If the president don't appoint Mr. Qlapp it will not he that the Globe ef fected it. The Southern Republicans say that Gen. Prank T. llatton, first assistant postmaster general.has befriended them more than any high official since the Grant administration. The Southern Democrats were in the habit of bull doozing the heads of the departments in the appointment of Stalwart Repub licans to position in the South. How ever, they believe that Mr. P. T. llatton the first assistant postmaster general, is not to be frightened. The Senators and Democratic Representatives from South Carolina, oppose every Repub lican who has been nominated to anv office in that State recently, and will continneto do so, if the administration will not interfere. Mr. Hatter is the man who will show to these Demo cratic solons that Southern Republi cans must represent Republican princi ples. They will oppose every Repub lican, unless they bring a certificate from the Bourbons of their section which they (the Republicans) repre sent. Among those whose names have been sent to the Senate for von firmation and are opposed by the Demo crats are : Dr. "Webster, of S. C, Robe son, of Greenville ; Junius Mobly, of Union Court House ; and E. H. Deus, of Florence, S. C, the two first are white, and the latter colored. Mr. Deus being opposed bitterly, because he had the manhood to oppose the Bourbons and their hellish brutality against tha Negro. He has been wounded twice, and jt is hoped that the Republican Senate will see that he is confirmed, and let us hope that Mr. Hatton will con tinue to stand by the Republicans of the South. Senator Mahone is to be commended for standing by these men as he is a member of the committee on Postoflice and roads. PURVIS' LAME DEFENDERS. Since we have been publishing this paper we have endeavored to instruct our people intelligently so that they may trrow strong socially, morally and religiously, as well as in a political point of view. "We have a public duty to perform, and shall perform it in a way that all classes may be benefited. "We shall render unto Causer what is Caser's, and unto God what is God's. "We will not, like the Xew York Globe and the Afro-American, deviate from those points of honesty, truth and honor which have been instilled into our minds ; for what does it benefit a man to "gain the whole world and lose ihis soul?" "We can no more array ourselves against the "good old" Re publican party than we can assume our chains or insult our mother that party which has brought us out of the land of Egypt, "out of" the house of bondage." "We have resolved never to go back on our friends We have further resolved to attack and route every enemy we may find in otir camp. In accordance with our public-duty, our resolution, and the interest we have in the future of our race, we have exposed the deceptions of Mr. Robert Purvis & Son for which the editors of the Globe and A fro-American, (one a disappointed office seeker and the other a Democratic deputy sheriff), has at tacked us. The A fro-American, says: "The Hon. Robert Purvis refused to support Robeson, whose name is the synonym of corruption, and sought to defeat him by organizing an indepen dent movement among colored voters, the Bee, as it had a right to do, antag onized him." You admit then, my Democrat ic friend, that we had a right to antagonize Mr. Purvis ; still ycu have assailed us for so doing. But you and Mr. Purvis do not agree, for whilst you admit that he refused to support Robeson, he denies it most em phatically. One or the other of you has lied ; let the public decide which. But,ays this Democratic editor: "It was very inconsistent in the Bee to be so very impatient with Mr. Pur vis, and yet to be so patient with the Mahone Independent party of Vir gmia. "We were of the opinion that the editor of the Afro-Americaifxus well inform ed; at least we thought that he knew the difference between a Democratic and an Independent movement. The ap- po.ntment he has received, as Demo cratic deputy sheriff, has coagulated his brain. Another appointment of a higher order would make him a fit subject for a lunatic asylum. The movement in Pennsylvania was none other than a Democratic .movement conducted by men, who, like the editor of the Afro, wanted notoriety and a petty position, which their lack oT honesty, integrity and ability could not get them in the Republican ranks ; therefore, they formed a corrupt com bination, enticed a few colored men to join them and elected a Democratic State ticket. If it were an Independ ent movement, why did not the so called Independents continue the struggle? "Why do they now deny ever having participated in the move ment at all ? On the other hand, the Independents of Virginia are to-day as earnestly engaged in their persistent effort for equal privileges for all men, as they were before the campaign. Show ihe Bee a Virginia Independent who denies ever having taken active part in the movement, and the Bee will show the editor of the Afro over wy-Uvc Robert Purvis & Son), who denied ever having anything to do with it. If the movement were an honest and sincere one, why deny it? Again ; will the able editor of the Afro-American dare deny that the colored men who took part in the fraudulent movement in Pennsylvania are politically ruined? "Will he tell the public what benefit they have received from it or will ever receive from it? "Will he dare deny that it was through these so-called Independents that the State of Pennsylvania was lost to the Republicans? On the other hand will the editor of the Afro say, that the Mahone movement in Virginia did not benefit all classes of people in that State? "Was not the colored man par ticularly benefited? Is it not a fact that at the first sitting of the llead jtister Legislature that all laws