MONEY AT THE BOTTOM

In another column will be found a
highly interesting letter from Mr.. R.
c. o. Benjamin, editor of the ColoTed
Citizen, an Independent journal pub
lished at Pittsburg, Pa. Mr.. Benjamin
is lawyer and is at present in Wash
ington on important private business.
He called in to see us and naturally
spoke of the Independent movement
among the colored people and its re-
sulting in our arrest for libel by the
Hon. Robert Purvis. Mr.. Benjamin
then told us that Robert Purvis and
other gentlemen named in his letter
and himself were associated together
and We're the prime movers in the In
dependent party among the colored
people, and that each and every one Of
them was fully cognizant of all the
political trickery and devices practiced
by the Independents and Democrats to
secure the colored vote and mislead
the negro, and that he Puryis as well
as the rest allowed his great name to
be used for the purposes aforesaid.
That he put his name to circulars,
went into Democratic caucuses and all
that sort Of thing. Mr. Benjamin says
of Mr.. Paryis that though he was
thoroughly identified with the In
dependents he was not a good one, for
on different occasions when they were
billed to speak at certain places in the
interest of the Independents Chester,
Pa, for instance) he Purvis got scared
and backed down-afraid to 60 because
he heard the colored people were going
to throw rotten eggs at him. Mr..
Benjamin SAYS the whole thing was a
matter Of loaves and ishes-yes, worse
than that-it was pure matter of
dollars and cents with the majority of
the so-called colored Independents aud
that Bro. Purvis is only kicking up
now to create sympathy while he
tries to crawl his way back into the
Republican camp. We say unto Bro
Puryis, he need not worry himself about
coming back into the Republican party
for both the Freedmen's Bank and the
party are getting along very well with
out him.

HON. MELVIN c. GEORGE.

There is perhaps no member of Con-
greSs who has the confidence of their
constituents more than Hon. Melvin
c. George, of Portland, Oregon. He
is a wise legislator, and has held
some very important positions in the
State of which he has the honor to
represent. Mr.. George was in Noble
county, Ohio, May 13, 1S49, was edu-
Gated at the Sartiam Academy and the
Willmetta University in Oregon :
studied law and was admitted to the
bar; commenced the practice of law
in Portland in 1877; was elected State
Senator from Multnomah District for
four years received all the votes of
the Republican Senators for President
of the State Senate at the biennial ses-
sion of 1873, and was elected to the
Forty-Seventh Congress as a Repub-
lican, receiving 1858 votes against
Is, Isl votes for Whitaker, Democrat ;
and 301 votes for Sears, Greenbacker :
and was reelected to the Forty Eighth
Congress" Mr.. George is a staunch
Republican and true friend to the
colored race. We shall in the near
future speak more elaborately of this
gentleman.

SERGEANT-AT-ARMS,

If Captain William 2. Canady, of
Wilmington, n. c., should be elected to
the position of Sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate, there will be in that position
one of the strongest and best pieces of
timber that has been hewed out of the
South since the formation and or
ganization of the Republican party.
If there is any individual in the old

They fear him as an organizer; abrave

more real backing and influence, so far
as legitemate following can count,
than any other man in the State. II
there is any such thing as man taking

A SHAME.

In another column will be found a
letter sighed by Veritas, in which he
severely criticise negro members of
Congress, andmen of influence for their
short comings, derelictions of duty and
their peculiar characteristics, which
criticisms we are sorry to say, are not
wholly unjust, for it is fact and an
undeniable fact that negros Of influence
and members Of Congress, are afraid to
demand their rightful share of the Re
publican patronage, and that when
they do get few crumbs intended eS-
pecially for negroes, those leaders in
stead of giving it is intended by the
Administration to be given, they dole it
out to a parcel of broken down and

social recognition, 1t is true there are

WHEN Robert Purvis endorsed the
Robson circular and condemned the
movement in Virginia, led by Hon.
VIM. Malone, he hardly thought that
he was enslaving the negroes in Penn

iberating them from the shackles of
slavery under Bourbonism. Senator
Malone has proved himself friend to

