The contractors expect to have it ready for occupancy about Oct. 1st. Until that time the corps of teachers headed by Prof. H. G.

WASHINGTON. The City of Magnificent Distances With the Light Turned On. Our Capitol City With its Multitude ol Important Matters Culled for our Intelligent ReadersC. A. J'g Budget of News. In the New York Sun of recent date there appeared an interview of a gentle men recently from the West Indies and the opinion of Legitime the exiled king concerning the purported ostracism of Minister Douglass in the Haytien court circles. The reason he ascribes to it if there be any foundation to the story, is that the Havtiens would prefer a white minister, not from color prejudice but from business and domestic arrange ments. Legitime further says that Min ister Douglass took a hand in the island politics when he was in San Domingo and he has not been forgotten. Apropos of this it may be that the Haytien gov ernment may ask that Minister Douglass be recalled, although a good deal of clat ter is being made about his resignation of his own accord. When we consider the monner in which the Colored man is treated in this country and remem ber the whole world is seeing the same it is surprising that a Minister of color is acceptable at any foreign court. Hon. Robert Kennedy of Ohio, has made himself an unenviable reputation in the political world. In the House a few days ago he openly and violently censured the United Senate which is next to the Supreme Court the most au gust, and mighty member of the body politic. If the freedom of the press is often framed upon it is quite correct that freedom of speech be also regulated While this is not a government in which any person or body must be treated with marked respect yet ordinary civiity should make legislators more respectful. Mr. David Fuller, a Colored man, is a consulate clerk under the American Minister at Paris. He has been such since the administration of Buchanan.

The Grand Fountain, Uuited Order of True Reformers, has been holding ses sions here at the Mt. Pisgah Baptist church during the past week. Rev. W.day W. Browne is the leader. The purpose of the association is to create funds, build and establish banks, and generally stimulate prosperity financially amongst the Colored people, beside giving sick benefits, and burial expenses as other benevolent institutions. It was organ ized in Virginia, has a membership of 8,000, controls a bank at Richmond, Va., and has a l^rge building in construction to cost $15 000in which will be a theatre besides the bank. The bank has a capi tal stoce of $100,000, of which $30,000 has been paid up. The enterprise is a great one and success can only be hoped for it. Editor Jno. Mitchell of the Rithmon Planet put it thus in a speech before the Grand Fountain United Order oi True Reformers: "Colored men, be vour own masters, save up your money, love the mighty dollar," he said. I fear that our emancipation froniprejudice in the South depends upon our letting politics severely alone. Rely upon yourselves: Freeze to the mighty dol lar. Set up each other in business. Be honest, as you have always been. You have never been charged with stealing anything more than a chicken, while the white brother has stolen a bank.

AU Colored Preachers in the States of XU inois, Minnesota, Kentucky and Mis souri Eligible to the Contest. The People to Decide. THE APPEAL has heard so much said about the popularity of this preacher oi that preacher, that it has determined to have the people decide the question. And, in order to bring out a full ex pression it has decided to offer a list of prizes to be awarded to the ten most popular preachers in Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and Minnesota. The contest is confined to the four states in which THE APPEAL has offices of publication. The prizes will be awarded according to the number of votes cast for each con testant. LIST OF PRIZES. 1st, Prize, Broadcloth Suit, satin lined, to order, $100.00 2nd, Prize, Gold-headed Cane, 25.00 3rd, Prize, life-size crayon portrait, 15.00 4th, Prize, Silk Hat, 5.00 5th, Prize, THE APPEAL for 2 years, 4.00 6th, Prize, THE APPEAL for 1 year, 7tb, Prize, THE APPEAL for 1 year, 8th, Prize, THE APPEAL for 1 year, 9th, Prize, THE APPEAL for 1 year, 10th Prize, THE APPEAL for 1 year, THE APPEAL can not in common fair ness, advocate the merits of this or that preacher. Two things are of the first importance in order to hope for success. The first is to make selection of a preacher who is possessed of qualities essential to popularity. Having selected a candidate the second step is to work for his success. Let one secure all the ballots possible and at the same time Btii up interest and activity in others. De lay in securing ballots are as dangerous as delays in other mattters. It would worry one much to learn that his or hex condidate might have been elected by a slight extra effort. A few votes may be the difference between the winners and losers. Hence the importance ol early and persistent activity in secunug ballots. The plan of determining who the most popular minister is, is given in order that all may thoroughly under stand.
