to Secretary Sherman, then secre.
tary OF treasury, stating that ten
dollars per month was enough for
any negro, when Genl. Smalls was
trying to get the salary of Ruben

had the record searched and ascer.
tained that Rutledge was drawing

HE UNDERSTANDS US.

Bro. Chase, of the BEE, makes the distinc-
ton, in the last issue of his paper. which
makes quite great difference in his criti-
cism of southern leaders. which we accept
in the same kindly spirit in which 1t is
uttered. We know the Bee likes to have its
say about men and measures to suit its own
tastes and inclinations. but il does mean to
do the fair thing generally by it's contempo-
raries. and this spirit we commend. There
are self.assumed leaders in the South whom
We never could, never can and never will,
endorse nor follow, and the sooner we con-
sign them to the shades of oblivion the
better for all concerned. On that score Bro
Chase, We shake hands heartily. In that
position we find plenty of associates.
Our able contemporary, the
Star of Zion. understands the
position of the BEE, relative to
wou.d-be leaders OF the race. II
the editor of the Star could re-
main in Washington a few days

he reads in the BEE our criticism

RICHMOND NOTES.

There is quite an excitement
here among the colored people.
One of the greatest revivals ever
known in this city is now in pro-
gress. There were 81 persons bap-
tized at Ebenezer Bapt. church
last Sunday morning and there
are over 100 now to be baptized
1t is estimated to be over 600
mourners in town including all
the churches. Old and young are
protesting religion.
Quite a talk is going on here
among colored politiciana, about
the delinquency of tide Presi-
dent in appointing a postmaster
for this city. 1t is also a talk
about the statement that the Pres
ident has removed certain colored
servants from the White House.
Your correspondent since his
arrival in the hill city, as it is
sometimes called, has made many
visits. Among some were the
Moore st., industrial institution
where we found young men en-
gagged in printing, carpeting, sew
ing schools for young ladies and
etc. We found also the office of

Mr., Miller has evidently forgot
ten the old proverb that: sTheres
many a slip betwixt the cup and
the lip" else he wouldn't swell
up so much like a cushion fish in
anticipation of future greatness.
MIR, Miller has made a mistake III
antagonizing the Hon. Robert
Smal!s, aud if his smartness in
interposing an objection against
the appointment of Gen'l smaIls
as Collector of the Port of Beau
fort doesn't kill him deader than
he is we are very much mistaken

own money in getting up meetings
to aid in electing him as the
next negro congressman from that
state. Mr. SmalIs can we'll afford
to do without this particular Office,
and Mr.. Miller, who is evidently
desireous of holding one, may
wake up some beautiful morning
next winter and like Othello find
his occupation gone as an "M.C."
Mr.. Miller has not improved
his chances by any means by
throwing himself against the
great Rob't Smalls. He hasn't
injured Mr.. Smalls in any way.
1t will be hard for mushroom

honesty and integrity Of a stall

the Planter. Mr.. Miller is too
previous, and will not prove to be
a blooming success in his particu-

MILLER VS.. SMALLS.

Faithful are the wounds of s
friend, but the kisses of an enemy
are deceitful.
1t is said that the waters oil
South Carolina furnish a species
of fish, the common name ot
which is Cushion Fish, owing to
its resemblance to a pin cushion
The cushion fish has a blue belly,
and when it is touched it swells
to an enormous size and it ID
very pretty to look upon.
The HOMO Thos. E. Miller, OF
the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict of South Carolina, where
cushion fish are to be found in
great numbers in the political
waters of that state, is a fair
specimen of this aquatic tribe.
Mr.. Miller, it will be remem-
bered, ran for Congress last fall in
that district against the man who
connived With his party to deprive
Gen'l Robt. Smalls of his seat in
the 50tk Congress. Mr.. Miller
has not the supreme pleasure of
consoling himself with the fact
that he is even a Congressman

Our own policy should be to unite with

To unite with the great Ameri-

to doing so. Perhaps MIR. Doug

how this may be successfully ac-

the effort eve y since he has been
freeman, but some how or other
he has'ut been able to make it
work as successfully as he could

ticket. His famous speech during
the early part OF Cleveland admin.
istration from which we take our
extract will bear us out in this. Mr.,
Douglass SOUNDED a keynote at that
time which went a good ways to-
ward making colored republicans
more loyal to the principles of
the party. 1t was called forth at
a time when serious inroads were
being made upon the rank and file
of the colored voters by the paid
hirelings'of the democratic party
Douglass came to the front with
his note of warning and boldly de-
clared that the REPUBLICAN party
is the ship all else is the sea"
what is the matter with the repub-
lican party today isn't it a fit place
for the negro? why the necessity
of his breaking away from the old
mooring and attempting to unitry
where be can never unite. Until
such men as Douglass back their
public utterances by public acts as
an earnest of their faith in the pcs
sibilities of the negro. Who has
drawn the color line more than
Frederick Douglass? who has re-
ceived more benefits from the re-
publican party because of having
done so much, than he? who has
done less as a public man, for his
race than he? who expects more
patronage from the administration
because of his efficacy locks and

Douglass gets an office he will
most surely be appointed, because
he is negro no more no less. NJ
the negro cannot afford to divide
his vote. The course for him tc
pursue is to remain in the republi
can party, fight his battles in that
party and stand shoulder to should

ly and only for such republicans
as are willing TO recognizethej just
ness of his claims to equal recog-
milton before the law. Garrison
Phillips, Sumner, Stevens, Morton
Wilson, Loveioy aud others O
the old days never deserted a
principle which they believe

THE COLONIAL MAILS.
come.

Renewal of the Contract by New South
Wales.
The Geographic dispatches an
nouncing the award to the Oceanic
Steamship Company of the contract
for carrying the colonial mails for
another year, commencing next Oct
ober, were confirmed by Spreckels
Bros, agents for the line,
For some time British and Cana
dian capitalists have been consid
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of starting an
opposition line and obtaining the
contract for carrying the mails.
These projects have, however, been
laid at rest, for another year at
least, by the action of the New
South Wales Parliament, which has
decided to shoulder the entire
amount of the subsidy, $185,000
Formerly this was divided, New
Zealand paying two-thirds and New
South Wales one-third of the
amount. It is possible that New
Zealand may decide to come in
again when Parliament meets in
July. In case she does not, the
steamers will go directly from Homo
lulu to Sydney without touching at
Auckland. This will shorten the
voyage seven days.
Another change in the present
route of the steamer is proposed, if
the United States can be induced to
grant subsidy from the Samoan
fund of about $4,000, that is to run
the vessel directly to Apia, instead
of Iutuila, which is eighty miles
distant. At present, communication
from the islands with passing ships
is by means of little schooner man
ned by natives and is very uncer
tain.
Once in about every three trips no
mails are landed because the
schooner fails to show up. If Apia
is made the stopping place communi-
cation will be easier and certain.
The company will be put to an addi-
tiOnal expense, but will not derive
corresponding benefit, hence the de-
mand for the subsidy.
The apathy of the American Gov
eminent is severely commented upon
in the Colonies, which believe that
as the balance of trade is in favor of
this country, it should assist to at
least half the amount in maintaining
the line.-IS S. F. Call.
