By persistent agitation and un-
| tiring efforts, the leading colored
?|citizeDßof this city, supplementing
Fthe bold fight of the Leader, have
i paved the way for the ultimate en
joyment of equal accommodation
, for eqaal tare on all public carriers
j<D this State. Hereafter, when a
J colored person rides in a first-class
coach with ease and comfort un
molested by railroad roughs and
1 hirelings, let him remember that
< the change has been brought about
through agjtation and through the
| efforts of the Southern Leader.
* * *
iThe movement is grounded on the
great principles of justice and fair
play, and success is already partly
achieved.
We must remind our people that
they must conduct themselves and
make such an appearance as will
j command respect when they navel.
I Untidiness or rough conduct on the
, | part of a passenger, white or col
lared, is objectionable, and should
i|be avoided. Genteel colored pas-
Lsengors don’t want to miugle with
and disorderly whites,
£j|k' th er do genteel whites like to
mingle with disorderly or untidy
colored people. Don’t lose sight of
this fact. If your conduct and ap
pearance are genteel, nobody has a
reasonable right to object to your
riding in a first-class coach.
Railroad and steamboat corpora
tions and managers are beginning
to appreciate the great injustice
committed on colored passengers,
and they show a disposition to cor
rect the wrongs wo have suffered,
and to give us decent accommoda
tions hereafter when we travel cn
cars or on steamboats.—Southern
Leader
The Union of pastors as now or
ganized in Jacksonville and the
Leader have done some good work
in bringing to pass better privileges
and accommodations on public con
veyances for the race in Florida. —
Flotida Sentinel.
The Queen of the Hawaiian
Islands wh<» is on a visit to this
country has been the object of much
attention from the Government and
dignitaries at Washington. A few
days ago a government steamer
was placed at tier disposal for a vis
it to Mount Vernon, and because
the commanding officer received
her with the most respectful hom
age, the Ailanta Constitution
writhes and twists itself in pitiful
agony and for no other reason than
that the Queen happens to have a
daik complexion.
Because a colored queen is treat
ed r< spectfully and is called a
beautiful woman by one of our
government officers, this great jour
nal of the “New South” goes out ot
the way to make ugly flings prejudi
cial to the colored race. The Con
stitution objects to colored ladies
being treated as such. Chivalrous
Georgians have been in the habit
of treating colored women as wives
from time immemorial, and it is
hard to understand why any ol
them should speak c mlemptiously
of ladies became of their color.
Following is the speech said to
have been made by Lieut. Cowles
on board the vessel which has so
annoyed our Atlanta Contempora
ry:
“I ask your gracious majesty’s per
mission to speak. [The queen bowed
her head.] His excellency, the Secre
tary of the navy, begs that your majes
ty will accept his respectful homage,
and begs that your majesty will accept
of this vessel to convey you to Mount
Vernon, the resting place of the illus
trious founder of this country The
Secretary is always glad to render any
service to a beautiful woman and is
doubly plea-ed to day in the fact that
that beautiful woman is your graciou
majesty, the wi>e ruler of a nation near
and friendly to the United States."
The South must construct its new
building on the foundation of jus
tice. No class of its citizens must
be subjected to undue prejudice for
the elevation of another. Our laws
and business transactions under
them should know no race nor
color. It does not matter what
men may say, and how sections are
boomed, prosperity will not stay
long where injustice rules.— [Nor

B Derrick tendered a compliment
ary reception and banquet to Hon.
HOC Ast wood, U. S. Consul at
San Domingo, at theS'evens House
New York, on Mav 6 which f-om
the report in the New York Free
man was a grand affair. Speeches
were made by Mr. Astwood,
Lawyer T McCants Stewart. Hon.
J M Langston, Gen’l Horatio’King,
Mr. Fortuno and others.
Every lady will be interested in
the June Number of Demorest g
Monthly, as it is an exceedingly
interesting one. The steel plate,
“The Fate of Nydia,” is novel and
very beautiful, both in execution
and design, and the other illustra
tions are also very fine.
The Fashion Department of this
excellent publication is so well
edited as to lead many to suppose
that it is a Fashion Magazine, but
this is a great mistake; for in reality
it is a Literary Magazine of the
highest order, with hII its depart
ments so ablv conducted that every
member of the family watches with
interest for its arrival.
We know of no magazine better
deserving to be called a Family
Magazine, and it ought to be found
in every household. That the
publisher is a Prohibitionist, tells i
where it stands on the Temperance
question. Published by W. Jen
nings Demorest, 15 East 14tb
Street, New York.
THE NEORO AND POLITICAL
PARTIES,
Editor Savannah Tribune:
In our judgment nothing is
stranger than the multiplicity of
views expressed by all classes as to
the Negro and politics. The Dem
ocrats seem to think he should vote
with them, but for what reason God
only knows unless it is because they
have always been his worst enemy.
The Republicans on the other hand
argue that the poor Negro should
vote with them in season and out ot
season, because as they say. they
freed him gave him the ballot, etc.,
and we are sorry to see on the part
of some intelligent Negroes a dis
position to pander to both of these
policies*
The fact of the whole matter is
the colored citizens of this country
owe nothing to either of tne two
great parlies, for neither has done
anything for them that they were
not forced to do and even that little
has more than been repaid; conse
quently we are free to do jus a.-
we please so far as the past is con
cerned. But in all future contests
it should be our chief aim to so use
our ballots as to produce the great
est amount of good to onr people
and country. In plain words we
believe the time has come when we
as a people should live, think, and
act for ourselves, regardless of par
ty or party names. When we do thi.-
our assistance will be sought by all
and we should help the one giving
the best g laiantee of protection in
all of our political and civil rights.
