Nothing exceeds in elegence the velvety beauty of the Cordurettes, Bedford and whip cords. Faney and plain astrachan are much used for cloaks, and also for the trimming of dresses and wraps. Matelasses in lovely color com- bination are revived, and form sleeves, panels, &c., upon coats and cloaks.

LINCOLN—PRO- TECTION, wc. (Advertisement. ) Editor of the Bee: My object in addressing you is, that I ‘ask for protection and to give a poor man a_ chance for bis! iife aud character. The mistake of the democrats is that they | indorse economy and this is} distroying the virvure of the poor man and is the cause of this trou- | ble among the laboring men and} the public officers through the | country. -The demoerats are doing | harm to the republican party but the republicans are wreaking the demo- | cratic party: Is this the life of the | government? This is the question for your consideration and action. The law should be changed so we can have a_ united government.- After a careful ex amination and consideration, of those questions my conclusion is that itis with you to improve our condition. The fact is that the colored people donot know what they want, it seems to me that the colored people are on the wrong side of the question. The adyan- | tages that are taken of them should protection and as a united govern- ment and the abolishment of sec- tional prejadice. My opinion is that to make a good judgment, it should be lawful to appoint half democrats in the cabinet and half this point to have a constitational convention. I found a new a- mendment ‘to the constitution of tue United States, we colored men should know the advautage of their influence. I believe that this move would be tothe advantage | of the colored people throughout the country and will find that the colored men will receive offices from the general government such as police officers, firemen and other offices through the country. Let) us abolish sectional prejudice. 1 | desire to call your attention toa very important pout of protection. We colored people must ask | the sympathy of the democratic poliee and courts, and judges, we must remember the thousands of colored people, that are employed in the tamilies. of these people and we} must pot make any mis'ake at this point, but indorse a united govern- ment and this will*be to yourad- vantage in the future. If the white people of this country snould lose faith or confidence m the colored people ; what can we expect In the Te i Wer Sone ol the best writers in the on nim Ty will be added to the staff.

My observa- tion isthat it would be detriment- al to us. We mest remember that three sections of this government give colored people the privilege of vot- ing and to hold offices; and my aad that is why we should be firm in the republican party, and not make any mistake at this point. The colored men must vote and must not be forced as soldiers to | fight. My impression is that thous- ands of men that vote the demo- cratic ticket would not fight to pro- tect the government from its ene- mies. My object for addressing you is that I am anxious to have united the friends of General Grant and the friends of Mr. Robert Lincoln, these are tie men who should be held in grateful reme nberances. Mr. Lincoln is the man for President of these United States and 1 believe that quite a number of Southern de- mocrats would vote for Mr. Linc»In for President. ate sectional prejudice and create a united government and my view is that Mr. E¢ward Booth of New York is the man for Secretary of War. This may seem bitter but sweet. Ifthe republican party is defeated it will be its own fault. The great obstacle is the unjust taxation on whiskey avd tobacco. The law should be changed which would be an advantage to the gov ernment, and we should observe closely the advantage of the change of the law and we should observe the arm that is poisoning the minds of the poor men against the republican party. We must not make any mistake at this point. And in reference to the money question, gold, silver or green- back are good enough for me. The abolation of slavery in the South has advanced the Southern people, and my impression is that thous- ands of men that vote the demo- cratic ticket would not fight to pro- tect the goyernment from its ene- mies. I desire to call your atten- tion toa very important point of | protection thousands of men are losing their lives in lunitic asylums from the effect of prejudice. This is the reason we ask for protection. It seems tome thatthe demo- cratic party is losing ground. Free trade is dangerous to the poor ‘man and distroying the life of this government. ‘The future of the poor man is the question that we must consider. 1 believe that an independent republican party is wanted. The South must learn to vote the republican ticket. I am willing to be examined by any ie as to my character judgement, WE. HENRY C, LOVEFECE. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Mr. Hatton, we said that we in- tended to call youon that band you ‘“‘anted up” about the young colored bucks. It was your deal, we hope you are satisfied with what Mr. Moss had in his hand when he called? We are at least. You Jaid down yours. It was not a “jack pot,” but a “‘aplit”—two of a kind showed up Mr. Moss bas the pool. Judge Bradley, can you sleep without trouble at night since your sentence of the colored boy to six years in the penitentiary for grabb- ing @ pocket book? If so please let a soffering patient know how it is done. The “Open Court” of Chicago pokes some respectful fun at_ the World’s Woman’s Christian Tem~ perapce Uniou convention lately held in Washington touching in= consistency.- The ladies had cen- sured the fashion of wearing birds on bonuets and ornamental feath- ers, unless plucked in painless way, because of the cruelty and wanton waste involved in obtaining them. But nothing was said against the wearing of sealskin cloaks, the principal material of which 1s taken from harmless crea- tures brained with clubs. ‘The Open Court” is mean enough to go as far back as Adam and the psalmist to fiud arguments to con- fu:e and conVict these ladies. The whole question resolves itself into this: ‘ihe temperance ladies are right, but the birds, feathers, seals and what not thought necessary to fashion will continue to be plucked, clubbed, killed, so long as thereare any feathers, birds or seals to cateb, beat or slaughter. Fashion is stronger than hamanity, or rather bumauity wiil never rive above the wants and decrees of “society,” whatever resolution, |leveled at man’s cruelty to the lower orders of creation, may be passed. i A woman gets in a street car and gives sorrowfal expressions about firm. belief is that the God that: Miortable looking, and extreme=.-giveth is the God that taketh away the poor tired horses; the drivers cruelty, etc. etc.,and this same This would obliter- | woman and ber set will have these same “poor tired horses” hauled up six or seven times in one block instead of going to the corner and bailing the car. Bosh on the love and inflictive expressions of a wo- man’s sympathy for the animal creation there is nothing bat stuff in the biggest of it, A HINT THROWN AT WARDEN BURKE. Mr. George K. French, one of the lawyers who have been foremost in making charges against spbor-~ dinate oificers of the jail tor cruelty toward prisoners, suggested yes- terday that the propriety of the jail officials asking for an investi- gation. ‘There will be an investi- gation anyway,” he said, ‘‘from all I can hear, and it seems that the proper move on the warden’s part woald be to demand an inquiry at once,” If there is an institution in this community that needs deep inves— tigation itis the hotel presided over by Mr. Jerome B. Burke. Maj. Barke isa good man, that we all admit, but his surrounding. Well we will wait development. Y.M.C.

