2 ee The Published every Saturday at 1109 I etree north west, Washington, D. C. ntered at the Post Office at Washington «., a8 Second Class mail matter. W. CALVIN CHASE, Editor, a TT A COMPROMISE. By an agreement among the party leaders of the Senate the Election Bill is to go over to the} next session of Congress, and be then called uy ness. This isa grave mistake and time will prove that it 18 such. {his measure was fully discussed | in the House and passed by a par- ty vote; it was discuesed by the pablic jourvals with an earcest- vess seldom witnessed, and it was anvessed by the people them- selves with an f that has characterized no other public measure for years tbe Republican masses had placed the stamp of their approv- al upon before it reached the Senate, Yet, weeks and weeks have been consumed by that hon- orable body in desultory discus om ot the tarriff and similar ques now at the last mo- ment it is announced that the measure must go over to the next session of Congress. I'he Democratic Senators will oppose the passage of the bill then with the same vehemence that would have characterized their ac- been pressed to an is- sue at the present session. All the structive parliamentary tactics that are available to them now, will be available then, aud there will be but thirteen weeks, g Christmas holidays, in he matter can be consider- inless there should be an extra { Congress. To the Re- the country who i forward bopefully to } {this measure, itis asore disappointment. It is not our parpose to arraign any indi- vidual Senator for the failure of his just and much needed meas- tions. And The Detroit Piciadealer, reterr- and Maller says: iv tt n will only arise above per ' w their pla in the >have defrauded them y would do what is prop- cumstances, amd they returned by overwhelm- ng to Langston Well, now we don’t know so much about that, and we should nesitate a long while before ad- vising these gentlemen to resort to such heroic measures; first be- cause it would bea mighty dan- ge‘ous experiment indeed, and »cause we know that would not receive a nis consideration from eith- er of the gentlemen referred to. We advise them to séick, and we are willing to wager our head that they will take our advice econd advice The colored convention that met at Raleigh, N.C, this week listen to Hon. H. I’, Cheatham,-committed a groas error. Mr Cheatham’s course in Congress has been commendable and upright, with but a slight ex ception. Mr. Cheatham has done more for bis constituents than any Congressman that has ever repre~ sented his district. The man who offered the insult should re- ceive the condemnation of the republicans of North Caroiina. lis nomination by acclamation af terso wueh biuster by aspiring andidates is un evidence of how he stands among the republicans Mr. Cheatham was rigbt in de- ending the administration, he Was correct in asserting that Mr. il -rrison kas done more for the Ne groes than any President that has ever occupied the Executive chair. and refused to ENDORSED., The Iowa A.

Confer- ence at its recent session at Gales- bury, [ll., passed the following resolution unanimously, ov mo- tiou of Dr. Derrick of New York: Resolved, That this meeting heartily endorse the appointment of Hon.

Bruce Friday. | Owing to some of our help be~ jing off for a little recreation, a large portion of important matter | had to be left out. Look out for a spicy paper next week. Our genial friend E. M. Hew- lett, was confirmed last Wednes- |day. The public and the patrons |of the Brg should read our nex }issue, which will contain some interesting reading. If Congress is to counnue the session without passing the Elec- tion Bill, we think it would not be : miss for Senator Blair to urge the consideration of some meas- ure Isoking to the education of the millions of illiterates in this country. It is of vastly more im- portance than the tarriffor any other measure now before that body. SS aanEEEREEEaEEenenea The best way to treat the Negro is to consider hima man according to qualifi- cations, and let his color go to the winds, —State Republican, [Selma Ala.] Yes, this is our doctrine, and we hope tosee it accepted and acted upon some day» not only by the whites, but by the colored peo- ple as well, for certain it is that many of the latter class are ex- pecting success more upon the score of color than upon any qualification that they may pos- sess. If High Price of the Advocate or any body eise wants satisfac- tion from the editor of this paper, he can get it by calling at this of- fice. ‘the bar room is not the place to make bluster specches and cowardly assertions which will not be made in the editor’s presence. We have been success ful thus tar in putting an end to all purloiners and blacklegs. t necessary for the edi- Bre to bein reaching to read Dukes’ letter ‘ashington ludy (7). We uave uv a lady in Washington that would correspond with such acharacter as Dukes. Publish the letter Dukes and if we fail to prove our assertion of August 9th the courts are opeu for the lady’s (7) vindication. Dukes has has gone further West to hunt for a reputation. = It is not teo late yet for a republican Congress to repair a great wrong done to the republicans ot Mississippi by a repub- licean committee reporting against the seating of the republican members from this State, Hill and Kernagan.