There are 22,000 colored voters in
Ohio.
For incorrect and unreliable accounts
of the political meetings held by col
ored voters we recommend the Leader.
We wonder if the Leader had a
short-hand reporter at the Independent
meeting last Monday night to take the
Hon. J. P. Green’s impromptu address.
A German nominates Ben. Butler for
our next President and Frederick
Douglass for Vice-President through
the columns of the New York Globe.
Mr. Blaine’s history will contain a
picture of Ex-Senator Bruce, and will
speak m very fitting terms of him,
Fred. Douglass and other prominent
colored men.
We take great pride and pleasure in
calling the attention of our readers to
our advertising columns, as the firms
represented in them are well known
and stand at the head es all others in
their lines.
Who is to represent us in the Na
tional Convention at Louisville? The
State of Ohio should send at least one
delegate to this convention, and it looks
as if this one must come from Northern
Ohio, if at all. Will n< 5 some one of
our intelligent citizens call a meeting?
If some of our prominent Republi
cans were more like Mahone, of Vir
ginia, the colored press throughout the
country would not be advising the col
ored voter to be independent, and, as
the case is with some, be Democratic.
Our Washington letter should be
read carefully by pvery colored voter in
the country. So much valuable news
and interesting reading matter seldom
is seen in any one letter. See what
Mahone has clone for our people in Vir
ginia, both educationally and politic
ally.
The Democratic Central Committee
is sending the Afro-American to nearly
every colored voter in Cuyahoga Coun
ty “free gratis,” while the Republican
Committee is trying to do-nothing for
the colored voter and is succeeding ad
mirably. The following is from the
Toledo letter in the Detroit Plaindeal
er: “A Democratic flank movement:
One day last week Mr. Harmon, the
chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee, called on the Rev.
T. H. Jackson for the pur
pose, as he said, of obtaining
a correct list of the colored voters of
the city, as he intended to send them
the Afro- American “free gratis.” But
Mr. Jackson, knowing on what side of
the fence the Afro is, gave Mr. Har
mon to understand that he w ,s not on
that side of the question.”
The sale of thejiew postal notes be
gan last Monday. Agents, and persons
wishing to subscribe for the Gazette,
read carefully:
The new postal notes went into use
last Monday. They are intended to fa
cilitate the sending of small sums of
money by mail. By the present ar
rangement, a money order for a sum
less than $1 cannot be obtained. Many
people hesitate about purchasing such
an order for the transmission of a sum
less than $5, and prefer to run the
chance of loss rather than incur the ex
pense. It is to meet both these classes
that the postal note is provided. By
its use any sum of money between one
cent and $4.99, inclusive, can be sent
by mail. The expense will be but three
cents, and the note is payable for three
months after date, when it will have to
be re-issued. By its invention the send
ing of small sums, which hitherto have
been risked in silver, is made possible.
The Department anticipate a heavy sale
of the new notes.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1883.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. ’Ns.
The Herald of last Monday errs when
it states that the convention to be held
in Louisville is intended to be a repre
sentative gathering of Southern gen
tlemen. The North is to be largely
represented, as well as the South. The
time for holding this convention is al
most at hand, and although Ohio is en
titled to four delegates, none have been
elected. Not even a preliminary meet
ing to a State Convention has been held.
The representative colored men of
New York convened last week Wed
nesday evening in the parlors of the
Summer House and perfected an or
ganization which is to so exert its influ
ence by independence and aggressive
action as to receive forttie colored men
of that city the recognition that is not
accorded them by either political party,
but which is due the colored voter be
cause of his numerical strength. Here
in the Forest City the colored vote
seems very much divided. One
faction is using every effort possi
ble to form a Foraker and Rose
club, with as yet, very poor success.
The other faction is putting forth stren
uous efforts to organize an Independent
Club. Here the matter stands at pres
ent. • The latter faction held a meeting
the past week with about the same suc
cess as the former. With the vote thus
divided, the Democratic State Execu
tive Committee is sending the Afro-
American in here to nearly every col
ored voter in the county, endeavoring
to draw the majority of the colored
vote to the Democratic party. That
the colored Republican voters of this
county have received almost no rec
ognition for their long and unswerving
fidelity to the Republican party, is a no
torious fact which every intelligent cit
izen recognizes. And when intelligent
colored voters see men of every nation
ality but their own placed in positions
because of the vote they represent and
not for their especial fitness, it is but
natural that they begin to think and
talk independently ami vote according
to the dictations of their minds, and not
with party blindness. The colored
voter clung and still clings to the Re
publican party as no other nationality
on earth would, and be repeatedly ig
nored as they have. The success of
this party this fall in Ohio depends
largely upon the unanimity of the col
ored vote, and if the colored voters
throughout the State are as divided as
they arc here (and they are more so),
it would certainly be policy for the Re
publican party to give this vote more
attention. The cry that wc have not
men who are capable of holding ofiice
cannot to-day be truthfully raised.
