Progress of the Colored Race.
WASHINGTON, November 27th-One of the
departments of the New Orleans exposition
will be devoted to an exhibit showing the
material progress made by the colored peo-
pie of the country during the last twenty
| years. The Cotton Planters Association of
New Orleans made an appropriation of
| $4,000 for the establishment of this de-
partment and ex-senator Bruce, OF Missis-
| sippi, was placed in charge of it. He has
just returned from trip to the west, and
in a conversation with your correspondent
| tonight, said: Although we have had
but about forty days time in which to
make arrangements for the colored mems
| exhibit at the exposition, | think our de-
partment will be one of the most interest
ing there. There is really nothing of race
or sectional spirit intended in our
display. For many years it was asserted
| that the attempt to educate the negro was
a failure. Time has proven how inbound
ed this statement is, and all men now con-
cede that the negro is capable ofaducation.
| That bugaboo having been disposed of, the
| statement is made that the negro has made
no material advance in the arts and sciences
or industrial pursuits; that his condition
has not improved since he was emanci-
pated. This exhibit will forever put an
end to such an untruthful and unwarranted
statement | have appointed commission
ers III every State of the Union. 1t is their
| duty to collect and send to New Orleans
| specimens of the work of colored people in
| their respective States. Although | am
very well acquainted with the people of
my race and the work they are doing in
the various departments of industry, the
information that | have obtained during
| the past thirty days as TO its scope and value
| surprises me. There will be exhibited
| specimens OF coal taken from mines owned
and operated by colored men. and speci-
mems of ores taken from mines that they
have discovered and worked flour made
III their mills; agricultural machines man
ufactured in their factories; models from
patent offices, showing the useful inven-
tons they have made; pictures that col
ored artists have painted; statues carved
by colored sculptorS; cereals grown by
| colored farmers; vegetables dug from the
| ground that they own and cultivate In
fact, i'll almost every department of indus
| try, science and art, there will be an exhibit
of the products of the colored man brains
and the work of his hands. We have had
| comparatively little time in which to make
| this collection, and the amount of money
at our disposal is so small, considering,
that as the exposition will remain open for
six months, we are necessarily limited as
the quality and character of our exhibits.
What | know, however, of the objects that
will be sent TO New Orleans for exhibition,
satisfies me that or department will be one
of the most interesting features of the ex-
position.