That young man’s heart will not stay empty long, be will find com- panions. Evil bolds out bis hands, buat virture has washed her hands and is careful about soiling them. We used to wiite in our copy- books, ‘*Virture is its own reward.” Many a young man in the bitter~ ness of his unaided struggle tu keep upright has no doubt uttered the sarcasm that it is excessively fortunate for virture that she 18 her own reward, as no one else seems inclined to reward her, or even give her a word of friendly encouragement. The sneer isn’t true, but it seems trae to the man’s experience, and a young man ought not to be left alone with a bitter experience he that. If you want @ young man to be virtuous, lend some external attractions to virtue till he comes to love her tor ber own sweet sake. Now there ought to be some pleasant place in our city where aman lke that should feel that he is welcome. A voice from the depths of anguish cries ont—How long be- fore the ministers and the men of God iu this city, willraise their voices against marder and lynch- ing in the Sonthern states??? The Sunday afternoon meetings are great moral, religious and 1n- telectual agents, and are working great results, but they will soon be without attraction if long, tedious, speeches dry, aad out of date, and place are inflicted upon the audi- tors. ‘In the ocean of thought there 1s room for every sai:.” * A laugh followed Senator Ingalls’ remark that Frederick Douglass, the greatest living representative of his race, ‘greater by his Cau casian reinforcement than by his African blood,” but the Senator was in earnest and there was noth- ing humorous in his words as he went on to insist that the Douglass idea of absorption of races was empty and worthless. He insisted that the races could not, would not mingle. It may be of some consolation Mr, Ingalls, now that you are out of a job, anda something to be laughed at, that the-great man you sought to belittle isso large that he pities your sad fall. If ever you get to power again don’t fail to remember, be laughs best who laughs last. “Thy head is full of quarrels, as an egg is full of meat.” ‘*Well. so, would any= body's head be, who had walked the floor for a week, with a horrible face- ache.” - ‘*You don’t say so. how dread- ful! step out and bring you a bot- tle of quick-cure, called Salvation Oil.” Office Delaware Co.

S. Grant, in an interview, ob- jects to the removal of the remains of her husband, to Washington, as proposed by a bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Plumb.

My son Ulysses lives at Salem Centre, Westchester county, from whence he cancometo me | readily. He and his children are with me to-day. I am growingold.
