political party that seeks, by soothing and
seductive fsttery, to capture the colored
mans vote. The colored people are inter
ested more in securing homes, churches,
school houses, comfortable clothing, books,
and the comforts, conveniences and neces-
sares of life, than they are in politics. We
have been held to be as completely the
common property of the Republican party
as we have been taught that the Demo-
cratic party is our common enemy.
For some time back the Republican
press of this district has held up its editori-
al hands in error at an alleged outrage that
masked white Democrats we're said to have
attempted to perpctrate upon several poor,
helpless negroes employed upon the farm of
a widow named Wakely, at Golden, and
Republican correspondents sent planning
specials and communications to the larger
Republican dslies in St, Louis and else
where, which published them under awful
headlines and noticed them at length edi-
torlaly. And now, all of sudden, it
transpires that the whole story is piece of
Republican falsehood, as lying Republi.
can lie as ever a Republican has lied Mr..
A. Dubois, Republican, but one of the
honest kind and editor of a Republican
paper published right in Golden, corIects
the story under the head Of "a false accusa-
ton" aud this in a communication TO the
GlObe-Democrat:--" your issue of the
18th you have short notice editorial in
which you do this town a very great injus
tice. In brief, you charge US with having
recently attempted to bull-doze some col.
ored men, and say such has been our prac.
tice since the war, Evidently you have
strayed into the wrong camp. Now for
facts. There are sixty colored voters in
Golden They have fine school building
erected by the taxpayers Of the town. A
six months school with a white teacher is
maintained for them at the public expense
They have two organized churches with
two colored pastors, and have coored
Odd Fellows lodge, with over forty mem
bers. There is not town in the state in
which the colored peoples right of citizen
ship are more strictly observed than in
Golden, no instance having ever occurred
here in which colored man has complain
ed Of rights, political, or social, being De,
MED him. A town that casts Republican
majority vote at every election, and grows
and ships more fruit than any other town in
the west Is not likely to be of that grade Of
intelligence that is famous for drawing the
color line" And in conclusion be says, "if
the information on which your article was
based, was obtained from any of your cor
respondents, advise you for toe credit of
the Globe Democrat, which has deserved
ly large circulation in this region to drop
them and employ such as can discriminate
between fact and fancy"

The fol owing from the st. Joe Adj
vance, edited by a colored man, is an in
teresting expression of opinion on the civil
rights question: - las we said above,
we believe the civil rights bill was only
passed as a bait to catch tue colored man s
vote, and was never intended to be en-
forced. Congress can't pass law giving
man responsibility; man will command
respect as he deserves it. The colored man
is entitled to the same rights as white
man, and no more, aud that is all the
rights he ought to ask. The civil rights
bill purported to give him more rights
than the white man, which any thinking
colored man ought to be able to see WAS q
fraud on Its face, and only intended to
tickle and fatter the negroes to secure
their support. The negroes have been vot.
ing the Republicans into power ever since
we have had the right of suffrage, and we
have received for our party loyalty just
such sweetened swll as this civil rights
bill. The course for the colored people to
pursue, in our judgment, is to maintain our
independence, cultivate habits of industry.
