Before the next issue Of this paper
shall have reached its subscribers the del
egation Of colored gentlemen from North
Carolina will have called upon His Excel
lency James Abraham Garfield, and laid
before him the many grievances that we
complain Of as colored citizens Of North
Carolina and of the entire Union.
1t has been suggested by A. P. Hol.
land, ESQ.,, that the Board Of Aldermen
should have passed law to compel every
man in Goldsboro that does not pay taxes
on $500 worth Of property to
wear collar and badge, in order that
worthy citizens and passers-by might
know that Goldsboro is city Of distiac~
ton. Dock deserves the key.
We are informed by reliable gentle
man in the Post Office department Of the
Government, that three-fourths Of the
Post Masters in North Carolina are Dem
ocrats. How does this sound to the col
ored Republicans who have always voted
faithfully with the party. We imagine
that it falls with thud. The reason Of
this is, "a Democrat rather than Ne.
gro," but unless Garfeld's back is weak
somebody I'll have to walk Uncle Sans
plank before another quarter, "and don't
you forget it" either.
"A grand excursion in behalf of the
Caswell Monument, passed through this
city last Tuesday en- route for Morehead
City. The fare for the round trip was the
usual excursion rates. The venerable old
Governor must have ''turned over" in his
sleep" to see the enthusiasm displayed
in the Monument cause. We counted
the passengers (?) getting aboard at this
point and found that exactly four (4)
'excusred their enthusia SIN. Of these
four--two were of the ''dead-head" fra
ternity and two paying passengers. A
George the Third" excursion would, in
our opinion, do much worse than that
Let's try it !!
We clip from the Messenger the fol-
lowing:
