LEWIS OF KNOXVILLE WAS DEFEATED AN TJXMEUITED REBUKE A BRE1F CA REER OF THIS DISTINGUISHED MAN THE BANQUET TO HON. FRED. DOUGLASSEX-SENATOR BRUCE WILLPRE SIDE ANOTHER ONE THE GLOBE'S FALSEHOODSEX-SENATOR DORSEY GOING BLIND OUR NEW COMMIS SIONERWHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL DO IF MR. ARMSTEAD IS NOT CON FIRMED &C. The course which the colored men in the body politic are pursuing is one that will ultimately end in the distinc tion of the best interest of the colored race. Having made a review of the situation we find that some of our co lored friends have gone against their own interest for a few dollars or a glass of whisky. We have in our mind now a case in the NINTH DISTIUCT of Illinois where three hundred negroes defeated the election lion. J. II. Lewis who h;ts always been a friend to the colored race. Hon. J. II. Lewis, of ICnoxville, was born in Tompkins County, New York, July 21, 1830; emi grated to Illinois in the fall of 1S-36 ; received a common-school education: was admitted to the bar in 18G0 ; was elected clerk of the Circuit Court of Knox County in 1860; was elected a member of the House of Representa tives of Illinois in 1SV4 ; ami w;ls elected to the Forty-seventh Congress as a Republican, receiving 14,658 votes against UfiVl votes for John JS. Lee, Democrat, and 2,548 votes for AY. II. Reynolds, Greenback candidate. He was elected Mayor and to several other important positions, and every position has been tilled with honor and credit, lie was an Abolitionist and w;us often condemned and rebuked be cauce he refused to notice advertise ments of runaway slaves, lie hits al ways been a Republican true and tried and who, from his day of majority, has voted the republican ticket. In the darkest and most dangerous hours oi negro oppresions, Mr. Lewis stood firm and was faithful to the negro. It wa.; three hundred negro votes, that de ieated this eminent statesman and friend of the colored race. Mr. Lewi could have been elected had hepurchased negro votes for money and whibky which he was too honorable to do. The Democrats resorted to the meanest schemes, the tender spot of the three hundred was touched; they had a pecu liar weakness for rum, which had the necessary elfect. The corrupt and dis contented negro politicians are doing the masses- more harm then good. It would be well for the musses to have a watch ful eye of what is being done by these malcontents. For the services rendered to our race by Mr. Lewis the colored Republicans should honor and respect mm ana return him to Congress when an opportunity presents itself. A man so eminent and serviceable to our people has the thanks and support of the Rue. HON. FRED. DOUGLASS will on next Monday be tendered a b;inquet by the representative men of the Country. The long services of Mr. Douglass have been appreciated and as a token of such esteem and appreciation he receives a banquet. The program for the occasion has been excellently arranged by Professor J. M. Gregory and the master of ceremonies Hon. B. K. Bruce, who had been re-elected from the beginning to preside on this occa sion. No better relcction could have been made, no more honorable gentle man could been found and no" other person could give more dignity, char acter and significance to this proffered banquet than Hon. B. K. Bruce. The Washington correspondent of the (flobc prevaricated as usual when that corre spondent published the assertion that some one else would preside, and as Mr. Bruce was relected from the beginning, none other except Senator Bruce could have given more honor to the occasion. Ex-Senator j. v DOII.SEY is going blind. Whatever mavbethe desire of the Government to do in this Star Iloute case there should be some mercy shown, not because "we believe that these gentlemen are guilty, but' because we beleive them to be innocent. We would not attempt to impede the wheels of justice, but there should be mercy shown if there is a shadow of doubt of their innocence. There is a big fight bsing made against OUR NEW COMMISSIONER, Mr. Armstead. It is said, should Mr. Armstead be defeated, non. A. M. Clapp will be appointed. There are men who deserves the commissioner ship more than Hon. A. M. Clap), since the President don't intend to ap point a colored man. MEMBERS OF THE COLORED OHIO PRESS ASSOCIATION. . E. J.
