Over new graves the saddest; for to morrow

No glad renewal Even though To day
We meet, we two, touch hands, join kindly
laughter;
Well, what Of that My friend is lost,

Lost though no mound rears its green
height above him,
Lost though his face shines bright, his

MALONE AND DOUGLASS.

1t is not the desire of the BEE to
mlsrepresent Mr.. Fred Douglass
and his relationship with Ex.Sena-
tor Malone.
1t is fact when Mr.. Douglass
accompanied Mr.. Magnus l.. Rob
inson to Mahone's headquarters at
Chambellain's and requested Ma
hone to indorse Mr.. Robinson, and
he refused to do so, Mr.. Robinson
remarked to Mr.. Douglass, "Now
you can see how obnoxious BOSS
Malone is; you can see what the
people of Virginia have to contend
with.
In reply Mr.. Douglass said,
"Well | am surprised, l don't want
to live in Virginia, etc. They both
left disgusted and angry with Ma
hone because he declined to in,
dorse the application of Robinson.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

Two weeks ago we had occasion
in the THEY SAY column of
this paper to refer to James IL.
Smith, an ex-school trustee, of our
Public Schools, and to criticise his
position in a matter connected
with our Public Schools.
Smith, whose will is larger than
his brains, sent us a threatening
letter, which will be found in an
other column uf this paper, and
the public will see that be threat
ems to expose the secrets of a
former client of his aud our re-
lations, thereto, as a journalist.
He Informs us that we cannot
afford to criticise him on account
of the aid we rendered him and
his client.
Evidently Smith had a very
weak case, or else he did not have
the ability to win it, and so he So
licited our aid, and now threatens
to expose us if we criticise him.
1t will be eeen that We have re-
Iieved him of the responsibility,
trouble and worry in the matter
by publishing his unprotessional
and cowardIy letter.
Does Smith expect the people
to have further confidence In him
as an attorney at law? Does be
think that anything that he can
say or do will deter us from criti.
cising him? If he does he is mis-
taken in the man and has adopted
a method that shows him up to be
affected with the big head.
Prof. Gregory, in his reply to
his letter before the school board,
has shown Smiths lack of kuowl-
edge of the rules of the board and
his error in his attack on the
school board. Smith has not been
at ease since he was retired from
the school board, aud since be
has been convinced that he failed
in bulldozing the school board, be
now attempts to intimidate us.
Now to his letter. In the first
place Smith should attend schoo
! and learn how to use the Englist
language; he should 60 and stud,
the rules of punctuation and thel
study law and learn how to keel
the secrets of his clients before b,
rushes into print.

THE LIARS ASSOCIATION
AND SEN ATOR CHAND-
LER.

Some Democratic newspapers
and statesmen, seem to derive
much pleasure in adverting the
circumstances which compelled
Senator Chandler to characterize
Senator Blackburn, brother of
the man who wanted 10 ride
horseback IN Yankee blood-''as
Negro driver and bullduzer. !"
1t will not affect Mr.. Chambers
standing as an honorable man and
a good republican if he declined to
stamp out these designing Demo-
cratic liars, in respect to what
took place on that occasion. The
country is we'll aware of the fact
that the Northern States are not
in the habit of sending pugilists
and bullies to Congress to repre-
sent them, and Northern republi-
cans are quite willing that Senator
Blackburn and those who sympa
thlze with him and endorse bis
plantation manners, shall take all
the credit for the affair which the
reelection of Mr.. Chandler has
revived. We believe tne Sena-
tors statement to be true one
and we do not care picayuue how
much or how long the Democrats
keep it up. 1t makes more and
stronger friends for the brave lit
tie man from New Hamshire who
will not In the future allow himself
to be bulldozed by burly South
ern ruffians who come to Congress
by Just such methods.

SNEAKS AND TRAITORS.

