ing as bondsmen therefor persons without

before him for probate, and for allowing fees
OF the clerk without investigation. The clerk

statutory provisions. The report was recon-
mitted to the committee with instructions to

FRANK. LANGSTON'S SUR
RENDER

Now that Frank Langston has
surrendered, it is hoped that the
National Republican, and the Sun
day Republic of this oity are salts
fed, and will cease their abnse of
the colored people and our Minis
ter to Hayti. As we said before
there are two sides to this ques
ton and we are satisfed that
young Langston has a good de-
fense to make. If the National
Republican and the Republic would
only turn their attention to mat
ters of public policy, and endeavor
to reform the white race, we be-
lIeve that the colored race would
have better show in this Repub-
lie. We desire to ask the Republic
should the whole white race be
held responsible for the outrages
committed against the negro by
white bulldozers.
