the vote of the people decided that
Rev. Grimkie. was the man want
ed. 1t will be remembered that the

church and it feels itself highly
congratulated that its suggestion
was adheared to and that Rev.
Grimkie is to be pastor of the
church again. The supporters of
Rev. Grimkie should feel proud oil
their success Notwithstanding the

WHAT is THOUGHT OF HIM.

One Mr.. Oates, a member of
Congress from Alabama, in an in
terview with the New York
WORLD, has delivered himself of
an opinion which ought, and no
doubt will, make him solid with
bis constituents. The gallant Col.
must be given credit for a frank
ness which in this age of deceit and
assembling, is simply marvellous.
1t is an opinion held by a large
number of the ultra bOurbons of
his school, bnt none of them have
been so profuse of speech as the
Col. He says sit is not Harrison,
wnom the South has to fear. but
the indicative masses behind
him." The Col. no doubt refers
to that indicative class whose
brain, energy and enterprise, has
been, and is now, the life blood OF
the South and with whose aid it
would still be the desolate and i'm
poverished region the war left 1t.
Of course this class referred to,
greatly enjoy the complimentary re-
marks from the redOubtable Col, it
doubtless will be the means Of in
ducing large number of Northern
Capitalists, who, hitherto have con-
fined their operations North, to
seek new fields in a land where
they are held in such high esteem.
In speaking of the relation of rae
es South, he breaks forth in wild
impassioned strain. s'The only
hope I see is the total elimination
of the negro from politics." Nothing
short of total elimination will save
the South from an awful fate. 1t re-
auires no keen sensation to see the
intense agony detected on the
Co.'s. face as he uttered that prop
hetic remark.
Take notice, members of the pres.
ent Congress, the South, the bleed
ing suffering South, on her bendeC
knees implores you to save her
and nothing will assuage her great
grief, but the "tOtal elimination,
! policy as promulgated by Sir Ora
Gle Col. Oats. He has sounded tn,
alarm, and if you would save he
YOU must com nence at once the
work of total elimination. How
much suspense and anxiety coul'
have been saved had the COL, bu
pointed out this danger before tn
election, every candidate for con
gress could have been told his sue
cess depended entirely on the ardo
he showed in the laudable work {

REV. LEE ON THE SOUTH
THE ELOQUENT ORATOR
SPEAKS.

Rev. Geo. W. Lee, Of the 5th
Baptist church preached an able
sermon last Sunday morning and
in his concluding remarks he ref
cred to the attack of the Southen
democrats upon the colored peo-
pie when they accuse them of
domineering over the whites and
the cry is raised simply because
colored men attempt to assert their
rights as men and they say that
the negro should be disfranchised.
So says the negro hater Oates, of Al
ALBANIA on last Friday. But be says
that he can't blame the democrats
of the South for crying and weep
ing; for you can imagine how a
man would feel when be sees a
race that he has been driving for
$50 years, steps up to him within
the next 5 years as Congressman,
Senators, SherIfs aud SIT beside
him as jurors al exercising the
rights aud priviledges of citizen
ship when he had fought to keep
him in slavery; when his sons had
been killed on the field to perpetu-
ate slavery and keep the negro
in bondage. When he sees that all
of his efforts have been In vain it's
enough tc make him miserable
and say That the NEGRO is domineer
ing over the whites. When be
knows that he raises the cry for
the purpose of raising riot so as
to kill the colored people aud tn en-
say that the negroes are uprising
You must excuse me for talking
politics as [ don't desire to have
much to do with politics but when
[ see a colored man calling him
self democrat know that he
where he is not wanted For the
democratic party has said that
they didn't want the negro in his
party. So my advice is for the ne
gro to keep out of the democratic
party for he is where he is not
wanted, for any colored man tina
goes to the democratic party to
look for his rights, might just as
