BERLIN, Oct. 25-The Lokal Anzeiger
prints dispatch from Livadia confirm

steadfastly refuses to anathematize her
former faith in obedience to the rights
of the orthodox Greek church, which
requires such Remuneration as pre-

If there is anything in this world
that is needed among the colored
aged and infirm it is charitable ins
stitution. While there are numbers
of institutions which are supported
in part by an appropriation
made by congress hese institutions
were built by private parties or pri.
vate subscription. With large
number of aged and in6rm celored
people in this district and surrounds
ing, there are only ten that can be
accommodated in what we call reg :.
ular charitable institution, and these
are provided for in the basement of
the asylum on Eighth street. There's
fore, it can easily be seen the neces-
sity of such an institution that will
enable US to care for the aged and
infirm of our people. We believe
therefore, that if the colored voters
prove to the country that they know
that they are citizens and a part Of
this great country of ours and are
su ported by the government, and
will do all in their power in the sew
eral districts to return these men
whom we named, and others who
are worthy, to the fifty>fourth con.
gress. we feel assured that we will
be enabled to provide a National
Home for our aged and infrm which
will be monument to the memory
of deceased colored soldiers. 1t has
been the long d sire of the colored
people of the country to have some
thing as memorial of deceased sol
diers who served in the late war,
and this is the institution will make
an everlasting memorial to the
memory OF deceased soldiers, tor this
is the only way that the money now
lying in the treasury derived from
these sources can be used, for the
evidence required to prove these
claims to individuals cannot be pro-
duced, tor the government requires
that each claim should be certified
by a notary or clerk OF the court in
the several States which the soldier
was from.

GOOD MEN FOR CONGREss-NOT
PARTIES.

After spending ten years IN
Washington, / find it the interest of
the whole country to have good men
in congress, and that the voters
ought not to be bound to parties,
strictly the co'ored voters, for both
Of the political parties are led by
white men, and they all discriminate
against the colored men in the
public offices and in the public
works. Thereupon, the colored
men of the country ought to sup
port good men and condemn all
parties until the party Or parties are
willing 10 distribute the offices and
public works among the citizens ac
cording to the NUMBER and qualifi :
cations regardless Of color. AL
though there are good men in both
houses and are worthy of the sup>
port Of all the colored men OF the
country such men as Hon. Joseph
H. Cultivate, of Ohio, and Joseph
Wheeler, of Alabama, Pendleton,
of West Virginia, and Richardson,
of Tennessee, and the Hon. Gibson,
of Maryland, and numbers of others
in the 53rd Congress ought to be
returned to the 54th congress.
There is one subject before con.
gress which has been discussed by
the colored people of the country
for over twenty-five years; that is,
the arrears of pay and bounty which
is due lie estates of deceased color
ed soldiers and te reimburse the de-
positors of the Freedmen's Bank.
The fifty third congress is the first
congress that we have been able to
get to report on this subject, This
is contained in House Bill 1895
providing Tor the erection of a Ma
tional Memorial Home for the aged
and infr.n colored people. This
bill was rel lorted from the Commit.
tee on Military Affairs and passed

on the Sth of August was reported
without amendment from the Com
