They Issue Public Challenge to
Republican Orators for q De-
bate on Party Questions.
The colored Democrats are coming to
the front, and seem ready to voucb for
the courage of their convictions, to Judge
from the sublolned communications:
SAN Francisco, CAL, July %. 1895.
Editor of The CdIl-SIR: The Republican daily
press of this City have devoted much space Of
late to the theatricals of the local colored Re-
publican clubs of the City, Ahe presumed
intention being to create an impression
that the coiored men of this State
are not alive to the issues of the day
rest of the Nation; but that on the contrary
they are st1ll willing to be led to the music of
the demagogues of the Republican party, who
alone profit by the fealty of the colored vote
Believing that such an impressio should
not be allowed 10 pass unnoticed, and on be-
half OF large body of young and independent
we hereby publicly challenge the Republicans
OF this City to produce two men 1--WE draw no
color hne) who will meet us in joint debate
their relation TO the interests of the colored
men OF the country, the debate to take
place at Metropolitan Temple at an
the State central committees of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties, the representa-
tlves of the side losing the debate to defray
the expense of the meeting Respectfully,
CORNELIUS A. HUGHES,
President Ticonderoga Club.
GEORGE w. DENNIS Jr.,
Ex-Member Democratic State Committee.
If this challenge be accepted a lively
and most interesting debate may be looked
for. Mr.. Dennis has made special
study of the subject of free coinage, while
Mr.. Hughes is an eloquent and powerful
advocate of a low tariff. These we'll
known colored orators will endeavor to
show the voters of their race that the
Democratic platform is safest and strong
est to stand upon. The outcome of the
challenge is looked for with much interest.

Peculiar Phase of California LGtr De-
ueIoped in the Smith Case.

ueIoped tn the Smith Case.
SAN BERNARDIN0. CAL, July 23.-A
peculiar phase of California law was de-
veloped in the courts here to-day. Arm
stead Smith was arrested IN May last for
threatening an assault on w. Mcguire.
He was committed to Jail in default of
$1,000 bond, and to-day il was developed
under habeas corpus proceedings that.
being unable to give the bond, Smith was
liable to remain in the Jail during the
term of his natural life. The California
code provides that Justice of the Peace
may fix the bond at any sum not exceed
ing 5000 for threatened assault, and
under the law there is no way of getting
the defendant out of jail.
IT was during the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings that this point was brought up
and the defendant released. II is held by
attorneys that sections 701 to TIA of the
code are clearly unconstitutional.

The Southern lumbermen, of
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Ala
bama, Georgia, Missouri and Loui-
siana met in Memphis on the 18th
II the present month and discussed
raising prices on lumber. The trade
is very dull with them and the pric-
es down, and they think a boom in
trade could be started if prices
were raised. This might have the
desired effect, but we thought that
booms were started by prices going
down and not up.
