The eitizcus of Atlanta, with their noted hospitality, not only provided gratuitous accommodations L>r members of the Asnociation in the most refined homes of their city but. also determined to give a banquet at which the higher elements ot social intercourse might find enjoyment, and the inner man offered that satisfaction which cornea from partaking of choicest viands* < I rants Hall, corner Broad and Mariet ta streets, one of the best in Atlanta, was procured by the citizens committee which composed of 50 ot Atlanta’s leading men. Handsome invitations were extended to 325 guests among whom were every member of the Asso ciation and other distinguished visitors. Th# committee had two long tables extending nearly the whole length of the hall and accommodated about. 200 versons. The tables were twice filled, and when all had been served there was enough and to spare ot the delica cies that heavily laded them. Rev. Wm. Finch was master of ceremonies, end well did he act hie part. Major Easley wag toast master, discharged this duty like a veteran. Not a drop of wine or other drink, save water and lemonade was allowed. {‘Atlanta and !•«r hospitalities,” was responded to in a spe oh by Prof. M. .1. Maddox, who, by the Way eeme lute in his happiest style “Our guests,’’ was rc*ponded to by Dr. W J. I raine*, who never speaks with >ut making a good speech. Prof, K. J. Johnson, always short as well as good responded hapily and tersely to the toast, !(fur public school system ” Prof. R R.

Sat urday morning early, the members of the As'Ociation with many Atlantians went up the W. & A, R. R., to a pic nic, and returned, met and finally ad journed at 6:30 p. m. If Grady wants to be nominated for Vice President he would do well to preserve a golden silence and simply point to that maiden speech. If he goes to talking and writing letters nine to one he will put his foot through the dashboard or break the breeching.—lnter Ocean. The next campaign will be a straightout fight on thetariff, and in it there will be and can be but two parties, the Republican Party, which stands for protection, and the Democratic, for free trade. But Adhere Mr. Cleveland and his new friends hold one Mugwump in this fight they will lose ten workingmen who want good pay and steady work from a high tariff.— Philadel phia Piess* The Herald has already pointed out that, the new law is sufficiently broad in its term to prohibit unjust discrimination agiinst colored pas sengers traveling across State lines. Stu h passengers are entitled to lide in first class cars on paymentfof first class birr s. When this privilege is denied to any colored person on ac count of his color a case arises for complaint to the interstate Com merce Commission, or an action for the penalties against the offending company.—N. Y. Herald. The Worn »n‘* Temperance Union ofGrittgi" has been in session in this city during the week. The following «• x ract is taken from the addrci-s of tne President, Mrs. W. C. Siblex: The colored people, too, are a mighty agent tor good or evil; for with in fluence as c tizeus, and an important factor in the affairs of government, they can be diieet' d with great good or id to the temperance cause, and it is a duty We.owe to ourselves as well as to tin in, to use them as agents tor right it.g tiie wiougs ot the country and bring ing ab ail ihe great reformation. To the great creoit of the colored people ot Georgia, be it said, they have done a izreat work tor t. inperance in helping to redeem their State from the liquor eursc. The many friends of Mr. M. U. Clark will regret to learn of his /death on Sunday last. Mr. Clark it is stated left Forsyth in a baggy to visit Logtoivn, tn Upturn county. On his return home m the evening just before the setting ot the sun, near Strouds, the horse, suiting down a long i.il] began to run. amt on reaching a turn in the road at the foot of the hill, Ciaik wa» thrown trim the buggy against a rock by the roadside, liacturii.g his skull, trom the effects of which he died in about ten minutes.

X TA LWA R T IX. MUG WUMI'. Savaxxah, Ga.. May 12, 1887. Editor Tribune ; The impression made upon the many reader* of your valuable jour nal' by y»nr timely comment-in no unmist)ikftl)le language of certain alleged utterances, which the Morn ing News of tais city H’tribute* to Bishop H. .M Turner, “hits the nail on the head.’’ We agree fully with yon in your editorial, that the Bish op I® ant in of “g eat originality,*' and we will further add—brilliant thought and foresight, but we are at a loss (knowing the man we do) to come to the conclusion that the big daily has qn ted him right. There c*n be no po-s : ble doubt upon the inindti of any ne u g to which party the Negro owe their allegiance, and that they are fully aware, that Mr, Cleveland and his party have done nothing for their race “that their friendship for him should he substantially manifested in 1888,” but on the contrary, in every State where that party is do minant, they are still being de prived of their civil and political rights, privileges that are necessa ry to elevate him in the eyes of a civilised world, »s a full fledged man and citizen. We have heard of late too much of just such errat'c utterances charged to some of our most trusted leaders, both politi cians and divines, which we are loth to believe, but if we must be lieve them to be their sayings, we beg to say to these political proph ets, that they are oft'this time in their prognostications, so far as the future political course ot the Negro is concerned- The colored men ot Georgia (and so does Bishop Turner who have been one of their most trusted lead ersin the past) know as you have truthfu'lv said: “because they have been deceived by a few white Re publican, mushroom leaders, it does not follow* that they must desert the great party of freedom and equal rights.” We nre aware of the many croakers amongst us who for the pitiable “mess of pottage” would tear their people from the party that struck the shackles from their limbs, but they will fall fat short of their mark, for the Negro as a whole is ns true to the grand "Id party as fl e needle is to the pole, and to verity our statements let Mr- Cleveland g>vc rite Negro of the South a “fair square vote, and an honest count,” and he will see for himself how the Negro’s “friendship in IKBB will be mani fested ” Your® d-c., \ St alwabt.
