WHAT I SAW, AND HEARD Tbe District Commissioners are ..nnfirmed aud as I predicted a few Us agO' they wiU begia uow t0 "Lte fmnoiutmeuts. I understand fhatEx-Wblic Printer A. M. Clapp or Major A. 0. Richards, will be ii desernug of recognition and his flDpomtiuent would meet the hear ty approval of the citizens I am gore that the Commissioners would make no mistake in the ap pointment of Mr. Clapp. Of course the colored citizens will look for recognition and I am sure they are entitled to it aud I uhw "that the Commissioners fill do the honest thing. ftjremor Kellogg has been jam! from again, this time in Lou isiana.' He said in an interview tfcat the uext House of Representa tives will he democratic. Gov. Kellojig may know what he is talk ing about but I am under the im pressiou that the voters of this country will overthrow both of the tiro great political parties. The republic 4ii party has not the back bone to act aud 1 am sure that it will not see its mistake until it is too late. I don't think that any national election law will pass; 1 don't tlnuk that this Congress will dare to do auything to enforce tbe laws on the st itute books. The condition of the Negroes in this country looks dark. The republi can party must do its duty towards the Segro; the 15th atnendniant of tbe constitution of the United States must bo enforced. Senator Chandler has done all that one man can do for the cause of freedom. If the republican paity doesu't want the Negro vote let it say so. lam of the opmion that the Negro must solve his own destiny. I am told that the administration is pow erless nnder the laws, to act or pro tect the colored man. If a repub lic is powerless, it would be better to have a monarchy and I kuow that murderers would be punished. I am ;n favor of organization of the .Negroes iuto leagues for their civil and political protection. It is better for the colored man to cease voting if he cannot be protected in his political rights. The people In the North seemed to have been captured by Grady's speech. Their silence must certainly mean an endorsement of it any way. I cannot see what the colored people cau expect from this Congress; I know there will be nothing done in the wav ofiegislation. The House is afraid and the Senate is timid. My advice to the colored people is to withdraw from politics. Let us p into business; get education i money which are the best so Aitons of the Negro problem that can be suggested. I am told that several promi nent names will be sent to the Sen ate when Congress convenes. Who they are I am unable to state at this time. Col. Shyer is a candi date for the Recordership. He is a Geraan and I suppose the Presi dent is aware how much the Ger mans contributed to the last dec uon in Ohio. It is an old maxim and a true one. The kickers are senerallj provided for. 1 am sure that the Negroes will no longer Play the baby act. They will show their power aud political strength ji a few years. No great acts has en accomplished without force and agitation. It is not always necessary to use violence nor is it necessary to tamely submit to ev er? insult. The colored people hi "e South are powerless aud 1 Jfwo not advise them to do any ;?.,n& to their detriment. Let ns 811 hope for a better day. NO. 323 W0RD TO LEADING ORED MEN. COL- NewYork Herald. A remarkable phenomenom de JKjai the attention of the leaders Snnt! ored ")ablic opinion in the X ,?Ud Xorth- Thy cannot Si!?? Sbut tbeir eyes or the ttri flr con8tituenoy-the col SmnPSple 0f the Union-to the Uwf a"d clause given by ofthJrM?la?d.fnd a Bl; PMt of Mr. p.;.:," "iuo recencspeecn "e do nnf Oct. i j Ber .,,! V; uul"reu men to They may dispute Mr. Grady's statements if they please ; they may deny the truth and justice of hia conclusions; they may say what they pleaae about his sentiment. All that is beside the question. What they are bound to notice and to call to the attentiou of colored men of in fluence everywhere in the South, is that all New England has ap plauded Mr. Grady ; that in the ancient stronghold of abolition, in the region where the negro has been accustomed to count upon finding his most zealous friends and defenders there, at last, he has apparently worn out friend ship. That is the matter which deserv es the consideration of every color ed man in the South a matter which every intelligent colored leader is bound to impress upon those of his people whom it is his place to inform. Scheming and reckless politicians in Congress may contrive federal election bills they cannot pass ; and if they do. they will be repealed under stress of public indignation in tbe North. The colored leaders of the South who tell their people that there is help for them in federal legislation mislead them, and are either igno rant themselves or reckless dema gogues. The colored people of the South must help themselves out of any troubles they may haye. They must become a part of the South ern body politic and not an extra neous mass, cohering tor purposes foreign to the general objects of their fellow citizens. The applause and sympatny which Mr. Grady's speech has re ceived in New England should once for all awaken the Southern colored people to the fact that they have in the quarter of a centu ry