“Colored people can do more
talk to the square minute about
sticking to one another, and do less
of it than any other raca in exist
ence.”--Athens Clipper.
True, and Savannah has her full
share of such people too. and don’t
you forget it.
If something is not done soon to
quiet the “pertui bedispirit” of ihose
youug men on the Defiance, they
will kick themselves to pieces.
Hear what they say :
Another Republican convention in Geor
(;ia like the last one will knock the party
nto a ‘‘cocked hat.**
A SOLDIER'S DUTY.
A curious case came up before the
County Court of Jacksonville, Fla.,
last Monday that affects the duty of
a military man in that State. It
seems that a private of the Jackson
ville Light Infantry, was summoned
to appear for drill on a certain
evening, nnd instead of obeying
otders as a good soldier should, he
Went with his ‘ best girl” to the
theatre. At the clo-e of the per
formance he was arrested by his
Sargent, and after considerable
resistance — and with the aid of a
musket and bayonet—he was taken
to the guard room considerably
bruised. On being ieleased by his
commanding officer, he sued out a
warrant against the arresting offi
> cers for assault and battery. The
case was called, and the Judge dis
missed the warrant upon the ground
“that the law plainly Provides for
the arrest and punishment of mem
bers who refuse to attend drills.”
A good law that, and if there is
such a law on the statutes booksol
Georgia, it should be hunted up by
those in authority and enforced.
There are mmy men who are at
tached to companies that pay no
attention to their drilh and meet
ings aid the result is that when
their commands are on parade they
they spoil the “good efiect which
Otherwise wculd hue been made by
their bad marching.
A VIEW OF THE SECTIONAL
ISSUE.
L One of the stock arguments of Democratic
■ politicians is that the Republican partv is
addicatcd to waving the “bloody shirt.” It
is a brutal suggestion, an unsavory expres
sion which decent men would gladly consign
forever to “innocuous desuetude,” But so
long as the Democracy shall indulge in the
U»e of this Indelicate epithet, so long as they
choose to apply to Republican motive and
conduct this insincere ard uncharitable tal
ent, so long must Republicans insist upon the
true issue involved in the foul suggestion of
the sanguinary garment. There is not in
the ranks of the Republican party to-day a
citizen so base as to entertain a feeling of
hatred toward our brethren of the South or
who is at all anxious to revive tht animosi
ties of twenty years ago, The dearest hope
that animates the heart of every true Rtpub
lican is to see the results and settlements of
the war of the rebellion respected and obaerv
ed n every part of the Republic and to join
in their countrymen every section of the Uni
on in achieving the blessed victories of peace
thereby contributing to the prosperity of a
reunited nationality.
What Republicans demand is a “Lee bal
lot and a fair count,” the right of everv citi
zen North and South, to cast one ballot and
Ho more at an election and to have that bal
lot honestly couuted and the result truly de
clared.—N, Y. Press.
No truer sentiments were ever
penned; that is “to see the re
tails and settlements of the war ol
the rebellion respected and observ
ed in every part of the Union. But
it is disgusting to bear of the con
tinued hackneyed saying of the
“bloody shirt” waving. It is only
when Republicans demand a “free
ballot and a fair count,” that it
waves in the mind of our fiiends (?).
It shall never wave with our con
sent; because we believe with our
great leader who has already cross
ed the Jui dan, ‘hat ii is rime to “h't
us have peace’. While tbli>, we
believe, we can never be unmind
ful of the duty we owe to our race,
our children, and ourselves by lav
ing iii a state of “innocuous desuo— l
tude, and not demurring to the i
modus operandi of l)sim*cra<*v i
U4 of siu-L civil rights t
that should by all fairness be recon
i ized by all American citzens. Let
this be done and the foolish cry of
“bloody shirt” we venture to say,
will never again be heard. “A free
ballot and a fair count.” we guar
antee will consign it to oblivion.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Grand Bassa Lib. Buchanan 24th.
Mr. Editor: —Having read in
the columns of your issue of the 24t
of last December the unequalled
false representations of Mr. C. FL
J. Taylor; I take pleasure in send
ing you the accompanying answer
, for insertion in your paper.
I did not see Mr. Taylor while he
s was at Monrovia, and since reading
his slanders on Liberia, am glad I
did not get in contact with him.
I Mr. Johnson having answered the
impostor so fully I have only two
points to add : Since Taylor left
Liberia, it seems that he would have
> himself regarded a “genuine Negro”
■ but while he was at Monrovia, his
greatest pride was to impress the
, white residents that he (Taj lor) is
seven-ojßhths white. He asked h
. white man at Monrovia, “how many
’ white people are in this place ? I
am seven-eighths white you know,
and I should like to understand my*
self when Igo out.” He was short
ly answered, “I have never taken
’ ’he census, you better find out
from some one more interested in
the color distinction.” That does
not sound much like Mr. Taylor re
gards himself a Negro. We are
rather inclined to think Taylor fill d
his Democratic mission just, as t
was Supposing his in
corrigible falsehoods would influ
ence the Negroes against einigr t-
1 ing to Liberia; and they (the Demo
crats) will be able to buj’ up their
votes, as he said he did in Kansas.
Next, Mr. Taylor saye Liberia is
a misnomer. I suppose misnomer
being a law phrase, he wanted to
keep the reporter in mind of his be
ing counsellor in the U. S. Supreme
Court. Ii would be very interes -
ing if the counsellor make up a
brief sustain that hie name is not a
misnomer. In all his boasting
about his fortune and what he ex
pects to inherit from his grand moth
er. We have never heard Lira
s.>eak of his mother, nor his father.
Now if he had no mother nor father
how came he with a grand mother, j
Again, if he bad no fahe r . or, is
ashamed to own either fath-r or
mother, where did he get the title
Taylor, from his old master? If he
did, it is a misnomer, unless master
was father. It is a tact, to all who
have visited Liberia, that Mr. Tay
lor’s most palpable false represent
ation of Liberia is equalled by noth
ing in the world better than the
‘‘Third voyage of Sinbad the sail
or.”
Concluding, I give you here a
copy of the learned Minister’s
speech to President Johnson when
t<e was received by the government.
Any one who reads this grand elo
quent speech, must conclude that
the American government should
have found a full blooded man—
white or black —instead a seven
eights one.
Monrovia Liberia, June 2d. 1887.
Mr. President ; —lt has been said
that “by their fruits ye shall know
them.” I hope that my “official acts”
in your Republic will speak loader than
my words. You will pardon me for re
fusing to tax more of your time in hear
ing me Ido not btlii ve it to be proper
to unnecsssarily obstruct the business of
a government by “speech making.” I
am here to do my best towards amend
ing and waking more strong the bonds
of friendship between the government
which you have the honor to so ably re
present and the United States. I hopa
our relation shall be such that in the
end it shall be found that my coming
here was divinely inspired. 1 have seen
a great many things here which agtee
ably surprised me, and which speaks the
capacity and ability of the Liberians to
self govern. I have many business
matters, which I desire to bring before
you and which I trust, you may in your
wi>e judgment consider proper “sub
jects" for the attention of your gown -
ment.
I am with great consideration for
your high esteem, Your Obedient Ser
vant,
Chas. 11. J. Taylor,
U. S. Minister Res. Con. Gen.
Now, considering how many
things surprised, am] how many
things bespoken to him the cap ici
ly and ability of the Liberians to
s if govern Ac., who will leluse to
sign the verdict that Taylor either
lied in his official paper, or he lied
to all the reporters, and assemblies
he has addressed about Liberia.
I was not a boot black, ner a news
boy in Savannah; it is my native
city, doubtless many persons yet
remember my father’s name.
