LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A ooLoRED MANS COMPLAINT.


TO The Editor of the Commercial:
Allow me, through the columns of your paper,
to address a few words to the race that have
the honor to be identified with. Notwithstanding
all that our friends have done for us, who have
labored necessarily, until at length proportion
ately we are citizens ofe the republic. Our enc
mics on the other hand, have done all that was
in their power, from contention to murder, and
should the victims corpse be cut in pieces, the
criminal, should he confess the crime, judging
the future by the past. jury of our enemies
can be empannelled, whose verdict will be &C.
quittal on the grounds Of insanity. Taking the
above with many other incidents that daily come
under our notice, is it not essential that we COM
mence TO do something for ourselves Viewing
our situation, we are shut out from all machine
shops, factories. &C.. merely because we are not
English, Irish, or French.
Our antagonists forget that we have g
good portion OF means in the savings banks Of
this city which they are using daily, whilst they
are opposing us with all their vigor. Let us
husband our means and instead of doing as
heretofore, make an effort to do as the colored
mon in Baltimore. They have a ship-yard a
brick yard, also. We are informed they are
bossing both. We had as we'll begin. Until we
do something more for ourselves than what we
have done, our ability will ever be doubted GER
tain men will tell to our posterity what our deh-
cencies were, and our actions will sustain
them. The doors of workshops can be opened
to our children by ourselves, and the sooner we
get to work. the better for u.s. and our children.
We see that everything fss being done in the
city and State, for the whites, except the build
ing of large work. house, to accommodate all
of the races. It is to be hoped that agitation
will commence at once, husband our means
amongst and within ourselves, and for the ben
eft more especially of our children.

Wilmington Morocco Markets.

WnMNaToN, DEL, Oct. II.
Ths dullness which prevailed in the morocco
business in this city, during the Summon, has
been intensified by the financial troubles, and
the trade has probably not been in more pros
trated condition, since 1865. Production has
been greatly curtailed, and is now estimated to
be not over one-third it's usual volume. This has
been effected by dischareing men, in most estab-
lishments, and wages, at the same time, have
undergone reduction OF about ten per cent.
One firm has fallen in its product from 50 dozen
skins per week to 40 or As and another from 60
dozen to about 20. .
In sales, the Market in all directions Is ex-
tremely dull Buyers are holding OF, generally,
or ouly taking enough goods to satisfy pressing
needs The Eastern trade, which is largely re-
lied upon by manufacturers here, seems without
life There seems to be rather more demand in

Health was held, last evening" President Mccall
Ia the chair.
Progress was reported upon the reported nui-
sances at Linden and Van Buren, streets also
in an alley running from Conard street to Third.
Mr.. Hawkins, Treasurer, reported that $50
additional had been collect ed for draining cell
lars ON Maryland avenue and Front street.
Mr.. Eckel, from the committee on license and
contracts reported that IL cents per cubic foot
had been agreed upon as the maximum price for
cleaning cess-pools with the Odolless Egcaya-
ting Machine, and upon his motion the report
was accepted.
Upon the further m tlon of Mr.. Eckel. to
adopt the report of the committee, DIR. Draper,
DR.. Shortldge and Messrs. Lincoln, Mccullough,
and others, in debating the proposition, sug
gested that it would be more feasible to arrange
a scale OF prices based upon lneal foot measure,
arranged to the different diameters OF the wells
Mr.. Eckel said the committee, after hurried
consultation, had only made the report and liked
the maximum at IL cents per cubic foot, because
the contractors had failed in accordance with
the 10th article of the rules. to present scale
of prices to the committee. He was perfectly
willing to accept any other plan which would be
acceptable to the Board.
The report was withdrawn,
On motion of Mr.. Eckel the contractors were
instructed to make a schedule of prices, accord
ing to rule 10, and have them at the next meet
ing Of the Board.