that were obnoxious to the colored man, in fact made for him was abolished ? And is not that in true accordance with the principles of true Republicanism ? But says the Afro. The fact that R. C. O. Ben jamin (the man with a thousand Ht.lf wlin w;is rnnnpnfpfl in ji. birr way with Mr. Purvis in the Inde-; pendent movement against Mr. Robe son, comes to the rescue of the Bee by turning State's evidence, does not ma terially lessen the heat of the hot box into which the mad Republican folly of the Bee has placed itself. "We have but very little personal ac quaintance with Mr. Benjamin, but from what we can learn that gentle man came by his titles in an honorably way. Is the editor of the Afro alarmed because the titles (except that of Democratic Deputy Sheriff) has been monopolized and there is none left for him ? But you will persist in accusing Mr. Purvis as being our Inde pendent and against Mr. Robeson, while Mr. Purvis persists with equal force that he was not, you had better bo very careful or he will forget that you are trying to defend him and bring suit against vou for "criminal libel" "Republican folly, the Bee has placed itself into" indeed. Every Republican effort are considered "folly," viewed ( throughDemocratic spectacles, that fact j being known throughout all Christen dom; we will not attempt to discuss it. If Benjamin was aware of the "political trickery and devices prac ticed by the Independents," and yet joined with Mr. Purvis m the Inde pendent movement, he is just as cul- j pable as Mr. Purvis, and his turning State's evidence should not prevent the ' Bee,' if it possesses one idea of con sistency, from denouncing Benjamin with as much emphasis as it did Mr. Purvis. "The appointment in the "West under advisement" adds to the beauty of Benjamin's State's evidence, and proves that with him it is dollars and cents, and not principles. Yes, Benjamin was aware of the trick ery and devices.and has exposed them to your sorrow, and that exposition has sounded Mr. Purvis's death knell. "Wo do denounce Benjamin as well as Purvis, and every other colored man who has turned traitor to his friends and an enemy, to his race by joining those who exists onlv to enslave us all. The editor of the Afro-American may be a deciple of Black Stone, there fore, we will not attempt to question his assertion of "turning State's evi dence," we believe however, that when a man turns State's evidence he does so for the purpose of exhonerating himself. Mr. Benjamin has made no such effort, he being in this city was called on by a reporter of the Bee, and in a plain and straight forward way told what he knew about the cor rupt party in Pennsylvania, which is most manly Benjamin, who took part and has told the truth about it, or Purvis who took part and has lied consistency; if thou art a jewel pleas0 extricate, thyself for the benefit of a reading public. It was not so much a "matter of dollars and cents" with Benjamin, as it was a matter of pounds, shillings and pence, with the editor of the Afro-American, for while Mr. Benjamin declined the appoint ment out "West, the "knight,' of the Afro accepted the deputy marshal ship from a Democratic sheriff, moral: "Those who live in glass houses should never throw stones." STEALING IX HIGH LIFE. Mr. Editor : An article having appeared in your issue of the 24th, concerning a robbery which took place at my house during a masquerade, you will allow me to say in regard to the same, that the matter was highly exag gerated and does gross injustice to sev eral gentlemen employed in the Sur geon Generals Office, corner of 10th and F Streets, who are personal friends of mine. 1 have never by word or act intimated that any one connected with that office was in anyway connected with the affair, and further, have not the slightest idea who took the money I regret exceedingly the publicity that has been given this matter, and make this statement to correct any false im pression that your article may have created. S. "W. Estrex. There is something wrong in Den mark, which may be seen by the above letter of Mr. S. "W. Estien. It is not the intention nor is it the desire of the Bee to rellect directly or indirectly upon any one connected with this stealing. The Bee was informed that a cer tain clerk in the Surgeon-General's office, was the last person seen coming out of Mr. Estren's bed-room on Fri day evening, the 23d of February. If the Bee has exaggerated the amount, then Mr. Estren is responsible for it. sion, the Uee is not responsible, but the informants of the Bee. "We have too much respect for the person who informed us of this stealing and the implications made to us by that person to give him away. It was a common rumor throughout the city, that a cer tain person robbed Mr. Estren, and so far as the knowledge of the publica tion was concerned, we regret that gen tlemen should so soon forget true man hood. "We shall await further develop ments. If wc have wronged any one, hold the Bee responsible for the cow ardice of its informants. Ed. T. THOMAS FORTUNE. IN HISTORY HIS WONDERFUL TRANS FORMATION MR. R. C. O. BENJA MIN'S rniLIFFIC OR Ills EPISTLE TO TIMOTHY IS HE AN AS OR AN APOSTLE? HE EVADES THE INDE. PENDENT ISSUE AND MAKES A SAMES DEFENSE GORMAN VS. COM. MON SENSE PURVIS AS BALAAM AND FORTUNE HIS ASS., &C. &C, &.C. R. C. O. Benjamin, sometimes editor of the Pittsburg Colored Gitizen, writes a letter to the Bee, on the Pennsyl vania Independents which, for malici ous mutilation of grammar and as a cool recital of his own corrupt and venal purposes, surpasses any state ment we ever before read. "We advise Mr. Benjamin to keep out of the news papers, and, if he has time, we would further advise him to place his head under the faucet of an ice-cooler until his muddled brain coagulates. At this