since the war closed drawn too heavily upon even their most zeal ous friends in the North. Mr. Gra dy suggested that it would have beeu better that the colored men of the South had not been given the vote. W do jant asree with. J him there, for we believe the vote was needed to turn him from a freedman into a freemau. But the signigcant fact is that no apprecia ble public opinion in New England or elsewhere in the North has tak en serious exceptions to Mr. Gra dy's opinion. It is the duty of the intelligent and conscientious leaders of the colored South to tell their people all over the South plainly thai they have no help to expect from North ern symyathy , that federal election laws, even they could pass, would not benefiit them, and would be repealed in two years under the stress of Northern indignation and oppositron ; and that they ougut no longer to allow themselves to be bauded together in their States in a "solid" mass, not forming a po litical party, but only a political mob. It is their duty to teach their people that they must vote as they thiuk and not as republican demagogues urge them to. The solid South consists of two parts, the solid white voters and the solid black voters. But what do the blacks gaiu what have they gained by this solidity? Nothing, except here aud there a post office or some other petty federal place flung to them by their republican friends as a bone is flung to a dog. It is time for the colored voters to consider their situation and to abandon the false course which has brought upon them, as many of them assert, maltreatment in the South ; but, what is far more seri ous for them, indifference and con tempt in the North, and in the house of their friends. YOU MUST BE MOUNTED, EVEN TO ENTER HEAVEN. JASPER S DREAM MAHONE GETS IN HEAVEN AND THE PREACHER LEFT, (Courier journal). Yes, he is in hard luck. What ever happens, he is sure to get the butt end ot it. He is the only per petual hewer ot wood, who is al ways crowded away from the fire ; the only symstematic drawer ot water, who never gets a drink. Yet, as patient as a camel, he goes on voting the Republican ticket from year to yearj and, if one of his race takes a notion to protest, he is straightway bounced for a traitor, and driven out with staves and stones, lucky if he escapes with his life. How long, oh, Lord, how long? It is none of our funeral. We know that. But it does stick in our gizzard to see the colored brother so set upon. It was bad enough to be ignored by the Ad ministration. That, however, was to be expected. Mr . Harrison Is an aristocrat. He hates a poor man only oue degree less than he hates a nigger. But there was a hope that, Congress, the Eepublican Congress, would, when it met, do something to make things even. Now, what do we see? We see all the black contested election cases in the, House, except one, put down at the foot of the calender, where they will never be reached, and that one exception placed sixth on the list of seventeen, not by the Republicans, but by the Deino crats. It is just as Abram Jasper said in his speech to the colored picnic at Shanty-town, in the late Virgi nia campaign: "Feller freeman," says he, "you all know me. I am Abram Jasper, a Republican from way back. When there have been any work to do, I has done it. When there has been any votin' to do, I has voted, early and often. When there have been any fightin' to do, I has beeu in the thick of it. I are above oroff. old line. and tax paid. And I has seed many changes, too. I has seed the Re publicans up. I has seed the De mocrats up. But I is yio to see the nigger up. 'Tother night I had a dream. I dreamt that I died and went to heaven. When I got to de pearly gates, ole Salt Peter, he says : "Who's dar?" says he. "Abram Jasper," says I. "Is you amounted or is you a foot?" says he. "I is a-foof says I. "Well you can't git in here," says he. Nobody's 'lowed in here kept them as come mounted," says he. "Dat's hard on me,'' says I, "ar ter comiu' all dis distance." But he neber says nothin' mo,' and so I starts back, an' about half way down dftJiilL.w.ho.does Xmeet but Gen'l Willom Mahone. "Whar is you gwine, Gen'l?1' says I. "I is gwine to heaven," says he. "Why Gen'l,'' says I, "taint no use. Pse just been up dar, an' no body's 'lowed to git in 'cept dey comes mounted, an' you's a-foot," "Is dat so ?" says he. "Yes it is," says I. "Well, de Gen'l sorter scratched his head, an' arter awhile he says, says he : "Abram, I tell you what let's do. lou is a iiKeiy laci. fcup nose you get down on all fours, an' I'll mount and ride you, and dat way we can both git in ?" ''Gen'l," says I, "do you think you could work It ?" "I know 1 kin," says he "So, down I gits on all fours, and de Gen'l gits a-straddle, an' we ambles up de hill agin an' prances up to de gate, an' ole Salt Peter, he says : "Who's dar?" "Geu'l Willom Mahone of Vir- giuey, "Is a-foot?" says Peter, "I is mounted," says the Gen'l. "Alright" says Peter, "alrigt," says he; jest hitch your boss out-' side, Gen'l , an' come right in." Aud so it goes. Shunned by the Republicans in this world, the col ored brother will be, if they have their way, shut out from heaven it self in the world to come. How long, oh, Lord, how long?
