As announced previously IN the reg
lister. the Confederate veterans OF the

local camp which will be known as
the Shriver Grays, in honor OF the COM
pany formed in Wheeling at the begin
ming Of the late war, and served valiant
" throughout the four years struggle
in the Confederate service. Quite a
number of the local Confederate vet
Grams have signed the call, and the new
camp will undoubtedly be a success.
There are not about fifteen or sixteen
camps in the State, and it is the pur-
pose to join them all into the general
organization known as the United Con-
federate Veterans. This is a national
organization, and is designed to be an
association of all the bodies Of eX-Con-
federate veterans and sailors through
out the union. Gen. J. B. Gordon is the
general commanding. and General Geo.
Norman is adiutant general and chief
Of staff. The national headquarters are
at New Orleans. According to the adj
dress Of Gen. Gordon. the objects of this
association are to be strictly social, lit
erary. historical and benevolent 1T
will endeavor to unite in a general fed
Grafton all associations of the Confeder-
ate veterans. soldiers and sailors now in
existence or hereafter TO be formed; to
gather authentic data for an impartial
history of the war between the States;
to preserve the relics or mementoes of
the same; to cherish the ties of friend
ship that should exist among the men
who have shared common dangers
common suffering and privations; to
care for the disabled and extend help
ing hand to the needy; to protect the
widow and orphan and to make and
/ preserve the record Of the services of
every member, and as far as possible, OF
those of our comrades who have pre-
ceded us in eternity
After the Wheeling camp and Others
in the State have been formed a State
| association and State officers will be or
eanized. Col White has taken the in
iative in forming division in this State
and his efforts have met with great sue
cess.

EDITOR I. THOMAS FORTUNE takes q
pessimistic view of the present politi-
cal outlook and declares that he does
not believe that the administration
will be forward in its recognition of
colored men, but will be rather dis
posed to move along conservative
lines.
IL this be true, there will be a howl
from Ohio, and few other states we
could mention.
The damage done may be nominal
but the annoyance to the Presidents
will be Of such character as to make
it exceedingly uncomfortable at the
White House.
For our part, we believe that the
colored brother will be substantially
recognized.
We have confidence in the distin-
guished statesman, whom Ohio has
loaned to the nation for President.

TIE BOND OF UNION.

We have often referred to the close
relationship existing between the bet
ter class of white men Of the south
and the colored people.
1t is bond of union which few real
ize and less understand. 1t caused
our people to shield the "marsterp
and "missus" even when the Yankees
came, and dispute their steadfast adj
herence to the Republican principles
to cause them to love and honor those
who had been kind and good to them.
This feeling was and is reciprocated
The white child loved its black NAM
my and that affection extended to man
and womanhood.
We have before US letter from one
of the ablest and best white gentlemen
in this community, and it illustrate:
the points under discussion. He, saws
''No city in this union can boast of I
more orderly and intelligent set o
cOlored people than Richmond, Va
Outside of my immediate family m,
old black nanny comes next end al
though now living in Washington. ID
O / make her an annual visit and tax
to her a purse.
May God spare her noble life 70
years to come"
And these words are re-echoed b
thousands of the best white people {
the South, the flower of our believe
section and comprising the chivalry ,
the fair land in which we live.
This is a demonstration OF I'll
strength of the bond Of union. May
increase until together we shall we
come the dawn of brighter day, tt
advent of prosperity long delayed, bt
which we trust has come at last.

MR.. WARNINGS EXPLANATION

E. j. WARING, Esq. the president
and cashier of the defunct Lexington
Savings Bank at Baltimore after a
flight of several weeks has returned
to that city and given himself up to
the authorities.
He has been admitted to bail His
admissions. that he went to Canada is
the most damaging part of the entire
statement which was published in the
Baltimore Afro-American.
Mr.. WARING plays the "baby act"
and one looks in vain for those eie-
ments ofman-hood and business inte-
gritty, which brings respect at ali times
to the possessor.
Throughout it all. Mr.. WARMa en-
deayors to soften the feeling against
him on the part of mis- ruined deposit
tors Dy alleging that he will pay. With
what pray? He is bankrupt morally,
physically and financially. Never
again will he be trusted in the "Monu-
mental city" and life is too short for
him to live down the displeasure which
he has incurred.
Moreover, the statements of the
book keeper of the defunct concern,
whom he vainly endeavors to cripple,
by charges which sustained would
tend to elevate rather than injure in
the minds of all right thinking people
Mr.. WARING is not in a position to
blame anybody but himself Discre
ton and the advice of his fri -ndl
should have taught him that he should
have at least been as charitable to hi
associates as he desired his associate
to be to him.
His ignominious fight and especial
to Canada savors strongly of criminal
ity. We regretted to learn of his mis-
fortunes. Young, brilliant, pleasing
able, we.regarded him as the hope {
Maryland, so far as the colored peopl
e there are concerned.
I His ascent was gradual, but sur,
: his downfall is sudden and bewilde
8 ing.
u His explanations have not helpe
his case. Silence would have aide,
where talk has injured him irrepar,
bly,, we fear in the minds of all impai
tial persons.

THE BISHOPS DISAGREE,

Much comment has been caused by
the utterances of Bishop II. NJ. TURN
Err OF Georgia as published in his jour
nal the Voice of Missions, advising col
ored men in the sparsely settled reg
ions OF the southland to secure fire.
arms and use them against lswless
mobs.
Bishop W. J. GAINES of the same
church "a. M E } finds it necessary
to take issue with the distinguished
divine, and urges conservatism. claim
ing that such advice il followed would
lead to dire aesults.
We believe that both of these gen.
tlemen are conscientious in their con-
illusions. Bishop GAINES by his argu-
ment in presuming that such course
on our part would lead TO q race con-
flict libels the white people by pre-
Stunning that all of them would rally to
the support of the lynchers, who are
nothing more or less than anarchists
We dc not believe they would. We
read the editorial of Bishop TUNER.
and no where in it did we see where
he invited our people to war of races.
1t is a question of individual self-de-
Tense, a right which is as inherent as
it is God-given.
The advice which Bishop TUENER has
given is the same that the white men
of the South have followed Lynchers
are towards. They prey upon the de-
fenseless. The time must come when
every1onely cabin must bristle with
firearms even as the houses in this
country today glisten with lightning
rods.
Not for the purpose of lawless acts,
not for the purpose OF robbery or GRIM
inality in any form but as means OF
self-defense.
We do not advocate the carrying OF
concealed weapons. These means OF
defense should bs in the homes. and
the Afro-American should go no furth-
er in this matter than the white peo-
pie of the country have already gone.
When the death scream OF the lynch
ers is heard reverberating through the
midnight air, carrying terror and dis
may to his lawless associates, appeals
to the President of the United States
Congress, Governors. legislatures and
citizens will be unnecessary.
The cure will have been effective
and peace will reign in the land.
We do not believe that any consider
able shedding of blood will be neces.
sary to bring about this result. When
the mobs know what to expect, they
Will not trifie with their own lives in
order to take that of a human being.
What we say concerning white
lynchers and mobs is applicable to
white ones. We should back a white
man defending his home against a
black mob as quickly as we would de-
fend colored man in protecting his
home against a colored one.
Law and not anarchy is what is
wanted.
Self-defense and not retaliation is
what is wanted, The premises we
have laid down are reasonable and no
man with a spark of independence, or
atom of manhood could condemn po-
sition so impregnable from every
standpoint of reason and every princi-
pie of right.
Let Bishop TURNER possess his soul
in patience and stand upon the plat
form he so boldly occupies.
