CITY PRINTING.
In the Republic.* n of Wednesday we
atated that this paper would not enter
into a scramble for the city printing, at
a lower rate than the work had been
done for the past year, being fully satis
fied that the amount paid was little
enough. It was our purpose to rest
the case here, and to have said no more
on the subject, but to leave the matter
in the hands of the members of the
Council .to act as they felt dispos
ed! lint there ■ appeared an editorial
columns of the Recorder on
the same day, touching the same
subject, that placed this paper in a
wrong light, which we don’t feel dis
posed to pass unnoticed, and our only
object in noticing it, at this time, is to
place the Republican right on the rec
ord, and, at the same time., do no in
justice to our neighbor.
The reason the Republican did not
hand in a sealed proposal to do the
printing for the present year, existed in
the tact that notice had been given us
by the Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, that it was unnecessary, that the
Council intended to fix a salary and
elect a printer. The same information
was imparted to the proprietor of
the Recorder by the Chairman of said
Committee. Subsequent action of the
Council shows that this imformation
was correct, as will be Seen from the
following:
“Report of Chairman of Finance Com -
mittee recommending that the Council
elect a printer at a salary of $125.00
per annum, exclusive of Marshal’s sales,
was received. The yeas and nays be
ing called stood: Yeas—Aid. Morgan,
Williams, Watts and Bell. Nays—
Aid. Cobb and Burt.”
Here we rest the case and leave the
Council to act in the premises as they
deem best. Should they honor the
Republican with the printing, we
shall endeavor to discharge our part of
the contract faithfully. If, however,
we should not be their choice, we shall
cheerfully acquiesce in the decision ot
that body.

War Claims.
The House Committee have agreed
to pension veterans of the Mexican and
Indian wars —all except ex-President
Jefferson Davis. Now what do they
suppose Mr. Davis cares for this fling?
Why, it will add another chaplet to
his crown of immortality. It will as
sist much more to make his name still
more glorious than a thousand cash
giatuities, from the pension office, a
place now famous for corruption.
Columbus Times: It will pain the
many personal friends in this city to
learn that Col. Jas. W. Warren, the
chief clerk of Governor Stephens, has
been stricken with paralysis. Col. War
ren whs raised in Columbus and though
he has not lived here in many years,there
are hundreds of friends who will deeply
sympathize with him in his affliction.
The father of Col. Warren suffered for
many years before his death, from a
similar attack. We hope this attack
will not be permanent and that Colonel
Warren will soon be at his post again,
for Governor Stephens can ill afford to
lose the service of so efficient an officer.
We are indebted to Hon. R. P. Flow
er, of New York, for a copy of his
speech in the House of Representatives
of the llnited States, in support of his
resolution proposing an amendment to
the constitution so as to give the Presi
dent power to veto separate items in
appropriation bills. The speech itself
is very short, but Mr. Flower appends
it to the constitution of the United
States as a part of his argument,
suggesting that “it cannot be too wide
ly disseminated, as an acquaitance with
it makes every immigrant an American
and every Americana patriot.” It is
priuted in a pamphlet not larger than
an ordinary letter envelope, a conve
nient form for carrying in the breast
pocket, and we hope has been given
very extensive circulation.
Gaiteau’s Jury— Is the Assasin’s
Prophecy Being Fulfilled?
Washington, January 7.— Guitean,
it will be remembered, cursed the jury
that convicted him. He prophesied to
them all manner of evil. The people
here are commenting on happenings to
that jury since the trial. To-day
Thomas 'Henline, who was a member
of the jury, died. He makes the sec
ond member of the jury who has de
parted this life. Another named Shee
han has lost all his property and is
"now a hotel porter. Henline died of
heart disease, which was supposed to
have been t aggravated on account of
'Confinement in the jury room.
LETTER FROM WESTON.
Weston, Ga., Jan. 9, 1883.
