The Difference.

The GRANTEES dote on Gerrit Smith as
though he were strawberry shortcake
whitemed with n whole shower of powdered
sugar. None of them cares to remember
that he signed JEFF Davis bail-bond. O no.
1t is only Mr.. Greeley's signature that was
wicked = Golden Age.
The difference between Greeley and Hon.
Gerrit Smith seems to be that Greeley bailed
for political capital, and Mr.. Smith as an act
of mercy. Mr.. Greeley attempts to exalt
jeff. Davis by universal amnesty, and to
curry favor with his sympathizers by denounc-
ing Northern men, who have moved South, as
thieves, &c. Hon. Gerrt Smith stands by the
party that has made the largest progress in
making free country of the United States,
while Horace Greeley is eating dirt and de-
nouncing true men to gain the votes OF that
party which he has heretofore denouDeed as
receiving its chief support from the low grog
geries and brothels of our large cities, a party
whose history is that of outrage upon the
rights and liberties of five millions of the
population of the country.

Concert mt Summer school
Building.

At very early hour on Monday evening
the friends were vending their way TO the
Sumner School to be entertained by the chill
dren of Western School District. The hall
connected with this building has been beau
tifully and tastefuly finished, aud the Board
of Trustees should feel proud of so beautiful
building, and the name it bears should en-
dear it TO the hearts of all the people. He,
whose name the building bears, has fought
long and well, and is still contending for the
rights of our people, and no more appropriate
name could have been selected. This building
will be fitting memorial for our dearest
friend and noblest statesman Charles Sum
ner. And we also honor the Board of Trus-
tees of last year for selecting the name.
Long before the exercises began the hall
was crowded to overlooking. There was not
standing room. The exercises consisted of
solos, DUETS, Quartettes, chorrlses, and dec
lamatons.
The exercises were conducted by Mrs.
James Wormey, who has had charge of the
music in this District during the school year.
The children have made Il deal of progress
under her instruction, which was proven by
the entertainment. Miss G.. |. Fleet pre-
sided at the piano. Notwithstanding the
dense crowd, and the confusion attending it
at times, the entertainment was well appre-
ciated, and will be remembered by all who
were present.

Civil Rights.

The bill introduced by Hon. Lewis IL.
Douglass, in the Legislative Council of the
District of Columbia, having passed the House
of Delegates and having been approved by
His Excellency Gov. Henry d. Cooke will,
in accordance with the organic act, be in force
in thirty days from the date of its approval,
which will be the Goth of July proximo.
This bill provides that keepers of restaurants,
ice cream saloons, or soda fountains shall
place in a conspicuous place the price list OF
the articles they have for sale. This provi-
sion is made in order that those who think to
deter colored people from applying for re-
freshments by exhorbtant charges after they
have been served, may be prevented from so
overcharging. Any refusal to wait upon any
well-behaved and respectable person is met
by fine of one hundred dollars and for
fixture of license for one year.
We have been informed that on Sunday
last several apothecaries took especial pains
to insult colored ladies and gentlemen apply
ing for soda water. In one instance couple
of colored ladies were driven out of store
amid the jeers and insulting remarks of white
gentlemen CD who undoubtedly imagined
that they were enacting manly part. One
apOthecary informed cOlored gentleman
that after the Goth of July he should place at
his fountain black glasses for colored people,
and white glasses for white people, thus show
ing his sole object to be to insult colored
people in obedience to his diabolical spirit of
hate and prejudice.
Has not the time arrived when these fool
ish preiudices born of oppression should cease
to control in government where all classes
participate in governing, where the black
legislator side by side with the white legis-
lator assists in watching and guarding the
interests of the community.
Have we not the right to expect of a class
of people Boosting intelligence, culture, and
refinement freedom from a prejudice against
a man because of his color, to the extent of
denying him decent treatment? Can the
white people Of this community with all their
intelligence, give good reason why gentle
men and ladies, though black, are not en-
titled to the treatment that decency and re-
spectabity should receive? We now have a
law to protect cOlored people from insult, and
we trust that it will be strictly enforced.

40 One Deceived.

1--WE have turned our backs on the past
wc stand in the present and look to the flu
ture The past is lost TO us--the future is
ours let us make it glorious one"
This is the cry of Thomas Hendricks, of
Indiana, copperhead who refused to vote
supplies for our army during the rebellion and
used his influence as a Senator against the
success of the Union arms, who declared that
he would suffer his right arm to be ampu-
tated before negroes should vote in his State
with his consent. Does anybody sincerely
believe that Mr.. Hendricks and his Demo-
cratic followers have turned their backs upon
the past in the sense that they have become
convinced that that past was full of evil:
We think no sane person will contend that
Thomas Hendricks regrets the days of slavery
with its fugitive slave law, freedom of speech
stricken down, black men with no rights that
white men were bound to respect, ETC., while
the main plank in the platform supported by
Hendricks and the Greeley Democracy de-
nounces laws for the protection of citizens
against the barbarilies growing out of the
teachings Of the past to which Mr.. Hendricks
belonged. Mr.. Hendricks party in the
South--the Ku-Klux Klans-have also turned
their backs upon the past, but only at the
earnest solicitation of Gen. Grant to do so or
take up their residences at Albany. Mr..
Hendricks cries out that he has turned his
back with intent to deceive men into voting
for him, but as with the Ku-Klux the most
cfiectual way to keep Hendricks back turned
is to continue Gen. Grant in power.
The people cannot trust a party that simply
" turns its back" for the sake of obtaining
office. Why did not this back turning take
place in Congress, when the Democratic
party had an opportunity of proving that it
accepted those principles antagonistic to
their old professions in favor of slavery, prin-
ciples which recognize the equality before
the law of all citizens of the United States
Instead Mr.. Hendricks followers voted con-
stantly to deny equality Of rights to Ameri-
can citizens, voted to Il man against defend
ing the purity of the ballot. And now find
ing that the sentiment of the country Is
against them they pretend to have turned
their backs upon the past as though they
were ashamed Of and sorry for it. But the
people are not So easily deceived.

