To the Editors:
In relation to the con-
firmation of j. g. Matthews, ESQ.,,
Recorder Deeds for the District of
Columbia, your cooperation fav
orable thereto is respectfully de-
sired. You are doubtless aware
that at the last session of the u.
S. Senate the name of Mr.. Mat
thews was rejected only upon the
ground of his being non resident
of the District of Columbia. This
is not a legal disqualification--
all of his predecessors having
been non residents and the ohjec-
ton thus raised is without prece-
dent. The President, notwith
standing the rejection upon so
fimsy pretext reappointed Mr..
Matthews after the adjournment
of Congress and his name will
again be sent to the Senate for
confirmation at an early day.
The colored people of Washington
sincerely wish to have Mr.. MAJ
thews promptly confirmed, and
the colored people of the United
States is called upon to assist in
the consummation of this work.
Nearly all of the colored newspa-
pers endorsed the appointment of
MIR. Matthews when he was first
appointed by the President. 1t is
proposed to obtain and publish
clippings or excerpts from the
colored newspapers of the country
as embodying the opinion of the
colored PRESS favorable to the
confirmation of Mr.. Matthews as
a just recognition of the rights of
colored citizens to political pre-
ferment. A brief pointed editor
ial in your next issue touching
this subject will materially assist
In furnishing U. s. Senators with
the proof that under the circum-

OUR CLAIM.

The colored citizens claim a dis
pensary i'm the community, manag-
ed exclusively by colored physi-
clans, for three very important rea-
sons.
1st. That practical experience
has much to do with the skill of
physicians, who have to deal with
human vitality, and especially the
tender care of females. End. The
colored physicians and students are
not allowed to practice in any one
of the Is or 20 free dispensaries and
Hospitals in this city, nor do the
whites treat the colored females
with any more respect there, than.
they do ordinarily, and the eolored
are more manly, and can do it
equally as well. Sd That the col
ored citizens are decidedly unwill-
ing, to entrust the care of their
wives, daughters, sisters, and other

THE FREEDMANS BANK,

One of the silent points in the
Presidents Annual Message is his
reference to, the Freedmans Saving
Bank, the defunet and bankrupt
institution which has left to its cred
ulous depositors an unpaid bal
ance Of thirty eight cents on the
dollar. The President recommend
ed that the government assume the
Indebtedness of the Bank and pay
of the balance due as a matter of
equity and fairness. There is a sa.
lubrity about this portion of the
message which is refreshing, espec-
tally to the inveigled depositors,
and whether congress does or does
not approve the suggestion ofMr.
Cleveland he has put himself on
record as a sympathizer with the
sufferers of the Bank failure a large
majority of whom are colored peo-
pie who entrusted the safe keeping
of their hard earnings to this
Bank, chartered by a Republican
Congress ostensibly to encourage

female relatives, to the cruel curl
osity of white students, or treache-
rous old physclans, who refuse to
practice with colored physicians.
They assert their unwillingness
with a stern protest, that the
race in this city, will hold
the present managers respon-
sible for so silent permission Civ.
en- by us to such a course of treat
ment as described in the face of all
reasonable protest, and in the Sun
light Of justice.
DR.. B. B. Adams, and young DR..
Glenen, both of whom are gradua-
tes from the Medical College of the
Howard University, received their
diplomas, threw them away in
some obscure place, and went to
Georgetown College for a End
Graduation, which they did for the
purpose We suppose to elevate
themselves about th8status OF negro
graduates. All of this is the mean
est feature in the human conduct
and the greatest contempt and i'm
position which could be practiced
upon us as a race.
We have In this city population
of 2O5, 900 with $4,000 colored citi,
zens; with about 20 medical insti-
tutions in the city, and not one col:
ored. To show you that the How
ard University is not a colored in
stitution, it is the only institution
in this city where colored students
are allowed to practice, Of the
medical college consist of white
students who control it through
the agency of the white faculty.
AS good exchange is no robbery,
and turn about is fair play, please
give us all of Howards or equal
chance in the others.

LIN relation to Liberia the Presi-
dent in his recent message to Con-
gress recommended that the Uuited
States, present the government of
Liberia with a suitable vessel for
the protection Of her coast aud in
the interest Of her revenue. The
President suggested that while
this government could not assume
the protectorate over Liberia, yet
as a matter of recognition of dis
tant colony, founded by American
Citizens and with political institu-
tions similar to our own, this act
of assisting weak and struggling
Republic to the extent recommend
ed would not be out of place.
As a token of amicable relations
the presentation of a vessel is all
right, but as an act Of charity for
the government of Liberia to accept
of the gift would be humiliating
in the extreme.

BLOOD.sUCKERs.

