THE CONTESTED CASES.

The decision OF the House Com
mittee TO recommend the seating
of Hon. JOHN MERCER LANGsToN
and Hon. THOMAS K. MILL Err has
been received by the colored peo--
pie with universal favor. 1t is to
be regretted that they should have
been deprived Of their seats until
this late hour.
We trust that Hon. JAMES HILL
will meet with a like success.
There can be no question but that
he is the choice of the people OF
the District from which he comes
1t behOoves the Republican mem
bers in this Congress to deal just.
" with our race leaders and there
by indirectly benefit the race. We
desire our representatives to be
heard in our behalf.
The rightful seating Of Mr.. Nc
DUFFEE, IN our Judgment should
form the basis for the settling
MIR. HILLS case. If we are cor
rectly advised, they are similar.
There should be no hesitation il
this matter.
1t is also absolutely necessar,
that we be given a Federal Elec-
ton Law. The methods resorteC
to by the several Southern State
in order to defeat the will of til,
people at the polls is a disgrace +,
the country. Let the matter b
fully discussed and the best propo
sitiOns combined so that a law Cal
be enacted which will accomplish
what the country requires.

If reports are TO be relied upon,
the white Board of Visitors of the
Va. Normal and Collegiate Insti-
tute, near Petersburg, Va. has
pleasantly disappointed us. The
reelection of the entire faculty
will give general satisfaction. The
determination to establish an
industrial department by employ
ing two competent persons to take
charge Of the carpentering and
shoe-making division, will be Teceiv
ed with approval by the colored
people everywhere. We regret
however that the Board has seen
fit to appoint white physician to
the school. DR.. Slillwell of Peters
burg, the skillful colored practition
er had dem onstrated his ability in
that direc ion, and would have
been fitting appointee for this
colored school. We donot know that
he was an applicant, but he should
have been. We have not Ibeeu
advised relative to the action O.
the Board concerning the course o.
study. If it has interfered with
the higher education of the students
we are ready to express oul
disapprobation. So far as the
account goes, however it has don,
well.

DEMOCRATIC DECEPTION.

Never was partisanry in city politics
more plainly demonstrated, and the
denial of the right of suffrage to the
Colored men more readily acquiesced
in than in the case of creating
more precincts for Madison Ward.
1t had been decreed that it was
necessary to have more voting pre-
cincts. If this was true of Madison,
heavy white ward, what must be
said of Jackson Ward?
1t was announced in the Halls of
Congress that the questioning of vo-
tiers was not done to delay time,
that all recognized the right of the
Colored men to vote, and that they
stood ready to give them-that right,
and yet when the mem Der from Jack
son Ward offered resolution amend
ing Chapter ii ofthe City Ordinances,
it was voted down and killed by be-
ing referred TO the Committee on
Elections.
No longer can the mask be worn.
The whole country now have an OPP
portunity of witnessing the hypocrisy
of the Virginia Bourbons. Here is a
black ward with only four precincts.
More than one thousand voters were
denied the right of the elective fran
chise, and when it's representatives
asked the Richmond City Council for
one more precinct and presented a
plan apportioning the ward in five di-
visions it was killed by the elderly
loving" Democrats of our city legisla-
ture.
What have the Colored men who
are disposed to look favorably upon
Democratic professions TO say now?
What excuse can they give fol
these Democrats who claim TO be
their best friends, and whose repre-
sentatives went into Jackson Ware
when there was no occasion for il
and stuffed the ballot boxes. All, il
is evident that the Bourbon Demo
ratio element is no friend to tn,
colored man and invite his solidity
which under existing conditions th,
colored people will always manifest
Bourbon fraud and trickery must gc
to the rear.

The Republican Caucus which
met in Washington last Tuesday
night decided to pass a National
Election Law. Speaker Reed
made a speech in favor OF it, and
announced that the National Gov
eminent must take charge of its
own elections and guarantee to CIV
cry man the right to cast one ballot
and have it counted as he cast
it.
Bravo, Mr.. Reed Let a strong
measure be drawn up at once anC
let the next Congressional election
be conducted under its provisions
1t is provided that just ten days
shall be spent upon the bill, aftel
which the previous question will b.
considered as ordered and the me;
sure viii be passed. The Republ
cans have eighteen majority in th'
House of Representatives :;
much for the fraud in jackson
Ward.

The past session of the Richmond
Public Schools has been most sue
cessful under the excellent manage
ment Of Superintendent WILLIAM
f. Fox. His discharging so faith
fully and efficiently the duties of
principal of the Richmond High
School made him deservedly popu-
lar, and his success in the new office
to which he was elevated shows
that he will continue to win public
favor. Conscientious men are in
demand. 1t is well for the Public
School System that one occupies
the superintendent chair in Rich
mond city.

That colored man in Georgia,
who fired into a crowd of murder
GUS cutthroats who attempted TO
enter his home and then proceeded
to finish them up with an axe, did
more to solve the Negro problem
than dozen orators or a hundred
preachers. Religion doesn't always
penetrate the thick skull of Bour
bon's Uranium, but an axe does.

The action of the Democratic
caucus in unanimously renominat-
ing Police Justice JOHN j.
CRUTCHFIELD is commendxbie.
This popular official, as far
as we have been able to
Observe, has endeavored to do his
duty and administer justice impair
TALLY.
Democrat though he be, while
realizing his Party obligations he
has demonstrated what we have al
ways declared possible: namely, the
administering of the affairs Of Of
flee in such manner, while satisfy
ing Party associates at the same
time, meriting and winning the ap
probation Of all political elements
by a recognition of those eternal
principles which all men recognize
and admire.
What more can we say of Col.
w. f. CUTsHAw, the man of all
men who has the beauty and pros
petty of Richmond at hearth Kind,
gentlemanly, affable, he is a famil
lar son of "the city OF seven hills"
His popularity increases with the
years.
Mr.. b. t. AUGUST, Who was al
so renominated and a Democrat of
the strlctest type, is one of the
most faithful, as well as conscien
tiOus officials in the city's service
He, too realizes the Importance of
his obligations and discharges his
duty in the most impartial but busi
ness like manner. Richmond
is blessed with some liberal mind
ed officials. 1t is seldom that
we do it, but justice demands that
commentator should be extended
in this direction and we have pre-
ceeded to perform the service.
