The Oolored Leaders on Blaine.

1t is growing to oe disputed ques-
ton az to whether Blaine or Burchard
is entitled to the prize for the most iu-
furious speech. Iu his Augusta har-
angue Mr.. Blaine sought to break the
Solid South by melting i'll feeling be-
tween the races. but the desired effect
does not seem to have been produced.
We print below what leading colored
republicans say on the subject.
Ex-senator Bruces Philadelphia Interview.
That speech of Blaiues at Augusta
will doubtless bn the cauae of great un-
easiness and mental dis,r"ss among the
colored people of the South. Forlu-
nately its effects can only be short
lived. Such ut,erances were denagoe-
ical in the extreme and wholly unwar-
ranted. l think ought to know some
thing about our people in the South.
The greatest harmony exists between
the white and colored races. Blaine
charges of Intimidation aud violence at
the polls are absolute and unqualified
falsehoods. To-day the South is 10y
al and peaceful. Its people, white aud
black, are, or were until Mr.. Blaine TO-
mented this new antagonism, in the
right frame of mind to enter upon bar
mouious relations with the people OF
the North. They were especially de-
sirous that the pleasant business rela-
tions should not be interrupted. This
is exactly what Mr.. Blaine strikes at,
and his Augusta speech has lowered
him in popular estimation more than
any act of his life.

From Interview with Ex-Governor Pinchback, col
ored, Collector of New Orleans
The condition of the colored people
cannot be changed or affected in the
least degree by mere change of ad
ministration. I voted for Mr.. Blaine,
and there is no doubt that my personal
interest and the interest of many of
my friends aud acquaintances would
have been best subserved by his cleo
ton. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the
success of Governor Cleveland will do
more to destroy race prejudice than
ten thousand civil rights bills. l think
the election of Mr.. Cleveland will re.
suit finally in a political revolution in
the South, which will completely de-
stroy the color line. New parties will
be formed, composed of both races, in
which each member will be equal.

believe that Clevelsnd's admins
tration will be characterized by such
conservatism al will make it one of the
most successful in the history of our
Presidents. In this view | have with
me many of the most prominent color
cd Republicans throughout the South.
We made every effort to elect Mr..
Blaine because he was the candidate OF
the Republican party, and the colored
people have always voted with that
party. Since his defeat our people
have been more than gratitied at the
course of our white Democratic friends.
Nothing but the kindest words have
been spoken for US. We recognize
the fact that the white Democrats Of
the South are those among whom our
fortunes are cast. l can safely say, in
speaking for myself and 100000 col
| ored people of the South, that if Gov
ernor Cleveland's administration car
ries out only half of the promises which
have been made before the next cleo
tion the celored votes will be equally
divided between the two parties. There
is no reason why the colorrd vot'
should be solidlv Republican. There il
every reason why it may become large
ly Demool attic. l number among my
friends many of the most prominen
Democrats of the State, and their kin'
expressions towards our race whel
harshness might have been expected
assures me that among them are to b
found the true friends of the colore'
man. This silly sensation about ne
groes being put back into slavery has
l am sorry to say, been spread amonl
the colored people. They now fin
that they have been imposed on ant
they have already become thorough,
reconciled to the election of the Demo
cratic ticket. 1t was first started as
mere joke, but was looked upon by tn
more fearful in serious light. W

A S1llxUlar ('nae.

Last Saturday night Seaman Pattin-
| son came TO police station and com
planned that Le bad been assaulted by
Peter j Ford and two Of his employee
named Edward McGaughey and col
ored man by the name of johnson.
Pattnson said that Ford came to his
house and insul'ed his wife III his alb
sence, and that when he called Oh Ford
to demand all explanation, he was push.
ed from the door and beat by Fort and
the others.
Warrants were issued for the arrest
of Mr.. Ford and his two employees,
and this morning he appeared before
Judge Cunmins and offered to plead
guilty for himself and the two men, To
The charge 0! assault, but ON account Of
their not being present, the Judge de-
clined 70 accept the plea. Mr.. Ford then
waived hearing and the case was
postponed until Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Ford's statement OF the Case is
as follows Some time ago Seaman Pat
tinson came 10 him and rented house,
but Mr.. Ford claims that lie was not
long in ascertaining that he was not a
very desirable tenant, and notified him
To move.
In the meantime complaint had been
made TO Austin Harrington, Esq, about
the treatment of child by the Pattir
son family, and after obtaining Mr..
Ford's opinion of them he called at
their house. PattinsoI referred him to
Mr.. Ford, when Mr.. Harrington told
him that ne had been to See him and
ment, oned what he had said, and this
.eems TO have been the leading cause
Of the trouble on Saturday.
Mr.. Ford says that he was passing the
house, when Mrs. pattinson called him
n and abused him for what he had
said to Mr.. Harrington. He retorted,
and told her that he wanted them to get
out of the house as soon as possible, but
denies insulting her in any way.
Toward evening he was waited upon by
Pattinson, who accused him of taking
improper liberties with his wife, and
Mr.. Ford says that 40 quick as he made
the charge he knocked him down.

der such guarantees rs to rates, fidelity

appointed by the Government consider
ed fair and equitable" If, however,
Congress twas determined TO enter the
Geographic field" but did not see the
way to do SO Immediately, "and was
willing to enter into flair arrangement,
the Baltimore and Ohio Company would
90 on with the construction of its lines,
so as to afford the public Immediately
the advantages acCruing from competi-
ton, and extend Geographic facilities
at the earliest date, and would probably
agree to turn over its lines tothe Gov.

At an early hour last Saturday morn
ing Charles kellner, who resides on the
second floor at No. 8 East Fifth street
came very near shooting another occu
pant of the building. Mr.. Kellner wa,
awakened about 80 o'clock by noise
in the yard, and upon going to a win
dow saw man about to climb through
q window on the tirst floor.
He called to him, when the stranger
replied" that's all right" and Hellner
who felt sure that the man was a burg,
lar, hurried to a bureau, and pulled
out an old revolver, with which he wa,
about to let go at him, when fortunately
his wife awoke and begged him not tc
fire.
She told her husband that o IN an had
called in the afternoon and stated tina,
he had rented the third floor, and
would move in during the evening,
but as he had not come she supposed
he had changed his mind. She sug.
gested that perhaps the man was the
new tenant, and an investigation found
her snrmises to be correct.
