ents show up most brightly. His paper
for a while was nominallY independent.
His dodge was to wait until both conven-
tons had made nominations before he in
anywise committed himself. Then his
support from top to bottom was peddled
out to the highest bidder. The men with
the longest pole invariably knocked the
persimmons which consisted in the dubi-
Gus honor of receiving the Tribune's sup
port. These negotiations were conducted
with the most barefaced effrontery. No
effort was made to conceal them from the
public and not only the simple negotia-
tons but the exact amount of cash in
volved in each transaction wal known to
every citizen of the town who had ears to
hear or eyes to see.
Beside peddling out his columns to the
highest bidder he has even resorted to
blackmail. A case of this kind which
came to light not long ago was notorious
town talk for weeks, the person involved
being a gentleman who had never enjoyed
Mr.. Shingles personal acquaintance and
might therefore be excused for having
given up to Establishments which were
forcible enough to be threatening.
The paper itself since its inception has
formed a public sewer into which has
been diverted everything of scandal, inde-
cency, libel and salaciousness that the
community afforded. 1t steals its tele-
graphic new and its %pretentions TO being
a newspaper is a never ending fraud on
the community.
A man moving along the streets is
sometimes pestered by a little cur %yelping
at his heels. For a time be moves along
contemptuously until the persistency of
the cur annoys him when he whirls about
and kicks the yelping little brute into the
gutter.
For months the little evening p has
continued its growl against THE LEADER.
Nothing about this institution has exactly
suited it. 1t has villifed and slandered
everyone connected with it. Emboldened
by the contemptuous silence maintained
by this paper there was finally no length
to which the Bladder itself and those
connected with it would not go to do
whatever Of illegitimate injury they were
capable of Going. In and out of the
paper the Bladder and its ~henchmen
persistently kept up their work. Now
that more important public affairs are out
of tho way WI have few moments to de-
vote to them and if we haven't anything
good enough for them in the shop we'll
send u and buy it.

A HARD WORKED MAN.

Hon. II. P. Cheatham arrived
in tue city Monday and was be-
seighed by hundred or more of
his constituents. He is the hardest
worked man from the South.
Every man from the South,
whether he halls from Mr.. Cheat

looks to him for aid and comfort.
He is certainly the best represen-
tative North Carolina has ever
sent to Congress white or black.

worthy southern republican and
what be says can be relied on.
He is on the 60 from the very

one of the most diabolical acts ev>
er was known to be charged
against an injured and wronged
race of people, We admit that
we have some bad men among
US, but there are exceptions and
many of them, at that. Coroner
Patterson, who ordered an au-
topsy to be performed is entitled
to our everlasting gratitude.
The cowardly attempt also to
throw the responsibility of that
officers death, not long since, on
Mr.. Robert Brown, a respectable
colored citizen, shows plainly
what these officers would do if
they were given an opportunity.
The friends ofthe deceased police~
man Crippen, would have had Mr.
Brown to rush up stairs after the
murderer and have him killed
and the officer saved, whose duty
1t was to arrest the murderer. The
officer would not have been killed
had he taken the advice Of those
who were present at the time he
rushed up stairs. All that the
citizens ask is fair treatment and
Justice.

SOUTH WASHINGTON
NE VS..

For several weeks, the ministers
conference has been discussing
the regular order of church 7dfscip,
lime; the method of admission to
memberships and the relation to
pastor and deacons of the church.
They admitted the practicibility
of deaconesseS and other officers
as the necessity of the churches re~
quired, and decided that the lack
Of scriptual qualifications in many
of our churches is the main causes
of repeated disorders. During
these discussions of methods and
conclusions, many principles Of
great questions were settled.
Among the ministers of emil
nence who took part in these dis
cussions were, Revs. G. G. Stun,
ID. d., of Philadelphia; VIM.
Gray, d. ID, of st Paul, Mimi;
g. A, Coils, Va; VIM. Troy, of
Va; NJ. Land, of Va; Wm. A.
Birch, of CHM, J. F. Robinson,
Mass.
The many ministers to the
nstional capital in the interest of
the race have all returned to
their several charges.
Mrs. Ii. G. Robinson is quite
i'll at her residence.
The controversy between the
Virginia Avenue Baptist church
and the Oh ST. Bapt church of
this city over the exclusion and
reception of certain members
from the Virginia Avenue, whom
the Sixth ST., afterward received
without any authority of ecclesias-
tic meth IDS or usages, tor whose
return The Va. Ave. made for
NAL demand. They were refused
by evasion on the part of the 9th
street, as all proofs showed, for
which the church called a council
of IS churches which convened on
Thursday the 18th in the lecture
room of the Va. Ave. church.
The three points submitted by
that church to the council. were
decidedly adopted in justifca ion
her claims:
1st. That the recognition
council at the Robinson Hall, Feb,
18th 1876, was valid and lis proc.
lamatiOn final.
2nd. That one sister church
cannot receive an excluded mem
Der from another church, without
some established method of eccIe-
siastic usages.
3rd. That the Virginia Aven-
ue church being al orderly. and
regularly established sister church
1t was wrong and impracticable
for the Sixth street church to re-
ceive the members.

