Among those who favored us with recita

command the esteem and respect of every en-

Strength of the Republican Party.

In 1868 the whole popular vote for Presi-
dent was 5,716,7ss of which Grant received
3,0l3, 1888; Seymour, 2, 103 600. Grants ma
Jority, 3O9, 5SS. 1t appears from these figures
that four years ago the Democratic party,
with all its sins of omission and commission.
was powerful organization, casting Az
per cent. of the popular vote Of the country.
Since then it has doubtless greatly weakened
in numbers and force. The rapid extineuish-
ment of the public debt, coupled with a sys-
TEN of gradual but large annual decrease in
the burden of taxation, has produced such
unexampled prosperity to every commercial
and business interest as greatly to stimulate
confidence in the wisdom and integrity of the
Administration, and strengthen the trust of
the masses of the people in the Republican
party. The continued retention of power by
that party is conclusive evidence that the
affairs of the nation are managed for the best
interests of the whole people. ANY wide
divergence from iudicious policies, or want of
integrity and wisdom in the administration
of the Government, would speedily increase
the present minority into majority party,
and wrest the political control of the country
from the hands of the Republicans. The ar
guments frequently used by the Liberals
that the Democracy is kept out of power on
account of its record during the rebellion is
only partly true. Its record was bad enough,
and fastens a stigma to the name of the Or
ganiZatiOn, but any serious malatministration
on the part of the Republican party would
cause numbers of Republicans quickly to for
get the past, and, joining the ranks of the
two and a half millions of Democratic voters,
restore them to place and power. The fact
that the Republican party retains the control
OF affairs, through wise policy and honest adj
mnistration, renders individual detection
harmless. These defections and apostacies
even serve to strengthen the party, because
the attacks of deserters are always violent,
generally ill-founded, and speedily react upon
themselves. They invariably deteriorate into
ISLANDERS, and, instead of njuring, benefit the
party against which they are launched.
The Republican party was never so power
full as at present Backed by an increasing
majority of the people, its policy amply vim
dicated by a prosperity cOeXtensvc with the
length and breadth of the land, it can afford
to be aggressive. Pointing to history Of
unexampled brilliancy, and referring with
satisfaction to the present high tide of wealth
and happiness flowing in upon all classes of
the people, it may be well to call stragglers,
recalcitrants, and deserters to return to the
ranks, and, if they fail to do so, warn them
away from the Republican camp-fires. The
existence of the Republican party was once
the sole bulwark of the Union-the only sal
walton of the Republic and of liberty. It's
continuance in power is no less necessary
now to the present and future prosperity of
the nation than its existence in vigor and
strength was then prime necessity to the
preservation of the Union.- Chicago Post.

The State COIored Convention.

Troy, May 9.-The colored peoples State
Convention in session here to-day adopted an
address to the people of the State urging
them to support the Philadelphia nominal
tons, and also the following resolutions:
Resolred, That the duty of every colored
citizen lies within the lines of the Republi.
can party, and that any departure therefrom
must inevitably lead into the camp of the
common enemy.
Resolved, That we are greatly endeared to
the Republican party because in its ranks are
to be found all that remains true to the ever
to-be-revered liberty and abolition parties,
and because the Republican party, true to
its baptismal VOWS, has in its existence not
only suppressed the most cruel and wicked
rebellion that ever cursed the land, but has
forced traitors, great and small, wherever and
whenever found, to bow IN honorable submits
sion to the majesty of the law and not only
because this great party has through its legis.
latures and its judiciary emancipated the
American slave and clothed him with citizen
ship and political rights, but because it also
has and does guarantee and vouchsafe to him
and his, despite the opposition and protest OF
the Democratic party and its allies, the re-
cOgnition of their manhood and liberal
share of the federal patronage under its con-
troll.
Resolred, That we indorse the administra-
ton of President Grant, and that we regard
it as being eminently wise, liberal, and
statesmanlike, and as fulfilling our expecta-
tons Of what Republican Executive ought
to be.
Resolred, That we will in the future, as we
have in the past, support the regular Repub-
lican nomination when made, both State and
national.
Resolred, That we recommend to the Re.
publican State Convention to be held at FL.
mira on the 18th inst, the propriety of send
ing representative colored man to the Ma

To tie Editor Of the Ne,c National Era:
On Thursday evening last large and en-
thusiastic meeting was held in the NJ. E.
Church, South Washington street, to give
expression to opinion on Senator Summers
Supplementary Civil Rights Bill. The meet
ing was opened with prayer by the pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Davis. After which upon motion,
G. w. Mitchell, Esq, was called upon to
preside. Upon taking the chair he delivered
an able and instructive address of which the
following is brief summary. He said the
the duty of the colored voter in the coming
Presidential election was never palmer. To
him no other course was left but to support
the nominees ofthe Philadelphia Convention.
Perhaps white men could afford to expert
ment in President making, but colored men
never. The speaker said that he was well
aware of Greeley's past eminent services in
the Republican party as the champion OF the
poor and oppressed, but he did not believe in
following any man into the enemy's camp.
A President is but the exponent of the party
which elevates him to power. He must re-

Trmbull trying to Guido Bayard in opposi-

wise be regulated by law. The speaker
dwelt upon the many indignities and insults
to which colored ladies and gentlemen are
alike subjected, how their rights are continu-
ally denied them, and the consequent neces-
sity of the passage Of this bill. He said that
if we grant to this new party all that they
claim they are only following in the wake Of
the Republican party, and that too, at q great
distance. They declare In their platform
that they are opposed to reopening the ques'