•Editor Sumter Republican: Christ
mas of 1882 has passed, and from the
low price of cotton, a general stagna
tion of business, there appeared to exist
more of gloom, apathy and inertness,
than is usual on occasions of Christmas
holidays. True, there was in some
homes the indispensable egg-nog, where
the spirits, the sugar and eggs were
procurable, and occasionally a smile of
the reverent ardent, unmixed; but in
general the verdict is, an extremely dull
and joyless Christmas. We were to
some extent relieved from the unpleas
ant reveries by the regular weekly visit
of the Sumter Republican, the only
paper coming to this office and pub
lished in this section of the State,
favoring us with the acts and doings of
the outer world, for which the editor,
compositors, pressmen, and the devil as
well, have the thanks of an apprecia
tive public, Let’s enquire however, if
thanks are deserving. Is it not a con
tract, bargaio, or sale, for a considera
tion, between newspaper men and sub
scribers, that for a certain sum of
money, in cash, the party ot the first
part agree to deliver to the address of
the party of the second part, a weekly
paper (of the proper name given said
paper) once a week, for one year?
Now, the almanac makers calculate on
a basis of fifty two weeks in a year,
and when the newspaper men stop off
one issue for Christmas holiday, and
an issue on the fourth of July holiday,
and probably another issue on some
other holilay, all these slop off's is,
so far as my experience goes, at the
expense of the subscribers, and most
frequently at a time similar to that
which has just past, when the family
newspaper tends most materially to
enliven as well as enlighten, the mind
of the reader, and awaken the thought
from melancholy forebodings, and start
now a fresh, with renewed energy to
battle with zeal in the struggle of life.
Yes, though you have only discharged
a duty to your patrons, being an excep
tion to the press custom of your con
frere, we are under obligations for your
kind remembrance.
The election for county officers is
over, and e'er this, you have the re
turns.
Farmers, (though meditative and
sore of the low and unremuncrative
price offered for the staple) are gener
ally supplied wit h a sufficiency of labor,
and are moving along with more cau
tion than has heretofore been their cus
tom. There is still room for a few
more industrious and honest laborers in
our community.
Professor C. E. Grubbs, Principal of
the High School at Weston, resumes
exercises at that institution of learning
with exceedingly flattering prospects.
Board has already been engaged for
eighteen or twenty pupils from a dis
tance, board here being only seven and
eight dollars per month, including
lodging, lights, fuel and washing and
ironing. This, combined with the
social and moral status of the com
munity, the proficiency of Professor
Grubbs and his assistants, as educa
tors, the healthfulness of the location,
the cheap rate of tuition, together with
the valuable services of the accomplish
ed teacher of music, Mrs. Mary King,
who is a thorough musician, and has
the happy faculty of impaiting a
knowledge thereof to her papils. All
these desirable prerequisites will possi
bly matriculate ninety pupils.
There is scarcely anything for the
doctors, professionally, though our
villagp has medical talent and ability
of a high order, viz.: Dr. A. K. Pat
terson, Dr. J. T. Dismuke and Dr. N.
G. Alston, Jr. There are three mer
cantile establishments, viz.: Z. F.
Sanders, W. W. Simmons and W. P.
Tracy & Son, all dealing in general
merchandise, and offering goods on
the same terms as the same quality and
styles can be procured in Dawson,
This is a great convenience, and I for
■ne think it not only a privilege but a
duty to patronize home establishments
and institutions, all else being equal.
There are two Churches in the village,
Methodist and Missionary Baptist.
Services at each once a month, and
Sabbath School well attended, at the
Methodist Church in morning, and at
Baptist Church in the afternoon. There
is a Masonic Lodge, with a respectable
number of zealous members. A wood
and blacksmith shop, and above all,
the citizens here are at peace, each with
the other, and good will and friendship
is the order of the day.
Having trespassed upon your valua
ble columns, and the patience ot your
readers, already, too long, wishing a
continued career of prosperity for the
Sumter Republican, so long a wel

appreciative readers, and that the year

Church Caste—An Able Article
From Rev. Dr. Curry.
*The Color Line in Methodist Ciicrch
es North as Well as South—The
Case at Birmingham, Alabama.
