NEGROES IN TIE DISTRICT.
They Want the Suffrage Restored Eecauss

At the next session of congress a mone
Bter petition will be presented by Repre-
sentative Murray of South Carolina, the
only colore man in either house, pray
ing for the restoration of the rights Ct
political suffrage in the District of Co.
lumbia. 1t will be signed by MAORI
ty Of the negroes of the District, headed
by Frederick Douglass and ex-senator
Bruce. This move grows out of the re-
fusal Of the commissioners of the Dis
trict to appoint colored man as one Of
the members of the board of assessors
recently created by act of congress The
oolored men had On applicant in the
person of Daniel A Murray, an assist
ant in the congressional library and a
member Of the board of trade. Frederick
Douglass especially interested himself in
behalf Of Mr.. Murray, but the board re-
fused to 1point him. The colored PEG
ole made stubborn fight for the assess
orship, AID now that that has been de.
nied them no offices are left, and they
propose to llemorialize congress for the
restoration # the right of suffrage in
the District
When tae mirage was in vogue in
the District, tie negroes were an inpor-
tant fact Ia the government, and a
part of Ia ps ronage was accorded
them. T re wa negro assistant dis
trict attorney, q registrar and a city
marshal, aid other lucrative offices
were filled by lem. But with abolition

cut off one " one until the assessorship
was the only place filed by negro
Now even that has been taken away.
Frederick Douglass says shat the gov
eminent Of the District is an oligarchy,
and it is wonder to him that the peo-
pie have tolerated it as long as they
have. Under its present form Of gov
eminent he thinks it impossible for the
80, 900 colored people to get any civil
or political recognition. He says the
trend is now against the negro, but
that a reaction will speedily set in.
The sentiments of Mr. Douglass are
Endorsed by other prominent colored
citizens Of the District who say that if
they are not successful in their move
they will at least let the world know
they feel keenly the discrimination on
account of color in the government @.
