The Hon. VIM. +. Chandler
will be returned to the Senate is
now fore-gone conclusion. New
Hampshire honors itself and it's
brilliant son by sending him to
Washington to represent the gran
ite state in the senate of the Unit
ed States. The Negroes of the
entire country will hail with
Joy the announcement of his tri-
umphant reelection on the 10Th of
June next. He has been and Is
still our unc mpromising friend.
He is an honest and straight for
ward republican who believes
that the Negro is entitled to all
his rights under the constitution,
who believe, that it the Negro is
good enough to vote to put white
men in office, he is good enough
to hold office when he is compe-
tent to fill it. There is no hypoc-
raey about VIM. +. Chandler; he
is not addicted to the habit of for
getting his friends and rewarding
his enemies. He believes in stand
ing by those who stand by him.
This is the essence of practical
politics and the man who conforms
to :his rule of practice is bound to
win wheeler be be President of
the United States or the humblest
public officer in the land.
There Can be no M ddle ground
in politics, a man is either Tor you
or against you. He is either a
democrat or a republican, if he is
neither he is a political speculator
aud mercanary to reward men of
this stamp to exclusion of those
who bravely fought the battle of
their country and the republican
party, is not good politics. Mr..
Hayes learned his lesson too late.
History may repeat itself; mean
while we hope for the best and
renew our expressions Of faith in
the integrity and honor of this
administration. 1t our judgement
should be at fault, there will be a

THE RECORDERSHIP.

1t is understood, and on good
authority, that the office of Re-
corder OF Deeds will be given to
the Washington Corr espondent of
the Indianapolis Journal. The
numerous applicants among the
colored politicians for that partic-
ular position has no doubt caused
the President to give it to an out
side man. There are equally as
many candidates among the
white politicians and they are op-
posing the Negro as bitterly as the
democrats. 1t seems that certain
republicans are as much opposed
to any colored man holding an Of
flee as any southern democrat.
Still we believe that the President
will not ignore the Neg1e, but
give him such recognition as IN his
judgement, he deserves.

1T WILL NOT WORK.

1t is the desire of almost every
white republican in the South to
monopolize all the offices and bar
the negro out if possible. These
white republicans hav'nt any re-
gard for members of Congress.
1t is rumored that one A. w
Chfaer, a carpet lugger from
the North was an applicant for
Collector of Internal Revenue for
the 4th District of N. G. and has
withdrawn in favor of E. A
White, having understood between
them, CHATTER is to go on Whites
bond and thus control the patron
age of the office and White is to
use what influence he has, if anv,
to secure the Post office at Raleigh.
n. G. for CHATTER. We have been
informed by prominent republi'
cans of the State that Chatter in
bis letter of withdrawal to the
President said that the appoint
ment of Major r. E. Young better
known as''Q" Young a prominent
republican, means negro domina-
ton of the colored element.
Who ever heard of such a thing
as negro "domination," by the ap-
pointment of white man who is
friendly to the colored people?
The President should give this
milk and water republican who
is opposed to the negro a back
seat. The appointment of either
CHATTER or White will be an insult
to the coIored voters of the 4th
District of North Carolina. We
understand that Congressman
Cheatham is very much interested
in the appointment of Mr.. Young
and he should be, as he has two
thirds of the Internal Revenue
district, and so are the people
throughout the District.
1t is the duty of Mr.. Cheatham
to see that Mr.. Young secures the
appointment. We have the most
abiding faith in Congressman
Cheatham and know the people
of bis State will ever honor him
for the interest that he is taking
in the voters of his State.

THE COLORED TROOPS AT
PETERSBURG.
Century Magazine.

East of Petersburg, on high
ground, protruding like the ugly
horn of a rhinoceros, stood the
Confederate earthwork fortified as
a battery, which we undermined
and exploded July 3Oth, 1864 1t
did a good deal of goring before we
destroyed it. Its position enabled
the garrison to throw a somewhat
en6ldading fire into our lines, un-
der which many fell, a few at a
time.
For some time previous to the ex
plosion of the mine it was determ-
ined by General Burnside that the
colored divisions should lead the
assault. The general tactical plan
had been given to the brigade COM
manders Colonel Sigfried and my
self, with a rough out line map of
the ground, and directions to study
the front for ourselves. But this
latter was impracticable except in
momentary glimpses. The enemy
made a target of every head that
appeared above the work, and their
craftsmanship was good. The man
ner of studying the ground was
this: Putting my battered old hat on
ramrod and lifting it above the
rampant just enough for them not
to discover that no man was under
it, l drew their fire; then stepping
quickly a few PAGES one side, |
took a hasty observation.
We were all pleased with the
compliment of being chosen to lead
In the assault. Both officers and
men were eager to show the white
troops what the colored division
could do. We had acquired conf
dence in our men. They believed
US lnfallible. We had drilled certain
movements, to be executed in gain
ing and occupying the crest. It is
an axiom in military art, that there
are times when the ardor, hopeful
ness, and enthusiasm of new troops

WHAT WE MAY EXSPECT.