To tie Editor of is -NeT National Era
That the alarm and apprehension of South

Indifference with which Congress regards the

Physicians are presumably men of varied
information and culture, and should there
fore be progressive. They should be abreast
Of the time, if not ahead it. Especially
should they be above such petty and con-
temptible prejudice as that against men of
color. But unfortunately for the standing of
the profession, and we fear, too, for the good
of the people, whose health is in some meas
ure in their keeping, it includes yet larger
element of old fogyism, which, like the Bour-
bons, neither learns nor forgets ANYTHING.

but number of white delegates, because
they have affiliated with physicians of color.
This is carrying the spirit of caste, born of
African slavery, to ridiculous extent, but
more than this, it is fragrant insult and
wrong tomedical gentlemen ofirreproachable
character, and whose abilities are at least
above the average. Some of the physicians
thus denied admission to the association are
professors in the medical department of the
Howard University at Washington. and are
gentlemen whose Judgment and experience
would prove valuable to the body. The
double objection was urged against them that
they are professionally connected with both
colOred and female physicians. The refusal
to admit them on such grounds is an insult
to our civilization, and is a disgrace to the
medical fraternity, of which the most catho-
lie and liberal-minded minority cannot too
hastily wash their hands. The world certainly
moves, inasmuch as slavery has been abolish
ed, colored men have been given all the rights
and privileges under the law which white
men enjoy, and women are now enable to
acquire a thorough training in almost every
branch of knowledge. But the doctors, or a
majority Of them, seem to have stood still
while civilization has moved ON and left them
behind. Philadelphia Press.

Fattening Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten
chickens while they are at liberty. They
must be put in proper coop; and this,
like most other poultry appurtenances,
need not be expensive. To fatten twelve
fowls, coop may be three feet long,
eighteen inches high, and eighteen
inches deep, made entirely of bars. No
part solid-neither top, sides nor bot
tom. Discretion must be used, accord
ing to the size of the chickens put up.
They do not want room; indeed, the
closer they are the better, provided they
can all stand up at the same time. Care
must be taken to put up such as have
been accustomed to be together or they
will fight. If one is qua1relsome, it is
better to remove it at once, as, like
other bad examples, it soon finds imita-
tors. A diseased chicken should not be
put up. The food should be ground
oats, and may either be put up in a
trough or on flat board running along
the front Of the coop. 1t may be mix
ed with water or miik-the latter is the
better. 1t should be we'll soaked, form.
ing a pulp as loose as can be, provided
it does not run Off the board. They
must be well fed three or four times a
day-the first time as soon after day
break rs may be possible or convenient,
and then at intervals Of four hours.
Each meal should be as much and no
more than they can eat up clean. When
they have done feeding, the board
should be wiped and some gravel may
be splead. 1t causes them to feed and
thrive

Pear Blight.

Notwithstanding the voluminous mat
ter that has been written on pear blight,
and the various theories promulgated
relating to its cause and cure, but little,
if anything, is certainly known beyond
mere theory. Our own theory is that
it is largely promoted 10y over-stimula-
ton, by planting upon rich and wetsoil,
and especially from the absence of po-
rosity in the subsoil, and the violent cx-
tremes of the American climate. Upon
its first appearance, the branches show
ing it should be pruned away below the
indications of blight. Root pruning has
also been practiced with benefit in some
instances. The best preventive we can
advise is to plant the trees only on land
naturally or otherwise well drained to a
great depth, and to keep the trees grow
ing as evenly and moderately rs posi-
bic, training them by pinching the
young growth, SO that knife pruning
will not need to be employed. to any
great extent. Trees that have been al
lowed to grow without care since plant
ing should be pruncd to equalize them,
covering the wound with wax, to pre-
vent sun, cracking and decay, and there
after pursue the course indicated as

A Sad Case.

A Washington correspondent of
Chicago paper relates the following sad
story:
Last night white woman named
Annie Dean was murdered in a most
wretched and filthy apartment of a
shanty in an obscure alley. Members
OF the police force who have long known
her as an inmate of low houses here, as
sert that she is the daughter Of rich
millionaire, who married her fathers
coachman in New York some years
since. This story is also declared to be
true by her late associates. The room
in which she was found is about twelve
feet square, and is detached from the
main building, surrounded with an in
closure of palings, with an entrance
door IN the rear and one window. A
more dismal and filthy place it would
be difficult to imagine. A double bed
occupies about one-fourth the space of
the room, and a table and other articles
are standing around promiscuously, AND
several empty bottles on the floor and
under the bed, with filthy clothing and
rags lying about the room. The wall
and ceiling are covered over with picto-
Nf"f>iS, eh" VNViy paw ID biS'SN
from dirt and smoke.
1.-The deceased was lying on pile of
rags on the floor at the foot of the bed,
with scarcely clothing enough to cover
| her, her arms extended and hands
clenched as if by commissions. Her
face was covered with purple spots, eyes
partially open, hair dishevcled and
mouth half open. She had been muir,
dered by a colored woman hitting her
over the head with bottle, and left in
the above condition till found by the
police. At the inquest one of her asso.
ciates testified that Annie, after living
with her awhile, went to Baltimore tc
live with the Sisters, but came back
again. Annie told her that she married
her fathers coachman in New York anC
that he ran away from her. She livec
at Wizards when she first came here
and her husband left her. Her father
family were very rich, and they al
turned against her, and her brother wa
going to shoot her husband and he raj
off. Altogether the case is one of thu
most revolving ever brought to light il
