A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

One WOuiu suppose Gh"' A@"Joi
seldom make mistakes, especiall
when they have had months to pre-
pare their speeches.
The great fault with some OF tn
colored lawyers is, they blow no
and cold. Some of them imagin
more than what really exists an
often secretly condemn and de
nounce that which exists in thei
imagination.
The paper of Lawyer Fountain
Payton that was read before th'
Lyceum of the Second Baptis
on last Sabbath afternoon, to which
a large and intelligent audience list
ened with pleasure and admiration.
demonstrated two or three things
1t showed first, that the colored
lawyers are either >tarving to death
or that the colored people don't
care to patronize them.
Secondly. That Lawyer Payton
is without clients or he is jealous OF
those who have, and if he could he
would conine the practice of law
within the circle of lawyers named
by him in his paper.
Thirdly. His condemnation of
the colored people because they en-
ploy white lawyers is a dangerous
precedent to establish, as no dis
elimination is ever made by white
lawyers nor do they ever condemn
or criticise white pepp'e because
they employ colored attorneys and
there are many of them who have
white clients and we have never
heard one word Of disapproval by
such high-toned and gentlemanly
members of the bar as lawyers Sell
ers, Campbell Darlington, Frank
Gloss, Col. w. A. Cook, Shillington,
G. M. Smith, Lipscomb, johnson
and many others who come in close
contact with the colored attorney.
To the contrary many of these gen.
tlemen have been associated with
colored members of the bar in cas- s
with white clients. Have not white
attorneys the same privilege to con-
denim their reople for employing
colored attorneys?
There has been a great deal Of
talk about discrimination and preju.
dice in the courts against the negro
attorney and especially the opp ST.
tion of certain judges to the colored
attorneys.
1t was very surprising to the edi-
tor of this paper, when he heard
Lawyer Payton bestow so much
praise upon tue courts, when he
but a few weeks ago took occasion
to declare that there was prejudice
against negro attorneys by the
courts.
We shall not state all he said, un.
less occasion warrants it.
There il not a practicing attorney
who has not declared that there i,
prejudice in the courts against ne
gro attorneys.
How much of this is true we ar
unable to state.
Is there one negro member of tn,
bar who will state that he has no
declared at any time that there is M
prejudice against him in certain
District Courts ?
The columns of this paper is oper
to any member of the bar to max,
any statement he feels disposed t,
make.
We don'r propose to allow negrt
lawyers t. blow hot and cold ant
then run to the judges and whisper
hypocritical infectives in the ear o.
the judges, to enable them to incur
the courts favor, to the detriment
of others.
If negro lawyers want to succeed
let them be more honest and be
true to themselves. Let them at.
tend to their own business and if
all the colored people want to en-
ploy white lawyers let them do So

ArimOndi's Fate.

From the Daily Messenger
The other day, in Genoa, an officer, not
being saluted as usual by soldier returned
from Africa, stopped and asked him why
he had not salutcd. The soldier opened his
cloak and showed that both his hands were
cut off. The officer kissed the soldier and
asked his pardon, and then gave him sew
eral 10-franc notes. The people who had
gathered round the two also made collec-
ton for the poor fellow, henceforth unable
to earn his bread. Arimondi's fate is now
ascertained. He died, crying: "Baratieri
has betrayed us. He has led us to slaugh-
ter One of the returned prisoners saw
him die end heard his last words. THE
blood flowed from his breast like foun-
tain,' he says But even then, fearing to
fall a prisoner he shot himself in the
throat. De Cormida's body has been dis
covered, says the ''Tribuna," and has been
buried near Marian Scarrita
