Tyler is one of the best personal friends we have, and Elder Rives is as good as we ever had, but we disapprove of the course pursued by these gentlemen, and we must think Chr’stian gentlemen should be willing to suffer persecutions and evil speaking-of for Christ’s sake. We fear that Christ’s work in this city will be made to suffer on account of the many things being said of and by these gentlemen. We have personal knowledge of many unjust accusations and indigni ties put upon Elder Tyler and that he has borne them with Christian forti tude, yet if we fail to endure to the end, we may not do the good our Father would have us do. We admit Elder Rives may have done wrong, and if we credit rumors he has done wrong; but will two wrongs make one right? Two preachers ought to put ten thousand devils to flight, but when two preachers get on the wrong side, they may so strongly fortify the devil’s forces that it will take the work of several years to over come the evil of the discord sown. Preachers should not fight each other in the pulpit nor in public and by no means should they retaliate. II e regret to have to speak of these gentlemen, but as they are among our best personal friend and we fear the feeling between two churches here has been somewhat intensified and believing there is a certain designing, wicked man at the botto i of it all, using these good men for a wicked purpose, we express our re grets and hope Christian people will not be excited, but take a calm view of the matter. While both the gen tlemen may feel themselves justified, the world thinks etch have commit.cd an error, and are doing much hurt to the cause of Christ in this city. All tools in the hands of the devil and his angels work to the injury of God’s cause. While we trust in God and do the right, He will fight our battles. WHERE HO YOU TRADE ’ Last week we had something to say to our rouders about places to trade. Taking for granted that every man has the right to engage in business and make a living if he can, we would do nothing to injure any rnau’s busi ness unless we thought it injurious to the community. Yet we appeal to the manhood and race pride of our readers by calling their attention to a few facts : There arc certain houses in this city that do not want the colored trade, and of course they do not respect colored ladies and gentle men. Some of them have gone so far as to tell us they are “not catering after” the colored trade. There arc other houses that always offer inferior goods to a colored person. The names of these houses never appear in this paper. There is a class of merchants who do business for money, and they see it necessary to be obliging and accom modating to all customers, Such we keep before our readers. We men tioned several last week, and would nrge upon our readers to think of these things when they go to trade. You want fresh goods, and not those that have been oj shelves a dozen years and ruined by time and dust— such as you find in auction goods. . If you would be treated right and i get first-nlass goods at bottom prices, j go to T. L. SKKiLE a CO., and you will find one of the larg> t houses, the largest and best assort ment of all kinds of wearing apparel, j notions, dry goods, carpets, &e., in | this city. For pictures, Ac., 11. BAUIKIAKTIX is the place. He is a very fine artist. I and our people make a mistake by having their pictures sent to New York by unreliable persons and never get them again. If yon want pictures enlarged call on Mr. Bantugartcn. If you get siek and must have a doctor you should find PR. J. I. WILLIAMS, one of the most skillful young physi cians iu the city. He has moved his residence to South K street; his office remains at the same place. J. M. UOOPE keeps the oldest, best and most relia ble boarding house for colored people in the city. It is also the host known, and he is still accommodating the public. JNO. S. IIKN PERSON is our barber, and he has the latest improved clippers and sharp raiois, polite and attentive barbers. Strang ers to the city should go to Hender son’s to have their work done— cast Trade street Federal Court Notes. There was a house warming at the new United States Court building Tuesday. The invited guests were the unfortunate violators of the internal revenue laws, most of whom came from Kaudolph. Montgomery, aud Chatham. A Cleveland Stag-Germau was daueed during the day, to music by the Dis trict Attorney aud the U. S. Marshal. There was a striking dissimilarity be tween the home-made spikes and the elegant aud luxurious surroundings of the court room. At ten o’clock Judge Dirk took his seat, aud on invitation Judge Settle occupied a chair by his side. Clerk Payne ealled the Grand Jury and Mr. C. B. Brooks was designated as Foreman. The eharge was brief. The Dis trict Attoney being asked by the Judge if there was any special matter which he wauted explained to the jury, said the question of jurisdiction in the federal building was the only thing. The Judge then charged the jury that alt offenses committed in the building or on the lot were punishable iu the U. S. Court. And he also said that mutilating the furniture or spitting tobacco juice on the carpets should be presented. The court room would not hold one tenth of the parties brought here. Where the Blue Bot.les eould have dug up so many eases was the marvel that astouished everybody. They have been dragged out of every nook aud corner where the smell of beer perfumed the atmosphere. No such crowd has ever liecu seen at a federal court in Greensboro. Oua old geutleman remarked that in stead of repeal!"" the internal revenue laws the democrats had built a fine building to try hlockadcrs iu. and had left ground on which to build a fine jail to hold them. There are 28 democrats. 27 rcpuhli-. cans and 11 colored men on the jury. Aud the funny thiug about it i> that j the Dist. Att’y is challenging repuh- Keans. He evidently feels that only j democrats ecu he trusted to eouvict. ; IVhcu the republicans were in. the Dist. Att’y used to challenge tbe bour bon democrats. Now they an* the | best eouvietors. When the republicans get hack they ' will repeal the internal revenue laws, | and there will he no more such scenes i of hardship as this week witnessed in Greensboro. —Xortk jkuir. Uiilßirtluiiahlc Sin. It has bceu reported that one of our ' popular young men is a pilot for low down white men to decoy poor, weak colored girls from the path of virtue to disgraee and shame. IVe do say, if any young utau in town is guilty of such a crime, he deserves to be hrand cd as a public disgraee. fit only for the ( chain gang, and finally exiled from all that is holy and right We can't understand how a man can stoop so low. It is high time that the Negroes of this country were looking higher. IVe know of no race ou earth that will be guilty of so brutal a crime as beading one of the women of their own race to licentious, dirty rifrafs of another. Ou the contrary, if a Negro is suspect ed of intimacy even with a lewd white womau, his life is in jeopardy, and then hasn't the low-down seulion got a “heap of gaol” to propose to a Negro man to bring to his embrace one of the fair daughters of his own raee? and the Negro that does it ought to stretch rope. —Birmimykttm f.'m It Is The Truth. | News and Kanucr No town can succeed long without j diversified industries. They arc es ■ -initial to the life of the town, each assisting the other aud all giring vi tality to the place. The town that ; shuts itself up to one manufacturing eut rprise Is like the firmer that raises 1 but one crop—its money g<vs Men ; rich others. Several small industries I are worth a great deal more to a town than oue large one, although few 1 seem to think so. a Presiding rider’s Appoiiiliiieliis.
