| A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given;
And though the body slumbers now
The soul is safe in heaven.
Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;
Tis hard, so hard TO speak the words
''Must we for ever part?"
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherishe
Till we see thy Heavenly face.

To Editor OF ILANEr,
Thinking that many readers of your
wide circulated paper would like TO
know of the result of the suit of Mr.
Joseph Murphy brought against Rev
II. n. Jeter. It came up in the court
here last Wednesday. It created great
attraction. The court room was crowd
ed with people from the time the case
opened until it closed. Many persons
who could not obtain admittance were
turned away Mr.. Murphy who was
deposed from the christian ministry
and excluded from the Abyssinian Bap-
tist church for gross immOralities, last
August, sued Rev. IL. n. Jeter for
$1,000 as he said for slander but if the
reports be true which they are, il
would be "a -So~v difficult matter TO
slander Alr. Murphy, the Ex-evange-
list. The case which 20 first seemed to
promise a long and interesting one
proved TO be nothing and was soon non
suited 10y the court. This was very
fortunate for the late travelling ex-
evangelist Had the defence been
heard Mr. Murphy if he had any self
respect, he would have wanted TO have
gone into hole and then pulled the
| hole in behind him. The defence had
witnesses on hand from several differ
ent states who came to testify respect
and gross sins.
| Edwin A. Douglass Esq, of New
/ Bedford, Mass, and Mr.. f. +. Nolan of
| this city were Mr.. Jeter's cOunsels. II
is very rare thing to see colored
lawyer before a Newport Bar. 1t was
matter of great delight to US as a
race to see and hear him. The plain
tiff counsel being a white man under
| took TO treat the cOlOred lawyer with
contempt by not taking any notice OF
him or even speaking to him, because
he was a Negro, but when that Negro
| Douglass arose and began TO pour forth
his elOquence and recite law bearing
on the case it was like an electric
shock to the white counsel on the 9TH
er side, and when he undertook TO rise
| and address the court he had tC
take hold of the chair for support
Douglass had knocked all the strength
out of him, he did not know what tC
say, but finally asked the court to al
low him to 90 TO his Office and-read VI
on the case. The court gave him Il
understand that the law was plain and
the court had no time to lose.
Rev. Mr.. Jeter is the recipient o
many congratulations. The commune
ty at large is with him
Last Sunday was great day in his
church The church was never in !
better condition than now. Pastor and
church are united and perfect peace
and harmony prevail.
Yours very truly,
Bravo.

FREDERICKSBURG, Mar. -, 1895.
Dear PLANET:
1t has been several months since you
have heard from me and being animat-
ed by the spirit of God to let your
readers know of the good work which
has been and is still going on in the
old burg, write to inform you of the
same. The coming of the evangelist
J. +. Schualfield and w. =. Hindes was
the beginning of this great revival
among the white people and hundreds
of them have been added to the num-
ber of believers in Jesus Christ.
The white churches were abundantly
blessed and the good work was taken
up by the cOlored churches and is
still going on with great success.
Rev. J. II. Presley is here laboring
with Rev. w. M. Robinson at Shiloh
Church (new site) and they are having
great success. Up to this writing forty
three candidates have been received
by Rev. Robinson for baptism.
Rev. l.. ID. Brewer is here laboring
with Rev. ]. +. Brown, at Shiloh
Church, Gold site). Their success is
grand and sinners are coming to the
foot-stool of mercy every day. Eighty
nine candidates for baptism have been
received by Rev. Brown, and 1 am
pleased to say that am one among the
number that have found faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ
The funeral of Mrs Katie Sales, the
mother of Rev. George L. Dixon took
place on the 11th from Shiloh Church
(old site). She was 80 years and 6
months old and was consistent mem
Der of the church for 90 years.

Labor Troubles.
Petersburg, Va, Index Appeal. ]

Petersburg, Va, Index Appeal
The riot at New Orleans does not as
sumo the aspect of a race conflict, and
should not be so confounded. 1t Is
true that the contestants (if the mur-
dered victims can be so designated)
were of different races, but the disor-
der grew out of labor troubles, and
would have occurred if the parties had
all been of the same race and national
ity. The murders were instieated by
the dangerous doctrine that one set Of
workingmen may organize themselves
to deprive another set of the right and
liberty to work for such wages as NAV
be agreed upon between them and
their employees. To enforce this usur
patton, murder most foul was commit
ted, and it will be a gross miscarriage
of justice if the perpetrators do not
hang.
If somebody had to be killed in the
New Orleans labor troubles. it wonld
have been better for the city and fo
the state that the whites should have
saved their bullets for those of their
own race. The attack upon the Ne
grOes was cruel and cowardlv and was
assassination in its worst form. We
have entirely too many atrocities north
and south as the result Of labor from
bles.
