New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1874-01-22

The following are the opinions Of the lead
ing New York dailies on Mr.. Elllott's great
speech:
BY far the most eloquent and effective
speech that has been made upon either side
of the Civil Rights bill was that of Mr..
Elliott of South Carolina to-day. Mr..
Elliott is apparently of unmixed African
blood, and he represents the district that for
many years sent John G.. Calhoun to Con-
gress. Educated in England, he went from
Massachusetts to Charleston in 1866, and
began his new career there as a type-setter
in the office of a newspaper edited by his
colleague, Mr.. Ransicr. He has natural
gift for oratory which has been cultivated by
large experience on the stump. His voice is
full and agreeable, and in his pronunciation
he displays far less of the pecularities of the
| negro dialect, than those of many OF the
Southern white members. His sentences are
constructed with an obvious regard for
euphonious sound, and if any fault were TO
be found in his manner Of speaking it would
| be that he falls into too much OF cadenced
delivery. He read his remarks from manu-
script, but this did not detract from their
force, as from that of Mr.. Stephens speech
yesterday ,'for he made use of all the orators
art, voice, and gesture. He got much
more attentive hearing from the House than
did the great Georgian, and was more thar
once applauded by the members, whose hanc
clappings were at once echoed from the
! gallaries, packed with colored people. IL

The Agricultural Land Scrip and
the COlOred People.
Letter from H. M. Turner

Editor Morning Meas, Savannah, Ca:
NV attention was attracted by an article
in your issue of the Sd inst, wherein some
doubts are expressed in regard to the facts
of one or more of my assertions before the
military companies and citizens Of this city
on the LIST inst. Your remarks were clothed
in such kind and generous language that l
consider reply is not only invited, but
would be gratifying to the many patrons of
YOUR columns. 1 rejoice that the day has
arrived when even cOlored men can express
themselves, interchange views and discuss
the issues Of the day through the columns of
Democratic papers, without having their
motives traduced and themselves drenched
with scurrilOus invectives.
I did, in my speech before the citizens on
the parade grounds, charge our Governor
with Injustice to my race, for the manner in
which he disposed Of the s242, 900, known
as the agricultural school fund, appropriated
| by the United States Congress to the State
Of Georgia, for the use of the whole people
which YOU say, such appropriation sca
ever made there are reryfe,o pho hare erer hea,t
of it," While 1 am aware that the people
as a mass, pay but little attention to eithe
State or National appropriations, hat
thought the act in question had been 81
thoroughly ventilated that the public was
posted in regard to it. But as it appears
was mistaken, I thank you for the oppor
tunity of sustaining the ground of my COM
plant through such respectable organ.
If you will turn to page SOB, vol. II, Uni
ted States Statutes-at-large, chapter 100
YOU will see that the act approved July 2

the United States is bound to protect by law
this prescribed class.

1Aio piOSCIlUCu CidoSs
The onward march of civilization and
progress cannot be stayed by defiant Demo-
Gratis, week-kneed Republicans, faint-hearted
Conservatives, nor flre-eating negro haters.
All these must get out of the way, or the car
of progress which is now speeding its way
even into heather lands will sweep over
them and leave not a trace or vestige of their
ill and misspent life behind. There is a
counterpoise in human affairs. The immu-
table laws of justice and right will assert
their supremacy over injustice and wrong.
Equality of rights is the only true and
just basis of republican form of government.
Whenever the rights of one class are denied,
abridged, or destroyed, it is usurpation and
tyranny, and not law and justice. The
theory, genius, and policy of tho Amcican
Government is to preserve the most friendly
relations with all its inhabitants Of every
color, race and cline. This can only be
effected by abolishing all invidious distinc-
tons and placing all its citizens upon one
common platform. This prescription is one
of the foul blots and relics of slavery which
still rest upon the escutcheon of the nation,
and which impairs the character of the Gov
eminent, both at home and abroad, by all
lovers of freedom and equal rights. Let no
such thing as one class legistating in behalf
of another class any longer exist. This at
once gives the lie to our professions, and
stamps us as hypocritical and inconsistent.
The perpetuity and life of the nation are
dependent upon our adhering to the great
principles that lay at the foundation of this
Republic-liberty and equality.

