CALVIN CHASE, Editor, ee eo ee A BLUNDER. When a few days ago, in the face ef Democratic bluster aud in- solence the Republican party abandoned temporarily the posi- tion which it had assumed on the city and abuse one of their highly respected citizens. Rev Johnson has done too much for the people in his section of the city, in which his church is builtto allow any insult from an alien. The people of his congregation should rise as one person and resent the insu't offered him. The Metropolitan Baptist church is not the little R St., ‘Baptist church, it is to day ove of the best known churches in this country and its pastor is known tobe aman of push, enterprise and respectability. To whom are the people of the Metropolitan Baptist church in- depted for their beautiful edifice? To whom are they indebted fora reformation of a section of the Federal Election bill and consent- | ed to defer itsconsideration to the next session of Congress, it com-|} mitted an egregious blunder. From the day the bill was intro- duced to the day that the compro- | mise was effected by which its| consideration was suspended dar- | ing the present session, the dem- | ocrats have been unable to offer a single valid objection to its pas« sage. In fact they could make no argument against it and practical- ly attempted to make none. They | relied upon the tactics which had served them successfully before the war—defiance and insolence— | thoroughly understanding the cowardice ot the commercial spir- it ot the North, and counti: g con fideutly upon it for success. This strikingly illustrated by the tone of the southern press. | The Atlanta Constitution made somewhat famous by Gradys shiul- low declamation said recently: By way 0! tay right he t wh the tidings that the Pre= the force bill the “Con stantly call a a Home Rule will be th of people ev- divs tion will as speedy as leaps from its The boye man snd child will be mightier t marching tect on from sea to sea. Does not this s ike the editorials that appeared In the Charleston Mercury before the war? It was not without infla- ence then in tees--t- even then of and its failure pointed now. done in eon- his measure, results from a pprebension on the part of the Southern people. The Democracy «f that section will assert indeed. are alrerdy sesert- ing, that the Republican party has been routed and compelled to abandon its chiet levisiative meus- ure; while R-patlicans, many of them at least, will not readily un- derstand the rituation. That the bill canrot be passed this session isa matter of deep cegrez, bat that it certainly will be passed at the next session there is no doubt No matter what muy be the re- sulte uf the fail elections, whether the Democrats shall j mens+ majorities in the South uublu-hing frauds as t have dove in Arkansas, or the Repuil cans shall inspite of fraud and violence carry the election, one thing may be sefely predicted— the passuge of the F.deral Elec- tion Bill. The people do not in- failed, nevertheles permanent succe will be much more But the mischief senting to lay us even tempor geveral mi ey tend longer to be detrauded at the | ballet box and governed by a mi- nority party. REV. ROBT. JOHNSON. We can readily understand why a bad man is abused and crit- icised for misdomeanors, but, it is surprising to us why a good and enterprising man should be attacked in his own city by an alien, who has no more interest in the city than to advance his own interest to the detriment cf oth- ers. We referto the address of Rev. W. W. Browne, of Rich-| mond, Va., in the convention of} Trae Reformers held in the Mt. | Pisgah church a few days ago. | Thie gentleman went a long ways! out of the line of the business of| the convention to attack Rev. | Robt. Johnson, who left that Or- der some years ago. | Mr. Browne is at liberty to at- | tack aman on his own grounds, but, itis in bad taste for him to come to this city and make a per- sonal attack ona divine who is respected and honored by the en- tire community. Rev. Jobnson’s work in this city is eutitled to/ the highest commendation and| the peopie will not tolerate a man like Rey: Browne to come to this | clutches of those who bound tim, | Rev. Jonnson was on the field of nd very much |} city which was at one time a modern hades, but, today a para- dise? Rev. Johnson bas not on'y fought the battle for Christ, but, he was a brave soldier in the late civil war. While Rev. Browne was bound by the sbakles of slavery and un~ able fo free himself from the battle with a musket in his hand, jaiding in the liberation of the very man who has attempted to traduce him. He has opened his |cLurek deors to further advance his interest and the work of the True Reformers, and he is com. pensated with abuse. Will the members of the Metropolitan Bap'ist church tolerate this kind of treatment toward their pastor, who has done so much to elevate them? We know that Rev. John- sou’s members have too much respect for him to allow this insult to go unoticed. THE NEGRO JUDAS. Nr: Montgomer: ne negro delegaté, addressed the Mi pp! constitutional convention yesterday in support ofthe and in favor of white ashington Star. Yes, a Negro, an ex-slave of Jefferson Davis’ brother support~ ing a proposition looking to the permanent establishment of white supremacy in the State of Missis~ sippi, is the peculiar spectacle which we are called upon to con- |template today. Mississippi in many respects has a remarkable and she has produced ‘ry remarkable men. She e lead in the secession movement avd gave the confeder- acy i's President--Jeflerson Davis. In the years immediately follow- ing the war she gave the country two Ecolore! U. S Senators, the nly two persons of this race who have ever ceccupied seats in that body. From this same race at a later period she gave the ovuntry two government Bureau officers; the ouly ones who have ever re ceived this distinction. Now, she startles the country by ptedacing a colored man who. as thesvle representative of his rues inthe State constitutional convention, unblushingly advo- cates white supremacy and the pre al disfranchi-ement. of bis own people. The question uatur- ally arices is he a toul or a knave? | Ttseems to us that he is a good dea! of both. There seems never- s to be methods 1m his mad~ . His ambition is to obtain a seat in Congr:sa, and he hopes by thus degrading himself to curry favor with the Negro bating de- mocracy aud thereby advance his own interests. We see no differ- ence between a white oppressor aud a Negro traitor. HAS CITIZ | | One evening this week a lady {and gentleman entered the ice cream and eating soloon, formerly | a resturant kept by Reed and Har- tis, and ordered ice cream. Police- man Daily entered and requested the parties to vacate which they | refused to do. Officer Daily asked them did they know the reputation | of the house, if not, he would call a patrol wagon and send them to the station house. The parties whereupon left. This is a high handed piece of bulldozing and in- timidation. What right has any officer to enter a man’s place ot bus- iness and order people to leave. The house is now condacted by Mrs. Hans and she has a license and iu this case she has an action against the District. __ Republicans left the House of Representatives Wednesday to keep from voting for Langston. Coleman of Louisiana should be left at home. —— Ex-senator Bruce has accepted | an invitation from the National | Republican Committee to make an | extensive campaiga in the northb-| | let muster of the day, his dances ern and eastern States, beginning about October ist. HOW TO TREAT £ SWEET| been personally arranged by Le} HEART. When he comes to see you, let me} give you a few hints as to your) treatment of him :— - First of all, my dear, don’t let him) get an idea that your one object in| life is to get all you can out of him. Don’t let him believe that you think so lighly of yourself tbat wheuever he has an idle moment be can find you ready and willing to listen to him. Don’t let him think that you are going out driving with him alone, even if your mother should be lenient enough to permit this. Don’t let him think that you are going to the dance or the frolic with him; you are going with your brether, or else you are going to make up a party which will all go together. Don’t let him spend his money on you; when he goes away, he may} bring you a box of sweets, a book or some music ; but don’tmake him feel that you expect anything but courteous attention. Don’t let him call you by your first name at least not until you are engaged to him, and then only when you are by yourself. Don’t let him put his arms around you and kiss you; when he put the pertty ring on your finger it meant that you were to be bis wife sooa, be then gained a_ few right but not the one of indiscriminate | caressing.

Making friends is easy to the girl who is bright and happy, Whose society gives pleas- ure and who is genial. But thej keeping of them demands mor tuan this.
