THEY WANTED A WOMAN.

Fast and furiously gather the
same influences and methods
around our schools and colleges as
there are in purely political offices.
Heretofore we have looked upon a
position of a teacher and professor
not as one subjected to ebbs and
flows according as sentiment of
dislike is created or some one else
wants his place, but as onein which
gress and experience proves that
these relations cannot at once be
severed without doing great harm
and great injustice to both. For
some reason or other the faculty of
Howard University upon a sugges-
tlon OF the principal of the Normal
department, has requested the res.
lgnatlon OF one of it's tutors. The
young man who held the place is
certainly capable in every particu
lar. He is purely product of that
Institution having gone through all
OF its grades and finished college at
the head of one of the finest class
es Howard ever produced. He was
called to take the place of a young
man whom i'll health had incapaci,
ted for duty and who, had he not
been thus disabled, would have Ger.
talnly continued as an instructor.
But the principal a lady of high
standing and education whose su-
perior cannot be found guided by
what may be styled the interest of
her department desired a lady
teacher Instead of the young collie
gean who was then filling with
credit this position.
This young man was not spoken
to about the desired change. no
hint or word was ever given that
the change was intended. Moth
ing was known of the matter to the
young man until he received a note
which some one had placed on his
desk stating that his services would
be no longer required. We look
upon things OF this nature in gov
ernment Offices as offensive and
cannot see why a man should not
know the cause of dismissal. Much
more do we regret to see this man.

No one has any blame to attach
to the change if it conduces to the
best interest of the school. The

In our review of the colored press.
we have endeavored to be fair
to all, Notwithstanding the less
merited ones have attempted to
misconstrue us and have gone into
personal abuse which did not effect
us in the least. To those journals
that deserve honorable mention,
we didnot hesitate in given it
believing that our journalistic ex-
preston was a sufficient recommen-
dation to make fair and just crit
cisms. The colored press, within
less than five years, will be felt in
this country. The colored editors,
with but few exceptions, have
thrown off the mass of blindness.
they are no longer the serts of
party.
OUR ADVICE
to colored editors is unison of ac.
ton, for the race. Let the press
convention show bv united action
what it can do. The southern Ne.
gro still bleeds, the chain of op.
preston still binds him the dutv of
the colored press now is to liberate
the many thousands in chains.
When we say liberate, we mean to
educate them to be manly, indus

is needed. There is no hope for

Republican faith. NJ. ID. Dickinson pre-
sided. but upon taking the chair failed TO
state, as he did at the Cedar Grove brick
church last week, hat he was neither
ashamed nor afraid TO preside at a Repub-
lican meeting. As at that meeting, so on
this occasion the remarks of the speakers
were aimed mainly at the Prohibitionists.
When they undertook to discuss anything
else they were soon back to the one burden Of
their thoughts, the dread Of the third party.
Mr.. Braker advocated high license and
Speaker Armstrong, while not quite so
plain upon this point, expressed himself in
favor of submitting to the people the ques-
ton of the regulation, control or prohibition
of the liquor traffic, as stated in the So
called temperance plank Of the Republi-
can platform and said that the desire of
his heart was accomplished when that
plank was adopted. The IIarrisonville
brass band enlivened the meeting with ex-
eellent music. Hon. George Hires and

were present.

Court News.

The time of the Salem County Courts
on Friday last was occupied in the hearing
of contested will eases. of which there were
three. The will of Charles Elkinton, offer
ed for probate and caveated, was laid over
until the adjourned session in December.
The will Of Ruth Buzby was offered for
probate and opposed on the ground of
mental incapacity on the part of the tesla
trix and undue influence in procuring the
making of the same on the part OF the priii-
cipal legatee. A large number of wit
nesses were examined and the decision of
the court was reserved until December.
w. r. billiard appeared for the will and
c.. II. Sinnickson for the cayeators.
Tie will of Catharine McCoubrie was
offered for probate, and argument was
heard for and against the same, Robert
McCoubrie, the husband of the testatrix,
having filed 4 caveat against the will and 4
petition for his own appointment as admin
~istrator. The will having been executed
in 1872. before the enactment of the statute
giving a married woman power to make a
will in ~derogation of the common law rights
Of her husband, and it appearing that the
tcstatrix died seized of personal property
only. the Court refused probate of the will
on the ground that there was nothing upon
which it could operate, and granted admin
i,tration to Robert McCoubrie and letters
were issued to him accordingly by the Sur
rogatc on Saturday. Alfred llugg, o
Camden, appeared for the will, and II. ),
Foeg and NJ. p. Grey for the caveator.