When the colored voter demands the
recognition which is due him for long
and substantial support given, he is not
using “unprincipled' language” and
“tryingtosell the colored vote,” as some
sheets continually cry. We have young
voters m the persons of W. L. F. Milli
gan, W. H. Clifford, James Snyder,
and a host of others, who are
capable of filling most any po
sition that either party can offer.
It seemed unnecessary for us to say that
we are not Democratic, therefore we
did not do so. For any person reading
the Gazette carefully and intelligently
can readily see that we are stern ad
vocates of the race’s rights, and not
the hireling of any man or party. But
between the two evils, the Democratic
party and the Republican party, we
freely say we prefer the Republican
party. But that does not, and shall
not hinder us from arraigning the
party and its leaders for mismanage
ment and unfair treatment of the col
ored voter.
MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Fisk Jubilee singers will prob
ably leave this country next spring for
a three years’ tour in Europe.—Chas.
McAfee, harpist, and A. Bowman,
of Bowman & Boston’s orchestra,
have returned from Little Mountain.—
Miss Amelia L. Tilghman, a very fine
soprano, of Washington, D. C., while
walking on a street in Saratoga one day
last week, was almost fatally injured
by a brick falling from a building in
course of construction. Miss Tilghman
but recently recovered from a spell of
sickness, which confined her to her bed
for many months. She is a sweet-voiced
singer, an amiable lady, and one of the
most popular of the public school teach
ers. She was the leading soprano in
the Bethel A. M. E. troupe, which met
with such success North. The sad ac
cident to its leader has disorganized the
troupe.—Mr. Charles Harper and the
Harper Sisters, with Prof. T. C. Small,,
of Cincinnati, have joined the Hyers
Combination. Elijah Smith, formerly
with Callender’s, will be the tenor of
the troupe, and Prof. Noble, of Youngs
town, 0., pianist. The troupe is in
Chicago.
Fourteen pieces of bone were taken
from the skull of Miss Amelia L. Tilgh
man.
Misses Alice Strange and Lulu Cook
left for Washington, D. C., last evening.

What They Have Rone for the Colored

Greenbrier White Sulphur)
Springs, W. Va., >
Sept. 3, 1883. )
All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy, is a common but true saying.
Observation and experience teach that
persons whose professions require great
butlay of .brain force, and whose busi
ness keeps them closely confined, need
test and change, and that those who
are fortunate enough to secure a relax
ation from duty during a portion of the
hot season, live longer on the average,
and are better prepared mentally and
physically to perform their labors.
With the thought expressed above run
ri^g through his mind, your corre
spondent on Tuesday evening, August
28lh, with satchel in hand, boarded the
Virginia Midland train at the Baltimore
and Potomac depot, and hied him to
the White Sulphur Springs, the Sara
toga of the South. Being no exception
to newspaper men, who always carry
small-sized pocket-books, and that, too,
btit poorly filled, he secured board and
hj^ginoj in a private family in close
proximity to the waters and the privi
leges of the grounds.
The White Sulphur Springs are the
best known and most celebrated of the
numerous springs distributed through
the Virginias, both on account of its
grand mountain scenery and the medic
nial properties of its waters. The
springs are beautifully located in a
basin two thousand feet above the level
of the sea. hemmed in by ranges of the
Alleghenies. Within this natural in
dfosure are many gently sloping hills.
There are no inlets to the plateau pro
vided by nature, and formerly travelers
to reach the springs were obliged to
pass over the mountains. Now two tun
nelc are cut, one at the eastern and the
other at the western extremity of the
basin, to provide a passage-way for the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad.
The buildings consist of a main hotel
and numerous cottages surrounding it.
The hotel dining-room will comfortably
seat 1,500 persons. One cottage is call
ed the President’s cottage, and was
re^marly occupied each season by Van
Buren when he was President. The
names given to the rows of cottages
ar*Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Virginia,
«and second. Carolina, Louisiana,
>ama, Baltimore, Paradise and Tan
sus, the preference in naming being
given to the Southern States. The
grounds are laid off in promenades,
plats for lawn tennis and croquet.
Lovers’ Walk is the most beautiful and
picturesque place imaginable. It is of
a meandering character, on the brow of
a precipice, and is designated at partic
ular points by courtship maze, hesitan
cy, rejection, acceptance, lovers’ rest,
lovers’ leap’and way to paradise. For
the further accommodation and amuse
ment of guests there are music stands,
a bath-house, photograph gallery, ten
pin alley and race course. 1 must not
fail to mention the “Tiger.” Would
that it, by whatever name known, was
banished not only from every summer
resort and watering place, but banished
from the land, for in these houses many
a fortune has been gambled away, and
in consequence men and their families,
as it were, shipwrecked.
