ELOQUENT PREACHER.
Now Preaching in MOOdy's
American Pulpit

Rev. F. b, Meyer, pastor Of Christ's
church, London, whose writings on
religious subjects are well known
and popular in America. is now pay
ing long promised visit to the Unit
ed States. His wife and Mr. Murcell,
who Will act as his secretary and as
sistant. are with him.
Mr.. Meyer went from New York di-
rect to Mortified. Mass, where he
viii conduct devotional services and
also preach d course of sermons at
MOOdy's auditorium for a month
On completing his work in Amer
lea, Mr.. Meyer viii go to Norway.
Sweden, Finland and the West in
dies on devotional mission. The in
vitation 10 visit those countries has
been OF long standing, but he means
10 make up for lost time. He hopes
10 get back to London by next April.
Mr.. Meyer is noted as a hard work
er. During one fortnight, in pre-
pairing Tor his journey To America
and other places, he has not gone To
bed before five in the morning and
he has been about again between six
and seven a. m. lie breakfasts at
eight, works again until luncheon,
has an hour or two's nap in the after
noon, dimes at seven and works up
to midnight all the year round.
On his journeys across the Atlantic
he works even harder than when
within the seclusiOn OF his own study,
because he finds that the bracing sea
air assists him in putting more yigor
into his work. Mrs. Meyer says:
The pen to my husband is like the
brush to the painter. Away from his
devotional duties it acts like a mag
net on him and he really seems to
tind IN it his only recreation"
Mr.. Meyer is one Of the llindest
and most accessible Of men. No one
has ever approached him on any rea-
sOnable subject without obtaining an
interview. and in this way he often
incuFs the displeasure of his domestic
circle by leaving table in the middle

underlying the Civil War being that
of freedom and justice to all an
kind and.the results having been
the enfranchlsement of the cOlored
people and their investment with
the habilaments of citizenship, it
follows that the writer is not
only not a eomrade Of the rank and
file of the Grand Army, butts more
of a traitor, negro -hater aud ira
ducer, than a loyal patriot and fair
minded man.
Again we deny that Corp. Tan
ner or Gen. DyTenfOrth protested
against the appointment of eolored
men in the Departments. 1t may
be that these gentleman insisted
that where colOrsd men were to he
appointed those belonging to the
Grand Army should have the pref
erenre; but that a protest was
made against she appointment of
colOred men simply on account of
color, is an insult to the Grand
Army which these gentlemen rep
resent and a reflection upon their
records as Republicans true and
tried.
Lastly, this Daniel, has discoy-
cred the secret trap-door which let
Harrison down. 1t was because
when the Grand Army assembled
here, a few colored laborers and mes
sengers were seen in the corridors
of the Departments. Holy smoke!
But why continue? This man eyi-
dently has "wheels." He is look
ing through a glass darkly and has
color-phobia. We enter a general
denial to everything he has said and
have more specifically denied some
of tue more a5toundingly ridiculous
and venOmous statements. We
stop here. The Grand Army, in
the main is composed of upright,
loyal firm friends of freedom and
justice aud the living expressions
of all that is great aud glorious in
this country. The Grand Army is
the friend and not the enemy of the
colore people for whose freedom
many lost limb and fortune. The
Army fought that the negro might
have a living chance and are proud
Of his present condition and anx-
ious to see his opportunities enlarg-

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
He Has Wheels.

In last Mondays Issue of the
Post Of this city, one John n.
Thompson by the name assayed to
give the Republican and Democrat
lc parties a lecture upon the sub
Ject Of employing eolored people 10
the Executive Departments. The
address of this wise acre seems to
be Beatrice, Colorado and he speaks
Tor the people Of his section and in
Iaet all sections where the Grand
army has any respectable represen-
tatlon. The article referred to,
VIII be found in another column of
this issue and will furnish fl cd for
thought and material for the use Of
the Democratic Campaign Com
mlttee, IN whose behOof, we an-
prehend the stuff was written. Or
dinarily, We could not afford to no
tice such bog-wash for the simple
reason that in ourjudgement and in
view OF well known facts the state
ments are, to say the least, iuggled
and in the main untrue. But as the
reason assign by the writer for his
advice was that of the coming of
the Grand Army, which he grossly
mlssrepresent, we have taken the
trouble to notice it for a similar
reason.
Thompson complains that young
strong negroes" are lOafng about
the corridors of the Departments
and paid for the same by Uncle
sam; that Democrats and Republi-
cans alike are guilty of a "eon-
tempasle act" when ever they ap-
point colored man or woman in
the Departments; that the co!ored
employees should be discharged or
hidden before his comrades fill the
city. Complainant further states
that Il am a Republican" and II
am not a negrO-hater:." has dis
covered the cause of Harrison's de-
feat in the fact that there are a few
eolored labOrers and messengers in
the Departments and that facts was
rebuked at the last meeting of the
q. A. R. in this city; that "such
as Corp. Tanner and Gen Dyren-
forth have protested against giving
negroes such employment" ana
closes his bOsh by the following:-
"as Grand Army man | will warn
our party against this evil and woe
be unto.us if my warming is not
Needed" Now to make short of
the matter We might reply first,
that the wri'er is not Republican
as he claims he is. He may have
voted the Repu blican ticket once
in his lifetime; but certainly it
could not have been on principle:
for the essential and distinguishing
feature of rrpUbIicanism is the
doctrine of the full and free en-
joYment of liberty and the fruits of
toll by all citizens, without regard
to race, color or previous condition
of servitude The writer disOwns
this doctrine and is hence only
prerender.
In the next place the writer is
negrO-hater. in that he advises the
discharge of colored employees sim
ply because they are cplorei. The
most black-hearted enemy could
not desere to see greatermisfortune
Oefail one than the loss of the
means by which he is enabled to
support his wife and children.
In the mex place the rank and
fi'e of the Grand Army are not the
writer's ''comrades,' as he claims
they are. Comradeship compre
hends something more than the
mere art of carrying u gun or ma
nipulating a cutlass L. presumes

prompted enlistment in the cause
and a pride in the legitimate re-
suits Of the same. The sentiment
