colored man to legislature. much less to
congress: and SO far as welfare aware, no
Republican city in the North has ever had

no Republican member of congress in the

An African Demand,
St. Louis Republica

Mention was recently made of an effort
on the part of certain distinguished colored
men TO secure "a recognition of their race
by the nomination OF a colored candidate
for the vice presidency ON the Republican
ticket. Senator Bruce, Frederick Doug
lass and j. Milton Turner have been
perhaps still are-caucusing in Washing
ton tor this commendable purpose, and, ii
is understood, are fattering themselves
that their labors will not be in vain. We
dislike to throw cold water on warm hopes
which ought to be realized, but stern senss
OF duty compels IA to say that Messrs.
Bruce, Douglass and Turner would find a
much more remunerative employment In
saving wood or thrashing carpets, They
stand no more chance of getting a colored
nominee at Chicago than of changing their
compiexlons. aud they ought to have sense
enough to know it and be content with the
back seat reserved for blacks in the Re-
publican church. Those gentlemen seem
20 have entirely mistaken the true intent
and meaning of African acknowledgements.
and entertain the fond and foolish notion
that African citizenship brought pay as
well as work: in other words, that the
colored man has right to be voted for as
well as TO vote. This is grave. if not
fatal, error. The Republican party had
NO such intention. 1t wanted, and obtain

1t may be regarded as certain that Gen

almost assured, especially since Illinois
sends an instructed delegation to the
national convention in bis favor. His
nomination canceded, che query arises
Gan he be elected?" He has already held
the office two terms and from the inaugu
ration of Washington to this time is tht
only president who has ever asked III,
people for third torn. The incentive il
bis unprecedented ambition-an ambition
which reaches over and beyond all else
To talk of Grants modssty, or to say thai

will, is deliberate misstatenent of facts
He not only does want to be president
but he is and has been seeking the nomi,
nation with the earnestness of a ware
politician caucusiDg for a local office
Grant has been feted until he has become
accustomed to being looked upon as g
person above ordinary mortals. and he is
just as desirous to be the ruler of the
people as he was in 1868. More than this
too. he is for strong government" in
all that the term implies. Are the people
prepared to elevate to the presidency q
man whose willingness to defy the unwri,-
ten law in force since the Republic was
created? Are the people ready to accep,

Suit over a Picture.

In the Philadelphia Court of Common
Pleas No. 2, on Friday, a picture paint
ed in London, in 1870. by Sir Joshua
Reynolds, was the subject Of litigation
which came up for argument. The
portrait was that Of Vincent Lrckermau
Who died in Dover, Delaware, in the
year 1852. The portrait went to his
sou Nicholas, who died in his old map-
sion in 1850, and by his will the prop
arty, including the picture, went to the
Ave children Of his sister Elizabeth
Bradford, wife OF Thomas Bradford.
Rev. Thomas Bradford, administrator Of
Nicholas, lived In the Dover mansion.
Whom he died his wife retained his
portrait until four years ago, when
William Bradford, brother Of her hus.
band, got possession OF it and refused to
eturn it. Mrs. B. brought suit and
the Master awarded It to her under the
provision Of the laws of Delaware that
an administrator can take the person
al property Of the deceased at an assess
I'd valuation of $40. William Bradford
alleges that the Rev. Mr.. Bradford
held the portrait in trust fer the bene.
it of his brother and sister. The pres
ent case is an exception to the Masters
report on the ground that the Delaware
law giving administrators rightto per-
sonal property al the assessed valuation
Is contrary TO common sense and uni
versal law. The case is htla undr ad-
visement.