We admire and respect an
open enemy because We always
know where to find him and
what be thinks of US. We have
nothing but contempt and loath>
ing for two legged cars, who GO
around town with a smile on their
faces and a dagger in their hands
ready TO assasinate those who have
had the courage to expose their
viIlianous and rascaIly methods
and who do not hesitate to do it.
There are many shallow pated
colored men In Washington who
have given themselves away by
exhibiting this treasanable and
mean spirit to those whom they
think have the Influence and the
power to aid them in securing
places in the departments.
We have lately been shown
some correspondence of this class
which We are not at liberty to
quote, written by a colored man
10 the head of a certain Depart
ment tradncing and villifying the
character of another colored man
with view to securing his posi-
tion. The scheme will not work
for the intended victim has been
made more secure and all the out
side influence of this class in
Washington cannot remove him.
Intelligent men do not work by
the same methods that shallow
pated and ignorant men find me-
cessary to adopt to wreak ven
geauce upon those whom they dis
like. And colored men whether
ignorant or intelligent, do not
inspire the confidence or respect
of fair minded white men when
they essay the role of Judas by
betraying and slandering colored
men. White men look for mo>
tives and enquire into the causes
which lead these vilIianous moral

THE PENSION OFFICE.

While Commissioner Tanner
manifests so much interest in
white soldiers and their widows,
We beg leave to call his attention
to the seeming neglect to colored
soldiers and their widows. When
Genl. Dudley was Commissioner
of Pensions he never hesltated 10
promote worthy and deserving
clerks. We want to see Commits
ioner Tanner do more for the col
ored soldiers, their widows, and
the worthy eolored clerks in his
department and less talking. We
want to see the claims of co!ored
ex>soldiers be given some consid
Grafton as well as the whites.

Mr.. Editor:

Mr. EQltOT.
As a member of the delegation
that called on the President last
week, to ask for the appointment
of Mr.. Douglass as Recorder of
Deeds, | desire to say a word as
to what the President really did
say since so much has been re-
ported that he did not, as a truth
ful man, could not, and as
sensible ole would not. say. In
the first place the President did
not say he would not appoint Mr..
Douglass Recorder, although he
said if Mr.. Douglass would accept
some other position even of great
er honor he could give 1t to him
with less embarrassment to the
administration. Mr.. Smyth did
not speak of the Recordership at
all, the President of his own ac-
cord referred to and discussed the
matter at length. The President
did say he would like to have
Mr.. Douglass opinion about the
appointment of young colored
men, particularly in the South,
but did not Say every time Mr..
Douglass had been up there il
was 10 his own interest. The
President did speak in the most
complimentary terms OF MIR. Bruce,
and | think justified the expecta-
ton of the genial and able Ex-
Senator's friends that he would
receive honorable recognition. He
also spoke very highly of Messrs.
Lynch and Townsend, but never
once did he commend any of these
gentleman at the expense of Mr.
Douglass, indeed l thought be
spoke more highly of him than
did the gentleman who went there
in his interest. He did not say
by wold or Implication how many
big places would be given to col
ored men, certainly he did not say
two or more than two. Ii as has
been so frequently and 80 unwar-
rantably done, [ may be allowed
10 presume for, cast what is likely
to happen. | would say that |
think the President will very
likely appoint MIR. Bruce, either
Register or Marshall aud ask Mr..
Douglass to relieve him of his
present embarrassment by taking
his choice of several first class
places still in his gift, with far
more honor than even the Record
ership of Deeds.
Very respectfully,
Charles s. Morris.

OUR SCHOOLS.

For several years it has been
the ambition of eertaian aepirants
for the trusteeship, of our public
schools, to be appointed on the
school board for mercenary and
immoral purposes; and the teach
ers have more or less stood in fear
or dred of these would be guardi-
ans of our children. There are
certain men now circulating petit
tions in their own interest and the
interest of others who have no
more business to be on the school
board than donkey has to be in
a china shop.
It is true that there are certain
reforms needed in our High school
but otherwise the schools will
compare favorably with our white
schools. We. favor Prof. I'll. M.
Browne as principal of the High
school. He is a progressive young
man and a man in whom the peo.
pie have confidence. Trustees
Cornish, Francis and Gregory
owe it to the people to give them
a first class High school. Prot.

reasons are that Mr.. Hines is more
