There are ut present about l20 news
papers in the United States, of which
the publishers, editors, and chief con-
tribu;ors are negroes. The oldest of
them is the Elevator of San Francisco,
which has already attained its 18th
yesr. Almost all these par ers occupy
themselves with politics, aud few of
them are devoted to religious objects
The political journals, with few except.
ions, support the Republican party,
grateful for its identification with the
work of negro emancipation. The
average circulation of each of
the l20 papers is only 1000 subscrib-
ers; very lew of them are issued at
profit. Toe Baptist weekly organ of

A Call for a Meeting at MorgantOwn,
Ny. to Re organize the Greenback
Party.

The present is favorable time to
reOrganize and build up the Green
back party. Our party has accom-
plished more in less time than any
other party ever achieved before.
We caused the burning up of the
Greenback currency to be stopped.
We caused silver to be remonitized.
We procured Il decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States
establishing the fact that our none
tary doctrines are constitutional. We
have achieved many other important
reforms too tedious to mention, none
of which would have been secured
but for our organization.
The efforts now being made by
President Arthur and many promi-
nent Republicans and Democrats to
again stop the coinage of silver,
makes it indispensable that our party
should press forward.
The result of the recent President
ial election should not discourage us.
According to the tables published IN
the Americdm Sentry, one of our
ablest papers, more than 274,O
votes were cast for our ticket, So
called. This was a little fall off
from Weaver's vote of 1880. Con-
sidering the course pursued by Gen,
Butler during the canvass, it is
wonderful that so many votes were
cast for our ticket, and it indicates
that we are more than million
strong. Nothing but the intense de-
vOtion of our party to principles in
duced so many Men to vote the ticket
headed by man who so signally fail
ed to show himself true to us. The

"Suggs- and "Disgusted"

In last weeks issue of the HER
AID, a writer over the nom de- plume
of Disguised" criticised "Suggs,
the Rockport correspondent, rather
severely. We had thought, and still
think, the criticism uncalled for, as
"Suggs" has been a popular, efficient,
intelligent and honest correspondent,
and the HERALD enjoys wider cir
culation and larger patronage in that
region of country since he has been
agent and correspondent than ever
before, and double what it was when
Disguised" filled the same position.
The feeling that prompted "Dis-
gusted" to write such a criticism of
"Suggs" was no doubt one of dislike
or hatred, else why indulge in a
criticism of his personal appearance.
One who solicits the position of
agent and correspondent of his local
paper, then betrays the confidence
reposed in him and prostitutes the
position, and vents his spleen by
writing unkindly of those he envies
or dislikes and forgets to pay over
the funds collected as such agent, is
unworthy the confidence of the pub
lie and is the last person in the world
to criticise an honest, faithful agent
and correspondent like "Suggs.
Such an one is "Disgusted," and
with this we dismiss the matter.

Sherman VS.. Davis.

Last week in the Senate resolution
submitted 10y Mr.. Hawley was read re-
questing that the President communi.
cate, if he thought proper, to the
Senate "A historical statement concern
ing the public policy of the executive
depart ment of the Confederate States
during the late war of the rebellion,
reported To have been lately filed in the
War Department 10y General VIM. Il.
sherman. Mr.. Hawley said he intro
duced the resolution not TO excite any
controversy hut because of its historical
impor ,ance.
Gen. Sherman's fling the paper was
occasioned by personal quarrel be-
tween him and jefferson Davis that
recently occurred. In "A speech not
lorg since to the Frank Blair Grand
Army post, he alleged that he regarded
jefferson Davis not only as rebel. but
as q conspiraror, and that he saw not
only letters but papers captured during
the war and especially while he was
marching through Georgia, which
tended To show that jefferson Davis
while the war was progressing had
abandoned his States rights doctrines
and had become practically dictator
in the South.
Jefferson Davis heard Of this, became
augered, and wrote a bitter article TO
some newspaper, in which lie substan-
TALLY gave Gen. Sherman the lie. Gen.
Sherman then, feeling that All imputa
deposited his paper in the public rec
ords.
the Senate lively scene resulted, in
which Senators Vest, Morgan, Lamar,
sherman and Ingalls, participated. The
first three regretted the introduction of
the resolution and thought it was out
of place for the Senate to become 3
party to a personal controversy in the
public papers ofthe country. The other
two insisted that il was not mere
quarrel between private citizens, but a
matter of historical importance and
needed publicity. Mr.. Lamar denied
that jefferson Davis tried to subyert
the Confederate Government, said that
Gen. Sherman had been misinforned
and that he could not sustain the
charge against Jefferson Davis, and
asserted that Senator Sherman's speech
I was marked by hagrant Inaccuracies
/ He would allow no man in his presence
/ TO call Jefferson Davis "a traitor without
his responding with a stern and en-
phatic denial. Mr.. Sherman asked
would 1t ever be disputed in this coun-
try at any time, even IA thousand y ears
hence, that Jefferson Davis in the war
and before the war was conspirator
aud a traitor to his country. He was
firmly convinced that the rebellion was
causeless, made with bad motives, and
that all the men who led ii it were
traitors to their country. Senator Iu-
gals accused the Democratic party of
always siding with jefferson Davis.
Senator Vest thought the issues of the
late war ought not be brought into the
question. The Confederate States were
dead. Union soldiers and Confederate
soldiers slept side by side. having dis
played the matchless heroism OF both
sections.
The debate was useless and much
regretted b. the other members of the
Senate.
