~Is itnot extraordinary that a

pose at which a coterie of gentle
men are to speak and none others
and then not to talk except in a
particular direction,a meeting whose
resolutions are written in advance

thing is cut and dried should be
called a meeting Of the people :?

of the component part of that stream
which daily flows by our doors. No
such dictum as comes for instance
from an association of defeated

the Legislature. Mich less should
any public official heed the rawlings

1T WILL FAIL.

The Committee of Fifty One are
now catching hail from the Fag and
from the Times who were its creators.
When the parent find fault with its
own offspring, outsiders and third
parties can criticise with justice.
We hear that this committee have
settled upon Mr.. Randolph for
Governor and, indeed have already
elected him. This body of men who
were selected to ascertain the
roguery of the city government and
who could not find it, then exceed
their jurisdiction and Ego for" the
State, because the Legislature will
not pass the bills they propose,
when it is a notorious fact, the As
sembly has never seen the bills.
They wanted a pretext. They looked
for an excuse to rouse a popu-
lar indignation and get up q
vehement outcry. Not shaving one,
they invented it and threw
upon Governor Warmoth and
the Legislature the burden of caus-
ing all the suffering of the people.
They wanted to go to work and call
a convention right off and knowing
they cannot as Democrats, they lure
into the fold such men as Burch
who carries favor with the enemies
of bis race, who slaughtered them
in 1868 and who would do it again
if they had a chance. The plan
will fail signally, totally fail.

the Legislature would have done
itself credit. and the party no harm.
had llr. Jenkins. been elected to
the Office he sought.
It is true that men sometimes
arise among us who gain much no
toriety by haunting the Offices Of
editors and of politicians, and oil
Boosting of their influence among
colored men, then seeking to be ap-
pointed to Office on the strength Of
this assumed popularity, who are
in no wise representative men. Our
community has been somewhat de-
moralized, and its political infu-
ences injured by the presence of one
or two such men. Further, when
the people refuse to second the de-
mand of these interlopers for Office,
politicians jump to the conclusion
that we are too divided to stand
unitedly by any man as our repre-
sentative. They further conclude
that colored applicants for Office can
be treated with contempt, without
arousing our resentment. In both
of these things they are mistaken.
There are principles and there are
men around which the mass of the
colored men of the State will readi-
ly unite, and David Jenkins is one
of the men, and that color should
be no bar to Office is one of the
principles. Had he been elected to
fill the Office for which he applied,
every colored man in the State
would have felt complimented; in
the shame of his reje ,tion we all
share. 1 am quite sure that no Of
ficer in either house, the Lieutenant
Governor excepted, is the represent
tative of more votes than Mr.. Jen-
kins.
Concluding, I hope he may live
ill his color shall be no bar to Off
,ial promotion, and that he may sit
as q member of that body upon
whose proceedings he has so long

H6r What has become O.

p@r What has become of the

vice presidents to make a Legis-

Detiege, B. F. Joubert, G. B. Love,

Republican party will doubtless
cherish some anxiety to know what
amount of countenance and support
such well known gentlemen pro-
pose to give to this new tangled
concern, or whether these names
werenot unauthorizedly made use of,
to give some color to their proceed
ings. We have been told that Burch's
presence was an accident and that
there was no intention to trot him
out, but the irrepressible couldn't
be decently kept from participa-
ting. Now what is the use of
calling it a peoples party" when
the whole concern is Fogy Demo-
cracy and Aristocarcy who have
long ago bid a long farewell to all
their greatness.

%The Picaylne is in a lucid
vein. 1t wrote nearly a column
yesterday in vindication of it's "com-
ments upon MIR. Pinchback." But
both text and commentary are
wrong. Mr.. Pinchback does not
and never did counsel or agitate
any animosity between whites and
blacks. His aims are universally
known to be to conciliate the races
and promote harmony and mutual
good understandings among all
classes. The prospectus of our
paper safely indicates his position
in relation to this matter:
DESTROYS of allaying animosities,
of celebrating the memory of the
bitter psst, of promoting harmony
and union among all classes and
between all interests, we shall ad-
vocate the removal of all political
disabilities, foster kindness and for
bearance. where malignity and re-
sentiment reigned, and seek for fair
ness and justice where wrong and
oppression prevailed. Thus united
in our aims and objects, we shall
conserve our best interests. elevate

position among her sister States, by
the development of her illimitable
resources, and secure the full bene-
fits of the mighty changes in the

REPUBLICAN INDIsCRETION.

We publish elsewhere the pro-
ceedings Of Republican meeting
in Augusta, Georgia, protesting
against the conduct of the Repubi-
can State Central Committee of that
State in usurping the rights of the
Republicans to elect the delegates
to the Presidential Nominating Con-
vention, to meet in i Philadelphia
next June. We also copy the stric-
lures of Harper's Weekly on this
subject, and commend them to con-
sideration. It is to be lamented
that there is a growing disposition
on the part of party leaders to form
assemblies and conventions Just
after their model, and in order to
accomplish this task they do not
scruple to invade the sacred rights
of the people.
The instance under review is an
other illustration of interested and
Incorporate zeal of partizans, who
in their anxiety to be credited with
he championship of President
Grant, adopt such means as are
calculated to rouse suspicion of their
own faith in the popularity and
claims of President Grant for re-
nomination. And this has been
the kind of serious blunders which
have been committed by Federal
officials and those indiscreet poll
ticians who to manufacture capital
for themselves assume to control
opinion. For our part we can see
no cause whatever for the prema-
ture and feverish anxiety which is
being displayed in Georgia and else
where. The great Republican party |
Of the country is indicating by
unmistakable signs it's confidence
in President Grant and every
where, in every respectable repub-
lean paper do we find tho Journal
SITS pointing with pride AND salts
action to the wisdom, the integrity
ind the economy of his administra-
ion. tits true that there are opposers
II some weight and influence, but
hey amount to very little when
ompared with the great bulk of the
republican party who seem to be
egarding the Presidents renomina-
ion and election foregone con-
fusion. Among one of the first ,
apers to express our choice of ,
resident Grant for a second term,
e have never failed to watch with 8
lterest every attitude which has. I
cen assumed by himself, by his adj +
lirers and his foes. We have an
oiding faith that nothing but the .
ravest overt acts on the part OF the .
ational administration and its p
lends can effect the defeat of the .