North Carolina.

The Gubernatorial election will be held in
this State in August next, and already the
campaign is getting lively. In Statesville,
in that State, Greelyites and Regular Repaid
licans met upon the same platform to discuss
the merits of their positions; we see by the
Statesville american that Ex-Governor Vance
took the stand in favor of the Greeley ticket,
and, after indulsing in false charges of cor
ruption against the Republican party, he gave
way aud Colonel Dockery replied to the har-
angue, sustaining himself with documentary
evidence as to the falsity of the accusations
of Vance. Mr.. Dockery's speech won the
applause and commentator OF large ma
jority of those present.

Vaccinations Of the JeSuits.

Recent advices from Germany inform us
that the Imperial Government is contemplate
ing the expulsion of the Jesuits, natives as
well as foreigners. This is highly important
naws. The conservative tendencies of Bis
marck are we'll known, and have been abund-
antly demonstrated in his sOlicitude to be on
good terms with the rcactionary elements,
and his leniency in respect to the assumptions
of the clergy as well as in his hostility to any
movement in the opposite direction. His
present course, therefore, is dictated by stern
necessity, imperiously demanded for the secu-
rity and peace Of the Empire, since he has to
find his allies in ranks formerly hostile, and
to encounter the bitter enmity of many of his
old supporters. For the present the Diet
has resolved to refer all of the numerous
petitions for lthe expulsion of the Jesuits to
the Chancellor, with directions, first, to pro-

THE Sunday Morning Chronicle, in an arti-
Gle on the closing days of the District Legis-
lature, takes occasion to speak as follows:
While all have done well, our space will
permit the mention of only few very con-
spicuous members, whose labors and talents
deserve the especial iavors of our people.
No one watched closer the legislation of the
House OF Delegates than +. A Boswell, of
the Seventeenth District Peter Campbell,
OF the Fourteenth District: Henry Piper, of
the Ninth District, and William Il. Hunt, of
the Eighteenth District. These gentlemen,
we say, merit their popularity in their several
legislative districts, and are held in high
esteem by the people at large. And among
the members of the upper branch whose
watchiulness and deep concern in their legis-
lation for the people of the District the names
of Messrs. Browne, Hall, Douglass, and Gray
stand particularly prominent, and will always
be remembered as among the men who never
failed to stand firm in the right, and in virtu-
GUS opposition to wrong. Fama semper rirat.

which the past lives Of those friends heap
upon their present political course.
Mr.. Clay tells the negroes of Kentucky:
:" Go for Greeley, amnesty, equal rights to
ALL" The answer is, that in going for Grant,
we do 60 for amnesty and the equal rights
of all;" and what is still more important,
we know full well that in getting Grant and
Wilson, we shall get precisely what we "go
for" We know the men and we know the
party behind them, and that there is square
honesty and consistency in both. In the
other direction there is no certainty. The
white heap we see in that political tub may
be wholesome food, but we have reason to fear
asnake-eyed cat. Mr.. Clay mwittingly admits,
in order to scare the negroes into voting for
Greeley and Brown, that, should these can
didates be elected without our votes, We
shall be in the hands Of the Philistines."
Thus we have it, that devotion to the equal
rights of all" means only equal rights to all
who vote for Greeley and Brown. This is
either bad logic or bad faith, and for the
credit of Messrs. Greeley and Brown we hope
it is the former. In any case, the letter of
Mr.. Clay proves him to be but poorly quail
flied to enlighten negroes OF. Kentucky upon
the issues of the present campaign, or to de-
fend the Cincinnati side of those issues.
We call upon the colored people of Ken
lucky, while they honor Cassius M. Clay for
the good he has done in the past, to stand
by the men and the party which are true and
faithful to their cause to-day, and to remem-
Der that Grant is to-day hated and opposed
black man i'm the power of his old master.

California.

Mr.. NOrdhoh', of the New York Evening
Post, is furnishing a series of articles for
Hayper's Monthly on California, its Products,
and Productiveness." In the number for
July, Mr.. Nordhoif gives a very valuable and
exceedingly interesting statement of the
great undevelOped wealth Of that State in
agricultural resources. The idea that has
obtained of the mndesirability of California
as a home, and the kindred idea that il is
only fitting resort for adventures who may
obtain wealth from gold hunting and then
return to civilization to enjoy it, are thor
tughly exploded by the evidences of wealth
produced by agriculture made apparent to
Mr.. Nordhof.
The delightful climate of Southern Calfor-
MIA is not eXcelled by that Of Italy, while the
products of Italy and of the tropics grow and
flourish there and promise to be source of
great wealth for. years to come. All the
fruits and vegetables of the United States
grow there with a larger, and consequently
more profitable, yield than is true of any
other portion of the country. Land, belong
ing to the Government and to the railroads,
is very cheap. Irrigation has to be resorted
to, but the yield of products so largely over
balances the expense of this that 1t is scarcely
felt.
Now here we have a climate well adapted
to colOred people, with land dirt cheap. We
cannot refrain from urging our colored farm
ers in the South to take advantage of the
cheapness of land in the West and South
west and emigrate thither and commence
the building Of that fortune which awaits
