ALL RIGHT NOW.

We regret very much that we
have ever had cause to put ourself
in an unpleasant attitude, and have
been looked upon as in opposition to
the interests of our own race. We
do not claim to be invaluable, we are
liable to commit errors, and of
course do commit errors very often.
We trust all the errors we commit
will be looked upon as errors of the
head and not of the heart. As we
have often said before, it is, and shall
be our intention to labor for the
good of our race. In doing SO we
cannot follow at all times, and when
We do follow we would like to know
that the judgment of the persons
whom we follow is better than our
own.
We have just passed through a
heated campaign. The result is
now known to the world. Mistakes
are very easily seen now, when
they cannot be remedied. Let US
now turn on the bright side of the
picture, since the days seem dark
and our hearts are heavy from the
weight Of defeat. We would have
rejoiced to see bourbon democracy
defeated in all parts of the country,
but it is clearly seen by all now
that the proper steps were not ta-
ken in this county and State TO

WHAT 1T TEACHES.

The result of the recent election
in North Carolina teaches us some
very important lessons. But then,
have we not been taught the same
lessons before ? If SO why have we
not been profted by them.
One thing we are taught is, that
prohibition has not divided the dem
ocratic party as bad as the republi-
can party. That democracy is much
stronger in North Carolina than pro-
hibition. That the masses have not
confidence in the men who attempt
ed to lead them in this campaign.
That the greatest mistake made was
the giving up of party principles
and casting off our best men and
putting in their stead inexperienced
men-men who are not known out
side of their own counties.
1t teaches us that men who have
been ostracised and prosecuted for
the sake of the principles of the
great old party and have carried
her to victory should not be entire
ly ignored and that their opinions
es us also that every party, to live,
must have principle based upon
moral right. 1t teaches us that the
leaders in this campaign were in
competent, especially when it comes
down to local affairs. 1t is a forci-
Bile repetition of that often taught
lesson that mass of inexperienced
uneducated men cannot successfully
cope with the shrewdest and cul-
tured though they be few. 1t teach
es us that there are some things in
which our best experienced and cul-
tured men must come to the front.
That there are some places which
absolutely require learning in let
tiers. In short that our young men
must come to the front.

THE ELECTION.

The democrats claim a regular
Waterloo. We are not ready to
give up all hopes yet. We do not
think it so bad as they say, though
reliable reports come very slow. We
think there is still chance for us
to hold Congress. We have lost
many members in the North and
West, and gained several in the
South. Among these we have two
or three colored men. O'Hara is
elected without opposition, and
Lynch of Mississippi stands well
for a seat.
The democrats claim this State
by ten thousand. New York gives
10000 democratic majority. Old

600, and elects Ben Butler Cover.

bring about this result. We did
not like to say so, but we saw some
weeks ago that more Republican
votes were to be lost in this county,
than would be made up by the lib
erals. We are all forced to admit it
now. Two years ago we needed to
change less than fifty votes to carry
this county. But the brightest
thought now is, this is not the last
time, and we hope to be right and
altogether in the next election. We
are still hopeful, and realize that we
have a very important work before
us, and shall do it the best we know
how, and we ask the kind assist
ance of all lovers ofpeace and pros
perity and friends to the colored
race. Our work is in the general
upbuilding of our people in their
morals, intellect, and in acquiring
property. We are glad the election
is over, but deplore the result.

THE COLOR LINE.
In the Columbian Law School.

A meeting of the students of the
Columbia Law School was held in
the Columbia Law building Monday
evening to take action in regard to
the presence of a colored student,
Mr.. S, L. Williams, graduate of
Ann Arbor University and mem
Der of the junior class in the law
school. For some time past a clique,
who considered themselves atfronted
by Mr.. Williams being allowed to
remaia, in the school, have been agt-
-----1iSIo.-o- 1sYJvvV, ..a,u UtIIo InO0tfnE
was called to settle the question.
There was a very full attendance of
students, and an organization was
had by calling Mr.. William Land
voight to the chair. A resolution was
introduced, which, after a frothy pre-
amble, closed with the resolve "that
a committee of three be appointed
to wait upon the faculty Of the insti-
tuition and request the expulsion Of
the negro from the University"
This was supported by an old-fash-
Toned, ante-bellum speech from one
of the disgruntled.
JUST HERE THE SENSIBLE MAJORITY
of those present took hold of the
case, and a substitute was offered
reciting that "the negro by his gen.
tlemanly conduct and excellent abil-
ity was entitled to seat in Column
bia or any other college," Amid a
storm of applause and cheers the
substitute was adopted without a.
dissenting vote, much to the dis
gust of the two or three scions of
first families who had been anxious
to secure different action. Then
the cautery was applied by the
adoption of a motion that such stu
dents as were afraid to compete in
tellectually with the colored stu
dent had best seek a school where
they would be in the midst of their
peers. This was a settler, and the
of color line found them
selves fattened out thin by the Wig
orous manner in which their petty
scheme
HAD BEEN SAT DOWN UPON.
1t is proper TO state that nearly all
the students in the Columbia law
school have arrived at mans estate,
many of them being voters in the
States in which they reside, and
hence their action has much more
weight than would be accorded to
the deliberations of lot of school
boys. After the summary manner
in which the race issue was disposed
of by them it is not probable that it |
will again crop out in Columbia law
school. Il may also be said that
Mr.. Williams color, speaking homo
eopathically, has been attenustOd to |
a degree that requires that extra
sensitiveness only to be found In

