ff||t flail!! MBBEST CITY Ctgt’IXiTIOM. AUUUSTAjOA-' THURBDAY MORNING June I*. 1«*« MT BEAR IT IN MIND THAT THB DAILY PRESS ADVERTISES MORE CHEAPLY THAN ANY DAILY IN THK OITY. MERCHANTS WHO DKBIRK TO REACH FAMILIES WILL FIND IT A MOST VALUABLE MEDIUM. New*paper* for Colored People. We find the following in the Charles ton Xetcs of a late date : Frees Press Suppressed.—A speoial dispateh to the New York Tribune, dated Augusta, Go., Jane 7th, is as follows: "The military, by order of Qen. Tillson. have takrn possession of the office of the Loyal Georgian." As we bare never enjoyed the pleasure of seeing a single copy of the aforenamed lite rary p-oduotion, we can, of course, not say what was the immediate cause that led to this oatastropbe, but surmiso it must have been its account of the meeting between the fteedmen and Genersls Steedman and Ful lerton, on Sunday afternoon, the 3d inst. While on this subject of colored newspa pers, we will state that we have been in formed that the South Carolina Leader, a colored paper published in this city, has given up the ghost. The officers who took possession of tho office were more oivil than military; that is, if we are not misin formed, for we heard the Sheriff officiated on the occasion.” We are not positively aware of the facts in the case of the Loyal Georgian, but we think that the report ot ita sup pression is incorrect. We should re gret to see any journal suppressed for a free, honest, and candid expression of sentiment on legitimate subjects; but there are occasions when such action may result in great good to the coun try, even if not strictly justifiable. But in such a case the provocation should b j very great, and if the Loyal Geoi gian has been suppressed, or if, as is sometimes done in France, it has been “warned,” the provocation must have been sufficient to warrant the act. In deed, some of its editorials have been of a most injudicious, ill-timed, and in cendiary character—calculated to en gender strife and ill feeling between the white and colored people, and to retard the work of conciliation between the sections. If it has been suppressed, or compelled to change its tone, the community and the country generally will have cause to be thankful—at the same time we regret the necessity which has existed for this course. The officers of the United States Government stationed hero, are, as we have ofteu said before this, gentlemen who know their duty, and who have ■won the respect of the community by the uniform courtesy and spirit of con ciliation which they have observed in 1 their official intercourse with our citi zens ; and we are satisfied that what- j ever steps they have taken in this uffair liave been well considered and prop erly guarded. It shall always be our pleasure, as we shall esteem it a duty, to sustain them when we believe them to be right. While, therefore, we should regret the suppression of a free press; yet, wheh a journal forgets its high and noble mission, ot elevating public seutiment, of inculcating moral principles, and of softening the asperi- j ties engendered by the war, and stoops i to tho low and dirty practice of unjustly j abusing those in authority, of inciting | one class of citizens against another, and ot inculcating a false and unwise policy, we think a little stretch of power, if not strictly justifiable, may be over looked, or even be received with public satisfaction. The great pity is, that in establishing organs for the colored people, the proper persons have not been placed in control of them. We see, now, no objection to such organs ; but they should be con ducted in the right spirit, and should have for their aim and object the eleva tion of the negro. It is useless to.argue the question of negro equality. We of the South know that he can not be socially the equal of the white man, and to attempt to force him into such a position is to do that which can never be accomplished, but which can only lead to trouble and strife. But, while we hold this to be true, we think that much can be done to elevate the charac ter and condition of the negro in fitting him for his new position as a political citizen; and if, papers for tho colored people are established and properly con ducted, we should be pleased to see them flourish. As, bovver, this (so far as our observation goes) is not case, we shall urge no special objection to their suppression; though we should prefer that they should perish, liko the South Carolina Leader, for want of patronage, hecause it would be an evidence that our colored population are sensible enough to distinguish between their real and pretended friendship. We have heretofore told tlijm that the white people of the South are their only real iriends. Some of them have found this out, and cheerfully acknowl edge it; but a few, encouraged by such incendiary sheets *3 the one presided over by Bryaut, are still unwilling to believe this truth. But they will come to its knowledge after a while, and Loyal Georgiant and South Carolina Leaden (so called) will be spurned by every sensible negro, just as they are now by all white people, whose good opinions are worth anything. If they wish to read the new* of the day, und acquaint themselves with tho political issues before the country, let them give their patronage to some of the respectable journals now published, and they will find themselves becoming more elevated in tone and sentiment, better informed as to the condition of political affairs, and in every sense of the word better citizens than the perusal of their present self styled organs can ever make theig). Thk Ruling Passion Strong in Death. —Old Boge was a miserly old fellow, who had accumulated great wealth by life-long penuriousness. But even misers have to die some time, and old Boge was at length called upon to pay that debt which all must pay, and which is paid as easily by the mau who hasn’t got a cent as by the possessor of millions. Old Boge was sick unto death, finding a partial recompense in his sufferings from the reflection that as he could not eat any thing something was being saved. His physician told him that his end was rapidly approaching, and as he felt within himself that he was rapidly approaching his end it was evident to old Boge that he must meet his eud very soon. “How long have I to live ?” asked old Boge, in n faint voice. “Only half an hour," said the physi cian, taking out his watch in a business manner, and added, “is there any one you would like to send for—a clergyman, for instance ?” Old Boge mused in a lethargic way for a moment, then started up as with a sudden thought, raised his feeble hand and felt of his emaciated chin, upon which two weeks growth of grey and stubble beard had grown, then whispered hurriedly—“quick—bring me—a barber.” The barber came with his kit, and old Boge said in a voice that was rapidly growing weaker: “You—charge—ten cents—to—shave —live men?” “Yes. that is our price,” replied the barber. “What—you charge—to shave—dead men ?” “One dollar,” said the barber, won dering what he meant. “Then—shave—me—quick.” said old Boge, nervously eyeing the watch which the doctor held in his hand. Ho was too weak to speak further, but the doc tor interpreted aright the question that was in his eyes. “Fifteen minutes,” replied the doctor. Old Boge made a feeble motion as with a lather brush, and the barber was at his work in a jiffy. He performed his task with neatness and dispatch, and although the sick man had several sinking spells of an alarming nature j yet lie bore up to the end. When the last stroke of the razor was given, old Boge whispered in tones of satisfaction : “That’il do— ninety—cents saved ;” and immediately expired. Thus ends many an o'd “Boge.” 190 BROAD STREET 190 DRY GOODS Oj Every Description, Hoop Skirts. empress; COLORED -f HOOP SKI JITS Dress Goods, In all Material used therefor.
