FUNERAL Yesterday
we saw passing through the streets one
of the largest funeral professions ever
witnessed in this city, and we may say
one of the most orderly-that of Byrd
Taylor, very respectable colored man,
and Presiding Elder in the Colored
Methodist Church. He was we'll known
in this community, and was much re-
spected for his good conduct both be-
fore and since the emancipation. He
was buried in that portion of the city
cemetery appropriated to persons of
color, and was followed by a well
dressed and orderly procession of over
500 persons. We were particularly
struck with the neat and decent appear
ance of the colored persons who fol-
lowed him to his funeral resting place.


The former slaves in this community,
as a general rule, are respectful and po-
lite to the whites, and act SO as to cause
their former masters to take deep
interest in the welfare. They have sew
eral schools, and are making progress
in education and the arts of civilized
life, and so far from throwing obstruc-
tions in their way, everything is done
to assist and advance them.-C Charlotte

As the session of Congress approaches, the
Standard grows more venomous. 1t is per-

Sentinel.


The Sentinel is always indulging in per-
sonalities and impeaching motives. The
Editors judge US by a standard they have set
up for themselves. They feel that they are
governed in all they say and do by selfish
motives, and they naturally conclude that
others are like themselves.


The San Salvador mission was disposed of
at the last session of Congress. The nomi-
nee for the place was rejected. We have not
complained of the Senate for rejecting us,
nor do we expect to complain. Neither has
any change taken place in the tone of the
Standard. It is the same unconditional
opponents in this State have changed. Then
they were ready to submit to anything to re-
store the Union; nOD they are stubborn and
defiant, and judging them by what they say
and do, nothing would afford them so much
pleasure as to see the national government
destroyed and its flag trampled under foot


We have no personal controversy with any
one. If we were disposed to impeach mo-
tives or to indulge in personalities, we could
find as much material for comment in our
neighbors as they can possibly find in US. 1t
will be matter of little moment what be-
comes of any one personally if the Union
can be restored and peace and prosperity Sc
cured to the impoverished and suffering
people of the South.

We copy to-day, from the New York Times,
an interesting article in relation to the South
The Times tells the truth as to our condition,
but seems puzzled as to the causes which
have produced this condition. We will tell
that paper in a few words. The old seces-
sion leaders of the South, like the Bourbons,
"never forget, and never learn any thing''-
These leaders have as supreme a con-
troll now as they had before and during the
rebellion. This accounts for our condition.
There will be no improvement until these
leaders are driven from all public positions,
and the power of the South is placed in the
hands of loyal Union men. How can this be
done2 Let Congress ans,oer.

TITLES TO EsTATEs.-If the Southern
States should reject the Howard amend
ment, and if Congress should provide for a
reorganization of the State governments, as
it most probably will, everything thus far
done will, of course, be declared null and
void. The result will be that all pardons
granted by the President will fall to the
ground. The South will be precisely as it
was at the date of the surrender This be-
ing the case, purchasers may well be careful
as to their titles. This uncertainty as to
titles is one of the reasons why Northern cap
italists are at present indisposed to make in
vestments in lands in the Southern States.

A COOP MovE.-A movement is to be
made at last we understand, against the gas
company, or, in other words. to compel the
reduction of price or abandon the use of such
light. For this object, a meeting of consum-

We agree with the Progress that the pres
ent charge for gas is exorbitant. The price
should be reduced otherwise many consum-
ers will abandon its use and resort to
lamps and candles. 1t would have been
good plan if the City had originally estab-
lish ed the gas works and we do not know
but it would be well for the City to do it
now, and thus make its own gas, and furn-
ish it at fair rates to consumers.

cumulate at such brief notice afforded SO
large an army would have been impossible In
all the campaigns in which the country has been

ates, including Jeff. himself, to the Southern

SOCIAL AND POLITICAL.


In our last issue we considered th'


question: What is Social Equality?


If, in defining that question, as we found
it, by the every day practice of the white
man, We gave utterance to language which
might have offended the finer feelings Of
the guilty, we plead in extenuation Of our
conduct, that zoe could not help at-truth
would out. If it has done it's mission by
cUndemning the guilty and generating
the innocent, it has accomplished the
work which we intended it to perform.
Truth, plainly spoken, although it is
given in language not altogether pleasant
to the ear, ought never to produce Of
fence; but to the contrary, it ought to
arouse the mind to proper sense Of the
sin, and endeavor to atone to the best of
its ability for the wrong committed, and
we hope this win be the result of our last
honest and outspoken homethrust.


We shall now consider the other ques
tion under the above head, namely;
what is Political Equality?'


If all mer acted upon the great funda-
mental Law Of equality, by doing unto
others as they would have others dc unto
them, there would be no need, for gov
ernments and law makers, and conse>
quentty we would NOT Know wnaJ po1ItIcs
meant. But the fact that men will net
DO this is the reason that we must govern
and be governed, and that fact gives birth
to thousand and one difficulties and
troubles which otherwise would not exist
if they would all act upon the laws
simple mandates. Somebody, however,
must make laws, and somebody has the
right to say who that privileged some~
body shall be. Now if these laws are to
be Catholic, or universal in their nature
and operations, it would only be just and
reasonable to suppose that all would have
a right to judge and to consent who it
shall be that shall make and administer
those laws, but this is far from being the
case. When we take into consideration,
the number Of those who hare, and those
who haze not that right, we will find that
the latter is vastly in the majority. Now
the question arises, Why is this? There
must be reasons for this, and good ones
also, for it is almost universal in it's work
ing. We presume they are both hume
rous and sufficient, but whether they are |
or not, it would only be wasting words
on our side-to find fault with them,
for they are the some in every well gov,
erned country, apd consequently must be
just and reasonable. Bat it may not be
uninteresting to know who these are which
are thus excluded, and the reasons for
their exclusion, for it may afford us some
definite idea of the justice of the reasons
given for the exclusion of the colored man
