! and who now refuse to discriminate
against the admission of colored stu
dents, because to do so would make
it unlawful for them to participate
II the benefits of the Morrill, Acts.
In addition to the above mentioned
wells, the Boutell Amendment. if it
passes, will result, eventually, in tax
ing from our people all of the bene-
fits they now receive under the Nor
rill Acts.
While the Boutell bill Processes to
amend the Morrill, Acts only for the
benefit of the District of Columbia, it
is dangerous precedent, for if the
Congress will agree to disregard the
plain provisions of the law and dis
criminate against the colored people
in the District of Columbia, there IS
nothing to prevent that body from
doing the same thing at the request
of any of the thirty-hYe white in
stitutions now admitting colored stu
dents; and if the benefits of the Nor
riIl Acts can be taken from the col
ored people in the District of Colum-
bia in open violation of the law, why
may not the same thing be done in
any other State or Territory in the
United States?
1t is the duty of our people, every
where, to resist this encroachment
upon their rights at the very begin
ming, for when once the precedent
has been established for the discrim-
ination by Congress against colored
citizens because of race and color,
this work will go on until every right
guaranteed the race under the Con-
stitution has been taken from it.
The time has come for every col
ored person in the United States and
for every church, society and news
paper among us to protest against the
passage of the Boutell Amendment,
and to do so at once. This iniquious
measure will not pass Congress if
the voters of the race in the North,
East and West will write their Con-
gressmen and Senators Immediately
asking them to vote against the Bou-
tell bill (known as Bill H. r. 243I6
of the Second Session of the Sixty
first Congress) or against any other
bill which seeks to extend to the
George Washington University the
entire benefits under the MorrillActs
which may come to the District of
Columbia.
We suggest that each reader of
this paper copy and send at once the J
protest to his Congressman
and Senator:

Henry L. Johnson of Atlanta, Ga,
Monday morning subscribed to the
oath of office as recorder of deeds of
the District of Columbia before the
clerk of the District Supreme Court
and at once assumed his new duties,
succeeding John c. Dancy of North
Carolina, whose resignation as re-
corder took effect yesterday.
On returning to his Office Recorder
Johnson and the retiring recorder
found there a committee consisting
Of the Rev. DR.. Corrothers, pastor of
Galbraith A NJ. z. Zion Church of
this city and Francis Wells, A. w.
Gray, ]. M. H. Young and J. H. Tay-
lor of that church, who had been ap-
pointed to present Mr.. Dancy with a
silver pitcher, stand and goblet as
a token of the respect and regard of
the church. Mr.. Wells read a series
of resolutions which had been adopt
ed by the church, =eciting that
Ex-Reecorder Dancy "has held the
position of general officer in SAID
church for twenty-five years; in pub
lie affairs for twenty-five years, and
has held federal appointments six
teen years, which represents a long
er national official career than any
other Negro in the country" and ex-
tending to him "the assurance of our
high personal esteem, the best wishes
of the church and hope for him a sue
cessful future"
Expression of Thanks
Rev. w. A. Ray made the presen-
tation speech, Rev. c. c. Alleyne and
DR.. Corrothers also speaking, all re-
ferring in complimentary terms to
Mr.. Dancy's conduct of his Office, and
to his work in the church. Mr.. Dan

citation of the gift of his fellow
churchmen, and assuring them that
1t would be given the place of honor
in his home.
Mr.. Dancy then introduced the
new recorder to the members of the
office force, commencing the latter
IN high terms, and declaring that he
believed their work compared favor
ably with that of like offices else
where, and that it was second to none
under the government for efficiency
and accuracy. He paid Deputy Re-
corder Dutton the compliment of say
ing that the advancement of the of
hce and its work were due in the
largest degree to Mr.. Dutton's eff
forts and executive ability.
Recorder Johnson, in reply, said
that he would make every effort to
maintain the high efficiency of the
Office, and that the Office would be
conducted so long as he remained its

Why the Note Was Not Readjusted

We will quote Collier: Shortly
after this (the making of the note)
there was schooner called the Alice,
brought to Hickman and Hanson's
shipyard for repairs. According to
the testimony, Ballinger representing
Hickman and Hanson as their attOr-
ney, and as a kind of legal adviser for
all parties, (Collier here acknowledges
that Hickman knew that r. A, Bal
Iinger was a legal adviser for all
partiesO and a representative of the
bank, and one from the other credi-
tors, met and agreed that the work on
the Alice should be done by the firm
of Hickman and Hanson, under the
observation of the underwriters and
the local board of government inspec-
tors. This all in accordance with
good judgment and fair dealing"

Who Sounded the First Note of
DiScord?

Hickman. Golfers much-abused
protege. We again quote Collier: "As
the work progressed and was approx
ed by the inspectors, Hickman and
Hanson were to draw upon the Scan
dinaVian-American Bank for their pay.
They did draw, and their checks were
hOnored to the extent of 10000, the
amount of the work" When the work
was finished and Hickman and Han
son had $6,oI7.o2 of the banks money
in their pocket, Hickman refused to
sign a release in favor of the bank,
although it had paid him the money,
for the reason, as Collier says, He
(HeCkman) thought it (the release)
peculiarly wOrded." Had Hickman
forgotten that he received the bank s
money? What possible excuse could
any honest man offer for not releas-
ing his right of lien on this schooner
to the bank under the circumstances?
Did Hickman want the banks money
and the schooner too? But the thing
that concerns us most is the fact that
Hickman has imposed upon Collier.
Golfers big heart has been affected,
obscuring his usually keen discern
ment of crooked dealings.

How the following truth happened to

reader to learn that during all these
