TOBUILPHISOW.XFITPItE WHAT HON. C. H. J. TAYLOR WANTS THE NEGRO TO DO. To Think for Himself in Politics and Vote the Democratic Ticket—To Give Up all Idea of Social Equality-To Call Himself a Negro—The Remarka ble Career of the Liberian Minister. Hon. Charles H. J. Taylor, United States Minister, resident, and Consul General at Monrovia, Liberia, and Barrister in the United States Supreme Court, is in the city, having come here to begin a work to which he means to devote all his energies for the remainder of his life. He is a negro and his career is a remarkable one. He started in life as a slave, but has risen to a high position, in which he is respected by all who know him. He will, in the future, occupy his time exclusively in the work of elevating ’ his race. He is by far the most advanced man of his race and he dubs himself “the champion of anew idea.” He became so prominent by bis appointment to the Ministry of Libe ria that "a sketch of his life will not be out of place, particularly as he lived in Savan nah for 3ome years. He was born in Marion, Perry county, Alabama, in 185(5, a slave. At the close of the war be obtained his freedom, but he re mained at his ol i home, where his parents staid, until 1808, when he came to Savan nah. He began here as a newsboy, selling the Morning News, or as it was styled then, the News and Herald , and he was soon recognized as the most successful of ail newsboys. He sold more papers than any other boy, running as high as 175 to 20J a day. Ho left here in 1871 and went to Ann Arbor, Mich. He had saved his money, and he continued to do so while there. He worked in the day, and attended school at night. Finally lie prepared himself for col lege, eml by that time he had accumulated money enough to pay the expenses of his education. BECOMES A. LAWYER. He took a three years course at the University and graduated in law. From there be went to Ma rion, Grant county, Ind., and began the practice of law. Two months after he set tled in the town he obtained a case, defend ing a white man who was charged with murder, and his defen -e was so able and his speech so eloquent, that Charles W. Watkins, the District Attorney, appointed him his deputy. After living in Marion for a while he found that the negroes who acquired money and education invariably deserted their own race . and courted the whites, and he was so dis gusted with their conduct in despising their own people as soon as they rose above them, instead of going among them and trying to raise them to their own level, that he left Marion and went to Kansas City, where there were numbers of negroes, and more were constantly going. They com posed only one-sixth of the population of Kansas City, but Taylor’s excellent charac ter and ability made him so popular with the white people (hat he was appointed City Prosecuting Attorney, which position be held untiil he wa. app-luted to the Liberian mission. At o< time, when there was a vacancy on the bench of the district com posed of Jo inson, Wyandotte and Miami counties, he was run as an independent candidate for the judgeship, and he came within a few votes of being elected. When he offered himself as a candidate for the Liberian mission, his cause was strongly ad vocated by Dr. Morrison Mumford, of the Kansas City Times, and his strongest friends in the Senate were Senators Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, and Seuator Coekrell, of Mis ouri, though Senators Vest, of Missouri, Brown and Colquitt, of Georgia, and Daniels, of Virginia, worked hard for him, and every Democrat.c Sena tor on the floor voted for him. WHY HE RESIGNED HIS MISSION. The reason which he gives for resigning his mission is that the climate of Liberia is so exceedingly unhealthy, and because he thinks he can do more good for his people by coming back to this country than Dy re maining in Africa. The ex-Minister was seen last night for the purpose of obtaining his views on the negro question. He is a man who would attract attention anywhere. He is short in stature and stoutly built. He is a dark mulatto and wears a moustache and im perial. His eye is bright and he shows his intelligence in bis face. He is a nervous speaker and grows very enthusiastic when he speaks of the question which is an all absorbing one to him. He limps slightly and he says that every time he limps he shows his fealty to the Democratic party, for he was shot in the leg in 1876 by some negroes in South Carolina, when he was working against the Chamberlain dynasty. He dresses plainly but neatly, but he can afford to dress well, for he is worth over #40,000. He says that his rule has been whenever ho made $1 to save 50c. of it, and if he wanted anything and could not get it without spending part of that 50., he would go without it. Li introducing the subject of the future of the negro he was asked: “To what special reform will you, as a col ored man, devote yourself?” “I beg your pardon,” he replied, “but I am not a colored man I am a negro. I object to the term colored man. It is apologetic in the first place and incorrect in the second. It implies that we are ashamed of our name. We arc not. It is true that the negroes always