FROM BOSTON.
Politics and ReIig on in the Ilub.

Mr.. Editor;
Good old Virginia blood flows
through the veins of many hur
| dred Afro Americans in MassachU
settS, and it seems to be desirable
that communication between rela
tives residing in one or the other ol
these commonwealth should be es
tablished through the Planet.
Hardly anything could tend I'd
promote the interests of the race
more than the requirement and dis
seminatiOn of that knowles re whioe
our race journals contains, and it is
to be hoped that the establishment
of an agency in Boston for the
Richmond PLANET, will turnish-s
means of information to Virginians
here and BOstonianS there, and
give to the PLANET that increased
patronage which it richly deserves
Politicians keep pace with @the
weather here, and both are very
hot just now. The democracy OF
Boston fairly bubbled over in the
MeiOnaOn last night July 22nd and
Out.did all former records for clam
or and .ribaIdry. Noise and con
fusion were the order of the even
ing until the disgrace became so in
tOlerable that the Janitor of the
building had to put out the lights
Even this did not quell the disturb
ance; but transferred the scene OfI
disorder and tumult to such fash
lOnable resorts as the fremont
House and ParkerS. Cunnitf and
Mcclure, the democratic bosses
who formerly went hand in haRc
and controlled the political fortunes
of this time-honOred municipality |
leach with his particular gang OF
political heelerS and ward caucus
at his back engaged !
in a bitter personal wrangle which !
would do honor to a meeting off
Jesse James gang in the distribu
tiOn of big Doodle scoop. And |
yet this same democratic party
whose representatives met and
on the occasion referred I
to is the every party with which
some of our esteemed cOntnmpOra
ry journals urge black men to coop
crate, in the very face of such an
exhlbftlon as the above and past
democratic record which must ap
pal every honest minded man who
is familiar with its details. The color
ed people of Massachusetts, are not
ready to condone democratic offan
SeS by voting tor the mon who /
stand as representatives of those
others who perpetrate out ages up
ON us.
Our churches still maintain their
existence and influence
as visit to any of our SIX willi
show. Rev. |. HoratiO Carter of
the Ebenezer Baptist springfield
street) whose recent purchase is an
additional evidence Of the veal III of
and resource which belong
to the EbenezeritieS,-ls pushing
vigorously to raise the remaining
Indebtedness on the church build
ing. Mayor t. n. Hart is one who
has lent his names influence to
Rev. Carter's effort. Charles St.,
Church, of which Rev. Theodore
Gould is pastor, mourns the death
Of Mrs. Sarah Francis Elliott, one
of it's Oldest members and earn
est workers. She was the wife
Of Mr.. Solomon Elliott, of the r. G.
Shaw Veteran Asso. She was a
resident OF Portsmouth, Va, until
1864 when she came to Boston, u
and was forty four years and some
months old. She was treasurer, for
IL years, of the 'Love and Charity
Lodge of Good Samaritans," and a
faithful worker in Gods Church
she merited the tributes of respects
paid to her at the funeral and leaves
an example worthy to be followed
by those who survive her.
SQUABBLED.
