of I THE PL ACE WE FILL.
Lto
th We odfer to members of our race not
he only a representative of their interests as
a part of the body politic, but we place at I
on their disposal an organ thr.ough which
he they may be heard on every phase of
to their peculiar grievances. It is well
e- known that colored men are outwitted in
ny nominating conventions, cheated in their
ur contracts, .nd dafeated in their aspira
ll tions because they lack organiz tion
re among themse!lves, or on account of not
possessing a journal which will open its
Sc:)lumias to a full and clear statement of
I ther crses. The habit of command among
property owners, the recollections of crin
gi g submissions among those who were
nI once their victims; the gratitude felt to
1be wards those who assisted in the emanci
e pation and enfranchisement of our race,
r' and thu distrust entertained by those
whose every experience has helped to rob
- them of the feelings of self respect, and to
n wipe out the habit of self-reliance, and
conspired to produce a sort of h >peless
d. i.ess of all relress of wrongs inflicted by
re the class in power, and to make them
ic' ej rgiously uuder-value the aid which
n- colocCd men are able and willing to ren
of l Er one another.
Es Now, the place we design to fill, is to
I m:.::e every colored man in the State feel
se that he has a voice in our c!lumns. We
• do not insist on every man writing a gram
i- a Intically constructed article, nor can we
'" holpe for a display of the graces of com
rs i l,o.stiu,,; all we ask is a plain st:tement of
>k the case in pol:,n. Drop all highsound
r . ini: words which are at once an abomina
! tion to educated taste and a confusion to
e- anyv honest cause; and come to us with a
c full and hearty confidence upon all vital
Ha itters, and we will render our humble
y Le:p in every time of need. We have a
r .t fll of contributors large enough and
a well paid to look after the interests of our
i' l,'',plc while our subscription list isincrea
a iinig to an extent to allow us to reach
.e , :'.most every part of the State. Subscribe
for our paper and send in your commu
n, ict ions, and both will be attended to at
A We are not vain enough to think that
t cur words will reach all who wish them,
v :hat thel will be heeded by all who need
them. The full and binding force of leadl
ur _:.hip among us has not yet been either
r ,cognized or accepted There are those
t whose pruieut ambition to lead has entire
ly untitted them ,to follow.' Some of us
cf ling to a petty ofice with the tenacity of
`-a b.rna(cl to the lfonled bottom of a
ship, and b by bargaining for continued I
I upon a small place, lose the chance
i gettiag a larger. Many will lbtrtcr
.a;,'.y to a white man for a penny what
could be sold to a colored man for a
Spuand.
But when it is once learned that by
c' ,urisel and co-ope'ation, we can, not on
" i: kep what we have, but secure all we de- I
s~ e, the night of degradation will draw t
So its close and the morning sun of hope t
twiil arise with healing in its beams. c
I SELF-DENIAL r
M Mr Sauvinet a colored gentleman went i
in to one of our white saloons and offsred a
twenty five cents for a drink and the bar- t
kepiper suddenly became such an ad
vocate of temperance principles that he c
went down to Judge Dibble's Court and a
I paid a thousand dollars rather than have I
Mr Sauvinet take the drink. Verilvy this F
ise,!fi denis'. When a man is willing to '
gsve a th)uusand dollars to keep another e
en ;, fr-om drinking, he is either on his o
Sway to heaven or to a court of justice. d
roinese peoplle were uncharitable enough fe
ti think ,:. at this saloon keepier refused e
to 7ive JIt. cauvinet a drink because he
thought Mr. Sauvinet was colored, but tl
it .I lawuer in moving for a new hearing ti
Siu his case has silenced for ever all a
Such traducers of his cliant's self-denying
c!.aracteristics. c
It was stated by the lawyer that MIr. n
SSauvinet is white, though Mr. Sauvinet a
'Kcntends that he is colored. Now if any p
S'ct of self-denial can eclipse that of a ,
sAloon keeper who throws away a thou- :
sand dollars to prevent a man from h
i lrhxking a beverage which he makes a a
1 13ag by selling, this lawyer has eclipse- a
cd it. He has surrendered his personal
prejudices to professional success with a tI
Sgrace and liberality difficult to he found w
in a member of the bar. Where was a
this lawyer when Messrs. Bell and ft
Shadd applied for admission to the
Supreme Court ? Surely he could not c
have been in court ; had he been, he w
would have sworn by all th'e books from at
Bl'ckstine to PVttif.g that Belil was ni
whi'"-that is if ho goes by the sight of b
I his eves. But this ease admits of another tt
I suposition : perhaps this lawyer goc t rn
Iby \ieighI. If so the who:e ca is intel- a
ligible ; for since slavery has bLeen n
iabo:ishelI no ma~n's mere color i; worth a cc
a thousand do!hlars to buay. Now if the pi
Ssalo.:u keecr be'..me s chagrinedl at the i O
Si::position of the zine that he oLfered to t h,
Ipy h the thousand dollars to the lawyer if jo
he coald save him from the penalty of
peviug it to Sauvinet, the lawyer had p1
very weighty reasons for trying thel
somewhat desperate experiment of at
>t tempting to make Judge Dibble believe
is that "black is white." A thousand dollars
it will buy a tloasand drinks and some