HIS EDITORIAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF
r. C. o. BENJAMIN, ESQ, AND THE
INDEPENDENT LEADERS, NAMELY,
PURvIs, AND STILL.
The article of Mr.. r. C. 0. Benjamin,
the able editor of the Pittsburg Colored
Citizen, found in another column, is a
remarkably forcible presentation of
the issues as they now exist in Penn
sylvania. Indeed, Mr.. Benjamin.
arraignment of the Cameron bossism
is a masterpiece, and must delight the
heart of the able editor of the Phila-
delphia Times, who has proved him
self so valiant in defense of the peoples
rights. The columns Of the Globe are
always open to SO pointed writer as
the editor of the Citizen. When such
able men of the race as Mr. William
Still, Mr.. Robert Purvis and Mr.. r. G.
o. Benjamin oppose such corruption
and mismanagement of the party as
have resulted from Mr.. Cameron's
rule, we cannot for the life of us ex,
plain the knucle-close policy of the
able editor of our esteemed contempor-
ary the Christian Recorder. 1t ap.
pears to us that he must be "experi-
menting" with evil in the hope that
good will result. There is but one
effective way of dealing with mis-
creants, and that is to crush them out
Compromise with villiany is a sacrifice
of dignity. 1t does not become honest

ruption in any shape, and much less

understood.-Ne1oY York Globe, October
14th, 1882.
The above editorial is from the pen
of P. Thomas Fortune of the New
York Globe. The Globe was and is the

THE CITY RAILWAYS AGAIN.

1t may be said that there are plenty
of men who will gladly supply the
places Of any who do not wish en-
ployment under the present conditions.
This is undoubtedly true. But the
man who chooses bet veen hunger for
himself and his family and hours Of
labor destructive of health and life is,
after all, but a victim to sort of in
voluntary servitude. The use of the
public streets has been granted to the
street car corporations on certain con-
ditions subject to amendment. 1t is
perfectly competent for congress to re-
quire that no public franchise shall be
enjoyed 10y any company or individual
which exacts more hours of labor or
permits more to be rendered than are
consistent with the laws of health.
Then if, as an offset, the pay Of con-
ductors and drivers is cut down, in
order that fat dividends, far in excess
of the fair demands of the investments,
may be enjoyed, reduction of fares
to the same extent could be made. As
in adjusting tariff, so in granting
profitable franchises, legislation should,
when practicable, flavor American
labor" The overworked car drivers
and conductors in all the cities are
much better entitled to the sympathy
of the public than many classes upon
which it is expended.
Last December the BEE took ground
for the very identical thing that the
above extract from an editorial in the
Republican now suggests should be
made mandatory law. We take the
cause Of the overworked (white) driv-
ers and conductors, because they are
men, and while they, as ia class, have no

TRUE REPUBLICANISM.

HON. FRED. DOUGLASS TO THE HON.
A. NJ. CLAPP AND GEN. E. W. WHIT
AKER.
During the heated campaign of 1882,
when everything was doubtful for Re-
publican success, and when Pennsyl-
vania, New York and other States were
full of political demagogues, Gen. E.
w. Whitaker was doing his utmost to.
bring about Republican success, sent
the following letter to the District
Republicans, among some Of the most
prominent, Hon. Frederick Douglass,
received one
Republican Central Committee Of the
District Of Columbia.
|. WASHINGTON, October, 16, 1882.
Dear Sir:-Your name has been
furnished tbs committee as that of a
public-spirited citizen who fully be-
lieves in the principles of the Repub-
lican party, and one likely to aid cheer
fully, by all honorable ways, in ex-
llS I'LL
Although at present deprived of the
elective franchise, the district has two
votes in the National n dominating Con-
ventiOn of the party and one vote in
| the National Committee.
All recognize the Importance of
assisting in the election of the candi-
dates for Congress in the Eighth Vir-
ginia and Fifth and Sixth Maryland
Districts who are in accord with the
liberal and wise national policy of the
administration, and sufficiently familiar
with the interests of our community
to legislate intelligently and literally
on district matters. The National
Congressional Committee has accepted
our formal tender of assistance in the
several adjacent districts in the cam
paign now opening.
The result is all-import to our inter
ests, involving, as it does, the question
of liberal appropriations for the i'm
provement of streets, the reclamation
of the Potomac flats, the completion
of the Washington Aqeduct, also
needed legislation for the equitable ad-
justment of taxation and settlement
of outstanding claims. The District
of Columbia is, politically, subdivided
into twenty-five separate districts, each
having an active Republican club, and
being represented on this committee
by three duly elected members. Neces-
sarily, the committee incurs expenses
for printing, hall rent, transportation
of voters, &C., which must be paid by
voluntary contributions. Such sum
as you can contribute may be handed
to any member Of this committee
having the secretary's receipt, and the
committee stands pledged to secure a
faithful disbursement and furnish a
detailed account to each contributor at
the close of the campaign.
In conclusion, we would add that the
result of the canvass this fall will have
larger inserests than any other COM
munity in the country.
You are solicited to join the Repub-
lican club in your district, with all
your friends, of whatever party affilia-
tIOn heretofore, who desire to cO-Opr-
rate in the effort to aid in electing Re-
publican members to the Forty-eighth
Congress from the districts contiguous
to the District of Columbia, the i'm
portance of which, in a national as
well as local point of view, cannot
be over-estimated.
