Greeley 0nsCOchrane.

Seen. Cochrane has taken his stand in
fact, whatever he mag profess, with those
who to-day refuse to GOlored Americans the
right of suffrage, whether in the North or in
the South, and will soon deny them the right
of education, the freedom Of the press, and
Gf they darcy the right to sue and testify in
courts of justice. Let him say what he will,
the triumph of the party to which he has
apostatized is the triumph of oppression, the
Acknowledgement of race, the branding of
our fathers as knaves or idiots in proclaiming
that all men have ALI inalienable right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, ,
and that governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed Hell
from beneath is stirred to demOniac Joy by
the spectacle of such treachery, and every
traitOrOus ruffan who, in the dark dens of
this emporium, gleefully drank health and
success to jeff. Davis, while Lees guns were
laundering at Gettysburg, or, few days
later, fired draft offices and devastated Or
phan asylums in aid of The rebellion, will now
rapturously hail Gen. Cochrane as cOmpa-
triot and a brother"
This is tho opinion Of Horace Greeley of
Gen. Cochrane in 1865. To-day Gen. Coch-
rane is Chairman of a Greeley Committee,
and Horace Greeley, IKE Gen. Cochrane in
1865 whatever he may profess" has taken
his stand with or for tn, benefit of those who
to-day refuse colored Americans the right of
suffrage wherever the protecting arm of Gen.
Grant is not present. Horace Greeley can
well apply his structure, of Cochrane to HIM

President Mania.

The New York Tribute (Greeley's paper)
of Tuesday makes an attack on the Republic
can members of the Senate of the United
States generally, and upon Senator Chandler
particularly While the Senator by his stead
fastness to the Republican principles and his
favoring the recollection of General Grant is
now obnoxious to Horace Greeley and the
Tribune, it is still within the memory of man
when Horace Greeley and the Tribune urged
the State of Michigan to return Mr.. Chandler
to the Senate, and also published editorials
favoring the reelection Of General Grant,
giving substantially as reason in both cases
that it would be national calamity not to so
re-elect these gentlemen. A devouring mad
ness for the Presidency has driven all con-
sistency out of Horace Greeley and the New
York Tribune.

An Error.


The last census shows that the total num-
Der of colOred people iu the United States is
S4,S79 JOY. Gentlemen who are just now
figuring up the political chances and proba-
bilities would do well To remember that the
cOlOred people are the dominant race in the
States of South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana, while they Ere quite close to the
whites in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia.
That they will secede from the Republican
party if Mr.. Greeley }hould be nominated,
is utterly out of the question, so that those
States may be counted sure for Grant and
Wilson in November.
The above is from the Washington Daily
Republican i; but, by mishap, sign for a
dollar is placed alongside the figures denot-
ing the population of oolored people. The
day has passed when colored people in this
country can be counted as dollars and cents.
and it is one of the results of the success of
our armies under the present candidate for
the Presidency, Genera, Grant, and the la
bors of the Hon. Henry Wilson in the Senate
of the United States ane elsewhere in behalf
of liberty. For the cOlored people, who have
received such an incstFnable restoration as
their freedom by the services Of such men as
Grant and Wilson, to vote for Horace Gree
ley, whowould, by indirection, undo all the
glorious achievements OF the past ten years,
is for Them to be untrue to themselves and
postsfity in degree eqFal to suicide.

CounoII Bill No. 3

Being bill to punish prescription in res
taurants, &C., passed the Legislative Council
on Tuesday. This bill was introduced by
Lewis II. Douglass, member from the First
District, and was ably supported by A. X.
Browne of the Eighth District. The President
of the Council, Mr.. VIM. Stckney, gave it
his support as matter of simple justice.
The bill received seven votes in the affirma-
tive, and four in the negative. Those who
voted for the bill were Messrs. Browne,
Douglass, Eaton, Gray, Hall, Smith, and the
President. Those who voted against putting
down the prescription Of respectable people
in this District were Messrs. Cross, Gulick,
Riley, and Thompson. We trust that the
House of Delegates will take up the bill
promptly and pass it. Most of the members
of the House owe their election to colored
votes, and it is not expecting too much of
them to see to it that .their constituents are
provided with the means of protecting them
selves against insultins, prescription. For it
is notorious fact that in the District of
Columbia, respectable colored ladies and
gentlemen are liable to insult upon entering
ice cream saloons, restaurants, or drug stores
for soda water. Let us have Council Bill
No. a law, and shun.. the disgrace upon the
District of tolerating a:system of caste.

The Philadelphia Convention,

To have renominated General Grant. and
to have that denomination received with the
unbounded enthusiasm that was true of the
convention and of the tens Of thousand v;s;.
tors in Philadelphia, was indeed grand. Rut
the evidence of the progress of the country
towards the complete recognition of the RIGHT
Of all citizens without distinction of race or
color to participate in the deliberations of a
party that not only now controls the nation.
but will continue to do so for some time to
come, was far more grand.
For the first time in the history of this
great nation, have colored men so fully par
ticipated in the deliberations of a convention
of the grandest political organization in this,
or any other country. At Philadelphia we
had colored men presiding over State delega-
tons and spokesman for them, colored men
invited to make speeches, and they did speak
and speak well, receiving their full share of
the applause Of the thousands assembled.
They showed the appreciation of the colored
people of the country for the services of Presi-
dent Grant, and their confidence in him,
knowing that the election of no other man