time he is certainly addle-pated. New York Globe. To the Editor of the Bee: Sir The apostle Paul in writing hin epistle to Timothy says, -'I was a blasphemer and a persecutor, and inju rious, howbeit. I obtained mercy be cause I did it ignorantly." And to prevent Timothy from being an ignor ant idealist as he was. The good apostle tells him tobesobermindedand orderly, not to be contentious, not to be a striker and a brawler less being puffed up, he falls into the reproach and the snare of the devil. In spite of St. Paul's adinonision Timothy turns out to be the most vain and arrogant coxcomb in all Christendom. The scripture tells us that all of the disci ples, with two or three exceptions, were iliterate men. St. Paul was brought up at the feet of Gamaliel. Luke was a physician. Timothy re ceived instructions from St. Paul, and after following his apostleship for some time iamong the briers and orange groves, in the state of Florida he mig rated to Xew York and is now editor of the 2f ew York Globe. Now it came to pass that one out of the tribe of Benjamin forsook the right way having followed the way of Balaam ( Purvis! the son of Boer, who loved 1 the hire of wrong doing, but hewasj rebuked for his own transgression. A dumb ;i$6spoke with man's voice and stayed the madness of the prophet. Hero you see Timothy appears, not in the shape of an apostle however, but as "Fortune" would have it in the shape of an Ass. A hint to the wise is sufficient, but Balaam thought that a stick to an ass was better. Accord ingly he gave Timothy an unmerciful beating. The result of the beating was that the "doggoned animal" became well versed in law. medicine and egot ism, especially the last named, which requires a great deal of learning and patient researches. It also shows, that an ass is more susceptible to learning that an apostle, and right here, our modern school teachers can learn a lesson, viz: that by a lively use of the birch. Pupils are apt to learn rapidly, because where St. Paul failed in giving kind words and moderate instructions, Balaam succeeded with rough words, and a hickory. I forgot to mention in the commencement of this narrative, that most of the apostles, names were either changed or they had surnames for instance, Simon was surnamed Peter, Judas was called Iscariot, Thomas was surnamed Diddymus, Saul after his conversion was called Paul, and Timoth$?af ter his transformation was surnamed Thomas Fortune. This apostle, unlike the others, threw aside theology and took up nigerology, a sample of which is displayed in the article above quoted. Xow I ma have "mutilated grammar," and is liable to be sued for malicious mutilla tion ; but as I never was an apostle never was transformed, nor never had any gramatical pretentions like the editor of the Globe, a jury would, no doubt render a verdict of not guilty Tim apostles also had some very pecu liar traits. Peter was a hypocrit, for he denied the Master ; Thomas doubted; Judas was a betraver, and Timothv, surnamed Fortune, turns out to be an unmitigated liar. I am not "addled," as "Fortune" would have it, nor does this season of the year require ice and a fawcet. for cooling purposes, the atmosphere being abundantly sufficient. But suppose my letter to the Bee was was mutilated? "Well what of that? Most good things are, and it is wholly incomprehensible to me, how the editor of the Globe can point with such force to a few typographical errors in my letter and forget the gist of the subject matter, namely, the object of the In dependent party in Pennsylvania and the part Robert Purvis took in the movement. I certainly said nothing that was not so ; on the contrary, I have not mentioned one-half of the corrupt measures resorted to by Mr. Purvis and his coadjutors for the -mpnoscoJlft&n,rty"wl",xlvT pubiicans..11 regard to my "corrupt and venal purposes," Mr. Fortune knows better, for in addition to my letter which appeared in his paper, his editorial on the same -and his editorial on the proposed delate between Prof. Richard T. Greener and myself, Mr. Fortune and I corresponded privately. I am just as much an Independent now as I ever was. I believe, as the great transformed apostles of the Globe be lieves that is, that I am an American citizen with inalienable constitutional rights to vote as I please. I owe alle giance to no man or set of men. The difference between he and I is that he is a fanatic on the subject and I am not. I do not desire a newspaper controversy with the gentleman, forjtis the most unsatisfactory thing in the world to strike at nothing. The re porter from the Bee called at my rooms and I told him what I knew about the Independent movement, I being one of the participants. I do not wish to injure Mr. Purvis, indeed, I cannot injure him, for he has already injured himself, not only as an enemy to the party which fostered and gave him "fat" positionns. But as one who brings an unnecessary suit for the purpose of smoothing over his wrong-doings. Mr. Purvis held one or two responsible positions given him by the Republican party, and hould have remained quiet. Mr. Fortune and myself have received nothing, therefore we "kick." Mr. Fortune has the advantage over me, he having been transformed from an Apostle into an ass, he can kick much stronger, and like Atlas of old, he has a "Globe" upon his shoulders, and is better able to materialize, I trust however, that the gentleman will not take undue advantage of his two fold positions, namely, of being an ass and atlas.

I remember that in the second day's fight before Richmond a captain by the name of Coward saw the sergeant shot down and the colors fall, and he caught up the Hag and waved it high and for ward with a shout, and a cannon ball come whizzing along and took off his arm, and the colors fell again.
