Senator Brown, of Georgia, does not think his party has acted wisely in trying to pre- vent the passage of tariff bill during the present session He thinks the tariff is des- tined to be controlling issue in politics, and for that reason he had hoped that the Demo crats would be quiet and let the Republicans pass any bill that suited them. For, he says:
 fsThey cannot possibly pass one that will satisfy the people, and every blunder they make will diminish their popularity. Then we could point the people to the Republican party and say they did it. If you want it changed you must trust the Democracy. am sure we can and would pass more equi- table bill than they will. But now suppose we worry along and prevent the passage of bill Why then when the next Congress convenes the Democrats will have the major

The Peoples Entertainment Society is do- ing good work in England. This society consists of cultivated and wealthy gentlemen and ladies, who unite to give concerts and similar entertainments of high order to the working classes at prices which are within their means Concerts consisting of vocal and instrumental performances by accom- plished amateur musicians and even elabo- rate orchestral and choral works are given in convenient halls at prices ranging from three pence to six pence, and are highly appreci ated by the audiences, affording them not only wholesome entertainment, but cultivat- ing better appreciation of art and music The audiences are very large, averaging more than two thousand in Birmingham, and are composed almost entirely of the working classes, who are not only quick to appreciate the beauty or the pathos of simple ballad or air, but who show rapidly growing taste for more elaborate and difficult music.

DEFENDING THE NEGRO,
what CoIored Pastor Has to Say in De-
Tense of His Race.

Tense of His Race.
The Rev. l.. g. Gordon sends the follow
ing reply to Mr.. Kendalls structures on the
negro
To the Editors Of the LtGHr
SAN ANTONIO, August 10, 1881, is
so very strange that while the negro all over
this great land Of ours is striving to acquire
wealth and education, that sore heads like
Mr.. X. J. Kendall are always growing and
looking up all the ugly things that the baser
kind Of our race does to herald them to the
world. We ask the kind writer why not speak
Of Hon Bruce, Douglass, Greener, Lynch
and other prominent men Of our race' To
show that the negro has more sense than Mr..
Kendall it is only necessary to see that he never
measures the white race by the horse thieves
and other degraded persons Of the race. The
gentleman said instead Of finding a brother
and man in the negro he found him like an
animal. The negro has served as lawyer,
doctor, soldier etc; it has been proved that he
(the negro) can learn as fast as any other
race on earth. The negro learns to read,
write and love the pleasant things of life as
well as Mr.. Kendall. II he 1.-THE negro) is an
animal, so is Mr.. Kendall, because the negro
walks upright loves aud hates, Just as Ken
dali does. II the negro continues to acquire
wealth, education, and the better class of
whites continue opening their friendly hands
to them, within a few years more they will
make turn coats hop. The white and col
ored people Of this county have put the past
in the past and we are preparing to climb the
hill OF life as best we can. II seems that our
good Northern don't like 1t; be d rather see the
races at war. We have our homes and fami.
lies here and can't afford 10 fight each other.
II the gentleman wants to learn to fight, 90
fight the Indians, who want to fight The
Southern people do not care to do
so. Mr.. Kendall may ask the
most devout Democrat Of the State Of Texas
about loahng negro women and children,
and they will tell him there are some as intel
ligent coored ladies as any of his female rela-
tves. Mr.. Kendall can meet negroes IN the
colored convention in Louisville, KY, or even
in Texas, who will down him as an orator,
statesman, writer, or as a gentleman. The
neg has ever proven a charitable hearted
friend and will to-day help his white brother
very often before one Of his race. The col
ured people rather such persons who
try to stir up con usion between the races
would say North or some other place. The
gentleman was a Republican while in the
North. and Democrat while in the South.
Like the bat. he is neither one nor the other,
but a man who Ill honest men, white OF col
ored, needs to watch. Respectfully.
L. G JORDAN, Colored Pastor.

A BoardIng House wight.

Mike Flaherty appeared in the Recorders
court this morning to answer a charge made
against him for assaulting r. A. Williams and
Mrs. I. L. Snowder. Williams kept board
ing house, where Mike came in to get some
lunch; being at the time rather worse for
liquor, he used some disgraceful language
Williams told him to stop it, but Mike de-
clined, and Williams made for him. Mrs.
Snowder then interviewed, but Mike knocked
her down and left the house. Officer Brown
arrived on the scene of action when Mike
showed fight and swore he would knock down
any policeman who attempted to arrest him.
On this Brown blew his whistle, when Coy
and Tailor Chloe came up, and Flaherty, after
good deal of trouble was deposited in the
bat cave. lie was fined $40.

His brother Henry had a buggy there, but
Charles has no properly whatever at their

horse to 60 to The San Pedro springs, saying
he would return in an hour. He skipped and
was not heard of until arrested at Junction

offence,
