Lansas, a town with a population of 500. She is the only female mayor in the United States. * Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, son of the great Abraham Lincoln, who is mentioned as a candidate for the Presidency regrets the use of his name in tnat connection as he does iot desire the office. He prefers to devote himself to the practice of his profession. The investigation by the Gov ern<>r of the barbarous treatment of the Gtorgia convicts by the peni tentiary companies 2 and 3, was begun in Atlanta on Thursday. The State has filed additional charges against the inhuman lessees to show why the leases should be forfeited. The hearing was adjourned to next Wed uesday. — At Wheeling, West Virginia, on Friday the 27th ultimo an unpar alleled scene took plac.*.

A, R. refused to proceed, but finally marched around the l>a ner, I heir hostility being on account of rhe President’s veto of the dependent soldiers bill and hie recent order in reuaid to the sur render of the confederate flags. THE BAPTIST CENTENNIAL. The Colored Biptieis of Georgia ar- h trd at work raising means ami inking other arrangements for thou grand Centennial Celebration which takes place in this city on the first Wednesday in June 1888. The e are in ihe State over 140(1 colored Biptist churches, about 500 ministers, 2000 licentiates, and a mvimlie i ship of about ’60,000. A large fen’ or p .vilion cap Ude of seating nearly 10.000 -nil lie erec " tec a’ a suitable point in ihe city. I)ibtingnis|ietl men f.om all parts of I |he ' • nntry will l>e in attendance at the Crmem i*.l which will con tiiioe two Weeks. It will be the grandest celebration ev r gotten up by colored men intlieUnit States. . .. . ... - qp 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, S. B. Morse.
