COURT CAPPERS.

Some of the most disgraceful
practices about our Police Court
which was disgusting in the eyes
Of Judge Sneli and very distastfui
to Judge Miller, are the cappers.
These men catch prisoners, bribe
witnesses and manufacture evi.
dence which should be stopped
Immediately. Judge Miller cali
ed the attention of the District
attorney to these men sometime
ago, aud it is hoped that he will
prose ecute every case that is prop
erly brought to his notice. This
practise among certain lawyers
who haug around the Police Court,
is a disgrace to the legal profess
sion, aud the sooner that an, end is
put to it the better it will be. \

OUR 7TH VOLUMN.

Again we notify our friends and
patrons, of the BEES 7th birthday!
We have managed to enter into,
our 7th birthday with a bright
future before us, while we have
not pleased every body, we know
that some one must have been
satisfied from our increased circu-
lation and the support that we
have received. 1t was our inteh-
ton to have celebrated this event
in a manner fit only for the Gods,
but as the presidential election is
near at hand and since the demand
OF the people is for tri-weekly or
daily, we assure you that one Or
the orther shall be forth coming
before the presidential election.
We propose to give the people a
paper that VII be an honor to the
race and the cause we espouse,
"negro equality before the law"
and political liberty 10 all classes
irrespective Of color aud condition.
Tbarking you for past fsvors,
please continue to pour your bless.

head, O., two years earlier, and
reafirmed in a speech at Whining

And on the 5th of January, 1887.
he introduced bill in the Senate
extending the principle mention
ed, so as to grant arrears OF pen
sions from the date of disability
to soldiers with lost limb.
He voted for the "dependent
pension BILL" and ;others which
Cleveland vetoed. He voted for
the law which requires a prefer.
ance to be given to soldiers in
making appointments to office
he faithfully executed it when
Secretary Of the Treasury, and as
President would not permit Its
evasion, as under Cloveland's
administration. Both before and
during the war he was in con
stant correspondence with his
illustrious brother-Generaf w.
T. Sherman-and fully shared
with him in his devotion to the
Union and the necessity of main
tanning the authority of the
National Government by force of
arms. This correspondence extends
through the war, embracing al
most every battle or chief event
from the time that General Sher-
man left his position as Military
Instructor in Louisiana before the
commencement of the war to it's
close. This correspondence may
yet throw flood of light on the
history of military operations
and other topics of that evenful
period, in which General and
Senator Sherman were prominent
figures.
He was among the first and
most earnest advocates Of the en-
listment of colored men as sold
iers. Thus the soldiers have no
truer friend than Senator Sher-
man, and but few with equal
ability and influence to reuder
them effective service.

BEWARE.

We take this opportunity to
warn the colored people in this
city against a certain class uf mon
ey sharks and spectators.
The first thing they do is to pre-
tend to aid those who are in need
of money or aid them in property
matters, &c, or endeavor to per-
suade you to go somebody's bond.
The city is full of such class OF
men and We hope that the more
unfortunate class of eolored peo-
pile will be on their guard and go
to reliable persons when they are
in need of assistance. Then, there
is a class of newspaper sharks in
town who will start a paper for
the purpose of fleeing congress
men and heads of departments.
These sharks will 60 to repub,
lican member and say that he is
struggling hard for the republican
party; that they are doing all they
eau to convince the independent
voters or colored democrats that
it is wrong to support the DEM
ocratlc party; they will next visit
a democrat, ask for a subscription
and say that their paper is inde-
pendant in politics; that they are
using their Influence, among their
people, 10 divide their vote among
the democrats and republicans;
that it is useless for all negroes to
be republicans. They will next
call on some of the more liberal
heads of the departments and give
them a similar racket: They will
also say that they desire to en-
large their paper, but after they
have fieeced these men, to make
their words good, they will send
to the Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York or Pittsburg newspa-
per union and order about 80
quires of double sheet patent
newspaper with about I of a
column of original matter and de-
clare that it is the greatest news
paper 10 the country. They have
no means of a legitimate sup
port; their stock IN trade Is TO
rob the people Look out for
them they 60 in pairs. One has
a mean and hungry look while
the other looks like he would
devour hog hairs.
You can't mistake them, they
have always got some great
scheme on foot. You can redily
recognize them as soon as this
article appears

ville---why does not the PELIcAF ad-
vocate their arrest and conviction
to the penetentiary-where they
belong?
Mr.. Speaker, nationally speaking,
I am for James G. Blaine for the
presidency of the republic, and will
do all that may lie in my power to
nominate and elect him without in-
sulting the pride and honor of the
HOO white men who voted for me
to represent ''Sweet Ibervllle" upon
this floor. And, Sir. | desire to
say to my colored friends every
where, that they must not take the
contemptious opinion of my enemies
and thereby misjudge me--because
| have promised, and will be as
true to their personal interest, as a
good slave was to his ''master be-
fore the war;" But, if they expect
me to unbury the political dead
excite new the campfres of pOlit-
ical conflicts that should be ended,
or to kindle atresh the passions
that have cost us so much blood
and sorrow, they will have to send
some one else here to represent
them because [ have said before

not believe that by postponing the
final hour of peace and reconcilia-
ton, that a political victory deserv.

