the people were justly treated in the
transaction? Idonot, said Mr.. Rowe ;
| believe after the appraisement of the
houses, some of the people did not
get half of that amount.
And again, said Mr.. Rowe, that the
manner of removals was unfair 80, 20
and S days to leave a location of 80
years residence, homes with threats of
soldiers raid and the like, were in
timidation such as the Government
should not be guilty; because the
money is justly claimed and should be
paid by due process of law.
Mr.. Nelson Wallace was shown the
interview at his home in Nauckville,
and most positively denied any &C
acknowledgements of payment In full of
all demands against the Government,
and risks his veracity to inspection of
common sense against official mis-
representation, as to whether it looks
reasonable that he would accept ($Ioo)
as a settlement for S277.SS.
If as the department says, that the
Government has never appropriated
one dollar, then they ought to state,
out of what money were these sums
They appraised the Mount Olivet ed
iice at $500 and because they the
church, could not haul those bricks
away at once, they refused to pay the
appraisement.
Ist. The Government was for unset
tling these people without sufficient
amount for their permanent settlement
elsewhere, they having been induced
in large numbers by soldiers to leave
their former homes, where others who
remained have since, many of them
made, and are worth large fortunes.
2nd. The ground of our claims for
governmental protection and obliga-
ton is, that each man, woman and
child who refuses to cultivate rebel
laws in support of them, in arms on
the field against the Government, was
equal to a soldier on the field in active
service.
3rd. A large number of old soldiers
were among those who suffered these
heavy losses.
4th. A bill of claims properly pre-
pared and presented to Congress
would not only expose official fraud
and duplicity, but would prevent a ma
tional disgrace, and adjust a long
standing wrong practiced on an inno-
cent people.
With these open and fragrant wrongs
practiced upon Afro-American citizens
so near the National Capital, with as
many lawyers, ex-Congressmen and
ex-Foreign Ministers as we have, we
ought not to be compelled to call in a
single white lawyer. Besides this, we
have brokers, land agents and Com.
miSSionerS.
The BEE will see to it that these
communities are represented as well
as the Government.

EAST WASHINGTON NEWS.

The people in this section were
treated to an excellent lecture on
Christian education by the Rev. H. s.
Dovle, Ph. D., on Friday evening the
10TH.
The lecture was delivered at Lane
Chapel, I4th and c sts., n. e., where
the beautiful, intellectual and the ap-
preciable audience was benefited
through amusement from racial relics
and general information upon the prln-
ciples of great men and good measures
He was as comprehensive as Senator
Sherman and as forcible as Webster;
His lecture was both theoretical and
practical; and its literal illustrations
were parts of the everyday walks OF
life. He said:
"The part which woman plays in our
duplicity was both damaging and
damning; in that she would sooner
have X cent white mans smile in the
dark, than she would to marry a re-
spectacle negro in the light"
We cannot hope to compel white
men to leave our women alone, until
we can get our women to leave them
alone, said he.
Our women can have no excuse for
these racial criminal amalgamatlon
with white men, when they have all OF
his colors among them and a great
many more.
The lecturer here grew enraged with
eloquence and said, show me negro
who will die for her virtues against a
white mans imposition, and she will
find others to die by and for her.
In his further analysis of practical
education, he said, though we have
&c, 1000 in schools who have rubbed their
heads against the college wall, yet
there is real practical education out
side than is even proftably utilized.
The feet. stomach and head are all
elements of education; and yet, be-
cause he is too lazy to walk and think,
Afro-Americans seldom ever use the
feet and brain elements, but the
stomach eternally, because he loves to
eat himself to sleep.
