ColOred Opposition Foraker.
Richard r. Greener Writes a Letter
to Beat Him in the Race for Gov
crnOr.


WASHINGTON, June S.-Well-informed
political observers here. who have studied
the situation in Ohio closely, do not see
things in that rose-colored light in which
some of the Republicans of that State seem
to view them. Iustead Of locking upon Re-
publican victory as already assured, these
impartial observers seriously doubt wheth-
er Republican success is possible. There
| is no question that the colored vote of the
State is going as solidly against Foraker as
it did two years ago. Representative col-
ored men here, who have been in CORE
spond nee with leaders Of their race in
Ohio, find that the colored voters are ve1y
generally disposed to drift away from the
Republicans. Pref. Richard T. Greener,
who has been q prominent Republican
speaker. and was particularly active in the
last campaign in Ohio. has written the fol.
lowing letter to tue Hon. John P Green, a
colored lawyer Of Cleveland, endorsing his
opposition to the Republican nominee:
Hon. John p Green:
My Dear Friend: thank you for tle
manly stand you have taken SO early against
the nomination of Foraker Stick to il and
rouse the colored vote, which is grossly in :.
suited by such nomination. He was de-
servedly beaten two years age, and ought
to be beaten worse now. I think the col.
or-d people of this country have eaten po
litical crow long enough, and if Repabli-
cans do not respect us sufficiently 10 pay

our feelings, then let them be Taught les

know q dozen good men, true men with an
army record, men who are Republicans
worthy Of the State and the party. men who
could carry the State. When such men are
sacrificed for men like Foraker, the Negro
ought to show that he has something to
say. The Republican party has been court
ing and inviting defeat for eight years by
Its arrant cowardice. truculency, and exul-
tation of little men with hig ambition, no
heart, and contempt for principles.
The Negro is not responsible for its
blunders, timidity, or consequent defeats;
but when the party goes on adding Insult
to treachery and cowardice, it is high time
for every self-respecting Negro throughout
the country to cry ''Halt r. I confess

The National Holiday.

This being the Glorious Fourth Of

served as National Holiday. We
hear Of no further observance of the

the Postoffice and other Government

the banks. Time was when grand

Rich C0lOred Families Of New
Orleans.
Some Effects of the Exposition.

Some EheCtS OF the Exposition
From Corresp1 1ndence N. Y. Sun.
Freedom has killed miscegenation. The
white and black races are drifting further
apart every day, and the mixed breeds are
growing fewer. One-third of the Negroes
of New Orleans in '6S were of mixed blood
There is less danger to-day of the creation
of mixed breed in the South, such as ex-
lists in Mexico and South America now,
than in the days of slavery.
1t is not to be supposed, however, that
the former free people of color have alto.
gether disappeared. They are fewer in
number. it is true. and have lost many Of
their distinctive characteristics, but there
still remain number of these ancient FAM
lilies, to whom the results of the war are
yet mystery.
There are probably dozen colored men
of this class in New Orleans worth over
$1,000 in real estate. most of whom in
herited their wealth, were always rich, and
never fought their way up from slavery. A
few weeks ago the Christ Church property
on Canal straet, the seat of the first Protes-
tant church in the Mississippi Valley, was
purchased by the Mercier Brothers for
$50, 900. They are now erecting upon il
he tines, business block in the city. Ii
will cost over Sl20,0O0 Tue Merciers, who
control perhaps the largest clothing busi.
ness in New Orleans. and who have a hum
dred or more white men in their employ,
are colored--true representatives of the old
free people Of color OF New Orleans. Op-
pOsite the Custom House is another row of
elegant commercial buildings, also the
property of colored man, Aristide Marie,
as fine type of the colored aristocrat Ae
one would want to see-elegant in his
dress and manners. type of a fine French
gentleman.
Among the results of the late New Or
leans Expos tron no one has called atten-
ton to the great progress it gave to what
the negroes call civil rights. During the
past IL years the negroes have been steadi
iy gaining. They have slowly but surely
found themselves into every trade and pro-
fession, and have become SO strong that
the trades unions have been compelled to
recognize them. 1t would t1rn gray the
old ante. bellum leaders to see the trade
profession here, the colored unions as nu-
raerous os the white, the two races march,
ing together side bv side, bound by the
brotherhood of labor. The distinction be-
tween the two races is now corfined to q
very few points. The Negro cannot eat OF
drink with the white man; cannot occury
the same hote! or sleeping car. The Expo
sition played havoc with the former preju-
dices. There was some little attempt to
draw the color line, and special restau-
rant was established for the negroes. The
white people crowded into it, and in a
short time, what with the Mexicans, Arabs,
and Hawaians. even the most acute Orlean-
ist could not distinguish the colors. The
old prejudice was dropped; the negroes
went everywhere. and found not the slight.
est distinction made on account of race or
color. 1t was almost revolutionary
| change; bat it remains to be seen whether
i. will make permanent impression on
New Orleans.

