thence The WRONGS, indignities, and dis
examinations as practiced against as
by the present member of the National
Republican Committeeman from this
State"
They have done great deal and
must do q great deal more.
AID again:
Resolved, that our national COM
mitteemRp deserves the unqualified
condemnation OF every free and
honest Negro Republican in the
State, for setting at defiance the re-
quest OF the last Republican State con .
vention, that Messrs- Childs, Winds
/ and White, De appointed postm asters
at Marion, Greensboro and Uniontown
respectively, and that the filling OF
these places with Democrats or popu-
lists. is a fragrant betrayal OF the trust
and confidence reposed in him by the
highest authoritative body in the par
ty. The ignoring OF this mandate of
the Republican State convention by
our national committeeman. can only
be regarded by the Negro Republicans
as breach of trust, amounting to alb
solute treason, and no amount of ex-
PLANTATION will satisfy them, other than
wero disregarded and disobeyed by
reason Of the personal objection and
antipathy of the National Uommittee-
man to Negro postmasters-"
The following dispatch is explained:
Montgomery, Ala July 24.-John
Bishop, coIored, who was recently
commissioned to be postmaster at
White Oak, Ala, and who promptly
declined the honor, has had the com
mission again offered him., the Off
cial certificate of appointments having
been returned to him. He sent it back
again to-day to the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, declining again to
accept the place. He is an Intelligent.
law-abiding Negro, and knows that
the white people OF the community
would resent his holding the Office"
And here is the explanation:
1.-THE ruse of appointing a Negro Re-
publican TO 6 very Insignificant post Of
fee in the regions of peril and the Jun
giles OF unsaietV, viii not sDpease the
wrath OF colored Republicans capable
OF discernment."
They say further:
Resolved, That the ignoring of col
cred Republicans in the selection OF
census supervisors, is conclusive evi
dence that our National Committee
man is an arch enemy to the promotion
Of colored Republicans of ability, lnud-
able ambition aud aspiration"
But why quote further2 This poll
cy prevails throughout the southland
and especially SO IN Virginia, where a
colored man is as absolutely shut out
from appoints=e offices as though he
Was an Egyptian mummy.
The Negro-hating Republican con-
tingent is in control and colored men
are employed as janitors and under
lings at g salary rarely exceeding the
amounts received from white men, as
janitors in first-class business estab-
lishments.
We are against the politicians who
thus discriminate against US and we
shall be against any aspirant for the
Presidential nomination who is in fav-
or of such policy so radically antago-
nistic to the principles OF Republican
institutions. Those who are against
the Negro, are the ones whom the Ne
gro should be against
This is as plain g. the alphabet and
as large IS barn-door.

prominent general who favored the as
sembly.
Generals Betancourt and Rojas We're
appointed to officially notify the assem-
bly, OF the action that had been taken,
and they at once started to fulfill that
duty. The generals also decided that no
matter what answer the assembly
might make to their resolution they
would accept In behalf of the army the
offering from the United States. the
money to be distributed by Governor
General Brooke. The assembly after re-
ceiving the resolution did not debate it,
but adjourned until Saturday.
