GREATLY MISTAKEN.

We have always endeavored to
be consistent and treat our social
ed Colored leaders with due con-
sideration. We find, however,
that none of them are satisfied.
There is a desire, on the part of
some people, to assure others that
this paper is controlled by outside
influence, namely, some Colored
leaders; and when anything is
said not at all pleasing, at times
the assertion is made that this one
or that one controls the paper.
Let it be understood once, and
for all, that the Editor of this paper
is not controlled by outside infu-
ence, any Colored leaders, or the
official power. Circumstances of
a recent occurrence forces Us to
make this statement. We want it
distinctly understood that no Ne
gro leader controls the BEE direct
ly or indirectly. "Our liberties
we prize and our rights we will
maintain"

THE LAW GRADUATING
EXERCISES.

The Graduating exercises of the
law department of Howard Uni
versity will take place next Mon
day evening at the Congregational
church. The exercises bid fair to
be the best that has been given
since the establishment of the in
stitutlon. Mr.. James II. Smith
has brought the law department
up to a high standard since it has
been under his charge, and for
which he is entitled to the present
success of the law department.
Seveal of the yonng men whose
names appear below are gentle
men of culture and education.
Mr.. L. Murray Brown, Of Tennes-
see, is young man of great nat
ural ability aud will no doubt
make a success in his new profess
sion, Mr.. E. A. S. Draper, of Tennes-
see, and Mr.. Joseph 7. Davis, OF
the !5irgi"ia Laneet, are fluent writ
ers aud they have the congratula-
ton of the BEE for passing sue
cessful examination. Mr.. Andrew
Hillyer, of Minnesota, is perhaps,
one of the finest reasoners among
the young men. Mr. j. G. Asbury
graduates second in his class and
he is worldly young man.
The diplomas will be presented
by President Arthur and the ad-

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

1t Is the unanimous desire of the
Colored people of this city to have
a change m our public school sys-
tenn, and that chang can only be
accomplished by the removal of
Mr.. John Ii. Brooks, who has made
himself particularly obnoxious to
the people and dangerous to the
Colored teachers.
The teachers are continually
under fire and In fear of notorious
yarns being circulated which will
cause a dismissal without an inves-
tigation. We have had enough of
Mr.. Brooks vindictiveness and ar
bitrary governing of our schools.
Four-ftths of the people are op-
posed to him, and We have conf
dence in the commissioners to
believe that they will not retain a
man against the wishes of the peo-
pie. We voice the sentiments of
the people.

NOT RESPONSIBLE.

We want it distinctly understood
that the editor is not responsible
for communications from cores
pondents, and especially, the let
ters that appear weekly under the
caption of Louise to Clara. This
week we introduce our new
correspondent, Miss Clara. We
may sometimes indorse what these
ladies say if we feel disposed to
do so.
We understand from our friends
that Miss Louise misrepresented a
lady and gentleman last week, for
which she informs US that she will
make correction in her next let
ter. Miss Louise is perfectly re-
liable, and this is the first time that
she has mlstook persons. The
lady she mistook for some one else
is well known in our social circle
and lady of refinement.

Wayne McVeagh the one-horse
country lawyer, is out in a long
letter to Mr.. Bristow and the busi-
ness men of New York who held
a meeting Tuesday night in the
interest of President Arthur. The
ex-attorney general finds consider
able fault with the President, and
be shows considerable ofhis venom
and bad taste when he says to these
gentlemen that they ought to re-
member that Arthur only became
President through the agency of
Guiteau. His abuse of the Presi-
dent will tend strongly to raise
him much more IN the estimation
of the American people.

A FALSE REPORT.

