In reply 10 the statement recently made
by the fredericksburg Free Lance 10 the
effect that there was in the First district
a negro postmaster appointed by Con-
gresham Jones. MIR. Jones writes The
Richmond Dispatch as follows:
The circumstances under which the ap-
ncintment was made were these. The
colored applicant who owned the only
building at the place In which the office
could be- located. was endorsed by the
white patrons of the Office and leading
white Democrats Of the county, including
the Democratic county chairman. and f.
was fully understood that the office was
10 be conducted by a one-legged Confcde-
rate veteran. II was done and gave uni
versal satisfaction 10 the Democrats and
10 everybody else. so far as 1 know.
As we said the other day. II the patrons
Of this office are not opposed 70 negro
postmaster it is their own affair and no
outsider has any right 10 object. Local
self government IS good Democratic doc
trine and We heartily believe in g. The
patrons OF the Office are the only people
concerned II they petition for a negro
postmaster they should have one, but II
they protest against the appointment Of
a negro then the administration has no
right TO force a black man upon them
That seems TO US to be the equity OF the
case.

the Legislature met a bill to throttle
trusts was introduced, and in due time
was passed by both branches and signed
by the Governor. But when the law
went into operation it was found. TO the
