FLATTERING.

The Washington Correspondent
of the North Carolina Sentinel, in
speaking of Howard University,
has this to say of one ofour Editors:
The Printing Department is an
essential feature. 1t is engineered
and superintended by the talented
Arthur St. A. Smith, Esqr., a
young man of national fame. Mr..
Smith is one of our foremost print

vices for many men now success
ful in journalistic enterprises. He
is an honor to his race. At the
Bethel Literary IN this city, socl-
ETY. now of universal renown, he
has made himself felt as a gifted
thinker. AS an impromptu speak

is now attached to the BEE as one

Advocating Logan and Lincoln.

We see that there is an unani-
nous endorsement by the people
of this country for Hon. John A.
Logan and Robert T. Lincoln. 1t
would be a pleasure to us to print
all communications sent us from
different parts of the United States,
favoring these two distinguished
men for the presidency; but the
demand for our columns is SO
great that we are compelled to
print only those that are not SO
lenghthy. 1t is our sincere desire
that the Republican party will
make no mistake. We don't know
OF any two men more honored by
the colored people than these two
distinguished citizens. We desire
to call the attention of the Repub-
lican party to the colored vote.
Some may endeavor to dodge the
corner; but, if some man like
either Senator Logan or Secretary
Lincoln is not nominated, we ad-
wise the Republican party to haul
down Its banners.
Some people have said, and es-
pecially the politicians, that Justice
Harlan can unite the colored vote.
We doubt it; and the conclusion
of the colcred people would be,
should he be nominated, that the
late decision of the Supreme Court
was for some political purpose; and
hence we advise our Republican
friends to let Justice Harlan's name
rest in peace. This is our only
chance to save a Republic and a
Nation from the diaholical clutches
of the Democratic party. 1t can
only be done by soldier like Lo-
gan, or a citizen like Lincoln. The
South says give them either of
these men; the West speaks for
Logan. The loyal people through
out the country are appealing and
praying for the perpetuation of the
Republican party.

THE SUGAR CONVENTION.

A large Sugar convention was
heldss at New Orleans, Louisiana
last Tuesday. The Times-Demo-
crat of that city gives an interest
ing account of it. Hon. p. B. S.

invited to speak, and said he was
present by the merest accident.
He confessed an embarrassment to
find himself called upon to address
such a convention. lie had been
requested by Mr.. I. t. Allan to
come to the convention, so as to
get in line and ascertain how to
proceed in the convention of color

is to be held here on the 23d. He
was glad that he had come, and he
desired to show that the class he
was identified with felt as keenly

between the two classes, but now
he was glad to see them obliterat-

prevent this calamity to this great
State. There was no time to be
lost, and though he approved the
suggestion for having pamphlet

they should wait on Congressman

large class of people whose very

The Distinguished Soldier and
Eminent Statesman should
be Nominated for President.

Editor Of the Bee:
Sir: In 1860, at the time when the Democratic
party had, as it were, this great Republic by
its throat, and when they were doing every
thing in their power to impede its progress
in the march of civilization, the Republican
party found it necessary to call on the State of
Illinois TO furnish them a President that
would shake off the leeches that were under
mining and bringing our Republic to ruin and
disgrace.
Now in 1884, we find the same old Bourbon
party in possession of the House of Represent
atives; we find them needing only one or two
Senators to give them majority in the SEN
ate; We find them using everything in their
power and striving in divers ways to again
grasp the Presidential chair; and 1 think it
behooves us to again look to Illinois for a
President: that we should select and secure
that distinguished soldier and eminent states
man of hers, the Hon. John a. Logan, to pre-
vent the rebel horde and free-traders from
getting control of the helm of our government.
The Republicans of the South have always
found Hon. John A Logan a staunch friend
and defender of theirs the Union soldier ele-
ment of the country have always found him
foremost in shaping and promoting legisla-
tion looking to the interest of them and their
heirs; and he has always been found using
his great intellectual ability to promote the
welfare and good of the United States Govern
ment.
The National Republican Convention which
assemblies at Chicago in June will, by nomi-
mating the above-named distinguished gen.
tleman, confer the honor upon worthy should
ers, and its eonsummation would rebound to
the best interests of the whole American peo-
pie. r. F. CHIsoLM,

SQUIRE MERRILL'S POEM
CRITICIZED BY A LADY.
Mr.. EDITOR:
CLARA.


The poem which was COM
posed by Sqnire G. Merrill, and
delivered at the Campfire of
Meade Post, No. 5, 6. A. R., and
published in the Secoud Vol. and
twenty-fourth number of the BEE,
would have served a good purpose
indeed had it been consumed by
the fire. The Author takes ad-
vantage of the fact that different
kinds of feet are often used I'm the
same line, and also. that different
measures are frequently used in
the same poem. He truly makes
use of every indulgence in the use
of peculiar forms and expressions
given to poets.
After taking every liberty be-
longing to poet, he fails to i'm
press the minds of a good many
readers favorably. [ will eudeav-
or to make few criticisms on
some verses contained in the poem.
In eighteen-hundred and forty-six,
To New York City did go;
Enlisted in the first New York
In the war with Mexico
First of all he fails to say who
went to New York, or who it was
that was in the war of Mexico.

are very noticeable

was the camp on land or water
Among our Country's braves

It is haped that a very few, if any,

very ridiculous to think of the
above named articles; growing

The order comes to ship we go,
And soon we land on board,'

Who is commanded to put up his

What's the difference between
twelve short years and twelve

Of course we do, the result is, vic

fee, crackers and pork were sup

What was the use of q little boy

Good night comrades,

And when you think of old Meade Post,

Why not remember Mexico and
by so doing so think of Meade
Post?
This poem can be subjected to
a more severe criticism.

as prose, there should be good
reasoning and fine seste displayed.
