While we baven’t agreed with Congressman Cheatham in many things that we have personal rea- sons forcriticising him, we can not help from commending him for his mavy kind acts towards his constituents and his race. He has been ever ready; so far as we know, to extend a helping hand to those in need of assistance. While there may be many things to eriticise him for, there are many things for which he should be commended. ntered at the Post Office at Washington ., a6 Second Class mail matter. W. CALVIN CHASE, Editor, OS LANGSTON AND MI LLER. The action of the House of Representatives in seating the con- testants, Messrs. Langston and Miller, though late, is highly com- mendable. Considering the cir- cumstances under which these contestants were made and the overwhelming testimony submit- ted in these cases in favor of the contestants, one is inclined to ask why so much delay has been re- sorted to. Their admission to seats now will nevertheless have a salutory effect upon the masses of the Republican party. It empba- sizes the fact that the Republican party bas not drifted from its} moorings; that it adhers to its old landmarks and that it is sull the party of justiceand freedom. It 18a complete answer to the s0- called independant and kickers who were attempting to justify their own apostasy by pointing to tardiness ot the House of Repre- sentatives in passing upon these cases.

Frauk Hume should be supported for Congress against Lee, by every loyal voter of the 8th Congressional district of Va. Dukes the escaped criminal says that he is done with the Brg. All crimivals and ex-con- victs will flee from the sting of the Brg.

This is done to harmonize the party ip Ohio and appease the 28,000 color- ed voters of that State, over whom, Mr. Smith has absolute control. He has held many honorable avd lucrative public offices among which was the position of Deputy Oil Inspector of the State of Ohio. The position paid between $20 and $30a month.

Thomas pastor of the Enon Baptist cbureb, 8. E., in behalf ct a club oi ladies and gentlemen, with ver) interesting and encouraging words, presented to the charch a beauti faland magniticens silver plited communion service, and two five linen table cloths also napkins to be used with theset. This club was organized with Mrs, Martha Montgomery as presiden'; Mrs. Josephine Harris, treasurer; Mr. Henry Thorton, Secretary and 43 other brothers and sisters aud friends. The pastor Rev, J. H. Lee responded in bebalfof the chu: Immediately after this anotl elub consisting entirely of lac appeared with Mrs. Delia Lewis president, Mrs. D. Peyton, vice president, Mrs. L. Lewis, Miss F. E.

At enother’ meeting more largely atvended by the mem bers a vote of thanks was tendered by the chureb to the clubs and to all friends who may have iu any way aided them in these grand and noble acts. The Third Baptist churen is making rapid progress, and it has sume uoble hearted, faithful aod earnest workers iv its midst, who don’t iutend to leave a stone unturned in the Mas- ters cause. The church is coming to the front. THINGS WHICH MEN. ATTRACT What attracts a man is one thing; what will bold him, and command his respect, is quite another, say Edward W. Bok in the Ladies Home Journal. A woman’s smile, for example, attracts aman; but an eveo iew per retains him. A pleasant manner attracts a man; brightness of brain holds bim. A knowledge of how, when and where to be a little stateiy, attracts a@ man; an appreciation of the folly frivolity, wins his respect. A respect for the religious belief ef every human being, attracts a man; irreverence iu woman is to him abominable. A consideration for his comfort attracts 8 mau, a continuation of this makes him your most humble slave. A chat in which there 1s no mal- ice, attracts a man; neitber scan- dal nor evil speaking make a wo- man seem sweet and lovely to him.
