The petroits Jump On Morris.

DETROIT, May 2.-The Wolverines all tried to hit the pennsnt pole in centerfeld in to- days game and while engaged in this pastime they unwittingly injured Morris feelings. Twenty hits for twenty-nine Dsses is the re- cord against the gastown south-paw, and he is in the pink of condition. Conway pitched six innings without giving a hit, when Twitchell went into the box and two hits but no runs were made. Pittsburg's only run was due to tumble by Brouthers.

which reaches the Bishops, this
brother is promoted. Can church
succeed when it allows favoritism to
take place of merit.
Rev. J. T. Gaskill took charge Of
Grace church last Sunday. He was
kindly received. the church being
pleased with him. He will be well
cared for and he is expected to bring
Grace church up to its proper place
the best church in the Conference.
Evil men should not be kept be-
hind screen in a church. Wicked
ness in high places should be brought
down and exposed. Those fellows
who made for themselves such an
unenviable reputation outside of the
Conference, drinking whisky, &C.,
were bad representatives of Christian
church. The parties that bought the
stuff and carried the bottle told on
you. The ladies said you were
drunk and smelt of whisky.

For Public Printer.

One of the most important appoint
ments to be made by the President is
Public Printer. Besides the impor-
tant duties of this Office, there are
over 5000 employees under his control.
The law requires besides other things
that the places shall be filed by a
practical printer. The Hon. John
Nichols Of Raleigh has been suggested
as a suitable man. North Carolina
heartily endorses Mr.. Nichols. He
was raised up in a printing Office and
knows all about the business, besides
his dealing with public affairs more
thoroughly fit him for the place and he
represents the right section.

California Migration.

The emigration fever struck this
section few years ago and many have
since gone from this city to California
and other western States. About a
hundred from this county have gone
to California and are in continued
correspondence with their friends here.
Several have returned on visits and
gone back to California. Mr.. Ed
johnson is now in Concord and will
return as soon as he straightens up
his affairs. Such letters as appeared in
the Chronicle last Saturday from Los
Angeles only tends to weaken the in
tiuence of that paper. H. H. Martin,
one of best known men of this county
is in Los Angeles and we take his
word and advice.
Thousands of our people had made
up their minds to go west. but the
result of the election has revived hope
in them and the emigration business
will be considerably checked for the
present as our people are willing to
take chances in the South under
republican administration.

What They win Get.

The Weaern appeal Washington
correspondence claims to be we'll
posted and says the incoming admin
istration will take care of leading
colored men. He says Hon. Fred
Douglass will likely be minister to
some foreign country Of respectable
proportions. That Senator Bruce will
be resppointed Register Of the
Treasury. That Gov. Pinchback will
be Naval officer at New Orleans.
That Hon. JnO. R. Lynch will
be Minister to Hayti. That Col.
Bob Harlan will be again made a
special agent for the POstoaice Depart
ment. That Hon. ]. H. smythe or
J. W. Cromwell will 60 to Liberia.
In addition to these he mentions
Charlotte messenger. [volume] (Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., N.C.) 1882-18??, 1888-12-08
J. W. Gordon and our POstOilce.

Our State press has had much to
say about Mr.. j. w. Gordon and our
postofice here under the next admin
istration. We have paid but little
attention to the matter or to Mr.. Cor
don's candidacy, as we thought ii
simply joke. We are now told by
friends that he is really in earnest
and intends to make a fight for the
Office. We have no words for this
case just now, but we are always the
colored mans friend and advocate.
They have the work to do in all cam
paigns and gets but little of the hOnOrs
or emoluments. We want to see col
Ored men appointed to Office, but in
every case we want to see such men
put forward as will do credit to the
Office, themselves and the race. Fit
ness is the test for place and when a
colored man has that, color should be
no bar but if he has not the qualifica-
tions. we cannot endorse him for a
place.

Does Merit Win.

