hold any official positions under the

see where they .have much chance to
do any stealing. The Radical press
: since it can fasten guilt,, on no promi

not particularly of the day light that

A SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT
THE COLORED PEOPLE.
OP
We call the attention of all our read
ere, but especially the colored ones, to
the letter of the Rev. Garland H,
White, President of the new move
ment of the colored people, urging
upon his race to register themselves
upon the side of honest government,
and cut alool from a corrupt ad minis
tration that has so long been using
them as stepping stones to a sordid
ambition and personal greed. The
letter is addressed to S. A. Hudson
(colored) of this city, who has kindly
given it to us lor publication. It is a
manly and outspoken letter, and the
writer strikes the key note when he
says : "1 hope they will and by so do
ing secure for themselves the good
wishes of tbe good people with whom
they must live, and whose interests
are identical with theirs." We hope
every intelligent colored man in the
whole country will reflect upon the
sound doctrines and patriotic senti
ments thus expressed for their con
sideratipn. Many of the colored peo
ple Vre real estate owners, and surely
they ought to see at once that it is to
their interest not only tq be on friend
Iy terms with the respectable whites,
but to support men of integrity and
character who are to impose our taxes
and- frame ; our : laws. ; We earnestly
hope this move on their part will
prove a harbinger of a better and a
mere kindly feeling between the two
races who are thrown .in contact with
each other by fate, who must live in

A LoTing Conpl7-A Frmiur Mother
,:Besorts to the Cowhide.
Bichmond' is , truly Athenian and
everyday brings to " light some new
sensation.. Yesterday's docket shows
a scene which would have stired the
heart of "TheDay' a Doinga" with joy
and satisfaction," and have filled four
columns of that sensational sheet with
a romance delightful 'to its many
eager readers. v,
A young gentleman residing in. this
city, who has for some time been pay-
ine verv devoted attention to one of
Bichmond,8 fair daughters, received
very much to his surprise and joy a
letter from the mother of his fair
inamorata containing a most pressing
and cordial invitation to "call." De
tected at this proof of favor from the
one high in authority, whom he had
so often sought to conciliate and win
over to his cause, and secretly rejoic
ing at the probable happy denoue
ment of his long cherished dream, he
repaired at once to the residence of
his beloved on Jugbteenth street ana
was indescribably happy at his recep
tion. The fond mother, all smiles, met
him at the door and in the most cor
dial and studiously polite manner in
vited him in. in deep gratitude he
grasped her hand and was led into the
parlor. A smile of happiness illumin
ed his placid face and exultation play
ed in every dimple of his cheek. Sud
denly the scene changed, the door
through which he entered was locked,
three men entered the room from a
side doer, and the heretofore aimable
and affable hostess turned on him
with a look that would have withered
the blooming sprig of the "Early
York" in May, and vigorously search
ing her left sleeve with her right hand
darted towards him, at the same time
drawing a cowhide.
Quickly she closed on tne unwary
young man and vigorously ma see
bring her energies to bear. In vain
the agile lover leapt the centre table
and sofas, and with the wings of Mer
cury perambulated the large area o
the parlor: at every turn he was met
by his industrious and terrible assail
ant. Soon a eound of gentle footsteps
was heard, t'was the dainty foot-fall of
the girl he loved. Wildly she rushed
into the room and heroically did she
defend her lover. Immediately she
engaged her furious mother and strug
gled with Spartan courage to disarm
her infuriated parent, another Bound is
heard, another daughter rushes into
the room, and whether impelled by
motives of fillial duty or the stronger
impulse of jealousy and hate, she wild
ly clutched her sister's hair. T'was
Greek meet Greek. An instant and
they were locked in an embrace which
breathed death to the waterfall. The
three men, the mother, and the un
lucky lover stood amazed and watched
the conflict. Wild screams rent the
air, ribbons, pins, and hair covered the
floor, or adorned the chairs ; and at
last, with a groan of exhaustion, and
far above it the wild wail of victory
rose on the air, and the two contes
tants rolled together on the floor.
The young man, taking advantage of
the excitement, lit out of the window
(second story,) and to-day repaired to
the sanctum of the Journal and told
this strange tale of love and trial.

METHODISISM.
An Interesting; Letter from the Ven
erable Divine, Dr. Lovic rierce.
The Methodists of rnorth Carolina
propose to celebrate the centennial of
Methodism in that State, at Releigh,
commencing on the 12 of March next.
Bishop McTyeire is to deliver an ad
dress on the founders of Methodism.
Dr. Lovic Pierce having beep invited
to be present, responds in the follow
ing characteristic style :
"I take it for granted my Tsorth
Carolina friends did not know that I
have lost my voice so that I am sel
dom able to pray in the family. I
have made but one outstanding ap
pointment in two years ; but filled
other men's places nearly every Sab
bath. And now, as to North Caroli
na, how glad I would be to be in it at
this centennial jubilee. I was born in
Halifax county, IS. C-, near Koanoke
river, March the 14th, 1785. So, you
see, my 92d birth day will come otf the
last day of your centennial celebra
tion. I was removed to bouth Uaroli-
na when a child. Was raised in Barn
well District. Heard my first Metho
dist sermon in Augusta, 1802, by
James Jenkins was awakened under
it, and converted in Augusta, 1803
Admitted as a traveling preacher in
the South Carolina conference in
Charleston, Christmas week, 1803.
and traveled Great Pee Dee Creek cir
cuit in' 1805.
That was the nearest I ever got to
North Carolina, although half of it
was in tbe conference. They stuck me
down in Georgia, as a younger presid
mg elder in 1809. bo I have given by
years out of my 91 in the minestry to
tbe dear old Georgia, bouth uarouna
got 1805 to 1808; Alabama in Mont-
gomerv, 1842, and in Mobile, 1843
All
the balance here
They still keep me on the effective
list the greatest honor of my life. It
is what ! have been and not for what
I am now. My dear native state has
only got a few picked op germons.
Raleigh, I think, got one or two small
efforts in 1840. ' But I can hope, by the
time the - second centennial comes
round, she will be all Methodists. I
am now getting afraid -of things that
are high.
Stand night traveling hadly cannot
take care of myself. But I am bent
upon fulfilling my place next May as

and transacted much important busi

eigh as the place of meeting without
very lone discussion, though the claims
of other places were ably and warmly
urged. For the reasons given else
where, Raleigh was finally selected.
On the question of the time there was
prolonged discussion. Strong argu
ments were presented for a time as
early as the 17th of May, and equally
strong ones for some time in July.
The intermediate proposition fixing
the time for the 14 of June was finally
carried.
