The GoIOre<l Citizen.

This is the name of creditably edited and
printed journal in Washington, the first num-
Der ofwhich appeared Saturday evening. The
Colored Citizen is edited by Messrs. J. p.
Sampson and p. II. Murray. We publish
with pleasure the prospectus of the Citizen,
and tender our. best wishes for its success.
PROSPECTUS.
This journal shall place itself in distinct
sympathy with the social and industrial needs
of the coiored people. The title, Colored
Citizen, is a designation and not distinction.
Popular acceptance restricts it to that class
Of Americans who are still laboring under
civil disadvantages. While nothing that con-
Germs mankind shall be foreign to our sympa-
thies, "yet charity begins at home" and we
select our field where the harvest is ripest.
This journal shall encourage the literary
and scientific talents of the colored American
youth and extend a kindred hand wherever it
can see intellectual or moral worth Overcom-
ing previous restrictions, and under the i'm
petus of n newly enfranchiscd manhood, ris-
ing to the higher levels of life.
1t shall advocate labor reform, both in the
better adjustment Of the relations between
capital and labor, and that the colored citi-
zen shall have fair chance in the mechani-
cal industry of the country.
1t shall urge that the nation continue under
the guidance of the Republican party, until in
public sentiment as well as in law, all dis
tnctions against us are oblterated and the
whole nation stand upon the highest table
land of political truth.
1t shall raise an iron hand against corrup-
ton, welcome the temperance reform, and
watch anXiously every movement to develop
the people.
With the ascendency of the Republican
party, and equal civil and industrial privi-
leges floating at our masthead, we lift
anchor.
Our canvass, swollen with the favoring
gales of heaven, and cheered on by the "God
speed" OF the genuine, may we not career
prosperously wherever we follow in the wake
of progress and reform?
Our plans for publishing this paper are not
fully matured. Very soon the paper will be
enlarged and each succeeding number will ap-
pear with the latest telegraphic dispatches.

The Republicans of other States need
not be alarmed for Pennsylvania. The State
is sure for portion of the Republican ticket
in October by many thousand majority, and
whatever may be the result of that prelim-
nary contest Grant and Wilson will beat
Greeley and Brown in November. Upon the
National ticket there is no difference of
opinion in the Republican ranks. The only
men who promise that they will vote for
Greeley are the imitators of Tweed and Con-
molly, who will be stripped of all power after
October.

edge. Pilot Thompson, OF the steamer
Lums len lying a few mile below, on
seeing the light from the burning
wreck manned yawl with men and
sent them to her assistance They
found small party Of the survivors
on the head Of the island, but passed on
to the relief of those on the wreck. Ten
or II were found clinging to the wheel,
but al but four dropped off and were
drowned before they could reach them.
Thompson rescued the pilot, Harris,
who subsequently came to st. Louis, on
the Marble City, The latter states that
Virgins, their Red river pilot. was
drowned Harry Trip, the pilot, on
watch SAYS Captain Reeder was
buried in the debris, he heard him
calling for help but the fire gained
such headway that assistance could not
be rendered, and he was burned alive
Fisher, the carpenter reached Cairo on
the Shre"c; he is not seriously hurt
He says the second engineer, who had
been terribly scslded, was helpless and
blind. Fisher put him and others on a
stage plank, which capsized, drowning
several. George Kettle. first engineer,

sham, fret clerk, was not seen after the

officers OF the Shreve state that there
were about thirty-fve deck passengers
Of the Oceanus, making with the steam
boat hands, one hundred souls, all OF
whom were lost but twenty who are on
the Belle of St. Louis. The names

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April ll.-The stories
telegraphed from here yesterday, re.
garding the conference between Liberal
Republicans and leading Democrats in
and out of Congress, is pronounced, on
the authority of Gen. Morgan, a sense
less fabrication. Ex-senator Doolittle,
who was reported as being present, was
not even in the city at the time. The
reported consultation between Senator
Schurz, Geo. H. Pendeton and several
leading Democratic members OF Con-
gress, telegraphed from here few days
ago, is also pronounced untrue on the
same authority. Senator Schurz did
visit the House as reported, and Mr..
Pendleton was on the floor at the time,
but they did not meet.

A YEAR OF DIsEAsE.-By the ties

A YEAR OF DIsEAsE.-By the testi-
mony of medical men and Of the press
all over the world, this has been an
exceptional year for the prevalence OF
diseases Of a malignant type. What
peculiar state Of the atmosphere causes
this spread of disease is not settled, but
there is deficiency or superabundance
of some element to occasion it. The
manner in which continent smallpox
has travelled in this country, the steady
advance of cholera over the world from
its Asiatic lair, the alarming develop
opment OF the spotted fever, or cerebro
spinal meningitis, the unprecedented
spread Of malignant scarlet fever,
dptheria, black measles and like diseas-
es in their worst type, are illustrations
of this unpleasant fact.

fire was subdued after considerable
trouble and time.
On ThurSday evening AN alarm was
raised that the NJ. f. Church was on

be nothing more or less than the smoke
from the chimney blowing down around