OUR SCHOOLS.

The exhibition at the E street
rink, under the auspices of Mr..
Powell and the white board of
school trustees, shows the enter
prise of those gentlemen and the
lack of interest and enterprise of
those who have charge of the col
ored schools, with one or two
exceptions. We understand that
some one connected with the COL
ored schools has suggested the
propriety of having an exhibi-
ton, but who is at the head of it
we are unable to state.
We suppose however that it
started of Its own accord and will
run accordingly. We would sug.
gest to DIR. Francis and Mr.. Cor
nish to take the matter in hand
themselves or put some live man
at the head of it who will make il
a success. Now gentlemen if you
want to do the community SER
vice aud improve the condition of
our public schools, We would sug-
gest that you recommend to Com
missioner Webb the appointment
of a live superintendent in the
place Of Mr.. Cook. We know that
these gentlemen have the interest
of the schools at heart and would
make any sacrifice to put them
upon an equal footing with the
white schools, but, you know as
well as the community that the
present superintendent is an i'm
pediment to the schools. 1t is
your duty gentlemen as public
officers, not to allow sentiment
to control you, to request the COM
missioners to. make a change In
the head of our schools for their
own good.

SHERMAN WILL COMMAND
THE CORDIAL SUPPORT
OF THESOLDIERS OF
THE UNION ARMY.

Mr.. Sherman, while a member
of the House of Representatives,
in March, 1861, was elected to
the Senate of the United States,
and took his seat as Senator,
March 23rd 1861. 1t was not uu-
til the attack on Fort Sumpter,
in April, 1861, that civil war
was regarded inevitable. The
Senate having adjourned before
this event, Mr.. Sherman was on
his way home when the first proc
lamation of Mr.. Lincoln calling
for $4,000 troops was issued. In
the latter part of April two Ohio
regiments were ordered to Pnila-
delphia. Mr.. Sherman joined them
at Harrisburg, and there rendered
his services to General Paterson,
who appointed him id:deScamp
without pay, and he served IN
this capacity until the extra ses-
sion of Congress in July. After
the Adjournment OF this session of
this Congress, Mr.. Sherman,
under the .authority>of Governor
Dennlson, recruited on his own
plan, and largelyatAis oa0n erpense,
TWO regiments of Infantry, a
squadron of calvary, and a battery
OF artillery, comprising over $500
men. lie went to Washington
at the meeting of Congress in
December, intending to resi- n
his seat as Senator and offer his
services in the army, but changed
his purpose at the request OF: Pres
ident Lincoln and Secretary Chase,
who desired him to remain in the
Senate on the ground that he
could there s'be of more service to
the Union cause"
The suppre sion of the rebellion
required brave, patriotic men, and
it also required "the sinews of
war"-money. It is an error to
suppose that the public debt at
any time represented fully the
cost of the rebellion. The tota!
'sexpenditures growing out of the
war" from July 1st, 1861 to June
3Oth 1879, were $6,189,920,9 ,9O8;
yet there then remained unpaid
of this vast sum a public debt of
only 2,249,567,482 No Nation
in the worlds history ever raised
SO large a sum, and paid off so
much oft within the same period.
10 Mr., Sherman, more than any
other m n in public life. belongs
the credit Of this unexampled per-
formance. The measures in Con-
gress, devised and carried through
by his agency and aid, fed and
clad and paid our soldiers, and
furnished the means which
brought the war to a successful
Issue, and has since paid their
we'll, earned and richly-deserved
pensions. In hands less compe.
tent than those of Mr.. Sherman
the defeat and fall of The Repub-
lie might have been written. For
these services he has claims upon
the gratitude and the votes of
the soldiers. He IS in full accord
aoith them IN all they ask, in the
way of pensions and otherwise.
Chief among their requests is, that
Congress will "repeal the restric-
tions limiting arrearages of pen
sions 10 applications made prior
to July lst, 1880, and allowing
all persons to C aim pensions from
the date of disability without
respect to the time of filing their
application" He is in favor of
the repeal, and ma le an earnest

Senate January 9th, 1887. This
only reiterated sentiments he ex-
pressed In a speech at Mt. Gill
