Golnrad Editor's Views.

TIE following from the st. Joe advance
edited by colored man, is an interesting
expression of opinion on the civil rights
Question.
y As We said above, we believe the
civil rights bill was only passed as a bait
to catch the colored mans vote, and was
never intended to be enforced Congress
can't pass law giving man respecta
bility; man will command respect as he
deserves it. The colored man is entitled
10 the same rights as white man, which
any thinking colored man ought to be able
to see was fraud on its face, and only
intended to tickle and flatter the negroes
to secure their support. The negroes
have been voting the republicans into
power ever since we have had the right
Of suffrage, and we have received for our
party loyalty just such sweetened swill
as this civil rights bill
The course for the colored people to
pursue, in our judgment, is to maintain
our independence, cultivate habits of in
dustry, look well to the education and
culture of our children, and shun, as we
would rabid animal, every designing
politician or political party that seeks, by
soothing and seductive fiattery, to capture
he colored mans vote.
The colored people are interested more
in securing homes, churches, school houses,
comfortable clothing, books, .and the com
forts convenieuces and necessaries 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 democratic
party is our common enemy

Port Byron Junction there is small
washout
The Cannon Ball" was half an hour
late this morning, and the Peoria train
was held until Its arrival.
Conductor Thomas Fuller. of the Chi

was compelled to lay off on account of
sickness, will bring his train from Mil
waukee, as usual tonight.
A new regulation has taken place on
the A., 7. s. S. F., whereby the cOmpen-
sation of freight train employees is in
creased and made more in keeping with
the arduous duty they perform. The pay
of conductors has hitherto been $75 per
month, and that of brakemen $45. Under
the new arrangement conductors are to
receive the above amount for $500 miles
or less, and cents mile for all over
tnat. Brakemen are to get 2 cents mile
in addition to their monthly salary for all
distances over 2 800 miles, month. This
will give them considerable increase il
pay, as the average distance per month
now is about 3,5 90 miles.

Safe Robbed.

Mr.. J. G. Banes, proprietor of the Com,
mercial hotel, is $4S poorer now than he
was on Sunday evening. At that time
time there was S46 in money in the safe
at his office, and check for so on the
First National bank. His son acts in the
capacity of night clerk, and attwo O'Clock
on Monday morning he laid down on a
table near the safe and slept until four
o'clock He noticed nothing unusual at
She time, and did not discover that the
safe had been burglarized until later in
the morning, when he had occasion to
open it. He Immediately informed his
father of the fact, who remarked that
there was exactly S4S in cash in the safe
the night before. This was all gone, be-
sides check for $40 on the First Nation,
al bank Mr. Banes, in conversation with
an ARGUS reporter today, stated that the
theft must have occurred while his son
was sleeping, and that the person who
perpetrated itwas acquainted with the
combination, as he is positive the safe was
locked. He claims that only one other
person is acquainted with the day combi-
nation (Which is used unless there was a
large amount deposited and is certain
that he knows the guilty person. He con
graduates himself that there was not u
larger amount in the safe at the time, and
says that if the thief had made the raid a
few days previous, he would have been
better rewarded for his trouble

Old ChickamaWa

From the Commercial Gazette.
As we sat- one night in 1875, in the
ratty old editorial rooms of the Toledo
Democrat and Herald, of which Steedman
was leader writer and / managing editor,
| asked him for the story of Chickamauga
where he won his stars and the soldier
title of Old Chickamauga, of which he
was so proud. He told it as cody as if it
was dream to him.
Why my boy, there wasn't much to
it. l was in charge of the First division
of the reserve corps of the army of the
the Cumberland, and had been stationed
at Ringgold, or Redhouse bridge over the
Chickamaugs. My orders were explicit
to hold the bridge at all hazard, and TO
prevent the enemy from thanking Gen.
Thomas, The enemy disappeared from
our front The sound of cannonading
and battle to the northward told me that
the enemy had massed against our centre
and great battle was on From the
noise of conflict l Judged, and rightly,
that Thomas was sorely pressed. felt
that my command was needed and vet
could not understand the absence of the
new orders. / waited impatiently enough
from daylight till noon, hoping for some
word from my commanding officer. Fl
nally decided to risk my neck rather
than see the union army destroyed through
inactivity on my part. Calling council
of officers and men, Il explained the stu
alton, read my orders, told them my de
cision, and that on my shoulders should
fall whatever of responsibility attached
to the disobedience of orders. You know
the memorable emilitary law is to ask no
questions, obey all orders, and accept
consequences. knew that if my move
ment was failure, my Judgment mis-
taken, nothing less than courtmartial and
death awaited me. But the battle field
was on, and every fibre in me said was
wanted. We burned the bridge and
marched by the cannon's sound to Thorn
ass aid Through cornfields, thickets,
and oak woods we made fearful tramp
for no man in the command knew the
country, and our only guide was the
cam ons' boom. When reported to t.
he was in dispair at the loss of the
key to his position. which had just
been captured by Gen. Hindman's rebel
corps The place was indicated to me by
flash of guns and rustic of canister on
the dry leaves of the tree under which
Thomas and ! stood. 1t was steep as
cent, with a densely peopled crescent
ridge that lay before US. There was
forbidding thicket and an oak forest be-
tween us and the belt Of rocks that
marked the edge of broad plateau on
which the enemy was iubilant with victo-
ry. There, there, said Thomas, as the
guns flashed again. Now, yoa see their
exact position. You must take that ridge,
Ny reply was: Tlldo it. In thirty min
utes after we reached the field we were
storming the rock of Chickamauga. 1t
was an awful contest up that slope, every
foot of which was planted with death.
