THE COLOR yt EST ION.
The aim ot ihe i ribune has been
and is. to primote the most cordial
and ftiendiy relations bc*we e n the
races in Georgia, hi tins commu
nity the best elements of the color
ed and white people have been
getting along very amicably, and it
has seemed to be the desire of both
to continue in this very laudable
condition and to push forward and
henefif each others condition hs id
d«*ed ihe p'osperi'y of the one is
the wellfare of the other. We see
no decided intention on the part < f
the unseparables as ge may cla-s
colored and white people, to do anv
thing to the injury or degradation
of the other, and we, believe
that it would be h very great act
of felly for either to pursue such a
policy which would have h tenden
cy »»nd if pursued in could only rv
suA iu the greatest ujury to then
future success.
'ihe Morning News has very fie
ipientlv of late •said some very goo<
thing* in favor of justice being* »,<•-
oorded to colored people on R iil
roads, and against some of the
nouaensical utterances of inexpe
rienced and uninformed white men
who have assailed the Negro race
any cause, and with the
only apparent reason to bring
themselves into notority and gain’a
competency threugh the prejudices
of the whites against the blacks
which they have Endeavored to ex
cite. We have contended that there
are a considerable number of
brainy young white men in Savan
nah who are sick and tired of being
shoved to the rear for the purpose
of making away for anta-bellum
fossils who live and fatten on dead
issues, and by keeping the preju
dices of white people alive by
always crying you will bring about
Negro superiority or social equality,
when the young men attempt to
show their independence. There
is nothing further from the minds
of the colored people than to seek
social equality. Social equality
■ with whom? The white people dont
; have it among themselves, and as
far as can be ascertained it does
not exist among colored people
anywhere. All classes of people
have their different grades or dis
tinction in society, and no effort has
be« n observed on their part to
change the condition of things-
While the coeducation of the col*
<>red and white people would not tie
social equality, we have heard of no
desire of colored people in this city
or elsewhere to attend white
schools; and if the white schools
were thrown open to them it is
very doubtful if a sirgle colored
child would be sent thereto in pref
erence to the excellent schools
which they now attend. What is
said of the condition here is prob,
ably true of every city in Georgia-
Such being the fact what is the
meaning of the unwise and untimely
agitation of the race school question
in this State, as brought forth by
the Glenn chain gang bill now
pending in the senate it having
passed the lower house The bill
is very general!}’ admitted to be
unnecessary, so far as any desire on
the part of colored people for co
education is concerned. If it is
unnecessary legislation why should
it be persisted in? Is it because of
the lear of its advocates that social
equality and miscegnation would
follow? We cannot believe that
to be the true reason, but do feel
convinced that it is intended to
keep alive the prejudices against
the colored people and prevent
them from having an equal chance
in the struggle to better their con
dition because of that prejudice.
This being our view of the case
we shall always continue to de
nounce the Germ bill as infamous
legislation and a blot upon Georgia
and a disgrace to civilization. In
the denounciation of and fight
against the monstrosity it is to be
hoped, that colored men will not be
alone, but that some of the inde
pendent thoughtful white men will
have the courage to lift their voices
against it and demand fair play and
an equal chance for all.
LOUISIANA AND* LOUISIANIANS.
New Orleans, A ng. 28, 1887.
3/y Dear Colonel Deveaux ’
I feel very much the loss of the
Tribune. It whs my custom every
Saturday returning home from my
faun to call for the “Tribune,” and
witli with hh mneh complacence
and dignity as the Royal Cavalier
after the restoration under Charles
the second, to sit down and care
fully glean and Contemplate upon
“colored people” in general and
particularly Chatham county and
Savannah as affected and colored
l>y them And it is indispensable
that when studying about colored
p ople we necessaiily study altou’
white peopb ; for as the 4 Georgi i
Bap ist” in i’B excellent article on
the Glenn •» rverseness well said
that theie. <a be no parallel lines
for the black .nd white men, but
each must necessarily tread in the
same path. They may not to-day,
but they will do'so. It is only a
matter of time.