h people think the best drinks are
)f those which are bought with other peo
11 pl'.4 money; if then both the lawyer and
n the saloon koeler thought they could
it get back from Mr. Sauvinet thethousand
r dollars, Judge Dibble had awarded him
n and spend it in treating every colored
t man they met with the view of proving
s the sincerity of their conversion to the
)f civil rights bill, we are glad to record
g an act of self-denial that eclipses the
i- former deeds of even these gentlemen.
e After all we may be on the eve of a
º- greater change than any of our former
i- suppositions imply. When white men
a begin to disbelieve our own words as to
e our partial connection with the African
b race, it is time for the whole continent
o of Africa to tremble. In the olden time
i the whites used to put us in some social,
civil or political corner and subject us
y to a piisio-chemical process to find out
if there was one drop on African blood in
b any of our veins and if they found it they
would squeeze it till a negro insurrec
tion come forth in response ; but now
o the danger is that they will wash us and
1 comb us until we become as white as Al
e binos, or soap and water failing they
will carry out Hood's idea of gilding
3 us yellow when they can not make us
white, and then change the effort from
f "making black white" to making yellow
blue-at least in the veins.
If these mencan disprove our origin.they
may dalso deny our identity, confiscate our
a property and rob us of our very wives and
I daughters on the ground that the latter are
white. Hero is a new and terrific danger ;
a there are so many colored men who are
I passing for white and so many others
r whom it would appear will not be allow
ed hereafter to pass for colored, that
m things threaten to become hopelessly
a mi:;ed.
- There may be one refuge left us-the
t lawyer may have been "bamboozling us."
Said an old limb of the law to his son,
t "In your practice always stand by the
law when the evidence is against you."
1 "What must I do when the law is against
- me ?" "Then," said the father, "stand
r by the evidence." 'But suppose law and
and evidence are both against me ?"
S"Well, then-why talk 'round it my son,
talk 'round it." Our lawyer, with betah
law and evidence against him must have
been talking round it for a thousand
[I dollars a heat. L
ABOUT TOWN. t
BY OU'R RarOnT R. t
Alhough things are dull in Dryades q
str~et, there are still many of the ment- t,
bers of both houses in town. It is said a
that a party of gentlemen re resenting e
the Fifteenth Amendment, and other a
constituencies, are preparing for a sum
mer flight North, and that some of them a
may sustain themselves on the wing as f
far as Europe. Go on, boys, but don't v
be tempted into that city of black cats ti
meat and red republicanism, if you do, L
the pelican may scream for you in vain. t
We learn that Senator Barber has dis- h
covered a very valuable sulpher spriug 0o
upon his new property on Canal street.
Its medicinal properties have been high- C
ly spoken of by those who have used it l
"B!ue lick" is high, but we trust the gen- 4
oral may be able to beat it by the power
of a Ulio' view---evn green will not be l
despisable if it has a back. How is thai :
for bad pun-ishment of the queenis
english.
There wasan enthusiastic meeting in the
third ward last Saturday night-so en
thusiastic that the meeting consisted of
all speakers and no hearers Mr. Sella
Martin had been invited to address the
club, and somebody had concocted some
resolutions, and the confusion seemed to
arise from a disposition to bully the
president on one side and to prevent the
resolutions from being road on the other.
The president introduced Mr. Martin who
had the dfloor taken from him by a man B
who said he thought no man ought to be
a legislator whose children were not born I
with shoes on their feet. Somebody said th
that would be bad business for him as he P'
was a shoemaker, and the retort was
made that it would be.a great deal worse
for those who had to manufacture shoes i
' the way proposed. Finally the shoes th
ae down at the heel and the meeting to
went slipshod. Then there sprung np
an anxiety about benches. A number of di
men in seeking to get the dfloor took the
benuches-the owner of them thought 9
tfhey were going to take them off: and he
rose to give them a word of advice but
as everybody had been advising his
ueighlbor for a half hmour, and nobody
could hear what the other said, and the I
president had sought in vain to restore y e
order that an invited guest might be in
heard, the meeting waa declared ad- of
journed. at
Our reporter caleulated among the al
people after the meeting to ascertain the .st
be cause of the rumpus and it was said on
at- all hands that men had been released at
ve an early hour from their work on the
is streets to go to the club and vote for er
na tain resolutions although they were not
re members of the club. We trust in the name
o- of fairness this is not so, but there is an
id easy remedy for any such interference a
Id and that is to vote by ayes and nays.
ad For the honor of the old third we trust
m no more such scenes as Saturday night
1d will be exhibited.
ig The fourth ward club held its regn
be lar meeting on Monday night last,
rd and Senator Pinchback delivered an
le address on the coming issues of the
campaign for which he received a unani

