The Grows" Business

There is one thing that great many
white gentlemen, especially politicians, in
this part of Gods country ought to learn
as quick as they possibly can, and that is
how to salute colored gentlemen. The al
most universal salutation by aspiring can
didates and their friends to colored men
is Hello boys" "Howd'y boys" "What'll
you take, boys" and so on for quantity.
1t not infrequently happens, too, that the
person extending such a greeting is
beardless cub of Is or 20 years, while the
person thus addressed may be venerable
gray-haired man of so, or man of educa-
ton, intelligence and culture, upon whose
ears and manhood such salutation, COM
iag from such source, CRATES with exces-
sive harshness and who never receives
such greeting without feeling himself
belittled and insulted. He sometimes has
trouble, too, in restraining his right foot
from a violent desire to osculate with the
lower extremity of the spinal column of
the individual thus addressing him. Mark
you, we do not object to this style of sal
utation between parties who are in every
respect equal, but what we do object to is
its reservation for and wholesale applica-
ton to, colored men Let white gentlemen
address colored gentlemen just as they
would white gentlemen. If they are on
intimate terms with colored men, let them
address these men just as they would be
addressed by them, and not in a style,
which, if applied to them by their colored
friends, would be offensive. In short,
white gentlemen ought to learn how to
address colored gentlemen in a style diff
ferent to that which they apply to boot
blacks

Colored Disaffection in Missouri

washington Speclal.l
WASHINGTON, April IA delegation of
colOred men from st. Louis, consisting of
j. Milton Turner, ex-United States Min
lister to Liberia; j. Smith Charlton, Fl.
Tanney,J J. w. Wilson and Alfred Carter,
called upon the president to-day, and rep
resented to him that the negro vote of the
State of Missouri is entirely unrepresented
in official positions in that State; that the
Negro and German vote toge ther COM
prised the bulk of the Republican vote of
that State; that the negro vote amounted
to 40 900, and controlled two, if not three,
Congressional districts; that If the presi-
dent woule elevate colored man to re-
sponsible official position in Missouri, it
would reunite the colored people, who
are now disaffected on account of having
to carry the burdens of the party without
recognition. The president said he was
in favor of doing all he could for t coll
ored people, and gave Mr.. Wilson a copy
of the following letter TO a government
officer, written by himself May z, 1877:
"Dear Sir-The appointment of colored
men to positions under you, for which
they are qualified. will tend to secure to
the people of their race consideration, and
will diminish race prejudice. Other ele-
ments OF your population are, of course,
not to be overlooked. Subordinate ap-
pointments should be arranged so as to
harmonize and meet the wishes and an.
proval of all classes of good citizens, and.
at the same time, promote the efficiency of
the service. Very truly yours,

Wants Dan to Emigrate.

We suggest an inquiry, not to the
Senate, but to the Democratic Senators.
Suppose they inquire whether Voorhees,
is not rather heavy load for their party
to carry? Our belief is that the Demo-
cratic party will never get into power
while 1T allows such men as Voorhees, to
raise their voices in its name. Voorhees,
may suit the Indiana Democrats. and we
do not mean to dispute their taste. But
VOORHEES, does not suit the country at
large, and every time he prances about in
the Senate he seriously diminishes the
prospects of the Democrats; because the
American voters, who are in the main SEN
sible men, don't "take stock" in Voorhees,,
to use phrase of Wall street, III the
Democrats could hire him to migrate to
California and join Dennis Kearney they
would make great gain.
AS to the colored people, they have, like
all other people, a right to migrate from
State to State at their own will, and why
or how they do 80 is none of the Senateis
business. We advise the Democratic
Senators to muzzle Voorhees, before it is
too late.

