selves to vote the readjuster ticket and the s,,-

Thus, in order to prostitute the functions OF

The Estate Of the late John folly Johns IN Court
Again.

In the Orphans Court for Baltimore Co..
yesterday, the matter Of the personal estate
of the late John Tolly Johns, was up on
petition filed BY Mrs. Annie r. Caldwell
niece of the late Mr.. Johns, praying for the
sale of the personal property The petition
alleges that portion of the personal estate
was IN possession OF John Johns, jr., one Of
the beneliciarcs under the contested will
ana who was using it rs if it was his own
property; that he, John Johns, ir., had
caused to be killed a COW and some
pigs, and had sold u bull from the Dover
farm, on which he resided, and made
no returns to the administrators. The ne
tition prayed the court to pass an order re-
CURING II. Y. ID. Johns and Mrs Sarah W.
Hodges, the administrators, to dispose of the
personal property, such as horses, cows, pigs,
furniture, bonds and stocks. A supplement
tary petition alleges that claims amounting
TO $3.50 have passed against the estate, and
that there are $1,000 of claims not vet pass
Ell on that the interest on a $4,000 mort
gage is about to fall due, and that the per-
sonar estate is not sufficient to pay the debts
otthe estate, exclusive of the mortgage in
terest, which is considered cause for the sale
OF hepersonal property to save the real es-
tate.
Mrs. Hodges, one of the administrators, an
swered by admitting the facts in the petit
tlon, and asked the court to order the sale
and require report Of it. John Johns in
his answer denied the allegation of the peti-
ton, and claimed that his son, John Tolly
Johns, owns the personal property on the.
Dover estate. He admits there are claims
against the estate, but says the personal
property will pay them. The court passed
an order that the personal property be sold,
the costs to be paid out of the funds of the
estate; Henry V. D. Johns, the executor
named in the paper purporting to be the
will OF John Tolly Johns, took an appeal to
the Court of Appeals. and John Johns also
entered an appeal claiming to be a legatec
under the will, and interested in the pro-
ceedlngs.-Bdltimore San of to-dnu.

HERE'S WHAT the New York Herald,
which, according to Gen. Mahonc's home
organ, is "a national journal, and the prin-
cipal organ of impartial and independent
public opinion in America" says of political
bosses like Malone:
IF any one wishes to defend bosses with.
out losing his own reputation let him de-
clare his honest belief TO be that the people
are unfit TO choose their own rulers, that Il
few men who have taste for governing
should be allowed to fight among themselves
for Office, and that their expenses should be
met by the distribution of all non-clective
offices among their hcelers' and other mer-
cenarics. Such theory OF politics has been
held by some people in all countries and in
all ages; i. is the only theory on which any
American political boss acts, and to make
any claim TO the contrary is to make the
claimant disngcuuolls and dangerous in the
eyes of all intelligent people"

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, oCTR. 10, 1882.

The CoLoRED people all over the North
are cutting loose from the republican party,
which, they have at last got sense enough
to learn has been, and is, only processing
special regard for their welfare in order to
obtain their votes, and which, having at
tanned that object, has no more use for them
until the next election. The pastor of one
of the largest colorcd churches in New York:
in Il sermon he preached last Sunday night,
in speaking of the republicans Of that city,
said
In business they ignore us. In politics
they treat us a. slaves, and nominate cam
didates by fair and by foul means, and ex-
poet us to support them, as matter OF
course. Only last evening had a gentle
man of local political distinction come to me
at the parsonage and hand me written
notice OF u meeting at Cooper Institute. My
name is on it as speaker with Mr. Langston
and Mr.. Lynch. at a Folger meeting. No
question was asked as to my opinion touch
ing the present political issues; but, being
Il negro, |, as a matterof course, am expect
ed to support the regular Republican can
didate no matter if his nomination was con-
ceived in error and brought forth in fraud.
And SO we are all treated in politics as in
business-as mere ciphers.'
He said his race had more than repaid
the debt they owed the republican party,
and that they did not intended to remain
slaves Of political bosses any longer; that the
acknowledgements of the freedman was to use
his vote. bat to-day the negro, viewing
the record Of the republican party in the
spirit of philosophical reflection, is no longer
bound by gratitude falsely so-called-by a
sickly sentimentalism. To-day we are pro.
crossing rapidly to where we give" our sup
port to only that party that stands not only
for justice and political equality between
man and man, but which gives by its char
acter ami acts the earnest of good and eco
nomical government" This is the way the
intelligent and thrifty colored people
throughout the North and West are talk
ing. 1t is only in the South, where the
great majority Of them are ignorant, lazy
and worthless, that they follow, Is sheep do
their bcll-wether, any white dcmagogue
who, like General Malone, tells them he
farors the obliteration of all race dislinc-
lions
