A CARD FROM MR.. sTRAKER.


To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Having appeared before Commissioner
Keteham few days ago relative to misrepre.
sensations made concerning me by one Holland, a
very irresponsible person, and one given to per-
sonal spite and hate desire that certain remarks
I made shall not remain hidden from the public,
and therefore respectfully ask space in your col
umns for this insertion:
"All colored persons receiving appointment to
office are under the present civil condition of this
country, appointed to represent their race, e1-
pressedly or implicitly, and if not exclusively,
specifically"
also said:
81 am in favor Of mixed schools, or properl y
speaking, common schools, now and while live"
This is an answer to those who say that 1 am
willing to sacrifice principle and my past record
for office. Mr.. John NJ. Langston, a gentleman
Of ability, and an untiring advocate of mixed
schools, knows that his present position as acting
president Of Howard university was reached in no
small degree by his frequent whisperings to col
ored men that q col ored man ought to fill that po-
sitiOn; also, that ais position on the Board Of
Health, which he has flled with honor, was given
him to represent the Gnl--ed race, and again,
that every effort Of his to gain seat in Congress
has been based upon the fact that he Is after all
slightly colored," and ought to represent his
race yet Mr.. LangstOn objected to my appoint
ment as a trustee of public schools because was
asked for to represent the interests of the coIored
race. Consistency, thou art a jewel ~ but not
to befound in Mr.. LangstOn, who, loud in his the
DRY Of these things is silent in practice.
trust that no injustice will be done me for
plain speaking on this matter, and that will be
accorded the right Of free speech in a free coun-
try. d. A. STRAKER.

Mr.. Christian Hines, q veteran of the war Of
1872, residing at No. $40 Twentieth street north
west, was on the LIST instant paralyZed in the en-.
tire right SIDE and is now in a very helpless con-
dition. Last winter Mr.. Hines was very i'll for
several months, and was not expected to live; but
notwithstanding the fact that he is about ninety
years Of age, he rallied under the influence Of q
strong will and good constitution, regained his
health, and has frequently called on his brother,
now ninety-seVen years old, about q dozen blocks
distant; during the summer. Mr. Hines. who is
bachelor, has continued at his present residence
for very many years, and a niece, now we'll ad-
vanced in years, and labOring under the dis
advantage Of being nearly totally deaf, has been
his housekeeper, and is now doing all she possibly
can towards caring for her old and cherished
uncle. He is well known among the members Of
the Oldest Inhabitants Association and the As
soeiate Survivors Of the War Of 1872 and they
should call on the old soldier and encourage him
in his sickness, and try to enliven his spirits.

The picnic at Beyer's Seventh-street park yes

folks were started hOmeward. and the young
ladies with their gallant escorts began rapidly to
appear, and by eight O'Clock the crowd was great.
