SOME PLAIN TALK.

To the Age-Herald:
 In the controversy now going on relative to the contest in this district between MT. Underwood and Mir. Aldricn as to the mo- tive of the negroes in putting out a legisla- tive ticket in August last, the action has been attacked by counsel for the contestee to show. that the same was prom ulgated by the democratic party. As part and par eel of the convention that nominated said negro legislative ticket 1 most earnestly protest against the charges, as enuncated py said counsel for the contestee, and while this investigation is going on those who composed that convention desire and court the fullest investigation, as this seems to be the bone of contention as to what actuated the negroes in the primaries. The same unrest that now prevails as to whether the negro is part and parcel of the repu ubiican party is really tue cause of that nomination being made.
 The negro having been subservient to the beck and call of his former leaders, yet when he dares to act for himself or h op- position to their expressed will or de- mands, the same must be branded accord ing to their judgment as democratic trick.
 We deny in toto this assertion. The negro, with his educational qualifications ana experience, politically and otherwise, has arrived at that state where he is able to think, act and speak for himself.
 If the manipuiations of conventions are Set up aRalQbt Qlm, n6 udb au tuSCbif6 weapon-the ballot-to wield against his enemies and in defense of his rights. No negro in these Uuited States has learned to use 1t more effectively than the negroes of Alabama.
 The masses of the negroes in this district supported the republican nominee in good faith. By his utterances at the jollifica- tion meeting held at the corner of Second avenue and Eighteenth street on one night in November last MT. Aldrich charged colored men with indifference as to the election, and for selling their certificates at from 15 to 50 cents, thereby causing his de- feat. No amends were made to that class of colored citizens who supported the re- publican party in good faith. Yet they see fit to draw in the quagmire of the con- gressional investigation the negro's right and privilege to exercise that constitu- tional right granted to all American citi. zens. If their omnipotent will is not car ried out the negro must be publicly de- nounced.
 We serve notice now in language unmis- takably clear that we wear no mans yoke or collar when he rises in his might to down right. The negroes of Alabama will continue to nominate tickets without let or hindrance, or without consulting any small body of white repn blicahs as to the advisability of the same when they do not get just treatment at the hands of their supposed white republican friends and allies.

ANOTHER VICTIM
Of Garza's Attack at Bocas Del Toro. The Prisoners in Stocks-A
 Schooner Captured.

MOBILE, March 16.-Tne Register today received per the steamship Jarl the follow ing letter from it's correspondent at Bocas del Toro:
 BocAs DEL ToRo, March 10.-One man, a soldier, died today of his injuries, and it is expected several more will die. They are, being given all possible attention. The child and it's mother who were shot dur ing the battle are doing as well as can be expected. All the dead were buried on yesterday afternoon.
 A small schooner belonging to the rebels was captured yesterday afternoon. Seventy five Remington rifles and several thousand cartridges were found. The men in con- mand of the schooner jumped overheard and swam to shore. The boat is now an- chored safely near the barracks. The rebels bringing so many extra rihessproves they had an idea of gaining endorsements on their arrival in Bocas. For some unknown reason their forces did not join them, hence their defeat. The prisoners have their feet in stocks and are confined in the barracks. The steamer Premier arrived this afternoon from Colon, but brought no soldiers.
 Few of the men who made the attack are from Colombia. It is supposed they were (, band of professional thieves bent on pill Iags and plunder, under command of Garza.
 The rebels made threat to return and burn the oity, but they have put In no ap- pearance yet, as they are very few in num- Der, and the Atlanta's force on land has had good effect.

GOING INTO BLAsT.-One of the Thomas furnaces is preparing 10 go in blast, and the other will follow soon after. Coal is now being shipped to the furnace, and it will take about ten days to make all neoes- sary arrangements. The Thomas plant is one of the best equipped in the south, and is good money maker. The Messrs. Thomas have made contracts for some time ahead, and the furnaces will doubtless run continuously from this time on.
