when the national organ of the District finds

doings of its colored citizens, because they

discuss on the eve Of a campaign. And more
into what pitiable condition has the said
organ fallen when it has to rely upon a
colored messenger for matter to fill its col
umns. The white portion Of its readers must
be edited, indeed, to read of all the scandals
political differences. and school fights among
the colored people which appear from time
to time in its columns. did hear though
through Jim Bundy that the Governor had
eco, 900 worth Of stock in the paper now, and
that he had put a stop to all these false and
sensational runlors about the "black man s
party" The organ" has quite bugbear
on its hands just now in the shape of large
building, and as it will take money to rid
itself OF the said bugbear, you may consider
that the opinions it processes to indorse are
paid for. So l suspect the wishes of the
Governor will have great weight if he owns
such large share in it. hope some stop
will be put to the false tales Of the "cullered''
reporter.
The secretary of some fire company here,
who is reporter for this organ, does not scru-
pie to admit his opposition to the affairs of
the colored people generally, and mixed
schools, particularly, openly announces his
determination to do all he can toward prejus
dlcing its readers against all matters which
pertain to colored peoples interest. So you
may Judge, dear Carrie, how much reliance
can be placed in this paper with a reporter
like the above mentioned, and this Pecksnfi
who can find no other way to attack men
whom he knors are his superiors, and whose
influence he fears.
l meant TO tell you that all this sensation
about the "black mans party" arose simply
from the fact of the organization of some club
similar to those which white men always
form just before a campaign, and if white
men exclude them from their clubs, why
should not colored men form club of their
own? So look at the matter, and Charlie
says that am not always near-sighted. 1t
seems to me that in this free (?) country of
America the citizens have the privilege and
the right to meet for the discussion of lust
whatever pleases them; and further, why
should it be such an impossible and unheard
of thing for cOloIed men to organize them
selves into party? White men have had a
party ever since the beginning of time, and
why should not colored men start on the same
track: do not wish you to think / advo-
cate such a measure, / only feel that it is not.
as the "Organ" wishes to make it, crime
punishable in the severest manner. And
after all the hue and cry of this ''cullered"
newsmonger, he could be bought and sold BY
either party, even "black mans party"
You see, Carrie, the trouble he has arises
from the fact that the colored men cannot
trust him, and the white men only use him
as tool to do the work they cannot stoop
to do; so he is really only spy on the actions
of the colorcd people, and is considered for
what he is worth in that capacity by those
for whom he spies, and by those into whose
proceedings he attempts to spy. Very few
believed the organization of such party,
and all who know the sore "head" of the
District can understand why he furnishes
such falsehoods to the reporters. Notice the
names of the men he mentions, and they are
those whom he fears. If he could succeed
in displacing many Of them in the good opin-
ion of the Government officials, he would be
satisfied. He doesn't aim any higher than
that; he can't; he is too small. But must
close here, for delayed writing at my usual
time, and so am somewhat hurried. have
much to tell you, and will be more lengthy
in my next. By the way, did you know Cas-
sius sent in his resignation as trustee and the
Governor would not accept it? lam glad he
did not, because he is one of the few whom
Pecksniff cannot 'run.''
HAIR NIGOR.-In common with many
others, we have felt lively interest in the
investigations which DIR. AVER has been
making to discover the causes Of failure of
the hair, and to provide remedy. His
researches are said to have been much more
thorough and exhaustive than any ever made
before. The result is now before us under
the name Of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. We
have given it trial, and with full satisfac-
ton. 1t equals our most favorable anticipa-
tons. Our gray hairs have disappeared, OF
resumed their orig inal color; and a visible
crop of soft, silken hair has started on part
of the scalp which was entirely bald.-Demo-

We had the pleasure of meeting, while in
Philadelphia, our friend, Mr.. William Beckett.
He was there getting in supply ofwood and
coal for his yard, situated at 1926 NJ street,
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets,
opposite the Sumner school building. Mr..
Beckett has been there some three years, and
by strict attention to business has increased
the trade of his yard until now he has some
three vessels loaded with coal consigned to
him. If you have not put in your winters
wood and coal give him call.
A commercial business school has been
established under the principalship of Prof.
L.. Twitchell, and is to be located corner
