The great Chicago Convention clos.

wild with enthusiasm. The nomina.

of the United States have been clamor-

God, 10 bis mysterious exercise 0
might and right, broke the chains Of
slavery aud thereby liberated FIVE
millions of poor, defrauded people,
who have never ceased to praise him.
When freed they had not where to
lay their heads, they had nothing but
freedom, and as we all had that, there
was nothing TO share, and even now
so small a price is paid for unskilled
labor that we are unable to help not
only one another, but to provide tor
our families as we should like to.
Therefore, you who have gained for
centuries-you, the Caucasians, who
enjoy so much obtained, directly or
indirectly, from your colored brother,
should do him the justice "to take a
hitch at your suspenders and trouser
straps and give your hearts and
consciences a surprise by throwing
open the avenues by and through
which he can earn an independent
and honest livelihood. If your con-
victions are honest, you will not hest
tate to give him an equal chance in
race of life.

Carlisle and the Negro Girl.

Washington Letter.
An incident occurred the other even
ing in one of the Scent cars which 60
from the capitol to the White House.
which attracted no attention at the
time, but which, had it occurred be-
fore the war, would have been widely
commented upon. The Car was full
of gentlemen and ladies, and Speaker
Carlisle was sitting beside me, look
ing very grave and probably thinking
himself a great fool for having &C.
copied such a trying position as
speaker of this congress, when a
young negro girl entered the car.
There was no seat for her, and she
grasped the strap, looking vainly
around for a seat. There was none
to be seen, and no one rose to give
her one. At last the speaker, coming
out of his meditation, saw her. He
half rose to give her his place, when
he changed his mind, and, crowding
the rest of US toward the end of the
car, made room for her beside him
self, and motioned her to sit down.
She did so. There was no ostenta-
ton about it, and the speaker re-
lapsed into his moody meditations
as soon as it was over.

Letter to the Cleveland fOhiol Leader.1
WASHINGTON, May l6.
1t seems from an interview now
before me, published in the columns
Of the Herald on the 9Th inst, that
Prof. John NJ. Langston, strangely
and without provocation, in the first
hours of his return from Hayti, sum
moned home to defend his son, in.
dicted for murder in the District of
Columbia, has seen fit, even before
reaching Washington, to celebrate
his arrival by making himself the
guilty author of murderous assault
upon my reputation as man and a
Republican. To his cruel charges l
wish simply, through your columns,
to enter plea of not guilty, and
leave your respected readers and the
country, to whom Mr.. Ian gston and
myself are well known, to judge be
tween us. When Mr.. Langston states
that Frederick Douglass got up the
Louisville Convention. he states what
is not true; when he states that Fred.
Douglass got it up for the purpose OF
gaining Cabinet position, Mr.. Lang
ston states what is not true; when he
states that Frederick Douglass was
mad with Arthur because he was not
appointed United States Marshal for
the District of Columbia, he states
what is not true; when he states that
Frederick Douglass was mad with
the whole Republican Party, he states
what is not true; when he states that
Frederick Douglass has announced
that there is not an ounce of black
blood in bis veins, he states what is
not true and what he must know is
absurdly false; when he says that
black washerwomen have been throw
ing dimes in Fred. Douglasss pocket
because he is colored, he reveals his
malice as well as his untruthtulness,
and adds to his boundless reputation
for veracityi when he says that Fred
erick Douglass caused the failure Of
the Freedman's Bank, the lie should
have blistered his lips when he ut
tered it; when he says l sought the
Presidency Of the Freedman's Bank,
he uttered what the most shameless
liar, who knows the facts In the case,
would have declined to be RESPONSE
BILE for. Mr.. Editor, I am quite aware
that there is no complete defense
against falsehood. Its legs seem to
be swifter than those of the truth.
Many will quote Mr.. Langston who
will not see this denial, but fling it
= l--,>4I I .,aau-and trust that it
will settle like mantle of fire on the
head of the hesrtless maligner who
has made your columns the vehicle Of
| his SANDERS.

MADISON, GA, May 13.-There are
two hotels here, the Madison House
and the Houghton House. Between
them great rivalry exists in securing
trade. Peter Bearden, a white man,
clerk of the Madison House, sue
ceeded in getting drummer to stop
at his hotel. George Young, a colored
porter of the Houghton House, stood
in the middle of the street and de-
clared that Bearden had lied to get
the drummer. A white bystander
knocked the coIored man down, leav
ing him senseless on the street. A
horde of colored people gathered
around him, and colored women es-
pecialIy were very violent in action
and language. So threatening did
the demonstration become that the
police force was at once increased
and large numbers of whites armed
themselves to defend Bearden, whose
life was the price the people de-
handed. Prompt action by the
authorities, however, is likely to pre-
vent any further outbreak.

