ASTWOOD DEFEATED.

Ex-Counsel Ii. @. G. Astwood,
who was about TO be commission
ed for the counselship TO San Do
mingo, has been defeated on
the charges filled against him by
Hon. Fred. Douglass, said to have
been furnished by his son, MIR.
Charles r. Douglass. Similar
charges were published in the
Colored Veteran, which Mr.. Ast-
wood, doesn't seemed to be III
clined to answer. In speaking t9'
q BEE representative about the
charges published against him
aud what disposition he intended
to make of them, he said; that he
didn't intend to notice them.
The charges are too serious for
Mr.. Astwood to talk that way.
AstwoOd said that be is charg4
with having two wives, and Other
immoral things and still he says
that they are not worth answer
ing. The record Of Mr.. Astwood
IN the department OF State Is said
10y DIR. St.Clare, of the counselor
division to be first class Whatev-
er the charges are on file against
Mr.. Astwood, were placed in the
hands of the President, who
informed MIR. AStwood a few days
ago, that he could not reopen the
case, which meant that he could
not reappoint him to the San Do
miDgo mission. Mr.. Astwood is
very sore and declares that he
proposes TO make war on the
President. He will sail for San
Domingo in a few weeks and
bring his family TO New York,
where he will start a paper and
euter to commercial business.
Astwood is defeated, but be re-
tires, the department of State
SAYS, with a good record.

the Congress:
Whereas, at the recent elections
in our newly admitted States in the
West, the people gave sentiments
expressive of the principles which
imbody human freedom. There

Resolved, That we, the Baptist
Congress, now assembled in the

of our national elections. Be it
further
Resolved, That whereas, in the
great fight now going on in Virgin

united forces of the party to sustain
the prime pies of the cause; there
fore, we, the body above named,
feel it to be our duty to give our
prayers, labor and influence to Sc
cure the election of Hon. William
Malone as Governor of the State

OFF AGAIN.

The BEE is doing all that ii can do for Hon.
B. X. Bruce for Recorder of Deeds, and Prof.
Gregory is doing all tFat he can for himself
and getting certain Negro papers to publish
them as editorials Neither ex-senator Bruce
nor is Prof. Gregory entitled TO 1t. Professor
Gregory can better serve his ra aoe in the school
room. and ex-senator Bruce is no ward OF the
Negro race, nor the Republican party. He has
done no more for the race or party, If az much
than a thousand other colored men that are
as competent TO discharge the duties of that
office IA he is, Let President Harrison give
some of the representative places TO be given
TO the Negro race, To Southern Negroes, not
men Ike Lynch and Bruce who live in Wash
ingtOn and speculate upon an ignorant con-
stituency as they DO, but men who are down
here carrying their part of the burden, in the
heat of the battle, for the triumph of Republi.
can principles. Hornet"
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Hornet, is off again. 1t says now
that we are urging Senator Bruce
for Recorder of Deeds. 1t has
been but a few weeks since editor
Dukes asserted that the editor OF
this paper was candidate for that
office. Does it look natural that
we would urge Mr.. Bruce for that
office, if editor Dukes former
statements are correct?
Now, Bro. Dukes, Mr.. Bruce is
not a candidate tor Recorder of
Deeds for this city, in fact, ae is
not a candidate for any Office, but
we do believe that President Har-
rlson will tender Mr.. Bruce such
recognition, his ability as a leader
entities him.
So far as Mr.. Lynch is concern
ed, we agree with our contempor-
ary, and it is strange TO us ha%s-
-, AZ - : 'sss--N AAO"
as3s aH3ss och was appointed 4th Auditor
by President Harrison, when he
opposed Harrison at Chicago and
supported Judge Gresham.
Neither did Lynch say any
thing for the party in the last
campaign. This is the gentleman
who asserted that there is not a
decent edited Negro organ in this
country. We ale of the opinion
before a man attempts to criticise
Negro organs he should certainly
know how to dictate or write a
grammatical letter.
