THE SOUTH AROUSED.

Judging from the manner in
which the Southern Odd Fellows
are supporting Messrs. Howe and
Knox, it will not be long before
their opposers are put out of busi-
ness. AT a meeting of over four
hundred lodges that met in Selma,
Ala, a few weeks ago,and the many
recruits that have left the Johnson
Houston faction, the opposition has
been cut down to about fifty lodges.
The report shows that the very best
element has joined the Howe
Knox combination, which is over
four-ffths of the Odd Fellows in
Alabama. 1t is believed that every
honest Odd Fellow in this city IA
vors the removal of the headquar-
sers.

HIGHWAYMEN.

There has been a great deal OF
crime committed among what is
known as the lower element of col
ored men,, or the criminal class.
The police authorities are aware
nat the good citizens among the
eolored people don't sympathize
with these assailants, and are ready
20 aid the authorities to bring the
guilty parties to justice. The Po-
lice department is doing its duty,
and many of the colored officers are
to be commended for what they
have done in apprehending the gull
~ parties.
Officers Peterson, Owens and
Johnson have made some very i'm
portant arrests, and The Bee hopes
to see the day when the Chief of
Police will reward these men for
good work.
The city is full of highwaymen,
and crime seems to be on the in
crease. The Bee would suggest 70
Major Sylvester to detail or ap-
point one or two colored officers as
precinct detectives. 1t will afford
a better opportunity to apprehend
white and colored criminals.
Any one or two of these coloreC
officers would fill the bill, and the
Chief of Police would readily SEE
practical results.
The highwaymen should go.

Let il be said to the credit of Public
PrinterStillings that he has never shown
any differences on account Of the color

alleged that the recent order compell-
ing the use Of the "Mr., Mrs" and
Miss" grew very largely out Of the fact
that some of the low-browed undeT-boss-
es had a disgusting habit OF calling the
Negro teamsters and laborers John, p"
etc, and ofttimes applying to them cpl
thets that would have no place in the
Sunday school room. 1t is further said
that some OF he foremen Of the fold
ing-rooms insisted upon speaking to the
colored women as Mary" etc, refusing
the polite designation of Mrs" or of
Miss" When Mr.. Sullings' attention
was called to these humiliating practices
his wholesome order was issued compel
