tThe Democratic majority in the

An Earnest Preacher.
| The Times, June 5th,I

Rev. John Jasper ia one of the most
interesting o. our natit nal eharacter
Time and again has his famous SER
mon on The Sun Do Move" been print
ed in the newspapers, yet whenever
the old preacher talks on that subject
he is sure OF an interested audisaee
everywhere. In connection with the
recent eclipse The FINES printed an
interview with Brother Jasper, The
old preacher said little ABOUT the
eclipse, but he reiterated his views
concerning the motion OF the sun, and
there was little in the interview that
had not been printed time2and again.
Yet that interview was rep rduced by
many newspapers and sor,s1 of them
made 1t the occasion for a. editorial
article on the subject. The Atlanta
Constitution reproduces in iss editorial
column part OF the interview, with
the follow 'ng comment:

homeless elements OF our colored pop-
ulstion. They were interfering with
the thrifty, money saving, property
owning classes of our citiz sns of color.
When they did this, they aroused the
most conservative colored men iu the
city. men who have the respect and
esteem of the better class of the W hite
population.
This is why there ia such q general
sentiment among The white people
that this system OF political robbery
has been carried toe far. When naen
like Rev. JAMES II. HOLMES. ID. D.,
pastor of the First Baptist Church ;
Mr.. GEORGE W. BOYD, Contractor and
Builder; Mr.. e. T, HILL. Cashier of
the True Reformers' Savings Bank

ron Baptist Church Ar. M. B. JONES,
Mr.. II. j. moons, Mr.. A. HAYES. Mr..
BENJAMIN Jackson, Mr.. JoHx r.
CHILRs and others enter their protest,
the outrageous character OF the rob-
berry becomes at once apparent. This
is why we emphasis the fact that
q mistake has been made. All of the
candidates for eouncilmsnic honors
are property owners and Taxpayers.
They are entitled to respect and
should De given justice.
We have not ss yet met q man,
white or black, who has disputed the
fact Of their election.
The ignorant elements did not vote,
but the intelligent citizens expressed
q preference. The element which
elected these candidates are not to be
disiranchised by q constitutional con-
vention for it repre- sents that class OF
our population which is conceded to
be entitled to the right of franchise.
Being satisfied that our cause is lust,
we have made our plea to the courts,
and Hon. WILLIAM L. ROYAL has not
been slow to state it plainly snd TO ir-
vite the better element of the white
people Of the city 90 sustain him in ad.

LIZ is indeed gratifying to know that
all OF our friends are not dead and
that among the patriotic Irish Roman
Catholics, We have some who have no,
lost faith in cur ability to rise above
our exsspersting surroundings.
These thoughts were caused by q
ringing article which appeared in the
BosToE PILOT of the 10th ult. In speak
ing of the recent Montgomery Race
Conference it says:
THAT John Temple Graves, of Gsor.
gis, should advocate st the recent
Race Conference IN Montgomery.
Ala. the expstriation as far as possi.
Die, of his colored fellow. citizens, and
the reduction TO quasi slavery OF those
who cannot be expatriatsd, is not
strange. he claims long 'Anglo-Ssx.
on descent, and proves his claim hy
his Pharisaical attitude to the race
which he and his kind dominate by
force nd fraud.
race which itself has suffered in the
memories OF men not vet old the in
dignity OF social, political and relip-
ious prescription, should 90 to the
same conference, not to defend the
threatened rights of the unfortunate
Negroes, but TO drive. so TO speak, the
last nail in their politicsl cofiiu, by
Lending his splendid eloquence to the
cause OF their opPressors, is o thing to
rouse TO wrath every man of Irish
bloc and Catholic faith and true
American spirit in the land.
Not OF such traitors TO freedom were

How can son of that Church

vinest power in its gift in the black
skin OF the Negro, lift up his voice for

For the matter is bus skin deem. af-
ter all. With Bourke Cochran, the
Irish immigrant, and Temple Graves,
the Southern Anglo American, the
color of the Negro is his crime.
1t is crime, too, for which, rot
the sacrifice of the noblest white
olooo IN une land, nor his own most
strenuous effort, and highest intellec.

1t concludes it's ringing editorial as
follows:
''In the face of the Astounding mn.

Archbishop Ireland often noted. il ia

will Mr.. Cochran tell us, since he
would throw the Negroes back after

ment, on the Legislatures of their sew
erAl States for political justice, what
chance they would have of it in Geor.
gis?
what q satire is Bourke CockrAn's
attitude to the Negro on his American
citizenship, his Irish blood, his Cath

But why comment further? We
have friends OF truth and justice, and
all such are our friends. We need not
be discouraged.
