this city in the interest of trades
unions and the working people

ing manner of attacking injustice

fiicted upon the Negro-and its
hatred to the spirit of caste, makes
it a truly representative paper and
advocate of the workingmen.
We have no doubt but that
those silly snobs who left the Ma

cause of the admission of DR..

reasoning faculties, or anything

it would be exceedingly danger
Gus for the sick to have a prescrip-
ton compounded by them. A
list of their names should be OBJ
tanned and kept by the several
churches, societies, clubs, &C.,
composed of colored people in this

NIPPED IN THE BUD.

Inspector Entwisle, having pro-
fesslonally settled the false alarm
of the impending danger to valu-
able life by the delapidated con-
dition of the Stevens school build
ing, pronouncing it perfectly safe,
and good for some years toIcome,
we hope that the ''tempest in the
teapot" has quite subsidized, and
that children, parents, and teach
ers will dream of the ''bug-a-boo"
no longer. Does it not seem
strange that this alarming danger
was SO suddenly discovered. With
proper ventilation and renovation
the Stevens school is safe for it's
present use to the end of the pre-
ent generation. Whenever the
actual necessity for the erection of
a new edifice in its place presents
itself, and, if the name must be
changed, it must be selected from
the galaxy of honored and honor
able men among CUR race or the
phfIaithropic Of the other. The
names of Douglass, Lincoln, An
thony, Bowen. Garnet, Lovejoy,
must not be associated with names
suggestive Of things, low, sordid
and mean. The time for a
Brooks school must be deferred
for the possible development of
such misnamed humanity. Let

that Mr.. Rounds has made some great reforms
since he has had charge Of that Office. The

office, and free egreSs of the employees in case
of fire, is excellent. He recommends leaves
of absence with pay during the year to his
hard worked employees. His report shows
that for cloGll-work precision and manage

high standard has never before been reached.
In fact Mr.. Rounds sterling and business ca
pacity comes into as full play managing the
affairs of the Government as if it was pri-

The colored press throughout the country
is paying Hon. s. p. Rounds high compliments
for his fidelity to the coored employees of his

Cleveland Gazette, in its issue of last week,
has pen sketch of Hon. b. K. Bruce, with
his cut; and the editor also stated that pen

A majority of the students in the Ma

rificd at the admission of colored man
to the class that they made haste to leave

the election of such hide bound

better for the country and its loyal

BEE SIPPINGS.

When both parties, Republican
and Democratic recognize every
colored man in this country as a
man and a citizen, the idea Of
Independentism among them will
cease to grow.
If the Republican party intends
to keep its word with us that it is
our friend. every Northern and
Western Legislature as soon as it
re-convenes this winter should in
troduce and adopt a Civil Rights
Bill. Unless we greatly mistake
this Civil Rights Bill will prove to
the country who the friends of the
colored man are.
Reconstruction will remain a
failure, prejudice will be undated,
lawlessness will continue and po-
litical animosity will exist, until
the parties of this country can
learn that the Negro is a man an d
proposes to be so recognized.

FINED FOR AssAULTING A SCHOOL LEACH

Iaughton. a colored school teacher In the

also colored. with assaulting the teacher by
striking her on the eye because she punlshed

alone.
We are glad to note the action of Judge
Smell i'm the above case. The school trus-

for the low estimate placed upon school
teachers. The fact is that our teachers
have no protection from them. They are

THE SPEAKERSEIIP.

JUN VI. CdIllsle OI hentucky,
has been chosen speaker. So far
IS we are concerned, speaking
from political point, we had no
choice. How could we have ?
Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Randall, Mr..
Cox, and Mr.. Springer, have each
stood up in the house of represen-
tatives, and defended the mur-
derers of the south: they have
each in turn in their places, in the
representative hall of the nation,
said by their words and votes,
We approve Of the murder Of black
people IN the South, prOviding 1t soil
let the democratic party haze control."
SO on this score, voting all these
men by the way they have voted,
and acted in their official capacity,
We have no choice. We say
however, that each of them, lead
ers as they are, of their party, do
know, and have known that quite
ten thousand colored men have
been murdered in the south since
freedom, because they desired to,
and would vote the Republican
ticket, and yet not one of these
men has said to the murderers,
halt, stop, enough.
Carlisle has beaten Randall. The
bowie knife, shot gun, blood, more
blood, Hamburg massacre, Cam
lila riots, State house butchery,
the Mississippi death knell, the
death record at Danville, policy as
represented by Carlisle under the
direction of Phil. Thompson's re-
volver, and Blackburns jawbone,
and other true knights of worship
at the shrine of any kind of muir
der for political effect, that will
make the south solid for demo-
cracy. has prevailed. The little
lick spittle, northern second fd-
dlers, and northern copper
heads bowed down before their
southern masters, and no one
that is at all familiar with this
class need be surprised, for if
there be any one thing that they
do excel in, it is in playing
spooney, supe, and toadying to
the southern lords. There was
other than this that caused Car
Isle to beat Randall, (and Sam
Tilden also,) unless we add that
Carlisle is christian and gen.
tleman as that is meant in the
south, whereas on the other hand it
was never intended for his oppo-
nent to be much of either. The
tariff for revenue only, or any
other dodge, is not what Mr., Car
Isle went to victory on. The
south said, 1--WE have slaughtered
ten thousand republican negroes
to make it solid. We demand the
gavel. We intend to have it. "
And they got it. Did you hear
