GOVERNOR 0’ FERRELL. One of the most and distin- guished specimen of manhood and statemanship can be found in Gov- ernor O’ Ferrell of Virginia. During our trip in Virginia we called to see Virginia’s (tovernor. We have every reason to believe that Virginia will yet be the garden spot of the South, and the rights of the negro protected by proper law. The legislature of Virginia will recommend a law, making it death for an attempt or a crimnal assault upon afemale. Death is the only thing that will deter evil doers. Lynch law will be a thiug of the past in thefState in a few months. OWN JUDGES OF THEIR ELECTION. The republicans of this city cer- tainly congratulate Col. Andrew Gleason on the manly stand he has taken in the contest for delegate from this city. He has not shown any degree of selfishness, nor has he attempted to defeat other aspirants of proper representation. Who ever heard of men being judges of their own election. Is this the principles of the National Republican Party? What class of people would tolerate such a high handed piece of imposition but Dis- trict republicans. w We are told, if there is a conffest, we shall be deprived of représenta- tion. Dede TIT t Let it be so? It by protesting and denouncing fraud and imposi- tion must be the necessary elements to deprive the people of their ri. hts and liberties, let it be so. Are we to have ignorance imposed upon us against our will? Shall we be compelled to accept of an arristocrat and tyranical landlord, because the National Republican Committee want it? Shall we stand this dose? It makes no dif- ference who the judges may be, it is the intention of the republicaus in the several Districts to see that the rights of the severa! candidates are not denied them. This pretense of fairness and the interference of the whiskey traffic will yet be the death of the re pub lican party. Letevery man be on guard and show that tyranny and ignorance shall not represent the District of Columbia at the next National Con- vention. A TEMPEsT IN A TEA PO1. Some time ago there was organ- ized in this city an organization, known asthe Union League The object of which was to in- duce the »hite merchants to hire colored salesmen and women, etc. The Bex ead then that it was an unwise movement inaugurated by men, who had their own interest toserve. What has been the re- sult? Two banquets given and the members were taxed one dollar a plate to pay for them. Certain gentlemen selected to make ‘‘spread eagle’ speeches which contained neither sense nor reason. One member said if these white merchants wanted the negro trade they must hire negro clerks, sales- mer and women ef the Afro-Ameri- can race. No one-but a fool woud made nse of such words. The fact is the white merchants get the Afro-American trade and ple? negro salesmen and women are not hired either, except by Parker & Co., who employes Mr. P. H.; Dixon, who is. respe ted by all classes of citizens. The Union League had nothing to do with pufting Mr. Dixon where he is to-day, Mr. Dixon has more power to do than the entire Union League, His friends will follow him. The Union League is too exclu- sive. Men should be placed at its head who can draw the masses, and not men who have failed in everything they have andcrtaken, and in whom the people have lost confidence. Itis not the intention of The Bre todoubt the good intentions of these gentlemen, Fut it is a fact that good intentions of men with- out the necessary forces hehind them cause many people to be paupers. ~ THE COMING ELECTION. The politicians are in a quandary as to what the three judges of e- lections will do, in the coming con- test for delegates from this city to the National Republican Convyen- tion. It is suid that Mr. Carson wants the delegates elected at the primaries to the city conveution; that Mr. Gleason is opposed to those methods, while Mr. Parker is in doubt as to what he will do. What difference does it make how they are elected so lung as the mode that is adopted :s a fair one. The delegates should be elected in the 22 legislative districts to a Dis- trict convention, which no doubt would give greater satisfaction to a majoricy of the republicans. NEGRO MANHOOI On the 28th of this month it wel] be decided if there is any pvanhood in the negro in this cite publican party. >" : ‘The question, for the negro re- publicaus ‘vo consideris, a blouted bond holder, a real estate can- didate and an enemy to the negro revwublican to be elected to represent ‘the republican party in the next National Republican Convention ? Will the negro republican sacri- fice his manhood by voting for a man who refuses to rent them} houses upon the public streets? Will the negro vote for a man whu has regarded the negro incapable oi holding an office any higher than a butler, waiter or caterer ? and the re- any Do you intend to please the peo-! The judges will probably giv® satisfaction. good deeds. The souvenir edition of The Bez| will be a grent paper. The people will not be satisfied until the right of suffrage is re- stored. Why should over 250,000 people be disfranchised ? In Union there is strength. The election of District delegates to the National Convention will now begin. The Bex tenders its congratula- tions to Kditor John Mitchel, for his noble fight in behalf of abused humanity. Messrs. Carson and Parker are too greedy to retire from the board of supervision. Col. M..M. Parker might as well retire from the field as he will never be elected. Col. M. M. Parker discharged alt the negro republicans from office. Did he ever have an idea that he would ask them for their suffrages ? Col. M. M. Parker never ap- pointed one colored republican the whole time he was Commissioner. He did discharge a colored re- publican and appoitited a white re- away ‘their honor and manhood ? R.C.M. BURTON 911 E Street, N.

The suggestion of The Bex is that Bailey, Key, Holland, Purvis, Ortlipp, Saunders and Gleason come together and decide on a plan of campaign. If Gleason and Bailey combine as delegates and Saunders and Key combine, with Ortlipp and Purvis as alternates, or if Ortlipp, Purvis and Holland withdraw and support Gleason, Bailey, Key and Saunders there will be unity in the ranks, The local contest is growing warm. The Bex is daily gaining popular favor. The sanitorium of Dr J. R, Francis is a monument to the col- ored race. | | The cold snap was sudden and severe.

Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, in his book, “The Old South,” has much to say in praise of the wives and mothers of the old regime. The master of the planta- tion, he says, might shift much of his responsibility upon a competent over- seer, but the mistress had no such means of relief. “She was mistress, Manager, doctor, counsellor, seam- stress, teacher, housekeeper, slave al at once.” Such a woman was told by her husband that one of the gates wa broken. “Well, my dear,” she answer ed, “if I could sew it with my needle and thread I would mend it for you.” In another place Mr. Page says that some years ago he was shown a worn and faded letter, written on old Con- federate paper with pale Confederate ink. It had been taken from the breast-pocket of a dead private sol- dier of a Georgia regiment after one of the battles around Richmond. It was from his sweetheart. They must have been plain and illiterate people, for it was badly written and badly spelled. In it she told him that she loved him; that she had always loved him since they had gone to schoo! together in the little schoolhouse in the woods; that she was sorry she had al- Ways treated him so badly, and that now, if he would get a furlough and come home, she would marry him. Then, as if fearful that this tempta tion might prove too strong to be r- sisted, she scrawled a little postscrip! across the blue Confederate sheet: “Don’t come without a furlough, for if you don’t come honorably I won't FREIGHT DELIVERY AGENTS] ™"¥ 7ou.” PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD, Sth Street cor.
