cheat- hams district or not, generally looks to him for aid and comfort. He is certainly the best represen- tative North Carolina has ever sent to Congress white or black. ile never say vo toa needy avd worthy southern republican and what he says can be relied ov. He ison the go from the very moment he arrives in the city. Unlike many ot our white mem- bers from the South, he kuows no man by his color. DRIVERS IN THE DEPART- MENTS. A great deal was said last week by one of our local contemporay’s oa cojored men iu the departments used by the offivials to drive their carriages. We desire to say that white men as well as colored men when they receive an appointment to drive carriages they accept them with the full understanding that they are to drive the car- Fiages, and -to-our persone lensw- ledge, our esteemed Chief Vierk of the Treasury department is one of the officials who never fails to compensate bis driver when he does extra work Mr. C. Morgan, who drives the Chief Clerk of the Treasury department stated to a BEE representative afew days ago that there is notan evening tha! he dos’ent make from one to three dollars extra. A siwalar state- ment was made to us by other men in the departments and from what we have heard it seems that they are perfectly satisfied s» far as the work is concerned, but like any body else a premoiiou would be acceptable if they could obtain it. Hon. Juha R. uyuch 4th Audi- torsuf the Treasury department isto be congratulated on his first annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury. From his report we must admit that Auditor Lynch knows his business and he dosent hesitate to ask tor what he wants in his office. The American Negro will look with great axiety on our next | Congress to see what disposition will be made of the claims of Hon. Jobn M. Langston. If Langston is admitted be will bea match for any of them. ae — Presid: nt Ha: rison bas appoint- jed Mr. George H. Deveaux Col- lector at the Port of Bruuswick, Ga. Another good appointmeut. VIRGINIANS IN TOWN. Hons. James H. Hayes, John Mitchell, Jr., Capt, RA. Paul, J.H. Jenkins, Capt. J. Crump, aud Edward Thompson, of Rich- mond, Va., were in the city this week and called on the President and Gen’l Clarkson urging the appointment of 8. Blair Morris, for the Richmond, Va, Post Of- fice. These gentlemen iuformed the President that Mr. Blair Mor- ris was the colored man’s friend and that they wanted him appoint- ed. These gentlemen are repre- sentative colored men of Virginia and know what the needs of the colored people are in that State. Mr. Hayes, is one of the moat prominent lawyers in Virginia and Mr. Mitchell is the editor of the Planet and one of the leading colored editors in the South. WES?

Furguson our rouch esteemed letter carrier has been promoted frora, Ist to 2nd class cerrier in the city P. Office. cig SOUTH WASHINGTON NEWS. For severa! weeks, the ministers conference. has been discussing] the regular order of chtffehdiscip- iline; the method of admission to memberships and the relation to pastor and deacons of the church. They admitted the practicibility of deaconesses and other officers as the nec+ssity of the churches res quired, and decided that the lack of scriptual qualifications in many of our chu/cues is the main causes of repeated disorders, During these discussions of methods and conclusions, many principles of great questions were settled. Among the ministers of emi- nence who took part in these dis- cussions were, Revs. C, C. Stum, D. D. of Philadelphia; Wm. Gray, D.D, of St Paul, Minn; C. A, Collis, Va; Wm. Troy, of Va;M. Land, of Va; Wm. A. Birch, of Ciun., J. £. Robinson, Mass. Che many ministers nvtional capital in the interest of the race have all returned to their several charges. Mrs. H.C. Robiuson is quite ill at her residence. The coutroversy between the Virginia Avenue Baptist church and the 6:h St, Bapt. church of this city over the exclusion and reception of certain members from the Virginia Avenue, whom the Sixth St., afterward received without any authority of ecclesias- tic methods or usages, tor whose retura the Va. Ave. made a for- mal demand. They were refused by evasion on the part of the 6th street,as all proofs showed, for which the church ealled a council of 35 churches which convened on Thursday the 14th in the lecture room of the Va. Ave. church. The three points submitted by that chureh to the council, were decidedly adopted in justifica.ion her claims: Ist. That the recognition council at the Robinson Halli, Feb. 15th 1876, was valid and itg proc- lamation final, 2ud. Toat one sister church cannot receive au excluded mem- ber from another church, without some established method of eccle- slastic usages. 