call another a ‘nigger’ as a term of contempt. Those who do so are the uneducated, and they must be taught better. There is i lothing contemptu ous in the name negro. If we can make our way in the world, educate ourselves and ac quire wealth, we will be just as much re spected when called negroes as if we are i -ailed by any other name. It is we and not our name who make ourselves respected or despised. Besides negro is our national name—l do not care whether you spell it with a big or little n—jnst as Irish is the name of those who come from Ireland. NEGRO, NOT COLORED MAN. “It is incorrect for two reasons. Black is not a color, and therefore the black man cannot be a colored man. When you say colored man it seems as if you implied that someone hail come around with a paint pot and brush ami colored us. It is hot so. We were born lilacs. No, I detest the term colored man. I want the national name. But as to the future of the negroes. My aim and object in seeking to make myself distinguished is to reach a position to make them listen to me. lam only 31 years old, the youngest man in the diplomatic service, and my jieople .will not pay any atten tion to a man, particularly a young man, unless he is known and to a certain extent distinguished. They want a negro to be backed by the white people liefore they will hear him. I have placed myself in that position, and now I have resigned to go back among them, and help them to rise. The doctrines that. I will teach them, is to abominate miscegenation and absorption into the white race, and to •■ease to look to the white race for constant aid, and to give up this nonsensical idea of social equality. If a white man and negro were to sit down to the table to eat dinner together, the appetites of neither would be sharpened by tho company of the ot er. and if a negro Imv is dull and stupid he will not learn a particle more if he sits next to a bright, shrewd white boy in school. I heartily despise a negro man, who, having risen above his race, marries a white woman, or a negro woman, who, if she obtains money and an education, marries a white man; for, in the first place, the white people that they will marry are the lowest or their race, of the tramp order; and in the second, the negroes have deserted their people and their sphere, and turned against their people instead of using their advantages for the benefit of their race. THE SOCIAL EQUALITY (JtKSTrON. “A want tu make the negro indopcndunt He can never accomplish anything while he is thinking of trying to get into white so ciety. He must learn to make a society of his own, and ho must consider that society the best that there is. He must have pride in his own people and his own society. Even if he could get into white society, it would be a bad thing for him, for the best society for him is the black society. The Spaniards must succeed as Spaniards, the Germans as Germans, the Americans as Americans, and the negroes as negroes. The Germans could never accomplish a thing if they, as a race, were trying to become Americans. They must remain Germans and look upon the Germans as the best iieople in tho world or they cannot progress, and so must tho ne gro. I want the negroes to cut loos from the whites and depend upon themselves lor a living instead of looking always to the whites for support. I want them to buy their own farms, build their own homes, school houses aud churches, run their own hotels have some insurance companies of their own, do their own business, be honest aud have confidence in each other. They must educate themselves, and they will learn to make and save money, and after a while they may have their owu railroads and banks. Politically, I want to divide the vote, and I have come here to do it. I want them to think for themselves in politics, and not think by proxy. They have let the Republidan party think for them, but I want them to stop ihat and do their own thinking. Then they will learn that the Democratic party is their friend and that they have only been used as a club by the Republicans to beat the Democrats with.” Taylor will lecture on Liberia at the Second African Baptist church on Tuesday, Dec. 27, and he will then tell the negroes the difference between them and the people of their race in their mother country. ON RAIL. AND CROoSTIE. Local and General Gossip in Railway Circles. John H. Inman says there is no question but the dividend on Richmond and West Point Terminal preferred stock will be paid on Jan. 1. It is said that Col. Charles H. Phinizy, President of the Georgia railroad, has ordered something very elegant in the shape of a private ear. This will be a handsome Christmas present to himself and a comfort able companion all the year round. The annual meeting of the Traveling Pas senger Agents’ Association will be held in Jacksonville Jan. 16. The local committee of railroad men is making extensive prep arations, and a grand time is anticipated. The visiting agents will not only be banquet ed but will be tendered numerous excur sions to various points of interest and, in fact, no amount of paing or money will be spared in making the meeting there one of the pleasantest they have ever held.

