NEAR CAPE HATrERAs, July 29 rs. I
Editor Free Citizen:
DEAR SIR--Have just read your
leader of last week on mo interest
in the black man." which is we'll put,
and the criticism on Fred Douglas is
well made, Cooking at this whole
subject from a human stand point,
can see some reasons for white pco-.
to talk about giving up tie colcNd ).
but for the colored to talk about sep
arating from the white,- and heing in
dependent, is simply foolish, and
may result in the end with great dis.
aster to the colored people. ! know
it is not we'll for children to depenrl'
on father always, but it is not well
for them to boast or independence
till they can walk without stumbling.
! do no injustice by this figure; the
fact is, the majority of colored per
sons in the South are children in
knowledge, and they need and ought
to have the aid and sympathy Of their
brothers whose circumstances have
been more favorable than their own.
Had the circu instances been changed
during the long, dark period of the
Y past a We Y have no, reaso9 to SUPPOSE
the whites would have done any bet
ter than the blacks for we be broth
ers, oil belonging to Adams race,
and it is silly, foolish and wicked FIR
one TO kick at the other.
| just word about our sail, though
I am reminded that il may be prelna-
ture, as we left Charleston only yes
terday, and are not quite half way to
New York. AS soon as we passed
over ''the bar" old Neptune met US
with his bill Of fare, but after consitl-
erable will and decision ON the part
of the passengers, most were released
with paying slight interest on his
unreasonable tax. The weather, thus
far, has been excessively hot. Tie

The ocean, as well as on the land
But we all hope for cooler days and
nights soon. The ocean is suI,limely

school. We shall never grow weary
in it's study; ever changing, and yet
monotonous, ever rolling and foam.

spouting the water high in The air,

feet in length. Yonder is seen the
shark, a clumsy fsh, but one of great
power; then q school of mackerel,
which wake up an appetite. A thun-
der storm on Thursday was sublime,
though we thought you needed the
rain more than we did. An amusing
scene occurred just at dark, on q
sndden change Of the boat in its
course. hIost of the passengers on

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
he Accusation Denied by the Accuse

Yesterday afternoon, about O'Clock, Detective
McDevitt arrested Christian Smith, German.
on a warrant sworn out by E. d. Grifhth, charg-
ing that the accused did falsely and feloniously
swear at q trial before Justice Thomas ]. Shea
that he did not sign his name to q certain paper
for the rental Of q house, dated May rs, 1875, and
witnessed by J. W. Pilling and James A. Nc
Laughlin. The facts in the case appear to be
that on April Z, 1858, Christian Smith made q
verbal agreement, in the presence Of several Wit
date Of certain property on Seventh street, be-
yond Boundary, from Mrs. Samuel Hoover, for
$50 rental per year-the agreement to hold good
die, in which case the contract should be consid-
cred terminated. The property is forty feet front
and ~ feet deep; When the tenant took poses
and since his occupancy 1t has been further i'm
proved by stable and other out buildings.
Since the agreement was made Mrs. Hoover
transferred the property to Mr.. Wilson, and he

last spring the latter had q tall board fence
erected around the lot, completely hemming Mr.
damages, and secured 800. They then set about
securing from him a paper, acknowledging him.

never executed, and they assert that he did, and
have witnesses to prove the truth Of their ssser-
tion. In May last he was served with 9 months
notice to vacate the premises which he disre-
under the agreement with Mrs. Hoover. Not
needing the first, q second and three days notice
was served upon him, and at its expiration q
suit for ejectment was brought before Justice o. s.
B. Wall, but removed before Justice Thomas J..
Shea, and came of yesterday. In giving his evil
dence Mr.. Smith disclaimed having signed any
paper OF the purport stated by the prosecution,
and at the close Of the trial the warrant for false
swearing was secured. The accused stated last