The medicinal properties of the waters
were known more than a century aaro
by settlers in this part of the country,
and was a favorite resort for hunters in
pursuit of wild game. Before the war
the springs were a famous resort for
the Southern aristocracy, and was
owned by a family of Caldwells. The
elder, James Caldwell, retiring from the
management of the estate, his son Wil
liam became proprietor. In 1856 he
borrowed three hundred thousand dol
lars, two hundred thousand of which
were spent in building a new hotel, and
in improving the grounds, the remain
ing one hundred thousand being used
to purchase furniture. Everything
seemed to warrant success, when the
war came. This proved the financial
ruin of the Caldwells, for the Govern
ment seized the buildings and used
them for a hospital. A year ago the
springs were sold by order of court,
and bought by a stock company for five
hundred thousand five hundred dollars,
Mr. William H. Stewart being the prin
cipal stockholder. The management
is now in the hands of a New
York man. For forty-five consec
utive years up to 1883 M. Walker
Lewis, of Washington, a gentleman of
means and widely known, was head
waiter. He seemed a fixture here. His
services must have been appreciated
and he held in the highest regard, for I
hear on every hand kind words of
Walker Lewis. Many predict that he
will be recalled, as some of the old
guests refuse to return to the Springs
unless he is reinstated in the place he
held so long and so creditably. It is
probable, however, that Mr. Lewis’
services cannot be secured, as I under
stand he contemplates retirement from
business. The guests this summer
have been mostly from the Eastern and
Western States, and at the height of
the season reached fifteen hundred per
sons. There are about eight hundred
here now. President Arthur stopped
here for one day, July 30, on his way
to the Louisville Exposition. Most of
the help employed are colored, and this
leads me to make a remark on an im
portant question.
Most of the domestics employed in
the South are colored. I notice that
Northern people bring with them here
Irish or German servants. Many fam-
flies 'are beginning to employ
white domestics. Work of this
kind can be made a stepping-stone to
the higher grades of labor. It must not
be despised. There is a certain dignity
in all kinds of labor. A good domestic
is as essential in her spherer as the school
teachei is in his. Waiting is a business,
and cannot be properly done by a novice.
It must be learned. An experienced
waiter is one who can always find em
ployment, and he has an honorable way
of making his living. The complaint is
made that colored domestics are in some
instances negligent and untrustworthy.
There is undoubtedly some truth in this
complaint, for Northern white help is
constantly being imported into the
South to take the place of colored help.
We are to entertain no sick, false senti
ment about this matter. We are called
upon to handle it without gloyes, for it
is one that materially concerns the in
terest of the colored race. Colored men
must make a living. We are to do what
our hands find to do. We are to aspire
to do what other people do. We are to
engage in diversified labor as oppor
tunity otters. We must see to it that
our ohildren are educated, learn trades
and enter the higher professions; but
we are not to despise what our fathers
and brethren have been and are now
compelled to do for want of better op
portunities in their younger days.
The colored people about here are-in
better circumstances than I had ex
pected to find them. There were pointed
out to me the other day in a part of the
settlement known as Dry Creek, fifteen
frame houses and one brick house owned
by colored men. Rev. Mr. Wiley, a
colored Baptist minister, has fine prop
erty near the Springs, as also has Mr.
Peter Holmes. The people are imbued
with the spirit of getting land. They
have wisely reached the conclusion that
in order to become a power in this coun
try they, must become owners of the soil.
Having heard so many reports to the
contrary, I was agreeably surprised to
find that in this section white men were
willing to sell land to their black neigh
bors. Surely this indicates a change
for the better in the feeling of Southern
whites toward the blacks.
We have conversed with a number of
Virginians here. They speak well of
Senator Mahone. They say the Read
juster party will carry the next Legis
ture notwithstanding some Republicans
have united with the Democrats to beat
Mahone. The erv is anything to beat
Mahone. A short time after Mahone
was elected Senator, your correspond
ent, with a prominent gentleman from
New Jersey, was accorded an in
terview with the Senator at the
Arlington Hotel in Washington. Mr.
Mahone said that the Republican
party in Virginia had done noth
ing for the colored man. The organi
zation Was kept up by the white men
in the State to control all the offices.
No colored man in the State had been
given a place of any importance. Nor
could the colored people reasonably ex
pect any consideration from the old
Bourbon Democrat. Their only salva
tion was with the Re-adjuster party.
‘We will,” said he, “abolish the poll tax,
whiqh operates principally against the
black man, as in many instances he is
not prepared to pay when t'-e payment
is demanded, though the tax is small.
We will give them a fair division of the
school fund. We will build them suita
ble school-houses, and give them com
petent teachers of their own race.