When he rapped a second time some wag inside called out, ‘Come in!’ There were at least fifty passengers in the car. He began at the front seat, shaking hands with every one clear to the back end, and asking each, ‘How d’ye do?” and then ‘How’s ye’r folks?’ Of course it was a regular cir cus for the passengers. He lived forty miles back in the country, and had never seen a train before. OVER IN CHARLESTON. The Day’s Doings in South Carolina’s Metropolis. There were thirty-seven deaths in Charles ton last week, twelve of white and twenty five of colored people. Dr. W. B. Derrick, of New York, who has been attending the Georgia Conference here, spoke in Charleston last night on “The Past, Present and Future of the Negro in America.” Dr. Derrick is one of the ablest colored divines in this country. He is also a promiuent politician, and is a member of the Republican State Central Committee of New York. The Charleston Cotton Mill will be sold Jan. 17.

The mill aud machinery will be sold, sub ject to the existing mortgage of $250,000, on the following terms: $40,000 cash on the day of sale and the balance within ninety days, with iuterest. THE VACANCY IN THE COUNCIL. A Suggestion that is Worthy of Very Careful Consideration. Editor Morning News: I take this method of suggesting Mr. Charles H. Dorsett to fill the vacancy iu the B >ard of Aldermen occasioned by the death of our esteemed fel low-citizen, R. D. Bogart, Esq. Mr. Dor sett is a man of untiring euerg and indus try, and endowed with unusual good judg ment in every detail of business. His busi ness career has been a successful one, and his devotion to the advancement of the moral and material prosperity of this his native city is too well known to make it necessary to refer to it more particularly in this com munication The board, whose duty is to fill the vacancy, would find in Mr. Dorset a worthy successor to Mr. Bogart, and one who would be a valuable addition to their number.

DRUMMERS KICK AGAINST SLEEP ING BERTH RATES. The Pullman Company to be Hauled Before the Railroad Commission for Violating the Laws in Regard to Charges—The T. P. A. to Make a Test Case. The Pullman Palace Car Company will be brought up for trial before the Georgia Railroad Commission shortly on a charge of violating the rules of the commission in regard to the charges for sleeping berths The rule which the commission has made is that for distances of less than 100 miles, a sleeping car company may charge not more than $1; from 100 to 150 miles le. per mile extra; for more than 150 miles the charge may tie $3. The Pull man Company, however, charge $2 a berth, no matter whether the distance is less or more than 100 miles, aud the Railroad Com mittee of Post D, S ivannah Travelers’ Pro tective Association has resolved to break up that charge, which it considered arbitrary and unlawful, and compel the company, if possible, to comply with the rules laid down by the Commission. MAKING THE TEST. One of the members of that committee got on a Pullman car at Way cross on the night of Oct. 29, aud in order to make a test case he tendered $1 in payment. The por ter refused to receive it,' The committee man urged that he was entitled to the berth for sl, as the distance from Wavcross to Savannah was only ninety-six miles. The porter, howevgr, positively declined to let him have the berth for less than the regular charge, and the $2 was paid under protest, and a receipt taken. The matter was reported to the Railroad Committee of Post D, which addressed a let ter to the Railroad Commission stating the position which it took, and inquiring if its interpretation of the commission’s rules was correct. A reply was received from the Secretary of the commission in which be stated that the committee had interpreted the law cor rectly, and he also en losed a copy of the rules with the ones which are anplicable marked. Upon receipt of this the committee wrote to Mr. H. Porter, local manager of tho Pullman Car Company, stating the facts and’ asking that the overcharge be refunded. No re sponse was received, and two weeks after the date of this letter another wa- written telling Mr. Porter that unless a reply was received by Nov. 25 the matter would be closed. THE T. P. A. IGNORED. Mr. Porter answered that letter and said that the first communication h.ul bean for warded to the Division Superintendent, who had sent it to the general officers in Chica go, who were the only ones who had power to act. The committee waited two weeks more, not desiring to press the matter, and then wrote to the general officers giving a full statement of the case. The letter said that Post D was not pressing the matter in any spirit of hostility, but simply to make a test case to ascertain the rights of travelers under the rulings of the Georgia Railroad Commission, and in closing it said that the committee wouid wait until Dec. la for an answer, and if one was not received before then it would take the matter before the commission. No answer has yet been received, and as soon as possible the committee will report the matter to the commission and have the matter investigated. It will probably be a lively fight for the Pullman Comriany has charged $3 for berths tor all distances ever since it has been established, and it will have no desire to make a change, for if it is com jielled to regulate its charges iu Georgia ac cording to tue distance the passenger travels, it mav be required to do the same thing iu every other State, and such a reformation would cause it a loss of thousands of dollars per annum.
