but to have attention must be brief.
All communications muBt be addressed to
the Editor and Proprietor. In conjunction
with the Bee, the managers have established
a News Bureau or the Colored Press. We are
prepared to furnish biographies, special cor
respondence and news items at a reasonable
price. The object of the bureau Is to furnish
colored Journals with special Washington let
ters when they have no special correspon
dents. We have some or the best writers in
the country connected with the bureau, which
will enable us to furnish truthful, Bpicy and
concise correspondence. Give the News
Bureau a calL
Advocating Logan and Lincoln.
"We see that there is an unani
mous endorsement by the people
of this country for Hon. John A.
Logan and Robert T. Lincoln. It
would be a pleasure to us to print
all communications sent us from
different parts of the United States,
favoring these two distinguished
men for the presidency; but the
demand for our columns is so
great-that we are compelled to
print only those that are not so
lenghthy. It is our sincere deoire
that the Republican party will
make no mistake. We don't know
of any two men more honored by
the colored people than these two
distinguished citizens. We desire
to call the attention of the Repub
lican party to the colored vote.
Some may endeavor to dodge the
corner; but, if some man like
either Senator Logan or Secretary
Lincoln is not nominated, we ad
vise the Republican party to haul
down its banners.
Some people have said, and es
pecially the politicians, that J ustice
Harlan can unite the colored vote.
We doubt it; and the conclusion
of the colored people would be,
should he be nominated, that the
late decision of the Supreme Court
was for some political purpose; and
hence we advise our Republican
friends to let Justice Harlan's name
rest in peace. This is our only
chance to save a Republic and a
Nation from the diabolical clutches
of the Democratic party. It can
only be done by a soldier like Lo
gan, or a citizen like Lincoln. The
South says give them either of
these men; the vVest speaks for
Logan. The loyal people through
out the country are appealing and
praying for the perpetuation of the
Republican party.
WE ARE JUST.
If there is one thing above
another, if there is any thing that
we are really and truly noted for,
it is our disposition to be harmon
ious, with brotherly' affection, fra
ternal good will, and without even
the hint of malice to man or man
kind. There is not now, nor never
has been on our part the least
semblance of pugnaciousness, we
from day to day feel the good
that comes out of this broad, open,
generous, continental, hemispher
ic, cosmopolitan disposition to be
really at peace with the world,
We have, during the holidays gar
landed with green all our friends,
and shut our eyes to our enemies,
have wished a bountiful lot of the
good things of this world to all
that are in need and want, have
passed by the fine laced curtain
ed windows of the rich, and did
not envy their princely living, or
the comforts they enjoyed; we
have attended divine worship with
characteristic regularity that has
been the theme for the tongnes of
our legion of friends, our duty to
the Btreet-sweeper, and alike to
the street beggar, the poor and
those who have had to contend
with empty stomachs, the widow
and the orphan, have had our best
wishes. We have been at eaBO, in
peace and love, with nature and
all the world, but the man that put
the beef (roast beef) in front of
plate at the banquet we attended
will cause us to forget all the good
there was or is in us. if his name
can be obtained and he found;
we object to eating beef that came
over with Columbus, when he
made that famous tour.
A TOAST.
At the request of several gentle
men, siguing themselves mem
bers ot the Graud Army of trie
Republic, we give here the toast
to the Colored Soldier in the "War
for the Union, at the" " Fortune
Brnquet."
"The record of the Colored Sol
dier in the war for the Union."
In behalf of the living for and
in honor of the heroic dead, who
helped inscribe in blood, upon the
Nation's banner, Fort Pillow,
Hudson, Wagner, Oulustie, New
Market Heights, Petersburg, and
I fr?0 himdieb battles, assaults, Seiff-
IO
es skirmishes and engagements ;
for these and the memory of
those who spoke for us in "the war
for the preservation of the Union,
let us rise aud stand while this
sertiineut is announced.
" That the blood shed upon the
American battle field, by the col
ored soldier, during the war for
the Union is written so fixedly,
1 engrossed so firmly, and wrought
so deep in the Nation's life, that
prejudiced historiaus cannot blot
it out."
The Hon. Frederick Douglass
was married last Thursday night
to Miss Helen M. Pitt, of K Y.
Mr. D. made it plaiu that he be
lieved in the principle "no pre
judice on account of race, color, or
previous condition of servitude,"
and the largest liberty in human
personal rights.
THE SUGAR CONVENTION.
