K It is a fact that your argument
Bnay be sound, but it will not bring
■conviction to an empty head.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean is one
■of the staunchest, and most reliable
papers in this country.
178,000 colored soldiers were en-
Irolled in the fruited States service
| during the late war, and 36,847
H were slain on the field of battle.
■ Scandal is what one half of the
■world takes pleasure in inventing,
Band the other hall equal pleasure in
|. believing.
If the Darien Gazette would let
BSavannah and prohibition rest tor
hi awhile, and contend in the good
1 work of booming their new railroad
■ it might add to its greatness?
R “Joe” the brother of Sam Jones
| has made his debut as an evangel
|jst, and is described as the most
| liveliest in the 101.
Our candid opinion is that if the
j prohibitionist had treated the brother
f in black differently during the two
years of prohibition in Atlanta: differ
i ent r<suit would have been reached.—
j, Ga., Baptist.
A Our Atlanta friends should not
J commence to kick so early because
j the prospect is that the convention
|of colored men will he held in
Macon.
I Delaware is the only State in
wtbv Union where white jnen have
’to pay $2.50 to get a marriage
d license while colored people get
| theirs free.

The Co-operation of Hon. Roscoe

The President’s message was read
to both Houses of Congress on
Tuesday morning; and is confined
entirely to a discussion of the tariff.
Many important questions of the
hour weiv omitted according to this
novel and unique precedent.
The Peoples choice endorses the
call for the convention, and says
by all means let it be field in
Macon. Come over and from
Macon's warm, hearted hospitality
you will get such a greeting as will
; cause you to exclaim “It is well to
j be here.
I The National Republican Com
mittee has only one colored mem
ber, and that is lion. John R
of Miss. It seems to us that
no just reason .should exist that
there are not 5 or 6 more colored I
met on the committee.

i not believe'Mr. Blaine entertained
rhe slightest desire or intention to
be nominated for the presidency
next yt ar - The person d relatio. s
of Mr Jones with Mr. Blaine gives
great importance to this statement.
; Bro Wright, ot >i.e Sentim l in
exphinirg tne Me it of the probi-
■ iu Fal’ou County, say.;
“There was no doubt a great lack
ot sagacity, and quite likely fair
play on the part of the prohibition
ists toward the colored brother.”
The prospects are that at this ses
sion of Congress the House will
agree on the Senate bill which was
passed at the last session appropri
ating SIOOO,OOO for the relief of the
late Freedmen’s Bank depositors.
62 per cent, of the amount being
paid, leaves 38 per cent, to be cov
ered by the appropriation now
provided for in tne Senate bill.
Prohibition does not do what it pre
tends to do; it causes a tremendous
amount of violation of law and <onteinpt
of law; it promotes sneaking evasions,
and it is doubtful if it materially lessens
the amount of drinking. If either policy
is a fraud and a sham it seems to us to
be that which falls so far short of ac
complishing its own objects.—New
York Times.
Fifty of Minnesota’s most prom
inent colored citizens recently met
in convention to consider the feasi
bility of organizing a ‘‘Piotective
Industrial League lor the dvnnce
ineiit of the interest of colored men
of that State.” The principle
objects of the League is Saul to be
to secure to the color id citizens of
that >tate, full and free enjovm°iit
of their civil and political rights. It
is for nearlv the same object tha
Georgians propose holding their
convention in January next.
It is reported that I urge numbers
of colored people are leaving Beau
fort ami Hsjmpton Coiyities. S. C.,
for Arkansas. A majority of these
people no doubt are being deluded
bv laud agetus who receive a lucra
tive perceri'agt in the transaction.
The question that recurs to our
mind, is will 'heir condition be
bettered by the steps that have
been taken Our people should
understand that a hasty and indis
criminate m >vedike that a’temp’ed,
ill certainly end disastrous!y We
do not object to colored men mov
ing from place to place like other
men to better their condition, but
will it J>e»»done in this instance?
D >es JFikhnsas affed any more
facility for their advancement and
progress than South Carolina, or
are they fret r from the abuses of
heir civil mid political'rights prac'
tired in the latter State, D no’?
why thus traversing h’oou’? What
’hen are ’he m ’ferial benefit- to l>e
derived? and are these cot questions
• hat should be carefully considered
by our friends

I his ami the province of B o are the priii
<• pal slaveholdiog districts ot the einpir *.
Au el! rt wa- made a* me y- ar* ago to free
the slaves, but owing to tbe great wealth
and influence of the owners the plan was
defeated. In 1873 the number of registered
slaves in Minas was 340,444, and since that
date 107,615 have entered. The deaths
amounts to 49.316, and 105,349 have been
sent to other places and sold. The slaves
are used in mining and for work onthe large
coffee estates, In the Minas and Rio region
there are 556,896 human beings working in
a condition of slaverv far worse than that of
the slaves of the Son’h before the war.
There are some 180.000 children of slaves in
these provinces, who are held and owned dy
the masters. A number of slaves are not
registered, and although they are free de
jure, they are not necessarLy so de facto.
Neailyuine tenths of the slaves are Brazil
ians. and the rest are Africans. The slave
trade is carried on extensively throughout
the empire, ami those who engage in it
quickly g.ow rich The British Consul at
Kio de Janeiro prepared a lengthy report
relating io the traffic, and had it laid before
the last Parliament. An effort, it is said,
will be made by the Bnii-h Government to
stop the traffic of the B azilian -lave dealers
in Africa and other places.—Demorest’s
