BISHOP HOOD AND THE SLAVES.

Bishop j w. Hood is just now re-
ceiving some unpleasant comments
from some colored men on account of an
article which appeared in the New York
World last week, which credits the
Bishop with saying in his annual adj
dress before the New England confer
ence, that it would be well for the
General Government to pay the
Southern whites 500 apiece for the
slaves. We don't know whether
Bishop Hood made the assertion or in
what connection, and if made, what
he meant by it. We could not en-
dorse it under any consideration.
AS there were about four million
slaves it would take four hundred
million dollars to pay the South for
the slaves. As there is only about
$3.50, 900, 600 surplus in the Treasury
now, if the revenue and tariff are re-
duced it would take some considerable
time and taxes to pay this amount.
Then we are opposed to the Negroes
paying for himself at this time. We
think his bondage was sufficient pay
from him. IF the Government will
tax the northern whites separately to
pay the South, we will not object
But if it is for way to spend the
surplus that is being looked after,
and it cannot be given to educate the
poor of the country, why not pay the
poor Negroes of the South for the
two years service they gave their
masters after the Government de-
clared them free, from 1868 to 1865. 1t
would be better to give the grown
men and women at least $50 or $50 a
year. Then the first six or seven years
earnings of many were lost in an in
stitution which it was understood the
Government guaranteed Why not
reimburse these poor people Or
pension the manned and orphan chill
dren and widows of colored men who
were forced to do service on the
battle field in building breast-works,
&c. for both Confcderates and FEEDER
ais.
We hope our chief church officials
will not Intentionally go into politics
and We deprecate their being dragged
in by scheming politicians. We will
not indulge any criticism on Bishop
Hood till we understand more about
it, but We denounce the idea of paying
the South for the slaves.

INKLETS FROM THE CAPITAL.

Many of our society ladies and gen.
tlemen are taking advantage of the
present changeable weather, that is
now visiting the Atlantic States, in
filling out contracts of marriage,
which were, perhaps, made under
shawls of the past chilly winter, while
others are earnestly preparing and re-
pairing their spring costumes and their
large straw hats for the purpose Of
spending pleasant day amid the
shady groves of our surrounding
country.
The first picnic of the season will
be given by the Independent Pleasure
Club on the 9Th of May. A great
time is anticipated by the young
ladies and gentlemen who are the par
Elephants in this jovial pleasure.
Wednesday evening of the 18th
inst, Mr.. Jacob J. Jones was united
in marriage to Miss Sarah Aston,
both of this city-but Mr.. Jones for
several years has been teaching in
Edgecombe county. They received
many valuable gifts from their friends.
After trying thing once, expert
ence leads many to repeat--consc-
quently the community was not shock
ed to hear of the marriage of Mr..
John Flagg to Mrs. Ora Morgan, last
Tuesday evening, the 18th inst, at
their residence in Obcrlin village.
The annual sermon to the fire de-
partment was preached on Sunday at
the First Baptist Church, by the Rev.
J. j. Worlds.
The primary meetings of the diff
ferent wards of the city will come off
in May.
There will be marriage in the In
dependent circle in very short while.
One of the fair danes has given up
a single life for a bad job, and con-
sentcd no longer to live as trims, but
one flesh.
Only three more weeks, and the
graded schools will all close. Then
the studious little school fellow will
be transformed into a street urchia,
and the police will have a jolly time
racing at the stone-throwers, bean
shooters, &c.

Growth Of Republican Sentiment.

We desire that the Republican
party should succeed because it is the
best party now in existence. Its
great opponent, the Democratic party,
has thrown its broad shadow across
the pathway of every effort made in
this country for half century to
enlarge the scope Of human freedom
and to secure to individuals the equal
measure of justice to which they are
entitled under the Constitution. The
Republican party may have swerred at
times from the great animating pur-
pose for which it was brought into
existence but at the core it has beer
amply demonstrated that it is the
party of principle, ofprogress and of
human right. The Democratic party
has been for fifty years opposed to
progress of all kinds, and has fought
the extension of human freedom inch
by inch, so that to-day it is virtually
white mans party, in which, in
some sections Of the country, colored
men are not recognized in the party
even when they desire to become
members of it.
Time was when Republican leaders
were of the opinion that the colored
man had nothing to do but stand back
and vote the parry ticket and let white
men fight the issues championed by
the party. But this opinion is fast
becoming obsolete; the colored voters
are being regarded in the same light
that other voters are, and colored
members of the party of commanding
talents are being treated with the
same Difference and consideration ac-
corded other men in the party of
equal prominence and ability. This
is right, and it must be true in
greater sense, and it will be. for men
like Senator Bruce Of Indiana, Mr..
Lynch of Mississippi, Mr.. Langston
of Virginia, Mr.. Douglass, Mr..
Quincy of Texas, Gov. Pinchback of
Louisiana, aud many others, we could
mention, we are sure, will make their
influence felt for the general benefit in
the approaching contest more than
they have done in the past, because
they are older in wisdom and because
the extrcmeties of the party make the
demand for their talents and influence
all the more imperative.
There have been great changes in
both the Republican and the Demo-
cratic party since the war; but the
changes in neither party have been so
great as those which have attended
the growth and expansion of the
Afro-American in the matter Of in
telligent discrimination and grasp Of
material substance.
Let us brace up, and let us by our
wisdom and insistence see to il that
the great party we support gives us
every right and consideration which
belong to us. Make the success Of
the party our success .-Ncr York