A large Sugar convention was
heldjjat New Orleans, Louisiana
last Tuesday. The Times-Democrat
ot that city gives an interest
ing account of it. Hon. P. B. S.
Pinchback, was present and was
invited to speak, and said he was
present by the merest accident.
He confessed an embarrasment to
find himself called upon to address
such a convention. He had been
requested by Mr. T. T. Allain to
come to the convention, so as to
get in line and ascertain how to
proceed in the convention of color
ed men on the same subject, which
is to be held here on the 23d. He
was glad that he had come, and lie
desired to show that the class he
was identified with felt as keenly
the present crisis which threatened
our peorle as any one. Applause.
In the past a line had been drawn
between the two classes, but now
he was glad to see them obliterat
ed in this convention. He would
always be found working side by
side with those who are seeking to
prevent this calamity to this great
State. There was no time to be
lost, and though he approved the
suggestion for having a pamphlet
prepared, he did not think that
they should wait on Congressmen
to digest it. He was not a sugar
planter, but he represented a very
large class of people whose very
livelihood was at stake, the sugar
laborers. He thanked the conven
tion for the honor conferred upou
him. His remarks were received
with loud applause.
FLATTERING.
The Washington Correspondent
of the North Carolina Sentinel, in
speaking of Howard University,
has this to say of one of our Editors:
" The Printing Department is an
essential feature. It is engineered
and superintended by the talented
Arthur St. A. Smith, Esqr., a
young man of national fame. Mr.
Smith is one of our foremost print
ers and has rendered efficient ser
vices for many men now success
ful in journalistic enterprises. He
is an honor to his race. At the
Beihel Literary in this city, a soci
ety now of universal renown, he
has made himself felt as a gifted
thinker. As an impromptu speak
er, Mr Smith has few peers. He
is now attached to the Bee as one
of its editors, where his writings
are widely quoted and commented
upon.,, -
FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
No objection to the nomination
of Logan or Lincoln for President
either one is therefore in order.

We predict that the Washing
ton Bee will be one of the leading
journals of the colored race in the
great future. We have many rea
sons for saying what we have.
Southern American.
"Seeking or holding an office,"
says the Bee, "is one of the unques-
tionable rights of the American
citizen."
The Bee is wrong. To seeJc of
fice or to hold office is no right.
The most miserable citizen is a
chronic office seeker. It develop
ed a Guiteau; and is the worst
feature ot Americanpolitics. The
right to vote does not carry with
it, the right to hold office, Tbe
Washington Bee is much affected
by its surroundings. Indianapolis
World.
The World is wrong and full of
false issues which it dare not deny.
Toseek an offiiceis honorable an,d
a right which is guaranteed, not
by any law, but n right which is
not constitutionally wrong. To
hold an office is honorable and very
few, but the disappointed office
seeker, objects..
We have, in previous issues,
spoken of Gen. Logan's peculiar
fitness, and availability for the
Republican Presidential nomina
tion. Because of his long experi
ence in public affairs, his spotless
and unsullied record as a states
man, the patriotism demonstrated
bv bis bravery and daring in the
darkest hour of his country's need,
he is entitled to the gratitude ot
all patriotic Americans. Brltimore

HOW. JOII1V A. IiOGAW.
The Distinguished Soldier and
Eminent Statesman should
be Nominated for President.
Editor of the Bee :
Sir: Iu lS60,atthe time when the Democratic
party had, as it were, this great Republic by I
its throat, and when they were doing every
thing in their power to impede its progress
in the march of civilization, the Republican
party found it necessary to call on the State of
Illinois to furnish them a President that
would shake oil the leeches that were under
mining and bringing our Republic to rain and
disgrace.
Now, in 1SS1, we find the same old Bourbon
party in possession of the House of Represent
atives; we lind them needing only one or two
Senators to give them a majority in the Sen
ate; we find them using everything in their
power and striving in divers ways to again
grasp the Presidenti.nl chair; and I think it
behooves us to again look to Illinois for a
President : that we should select and secure
that distinguished soldier and eminent states
man of hers, the Hon. John A. Logan, to pre
vent the rebel horde and free-traders from
getting control of the helmof ourgovernment.