The Sacramento Record says: " The newly
elected School Superintendent has thrown
down the gage of battle to the Board of Ed
ucation, on the admission of colored children
to the public schools. The Board having
ordered the teachers to apply to it for per-
mits to admit children, Hinkson has issued q
circular forbidding the teachers to admit col
ored children to the schools. OF course this
conflict of authority places the teachers in
an awkward position, but we presume it can
be shown that the Superintendent has OK
ceeded his powers, and rashly undertaken to
usurp those of the Board whose subordinate
he is. AS to that section of the Code pro-
yiding that children of African descent must
be provided for in separate schools, it is
clearly in contradiction Of the supreme law
of the land, and therefore nugatory. In re-
gard to Hinkson's attitude we do not know
that it is necessary to say much. He was
elected on the strength of most contempti-
BILE and discreditable prejudice, and perhaps
he is excusablo for pandering to it now.
The duty of the Board of Education, how.
ever. is clear It must not yield an inch o.
its ground, but must bring pressure ON oul
representatives to introduce a bill that will
settle the question out OF hand.

but the duties are relative and quite different.

but the duties are relative and quite different.
Men enter into compromises, adopt measures,
that may tend to harmonic conflicting opin-
ions, and ofttimes make concessions for the
sake of reconciliation. But In religious du-
ties the quickening power of an unperverted
conscience is ever appealing to higher law.
In either case the mat er of principle is en-
Joined, and to it men are bound to conform.
But the influences actuating that class
strictly religious, and that class secular; are
SO absolutely diverse that it would be making
unwarranted demands to exact Of the latter
that which is peculiarly quality of the for
mer. Hence it is unfair to blend secular and
spiritual matters and make them equal. The
adjustment and administration of all political
duties belong with the people, and it is for
them to determine whether the character
and policy of public man are too intolerable
to be borne; and If party convention non-
mates its man, it is the people making the
same through delegated authority.

" For ichat is yoW i(e"--James 4;-l4.
What is it? Its preaation. 1t is work
ing out the problem o. s:oi mp destiny sor
veal or woe. 1t is loom upon which We
each arc weaving the garments we must
wear forever. We may weave bright and
golden cOlOrs into this immortal dress, in
which we may shine through everlasting
ages, or in sable hue, itmay drapc our spirits
in eternal gloom.
1t is the time in which we are chselng
our image and painting our moral likeness,
which at death shall remain unchanged for
ever.
We have but one life. We shall never
back to correct mistakes, or avail ourselves
of sad experiences. We can do nothing
further for understanding for others.
Outside of earth all is fred-in Heaven none
need our aid; in hell is despair--none can
haveit
This, too, is a perilous life; dangers beset
us on every path. Moral wrecks of those
who have fallen by the temptations of the
way are all around US. Then too, how brief is
this life! 1t is vapor that appeareth for a
little while and then vanisheth away; and
it is as empty as brief. Vanity is inscribed
on all the works of man. But thanks be to
God! it is a hopeful life. Christ has brought
life and Immortality to light through the
Gospel. We may make this human life, by
the grace that is in Him, radiant with moral
beauty, and fill it with the blessed hopes OF
Immortality. We may make it useful life
as we'll, sympathizing with the distressed,
succoring the needy, instructing the igno-
rant, lifting up the degraded, and aiding in
strumentally, that Others also may "obtain
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with
eternal glory" Oh, life is a fearful yet
blessed gift of God! 'Lord, teach us so to
number our days that we may apply oul
hearts unto WISDOM" And when we come
| to die, to say with Paul, 81 have fought a
good fight; have finished my course;
have kept the faith; henceforth there is lait
up for me a crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me
| at that day." A. A.