in this country is one wherein honest men
differ as to the expediency Of pushing it;

MONTGOMERY, June IL, 1885. }

CIRCULAR 13.
To Probate Judges:
desire to call your special attention to
sections 80, 10, and AZ. pages 33, 81 and 80
respectively, of the Revenue Code, and te
respectfully ask that the Commissioners
Court Of your county give patient careful
and thorough examination to each assess.
,nent list filed by the Tax Assessor.
The description of real estate should be
so particular aud accurate that the proper.
ty can be readily identified and. of perso-
nal property, each different item should be
numbered and taxed separate from the
others; whereas descriptions are often sc
vague and il definite that the assessments
are void for want of certainty.
A correct, legal and complete assessment
of property for taxation is the basis of an
efficient revenue system. and if this ground
work is irregular, defective or illegal, the
machinery of the whole system is thrown
out of gear.
The State revenue. estimated upon the
last assessment, is diminished by probably
$50, 600 per annrm through the reduction
If the tax rate.
The interest on the bonded debt of the
State will be increased by about $40, 600 per
annum. beginning to run July l, 1886, and
this must be paid ont of revenue received
uron the current assessment.
1t must be plain to every one that com.
plete, thorough and legal assessment Of all
property and objects of taxation is essential
to the maintenance of the credit Of the
State. Very Respectfully,
N. @. BURKE, :
Auditor.

Our Duty to the Living and the

Says the Washington Peoples 4,


Says the Washington Peoples I'D
rUc0te:
"The colored soldiers and sailors
who fought in defence of the union
ought now to be remembered by the
living in a most substantial and befit-
ting manner. They ought to have a
monument, and the colored people of
the whole country should unite in one
grand effort to erect at the National
Capital monument which shall be n
credit to our race, and which shall
tell to future generations the story of
Negro bravery in all the wal 9 of th
republic. We believe that Congress
would set aside tract Of land, some
where in the District limits, for the
erection of q suitable monument to
our dead heroes. We hope our sol
dier friends. and indeed every patri-
ctic colored person, will int. rest
themselves in this matter; we hope
that the pastors, sunday school teach
ers and scholars. will respond cheer
fully aud willingly to the demand for
evidence Of their race pride and pa
triotism, and show that the Negro
soldiers and sailors of the q. S. Army
and Navy. are as worthy Of being re-
membered in brenze and marble as
those OF other races, who are indebt
ed to Us for most Of the laure.s they
wear.
"Wake up friends, and start the
ball rolling for . monument to our
brave black defenders"
Well and nobly spoken. But
should We not first discharge eur duty
to the living? Where are the wid-
ows and orphans and the provisions
for properly caring for and educating
such orphans, the homo for the
MANNED. disabled, the aged colored
soldier or sailor? Our duty is first
to these survivors Of the brave dead;
next, the monument. Alabama
stands ready to respond as literally

Moving in the Right Direction.

President Kings appointing William Clements
general manager of the Erie road is looked upon
with favor Mr. Clements's railroad career be-
gan on the Little Miami. Afterwards he acted
as general agent for the Baltimore & Ohio at
Parkersburg and at Lafayette Ind, and was
then promoted to be master of transportation.
Mr.. King, having come from the Baltimore g.
Ohio, knew the man thoroughly and selected him
for his general manager. He is a very capable
and popular man. Ever since Gould and Fisk
Quilted the road there has not been time when
this once magnificent property was
not on the verge Of bankruptcy,
principally owing to mismanage-
ment In all its departments, and it was common
rumor that the socalled perquisites of the Off
Gals were many times in excess of their sala
ries This was the condition in which Mr.. Kin G
found things, and the weary stockholders and
bondholders were gaddened when the broom
was applied to certain departments. What Mr..
Clements will do remains to be seen, but he is
good railroad man and has clean reputation.
There are still other changes that could be made
to advantage and it is likely that Mr. Clements
will not be long In finding out where to look for
leaks. 1t is question, however, whether the
Erie. even if it should succeed in finding thor
ough business genius for every department, can
earn enough to pay the interest On it's large
bonded debt for many years to come

route over which the lakes reached from the

located at the Little Falls uotch of the Allegheny