Our readers will indulge reference
to the Conference at Fayetteville.
This body did some things for which
it will be commended and others for
which the wisdom of its actions will
be questioned. If there is one place
higher and more honorable than
another that place should be filed by
the man who deserves it by his fitness
in morals, strict performance of
duties as well as other qualifications.
Merit should win and when it fails to
win, or when favorites are placed
ahead of those more deserving, the
work is retarded and good men dis
couraged.
If it is right to expel or suspend
one minister for failing to bring up
certain general funds of the church
it is not RICH. to promote another
minister to Presiding Eldership who
is guilty of the same thing and is
held up to ridicule before his Con-
ference for two or three days. The
Conference may not be guilty of such
a thing, but somebody is. Promo
ton should be awarded merit. Min
listers should be promoted who have
done well with the work in hand, but
men whose work has continued to 60
back the last FIVE or six years don't
seem just the ones to go up; if SO,
when one wants promotion they had
as well do what they can to tear down
the church.

for the occasion. We look upon this
as an indication that our next celebra-
tiOn will even surpass the last. Capt.
Taylor is a good director of anything.
and so far as the arrangements is con-
cerned we have nothing to fear; yet
all good citizens should lend Capt.
Taylor their aid. We should assist
HIM in all that he asks. The selection
of Mr.. King for orator is a happy one.
Because first: it is to him we owe
these celebrations here in Charlotte.
A few years ago when our people here
paid no attention to celebrating the
day, he suggested and put in motion
the efforts that now give us annual
celebrations here as in other places.
To him is due that credit and honor.
Then this selection is outside of the
pulpit and shows that we think we
have talent in class of men not here
tofore recognized. 1t is recognition
of the working men. We bespeak for
Mr.. King acres of people, believing
he will do credit to the occasion.
A place and programme have not
been settled upon but will be soon
and all the freedmen in the county are
invited. urged and expected to take
part in the celebration on the first of
January next. The military, firemen,
schools and societies are all expected
to turn out in full and give the grand
est celebration ever seen in this city.
Let everybody get ready.

The Charlotte Post Office.

The biggest and bOst leaf to be
given out by President Harrison to
Charlotte will possibly be the post
master. The place now pays about
SO, 900 besides patronage of several
appointments; viz deputy postmaster
or register clerk, money order clerk,
mailing clerk, delivery clerk, four
letter carriers and a janitOr. We
understand this place will not go
begging for applicants. If Negro
is not to have the first place why
can he not have the second place and
why not have colored letter carriers.
The most of our southern cities had
all colored carriers under former re-
publican administrations.
We are not advocating nor opposing
any one for the place, but simply say
anyone who is not in favor of doing
the square thing by the Negro shall
not have a good word from us and
we would advise all colored men and
friends to understand the position Of
all applicants before they are endorsed
for the place.
If republicans are to draw the color
line what better are they than demo-
Gratis? For our postmaster give US
the Negroes friend.

Fifteen Years in Hell.

We have seen book with the
above title, written by one Mr..
Benton. We never read the book,
but suppose Brother J. G. Dancy has
and that paragraphs from its burning
pages must have been in his mind
when he made the suggestion
during the discussion of the committees
report on education in the Conference,
to have the matter lay on the table
fifteen years. Brother Dancy thinks
fifteen years from now will be time
enough to make special provisions for
our girls. Somebody seconded the
suggestion ofcOurse. There is always
some coarse fellow who never wants
to see ladies educated and refined.
This cannot be said of Mr.. Dancy or
the gentlemen named elsewhere in
this paper. Yet it is true that some
who have no care for the morals and
intellect of the race sometimes get in
the councils of the church which gives
them advantage of doing great hurt
to any good cause.
Fifteen years in hell'' would be
light punishment to some persons in
proportion to what they will get
on account of the i'll use they make
of their opportunities. We have
nothing to say against the workings
of Livingstone college. 1t has a
great work to do, but it cannot dc
all the work of the church. There
are many reasons why our church
should have female seminary and
before next November all the good
ministers of this Conference will
agree with us if they don't vote for it
1t must not lay on the table fifteer
months.

There will be many other worthy
younger cOlOred men who have done
good service for the party and never

and justly deserve consideration. All
old ex-ofice holders should not ex-
pect to get back, for the young men
must not be neglected. Young men.

North Carolina and the country at

one Of the ablest sons of NorthC Carolina.
He was SIS years old.

Suspended.

We regret to see in the last issue
OF the Carthage Protectionia that the
paper will be suspended. We differed
with the Protectionist on one occasion
but found it to be staunch and
valuable republican paper. 1t did
great good in the last campaign as is
evidenced ia the gains of the party
in Moore and adjoining counties. 1t
is shame that republicans will not
give better support to our party
organs. The party sustains very
heavy loss in Mr.. A. V. Dockery.
He is an able, fearless writer. The
democrats owe their success in the
late fight entirely to their press, and
we must sustain our papers better.
