Our Candidate for Congress---W shall
He Be-
The time is at hand when the Democracy Of
this Congressional District should be coming
TO a conclusion as to their choice Of a candi-
date for n seat in the next Congress of the
United States The names OF several proni-
nent and distinguished gentlemen have al
ready been mentioned in this connection, Ell
Their one of whom If elected, would reflect
honor and credit upon their constituency
Our last weeks issue contained very iiatter-
ing notice in this connection, taken from the
Townsontown, Baltimore county, Journal, in
reference TO Hon. Montgomery Blair, Of Mont
gomery county, and since then we understand
county have also been spoken of in very fa-
vorable manner. In Washington county, Col.
Andrew K. Syesier, the present Attorney Cen
eral Of our State, and Major Henry Kyd Doug
las, are urged for the nomination by their re-
spective friends. We do not know that any
gentleman in Allegany or Garrett counties has
been spoken of, or desires the nomination. In
Frederick county no one but Hon. JOHN
RITcnIE has been seriously thought of for one
moment, and while he is not seeking the nom
ination by any effort Of his own, and will not,
under any circumstances, enter into scram-
ble TO obtain it, we are grati6ed to know, and
his numerous friends throughout the Congress
sional District will be equally gratifed to
learn, THAT HE WILL ACCEPT THE NOMINATION IF
IT BIZ RENDERED HIM. There are many good
reasons why Mr.. Richie should be nomina-
ted. He is one Of the ablest men that this Dis
trict ever had in Congress. He was faithful
TO the wants of his constituents He possesses
great popularity among the people, and by his
merits has ingraiiated himself into their atfec-
ton aud confidence, and he was only borne
down and defeated, two years ago, by the
weight Of Greeley and the unwilingness Of
old Democrats to 90 to the polls and vote for
any one who was on the same ticket with Mr.
Greeley. Had Greeley been off our ticket, or
had Mr.. Richie been on il alone, or with other
recognized Democrats in each county, be
would have swept his District by as large
majority as he did four years ago, and with
harmony in our party, he can sweep it again
By an overwhelming majority next fall if he
should be nominated We think it due TO
Mr.. Richie that he should be renominaied
and have a fair chance to redeem himself and
his party from the disaster that betel them by
the force of circumstances, two years ago

CIVIL RIGHTS IN A BARBER SHOP.
Dr.. Redfeld Chattanooga letter to the Gin
cinnati Commercial says: That was good
reply which a colored barber in this city gave to
him for the purpose of claiming the right TO
be shaved the same IS white man. Sir, '"
said the spokesman OF the delegation, 1--WE de-
mand the right to be shaved here"
at can'tbe DONE, answered the colored
barber.
Then the spokesman came down with per-
tinent thrust, saying: ''Ain't our money as
good as anybody's?" And the colored barber
answered thus; ''Yes, just as good but there
is not enough of it.'
The barber in telling me of this cifcum-
stance, said 81 am colored man and have
to work for a living, and the minute | com
mence shaving darkeys, that minute every one
Of my white customers would leave me- The
biggest Radical in town would quit me inst
like the Democrats. It's contrary to the ma
ture of white man to want to mix that way
with the negroes; and, what's more, they
won't DO it. Yon get white man in this
town to shave in shop where negroes are
shaved; wouldn either, if was them and
I'm not going to break up my business to
accommodate few swell-headed niggers who
want to put on all the styles Of white man.
