Young man ss been stationed at Dixon for q
humber of months, and has attended to his

our people respect him. He is the first col

this district and he he has been well received.
1t Gun be seen by the above re-
port from the evening telegraph,
ut Dixon III that DIR. j. w. Cur

TEEN of the white citizens OF Dix

his success and such good reports
about him.

the way to deny that he is any
thing, except for the money, not
even scientific and fair. COnglOm.
Grated eccentricity, the mental or
physical state found by him in long
trying to medal with other peoples
business is not very creditable to
his polital acumen nor his learning
as a high class private among ped
agogues.
1t usually happens thusly to
those who want the earth if they
can't get to the top OF some great
foreign mission, they will tumble,
is that the word ? to a little office
at home or into the schools, or
mouse around in the byways to say
anything or give hints instead OF
standing boldly up for truth and
the interests of the race, even
should it be conserved by counsel

JOHN r. LYNCH.
NEW MADE HONoRS-F0RGET MEN
NAME--THE CoLORED PRESS Con-
DENNIS THE WOULD BE LEADER.
rSavannab. Ga Tribuoe. I

1SavanDah, GA Tribune.
JOHN r. LYNCH the fourth audi
tor of the treasury has seen fit to
sneak in uncOmplimentary terms OF
the colored newspapers of the cOun.
trv. and that he has been assessed
heavily to support white Repu6~
lican organ in Mississippi. Fair
Play of Meridian in Mr.. Lynch's
State has this to say of its represen'
tative's remarks:
"The above are the words of the
Honorable John r. Lynch, the mau
whom the colored people of this
country lifted from the plOwshares
to Congress, and whom the colored
press materially aided in securing
the position of fourth auditor of the
treasury, from which be now seeks
to belittle the influence of that press
and the intelligence of the people
as we'll.
But Mr.. Lynch, it wont work ::
and when you are lead to the bar
of public opinion, a just people Will
think that while there is something
wanting in the make up OF cOlored
editors there is something left out
in the make up of man who has
rose to distinction exclusively by
the aid of the race, whose press he
now willingly and wiltully mlsrep-
TeSentS.
Mr.. Lynch would have one paper
only in this country to represent its
5000, 900 of colored citizen, and at
its head a 'man of character and
reputation presumably a white
man, that would receive the sup
port of all the people. While this
modern Caesar is feasting on meat
which has suddenly had the effect
of making him forget the ROCK from
whence he was hewn surrounded
by his newly found friends, he takes
occasion to say that the organ in
Mississippi is to be a white paper.
and he believes it will be success.
1t seems from this sentence that
Mr.. Lynch believes that the paper
will succeed wholely because the
man at it's head is white.
Somebody in Washington should
do him the favor of telling him that
there are thousands of "white pa
pers" all ready succeeding without
his aid, and were succeeding when
he was on the slaver's auction block.
This Judge of cOlOred editors can
rest assured that this cut at the
cOlored press will be returned in
the spirit it was received"

HIS NAME is DAVIS.

In reply to our esteemed contem-
porary the Cleveland Gazette as to
who DAVIS is, we beg leave to say
that he is a reliable and conpe
tent journalist. The attempt OF
4th Auditor John r. Lynch to re
feet upon the appearance OF Mr..
Davis because he asked him to do
a favor for him is a poor argu-
ment or defense tor MIR. Lynch to
make for his false and unwar-
rantable attack on the cOlored
press of this country. MIR. Davis
is fully competent to answer Mr..
Lynch and to prove his statement
as was published sin the BEE a few
weeks ago. Sofar as We are con-
cerned we have never asked these
quiSi leaders any favors nor are We
under any obligations to John K.
Lynch or any other Negro who
pose as leader of the Negro race.
As a politician Lynch is a sue
cessful failure, as a leader he has
never been. He is Q man ofdestinY
who has accumulated q little mOn-
ey and a government position on
the strength of being identified
with The Negro race. Like all
Negroes when their pockets are
filled be is seeking an Opportuni-
ty to look above bis people. His
letter to the Gazette Is not an an
swer to the chsrges of the BEE
and the attempt of editor Smith
TO excuse him only makes his
blunder worse,
So far as Mr.. J.,,E. Bruce is con-
cerned be has never had two
words to say to Mr.. Lynch since
he lynch has been in Washing
ton. In tact MIR. Bruce only
knows Mr.. Lynch by sight and
reputation aud we take this Op-
portunity of saying that he is not
one of the seedy kind to whom
Mr. Fortune referred. lie is q
good liver and one of the best
behaved and most enterprising
Journalist in this country.

THE PRESIDENT rs POWER
LESS.

The letter of Ex-senator Is. 4.
Bruce. on the southern situation,
which appeared in Gne of our con-
temporaries last week, is both
timely and instructive. The out
RACES perpeutrated npon our peo'
ME 10 the South have, within the
last fsw months, been increasing
with painful rapidlty aud the un-
rest and dissatisfaction resulting
therefrom are finding expressions
in various forms. The repu0h-
can party being 10 power, 1t Is
perhaps natural that the colored cl-
tizen finding himself hedged in on
all sides by embarrassments
turned to the republican Presi~
dent for relief and is sorely disap-
pointed at not finding il, He feels
that as an American citizen be is
entitled to the protection of life
aud property and he does not
readily understand why the Chief
Magistrate cannot accord 1t to
him.
MIR. Bruce's letter will De help
ful in that, it corrects the mlsap-
prehendsions as 10 the powers OF
the President, aud shows that the
functions of the Executive are
not Legislative but administrative;
that be can not make the laws
but can only enforce them as they
exist and that however much he
may deplore violence at the
South, be cannot in the absence
of legislation on that subject do
more than has been done. 1t Is
the duty OF Congress, at its next
session, to take notice of the con.
dition of things at the South and
to enact the Legislation necessary
in the premises.

Editor of BEE:

EQlCOf Ol DEE
Mr.. Douglass, from what he
learned of Astwood. objected to
his appointment as one of his
subordinstes, aud he never with
drew that objection, even after
Astwood went over to New York
aud brought on Mr.. T. Thomas
Fortune to plead his cause one
Sunday afternoon at Mr.. Doug
lass residence. 1t is we'll known
that Astwood circulated the re-
port that Mr.. d., had sent for him
and promised to withdraw his
objections to his appointment,
but that report was absolutely
false and was simply in keeping
with many other statements OF this
man Astwood. You would be
surprised if you knew what these
were against this man at the State
Dept, that has not been given
publicity to. Record indeed! [
suppose he did submit his
reports regularly or else he could
not draw his salary.
