A COMPROMISE.

Bv an agreement among the
party leaders of the Senate the
Election Bill is to 90 over to the
next session of Congress, and be
then called up as unfinished busl-
ness. This is a grave mistake and
time will prove that it Is such.
THIS measure was fully discussed
in the House and passed by a par
ty vote; it was discussed by the
public journals with an earnest
ness seldom witnessed. and it was
canvsssed by the people them
selves with an intelligence and a
fullness that has characterized no
oiher public measure for years
The Republican masses had
placed the stamp Of their APPROX
al upon it before it reached the
Senate. Yet, weeks and weeks
have been consumed by that hon.
orsble body in desultory discus
ION OF the tariff and similar ques
tions. Aud now at the last mo-
ment it is announced that the
measure must 90 over to the next
session OF Congress.
The Democratic Senators will
oppose the passage of the bill then
with the same vehemence that
would have characterized their ac-
non had it been pressed to an is
sue at the present session. All
the obstructive parliamentary
tactics that are available to them
now, will be available then, aud
there will be but thirteen weeks,
including Christmas holidays, In
which the matter can be consider
ed, unless there should be an extra
session of Congress. To the Re-
pubIicaus OF the country who
have looked forward hopefully to
the passage Of this measure, it is
a sore disappointment. 1t is not
our purpose TO arraign any indi-
vidual Senator for the failure of

The colored convention that
met at Raleigh, n. G, this week
and refused to listen to Hon. II.
l.. Chea'ham, committed a gross
error Mr. Cheatham's course in
Congress has been commendable
and upright, with but a slight ex
ception. Mr.. Cheatham has done
more for bis constituents than any
Congressman that has ever repre-
sented his district. The man
who Offered the insult should re-
ceiVe the condemnation of the
republicans of North Carolina.
His nomination by acclamanou af

1t is with feelings of commingl.

nation from date as a member of
your honorable body is hereby
rendered, having during nearly
six years been connected with
your association, as President and
as a member, and having devot-
ed energy, patience and whatever
ability [ may have Possessed to-
ward the elevation OF your organ
lzation and also toward the con-

and our relationship having been
so signalIy amicable, cordial and
always fraternal, there are no
words that can express the emo
ton that l fell as l contemplate
the many happy "reminiscences
that we have had in common,
ana the severance OF my relatlon-

indeed written with a reluctant
hand; but yet the knowledge that

be other than one conspicuous in
the successful accomplishment of
all its undertakings.

has been in his power to make
himself one, and with the money
of the government in his hand to
tender in payment in advance for
the use of a house publicly announ'
ced without any limitation, as be-
ing for rent. and yet the owner or
agent acting for him, has the pow
er to rule out his respectablllty,
his citizenship, and his money and
decline to let him have the house
simply and solely because be is,
what he has been taught to call,
colored. Who can imagine the
mans feelings, and who can blame
him for the deep muttered curses
which may sweep through his mind
as he stands thus publicly humili-
ated and shamed in a real estate
office? What is the remedy? The
first remedy to be provided as l
think is the remedy of law. The
same sort of law that applies to
common carriers, ought in my
judgement to apply to common
homes. Houses publicly announc.
ed for rent ought to come under
the provisions of a law forbidding
discrimination on account of race
color or previous condition. Such
a law ought to be enacted for the
District of Columbia and put in
force. 1t is an outrage beyond the
power of man to estimate, that
thousands of our best citizens are
subjected to daily insult in this
particular. In the meantime let the
cOlored people Of the Dist organize

ton.
In order to effect some modifica-
tion l would recommend now, what
| recommended two years ago, viz :
that the colored men of means take
the PHILADELPHIA plan, and buy up
suburban property, and tenant
houses, and vacant lots in this city
and open homes for colored people
thus drawing them away from
white landlords. l would propose
also the withdrawal of patronage
in every other practicable direc-
ton, from all those who are engag-
ed III this conspiracy to drive color
ed people from all respectable
houses. To my mind it would be
a good thing for the various color
ed associations to take up this sub
jet and give it a most thorough
discussion, and | venture the re-
mark, that any set Of people who
quietly endure such indlgnities are
not signally indicating their claims
as worthy citizens of this great Re-
public. We Can break up this out
rageous iniquity right here in
Washington and it is our duty to
get about it.

HOUSE RENTING BY COLOR.
ED PEOPLE.
BY T. G. STEWART.

One of the most humiliating ex-
perlenceS tor the "persOn OF color"
who may happen to come to Wash
ington to live is that of "hOuse
hunting" Looking over the papers
he will see hundreds of houses for
rent, and will find agents in abun-
dance. 1t will take him bat few
moments. perhaps, to find the To-
cation and the house he wants !;
but then instead of being at the
end of his search, as would be the
case if be were white, he has just
reached the beginning of his
"hunt." For the cOlored renter it
is indeed a hunt, and the more re
spectacle, and the more able to
pay a good rent be is, the more
likely 1t is that his hunt will be
long and serious. | know of no ex-
perience so exasperating and at the
same time SO humiliating, as that

himself the owner of houses, and
who has never thought of discrimi-
