■ Senator Wright of this district

the chain gang bill for teachers in
the Senate last Wednesday. Ah Mr

Thf Savannah Local has been
reckless enough to incur the dis
pleasure of the Atlanta Defiance
which latter editor Completely
wipes up the floor with the editor
of the former. We would advise
nur friend of the Local to be care
ful how he writes about colored
editor*; perhaps he had better >et
’em alone altogether.
The Tribune knows that it is
> right when it strikes in defense of
the Negro, and it will always en
deavor to do right. The People’s
Choice of Macon knows it is doing
wrong when it seeks to paliate or
uphold the disgraceful measures
bending before the Georgia Legis
lature looking, to the degradation ot
the Negro. The Choice having
gone in its hole should stay in it.
The Atlanta Defiance would
like to “hurrah” for Lincoln and
Grant in 1888. Mr. Lincoln was
secretary of war under President
Arthur, and Col. Grant is the Re-
Seblican nominee for Secretary of
tate of New York. They are sons
<>f the two greatest men the country
has ever produced and would make
a powerful team. The tickei would
perhaps arouse more enthusiasm
than any other that could be selec
ted by the Republicans.
CON SIGN PERDITION:
The ihiquitous Glenn bill which
would have placed refined, cultured
ladies on the chain gang for teach
ing white and co|ped children in
the same school received its final
and destructive blow on Wednes
day last in the Senate at Atlanta.
The colored newspapers of the
State, with one exception. were
true to principle and succeed,.d in
arousing public sentiment against
the measure in all parts of the
country. Public opinion was de
cidedly ‘against it. and it seem
after all ’hat common sense has not
entirely deserted the ptesent rep
resentatives of the people in the
legislaiure. The monstrosity crea
ted bv Glenn’s fertile brain which
had passed the House has been
k 1 ed by the adoption of the sul>-
sti u e in the Senate bv a vote of
2 to 13.
As already pointed out by the
Tiibune however, the substitute is
no better than the original bill and
' il 6xa ined in al] its bearings it will
b< found to be more pernicious and
far reaching in its effects. The
substitute will now go bach to the
House, and it is to be hoped that
the colored press of the State will
at onca supplement the good work
it has already done by turning its
united batteries on the foul iegisla
tion which K is proposed to enact
against tbs rising generation in the
8 ate. It is the duty of everv good
citizen to do all in bis power to
a prevent any measure from becom
ing a law which will have the
effect of making its children
disloyal.
Senator Brantley, made a very
able and common sense speech in
the Senate in opposing the Glenn
bill. Among the many true things
he said are the following:
“This bill wai introduced simply to break
up the practice of the professors of the At
lanta colored University of teaching their
children. This bill is clearly uncalled for,
and there is not a single senator on this
floor who apprehends any coeducation of the
races among his immediate constituents. * *
1 say that when the Legislature is passing
such laws as relates to the private life of the
citizens it is opening the door wide for bad
legislation. This bill is unprecedented.
There was never enacted such a law as con
tained in the provisions of this bill. When
the State furnishes equal accommodations to
the people of both races, then the State
could enforce the provisions of this bill.
As applied to public schools our constitu- '
tion contains thia clause which the United
States Constitution does not contaia* “There
’ all .be no legislation upon the social
status of the citizeaa*' ‘Why not say that
the white children shall not play with the
black children or go to church together.
They can live together, interchange visits
play together and finally die together, and
de all things except go to school together.’
Bishop Taylor has succeeded in
establishing a number of successful
missions in Africa. A number of
these are not supported by any
missionary society, and depend en
tirely upon the contributions of
people who take an interest in
foreign missionary labors. Bishop
Taylor’s friends have tn the past 18
months raised $45,000, besides S3O,
000. for building a steel ste ,mer t<>
be sailed Bn the Congo. Mmy of
the st itions are now raising the
Ood which is used for supplies, and
in this way Hre almost ■eels-support
ing. Seven missionaries have died,
but seventy remain and are doing
good service. Bishop Taylor is
now with the last party ol mission
aries who left this country, and is
supposed to be on the Congo.
They will travel up the Kassai
affluent to the rich Baluba country
for hundreds of miles, establishing
stations as thev go along.—Demor

