- A CIyIL-RIGITTS CASE THE OTHER Way
Rev. j. W.: Dungee, formerly the pastor Of
the Seventh-Street Free Baptist church,
nent coored Conservative speaker in Vir-
ginia during the late campaign, arrived in
Baltimore! yesterday, and very shortly en-
joyed an .u1a-civil-rights' experience. He
went to Il large clearinghouse to which he
had been recommended, and the business
card Of which The had seen circulated in
Virginia, kept ON Centre street by q colored
woman, and where he was cordially re-
ceived, and engaged, accommodations for a
week, with the privilege OF month. Depos-
iting his trunk and other baggage in the
room assigned to him, he went out, and
on returning was met with a percmp-
tory order TO leave the place. 1t seems
that in his temporary absence IL was learned
that he was "tlat Conservative Niger,
Dungee, from Richmond" and the woman
said no Conservative should abide under
her roof Mr.. Dungce, who is 4 man OF
cultivated speech and rare good sense,
would allow himself to have no words on
the subject, though being stranger he was
greatly inconyenienced for tie time, and
went away, procuring quarters elsewhere.
1t is very much to be regretted that colored
people who complain sometimes OF injus-
tice "on account OF race, color, and pre-
vious condition of scrYitude," should man
ifest political rancor towards lone Of their
own race, especially one who stands so well
in his State, and has done so much for his
people there as the Rev. Mr.. Dungee.

The Executive Committee.


Tho State Executive Committee exists by
sufferancc. At the State Convention ncia
in this city last May there was no provision
whatever made for its continuance; ana
many persons concluded that 1t had died q
natural death. After the Convention haa
adjourned. however, its PRESIDENT hon.
JoaS T.. MARYE, Jr., took the liberty OF APP
pointins State Executive Committee he
did SO IN virtue of o plan OF organlzat'on
which had been adopted at some previous
State Convention. At least, such IS our
nrcsert recollection OF the matter. we a'o
NOT then think that he had lesitimate'y eS-
crciscd this authority, though we o'o 'u'un
.,oro were reasons which made the act At
,east excussblc. He appointed MesSfs. ~
n MEADE. A. NJ. KELLEY, ana JOHN H.
Cry. The State Central Committee on Tue
LIST OF June held meeting, and by lmp'lca-
ton endorsed the action OF Iheutenan'-
Governor MARYE, but passed resolution
nroyitiing that il vacancy shoulo 1hcIe-
,fter occur in the State Executive Commit
tee i. should be filed by the chairman OF
the State Committee. General W. Il. IM.lA-
FERRo.
The points we wish to make iii this con-
ncction are, first, that Mr.. MEADE has not
vet resigned his Office, that which he in
tended for letter OF resignation pelhs
nothing more than private letter TO
friend who had no right to accept his resis-
nation; and secondly, that even concedins
that he has succeeded in resigning his posi-
ton, Mr.. MARYE has no right to appoint a
new member OF the State Executive COM
mittce. That power has been placed IN the
hands of the chairman OF the State Com
mittec.
We are sure that our friends MEADE ana
MARYE will understand that we are treating
this question just as il we did not know
them, or as il they had never had anything
to do with the matter. 1t Is simply ques-
ton as 10 who is the proper person to fill
vacancy in the State Executive Committee.
So far as we arc concerned, we should not
object to the question being so decided as
to keep Mr.. MEADE in n place which he has
filled to the satisfaction OF almost every man
in the Conservative party.

West Virginia's Capital.

The people Of Charleston, kanawha coun-
ty, W. Va, are talking Of constructing a
narrow-gauge railroad from that town
through the counties OF kanawha, Clay,
Braxton, and Lewis to the Northwestern
Virginia railroad Baltimore and Ohio
really ut or near Clarksburg, in Harrison
county. II the people Of kanawha county
will satisfy the people OF the other counties
OF West Virginia that such railroad will
be finished within five years, the capital OF
the State will almost certainly be located at
Charleston. Nothing but the inaccessible
ity OF Charleston from the northern and
northeastern parts OF the State could have
furnished to the Legislature sufficient
excuse for removing the capital away
from Charleston. But 1t was removed !;
and now the question to be decided
bv the voters at the ballot-boX is, Shall
it be located permanently at Clarks-
burg, or Charleston, or Marhnsburg. The
last-named place ought not to be seriously
considered as competitor for the seat OF
government. It is in one corner OF the
State-the new Panhandle formed that no
part OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
might be in Virginia-and has no more
claim, to be the capital Of West Virginia
than to be the capital OF Maryland or
Virginia. Clarksburg is more favora-
bly located; but still is not as we'll To-
Gated as Charleston The capital really
ought to be located at Sutton, in, Brax-
ton county, upon the beautiful Elk
river (which runs direct thence to Charles
tony. Sutton will be upon the line of the
proposed narrow-gauge railroad. and would
be as accessible as Charleston il this railroad
were built. But, as we have said, the act O.
Assembly providing for the permanent loca
= tion of the capital gives the voters chance
only between Charleston, Martinsbnrg, ant
Clarksburg; and SO Sutton is out OF thu
question.
" Now il Charleston has as much publ
spirit as she ought to bave, the capital i
hers. That is, if she will build this rail
I road. To insure its construction within
five years, Kanawha county could well affort
to subscribe one million OF dollars. As .
Spectator in real estate, the county woult
be fully justified in appropriating that sun
to the scheme. She would thereby secure
the annual expenditure within her borders
: of double the amount of the interest upor
!: that sum. She ought not to hesitate one
!. moment Without the railroad, she vii
not get the capital. With it, she will.

=. Mr.. J. C. HILL, who was defeated by
Colonel CARTER for the Office OF railroad
commissioner, felt when he. got home in the
humor OF telling the truth about the last
Legislature and here is what he says in his
paper, the Scottsville Courier:
There was no leader in either branch, but
a large number OF woULD-BE LEADERS. Men
who affect pretentiously to be statesmen,
but who are only demagogues and blather-
sixties, of course accomplish nothing, al
though their names appear every day in the
papers !; rbut much the larger number were
honest, earnest and faithful, and deserve
we'll OF their constituents. -

Ante-Beuum Mail Contractors.

We have already warned persons having
claims against the Federal Government for
transporting the mails prior to the late ere
belion" not to be in hurry to dispose Of
them. Ex-Governor SMITH asks us to re-
new this warning. He says that the best Of
agents can be induced to undertake to pro-
cure the money for ten, per cent. JOHN
SIBERIAN took such step as will probably
line the pockets Of some OF his Radical
friends when he ordered that none Of these
claims should be paid until all OF them had
been ascertained, although Congress appro-
priated more money than it thought they
would all amount to, "or so much Of it as
may be necessary" and although the Fede-
raj Government knows how much it owes
each contractor, and can learn how many
OF them were paid by the Confederate States.

The SOUTH CAROLINA MILITIA-CoLoRED
LOYALTY TO HAMPTON. Charleston, 3. e.,
April: 12.-The colored militia Of the city,
comprising nine companies, and aggrega-
ting about one thousand men, held meet
ing tonight and passed resolutions tender
ing their allegiance to Governor Hampton,
and asking for his recognition OF their or
ganization. 1t is probable that Governor
Hampton wilt form two regiments from the
citizen soldiery of this city, one OF which
will be made up of the white rifle clubs
and the other OF the icolored companies.
The same policy is. likely to prevail in the
