The so-called invitation aud Army to epcamp 32, from the citizens of is strictly a business rom strictly business men an object of business in Financially, those who ibed—they being with 4 precious few exceptions, men, such as inn keepers, of hotels, bar-rooms, lunch and dairy rooms, steam boats, places of amusement, real estate boomers and brokers, rail road and transpotation managers, and ‘relic hunters,” syndicate, ete., who see from the beginning that their prof- its will trible their outlay. Fourth. Outside of ascant num- ber in official life, (but in many cases interested indirectly in busi- ness also) there is no genuine loyal | hospitality meant, or public spirit in the movement to bring the} Grand Army here, for this is by no means a city, a commanity in sym- pathy with the results of the war, out of which the Grand Army of the Repablic was created. Be it remembered, in proof of this assertion, that Gen. John A. Logan died here and the only pub- | lic notice taken of his death was on | the part of the colored fellow citi- zens in two monster mass memorial | services one at Lincoln Memorial charch, under the auspices of the Philomathian Society, Mr. Wm. Calvin Chase, presiding ; Hon. Geo. W. Williams, orator, and at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, under the Bethel Historical Association, Mr. John Wesley Cromwell, presid ing; Hon, John Mercer Langston, orator. Gen. Phillip KH. Sheridan died while on duty as General of the Army and the same thing was true in his case; he had a government funeral and memorial services alone by the colored people and the same thing is also true in the case of Gen. David Hunter, who was over fifty years a soldier in the army of the United States. It is fitting and proper that the Grand Army should encamp in some loyal community, where the results of the late civil war ata premiam. and where liberty and justice exist practice as well as theory. But certainly not -here were one third of its population, “our faithful allies,” as the late Gen. Garfield termed the colored people, are made to feel that they are aliens, in the land their fathers and brothers shed their blood to save from the hands ot traitors and rebels. Let the Grand Army stand faith- fully by its high standard of man’s equality before the law, and refuse to honor an invitation from a class of people whose secret boast 1s that even now they nullify the principles that the Grand Army fought to es- tablish, We stand for right, jus- tice and progress. Mr. Commander, aud Comrades, there are loyal communities in this country that will willingly aud cheertully pay the tribute of affec- tion out of their patriotic and union loving souls to the men who save the country. Let us encamp in some such place in 1892. Yours in F. 0. & L., GEO. MIKE ARNOLD, 4th Reg’t. U. S. Col. Troops, Chairman Soldiers and Sailors League. WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

GREGORY VINDICATED: HIS TRADUCERS DEFEATED THE WISE ACTIONS OF THE COMMISSION- ERS. THE CITIZENS SATISFIED. Below will be seen the action of the District Commissioners in the ease of Prof. James M. Gregory, who was charged with official cor- ruption by a setofmen in whom the coummunity have no confi- dence. On Wednesday July 23rd, the Commissioners reported the following : Upon full consideration of the testimovy iu the case of Prof. J. M. Gregory we find that he bas uot been guilty of any corrupt official action ; but we find that in making loans from his persoual friends among the teachers he acted indis- creetly. Wednesday Prof. Gregory sent the Commissioners the following letter : July 23rd, 1891. [To the Honorable Commissiouers of the District of Columbia : Gentiemen: I have for some time determined to offer you my resignation as a member of the board of trustees of the public schools. I have been unwilling to do so until my character had been vindicated from the unjust asper- sious sought to be cast upon it from wotives which I need not characterize. Understanding that this has now been done by you, after fall inquiry iuto the facts and a cheerful consideration of the evi- dence, I beg herewith to tender my resignation, coupling with it the assurance of my appreciation for the uniform courtesy and respect which Ihave always received at your bands and my sincerest and best wishes for the continued pros- perity of the schools under your interested and wise direction ot | them. | Yours, very respectfaly, James M. Gregory. This letter covered a single page of the letter paper ot the school | trustees. On the other side of the} paper was hastily scrawled in Com- missioner Douglass’ slanting hand : “Accepted to take effect July; 28rd, 1891.” | d.W.D. | J. W.R. H. M. R. 2 WE LIVE TO PLEASE. W.C. Chase is one of the ablest colored Southern leaders of the} race. Mr. Chase has done yeoman service for the Republican party and deserves a fitting recognition. If he had been appointed one of the assessors of the District of Colum- bia, it would have been very pleas- ing tothe majority of the colored people here.—Correspondent Indi- | napolis World.
