TAE COLORED PEOPLE AND lhN
COMET.

A paragraph recently puoilsheu II
the State of this city has gone th3 T,
rounds of the press OF the cOuhtf!
and even such usually well informed
journals as the New York Times and
others regard it as being a serious
statement. We would not have no.
ticed it, believing it to proceed from
the fertile imagination OF some sun
struck reporter, but since it has been
paraded up and down the country as
an accurate description of the feel
lngs of our people regarding the
appearance OF the comet, we proceed
to make few statements.
The first is, that no factory in the
city has been compelled to stop work
on account of the religious terror
among the hands as stated in the
Leader. The State OF July 9th'
says 'large numbers of the factory
hands are Citing, religion Now,

comet The recent revival of relig
ION in our midst began and endet
> long before the comets visit, and /
not at all attributable to it, since non
of us astronomers included) knew
it's arrival until it became visible.
Our second statement is that 4
people on earth seemed so indltferel
TO the comet as the colored peop
of this city. During the time 1T W

sions went from Richmond, carrylr
total of about eight or ten tho

A week or two ago, a dispatch from
neutrality-suspicious. in the New York
Sun, charged Blaine with being inn
plicated in the Star Route swindles,
and said that his visit to New York
was for the purpose of fixing up things
connected with the fraud. Now, it is
said that the dispatch has been traced
to members of the Star Route Ring.
What benefit they expected to derive
from their attempt tc make it appear
that the Secretary was implicated in
the frauds, is not known. The Attor-
ney General is reported as saying that
there is no reason whatever to suspect
that Blaine is in any manner whatever
connected with the Star Route swindles,
aud it is thought he will expose the
authorship Of the dispatch sent to the
Sun, as one of the features of the con-.
$ piracy. ~ s
