ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR
HIS HEART.
THOMAS ALLEN HAS A WEDDING AND
A LAW SUTTON HIS HANDS.


Thomas Allen applied yesterday
for marriage license for himself
and Lucinda Green, and on the
same day he was served with
notice that Sarah G. Anderson
had sued him tor breach of prom.
Use, with John Amber Smith as
counsel, claiming $4,000 as COM
pensation for his wrongs. Thomas
is a young man who moves in the
best Of colored society, and he
has also something of a record for
piety, being an elder in the Rev,
Mr.. Pritchard's church, in North
east Warrington.
Sarah Anderson tells a story
which attributes to him the basest
perfdy. About a year ago he
induced ber to leave comfortable
situation In New York aud come
to Washington. He wooed and
won; she named the day, but he
failed to keep the appointment.
She says that by promising to
marry Der he secured her consent
to an intimacy which should not
have existed until after their
marriage.
Recently she discovered his
attachment for Lucinda Green,
and finding that he proposed to
marry her, took the decisive step
of filing the breach OF promise
suit.-Daily Post.

DESERVING REPUBLICANS.

Everywhere we can see black
and white republicans spriugipg
up like mushrooms. These repub-
hcans could not be seen or heard
of during democratic supremacy,
but now they are seen on every
street corner and in every de-
partment under the government.
10 speak the truth, the men who
kept the republican party alive in
this city, when no black or white
republicans would show his head,
were men who should receive rec
ognition under, this sdmlnistra-
ton. We are confronted daily
by men who hare shouted theme
selves almost to death over the
victory of the republican party,
but long before the election we
could see but very few men

We understand that the person in
charge of the specification room
in the Interior Department at the
request Of certain aOhite ladies
employed there had the two csl-
ored ladies who were appointed to
that room transferred to the mod.
ell room because these nice DEM
ocratic ladies could not tolerate
their presence. We hope the
successor OF the Democrat now in
charge of the office, will not emu
late his example. " -

We also desire to call the at
tention Of General Robt. Smslls
to one Chance Green, Of Buford
County, who gave gratuitieus
testimony against Gea'I Smalls in
the interest Of Elliot. Green
is in the Treasury Department,
and If Gen'l Smalls doesn't do
his duty he is not entitled to the
respect of the colored people of

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.

The question is now what rec
ognition will southern colored re-
publicans receive at the hands of
the administration? Every white
man more or less in the south, is q
republican. Long before the elec-
ton a very few of them could be
found, but the loyal black man
could be seen and heard in every
hut and on every corner adyocat- =
ing the election of Harrison aud
Morton. Now it comes to pass that
the SO called white republicans
want all the offices.
We hope that the President will
see to it that eolored republicans
receive a liberal recognition. We
don't ask the appointment OF in
competent men, but we do ask
that such men IS j. IL. Devaux of
Savannah Ca, E. f. Hor of
Chattanooga, Tenn, Stamps OF
Louisiana, and other such
worthy colored men be given good
places. We are told that we should
not be seeking offices. We have
the same right to expect recogni-
ton as any body else. If our votes
are wanted, we want offices from
those who were placed in power
by our aid.

INDIANA WITHDRAWS.

Rev. DIR. j. w. Randolph, a
well known and popular citizen
of this county, has Withdrawn his
Indiana candidate for the Rec
order of Deeds for a District man,
but he yet insists upon the ap-
pointment of T. j. Manson for
the Liberian Mission. It has been
satisfactory settled with the pres
ident and DR.. Randolph in regard
to the Recorder of Deeds and his
friends. This will relieve the

HON. WIN. E CHANDLER.

The reelection of Mr.. Chandler
to succeed himself iu the Senate
of the United States, seems now
quite probable, His presence in
the upper house is necessity. lie
is one of the few republicans in
this country who dsres to give ut
tereuce to his real sentiments up
on those questions that affect the
future prosperity and well being of
the negro. The rebel wing of the
democratic party 10 the senate
chamber would like to see him de-
teated because be has proved to be
q thorn In the side of the demo-
cratic party. If the gentlemanly
buIlies in broadcloth dared to they
would strike him down as Pres
ton Brooks the would be assassin
of Chas. Sumner did that beloved
and honored Statesman. The white
man in public position who cham
pions the cause of the negro, makes
inveterxte enemies of the bloody
representative in Congress who
speak and act for the democratic
party north. Mr.. Chandler has
introduced certain measures in the
senate which are in themselves of
vital Importance to the entire
cohtry. He is needed in the sem
ate to push his bill regulating elec-
tions a. the South and to place the
cause of the prosecuted and bull
dozed white and black men
of the South. New Hampshire can
send no man to the senate who
will be more acceptable who will
work more assidiously who will
represent the sate more credits-
bly, than Hon. VIM. Chandler.
Kentucky would be disappointed
should he be returned, and be will
be and the Southern representa-
tives, generally would not feel
quite as happy as they would if bs
is defeated. We are however, glad
TO be able to say that the indica-
tions, point to his triumphant ree-
lection and that the pugiiis'ic
proves of Kentuckys Junior Sem
ator 10 largely responsible for the
favorable turn which affairs have
taken politically among the gran
lie hills If Now Hampshire.
The Northern people do not ad.
mire thugs and bulhes. The day
of the slave driver and overseer
breed of statesman went by some
years ago, but there is still in our
midst a few Of that class who have
not quite realized the truth Of
modern history as it relates to our
times, and who on occasion give
exhibitions of their lantstion
manners and customs Oh the floor
OF Congress. That senator Chand-
ler is good man is evidenced by
the amount Of democratic abuse
and vetuperation heaped upon
him wherever be has dared to
invade its chsruel house and tx
pose the bones OF it's victims to
the gaze of the American people.
During the Lext four years We
shaIl need a few courageous men
in the National Legislature to
help solve the white mans prob
lem (e) negro question. Sen stor
Chandler we feel confident will be
one of them, and when this prob>
lem is solved, ife ever, we may truth
