Poor Accommodation
Fer Colored People at the Opera
House.
HUNTSVILLE, March 9, 188

HUNTSVILLE, March 9, 1882.
EDITOR GAzErrE, Si,:
was fool enough few evenings
ago to attend an entertainment at the
Opera House in company with a lady.
Knowing, as I did, the poor accommo-
dation for colored persons at this hall,
I repeat that it wAs silly in me to 70
there. The most re6sed and intelli-
gent lady or gentleman, if he or she
happens to have dark skin, is re-
quired to 60 in the gallery in COM
pany with roughs, rowdies, and the
most degraded class Of white women,
who ere forbidden to sit among ladies
and gentlemen Of their own race.
The poor colored man and woman
who works night and day to make an
honest living and to educate their
children, are forced, with theiz daugh-
ters. into the company Of this class Of
white and colored sosiety.
If the owners and managers of our
public halls continne this injustice OIL
account of color, no Negro should en-
courage such an outrage of right and
justice by patronizing the theatres
where it is done.
Most Of the white churches aere are
frequently visited by colored people
who sit on the same floor with their
white brethren and sisters I~know
that We have been invited to visit
some Of these churches and yet the
privilege .has never been abused in
any way. | fail to see why the sans
principle Of humanity and right should
not be carried out at the theatre rs in
the church of God. The seats in the
gallery of our city hall, unlike those in
many others, are very uncomfor rtable.
being rude benches without backs to
them.
The men who force ladies who 20 to
the Hall, in such plsce and in ssch
company. as is always found there,
ought to blush with shame for so do
ing; and the colored man who will
carry . lady in such place volunta.
rily, does not deserve her respect.
Yours truly,
JUSTICE.

COiOred Journal,

now, as heretofore, it demands equal rights
and fair play for all men in the race of
life. 1t bases its demands on the plea Of
justice and appeals to the fair Judgment,
reason and conscience of good people, to
redress wrongs and prejudices which inno-
cent brethren are made to suffer because of
race connections. Giving to the colored
citizen all his civil and political rights is
no favor placing him under obligations,
but simple act of justice, restoring to
him that which is his by his BIRTHRIGHr AS
MAN. The GAZETTE is too fair not TO
admit the black mans inferiority in as-
quired knowledge, culture, and refinement
OF the world, but it is bold enough to hold
to the truth that, naturally, he Is the peer of
the proudest of the human family in the
highest and noblest attributes OF the INTEL
lect, mind and soul. TO argue the truth Of
this fact requires oondescention too
low for a Negro to stoop. To advocate,
appeal and demand for him an equal chance
for the development of his talents in the
world of science. literature, art, commerce.
and the affairs of life generally, is high
Christian duty and special province Of
this journal. Great progress has been
made toward this end IN the last decade,
and we look forward to the day when
broadened and enlightened opinion shall
completely liberate the Negro from the
wrongs inflicted upon him by prejudices,
and every man shall be measured accord
ing to his worth and merit. To hasten
forward this time the GAZETTE will lend its
best energies and talent, fostering kindly
feelings between the races as an Important
factor to its realization.
Its weekly report Of important colored
news gathered from all parts OF the world

Lieutenant C. A. Longfellow fell, shot
through the body, at the side of General

dead on the field, and for years had
supposed he was dead. But in the ac,
count of the funeral of the poet Long
fellow, he noticed among the names OF
those present c. A. Longfellow He
wrote asking if this c. A. Longfellow
could possibly be his old comrade of the
Mine Run campaign. c. A. Longfellow
is none other than the Lieutenant Long,
fellow shot down in Virginia corps
April 81, and he proposes, moreover,
when the bitterness of his present affiic-
