Since the organization of the
District Militia there has been
an attempt OH the part of the
superior officers to ignore the
colored soldiers 1t has now come
to light that every common second
class new white organization that
comes up is put ahead Of the well
equipped coIored militia. There
has been a vacancy in the Nation
al Guards for some time, but
General Orway has not seen fit to
promote either the CADETS or the
Capital City Guards Some of
the men of the Capital City
Guards claim that Col. RevelIs is
afraid of General O,dway and in
sist on the men to wait until the
time comes. The men also claim
that Col. Revells comes to the
meeting of the Guards with well
worded phrases and humlliating
talk. There is some discrimina-
ton, says tine men, in the distri-
button of overcoa's. The coloced
soldiers are without them, while
! it is claimed that several, If not
all The white organic tions, have
been given their ovcrcOats.
The colored soldiers are tired
of this kind of treatment and any
moment withdrawal of the col
ored soldiers is looked for. Maj.
Fleetwood Was met by a BEE
scribe few days ago and asked
about this matter, out the Major
declined to talk. His men, how
ever, are dissatisfied and don't
propose to be frozen to death for
Ordway and his District National
Guards. General o dway Is not
giving satinfaction by any means,
and before long it is surmised that
Capt. T. S. Kelly will have at
Least two-thirds OF the colored SOL
diers enrolled in his new infantry
company which is lndependant
The Infantry is r. r.ceiving recruits
from both Of the coloTed military
companies very fast and, unless
they withdraw soon, neither the
Cadets or the Capital City Guards

DOUGLASS RETREATS.

Why Mr.. Douglass should ever
have opposed the nomination and
election of any coIored man Of the
4th district of Virginia is public
mystery.
Why be should have opposed
John Mercer Langston in such
regard is not only a public mys-
terry, but mystery from whose
consequences he never can re-
lieve himself by claiming that he
10 without interest pro or con as
to Langston's seat in Congress
and. therefore, be takes neutral
grounds with respect thereto.
The colored American and his
white friend want to know why
Mr.. Douglass is not now certainly
an active supporter of LanSston
in his demand for a place in Con-
gress, against a democrat like
Venerable and a pretentious re-
publican void of sincerity, like
Malone.
Would it not be wise for Mr..
Douglass to make some sort of
explanation now, satisfactory to
his own conscience, his own
judgement, and popular demand?
Instead of declaring his neutrality
in this matter, why does he not
proclaim his purpose of active
endeavors in behalf of the negro
and his demand for social, politi-
cal, and official recognition, in
such emancipation as the present
conditions of negro status In this
country suggests, and make prop,
er in his behalf?
1t is In order for Mr.. Doug glass,
who has done such damage to the
negro race in opposing Langston
so far, to rise, explain and justify,
if possible, his course. Ard be-
sides his attitude must not be
that of neutrality now. Hc can
only attone for bis past conduct
by earnest, sincere, truthful, and
manly activity. We would like
to know who fawned on Mr.
Cleveland to be retained Reco der
of Deeds? Who damned Cleve-
land more when Matthews was
appointed to succeed him? Who
urged the negroes at the Louis
vile convention to divide? Has
Langston ever been guilty of any
such actions? Did not Langston
resign the Haytian mission and
inform Mr. Cleveland that be
could not serve under his admin
istration? These are things that
the American people should care
fully consider. No man is truer
to bis people than John Mercer
Langston, and we hope when the
American people give verdlc'
they will consider wisely what
the political attitude OF both o.
these men has been.
The Washington bee., 1889-01-12

If Mr.. Douglass is in favor Of
the negro as he prohesses to be,
why did he join in to defeat the
nomination and election of Prof.
Langston? Mr.. Douglass days of
usefulness have gone. There was
a time when he could have retir-
ed in honor. That day has pass

The Old school Building ON the Hill

iected into its decrePIt frame-Ahe
Seminary West Of the Suwannee TO
Blossom into New Life.
The fifteen thousand dollar appropriation made
for the Seminary West OF the Suwannee by Inc
recent session of the Legislature was not sum
cient to carry out the plans of the Board OF Ed
ucation, but it will enable them to greatly I'M
prove the College property, and with the ala OF
the WestcOtt bequest. very materially add 10 the
efficiency of instruction in each department.
The old college building on the hill, one OF
the most picturesque and pleasant locations IN
the State, is to be improved, added to and con-
verted into one of the most convenient ana COM
Portable colleges in the South.
We learn that it is the intention OF the board
to build a handsome twO.story front and wings
to the old building, the lower story OF which is
to be divided into well-ventllated study halls Tor
both sexes, class rooms and library and read
ing room In the upper story will be the labora'
tories for scientific experiments and sleeping
apartments for male students. In the rear OF
the main building large and roomy dining hall,
pantry and kitchen will be erected, and the
grounds will be enclosed and beautifully laid off
in promenades and lawns. The buildings will
be comfortably heated by either steam or hot
air, lighted by gas and supplied with an abund.
ance of good and pure water.
1t is thought that the new buildings will be
complete and ready for occupancy by February
1st In the meantime school will be continued
in the frame building on Bronough street.
We hope soon to be able to give our readers
the plans of building in detail and an illustration
showing how it will look when completed.

There was quite gathering of Augusta, Tai

A FLoRIDIAN reporter cOrnered Chief Eng-
neer John NJ Cook and learned from him that
work was going steadily forward on the bridge
across the Ocklockonee river pling already
having been driven down for about half the
distance across. They are driving through
white clay, and get solid lime rock foundation

Chief Engineer Cook also informed the re-
porter that the contractors would be here about
the first OF September nd that then the work
of obstruction would begin this side of the
river in earnest, and that there would be no let
up until the road was completed.
The FLoRIDIAN's special reporter at the river
sends IN about the same information. He says ::
cts railroad now in good earnest-about