The Republicans of the South have always
found Hon. John A Logan a staunch friend
and defender of theirs ; the Union soldier ele
ment of the country have always found him
foremost in shaping and promoting legisla
tion looking to the interest of them and their
heirs; and he has always been found using
his great intellectual ability to promote the
welfare and good of the United States Govern
ment. The National Republican Convention which
assembles at Chicago in June will, by nomi
nating the above-named distinguished gen
tleman, confer the honor upon worthy should
ers, and its consummation would redound to
the best interests of the whole American peo
ple. R. F. CinsoiiM,
South Carolina.
CUBA TO LOUISE.
DeAr Lou: There is no question
about it. Your last letter is in the kind of
material that is needed here just now.
There were various comments upon your
theme during the day, Sunday, I was at
Edna's for an hour during the afternoon,
and it would have amused yoi to have
heard what was said of uLouise," ano
who she was supposed to be. Mrs. A. L.
said, UJ. know who Louise is." "Who?"
said a half dozen voices. Well, if I should
tell j'ou who she ' 'guessed," you were,
you would chuckle. More than a dozen
persons were accused of being "Louise ;"
but not once did they guess or call your
real name. The letter of last week was dis
cussed. I took part in the discussion , and
there I sat and heard myself called "hate
ful old Clara," and you "meddlesome old
Louise." I al?o heard you defended by
three of the most charming ladies in the
city, who said in so many words that
Louise was protecting decent association
and well-bred society, and at the same
time giving the married dudes and the
misses dudes a deserved quantity of real
opportune medicine. You remember I
told you that Mar' would scold and scowl
at you ; but in the long run, virtue will
get its reward.
I have been mingling around consider
ably since I- parted with you Sunday.
Clarence carried me to the opera Tuesday;
Wednesday I had a delightful drive with
Mr. L., who left us for Detroit on Thurs
day. Julia give him her photograph, and
he presented her with a beautiful token,
that you will observe on her fore finger
(left hand) when next you see her.
Theentertainmen at Ada's was very nice.
Everything went o(T, oh, ever so charm
ing! The dearest little reception this
winter was the real, substantial and solid
affair that the "Tar-heels" gave their hon
ored member of Congress, Mr. O'Hara.
I was behind the scenes, and much did I
see, hear and learn that was instructive,
entertaining and amusing. What a shabby
thing it was in the management not to
have a few reporters present. Stingy,
close-fistedness is a remarkable physical
leature of some of the department gentle
men. The idea of not having reporters
at a reception to a public man like Mr.
O'Hara showed that those who had charge
of it were either borne upon the winds of
absolute do know anything, or. they were
ashamed to let the world see what their
spread and doings really was. Mr. O'Hara
is our only public servant in Congress,
and the country feels an interest in what
he may say on public matters, whether on
the floor of the House of Representatives,
In committee room or at a banquet.
Lula gave her parents a birth-day party
on the 17th. Now, was not that a nice
thing to do? She had some twenty plates,
and invited her immediate friends. The
dinner was of the old-fashioned order, and
it was cooked by the dear little lady her
self, and she. acted as hostess. I was de
lighted with what I saw and heard while
I was present. After an hour at dinner
table, the company assembled in the main
parlor, Lnla stepped to the middle of the
floor, saying; " My dear friends, this is the
anniversary of the 57th birth-day of my
father, and the 47th of ftiy mother. (At
a nod from her, all rose to their feet.)
The dinner that we have just partaken of
was in honor of this day, their natal day.
I present to you, father, this cap, (going
up, and kissing him,) and to you, mother,
this pillow as a proof of my continued
love for you." When these last few
words fell from her lips, there was not a
dry eye in the room. The old man tried
to speak, but his voice failed him, he
1 looked at tftal dear girl, and neither could
speak, both were so full of joy and happi
ness. How very much of a dame we read
of in fairy stories and romances did the
mother look than the woman in reality
that she is, and has been. After this, we
all sat down, and conversation of the days
when Lula was a child, and scenes of the
past were talked over; and thus two hours,
almost as ;like a dream, were spent with
this dear family.
Zoe will be here on the 28th, next Mon
day, she will be a guest with the B., 11th
St., and then to the M., lGth st. The Wav
erly Club party will occur on the 23d of
February, Belle, Marie, Aggie, Bertie, and
Sara, go to Norfolk on Wednesday, to be
the guests of J. H. M. and J. M. W., and
to attend the ball and annual supper of
the "Bachelors."
Delia G. and Sallie M. are to he brides
maids for E. next month. Jack said he
would act as best man for his old friend. L.
B., but lie has been up so much during
the past three year?, he thinks of declin
ing in favor of some of the boys who are
just merging on the stage.
