EDITOR SENTINEL-I notice in your
issue of last week, letter from B. w.
Throckmorton, Esq, of Jersey City,
containing many expressions and
words of advice to the colored voters.
which | heartily approve If the
colored people will seize the oppor-
tunity and press forward to the high
calling of citizenship, there is grand
future in this country before them.
To be citizen-and a good citizen
should be the aim of every person in
this land And | deem it very aus
picious that your people have such
earnest workers as the venerable Fred
Douglass, Profs. Langston, Bagwell,
Aldridge, and last, though not least
by any means, yourself. Your people
will not go astray if they follow such
leaders.
Education must lie at the base.
The educated colored man makes a
good citizen, and he uses his educa-
ton to as good an advantage as any
other class. The better he is edu-
Gated, the more he sees the want of it
in his race, and the more he strives to
aid his fellows. | believe in the not
distant future, there will be many
colored men who will not only orig
mate, but execute great reforms which
will elevate their brethren, and place
them on higher plane than they have
ever been placed before. The priv
ilege of the elective franchise is not
the only privilege which the Repub-
lican party has given to the colored
man. 1t made him as free as the
birds in the air. Ii lifted him out
from the vortex Of human slavery,
where Democracy had placed and kept
him from the foundation of this Re
public. And with James A. Garfield
in the Presidential chair the time will
soon come when he shall vote, talk,
and act with the same freedom in the
z0liOle South, as he can in New Jersey
or Massachusetts,. This is what James
A. Garheld's election means for the
colored men.
Your people must help themselves.
God helps them who help them
selves The nation will help you,
the state will help you, and with
divine, national and state aid the
people will gradually eliminate that
prejudice which has SO long existed in
this country against the colored race.
During the rebellion, when men
seemed to be losing heart in the Bit
ter contest for national life, the ". Y
hqdePendenf published an able leading
editorial upon the situation, in which
were these words: "God and the Negro
must save the Republic The eman-
cipation proclamation of Mr.. Lincoln
came, and history has recorded what
part the negro took in the Salvation
of the Republic.
Do not falter now. The Republican
party is your political friend the
Democratic party now, as in the past,
your political enemy. Your race will
share in the glorious privileges guar
anteed by the Republican party to the
country. Those privileges will be as
lasting as the hills, because they are
rooted and grounded in the soil of
Justice, Right and Freedom.
Yours, &c,
CHAs. PLACE.

WE TO-DAY publish an interesting
letter from Hon. Charles Place, of
Somerset county. Mr.. Place was the
Republican nominee for Congress in
his district in 1874 and very materially
reduced the average Democratic ma
jority in that district. Like Mr..
Throckmorton, ne is member of the
Republican State Executive Commit
tee. The letters of both these gentle
men are important, not alone as indi-
vidual expressions of friendship for
the colored people (both of them
have been lifelong friends of the race,
but as indicative of Republican senti-
ment among I" the powers that be-

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.

The Senatorial fight begins to wax
warmer and warmer as the time for the
meeting of the Legislature draws
nearer.
Mr.. Potts, who could have the honor
if he wanted it, has for some unex-
planned reason refused to allow his
friends to urge his claims for the posi-
ton. South Jersey appears to be nearly
equally divided between General Sew
ell and Ex-Secretary Robson, al
though it is probable that Thos. H.
Dudley may develop some little
strength before the meeting of the
Legislature. The estate of Essex !"
comes into the field, as usual, with
three, and possibly four, candidates.
Of these Cortlandt Parker will proba-
bly, withdraw and leave the fight for
the control of the Essex delegation
to the Hon. George A. Halsey and
Ex-senator Frelinghuysen.
Among the other East Jersey "possi-
bilities are Senator Hobart, of Pas
sale, General Fitzpatrick, of Sussex,
Ex-Congressmen Clark, of Union, and
Hon. John Hill, of Morris. Even at
this early date, the friends of the
respective candidates are busily en-
gagged in endeavoring to show the
peculiar moral and intellectual fitness
of their particular man and the gene
raj rottenness and unworthiness of the
"other fellers." This general abuse
of Republicans by Republicans is
something altogether new in New Jer-
sey politics. 1t renders no one any
service and does the party very serious
injury. And again, this sort of argu-
ment usually acts very much like a
boomerang.

THE SYSTEM of postal savings banks
recommended by Postmaster-General
Maynard, while serviceable, would
really be outside of the domain of the
Post Office Department, but his sug-
gestions in relation to postal telegraphy
are both wise and timely. Postal tele-
graphy is something which the bust
ness interests of the country have
long demanded.

THE REVISED BIBLE.
THE QUESTION OF CoPyR1QHr.


The work of revising the Bible was begun ten
Years ago in England. The most learned Bibll-
cal scholars in the world have taken part tn it.
The result of their iabors is awaited with the
keenest interest in all civilized countries. It is
now announced that the revised New. Testament
has been printed and will soon DO giYen to: the
public The Important and interesting question
has been raised as to whether the work can be
protected by copyright in the United States OF
whether any publisher is free to reapu IL rich
harvest by reprinttng It without license: It ap-
pears that, while the revisers have worked With
out pay, all the expenses Of the revision have
oeen borne by Macmillan s. Co.. the authorized
punhshers, who have invested more than $780,
uo IN the undertaking. They will have a mo-
nopo4y OF tho publication in Great Britain, and,
OF course, are desirons OF, enjoying the same