CORRESPONDENCE.
Editor, Tribune :
Dear Sir—l thought as 1 an
out here enjoying the good thing;
I would just nay to you what im
pressions they make upon me ir
busy New York. They do not
atop to teach one to find out wheth
er he has | Negro blood in hit
veins or not for I sat in their res*
taurants alongside of the white
men and ladies, chatted with them
enjoyed my repast, paid and walked
out, they bowed politely and re
quested me to call again. On my
way to Philadelphia the conductor
compelled me to pile right along in
the first cars and in the same seat
with the whites and it did not
seem to cripple the white man
either. I thought then that it the
roughs that threw Miss Morehead
out of the car had exhibited more
common Sens* ; they could have
saved the South from some deg
radation by letting her ride unmol
ested— to their credit. Mr. Editor
in Philadelphia (here) 1 mingle
freely with both races wi hunt
detriment to either. What
I want to ►ay most of all. is
that with all of the civil liberties
enjoyed out here to me, there is no
place that can win my mind from
the sweet balinv south breezes. It
is the land of mv childhood and no
portico of the*e U. 8. is as dear to
mean the sweet Sunny Smith. I
have arrived at th>s conclusion f;"m
my travels that what mv people
need is not to leave any portion of
these U. S. t»go to another Those
that are accustomed to the climate
of the Sou h remain right there,
seek to cultivate industry in sptte
of the low wages prevailing there.
Let all ol their transactions be
governed by strict business princi
pies, truthfulness, honesty, integri
ty, virtue and intelligence. Above
all things be industrious, for we
must acquire wealth before we will
ever be sought after hr the control
ing race. Mr. Editor you ought to
preach to our people the need of
building 2 and S story houses, tear
down the log cabins of 1787 and
build th i improved 2 and 3 story
cottages ot 1877. They must live
decently before they can feel that
they are of much importance in this
world, in other words they must
remove above the level of slavery
to that of freemen, they must learn
to rise as American farmers and act
Amon the consciousness that upon
them the Nation depends f or one
of her luoat important staples It is
true that the State of Georgia has
laws upon her statue books that
degrade her such as the laws of
miscegnation and the present Glenn
bill, bnt what we most need is not
white wives. They would not meet
the requirements of our presents
wants. We are in need of true
helpmates that are'willing to help
us win a place in the world’s histo
ry. Then the colored man cannot
afford to lose his identity as a race,
much is due to him as such in the
converting the swamps of the
South in to the prolific fields that
gladden the hearts of every true
southerner and makes prosperous
a section that only Negro brawn
could for to-day the climate say
that no one shall cultivate its fields
but tue Negro if he dare venture
through it he shall wear the tallow
cast of the malarial land cracker.
Mr. Editor I agree that we have
much to put up with in the way of
discrimination, but that will only be
overcome when enough colored
men make up their minds to die as
martyrs in their tracks before they
will allow anyone to insult their
women in the uncivilized way
that Miss Morehead was.
Since writins the foregoing I just
thought I would drop you another ac
count of the impressions that are being
made upon ine in Philadelphia.
On last Friday night the New Ameri
can Party held a met ting. It was t<>
get up planks for their platform, they
f«re ever so anxious to have the colored
men come in and take an active
part. One of their planks is the pro
tection of American laboieis But Mr.
Editor having seen the Monster Parade
in Philadephii of the Trade Unions
[ noticed the absence of the American
Negro. I am led to the conclusion
that all of this protective industries
means nothing to the Negro unless
they are going to open their doors to
our sous to become trained in these
va~ious industries. Piactically they
make protection work against us. Then
of necessity we that are agriculturists
must look forward to free trade until it
is of intereat to us as a people to support
protection. We cannot become Demo
crats for to be a Democrat is to be a
mystery to ones self—they are nothing
they have no fixed principles, only
prejudiced to everything th it tends to
build up the country. Let me illustrate
to you an answering incident at the
American Party meeting. A southern
Democrat sends them a letter of greet
ing with a wi«h for their ultimate suc
cess, with the request that they wil
inculcate in their principles a platform
these words;- “No one but American
born white men shall fill office.” The
members of the new party held up the
letter after reading it and said that it
was the braying of an ass, that mau they
said is not an American in theory or the
fact what is wanted is American for
Americans without any regard for race
or previous condition or servitude. Mr.
Editor the R,‘publicnns up here are
nxious f»r ’the legi-lature to puss the
Glenn bill as a vindication of what
they have been saying all the time
about the way the Negro are treated in
the South. But the democrats are
wild ever it, they say that the demo
crats by the Glenn bill have stole their
cause they cannot elect Cleveland or
anyone else if the Smith fails to fall in
line with the present condition. Mr.
Edit r those outrages that are being
perpetrated South are doing more to
help ihe colored people than you have
an id< a of. The North 8‘ es plainly
that life liberty and the pursuit of
happiness are really being denied in
that section of there free U. S. They
c-unm >qly call Glenn, upon the streets
here, a fool.