Cincinnati Times-Star.
The Western Christian Advocate
January 3, contain and article that will
be likely to attract very wide attention
both among the members of the Meth
odist Episcopal churches north and
south, and thinking persons outside
the church. The writer of the article
is the Rev. Daniel Curry, for many
years the euitor of the. New York
Christian Advocate (the leading ex
ponent of Methodist views), and with
but one exception for some years the
foremost writer of the church. The ar
ticle. if written by a minister of ordi
nary standing, would certainly have
called forth criticism, as it now doubt
less will, yet it would have attracted
little general attention. But the posi
tion Dr. Curry has for many years oc
cupied causes his writings to be regard
ed as expressing the views oi a large
number, if not the larger portion of the
members of the M. E. Church. The
article takes the position that however
much tljey may try to conceal it from
themselves, the Methodist have a dis
like to associate in social church rela
tions upon an equality with colored
people. The occasion of the article
was the criticism of the request of a
Methodist (north) minister in Birming
ham, Alabama, to certain colored peo
ple who were in the habit of meeting
in church with them to do so no longer.
The criticisms especially referred to by
Dr. Curry were published in the New
York Independent and the Zion's
Herald, of Boston, both of which he
says qere written by Methodists. The
Independent describes the act of the
Birmingham pastor as “that Alabama
leprosy,” and the writer in Zion’s
Herald characterizes it as “brutal.”
After commenting upon a part of the
article in Zion’s Herald and its author,
Dr. Curry says:
“Mr. Lansing is now a member of
the New York East Conference, where
his services are sought by of the largest
and best churches, and we hazard but
littlo in saying that neither in the
church that he is now serving nor in
that befoie served by him (both in New
England), is it either expected or desir
ed that colored people should become
stated attendants. If, indeed, drawn
by his name as a minister and his
most enviable reputation as a friend to
their race, the colored people should,
in considerable numbers, addict them
selves to attendance upon his ministry,
where ho now is, quite certainly either
himself or someone else having the
requisite authority, would let it be
kuowu that the Methodist Episcopal
church at Stamford, Conn., and that
at Birmingham, Ala., occupy about the
position relative to the “color line.”
VVe will venture, also, to guess that,
could the matter be tested, it would
turn out that the position of the Meth
odist Episcopal church at Plainfield, N.
J., in which our good brother of the
Independent is an honored officebearer,
is in respect to this matter, just about
the same with the others named. This,
we venture to affirm, is the position of
our churches all over the laud, with but
few exceptions, and those few> are in
places where there are very few colored
residents. We know of no “mixed”
congregations (having and appreciable
colored membership) anywhere in all
the Methodists of the northern states.
This is stated simply as a fact that in
such a discussion ought not be kept out
of sight, but without any design to
justifiy its existence, or to palliate its
offensiveness. If Mr. King’s action
in the Alabama case was the result of
inexcusable iveakness, it may be sus
pected that there are many others who
are acting quite as weakly,’ for whom
even less excuse could be urged.”
Dr. Curry vigorously declares his
utter dislike of “caste distinctions,”
but says their existence is so manifest
that it is impossible to ignore them.
He further expresses the opinion that
the people and churches of this country
are very far from having reached the
end of this subject of caste and race
distinctions. “The homogeneity of our
populations,” he says, “is only a rem
iniscence—we are now not specifically
and genetically a nation, but an em
pire—a conglomerate of distinct nation
alities dwelling together under the
same laws, but socially separated into
clearily distinct classes. As the state
has ( at least in form ) obliterated the dis
tinctions that grew out of ‘race, color, or
former condition of slavery,’ so some of
us have hoped that the church might
be able practically to do what the state
pretended to do. But socially the white
and colored races are tending to a more
clearly defined distinction, in propor
tion as the latter develop into a proper
individuality, with the aids of increas
ed intelligence and culture. The ques
tion of social equality is not open to
discussion; but social unity among the
two principal races of our citizens is a
rapidly vanishing idea. The hope of
the Africa-American is shut up to the
destiny of his own people; between
them and the Caucasians there may
be—must be—reciprocal, kindly rela
tions, but evidently the two races are
destined to draw apart rather than to
gether. And since all churches, and
especially Protestant churches, and
pre-eminently Methodist churches, are
social bodies; so the social separation
of whites and colored, ipso facto, ne
cessitates the ‘color line.’ To some of
us this necessity is far from being
agreeable, but it is not wise to resist
manifest destiny, and especially so
when it may be the design of the Di
vine Providence to effectuate his own
wise and merciful purposes by another
way than that which we had chosen,
and thought to be the only right way."
