1.-THE Negro at the Capitol"

On our first page VIII be found an ar
ticle written by Grace Greenwood for the
New York Times, complaining of the
dark skinned loungers of the galleries and
loafers of the Streets" and suggesting, Cor
the ''honor and safety of the community
regulations excluding all 'indecently rag
ged or Extensively dirty persons, not only
from the galleries of the Capital, but from
the public conveyances of Washington
city, without regard Ito age, sex. color, or
really wonderful, and at the same time
encouraging! 1t is an Indication, like
many similar instances of recent occur
renee, of returning consciousness on the
part of many of our Northern friends, who
have been laboring under decisions engen-
dered by but zone idea" on the brain
They have recovered their powers of per
ception, so far as to perceive indecency,
and violations of the rules of propriety
and politeness in certain persons, however
well colored," and to think that such per-
sons should be required to conform to the
rules and the decencies of life as well as
white people; and that the latter yet have
some authority and rights which the 9th
ers should respect. But Grace Greenwood,
like others who have written similarly,
has recovered from the lone idea" delu-
sion only partially. The color" always
inclines her to lenient judgment, remem-
bering the debasing influences of slavery,
as she and Others characterize them. One
not familiar with the history of African
slavery. in aais country, would imagine
t.eeno.nts 81 cfed At5i san RI s,;an nso-
pie, that had been subjected to bondage,
and had been reduced from their former
enlightened condition to their present one,
by ages of servitude. Do these people
pretend to forget, or presume that their
readers are 80 ignorant, as not TO remem-
Der, that the ancestors of the negro popu-
lation-the larger part of whom were inn
ported from Africa and sold 10 the South
by their torefathers-were harbarians and
heathens ignorant, savage, slothful and
degraded Are they ignorant of the fact,
that they had been in that condition for
centuries, and that their descendants yet in
Africa remain in the same condition. 1t
is true the freedmen, as class, have retro
graded since their emancipation; yet, COM
pare their condition-civilized and christ
ianized-with that of their forefathers =
And yet, in the face of facts and history,
these people talk of the colored people as
having been reduced to their present posi-
ton, in the scale Of intelligence and man
ners, by slavery. Recovery from mental
decisions, however, is slow. Let us hope
as these disappear, and prejudices against
their Southern white brethren subsidies,
that Grace Greenwood and Others may
learn to observe the failings of their protoges
without attributing them to false reasons
and then their effort for correction, and
for their advancement, will undoubtedly
be more successful.

dictated by purest motives of philanthro-
ply, and has been paid for by his own
money; whilst everything done by the
other has been paid for by other peoples

of the Capital t. feel the same alarm that
those of New York city felt under Boss