There are before the President
the applications of several promi>
nent colored republican politicians
for appointments. In almost ev-
cry case these colored applicants
are asking for the same office.
These same applicants to a great
extent have filed charges against
each other expressing them.
selves that such and such an appli-
can't is incompetent or that his ap-
pointment will not meet the ap-
proval of the people of his respec-
tive state. What is the President
to do in such cases? Colored men
are cutting each others and pro-
testing against each other ap-
pointment, which gives the Pres,
ident an opportunity to appoint
some white republican. We don't
say that the President will ap-
point white republicans in such a
case, but We do say that the Pres
ident would be justifable if he
did appoint them since coIored
men cannot agree among them
selves.

training and experience. General
Burnside, for this and other rea-
sons, most strenuously urged his
black division Tor the advance.
Against his most urgent remon-
STRANGE he was Overruled. About
IL p. M, July 29th, a few hours
before the action, L was officially
Informed that the whole plan had
been changed, and our division
would not lead.
We were then bivouacking on our
arms in rear of our line, just be.
hind the covered way leading to
the mine. [ returned to that biv
ouac DETECTED and with an instinct
OF disaster for tomorrow. AS l sum
moned and told my regimental
commanders, their faces expressed
the same feeling. l considered it
unnecessary to inform the captains
that night, and they were allowed
to sleep on.
Any striking event or piece of
news was usually eagerly discussed
by the white troops, and in the
ranks military critics were as plen-
ty and perhaps more voluble than
among the officers. Not so with the
blacks important news such as
that before us, after the bare an
nouncement, was usually followed
by long silence. They sat about in
groups, "studying," as they called
it. They waited, like the Quakers,
for the spirit to move; when the
spirit moved, one of their singers
would uplift a mighty voice, like a
bard of old, in a wild sort of chant.
Ii he did not strike a sympathetic
chord in his hearers, if they did
not find in his utterauce the ex-
ponent of their idea, he would sing
it again and again, altering seme-
times the words, or more often the
music. If his changes met general
acceptance, one voice after another
would chime in; ? rough harmony
of three parts would add itself
other groups would join his, and
the song became the song of the
command.

THE PRESIDENT.

We cannot as yet be convinced
that the President will ignore the
negroes of this country in the dis
tributlon of patronage.
We still have faith in his ut
terances on the fourth of March
when be was inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t must
also be remembered that President
Harrison was elected partly by
the loyal black republicans of this
country and it is impossible for
any one to presume that he in
tends to ignore them. 1t is true
that no appointments of colored
men have been made as yet, but
we are confident that the admin
istrstion is kindly disposed to
ward them and will no doubt see
that they are Justly cared for.
While we regret the adjourn
ment Of the Senate before any col.
ored man was nominated we are
of the opinion that matters will
ultimately end beneficial to the
negro.

DOUGLASS PERSONAL OR
GAN.

Young Frederick Douglass in the
National Leader, howls rather
loudly because some newspaper OBJ.
ject to the old gentlemans great ef-
fort last April and undertakes to
lecture the Press and those who
write for it as to how they should
discuss that remarkable Douglass
onion dash for the Recordership or
some of the fat places. To assume
that all men are fools, dull of com.
prehension incapable of seeing
through an auger hole is young
Frederick Douglass right, But he
will find himself off if he imagines
that he can succeed in introducing
the Russian method of running news
papers or in stifling the voice of
men who have the nerve to attack
the old man eloquent in their own
way. Let Mr.. Douglass use his sub
sidized organ in defending his dad.
He needs all the aid he can get. His
popularity with the masses is wan
ing. He was, but he is not of Us. No
amount of argument in defense of
that speech will convince the great
mass of our people that it was not
intended as direct insult to them.
We are not sentimental enough to
fall into the pernicious habit of
worshipping either white men OF
negroes who think they can say
what they please without being
called to account for it. We shall
pursue our own methods in thi 8 re.
gard and neither age, color or po-
sition will deter us from exposing
the rank hypocrisy of such men, or
in defending the race from the foul
an unwarranted aspersions of It's
enemies within and without.