-—Peoples” Defender, Miss. “It is never too late to mend,” isan old aphorism, but 1s there a disposition on the part of tLe Re- publican House of Representatives to do jestice to these contestants? During the discussion of these cases before the committee and since the adverse report was made we have earnestly urged the seat- ing of these contestants, snd we shall continue to do so to the end. RENTING BY COLOR- ED PEOPLi. HOUSE BY T, G. STEWART. One of the most humiliating ex- periences tor the ‘*person ot color” who may happen to come to Wash- ington to live is that of “house hunting.” Looking over the papers he will see hundreds of hoaseg for rent, and will find agents in abun- davee. It will take him bata few moments, perhaps, to fiud the lo- cation and the house he wants; but then instead of being at the end of his search, as would be the case if he were white, he bas just reached the Dbeginniug of his | “hunt.” For the colored renter it is indeed a hunt, and the wore re spectable, and the more able to} pay a good rent be is, the more likely 1t is that his bunt will be long and serious. I know of no ex- perience so exasperating and at the same time so humiliating, as that of house hueting to the cultivated and respectable colored man. j Here is aman, perhaps, who is} | himself the owner of houses, and | | who bas never thought ot discrimi- nating against avy man under | j heaven, for what may be called | | properly “the acts of God ;” a citi-| zen of the United States represent- | ing the votes of thousands of his; fellow citizens; or holding a com-| mission from the President, in all respects an honorable and thor~ oughly desirable tenant so far as it | has been in his power tomake himself one, and with the money of the government in his hand to tender in payment in advance fur the use of a bouse publicly announ- ced without any limitation, as be~ ing for rent, and yet the owner or agent acting for him, kas the pow- ertorule out his respectability, his citizenship, and his money and decline to let him bave the house simply and solely because be is, whathe bas been taught to call, colored. Who can imagine the man’s feelings, and who can blame him for the Geep muttered curses which may sweep through his mind as he stands thus publicly bumili- ated and shamed in areal estate office? What is the remedy? The first remedy to be provided as I think is the remedy of law. The same sort of law that applies to common carriers, ought in my judgement to apply to common bomes. Houses publicly announce. ed for rent ought to come under the provisious of a law forbidding discrimintion on account of race color or previous condition. Such a law ought to be enacted for the District of Columbia and put in force. It is an outrage beyond the power of man to estimate, that thousands of our best citizens are subjected to daily insult in this particular. In the meantime let the colored people of the Dis’t organize as far as possible and deliver them- selves from this humiliating condi- tion. In order to effect some modifica- tion 1 would recommend now, what I recommended two years ago, Viz: that the colored men of means take the Philadeldhia plan, and buy up suburban property, and tenant- houses, and vacant lots in this city and open bomes for colored people thus drawing them away from white landlords. I would propose also the withdrawal of patronage in every other practicable direc- tiov, from all those who are engag- ed in this conspiracy to drive color- ed people from all respectable houses. To my mind it would be a good thing for the various color- ed associations to take up this sub ject and give ita most thorough discussion, and I ventare the re- mark, that any set of people who quietly endure such indignities are not sigually indicating their claims as worthy citizens of this great Re- public. We can break up this out- rageous iniquity right here in Washington and itis our duty to get about it. $0 MR. STEWART RESIGNS, To the President and honorable body of the Junior Excelsior Beneficial Asso. GENTLEMEN: — It is with feelings of commingl- ed regret and duty, that my resig- nation from date as a member of your honorable body is hereby tendered, having during nearly six years been connected with your association, a8 President and us a member, and having devot- ed energy, patience and whatever abilicy [ may have possessed to~ ward the elevation ot your organ- ization and also toward the con- sumation of its avowed purpose, and our relationship baving been so signally amicable, cordial and always fraternal, there are no words that can express the emo- tion that I fell as I contemplate the many happy reminiscences that we bave had in common, and the severance of my reiation. ship with your association dictut. ed as itis, by a sense of duty is indeed written with a reluctant hand; but yet the knowledge that Ihave of the efficiency of your officers, the capacity of your m: mbers, and the social and finan- cial status of your association, assures me that its future cannot be other than one conspicuous in the successful accomplishment of all its undertakings. With friendly greeting and God speed, W. A. Stewart.
