GRAND PAGEANT.-The spectacle pre-
sented yesterday in New York city, in cele-
bration of the centennial of the inaugura-
tion of Washington as first President of tins
United States, was doubtless one Of the
grandest of this or any age. There were
probably so, 900 men in line, with 10000
horses, with flags, emblems, &c., adding to
the beauty of the display. 1t will mark an
epoch in the lives of those who Witnessed
it. As we are rather ambitious and desire
to witness yet more impressive and im-
posing spectacle, We concluded not to at
tend on this occasion, but to postpone our
visit to the second centennial celebration
which we expect to surpass this la the pro
portion that our population will be greater
then than now. By that time the citizens
Of the suburbs of Staunton and Buena
Vista will be near neighbors, and New
York city will be larger than London, and
the number in line of March at the god
Centennial celebration of the Inauguration
of the "Father of his Country" vii! run
up to hundreds of thousands That will be-
q spectacle worth waiting to see, so We have
concluded to do 1t.

The Atlanta Constitution saws:

''The negro is not appreciated outside OF
the South, and he can only be appreciated
by the southern people. Right here is the
problem that the newspapers are dealing
with. Shall the negro be left to be dealt
with by the symp athletic South or shall the
unsy pathetic North c)me in and drive
these two to eu,nityF"
"Appreciated' is the right word, and
just here we would say to the alleged
northern friends of the negro that the soon
er they decide to leave the solution of the
negro question to the sympathetic South
the better it will be for the negro. The
time will never come when the southern
man will not have more sympathy than the
northern mau for the negro. The time will
never come when the southern man will
not SHOW more consideration than the
northern man for the negro. Nevertheless,
the fact remains that esch succeeding gen.
Grafton of southern whites will have loss
sym pathy for the negro than the generation
that preceded it. The young man Of TWEEN.

Col. Dudley denies that he said the
President is ''too cowardly to be seen talk
ing with him because some Indiana copper.
heads and rebels have trumped up charges
against him." but acknowledges that he
did say: "Perhaps there is no oVe in the
country who has done as much for General
Harrison during the last twenty years as l
have, but because our democratic friends
down in Indianapolis have started the hue
and cry on me. brother Ben does not seem
to feel that he can afford to recognize me
as an acquaintance, aud consequently /
don't take dinner at the White House, as
might be- expected" The Colonel makes
a distinction without difference, and il
will be SO considered bv Mr. Harrison and
by every other reasonable man. That the
Colonel did do much for Mr.. Harrison, in
the last Presidential campaign, is proved
by the part he took in the steal of the sub
scription list of the Vsice and BY his
"blocks Of five" letter, for writing which
the Law officers of Indiana are now waiting
for him to come within their jurisdiction
But the Colonel is old enough to know that

MARRIAGE OF HON. G. 81 GIBsoN.-The
marriage of Hon. Charles a. Gibson. Con-
gresham from the first Maryland district,
to Mrs. Marietta Powell Hollyday, of Eas-
ton, Nd, took place at Louisville, KY,
Tuesday of last week. The ceremony was
performed at Christ Church, the largest
Episcopal church in that city, the Right
Rev. Thomas Dudley, Bishop OF Kentucky
officiating. Only few friends had been
invited to the ceremony.
The object of having the marriage at
Louisville was because that is the residence
of Mrs. Gibson's son and daughter and be-
cause the bride was especially anxious to
have her kinsman, Bishop Dudley, perform
the ceremony.
Mrs. Marietta Powell Hollyday now Mrs.
Gibson, is the widow of the late Colonel
Richard Carmichael Hollyday, of Ratclife
Manor, for many years secretary OF state
of Maryland. Mrs. Hollyday comes OF good
Loudoun county (Virginia) stock, and is
connected with many of the old Virginia
fam lilies. Her father was the late Colonel
Humphrey Brooke Powell, man OF dis.
tinction in his day. He left large family
of children. Hon. John Randolph Tucker
married one of the daughters. The moth
er, the widow of Col. Powell, still lives at
a ripe old age. She is hale and bright, and
is lovely old lady, taking youthful in'
terest in affairs and in all that appertains to
her numerous grand children and othel
kinspeople.