I have be»*n away from our city
now three weeks and I don’t be
lieve J ran dispense longer with my
‘•Tribune” >o J will thank yon to
send me my copy and another copy
to Mr. W. H. Gainey, (Inion and
Baronne street. I sin. 1 f loin t j, ne
to time during my stay here drop
xou a few inklings of the people of
this State and their customs. 1 I
find in tills city of very lare pro- i
portions and magnificient distances
from point to point (for p. ople here 1
never think of walking fr-.m one
str. et to another oi visiting on foot
—because of the distant e—street
cars being their second foot.) a
goodly sprinkling of Georgians.
The population of this city resem
bles the conglomerate heterogen
eous composition of that of New
York city. And in the colored re
presentatives of all the different
slave states are particularly numer
ous; for you will remember that in
antebellum times New Orleans was
not only the greatest sugar and
cotton market of the world hut the
greatest slave market. And to me
it is a great pleasure to have old
men and women of the six ies and
seventies asking about their rela
tives and old friends in Georgia,
whose friends judging from the
looks of the enquirers must have
crossed “Jordan’s icy current’ forty
or fifty years before Sherman set
his first torch to Atlanta or at least
20 years before Jeff Davis in his
flaming toga hi d from R cbmond
io Irvinville. Georgia, particularly
unceremonious abuu. the order or
even dignity of his departure. I
met ye terday Col. Lewis, ex-Sur
veyo- General of this port and the
acknowledged leader of bis party of
this section. Os course he is a Re
publican and a right stalwart look
ing one at that, in the very prime
of life and a more affible, high
spirited and truly kind of a m,n as
only the Republican par v can
breed and sustain. To show the
mirthful and genial disposition of
the man when turning over to his
ouccessors Stephen Grover Cleve
land’s allies he says 1 shall say as
the Saviour said “1 go but I shall
return again.” Os course no man i*
so insane ns does not know Grover’
is now serving at the same lime bis
firs , second, third and last terms.
Among the \oung<*r generations of
Georgia and our late fellow citizens
lei me mention our genial friends
W II Gainey and he»rtv Frederick
Ward of Ol< Mill.- street —Sayan
uahianH aie the same selfish Savau
nahinns all the world over. We
did not lay a fresh coat of red paint
upon the town, but v\e expeiieneed
as much joy at meeting and have
had a-* much fun as it we did paint
her red. Messrs. Gainey and Ward
are leading men in ’lie labor organ
izations which act directly upon ihe
large capital invested in cotton.
Louisiana is in the progressive age
in theee organizations are white
and colored who ait to a man to
get her—the sequel theiefore, i
short. capital inns' bend. I was
going down town the other evening
and heard a young laboring Irish
man about 25 years old invite hi
friend a colored man as black as
mortals can be painted, to iiis Irish
lodge. I thought to my-elf how 1
would look in an Irish gathering of
Washington Square, or Bryan street.
This shows the spirit of New Or-
eans.—
To return to our Georgians 1
have visited and dined with friend
G tiney and his excellent matron
Madam Anna. I'o them a fine fam
ily of children have been given. A
voting miss of 16 now finishing her
course at the State Univeieity and
an excellent pianist is the oldest—
the second a lad of 15 is an ap
prentice to the brick mason trade,
the youngest Eugenia named after
Mrs Eugenia .'«! mine Ford, of our
own city, a witching, cute and win
some little girl is the youngest.
Mrs. Gainey looks more like -inter
than mother to tlii- beautiful fam
ily. Not a str nd of gray o' »in
indication of age marks In i features
—Louisiana has certiinly agreed
with her. Gainey is the same Bill
Gainey with as niuvh life, jolitv mid
sarcasm aS ever, though his hair i
considerable graver, vet in that
frank and strongly marked face age
has nnt dared to intrude. Ward the
very image of life and strength is
the same Fred, ot 66 and 70 He
has never looked better (han he
does now. He is well known here
highly spoken of respected and very
much like I here. Many engage
ments thus far his prevented my
seeing Mrs. Ward, but I had better
reserve some for next time, How is
genl d cap’ain ‘lndian Dick'?
Very truly,
