been supporting Blaine, says: As
far as Mr.. Cleveland is concerned,
we are free to say we have never
given ourselves any serious concern
about the danger of his elevation, to
the coIored people of this country and
their Constitutional rights. We can
didly believe there is no Democrat in
the country more disposed to do us
justice than he; and we do not be-
lieve candidly that he could be pre-
vailed upon to put his official sigma
ture to any document which would in
the least measure abridge the rights
and immunities of the colorcd citi-
zens of this republic. On the con-
trary, we are firmly persuaded that
he will check as far as lies in his

Death of Benjamin Chambers.

From the New Orleans Ptcayune of
October 28th we copy the following
notice of the death of Mr.. Benjamin
F. Chambers, a brother of Capt.
George Chambers, of Harper's Ferry
in this county:
It is with regret that the death of Benjamin
F. Chambers is chrOnicled. Mr.. Chambers died
at the age of 81. In May last he was stricken
with paralysis. He never recovered. 1t pros
| tTated him and finally caused his decease. hut
he closed his eyes in everlasting sleep quietly
and painlessly us babe that smilingly com
poses itself to healthful rest. Turning to his
devoted wife, he asked to be buried at the home
of his childhood. aud then brcuthcd his last.
Mr.. Chambers was born in Frederick county
Maryland. but was raised at Booncsborough.
| in the same State. At the age of Is he Joined
an artillery company OH the way to Mexico.
and fought i'll the Mexican war. His captain
! aftcrward became Gen. Tilghman. who was
killed at Bakers Creek during the Confederate
war. When the troops returned to the United
| States he did not return to his old home. set
ling in Mississippi. He frstwcnt into business
at Yazoo City. He lived in Mississippi until
1889. when he removed to New Orleans. The
| firm of Walker IL Snider engaged his services
and he remained with them as bOOk-kccper
| until the Confederate war broke out. When
Gen. BcauTcgard called for troops the Crescent
Blues volunteered Mr.. Chambers was in the
| ranks. wearing the uniform of Il sergeant. He
fought bravely ut the battle of Shiloh and was
wounded. After recovering he again entered
active service. this time in the ranks of the 30th
Mississippi. His company was led by Capt.
Irwin Scales. of North Carolina. Mr. Cham
beers rose to the rank of lieutenant. and was
also adjutant on Gen. Walthall's staff.
After the war Mr.. Chambers returned to New
Orleans and obtained employment with Griffin
81 Porch. His connection with them lasted
until he went into business on his own account
as n member of the firm of Hartwcll Cham
bers & Sedberry. Mr.. Sedherry died and the
firm became HIrtwell GS Chumbers remaining
so until yesterdays sad event severed tho part
nership.
Mr.. Chambers was an energetic. industrious
and capable business man. Honest and hon.
orable. genial and generous. opcn-handcd and
warln-heartcd. he made friends and retained
them. lie loved his home and made many. sac
rifces for those lie knew. 1t was his pleasure
to see happy faces around him. The result was
naturally a delightful hospitality. Even when
OH the he'd from which he was destined no more
to rise in life. he begged those who came to see
him to make merry. regardless of his suffer-
ings. 1t is no wonder that so many mourn his
dCcease.
He married sixteen years ago No child
blessed the union. so he bestowed his undivided
love upon his wife. The loss of such u hus-
band is indeed a heavy loss to bear. Mrs.
Chambers leaves to-day with the body for
Maryland. The remains will be accompanied
to the train by a large conconrse of acquaint-
auces, COrinthinn Lodge. F. and 4. NJ, and
other organizations.

There is, as the Baltimore Suns
New York special states it, no further
controversy over CIeveland's cleo
ton. Every one now comedies it
The national Republican committee
backs down. The Tribune, in agony
of travail both ludicrous and pitiable,
brings forth the words, "Gov. CIeve-
land is elected Presidents" Walker
Blaine, the crown prince that was to
be. coming fresh from the side of his
father, says that all is over; and last,
but not least, the too-confident Elkins
has sent a message to Senator Cor
man to order the two suits of clothes
which he wagered with him on the re-
suit. With the completion of the
canvass on Saturday night of the
electoral vote of New York city and
county the last faint ember of hope
fickercd and went out. Although,
by reason of computing the vote OF
the highest Blaine elector with that OF
the lowest Cleveland elector, the
Democratic plurality in that city and
county is reduced about one hundred
votes, consequently causing the same
reduction in the total for the State,
CIeveIand's plurality on all other
electors will be about 1900, as
has been claimed all along by the
Democratic committee. Figuring
upon the new Presidents cabinet is
now the order of the day.

Prcsident-eIect Cleveland has fe-
ccived congratulatory kilograms from
over ten thousand prominent persons
in the United States. among them the
following:
New YonK, Nov. Oh congratu-
late you and the people of the whole
country upon your election to the
Presidency of the United States.
You owe your election, in my judg-
ment, to the fact that the people be-
lieved you to be an honest man, and
not to any particular efforts made BY
any faction of either the Democratic
or Republican parties. Independent
men, who care more for good govern
ment than for parties or individuals,
have made you their choice because
they were convinced that your adj
ministration would not be for the
benefit of any political organization or
favored persons, but for the interests
of the whole people. This is inst the
result which is most desired. We
have reached a time when party
amounts to little. The country is
above all, and itwants an honest gov
eminent by honest men. The belief
that we will find it in you has lee. to
your election. Yours. very truly,
w. H. VANDERB1LT.
Yice-Presidcnt Hendricks has also
been the recipient of thousands of
congratuIatory kilograms.

An OLD READER.

AN OLD HEADER.
An intelligent negro preacher of
Bloomington, Illinois, has written an
open letter to President Arthur call
ing attention to the efforts of Federal
ottice-holders in the South to inflamc
the negroes by proclaiming that re-
enslavement will follow the return of
the Democratic party to power. He
says with much force that 90 slavery
is dead forever, and the possibility of
its resurrection ought not to be pro-
claimed for partisan effect. -
Such an appeal is most timely.
The negro has never known any par
ty but the Republican, and it has
been kept in power for many years by
the lowest appeals to race prejudice.
The negro has therefore come to be-
lieve the worst of these representa-
tions, and ignorant as he is, really
fears that the charge is true. By sed-
ulously repeating this accusation
the few white Republicans of the South
have been able to use the negro
pretty much as they pleased, and to
lHalhIalh themselves IN place.
In matters little that the material
condition of the negro is infinitely
better in the Southern States since
the Democrats gained absolute power,
that ten negro children are in school
to one prior to 1870, or that the black
man is more highly regarded in the
South than in the North. The race
has not yet developed such a degree
of philosophy that it can be expected
to know or appreciate these things.
But the President, during the brief
remainder of his term, can at least
restrain the leading Federal Office
holders, and nothing would do it