8rd. That the Virginia Aven- ue church being au orderly, and regularly established sister church it was wrong and impracticable for the Sixth street church to re- ceive the members. Wm. Barnes, Berry Broadus, to the Josephine Hook, Eliza Williams, and Alfred Webb, these names were submitted to the council, The condemnatory resolution was offered by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the 19th! St. Bapt church. THEY SAY The Bruce stock has gone up 100 per cent. What means the sudden change of front. The BEE has always said Bruce was right. Look out for some colored ap- Pointments soon. If President Harrison declines a renomination, John Sherman will be the man. Sherman and Morton would be a strong ticket. Or Sherman and Depew. There is a fight against colored saloon keepers on the Avenue. Out of fourteen four of them are colored. The white people have refused to sign for the colored men. They all keep respectable houses. At any rate the Commissioners will reduce the fourteen to four.’ Prohibition is growing in the city. Whiskey business pays better than any other business in town. If you want a reliable paper read the BEE. If you want alive paper read the BEE. If you want a spicy paper read the Br. Dod’t forget the Thanksgiving day wmilitary reception by the Washington Cadets. Reception from 8 p. m., to 2 a.m. Great music will befurnished on this occasion. Admission only 25 cents. Let everybody attend. © McKinly “for speaker is the watch word. --Let every honest man support McKinly for speaker of the House of Representatives. \ The Afro-American League is booming. Every State will send delegates to the Afro-American League. Let the Negro support the Afro- American League. Success will now crown the Ne- gro. Judge Chandler of theIaterior De- pa:tment is a friend to the Negro. Tuere will be no politics in the Negro League. Branch League of this city will hold a big meeting shortly. Right is bound to prevail. The colored man should not bave any fear as to his future. Onr enemies said that the eman cipation of slaves would never be. God rules the destiny of all races and nations of people. Violeuce is not always the way to gain freedom or iudependence. Justice comes slowly but it is sure to come. Agree with thy adversary quick- ly. It is an easy matter to make promises but it is a hard matter to keep them. itis the honest man who keeps his promises. In distress we will obligate our- selves, but in prosperity we forget our obligations. We often say things that we do not mean. It is better to be honest and do what you say, than to promise and never attempt to do. An open confession is good for the soul, but it generally convicts a thief, All thieves do not confess. It is better to bear the ilis we have than it is to seek relief from those who are known to be our en- enemies, : Never judge a person guilty un~ tilyou have heard both sides of the story. Itis wrong to form a dislike for a@ man because others do. Neyer form a dislike for those you don’t know. Because a person has once been wicked it is no evidence that he has not reformed. A woman who has once fallen from grace is no proot that she cannot reform. Always be careful what you write, because you may have occa- sion ta recall it some time. Never write a letter to a friend that a third party caunot read. If you follow this rule, you will have uo oceasiou to fear what may fall into the hands of your enemies. It is a bad policy to write se- erets even to those in whom you have confidence. Lovers will often expose each other in anger. You mother is your best triend. That will depend very often on what kind ofa mother you have. An honest man is sate to confide in as the Maker of the universe. | Do all you can for those to whom you are obligated. Always speak the truth to your friends and be frank with your en- emies. Watch your friends and trust not your enemies. Think wisely always before you speak. Never tell all you know, because you may hear it again. If you are compelled to talk say that which has no weight or signi- ficance. A talkative man or woman often does harm to him or herself. Parents are responsible to their children. They are borne without their knowledge or consent. It is the weak parent who says continually, you owe me for rearing you. It isa parents duty to rear bis children. The child owes obedience to the parent only. Men often fall out with the other when he cannot be used. Ke wise, honest, just and obedi ent to thy fellow man. ened ‘ MARVELOUS PRICES, BOOKS: MILLION b perro oben and Other Works, by Famous uth ont Given Away.