Tns grand reception given at
Shakespeare hall on Tuesday night
speaks highly for the social taste of
the people of Harrisburg. 1t is not
often they undertake to do a thing,
but when they attempt to give a
really excellent affair they usually
succeed in doing SO. The past season
has been an unusually brilliant one
among our citizens, replete as it has
been with parties, weddings and
balls. Every step toward a higher
social level among our people has its
good and telling effect upon the re-
finement of the community and is an
advanced step in the right direction.
The season for picnics and excursions
is now at hand, and the same safe
guard should be thrown around So
ciety with which it has been encircled
during the past season and the in
discriminate association of all classes,
for which our city is noted, ought to
be discontinued.

Communicated
Quarterly Meeting at Lancaster.

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, May 15.-
Please allow space for a short note
concerning Rev. w. r. Norris
quarterly meeting, Lancaster, Pa. 1t
was our pleasure, in company with
Rev. P. nj. Laws, of Philadelphia,
to try to preach to the good people
of that place. The attendance was
good all day. The members of the
church and outsiders seem to vie with
each other to make the meeting a
success in every respect. The newly
organized choir did themselves great
credit. The organist seemed to be
perfectly at home and master of the
situation. The collection footed up
for the day, $50. Rev. Norris has
served this people three years accept
ably. Brother Laws and myself felt
like singing, "Our Willing Souls
Would Stay in Such Place as That

A Want Of Enterprise.

Probably one of the great dis
tinguishing features of the colored
people in this State, and we
might say in other sections of the
country, is the want of enterprises
under their own control and con-
Quoted for the honest requirement of
money. This grows more noticeable
every day we live, and it is time for
us to stop and take careful review
of the result it has upon the race.
Colored men of practical business
experience, we admit, are few, and it
is painful to think that they are not
more plentiful considering the many
advantages they have. Perhaps there
is nothing easier to start in this world
than business, and while we know
every man who starts in business is
not successful, yet out of the many a
few must succeed. There are rea
sons why colored men do not make
the venture, and the first reason Is
they lack confidence in themselves,
and the next reason is because their
own people will not have confidence
in them, and the man who has not
the grit to overcome both of these
objections, must always expect to
grovel in the dirt for livelihood.
That colored men lack confidence in
the ability of one another to transact
business is evident from the failure
of the mass to appreciate and patron
ize these enterprises which exist aud

race. If the thousands of dollars of
money spent in other sources was
spent among ourselves there is no
question but what we must eventu-
ally become a rich and prosperous
people 1t would become us to prac
tice some of the things which other
races practice, as with the Irish, Ger
mans, Jews and Americans, each re-
spectfully aid those of their own
race, and what is left is then divided
among the others. America is strong
and independent to-day because of
the protection che gives to her citi
zens; so with every other nation,
and what is applicable to nation is
applicable to a race, or an individual
being strongly in favor Of the indi-
vidual because he has only himself to
govern. Colored men possessed of
a few dollars lock it up in a trunk or
put it in a bank at three per cent,
allowing the bank to loan it out at
six per cent, and thus rest satisfied
money was made to make money,
and until we learn to venture we can
not expect to have. There are but
few things in this country that we
can point to with pride which stand
out as monuments to cur thrift
and enterprise. Hundreds of chill
dren are being educated and will be
fitted for the most responsible posi-
tions and what have their race for
them to dos We are letting slip
chances which in future years we will
regret, as many live to regret the
past. Hundreds of men will point
out to you the investments they once
could have made for trife which to.
day are worth thousands of dollars.
Let the people begin the study of in
ternal protection and advancement,
encourage those enterprises existing
among US, make them strong, for the
greater the number the larger amount
of wealth they represent, and money
in this country is king, and it don't
matter if you are black so you have
well filled pocket and we'll balanced
brain. Then respect is yours.

BLAINE grows TO be less the choice
of the people as the convention ap-
proaches. He will receive the highest
number of votes to be cast for him
on the first ballot, and that will be
just about 200 short of enough to
elect him, after that it will be no
longer the peoples choice, but the
choice of the convention.

A white man named Samuel T.
Wilson, on one of Col. Richardson's
plantations, down the river a few
miles from here, murdered a colored
man named Mcdaniel, and the col
ored people took him out and lynched
him. Wilson is now in his eternal
home, where he will cease from muir.

kind will put an end to this wholesale
slaughtering of colored men by the
whites. We are not, however, in

in the vindication of justice and law.

ECCLESIASTICAL bodies all over the
country are holding their general
conferences, and next to the question
of religion and the affairs of the
church, which seems to occupy most
of their time, is, what shall we do with
our colored brother? The M. E.
church is willing to take him in pro-
viding he keeps his place, and the
Episcopal church don't object to him
go long as he don't come too close. 1t
seems SO peculiar and so funny that
the colored man is the great bone of
contention in too vastly different, but
importont bodies, Church and State.
