This gentleman is passing through a sea of defamation just now. From the day be reported the Federal E’ection Bill to this hour he has been the special tar- get of the Southern Democratic press. The grossest misrepresen= tation, the vilest falsehoods have been resorted to to defeat the mea- ure which be has in hand and to destroy bis influence in this coun- try. The Northern Democrats now as in the days of slavery are only too eager to do nefarious work prescribed to them by their Southern masters. The brazen falsehoods manufactured bere and sent broad-cast over the a country will not injure him with the people. New England is proud of her gifted son, one of the pur- est, beat and ablest men ever was n the public service, and she will stand by bim at a!l hazards. q He has now as be has always bad the confidence of the colored peo- ple both North and South. When othershave shown weakness, he has exhipited the greatest stregnth when others have apostatised he has shown his faith by his works. He was the first to welcome color- ed members to seats in the House of Representatives; the first to cali a colored Senator to preside over the Senate and the first to call a colored delegate to preside over the deliberation of a Rerub- lican National Convention The first to defend a colored member of both branches of Con- gress against the taunts and geers of Democratic Senators io a re- joiner which bas become memor- ‘table that “the colored gentlemen who bave beld seats in the House and Senate have been the equals iv ability, character and integrity of aby representative that the south bas ever bad.” Iu the fight which he is making ir free and fair elections at the South as at the North, the color- ed people of this country are with NOT CLANISH. Inthousands of cases the ties of con- sanguinity between blick and white are closer than that existing between black § and black There nothjag in commou : between natures of two Afro-American save that which circumstances lorced up- on them .—Plaindcaler. The popular impression among the whites is that the colored peo- ple are clavish to almost danger- ous degree; that like the Scottish clans of old, an injury to one is an injury to be resented by all, in sbort that the ‘Afro-American shiboleth is; ‘“Kach for each, avd all for all.” This is an error whici we have again and aguin had occasion to emphasize in these coiumus, and we regret that it is an error. We believe that the indignities heaped upon them as a race is due toa measurable ex- tent at least to the fact that they are devoid of clamshness, each is too deeply absorbed in his own in dividuality. A aRthaaationg ch nt. ape THAERESS. coma Ee: COMMISSIONER HINES. No one regrets the retirement of Hon. L. G. Hines, from the Board of Commissioners than the people of this community and the eduior of this paper. We regret that there should have been an oc- casion for any misunderstanding vetween Commissiouers Hines and Roberts to have forced the formers’ retirement as one of the Executive officers of the District government. No persuasion will make Mr. Hines remain and it is likely that the President will name a man for his place on his| return to the city trom Cape May | or within 30 days- anyway. We respectfully suggest to the Presi- dent the appointment of a map who has given entire satisfaction, as an officer of this government} and one in whom the people have| confidence —Hon. John W. Ross. Mr. Ross is a fine gentleman of | great executive ability who would | give aatisfaction to the masses if| appointed. We would thea name tor the city Postmaster to succeed | Mr, Ross. Hon. A. M.

(Continued from ist’ Page.) and the common gro as there is between the culter ed class of white and the illitere or unrefined class. people like the poor Negro will not be convinced of that fact. as diamondsis superior is the cultured Negro superior to the illiterate, if not in a physical sense, he is in an educated sense, and so is this cultivated class equal toa great degree to the retived and cultivated white man. The white people. think that they know the Negro. They were nev- er more mistaken. Why should so much prejudice exist? It is as Ihave said, the commen or the inferior white man will not ackuow- ledge bis inferiority to the educat- ed Negro and presuming that he is the equal of the cultivated white man who knows no prejudice, and will not recognize bim as his equal, this common class arrogate to themselves their superiority over the Negro. The more commona white man is, the more prejudiced | he is. Why wy friends, the de partment laborer puts ou more airs than the department messenger, the messenger out dresses the of his division as being inferior to more power thau the secretary and the secretary says that he is boss and the President bas no rights that he 1s bound to respect, nor will be submit thenation, Presidents some times forget by whom they are elected and defy the people, but the peo- ple say, your days are numbered and when the people s step down and out, Judgement is at hand. So you can see the lower a man is the biggerhe seems in his own estimation. Whenever a man attempts to rise above his people, or whenever a man disregards the wishes of his party he will find himself in the position of the illus- | trious Damon when the tyrant Dionissus hurled him from the topmost rounds of bis popularity or he will find himself weighed in the balances and found wanting. may be powerful in thes” own esti- mation. bet When the verdict of a people cast against you, you might as well retire to the shades of the Klysian fields and listen to the song of the syrine. THE NEGRO IS HIS OWN ENEMY. From time immemorial the rep- resentatives of the Negro and} many others who claim and have | expressed their friendly feeling for bim, have spoken from the rostrum, the pulpit, the stump and a thou- sand other places, that there is a Negro problem. My friends there is no more a Negro problem, than there is an Anglo-Saxon preblem. The politician wants a little cheap notoriety, the aasi” — philan thropist is too lazy to work and by going from city to city, state to state as an itiverent lecturer, I may say,on Negro ology, his tri- als and tribulations. Tb ap peals are not made for the sympa- thy that they claim to have for the Negro, but to make themselves nationally notorious to the Ne- groe’s detrimeut. The colored man is inimical to bimself toa great extent; the advice from his true friends he pays no attention } to; be is too quick to believe the advice of those whom he knows to be inimical to his interests ; co-op- eration awong the colored peo~ ple is the secret to their succe while it is true that the north has | manifested great friendsbip for the Negro it has been slow to open the avenues of industry and when | we are asked in the South what} the Negroes are doing in the north or what is the occupations of the greater portion of the colored pop- ulation, wecan only give the la- mental answer that they are wait- ers and barbers. Perhaps you doubt this; a personal investiga- | tion will convince the doubtful} mind that, what Isay is true. Uf we look to the South we find me-| chanies in all the branches of & industry, the bricklayer, the black- | smith, the wheel-right, engineer, watchmaker, the tarmer, tie edi-| tor, the scholar, the statesman, the | legislator, the doctor, and many | dozen more different trades and | professions followed by the Negro. | What a contrast is this to our} brother in black at the north. It} is true that political chivalry | reigns supreme in the south, the} midnight assassin distarbs the] domestics transquility of the house hold, the schoo! house, and the tis- sue ballot and fraudulent counts are the monuments of fairness; for all that the southern Negro has more manhood and manly courage, under this reign of terror, than the |} colored man at the north. Throw around the colored man at the south the same mantel of protec~ tion that the colored man at the north receives and if there will net be a political revolution to tbe best interest of the country, 1 am mis- taken.