Through some mistake the re-
port of the National News Bureau
of the Colored Press read that res
olutlons endorsing the course of
President Arthur, were passed, but
the secretary of the organization,
Mr.. E. L. Thornton, informs US
that resolutions presented for that
purpose were almost unanimously
tabled. The association resolved
to pledge its support to no
particular candidate in ad-
vance OF the nomination at Chi

TIE CHICAGO CONVENTION

Ten days from to-day the Ma
tional Republican Convention will
assemble for the purpose of NOM
mating candidates for the offices
of President and Vice-president
of the United States.
We hope that no dark-horse mis-
take will be made by the conven-
ton, as was done in 1876, when
the enigma Hayes was thrust upon
the peol lie; and that NOV ell, we
shall not speak i'll of the dead; let
him rest in peace.
A man should be nominated
that is friendly alike to the black
as we'll as TO the white people; one
should be put forth that is friend
ly to the laborlng and working
classes of the country; one that is
an anti-monopolist; one whose
record is pure and untarnlshel !;
one whom the people would have
implicit confidence in; one whose
career In the White House will
be in the interest of all the peo-
pie of this great government.
The Republican party has plenty
of good material to select from /;
there is no reason why good Sc
lection should not be made.
Foremost among the good ma
terial in the Republican household
and one who fills the above-named
requisites, is the Hon. John A.
Logan. His nomination would
thrill the hearts of the loyal peo-
of this country with gladness.
His iron will and strong nerve
will see to it that the American
flag is not insuIted al home or
abroad.
Such a nomination would not
only honor the distinguished SEN
ator from Illinois, but delegates
will be honoring themselves by
making such wise selection, and
the country would be honored by
having such an able gentleman to
preside over her destinies.

MILITIA NATTER

There has been little doing in
militia circles during the past
week. The committee of the mill
tary reunion awarded the prize for
making the largest cash re-
turns for tickets to company A of
the Capitol City Guards, and was
presented to the winner, Cor
poral Ellis of that company, on
Friday evening, May 23d, next, at
the armory of the Cadets, in the
presence of all the companies. The
prize is a splendid gold hunting
case Waltham watch We slipped
into an unintentional error III our
comments upon this entertain
ment in our last issue.
The suggestion was made by
Capt. Kelly, at one of the officers
meetings held to discuss matters
connected with the emancipation
celebration, and was agreed to by
each commanding officer present,
subject to the approval of their
companies. The officers present
and agreeing, were Capts. Fisher,
Fleetwood, Kelly, Gray, and Cor
nell, and their action was ratified
by all the companies, except
Co. B of the Capital City Guards,
who refused.
Capt. Simmons was not at the
meeting, and was not considered,
as at that time it was expected
that the five companies would take
up every evening in the week de-
signated. The only assistance,
therefore, rendered, IN making the
affair, the great success that it was,
was those by Capt. Gray and his
company, who to refused to take
part in it or to visit it while going
on. Capt Simmons and his CON-
pany assisted nobly, however, as
they did not even do the committee
the courtesy to acknowledge the
receipt of the invitation extended
to them; so we are informed by
members of the committee.
1t is very unfortunate state of
affairs, that there seems 20 COM
mon ground upon which all of our
companies can meet in true trater
nifty, Why cannot some repre-
sentative friends, honorary mem
bers, or others of the several or
carnations, hold mutual confer
ence and endeavor to reach and
remove the causes of these dis
agreements, instead of stirring up
strife between them, as many do,
by honestly mistaken ideas doubt
less, but still mistaken. We COM
mend the matter to the infuen-
tIal members of each company.

President Arthur by his eowardly
attack agaisnt him. Blaine can
never be President of the United

said that Blaine will tree Ireland;
that he will reopen the Peruvian
question. The Negroes will not
vote for Blaine. Nominate Blaine
and then bid farewell to the Re-

BLAINE NO FRIEND OF THE

Editor of the BEE:

Editor of the BEE:
SIR: [ understand that the
" "Plumed knight" is to be nomi-
ated at Chicago by blind Negro,
and that eX-congressman Burrows
of Michigan, will second the uomi-
nation with one of his great ora
torical displays. This Is no doubt
willy plan of the Maine statesman
to catch the votes Of Negro dele
gates in the convention. | hope
that the Colored delegates will not
be carried away by any such gilt
tering schemes, for James G. Blaine
is certainly no friend OF the Negro.
He has no use for the Colored man
outside of the nominating conven-
ton, hence we should have no use
for HIM. Should he by chance be
nominated, God forbid, and the
Democrats should have the sagaci-
ty to nominate Gen. Benz. +. But
Ter on their ticket, the Colored
vote of the seven States of the
North and West, where they mold
the balance of power, would be
surely cast for the Democratic can
didate.
Blaine cannot be elected if
nominated.