In expressing these views Dr. Curry
is not governed by personal prejudice
against the colored race, as the colored
pnople well knew. During his early
ministry he was stationed in Georgia
for several years, and had among his
regnlar attendants a numbej of colored
people. Since they became free he has
been among their warmest friends, and
at the general conference held in this
city three years ago, whatever have
been his opinion of the wisdom of elect
ing a colored bishop, exerted himself
to secure for the colored people the op
portunity to see if the M. E. Church
was ready to elevate a colored man to
the Episcopacy.
Terrible Fire in Milwaukee—Sev
enty-five Lives Lost.
Milwaulkee, Jan. 10.—The new Hall
House, a six-htory block building, on
the corner of Michigan street and Broad
way, was burned to the ground this
morning. The fire was discovered at
4 a. m., and in less than half an hour
the whole building was enveloped in
flames. Scenes of the utmost terror
prevailed. • The inmates of the doomed
building jumped by dozens from the
upper stories, covering the stone side
walk with their lifeless bodies. The
shrieks of the unfortunates filled the
air in a horrid manner. People below
were unable to render any aid. Quite
a number of terrified guests and em
ployes of the hotel appeared at the win
dows, and seeing the distance to the
ground, fell back to perish in the flames.
The employes of the hotel which accom
modated 800 guests, numbered eighty
six, mostly lodged in the sixth story.
Exit by way of the roof was cut off by
fire, and two stand pipes with fire lad
ders were not available for the same
reason. Very few were saved by jump
ing on canvas. It is estimated that 75
persons lost their lives.
Comparatively few of the guests on
the hotel register were burned, and the
exact loss of life is not determinable,
but will reach from fifty to sixty dead
and from twenty to thirty wounded.
So far twenty-three bodies are in the
morgue, and nine more in places near
the ruins. So far as known the fol
lowing are dead. [Here follows a list
of the dead, missing and wounded, none
of whom are from any Southern State,
or known to our readers.]
It may safely be said that sixty per
sons are dead and thirty severely in
jured.
The Mayor called a meeting to or
ganize a salvage corps to search the
ruins. About a week ago the secreta
ry of the local board of underwriters
was appointed to make a rate on the
building, that the locai agencies might
take the risk thereon, as the building
was considered a death-trap and risk
had been refused.
Tom Thumb and party and the Mad
ison Square Company are all safe, so
far as learned. Both troupes were in
the hotel. Mrs. Jno. Gilbert, of the
Minnie Palmer troupe, married only
two days ago, was burned to death in
sight ot a multitude.

Sheehy.
Nashville, Jan. 10.—On tlie eve of
his recent sudden departure from this
city Col. Marsh Tate Polk, Treasurer
of Tennessee, notified his attorney, Mr
John W. Childress, that he would leave
his private box, containing his valuable
papers, with Dr. Wm. Morrow, and
that he wished him (Childress) to take
charge of it, and collect certain drafts,
checks, due bills, notes, etc., on vari
ous persons named, and instructed him
how to appropriate the proceeds of the
collections. Mr, Childress has obtained
the box from Dr. Morrow, and has
made a schedule of the assets therein
contained, and he last night addressed
a document of Hon. B. J. Lea, Attorney
General for the State. Mr. Childress
having personally notified the Attorney
General that the box was in his posses
sion. The contents of the box are val
ued at $114,527.30.