DRIVERS IN THE DEPART

A great deal was said last week
by one of our local contemporay's
on coiored men in the departments
used by the officials to drive their
carriages. We desire to say that

to drive carriages they accept
them with the full understanding
that they are to drive the car
riagss, afa to GtIf pes''sS know kG1w
ledge, our esteemed Chief Clerk
of the Treasury department is one
of the officials who never fails to
compensate bis driver when he
does extra work MIR. G. Morgan,
who drives the Chief Clerk of the
Treasury department stated to a
BEE representative few days ago
that there is not an evening thai
he dos'ent make from one to three
dollars extra. A similar state
ment was made to US by other
men in the departments and from
what we have heard it seems that
they are perfectly satisfied s. far
as the work is concerned, but like
any body else promotion would
be acceptable If they could obtain
it.

One of the most instructive,
able and exhaustive discussions OF
political race organizations that
has appeared in a long while is to
found in the letter of Ex-senator
Bruce to the Washington Post of
Sunday last. Mr.. Bruce has the
happy faculty of saying the right
thing in the right way and at the
right time, aud for this reason bis
pubic utterances never fail to at
tract attention aud to properly
direct the trend ofpublc thought.
There was a growing fear aud sus-
picion on the part of many as to
the purpose of the colored people
in the organization Of leagues tor
the protection of their rights; and
the enemies of the race were
quick to charge that the purpose
was political; that, abandoning all
political principles, the race
would hereafter be offered for
sale to the highest bidder.
Mr.. Bruce corrects this errone-
Gus impression and shows in the
most conclusive way that our peo-
pie through the contemplated Or
CARNATIONS propose to protect
their personal and civil rights and
do not intend to engage in politics
as q race but to act in these mat
tiers like other American citizens.
As he truly expresses ii; "they
propose to vindicate American
rights by American methods"
We say, let the organization of
the leagues 60 on but Gee to it
that demogogues are not permits
ed to divert it from its original
purpose or to use it for selfish
ends. We owe it to ourselves to
30 conduct this organization as TO
keep it out of the mire of parh-
zsn politicians and to so direct its
course as to commend it to good
meu everywhere. Should we com
NIT the objectionable blunder of
organizing on race lines for polit-
cal purposes we would not only
lose the friends we now have out
fai!! IS gain any from our enc
mics.
As be justly says under such
circumstances both the Repu5li-
can and Democratic parties, in a
short time, would combine to
crush US out We are Ameri-
cans and as such we demand the
same consideration at the hands |
of the public as is freely accorded
to other American citizens. We
do not ask more and AS men We |
will not accept less. We have |
met the just expectations of man-
kind since our enfranchisemeut. |
Starting out pennyless, homeless, |
and without educational facilities |
We have gone iuto all the multiple |
ed industries of the republic and |
have acquitted ourselves with
credit; we have under the great
est difficulties established homes |
for ourselves and families; we
have built school houses, accade'
mics and colleges and have sup !
ported them; in short, no race un-
der similar environments has
made SO rapid progress in so
limited a time as the American
Negro, and yet we labor under
disabilities that attach to no other |
class of Americans involving
the embarrassment Of the exer
cises of the most sacred right of
the citizen.
We must appeal to the enlight-
ened christian public sentiment
Of the land to remedy these grave
evils and our appeal will not be
made in vain.