And now comes Alabama's sa-
bic sons and a few other Negroes
of different states with another
gigantic fraud to perpetrate upon
the colored people of the United
States. How long, O Lord, how
long will it be before the different
blood-suckers of their own race
will be satiated? The fraud we
at present refer to is the "Colored
Worlds Exposition to be held in
Montgomery, Alabama, in 1878,
with the following named at the
head, and a cash t?l capital of
$20,000: S. A. McElwee of Ten
nessee, Rev Jas. A. Foster of
Alabama, Felix Andry of Ala
bama, Jno. B Guison of Alabama,
E. G. Cato of Alabama, Rev. w.
q. Strong of Alabama, w. w
Henderson of Illinois, r. NJ
Mitchell of Illinois.
These gentlemen, or, at least, the
Illinois contingent, have been for
years making the scheme and lay
ing the foundation of what has at
last been stopped out'' as grand
superstructure of fraud and swim
ding. They came to Washington
with this embryonic exposition in
their minds, and indeed, some
part of it on paper in their pockets
and submitted it to our august
parsonage for inspection and
sanction. We inspected but failed
to sanction for we saw fraud was
at the bottom of this deep laid
scheme. Now it turns out that
these directors intend to issue and
sell "stoek" to the unsuspecting
and ignorant of their own race,
and have gone so far as to get an
empty endorsement from the city
council and legislature to help
them hoodwink these poor people
into buying stock. We say empty
endorsement because neither the
city council nor the Legislature
guaranteed to appropriate a single
dollar to aid the enterprise. Oh
course the white people of Alaba
ma will endorse anything good,
bad or Indifferent that will induce
the Negroes from all over the
United States to come to Alabama
and spend their money and at
the same time enrichen the owners

OUR NEIGHBOR.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Advocate i'm a column editorial
attempted to reply to a paragraph
in our Weekley Review, concern
ing the discharge of Mr.. Lewis II.
Douglass, from the Recorder of
Deeds office. The advocate" says
that it does not know whether Mr..
Douglass was discharged or not.
Our neighbor will not endeavor to
prevaricate, because it did say that
Mr.. Douglass was shamefully dis
missed from the Recorders office,
and among other things, in reply
to our article, it gives us. the SOL
diers racket. This racket has been
played long enough and we think
that it is about time to give ita rest.
The editor says that Mr.. Douglass
served as soldier; that he was
discharged by a Negro democrat
&c. We have no fight to make
against Mr.. Douglass, we are more
magnanimous than some people
give us credit of being. Whether
MIR. Douglass resigned of his voli-
ton Or whether he was asked to
resign, we are not prepared to state,
but, this much we do know that
Mr.. Douglass resigned. If his
resignation was demanded, per-
haps there vas cause for it. If it
were not demanded there is no
cause to make fuss over it.

THE MOVEABLES OF HERE
FORD.

When a politician wants an
Office, he will make all kinds of
promises to his constituents. He
will tell them if he is elected he will
give them offices, look out for their
friends and do any thing that they
may ask. So it was with the
Duke of Gloster. when his ambition
forced him to seek the English
throne. He promised the Duke of
Buckingham, if he was made King
he would give him the "Movea-
bles of Hereford" He was made
King through the trickery of the
Duke Of Buckingham, but the
promises of Gloster were soon
broken. To day we find men hold
ing positions or elevated above the
common level, through the infu-
ence of their friends, but what
has become of the promises they
made to them? Charles 1st, had
his Cromwell, Caesar his Brutus
and there are many men holding
big positions to day who are sur
rounded by knaves and blackguards.
The men who degrades his for
mer employer to the one by whom
he is succeeded is a knave and a
Scoundrel. We have drawn the
picture, will the wise take hold be-
fore it is too late?

ST. GABRIEL LEVEE.

The first payment has been made
to Hon. L. Il. Allan, of La, on his
contract to build the St. Gabriel
Levee in Louisiana. Mr.. Allain is
not only a business man, but he
is the greatest rice and sugar plan
ter in the South.
The Daily Capitolian' Advocate,
Of La, speaks of him as follows
Mr.. Allain takes especial pride
in the fact that he is the first repre-
sentative of the colored race in
America, who has been awarded a
similar contract directly from the
State government. He deems it
due to Hon. Edward J. Gay, M. c.,
Capt. Charles A. Brusle, sheriff,
Judge E. B. Talbot, of the Twenty
third District, and j. McWilliams,
ESQ.,. of Iberville, to acknowledge
that he owes this compliment to
them, from the fact that they cheer
fully gave him their support and
individual bonds in the matter. He
points to this circumstance as an
evidence that the relations between
the two races have never been so
thoroughly cordial as at present
since the freedom of his race.
Mr.. Allain was recently made
recipient of copy of General
Grants history sent by the family
Of General Grant, for having-been
one of the 306 who stood for his

THE NORMAL SCHOOL
TEACHER.

We understand that some one
went to the District Commission
ers and informed them that one of
the teachers in the Normal school
was deaf and incompetent to teach.
So tar as we know, the lady to
whom this official referred has
been teaching in our public schools
for a number OF years and is one
who has shown herself competent
in every particular. We have a
certain class of Negro school offic-
ials who go to the Commissioners
with everything. They don't
seem to have any judgment or
thought of their own, 80 it is with
some of our school trustees, who
must consult the Superintendent,
to see if he objects to the promo
ton of a worthy lady in the
schools when the trustees believe
that such a teacher should be pro-
noted. The Washington people
must put a halt to these would be
guardians of our children. Ii the
people do not lookout for those
who are entitled to schools and
especially their daughters who
graduate from our public Normal
school these new comers will
thrust upon them those from other
states and crowd out our young
ladies and men. The Normal
school teacher whom this indivi-
dual reported is ohe of US, while
he is not, and any attempt to
practice foul play we shall take a
hand in it. We would like to
know something about the Teach
er's Relief Association. 1t is un-
derstood that the colored teachers
pay in the same amount of money
to the association per capita as the
whites, yet in cases of sickness
and death they receive only one
half as much benefit. In other
words when death ensues, the
benefciaries of the deceased are
supposed to receive $500. The
whites as we understand it do re-
ceive that amount. The benef-
ciaries of a colored teacher who
recently died received $3.50, not
withstsnding the teacher was
wholly financial in the order at
the time of her death. Is there a
collusion anywhere?
