INGERSOLL'S LOG CABIN

RATION, New MEXICO, March, %.
The platonic friendship which
has so long existed between ex-
Senator Dorsey and the brilliant
apostle of religious iconoclasm,
Colonel Ingersoll, a friendship and
admiration for each other render
ed conspicuous to the world by the
late Star route trials, but which in
fact ante dates by many years
that historic struggle is at last
about to bring these two national
characters together as neighbors
in the remote region of northeast
ern New Mexico. The fact illus
trates. both the strength and extent
of their symyathies-the similarity
of their tastes and the congenlality
of their minds.
That the most brilliant advocate
at the American bar; the most
formidable and destructive oppo-
nent of all the theological forms
that have crystalized about that
golden rule of love and self sacri-
flee which Christ delivered nine
teen centuries ago, that this man
of luminous mind, of infinite jest,
of exhaustless satire, of unbounded
learning, aud unmeasureable gen
erosity should inspire woshipful
friendship anybody, will certainly
not be thought remarkable. 6ul
that man so endowed, man whose
friendship confers even on the dis
tinguished, a man about whose
heath all that is most intellectual,
mosi brilliant, most generous, most
noble and healthy in the society. OF
the national capital, is wont to
gether and esteem the gathering a
privilege and an honor, should so
far reciprocate the friendship and
admiration of tbs maligned and
be-smirched Dorsey as to bury him
self in the wllds of New Mexico to
to be near him, will not be readily
conceivable, by those unacquaint-
ed with Dorsey.
But statement of the facts may
set people to thinking, and the
tendency of reflection is towards
Justice. Now, pray do not con-
clude that / am about to eulogize
Dorsey, I know better than that
AS a newspaper writer I trust I
understand my business too well
to take the unpopular side or de-
tend a man against whom the pub
lie mind is for the time being set.
I will write what the public wishes
to know or perish in the effort.

PROSPERITY OF THE COLOR
ED PEOPLE OF LENOIR
COUNTY.

By a careful estimate the color
ed of this, Kinston, Township own
at least seventy-tive thousand dol
lars, $4,000, worth of property,
bath real and personal. We have
been free twenty years and have
suffered as much as any nation on
earth.
Soon after the war the govern
ment gave horses and mules to a
few colored men, but being ignor-
ant, and utterly uneducated they
soon lost them by the raids of the
unmerciful Ku-Klux. And with
not a dollar in the world to begin
with we have, by the help OF God
and by just, liberal minded white
man we are now owning and run
ming exclusively our own stores,
banks, mills, manufactures right
here in Lenoir county. Is not that
progress.
Our people are not idle, as some
falsifers, such as one l. w. Oil.
phant, of Stellavllle, Ca, who is a
correspondent of the Southern Cul-
tiUator, have said and written; but
on the contrary, we are thrifty
and are not idlers.
The most of our people are far
mers and there is not nation on
earth who are better skilled in ag-
riculture than the colored people.
You can at any time, see the color
ed farmers coming in from tile
country driving their own teams
some are running from one to five
horses farm on their own land.
Now we ask, is not that progress =?
Why, the best mari land in the
county is owned by colored man
who is worth several thousands OF
dollars.
AGGdd AGGdd now the only cry is, 81 am
tired of paying rent and am going
to purchase me piece of land,''
and they don't stop at that, but
keep on and put that idea into ex-
ecution, aud in few years you'll
see that MIR. Colored Man is the
sole owner of that farm, or house
and lot, as the case may be.
In our little town which, if
rightly numbered would show
about $500 inhabitants, aud half
of those are colored people; there
are 63 stores and one-third ofthose
are kept by colored men. So you
see the colored man is by no means
behind the times.
Both white and colored are
friendly, a white man will trade
with eolored merchant as quick
as colored man will with the
white merchant; and with these
opportunities, advantages and
friendly feelings we are bound to
succeed.
