THORP HAS AN OPPONENT.
brunswick Negroes Nominate T. l.
Jones (COIOred) for Congress.

LAWRENCEVILLE, VA, August S.-
Special -Thomas l.. Jones, the colored
candidate for Congress from this dis
trict, spoke here last Monday to one OF
the largest audiences that has assembled
in this section for some time. Long be-
fore l o'clock, at which time Ii had been
announced that the speaking would be-
gin, the courthouse yard was thronged
with colored men from all over this
county, who eagerly discussed the situa-
ton.
1t was apparent to every observer who
listened to the group of men scattered
about on the court green that the senti-
ment of the Republicans in the county
was decidedly in favor of the negro can
didate as opposed to r. T. Thorp.
The speaker arrived on the ground
little after l o'clock, and was enthusiast
tically received. The negroes pulled on
their hats and yelled like demons as they
rushed to get glimpse at the young
Republican leader. Jones was introduced
by r. II. Whitteker, ex-member OF the
Virginia Legislature, and began his speech
by a severe arraignment OF Mr..
Thorp for his failure to properly rep
resent the Afro-Americans from this dis
trict. He referred TO his white brother
in rather unpleasant terms, as he pic
tured to the vast audience how tho white
Republicans, with such men to lead them
as Thorp, had appropriated to themselves
ali the offices, giving the negro nothing
and only calling upon him when they
wanted him to vote. This rather pleased
the audience. who swore that the white
men who treated them in That way would
never again get their suffrage.
A MAN OF ABILITY.
Jones is a negro Of more than ordinary
ability and his speech was an able effort
and was freely commented upon by lead
ing Democrats and Republicans as being
one of the best ever delivered by col
ored man in this county.
Atthe conclusion Of his remarks the
following resolutions were adopted unan-
mously:
Whereas, Hon. Thomas L. Jones has
announced himself a candidate for Con-
gress from this district against r. I.
Thorp, the sitting member; and, whereas,
we believe in and have unbounded con-
fdence in the ability and integrity Of
Mr. Jones, and recognizing him in point
of ability the equal of Mr.. Thorp, pos
sessng all of the elements OF statesman
ship, and the characteristics of a fear
less leader and an uncOmprOmising
champion of the interest OF his fellows:
therefore, be il
Resolved That We the Republicans
OF Brunswick county, this day in mass
meeting assembled at Lawrencevile, Va,
do hereby most earnestly and heartily
endorse the Hon. Thomas L. Jones. of
Lunenburg county as our choice TO rep
resent this Fourth) district In the Fifty
sixth Congress Of the United States.
After the adoption or the resolution
three cheers were given for the black
and the whole audience joined
in the song. Before l would be a slave

REFORMS IN THE NAVY.

| A day or two ago we called attention 70
/ the fact that there was going on an
| agitation for reform In tho system oil
advancing naval officers number or so
| many numbers for meritorious conduct
No objection has been advanced to
/ rewarding officers for distinguished and
meritorious service, the system alone peing
under criticism as working injustice IN
several directions to other officers. and
az nulufying on occasions the object
sought to be attained.
Now reform as 10 more serious matter
connected with our navy is being urged.
Recently two admirals and several com
manders OF ships have become Frustrated
by nervous exhaustion. their trouble be-
ing due to the constant and Intense strain
their duties imposed upon them. AS
TO the commanders. the case OF Captain
Clarke affords the best illustration OF
this strain. He brought the Oregon on
its l5.OO0-mile voyage. knowing that he
had an untrled ship in perilous navigation.
with the uncertain dangers Of an enemy's
fleet menacing his path! Then he went at
once into active war service and soon
into battle During all the time he was
in command of the ship he was solely
responsible for It, and 1t is not to be
wondered at that after being strung
mentally and physically TO the highest
tension for four months he suddenly COL
lapsed.
As germane to the discussion OF the
question Of reform, IL Is pointed out that
a case like Captain Clarke's could not
have occurred in the British navy. Under
the regulations of that navy the official
stats Of fleets and ships are stronger
two to one as compared with our navy.
There is on a British ship such as the
Oregon a captain, a staff commander,
and a navigating commander. all of re-
sponsible rank. On the oregon, after the
captain is a leutenant-commande and a
navigating officer, efficient men, but who
are strictly subalterns, and for whose
official acts the captain is nesponsibleAn
every respect and in a degree unknown
10 the British navy. The system that
obtains in the British navy is said to work
admirably. 1t relieves the captain not
only from a great deal of responsibility
but from a great deal Of annoyance
incident to supervising details.
1t would seem. therefore, that while we
have lately taught our British cousins
considerable about the art OF destroying
an enemy's ships. we might learn some
thing from them about the art OF a
nations not killing up its own naval
officers.