They shall have their share of the
offices.” That interview was published
at the time referred to in the Washing
ton Item, and every word of it has
come true. The poll-tax has been abol
ished. The colored people have al
most twice as many schools as they
had before Mahone got control of the
State. Colored school teachers have
been appointed in the schools, and col
ored trustees over them. The State is
building at Petersburg a normal school
and institute for colored.youth. Scores
of Virginians have been l appointed to
places of trust in the State and in the
departments at Washington. The con
dition of the colored people is better to
day in Virginia than it ever was be
fore, and all through Mahone. He has
given the State a political prominence
that it has not had for years. He has
been true to the colored people, and as
long as he is true to them they must not
desert him. Long live Mahone!
To remove a wrong impression, we
wish to give the information, derived
from unquestionable authority, that
colored men who are willing to pay
the prices can be accommodated in the
hotel at the White Sulphur Springs.
We board outside for the sake of econ
omy, but we spend most of our time in
the grounds. We have yet the first in
sulting word to hear or the least refer
ence to our nationality. I have found
by experience that Southern men treat
colored men with more consideration at
these resorts than do most Northern
men. lam prepared to defend this as
sertion.
Before leaving Washington I received
copies of the Cleveland Gazette.
Many of our friends saw the paper, and
they expressed themselves as pleased
with its reading matter, typography
and general appearance. Success is
sure to crown the efforts of the pub
lishing company, if they do not faint
and fall by the wayside.
Our next letter will be written from
Washington. Capital.

SELF-EDUCATION
Of the Slaves of Louisiana.
BY PAUL GASTON.
Part Second.
Part first contained a condensed out
line of the peculiar domestic and civil
relations existing in the province 01
Louisiana at the close of the eighteenth
and the opening of the nineteenth cen
turies, between the white and colored
elements, from which the general read
er may have derived a vague idea of
the social, political and moral statutes
acquired and exercised by these distinct
races in their civil capacity.
We should have added in part first,
that the text books of most of the
schools were entirely in the French lan
guage, English being taught as a sep
arate branch. We enter a court of
justice to find the civil law the basis of
all judicial proceedings. The “Code
Napoleon” and the “Partidas” are oft
ener quoted than either Blackstone or
Kent, and often the examination of
witnesses and pleadings of counsel are
entirely in a foreign tongue.
This peculiar state of society in New
Orleans has exerted a great influence
on the “free” or Creole population,
who have become an element worthy of
our consideration.
The statute laws have been rigidly
severe on the union of “white” within
the “colored” elements, but social cus
toms have sanctioned them, to a great
extent, and the Catholic Church not
only recognizes but encourages these
unions and her inexorable dogmas com
pel the husband to support and educate
his offspring.
We now proceed to portray the ef
fects of this diametrieism on the colored
and hence the weaker race. Among
the French and Spanish settlers and
their descendents, the condition of the
colored race, rattier than its color, has
been the ground of popular prejudice.
They regarded the slave and his off
spring as an inferior class, because
they were in a condition of servitude,
and not because they bore a darker
hue. In the North and in States set
tled bv the English, the prejudice was
one of color rather than condition. In
the former case the emancipated slave
was as much respected as he who could
trace his gene alogy to ances
try of freemen; but in the
latter, the slightest admixture of
African blood consigned its pos
sessor o hopeless degradation, without
regardjto respectability,wealth or moral
worth.
Under the memorable revolution m
San Domingo, a great number of Cre
oles and freemen of color took up their
residence in Louisiana, particularly in
New Orleans. Many of them were men
of culture, wealth and intellectual abil
ity. anil a majority of them were own
ers of extensive properties in that isl
and, and had been educated in the most
eminent and scholastic institutions of
France. The French was their native
language, and all early associations
had been among these magnani
mous people universally beloved
and esteemed for total ex
emption from those unwarrantable
prejudices which tarnisli the other
wise fair escutcheon of the American
people. Prior to the dominiean emi
gration, the subject of education among
the free colored people of Louisiana
bad been much neglected, and it was
somewhat humiliating to their native
pride to find themselves objects of con
tempt by these polished emigrants,
whose wealth and influence at once
opened to them the hit herto inaccessible
!>rivileges of social intercourse with the
French element of the province.
Instead, however, of yielding to the
suggestions of envy ami jealousy our
own Creole population promptly inau
gurated a system of education for their
children, which in a short time mani
fested the most marked improvement
in the mental and moral status of both
parent and child, and indue time many
of their own sons Were sent toFranee to
be educated, whence they returned to
assume positions of honor and emolu
ment in their native province, and
hence, in the year 1786, there were no
less than two thousand Creoles in the
province who had received a liberal
foreign education and became both an
honor and ornament to their race. In
fact, it was generally conceded that no
other American colony could boast of
so refined and influential a class of col
ored freemen as that which adorned
the professional, the mercantile and the
agricultural employments of Louisiana.
