The Improvement Loan.

Before another issue of the New NATIONAL ERA
appears the people of the District of Columbia
will have taken their stand either for or against
the measure for improving and identifying the
District occupied as the capital of one of the
greatest nations on earth Those who feel THAT
we have lived long enough after the manner
and style of the age of oppression and slavery !;
those who desire to have the old landmarks
footprints Of tyranny-blotted out, the emb lem
of time when skilled and educated labor was
intolerable, and when the best energies of the
so-called best people here were bent to the
work of riveting closer the letters of slavefy
and ignorance, not only upon the black race,
but upon all poor men, white or black, and all
such as would see the property of the District
appreciate in value, and enterprise take the
place Of slothfulness, will vote for the four
million loan on the 22d of this month. The
opposition to the loan has emanated mainly
from class who belong to the olden time,
who were content to live in darkness, and who
imagine that the downfall of slavery and the
incoming Of freedom is the doom of the world.
to whom the enterprise and.spirit of those that
liberty has drawn to the District of Columbia
is bewildering and past all understanding-sn
enterprise akin to that which has covered the
vast prairies of Illinois and the West with
beautiful towns, cities, and villages, to the
awful establishment and wonder of the con-
tented and non-enterprising savages who occu
pied the land.
We trust that every coored voter in the
District Of Columbia will show an appreciation
of the new order of things by voting the means
Of eradcating the stains and botches left to
remind us Of the old and detested DAYS of
slavery and general lack of enterprise.

million Of men now employed in them thrown out
of work, the interests of the workingmen would
be crashed with it, and that no combination OF
trades unions could keep up wages, however nu-
merous their members or proscriptive their laws.
The Republican party bgencouraging American
industry in preference to foreign, have averted
this great calamity to the labor of the nation,
and We have right, therefore, to claim that
that party has done more to promote the true
interests of the workingmen Of our country in
the last eight years than trades unions can ac-
complish through an eternity of time.

she will accept this offer. We know she is
doing noble work whore she is but still We
are selfish enough to believe that the work to be
done here is no less important Let Howard
University procure so valuable an acquisition
to its present force, if salary is an object.

-Four ladies of Galesburg. H., who were
out collecting for the Chicago relief fund, came
upon a venerable copperhead who said their
whole story was an abolition lie, but finally
remarked that he had a patch of potatoes, and
.if they were a mind to dig them, they could
have oil they wanted" Not at all daunted, tho
ladies got some shovels, dug twenty bushels
that afternoon. and came back next day and
finished the patch, to the old mans intense
disgust.

MS crusade against protection to American

poorer now than they were in 1860 But some
one, who prefers fact to assertion, upsets his
hne-spun argument by showing that from 1860

AN ADVENTURE IN SONORA Three adVen turers named Johnson, Fay, and Walsh, some nine months since concluded to return to the States, from Arizona, and started for Guaymas, Sonora, to take the steamer thence to San Francisco. They had, altogether, perhaps, fifteen hundred or two thous and dollars, which, upon their arrival at Magdalena, it would appear, they made no effort to conceal. There is always to be found in every frontier town a class of rulians whose only busi- ness it is to prey upon society by high-hande acts of violence or bloodshed, and by such as these were the trio dOgged through Maga alena during their stay. About the first of August, last year, they left that town together, on their way to Guaymas, and had proceeded some twelve miles when they attacked by band of Mexican bandits, attred after the fashion of Apaches, who fired upon them from thicket, killing Walsh al. most instantly. Fay and Johnson returned the fire, when the bandits fed. Placing their dead companion in the shade of a tree they rode back to town to procure the necesaries for his proper burial and to apprize the authorities of what had occurred {; but no sooner had they communicated the intelligence than they were arrested, charged with the murder of their comrade, and conducted to he jail. There for couple of months they re- mained in close confinement subjected to hunger, filth, and even denied, at times, sufficient quan- titles of water for drinking purposes. The Amer
 can consul at Guaymas, Mir. 4, Willard, and oth- CT foreigners, learning of tbeir condition, inter- ested themselves in their behalf and procured their release from jail, but on the condition that they should remain in the town to await trlal or exam- ination. The months flew past and still no trial was granted them, and there they remained-
 prisoners-pay ying their expenses out of their own pockets. Ag ain, the consul, after much delay and difficulty succeeded in swaying the authorities in the direction of justice, and they were permitted to dspart-arriving here last week-the released victims of an outrage of seven months duration. Of course no effort was put forth to search out or bring to ustice the actual murderersy they were Mexicars while the murdered man was but for eigner indeed, that officer of the law who would dare to exercise his duties in such case would be liable, at any time, to have his throat cut hy the same swardly assasanT. Such is the condition 1 of Sonora-with an excellent Constitution and i good laws, but lacking the prestige to have the one respected or the other obeyed.

FRIrYDs Nor IN DEMAND :-The Pima sayages recently received visit from fuIl-blown Friend. The gentleman who, by the way. is represented as very supeFior9cass of man, halls from Chica . go, and is cuiinagiIy named Cook. We'll, from our personal, knowledge regarding the peculiarities of the said tribe we are able to testify to their high regard for friends, while recent developments show that they have no confidence in "Friends."
 MT. Cook. had perfected all his arrang ements tO take the grand ;nitiatory 8 scheme of Christian izsticn, about weeks ago, and manfully launoh- ed cut, an adventurer on the sea of philanthropy. The eventfuI day-that upon which the band of juvenile heaShens were to assemble at school dawned upon the ancient domes of Casa Blanca i; and no sooner had Aurora's hen-pecked Iord pop ped his head out of his oriental chamber than the human tide poured out from thousand wigwams. Friend Cook was rejOiced: 8 few hours hence and this swarm of idle, naked little Indians would bs imbibing Caucasian wisdom and studying Cauca sian lore, around his knees. The minutes flew past as only time fly, until the eventful moment arrived. Mir. Cook gazed from the school-house door, over the scene. Innumerable little Indians with bows and arrows "seooted" portiveIy over the landscape, their gaudy "shOO>Hies" dutter ng in the morning breeze. The hours wore away. MT. Cook was disgusted; net single, solitary pupil sought the gate. The Chief was interviewed in the afternoon, and, being wise ruler, ond a good legislator for his people, very properly inquired of Mir Cook, how much the government intended to pay his people for attending school? He did not propose that the boys and girls of his tribe should attend school gratuitously. No If such favor be conferred on MT. Cook, or any other man, it must be purchased by hard cash :; so if he would have scholars to occupy his time he must getready with his funds to pay for such accommO
 dation. And the matter stands at present.