Republicans simply rest on their
arms in North Carolina. They are
not defeated. They laugh at the
liberal defeat and will be prepared
for the democrats in '84, under the
leadership Of the republicans who
made the party and have stood by
it and suffered for it. The masses
now see the folly Of deserving their
true leaders.

a Taciturn Governors ways of Life
Nothing to say About the Blind

a Taciturn Governors ways of Life
Nothing to say About the Blind
Pool.
No summer sojourner III Saratoga
leads quieter life than Governor AL
ONO B. Cornell. He lives in cottage
IL, about at the middle of the long row
belonging to the United States Hotel,
and takes his meals in the general din
ing room. Except at meal time guests
of the house rarely see him. He min
giles little with the throngs on the bal
comics, and there are few visitors at the
cottage. He goes to Albany about
twice d week, down and back on the
same day. Nearly every other day he
goes out to the races, of which he is
very fond. In the early evening he
often plays game or two of billiards
with his two young sons in the United
States billiard room, and then returns
to MS cottage, in front of which he sits
in solitude for hours at time. The
other Sunday he sat alone at one end
of the United States balcony for fully
two hours without speaking or hardly
moving muscle. He usually has the
stub of Il half-burnt cigar between his
fingers. He is a slow smoker, and not
great consumer of cigars.
The likeness of the governor to Grant
in manners is frequently spoken of
Mr.. Cornell's silence and solitude are
not owing to mooGiness. He never has
moods. He is always cool, imperturb-
able and unrutfled. His reticence, even
in intercourse with those who in a
measure have his confidence, is ex-
treme OF his political hopes and fears
and entanglements he will say nothing.
On general topics that do not touch on
his personality he will talk by the hour
when he has leisure. His information
is varied, and his conversation is ami
mated and interesting.
To outward seeming he is the most
unconcerned man at the Springs over
the very serious charges affecting his
integrity in the blind pool transa elton.
Visitors eyed him curiously as he
walked along the balcony when the
charges of MS double dealing first aD-
peared, to see if he gave any sign of
disturbance, but mis- immobile counte-
nance gave no token. To visitor who
asked him if he would make any
statement concerning the charges, he
reflied coldly: "No, sir. have nothing
to say; Eo:hing whatever" Then, with
a more cordial manner, ne invited the
visitor to be seated, and talked freely
with him for an hour on other topics.
He carefully led the subject to distant
fields every time an approach was at
tempted to the subject Of the blind
pool.
There are 40 signs of political strife
about Cornell cottage. Politicians are
rarely seen there, and no sign or move
ment indicates what ali shrewd %.
servers declare, that the crisis of his
political career is at hand.

Young Mr.. G0uld'S Theater Box,

Jay Gould owns the grand opera
house, and his son George, is to be as
sociated with Mr.. Abby in the manage
ment Young Mr.. Gould means to
make the business enjoyable, at all
events. The right-hand lower box, as
you face the stage, is transformed in
to Il sanctum for him. 1t has been is
ISOLATE by shutting off the passage to the
box above, which IL now entered from
the gallery A door is cut through the
wall of the building into what former
ly was yard. but is now built up to
contain a parlor, a dining room, a re
ception room, all beautifully frescoed,
and to be gorgeously furnished. These
apartments are accessible by 4 back
way from Twenty fourth street, so that
Mr.. Gould and his friends can get in
and out without mixing with the audi
ence, though they will be in danger of
encountering the performance. 1t is
understood thst the dinners will not be
prepared on the premises, but will be
sent III from restaurant. The box
opens also on passage leading to the
stage, back of which is the largest
green room in the country. In the
vestive days of Jim Fisk this apart
ment was gayly peopied by the women
of opera boutfe, who assembled there
when not actually employed in the
performances, and made brave show
with their beauty and costumes. The
hall, big enough to hold 200 persons, has
since been devoted chiefly to the stor-
age of scenery and properties, until it
was cleared and painted by order of
Mr.. Gould, who will have it carpeted,
decorated, and furnished dazzingly.
He evidently believes in revival OF
the green room, whatever may be lis
idea about the rest of the drama.

"Why, Dunstan,'' exclaimed Mr..
Hayward, before Pet had sufficient
time to introduce him, where did you
come across the children?"
''In the berry-patch," said he, with
the utmost nonchalance, while over
Pets face swept look of consterna-
ton.

man be the grand parsonage whom her
sister was to marry?
eff that's Mr.. Dunstan Kirk, Celia's

he was glad he had tongue, after all,
and that he knew how to use it the day

He spends the greater part OF his
time at Dunstan Hall, with his favorite
sister and her "joily husband" as he
calls Mr.. Dunstan, while Celia, with
another year added to her age, is still
cultivating every means of fascination,
in the hope of finally securing hus-
band.