m RELIGIOUS ITEMS AMONG US.
Rev. Wilber G. Strong. preached last
sd sunday night at St James Chapel to an
ad overflowing house and the bearers paid
1marked attention to a discourse of an
hours length. The reverend gentleman
was in one of his most happy moods.
He ilucidated his text with a clearness that
showed a careful and intellegent study of
it, and handled his general gubject with
the ease and grace which have united to
put him among the first preachers in col- I
ored denominations. We shall hail with
ioy the day when we will be able to leave
th , word color out of every thing religious
and when that time arrives Mr.Strong will
be among the first to take rank with and
get the same salary as white men of his
calibre of mind.
L We congratulate the people of Mobile
in possessing so able a minister of the
1e gospel and so fearless an advocate of
republican principlo.. For a long time
MIr. Strong has been known as an
efficient and uncompromising advocate t
of the equality of all men in the North, i
it and though for the last year or more he '
d has had to prove his sincerity, like Paul,
Sby working with his own hand; we are t
glad to learn that he is no longer in the t
LPost Office at Mobile but has tlme to
devote to those brnevwlent works in wl.ich
hlheso much delights.
L -1isl:o) Talbot of the A. M. E. ,i ioZ

Couioren.ee here last week. We are gl'd
to know that the interest of tha:t branch i
of the church is in such able hands, and h
trust that the strides already made bya
this deno;mination since the war, will be qa
a quickened and increased until the mi'is- d

5 for the noble work he has done by de
t voting a part of his wealth to the educa- T
tion of our colored youth, in founding ,
Leeland University, was in the city yesa
terday. We visited the University with
him, and the school held in the basement ,]
of Mr. 8atchell's church. h:
The address delivered by Deacon el
Chamberlain to the children was entire- s
ly characteri.stic of the man. Thought- n
ful, kind, and instructive, it was at the be
same time intensely practical. The chil- cc
dcren seemed delighted at the fatherly jo
words of one who had contributed so -
much towards their education, comfort ct
and general elevation. We trust thatimany in
more snch friends will be raised up to p
assist us in our poverty and eager as
search after knowledge. i

e BLUE BLOOD AND THE BLA(C
BY &A. AL
S. The upheaval of the war threw to ti
ea surface elements hitherto unknown to th
Smagic circle of American aristocracy e,
sons were quite as eager to take the
as they were unprepared to ill the plae
which hertofore was supposed to b,
r. sacred to culture, position and weals.
and although the old families demurrd
scorned, and finally decided that the
could not condescend to associate sit
the wife of a plebian Pre-ident, and wi
drew their patronage and delicate proe
ence from his assemblies, they were ar
prised to find that the wheels of Govern
it mn t still rolled on, and they were bei'
n forgotten in the new order of thing
d Positions of trust and emolument Wet
not seeking them as they felt sure the
n must. They were occupied by new ap
n ants for honors. The vanishing r
a. sources of the blue veins compelled ania
st to peep out of their shells of isolat
I, graudeur, firmly believing that they would
be importuned to come forth and lea
and instruct the uncouth and motie
0 horde; but, as no one was looking t
[- taem, they quietly and shuddering.
h came forth into the world again, sighzna
e over the lost cause, lamenting that they
were reduced from the theory to the
s practice of Democracy, and doubting
11 whether they would be able to survive i
I the air from which all aristocracy had bee
e extracted. There was, however, one atom
of comfort left,-aristocratic foreignen
might relieve them from the necessity of
o mingling with upstarts, and enable tem
e to endure the presence they could not
f banish from reception halls. But justas
they were beginning to lay aside their
habilaments of chagrin, and allow a
1 smile to illumine their faces, and even
e condescend so much as to nod patrwn.
izinely to some fomerly obscure I~rsons,
who had become prominent officals, and
accept the doctrine, that what cannot
, be cured, must be endured, a ruore
e terrible shock assailed them. A pre.
e ecce, as unexpected as it was unwelvce,m,
wats hr:alded. The Republic of Horti
had sent to this Gover:ument, as A.ubs:.

The tremor at last sul.sid(d into a eal:,i

social recognition of the negro- ladies at
least need not be introduced. But just
listen to this from the newspapers:
"Arrised at the Arlington:--Gen.
Tate, Ambassador Extraordinary, and
Minister Plenipotentiary of Hayti, and
wife."
"And wife?" asked the blue vein
"has he had the a-dacity to bring
his wife! I will make her regret that she
ever pres umed to thrust herself upon ut;
she shall be left most severely alone, and
any one attempting to recognise her must

-glad as ever to find a place where they
could join to keep somebody out, and feel

question, "where are they?" ".Ther
don't you see them on the raised dias,
that is her, that elegant looking womani
in that superb dress, talking to Secretary

Paris, and has spent most of her life there,
you ses that she has the unmistakablir
of high breeding." "What' they on th
