Of ME-. Stanton.
To THE EDITOR OF THE STAR:-By whose
authority was ii that the affectionate and ad-
miring tribute of the colored people of the ma
ton, through the National Executive Commit
tee, was denied all mention in the morning
papers among the oficial bodies attending the
funeral obseQuies Of the late E. NJ. Stanton.
The National Executive Committee of cOlored
men met, and, after passing appropriate resolu-
tons, appointed committee to wait on Gen.
Townsend, who readily assigned the committee
aplace IN the cortege. The president OF the conf
mittee spoke yesterday to the officer in charge of
the procession and learned that the National
Executive Committee Of colored men had been
assigned place next to the civic authorities OF
took and attended the funeral. Is it not outra-
geous that delegates of the Union League should
be mentioned as attending to show their appre
citation Of this great and good mans services,
ana tnat In reference to cOlored peoples admi-
ration of the great abilities and greater services
to our race of the deceased, and our sorrow for
his loss as q probable breakwater i'm the Su-
s. GG9 9 with the Of greater ser
studious concealment by either the reporters or
the editors Of the morning papers? 1t may be
simply an oversight, in which case we await an
explanation.
Ii it is not an oversight, we wish to state that
1t is useless for petty spite or a silly sense of
depreciation Of us, or both combined, to seek to
exclude us in all mention in national affairs.
These men who try it will soon find that preju-
dices brought over from slavery are out Of joint
with the times, and, what will be more potent
argument to them, injurious to their own inter-
ests. If they deny the nation the information
the people ought to have, as i'm this case, that
the cOlored man knows his friend, loves him
while he lives and laments him when he dies,
and hOnors his memory i'm the same way that
other men honor, they will be the sufferers as
unfaithful recorders.