So far az the president has given any at
tention to the southern states he has GER
tainly recognised the white race as COM
pletely as the most exaoting person could
desire. 50 he has done in the north. The
negro has thus far no recognition in oHAces
Of consequence. President Cleveland,
though at this date far behind President
Harrison in the number Of appointments,
had given greater attention to the negro.
We are not finding fault with either OF
them. Offices should 60 to those best
qualified. But the fact cited, aud the orig
nation Of white republican party In
several of the southern states, and the not
unreasonable inference that the president's

GUTHRIE OKLAHOMA. We doubt if such
an incident has its mate in the history of
the world. 1t fairly takes your breath
away to thiuk of it.
We refer to the settler ent of Guthrie,

stores, dry goods establishments, q bank
with capital of fifty thousand dollars and
daily newspaper. Judge Guthrie has no
house to live in, and so uses a box car
standing on the track for domicile.
Lots twenty five by hundred sold for
five dollars, and in less than ten minutes
the price rose to fifty.

the mysterious three balls which are never

ment that his Richmond speech was not

to General Malone. Both Mr.. Wise and
himself, he says, insisted that while com.
promise was always in order, no surrender

Coal IN ALARAMA.-Just now there is a
decided boom in coal mining in Alabamxn
and during the next six months enough
new mines will be opened to increase the
output at least 20 per cent. In addition to
the new mines, the capacity of the Pratt
mines, owned by the Tennessee Iron and
Railroad Company, now 4 900 tons per day.
will be largely increased, and possibly
doubled in the near future. The increased
output of coal is necessitated by the large
number of blast furnaces going into opera
ton.

President Harrison and the Nerross.

There Is disposition to attack the ad-
ministration of President Harrison because
he prefers not to treat the Negro a. bav.
ing lien on the government for certain
special consideration and recognition. We
are not of those who criticise the Presi.
dent for this; on the contrary, we frankly
commend the course he is alleged to hold al
sensible, manly and patriotic.
If there was ever anything more absurd,
or effrontery more bold. than the assump
tion that the colored race has a right to
claim any peculiar favor from, or to hold
any extraordinary relation to or claim upon
the Government of the United States, we
have no knowledge Of it.
General Harrison takes, we presume, the
view that if any race Of people on the earth
has ever had reason to be thankful for the
confermeat of freedom upon them and re.
lease from condition of slavery, the black
race in AMERICA has. They have been giver
equal privileges under laws which the
white race made for itself, and under which
it has lived for hundred years, 80 that II
there are any latent qualities Of ability ant
character tn the black man they may be
developed. Not only this, but the purse o.
the white man has been opened through the
public treasury and through private munif.
icence in order to give to the Negro the
privilege Of education. ALI these things
have been conferred through a senti
ment which was no moro akin to
craftsmanship than fanaticism is to the
highest philosophy. There Is nothing like
this action of the American people in the
history of the whole world. They have
scratched each others eyes and torn each
others hair. They have indeed she'd each
others blood in conflict over the issues which
have sprung from this long discussion, and
have nally OVERSIGHT the mark and made
an Impression on the Negro that the orig
inal design of the Creator was for him to
have as much or more to do with the CON
troll Of public affairs and the Government Of
the country than his white neighbor, for
mer master, and always benefactor.
President Harrison, we say, probably
takes the rational view that the colored
man is enjoying about as much of the bene
fits of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness under the present condition OF thing
as he is fJted for, or can reasonably hop'
for. aud that to appoint him to public ofact
and listsn to his remarks about what should
and should not be done in the canducs o
public affairs is not in harmony with thu
eternal fitness of things.
In our Judgment, and we have often Ok
pressed it in these columns, the best thing
for the Negro is to have nothing to do will
politics, and if he cannot see for himsel
that this is the part of wisdom, then tn
next best thing ia for politics to have no
thing to do with him, and this can be &C
complished 10 no better way than thai
adopted by President Harrison, to let him
alone and leave him to his work, and tn
cultivation of his character for industry ant
integrity, Norfolk LandrnQrE,
