COMMUNICATED.

MARCH Z, 1871.
Messrs. Editors II see through the col
umns Of the Enterprise that Capt John N.
Graves has seen fit to reply to the two
cards Of Candid recently published in the
BEACON, and why he thinks they are two
OF the most remarkable articles that ever
appeared in the columns of the BEACON
we will soon see, although there is such a
little in his communication that needs a
reply. Among other things he says that
il is unfortunate that Candid should have
prccipitated controversy Of this kind q:
the present. More than likely it is unfor.
tunate for the Republican party that the
colored man should be enliehted as to who
his true friends are, as tits an undisputable
fact and incontrovertible that the Demo.
cratic party has done and is yet willing TO
DO more for the colored man than has ever
been done by the Republican party as
will show further on. Capt. John N.
Graves seems TO place particular stress
upon Abraham Lincoln signing the eman-
cipation proclamation almost with his life's
blood, and thereby seems TO have forgotten
one important item, and that was that this
same Abraham Lincoln offered the South
ern States all their slaves IL they would

replied that we are fighting for our own

DIED,

Died, in Washington, D. g.. on the oven
ing of the oath of Feb 1895, SUE SOTH.
ORION SLYE, of st. Mary's county, aged
z years and weeks.
Deceased was a young girl of rare at.
tributes of mind and character. At the
death of her parents she was adopted in
the home of her uncle Henry G. Adams,
and after Two years was sent TO make her
home with her brother, Webster Slye, in
Washington, for the purpose of attending
school, where she bad steadily advanced,
passing all examinations with success and
honor, and a short time more would have
given her the diploma for which she so en-.
gerly worked. But alas what is amhi
ton? When recovering from brief i'll
ness, which had given her friends no ap-
prehension, the relentless hand of death
grasped the heart OF this sweet young mai
den, suddenly crushing out the life so full
of promise, so full of hope and love, when
just stepping on the threshold Of a bright
womanhood, leaving only the beautiful
corpse, which was brought down ON Wed.
nesday, encased in an elegant casket, and
arrayeG in a snowy silk shroud, and GOV.
cred with white lilies. so emblemaiic of her
beautiful lifa and character. And the

Gates, and taken up the Golden Harp 10

chrchyard holds another sacred spot, over
which the Spring grass will soon grow
green. and the Summer winds whisper gen.
tie requiem songs. The many and beauti
full floral offerings from friends IN the city
attest the affection with which she was re-
garded there, and the sympathetic and tear
full faces Of those who stood around, and
those who pu; her away in her last resting
place, were proof of the tenderness and
love all feltfor her.
