TO THE
D Col ored People.
WASHINGTON, D. G., July 3o.-The
following correspondence has taken
place between Charles Sumner and
colored citizens of the United States ::
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
July IL. 1872,

SIR: We, the undersigned, citizens
Of color, regarding you as the purest
and best friend Of our race, admiring
your consistent course in the United
States, Senate and, elsewhere as the
special advocate of our rights, and
believing that your counsel at this
critical juncture in the period OF our
citizenship would be free from person
al feeling and partisan prejudice, have
ventured to request your opinion as
to what action the colored voters Of
the nation should take in the Presi,
Dental contest now pending. The
choice Of our people is now narrowed
down to General Grant or Horace
Greeley. Your long acquaintance
with both, and your observation, have
enabled you to arrive at correct
conclusion as to which of the candi--
dates, Judging from their antecedents
as well as their present position, will,
if elected, enforce the requirements
of the Constitution and the laws re-
specting our civil and political rights
with the most heartfelt sympathy and
the greatest vigor. We hope and
trust you will favor US with such re-
ply as will serve to enighten our
minds upon this subject, and impel
our people to go forward in the right
direction. Our confidence in your
Judgment is so firm, that in our opin-
ions thousands of the intelligent col
ored voters of the country will be
guided in their action by your state
ment and advice.
Hoping to receive reply soon, we
have the honor to be, with great re-
spect, your obedientservants (Signed)

Not oft contentment bri

Senator Doolittle, in his great speech
in North Carolina, gave, says the Au-
gusta ConstitutiondliSt, sound and whole
some advice to the colored portion OF his
audience, when he told them 1t would De
wiser to divide their vose between the
two great contending parties than to
listen to the factious voice of bad men,
who aim to keep up q perpetual ieud be-
tween the races, and who urge them to
vote solid against what they term the
white mans party" He truly argued
that thus both parties would be interest
ed in preserving their risht, to the suf-
frase. This Is one view, and an impor-
tant view, for the consideration Of color
ed voters. But the great. and oyetshsd-
owing argument in its favor. is that in
this way feuds, prejudices and iang4rou
contentious between the races wIti be
rendered impossible, and harnois7, kind
feeling and community Of interest, aud
hopes among all classes, and without dis
tinctions' of race, will be cultivated.

s. Wulf, of the firm of +. Miller & Co. of
this city, from Messrs. Lewis & Co. commits
sion merchants at Kelton, u. T., aud which
we arc kindly permitted to peruse, we learn
that the Central Pacific Railroad Company
has changed the freight tariff, and after Janu-

goods as benzine, oil, burning fluid, carriages
and buggies, door and window frames, dry
goods in bales domestic, blankets, carpets,
canvas duck. eggs, fireworks, mirrors, plates,
liquors,-in glass, stone or stationery,
turpentine, household furniture, kerosene, and
machinery; raising the tariff on such goods
from Il to 81 cents per pound from San Fran
cisco to Kelton, and goods taken ut risk of the
shipper. This is worse piece of robbery
than was ever practiced by the old o. s. N. Co.

EXIT CoLYER.-The Arizona Miner. in re-
ferring to the condition of affairs int hat Indian
country, says: 1--WE have good and sufficient
reasons for believing Vincent Colyer to be a
thief and coward, and we are quite certain
that he is liar, demagogue and dangerous
man." The people of Arizona have good reas-
on now to congratulate themselves over the

tration as to the true state of affairs in that
section of our country, but the Wickenburg
massacre gave the lie to all his statements, and
the probability is that General Crook will no
longer be hampered in his policy of protecting
the whites 10 that section, even if in so doing
he should find it necessary to exterminate
Catchis and his whole band of cut-throats. Col
yer, forseeing this change of policy on the part
of the Administration, has resigned his office
on the Peace Commission, and an active cam
paign will doubtless be inaugurated by General
Crook, at an early day. On December 9th
last, a general order-No. 35-was issued from
the Headquarters of the Department of Ari
zona, at Prescott, requiring all rowing bands of
Apache Indians to go upon their reservations
on or before February 18th, 1872; and all
Apaches found outside of their reservations
after that date will BIO considered and treated
Us hostile. The contents Of the order were
ordered to be communicated without delay,
and by every available means to the Indians
interested, and unless they come in and go upon
reservations, as required. General Crook will
commence making good Indians" of them.

TERRITORIAL AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON

TERRITORIAL AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON
The Delegates in Congress from the various
Territories, appear to have adopted wise pol.
icy by working in harmony with each other.
They consult together and assist each other in
presenting before Congress and the various
Departments, such matters as affect the inter.
ests Of their respective constituents; and no
feeling of jealousy or envy interferes to prevent
their cooperating with each other in the en-
deavor to procure what each considers neces.
sary or for the best interests of his Territory.
Late dispatches inform us that the Delegates,
in body, waited on the President. about ten
days ago, and made a request that, hereafter,
selections for Territorial officers be made
dent stated in reply that he had for long time
been of the opinion that most, if not all, of the
Territorial officers should be chosen from the
citizens of the Territories, and that he had
recommended to the Civil Service Commission
that they incorporate provision in the regu-
lations to that effect, except in the appoint
ment of Judges, Indian Superintendent and
Agents. We give Mr.. Grant credit for his
action in the matter to the extent that he has
gone, but don't think he goes quite far enough.
We believe the bar of this Territory will com.
pare favorably with that of any ether; and that
among the members can BE- found many of high
order of legal talent, who are in every way
worthy and well qualified to discharge the du-
ties of Judges of our courts; and as to Super
intendents OF Indian affairs and Indian Agents,
we know of none who are 50 well qualified for
such positions as men who have spent the best
years of their life on the frontier. However,
We are thankful for fayors, however small; aud
we are glad to see this change of disposition on
the part of the Administration in reference 10
appointments for the Territories. The Repub-
lican party of Idaho possesses ample material
out of which to select honest and capable men
for all Territorial positions under Federal np-
pOintme9t; and the people, Democratic as well
as Republican. will be gratifed, should Mr..
Grant, in the future. appoint rs officers in our
midst, men who are known to u.s. and whose
interests are identified with the Territory. We
have had some imported specimens of the
genus carpet-bagger, who considered the peo-
pie of the Territory legitimate subjects of
public plumber, and others who, in their ar
rogant ASSUMPTION of authority, believed that the
people possessed no rights that they were bound
TO respect. But there have been 4 few excep.
tional cases where the newcomers have shown
no desire to NEEDLE in affairs that didn't con.
Germ them, anu have cultivated feelings of
friendship instead Of enmity. That class we
welcome to our Territory, as they have pro-
posed to become permanent residents, especial
ly when they are not disposed to improve on
our civilization a la Moul.on aud Stout.
