A There are regular Authorized Col- <ectors in the employ of THE BEE Printing Co.. and when they call to see delinguent subscribers they are re- yuested to pay them and not give the « vcuse that ‘they wilt see the Editor.” the Editor has no time to see the sub- .-vibers, and it is oped that his riends and the patrons of THE BEE WHITE MEN RESIGN. When Hon. Jo-eph E. Lee, the newly appointed Collector of Inter- nal Revenue, assumed charge of his office on Tuesday last, all of the white cler\s left the office and refused vo return. Mr, Lee is one of the most brainy and polished colored men in the South and is doubtless the superior in intellect and moral of any ot the white men who refused to work under him ‘Chis exhibition of color prejudice should receive the strongest and most speedy rebuke. The Civil service Commission which is sup- posed to supervise such offices sould at once recommend the dis- honorable discharge of the offend- ers as ajust punishment for insubor lination, This interferance with the routine of a federal office needs Lie vigorous treatment it deserves and the President ought to take a aud if necessary. ‘The spirit of defiance to constituted authority which is daly manifesting itself at the South and which is making inoperative the constitutional rights and privileges of citizens should be rebuked aud rebuked strongly. ihis would seem proper if for no other reason than that the national tendency is tu spread until the whole country may become infect- et, Much has been said about the Nihilists and Socialists and their direful influence upon our political aud morals institutions. They were justly rebuked by the sober sense of the American people, They were but a handiul and with influence. Yet law- murder and resiricted here we have a condition of lessness, defiance. repine in which whole communities are participating and we have yet to hear of any organized opposition to it on the part of the good peo- ple. On the contrary it seems to be winked at and encouraged by the pre: and even the pulpit. In the gratification vf an intense color prejudice the masses of the whites have lost sight of the awful conse- quences of wrong doing and are submitting to a state of anarchy which puts to shame the boasted christianity God grant, that the evil consequences of this prejudice may be averted. But ass of the people. sination and tyranny are not forees to be encouraged if the country is to maintain its claims to civilization. The life of the nation whose muainspring is obedience to law, is being severely tested and will be endangered so long as murder and wrong are winked at. THE NEGRO MU DIE. Hope Adams, colored candidate for sheriff, «t Forth Worth, Texas, was shot and killed on the 24th of October. He was a azainst the white association. ce oe candidate man’s union The editor of the Aflanta Appeal his the courage of his convictions. While he admits that he is a dem- o:rat, he is more than anxious to see colored men elected to Con- gress, The outlook in Maryland for the republicans is good. There is no doubt of the election of Messrs. Mudd and Pearre and probably three other republidan 4Congress- men. a lea ea SIO tae NO RACE WAR. The political murders which are taking place at the South are represented as the result of a race wr. There is vo shadow of truth in the claim. The methods now being used to disfranchise the colored people are nothing more than the application of the Miss- issippi plan vo North Carolina pol- ities, Moreover, the facts shows that the southern whites are grow- ing more und more bold in their hellish methods. At one time there were secret bands who under cover of night hideous with their shotguns and fire-brands. ‘The good white people disclaimed par- ticipation and told the people at the North that they were not re- sponsible and that the villany was the work of the poor vicious and irresponsible whites. Now chey have torn off the mask and with uublushing villany, in broad day- light, they murder and bulldoze. Moreover, they seem proud to do so and the best people are engag- ing in the scheme. ‘The people have been permitted todo wrong so long until now they insult and kill federal officers with impunity and presume to dictate to the President himself as to the persons he should select to assist in his ad- ministration, There is no race war and the dispatches which come up from the South are colored to decieve the people. I: is an insult to the progressive and toleran. North to be cheated out of their proper representation in Congress and their rights are involve! as well as those of the per-ecuted colored voters. SOU ®HERN CHIVALRY. What does it means? The gal- antry and patriotism of the negro soldiers in the late Spanish-Amer- ican war and his American Republic in the late war of the rebellion are not regarded by the southern oligarchy as com- mendable acts and deeds to rase the citizenship of the negro. The reign of terror in North Caroli:a is a repetition of klu kluxism a little subsequent to reconstruction. The colored citizen of North Car- olina is told if he puts a republican ticket in the field or attempts to vote on Election Day he will be killed. It is a question of con- jecture with us whether it would be wise for the negro to 1esent the insult or repel these threats with armed force or whether it would be wise for himio remain away from the polls. If heroes to the polls, has he got suflicient force to protect | himself? And if he attempts to! protect jhimseif will he be rein-| forced and will that reinforement be} strong enouzh to witistand any, opposite power that might come | against him? Under the coustitu- tion we are told that the executive is powerless to send) troops to the scene ef action to} protect life and property Unless | the negro of North Carolina is| strong enough to meet any emer- | gency our advice to him is to! remain away from the polls. The} negro should be convinced by now] loyalty to the | chief | that the democratic party is not friendly disposed toward and notwithstanding the many false pretenses of the friendship| that party has for for him, the| time has not come for him to join | the demoertic party, | him | | North will again rise in its might MR. S. B. HEGE PROMOTED. One of the most popular and de- | serving promotions, by the manage ment of the Baltimore and Qhio Railroad Company, is that of Mr. ; S. B. Hege to the position of Gen- | eral Agent of the Passenger De- ‘partment at Washington. There is no railroad man in this city more popular among the citizens of | Washington than Mr. Hege. { Notwithstanding many arduous dutics, in connection with the rail-' road company, he has taken partic- ular interest in the affairs of the’ city among the people. The nu-! merous friends of Mr. Hege and the citizens of Washington are particularly pleased and gratified at the promotion of a worthy and deserving man. He is aro al gen- tleman, affiable, liberal and noble. | The Bex extends tv Mr. Hege its’ congratu ations and hope that he will continue to be elevated until he arrives at the top of the lauder. IS If A CONSPIRALY? | We have it from the most re- liable source that the colored officers in the Sixth Virginia reg- iment who have been displaced for white officers is nothing more th n military conspiracy. This regiment has asked to be mustered out and quite likely it will be done. Law. yer James H. Hayes of Richmond, Va., is in the city and had a tatk | with the President on Thursday concerning the appointment of | white officers in this reziment | There is undoubtedly sufficient evidence in the possession of Law- yer Hayes to show a conspiracy. Can the President under the cir- eumstances and such conditiones afford to muster out this regi. ent? IT WILL NOL WORK. ‘The negro sharks who claim to be canvassing and supporting Con gressman Mudd, in Maryland can- not beat that gentleman out of money by denouicing the editor of . - as follows: the Bee, Tie Bee has never ask- ed for one cent to support Mr. Mudd or anv other republican.

Vote the republican ticket next Tuesday. The safety of the uation depends upon the success of our party at the polls “The republican party is the ship, all else is the sea.’’ So said the late Frederick Douglass, than whom there was no greaier lover of liberty, uo abler champion of hu- man rights, no better friend to the oppressed.

A nation that cannot protect the lives and property of its own citizens stultifies itself before the world in boasting of its intentions and ability to establish and main- tain good government for others. Where the Roman Catholic religion predominates in the Uni- ted States, there you will find the bigest state of modern civilization and the least frictiun between the races. The Protestant religion largely predominates at the South. OTL TR PEED LATER JONNS RETES, PARTY SUCCESS ABOVE PERSONAL E AMBIT.ON y all as the regular and only republi- iit cal District of Virginia.