Lou, -ou must not fail to be at the 15th
street Church, on Monday night. Mr. A.
H. Grimke, of Bo-ton, is to deliver a lec
ture on the life and character of the late
John C. Calhoun, a rare and quite a novel
thing for a colored gentleman to do. You
will find quite a number of senators and
members present, especially southern and
eastern ones. Ex-Governor Long, of Mas
sachusetts, will preside. Governor Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, Senator But
ler, and the entire delegation from that
State, will occupy prominent seats.
I will tell you about J. and the rumor
when we meet. L. has gone to San Fran
cisco for her health. She obtained leave
for three months, and will be absent that
time.
I cannot say that I am terribly in love
with Mr. E's. conversational powers. I
think he talksntirely too much, and says
but little. lie is still, or was at last ac
counts, relating his experience in Greece,
Asia, etc.. etc.
B. F. has made up ber mind to leave
school and devote a couple of years to art.
She will bid us adieu on the 10th of
March.
The married dudes' hop, the next one,
will take place at Mrs. . Blacknell's over in
Swampoodle. The leaders were unable
to obtain quarters in the city. Ask Gertie
to remember the pattern, and bring it
when she comes over Sunday.
Good bye.

SQT7LRE MERRILL'S POEM
CRITICIZED BY A LADY.
hMr. JLDITOR:
The poem which was com
posed by Sqnire G. Merrill, aud
delivered at the Camp-fire of
Meade Post, No. 5, G-. A. R., and
published in the Secoud Vol. and
twenty-fourth number of the Bee,
would have served a good purpose
indeed had it been consumed by
the fire. The Author takes ad
vantage of the fact that different
kinds of feet are often used in the
same line, and also, that different
measures are frequently used in
the sam e poem. He truly makes
use of every indulgence in the use
of peculiar forms and expressions
given-to poets.
After taking every liberty be
longing to a poet, he fails to im
press the minds of a good many
readers favorably. I will eudeav
or to make a few criticisms on
some verses contained in the poem.
'In eighteen-hundred and forty-six,
To New York City did go ;
Enlisted in the first New York
In the war with Mexico."
First of all he fails to say who
went to New York, or who it was
that was in the war of Mexico.
" The boat we took across the stream.''
very smart men to take a boat
across the stream : in what were
the men at the same time ?
"We went quickly over fthe waves."
I wonder if the waves of a stream
are very noticeable ?
"And soon found us in the camp."
was the camp on land or water ?
, Among our Country's braves'
were our country's braves dead or
alive ?
'A drum to beat, the meo to greet,
While endJng up the call,
'Foil in' the cry around the camp,
Was heard by one aiid all.'
It is haped that a very few, if auy,
obeyed' and fell in the stream.
'Then to quarters go,
Coffee, beans, raw porft, hard tack,
you know.'
What did the coffee, fceans, raw
pork" or hard tack, know? He is
very ridiculous to think of the
above named 'articles; growling
and swearing to desert "by joe."
.The order comes to ship we go,
And soon we land on board,"
It would have been better had
ther landed on shore.
"Pat up yonx arm. go dow a. the hold.
And offfor Mexico,"
Who is commanded to put up his
arms, down the hold, and off for
Mexico, all at once?
"The age of him now in tnis hall.
Was then but twelve short years,"
What's the difference between
twelve short years and twelve
long ones, if both the loag years
ana short ones either have or have
not leap years?
"The war did wage, and victory won.
The result you all now know."
Of course we do, the result is, vic
tory won.
"Now Meade Post respoud, A.
Dillon to commijnc!,"cbarge" he
cried, coffee, crackers, pork, go in
and take them."
I can now understand that cof
fee, crackers and pork were sup
posed being as they were com
manded to seize something-or some
body.
"Now
there"
if that Comrade over
Now Bitting in this hall,
Httl kept a little quiet
He would not had that Jail
The abova verse is a little mix
ed, as every one does not kuow to
what comrade the author refers.
"For I was once a little boy,
In the war of Mexico,"
What was the use of a little boy
in the war of Mexico ?
"Good night comrades,
Go home to see the wives of '8i
And when you think of old. Meade Post,
Remember Mexico'"
Why not remember Mexico and
by so doing so think of Meade
Post?
This poem can be subjected to
a more severe criticism.
I do think that in poetry as will
as prose, there should be good
reasoning aud fine tuste displayed.
