SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1887
Can't some one of the noted
colored musicians compose a march
to be known as the Vicksburg ViJ*
1 ians or the Memphis Miscreants ?
It is rumored on the streets that
an expedition has been quietly or
ganized in this city for the purpose
of invading the Republic of Hon
duras. It has been thought of
enough importance for the secreta
ry of State at Washington to com
municate with the Governor of
Georgia on the subject. Govern
ment and State officers are bn the
alert ready to capture the would
be warriois when found.
Judge Wm. J. W buffer, of Beau
font, S C.,, visited our city on last
Monday. Our reporter hearing of
his arrival lost no time in bunting
him up and was pleased to find him
the same jovial fellow of thirty-live
vears ago. After taking a smile
or two we engaged in conversation
which rood drifted into politics,
from which we gleamed the follow
ing. The Judge thinks there is a
better time coming for the Negroes
of this country if they are true to
•themselves and does their whole
duty aa citizens. He thinks as
this country is so prolific of great
iocd the Republican party will have
no trouble in nominating a candi
<late in 1888 who will win th® tight.
But believes it best that old party
hacks should be thrown overboard
and a new man taken up. He con
aiders ‘‘Hones-t John” Sherman’s
chances good for the nomination
and feels confident tfiat his election
would bring prosperity to the
country and protection to all of its
citizens. Judge Whipper has been
an active Republican since the par
ty was organized in 1856. And
there are but few if any of our race
who have given the subject of poli
tics more careful study therefore
we consider his opinions important
as indicating the general sentiment
of the colored Republicans of his
State.
A Press Dispatch from Washing,
ton says that W. IL Green, the
only colored man, ever admitted to
the signal service, has been dis
missed from that service without a
character. The only significance
m this order lies in the fact that he
is a colored man and is the man
over whom Gen. Hazen and Secre
tary of War Lincoln, had a contro
versy. Mr. Green was a graduate
of a New York college and was
highly recommended, and the Sec
retary overruled Gen Mazen’s order.
Green, soon after the appointment,
was assigned to duty at Pensacola.
The Sergeant in charge of the sig
nal office there refused to accept
him as his assistant, and was court
martialed and reduced to a private
for bis disobedience of orders.
Green was then placed in charge
at Pensacola, but did not give sat
isfaction either to the signa) office
nor to the community he served.
He was sent to Rochester, New
York, where bis record has been
very unsatisfactory, «nd it is stated
that had he been a white man his
connection with the signal service
would have been summarily cut
k short a Jong time before this- but
" they decided to give the colored
own conduct necessitated his dis
missal.
We will anxiously look for Mr.
Green’s side of the question, and
would not ba surprised to find the
case entirely different from the
above.
color laneTbefore the
COMMISSION,
Washington June I—The1 —The trouble
about the color line has broken out
in an unexpected quarter. A peti
tion received Jby the Interstate
Commission to-day from William
11. Council, a colored citizen of
Alabama, who charges the Georgia
Central Railroad company with
having discriminated against him
on account of his color. It appears
that he paid a first-class fare, but
when he undertook to ride in a first
class car he was not only forcibly
ejected, but treated with brutality
in the bargain. He wants $20,000
damages. Commissioner Bragg
vouches for the character and
standing of the complainant. In an
interview in the Star Commissioner
Bragg says:
Whea I Was president of the Alabama
Board of Railroad Coiamissio-ner-s I
required the railroad to furnish fir&t
elwss aeeoFnmodatio®s for all passengers
ar ho paid first class fare. There was a
fearful kick against it, but T stuck it
out and ca’orced the order. They have
no right to exact first-elaee tare fro® a
colored man and then give him fourth
class accommodations. The result of
my order was that the railroads had to
f urnish separate first class ears for first
class colored passengers. Why, the rep
resentatives of these very railroad com
panies came up here and endeavored to
persuade the president not to appoint
me upon this Commission because I had
taken the stand in favor of what I re
garded as justice to the colored people,
That was the only point they made
against me, but the President did not
seem to sympathize with them iu their
opposition to me. This complaint is
not against any Alabama railroad. It is
made egainst the Georgia Central.—Ex