mony, and that be believed It was only dishen-

BERKELEY SPRINGS HOTEL, July L. 1875.
As yet It is very quiet here, but the gay season
will soon be inaugurated. for the band arrives to-
day, and those who are fond of dancing will have
good chance to enjoy themselves in the spacious
ballroom. Mr.. Potts is doing everything for
the comfort OF his guests, and all appear we'll
pleased with his kind attentions The rooms are
nicely fitted up and exceedingly comfortable.
Berkeley Springs is one Of the Oldest Of Virginia
watering places, and well maintains its ancient
reputation. The town Of Bath, in which these
springs are located, is pleasantly situated in q
beautiful valley, surrounded on all sides by tsw-
ering hills. 1t Is the county town. and the court
house and jail are located here. The hotels, and
the baths owned by the State of West Virginia
are the chief attractions in the place. The baths
are very nice. Those who are fond OF swimming
and diving try the pool, while those who wish to
ments. The gentlemen's pool is four feet six
inches deep. 1t is about fifty feet long and twelve
feet wide. The bottom is nicely concreted, and
water is clear and cold, and contains valuable
medicinal properties. The ladies' pool is much
smaller, and the bottom is Of white marble blocks.
1t is important to bathe at the times directed BY
the bath keeper, in order that health may be
promoted. The many drives in the immediate

furnish source Of almost untIring enjoyment.
Our friend Mr.. Dole, who has o nice cottage near
the hotel drove us in his carriage to the Lovers
Leap" where grand view Is obtained of the
mountain, and the Potomac river and the Chess-
peake and Ohio canal In the valley below. The
scenery from "FarvieW," about half a mile from
the hotel, is beautiful. Berkeley is SO easy of
access to the Washington public that 1t is yearly
becoming more popular. 1t is already favorite
resort for many Baltimoreans, and among the
number we noticed the name of Thomas Deford.
Among those from Washington are General and
Mrs. Jetfries, also Miss Jetfries, Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Mohun and son, Mr. and Mrs. Henry A.
willard, Mrs. Lucy b. Chandler and Harry K.

DISTRICT NOTES.

The Board Of Health and the Commissioners.
Chief Engineer Hoxie has sent notices to all
the street contractors stating the imperfect char
acer of their work and the condition of the streets
paved with wood and concrete, and that If the
work Of repair be not Immediately commenced and
satisfactorily completed, it will be done by the
engineers offce and the cost charged to them.
This to be strictly enforced in all cases. There
are about seventy five of them. Footwalks have
been ordered and parking directed to be done on
Rhode Island avenue, between Eighth and Ninth
streets, and Tenth and Thirteenth, and Seventh
and Boundary streets; also, manholes at the cor
ner of g and Seventh streets northeast; same at
intersection Of and Eighth streets northeast;
same at Intersection Of q aud Seventh streets
northeast and the laying Of twelve-inch pipe
sewer on g, between Eighth and Ninth streets
northeast.
Complaints having been made of the practice of
the contractor for sweeping the streets in drop
ping dirt on q, between Fourteen and Fifteenth
streets southwest, Chief Engineer Hoxie has noti-
fed him to discontinue the practice and remove
the dirt. Two gass lamps have been ordered on
Washington street, Georgetown, at the Canal
bridge.
Messrs. Bliss and Langston, Of the Board of
Health, held a conference with the Commissioners
yesterday. They stated that the Board of Health
are constantly receiving complaints about the FILL
ing up of the wells and the neglect Of the officers
whose duty it is to repair pumps. Another mat
in streets and alleys. Another is the failure of
the parties whose duty It is to clean out sewer
traps to attend properly TO that duty, whereby
lne aI is POlsoueu WIN OneneINe eiuuVla. An
other subject of much complaint is the condition
OF q sewer on Louisiana avenue, between Ninth
and Tenth Streets which runs under private lots,
and for some distance is open, never having been
covered. This subject is to have prompt attention
by the District authorities. Another matter
which gave the board much trouble Is the herd
ing Of domestic animals on the public squares and
private lots, which has become nuisance over
which the Board Of Health has no control, mas
much as these animals are not at large, having
boys or women and sometimes men to guard them.
They ask the District Commissioners to interpose
for remedy of this evil The subject of the ex-
tension of the B-street sewer beyond Seventeenth
street northwest was then laid before the Commis-
sioners, DR.. Bliss stating that If continued as at
present It would lead to serious results, as the
local matter is discharged all over the X dwell

who endeavored to recross the Trocha, bearing