Mr.. Voorhees, Sickness. -
Washington Special.l


Senator Voorhees, declines to 60 on with
the exodus investigation because the Negro
witnesses the Republicans have brought to
testify about Southern outrage shave such
an offensive odor about them that it makes
him sick" Republican senators have not
noticed any offensive odors, and think it
must be their testimony that makes Voor-
hees sick. The sickness first appeared
when a carpenter named Adams, from
Louisiana, began to testify. Adams recited
the circumstances of outrage after outrage,
of which he knew personally in which
colored people have been murdered,
wounded, whipped, and hung, some of
them, including people of both sexes, and
even children, He did not testify from
hearsay, but from actual knowledge, and
his testimony is such an arraignment of
the white people of Louisiana as was never
presented before. His testimony covers a
period of 10 years, and makes 25O pages
of incidents that will make the blood run
cold. 1t was this evidence that made
Voorhees, sick, and he has since lost all
interest in the investigation.

Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, shook
the dust of Washington from his gar
ments the other day, and came home
"to repair his fences" which, it must
be admitted, are not in the best con-
dition. With Blaine making heavy
inroads on the Western Reserve, and
the friends of General Grant in a
fair way to control Hamilton county;
with active opposition all over the
State, and with lukewarmness and
possibly treachery among professed
friends, and incapacity of managers;
with all or even part of these things
to encounter, it is not strange that
the Secretary shouldsaecide to give his
presence and a modieum of his atten-
ton to the affairs ofEhis own State.
He was given a cordial welcome by
his neighbors and friends at his home
in Mansfield. In thesspeech made to
them he declared that his name
would not be presented to the con-
vention unless he received the en-
dorsement of Ohio. The friends of
the Secretary are active, and with
the influence of his presence in the
State, will no doubt be able to secure
a merited delegation from Ohio.

KANSAS FOR BLAINE.

The plumed knight has scored a
glorious victory in Kansas. The Re-
publican State convention which
assembled in Topeka, Thursday, after
an excited and stormy session, chose
a solid Blaine delegation. General
Grant had many warm friends in the
convention, but the enthusiasm for
Senator Blaine swept everything
before it.
There would be sort of fitness in
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine at Chi
cago. Mr.. Blaine was undoubtedly the
choice of a large majority of the dele
gates at Cincinnati. If unit rules and
other questionable tactics had been
done away with, and his name sub
mitted to direct vote of the conven-
ton, he would have been triumph
antly nominated on the first ballot.
Mr.. Blaine's nomination at Chicago
would rouse a wh!rlwind OF cnthus-
iasm which would sweep the country.
No disparagement is intended, how
ever, for any one of the great leaders
whose names will be presented to the
convention. Washburne, Conkling
or Sherman would lead the party to a
glorious victory. General Grant. "
nomination would produce bitter
fight within the party, and might
endanger the success of the ticket.

and the colored people has put Vir-
ginia on the list ofdoubtful States. The
most prominent Bourbons in the State
now admit that if Tilden is nominated
the electoral vote of Virginia will be
cast for the nominee of the Chicago
convention. We do not see that it will
make much difference whether the
nominee be Tilden or somebody else,
the cause of the Readjusters is abso-
lutely hopeless without the aid of the
colored people, and the colored peo-
pie will join no coalition that is not
in favor fthe Chicago nominee. The
Readjusters have everything to gain
by supporting the Republican candi-
date.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.

The fate of the Constitutional am.
endments will be decided next Mon
day. For the sake of the honor and
good name of our State we trust these
amendments will be ratified by an
overwhelming majority. In our opin-
ion they are all right and just, and
their adoption will be in the interest
of low taxes, fair elections and equal
rights. While declaring ourselves as
decidedly in favor of all the amend
ments, we, nevertheless, admit that
there may be grounds tor honest diff
ferences of opinion with regard to the
merits of some Of the amendments,
but with regard to those amendments
which remove from our constitution
the odius discrimination on account
of color which it contains, there is no
grounds for honest difference of opin-
ion. True, these constitutional dis
examinations arefOr the most part dead
letters, by reason of the recent amend
ments to the constitution of the Un-
tied States, nevertheless they repre-
sent the blind, brutal prejudice against
colored people which prevailed in this
State before the war, but which no
man will now publicly defend. They
represent the darkest period in our
history as nation and the basest pre-
judices and passions of that period

manhood will vote to retain these in.
