The stories Of outrages indicted upon negroes
IN various localities in the Southern States are
too numerous and too specific to be disposed OF as
mere actions invented for political purposes.
Whipping, shooting, killing, with designated
names and places, constitute kind OF evidence
that should not be difhcult Of Vorinoation. Even
few ascertained instances Of the sort must work
incalculable injury to the South. For every ne
gro that Is the victim Of outrage there Is whole
district, perhaps an entire State. that suffers in
public estimation. Immigration stops, credit de-
olineG Improvements languishes, wherever tho
spirit Of laElessness Is reputed to prevail. Re
ports like these furnish the enemies OF good gov
eminent in the South With their most efacient
weapon.-Ness York Tribune. rrr

Justice to the Subject.

No long ago l met clergyman
in whom [ was interested, a wor.
thy man, who somehow did not
seem to "get on" Nobody had
anything against him, but nobody
wanted to hear him preach. He
was sound, solid, pious and all
that, but. Venturing on the
privilege which belongs to a friend,
/ said to him: "My dear brother.
| hear only one fault found with
you. People say you preach so
very long-that you make moth
ing of preaching for an hour, or
an hour and quarter" He an
swered: "Weil, when l take up a
subject, l like to discuss it fully. l
like odojustice to a subjects even if l
have to 60 beyond the usual limits.
Gracious grandmother | ex-
claimed Justice to the subject /!
And is no justice or mercy to be
shown to the audience Is the
sermon the means, or the end 2
Did God Almighty send you into
the world to discuss subjects, or
to convert souls ? If you are alive
for the subject, if the subj ect is to
feed and clothe you, and support
you, and support your children,
and if this subject is to recompense
uat the day Of judgment, why,
| have nothing further to offer
But, if it is souls that you are to
live for, then, look ont ier the souls,
and let the subject take care OF it.

Chattanooga Letter to the Cincinnati Com

That was a good reply which
a colored barber in this city
gave to a delegation of colored
men who called upon him for the
purpose of claiming the right
to be shaved ''the same as a
white man." "Sir,'' said the
spokesman of the delegation,

shaved here"
at can't be done," answered
the colored barber.
Then the spokesman came
down with a pertinent thrust,
saying, CANT our money as
good as anybody's?" And the
coIored barber answered thus:
eyes, just as good, but there IS
not enough of it."
The barber, in telling me Of
this circumstance, said: 81 am
a colored man and have to work
for a living, and the minute l
commence shaving darkeys that
minute every one Of my white
customers would leave me. The
biggest radical in town would
q;:it me just like the democrats.
It's contrary to the nature Of a
white man to want TO mix that
way with the negroes; and,
what's more they won't do it
You can't get a white man in this
town to shave in a shop Whsre
negroes are shaved; / wouldn't
either if | was them; and I'm
not going to break up my bust
ness to accommodate 4 few
sweIl-head niggers who want to
put on all the style Of white
men"
