COL-
A convention of colored people will
be held in Raleigh October 18, to cor.i
eider the present condition of the col
ored race and to devise means for its
amelioration, m orally and physically.
The subject of the enormous death
rate among the negroes of the South
will be discussed, and that, indeed, is a
topic worthy the Consideration of the
convention during the entire session.
It is stated that in Richmond, Va., the
average of deaths among colored peo
ple is fully twice as great as among the
whites. During the week ending Au
gust 28, fourteen white persons died
there and twenty-five colored. The
official report for the corresponding
week last year shows that the . total
number of deaths among the whites
was only eleven, while1 of the colored
population twenty-eight persons died.
The official mortuary report of Mem
phis, Tenn., shows that during the year
1876 there were 652 deaths among the
white population and 601 among the
colored, or in other words, considering
the proportion of white and colored
inhabitants, the death-rate among the
colored was nearly four times as great
as among the' whites. During the
months of July and August of this
year the official reports show that more
than five colored persons . died to one
white. This is not an isolated case.
The mortuary reports of Charleston,
New Orleans, Savannah, Augusta, At
lanta and Mobile all indicate that the
colored people have fallen into modes
of life disastrous both to their physi
cal and moral condition.
Comm enting upon these startling sta
tistics, the Louisville CourierJoumal
well remarks : There is no necessity
for such mortality. The Republicans,
who secured special legislation for
these unfortunate people, had an eye
solely to the political use to be made
of them. They 'provided ajbank where
in to entrap the negroes' hard-earned
dollars and steal them, but there is no
evidence that they ever did anything
for their souls or bodies. The New
York Times, a professed advocate of
negro supremacy in the Southern
States, says, in regard to negro mortal
ity : 'The causes which lead to this ter
rible death-rate among the .colored
people need not long be sought after.
They are only too apparent to those
who are conyersant with the modes of
life of the negroes of the cotton States.
They neglect or starve their offspring,
aoanaon me sick to meir own re
sources, indulge every animal passion
to excess, and, when they have money,
spend their nights in the most disgust
ing and debilitating debauches. All
these facts naturally lead to the ques
tion, are the negroes going the way of
the Indian,arethey being 'civilized from
off the face of the earth V ' If left to
their Republican 'friends' they would
undoubtedly be wiped out. The South
ern negroes, however, find that the
only real friends they have, and those
who are willing to afford all the aid in
their power, are the Southern white
people.
"The convention to assemble at Ral
eigh is an important one. 'Tne negroes
want sound medical advice. They
need to be instructed in the laws of
health. And as this convention indi
cates a disposition to get at the root of
the mortality problem, discussion of
8n intelligent character and the advice
of experienced medical men will go
far toward inaugurating sanitary re
form." EXACTLY SO.
Whatever we may think of his poli
tics, that was a very excellent speech
made Wednesday in the New York
Republican State Convention by Mr.
T. C. Piatt, the temporary chairman.
An intelligible outline of it came to
yesterday's Observer by telegraph,
and in view of the interest which
attached to this convention by reason
of the prominent part which it was
known. Mr. Conkling would act in it,
we have no doubt the proceedings
have been read with care.
Mr. Piatt shows a keen appreciation
of the political situation in the South
when he says that "the Republican or
ganization in nearly every Southern
State is demoralized and paralyzed and
practically crushed out." There can
be no doubt as to the truthfulness of
this assertion. The nezro vote has
been hopelessly divided, and -deprived
of this element oC strength to what
element in the South can the Republi
can party look for success in future
elections? Mr. Piatt sees that there is
none at all, and is frank enough to
confess an unpleasant .fact which it is
useless to deny. "To-day,"- says he,
'the Hamptons, Hills and Lamars
will caress the hands . that restore
them to power, but vote the Democrat
ic ticket to-m orrow ; and forever."
Precisely so, except as to the caresses.
The "Southern Democracy is in no
way likely to go over, to Mr. Hayes
and his ; party because he does a thing
or twowmcn tne commonest aictates
of justice and fair-dealings demand of
him." f Mr. Hayes may. have thought
we were so purchasable as this, but Mr.
Piatt and. other of the more penetrat
ing .Republican leaders of the North
never believed this way, and events
are proving and will prove that the
latter class afe more' correct in their
estimate of the. Southern character.
We have said more than once hefore
this" time, that the only adverse effect
which this 8ocalled '"policy" of the
President was5 at ;alliikeiy : to ; have,
would be I upon his own party; t and
.therefore it has been rjassiner strange
ta us that any I Southern; Democrat
should cry. out -unnecessarily: against
father proof
,! sary. out of the mnntli nf ihU
tne jf resiaent. That we are right, is
was neces

MORTALITY AMONG THE
OHCD race.
He acknowledges that the President
has alienated his own party friends and
has gained no political, support from
the people ot tne toutn. xnis w a
manifest fact. Then why do Southern
psople want to decry Mr. Hayes con-
tiuuaUy and drive him from the con
ciliatory course which he has adopted
and which is breaking his own party
into countless fragments ? We confess
that we can see no sense in this. If he
chooses to pursue a policy which will
advance our material welfare, and at
the same time divide his own party
and make ours yet stronger, we con
ceive that we are npt the proper source
from which a clamor against him
should arise. Piatt, Blaine, Conkling,
Chandler, Chamberlain, and the like,

When their denunciations cease we
may khow that it is time for ours to

Key Defends the "Erring1 Brethren"
Remark.
Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.j
At the banquet to-nigbt-Bostmaster
General Key explained his use of the
term "erring brothers" at the .Benning
ton celebration, . saying that he had
a reception at that place that even ex
ceeded in enthusiasm that given the
President himself ; and that feeling
very good he supposed he had been
so applauded because he was one of
the "erring brothers" from the South.
The sentiment was received with great
applause, and the next day he was
surprised to find exception taken to
the phrase by Judge Brought on who
said : 'Yeu rebels filled the land with
widows and orphans, killed five hun
dred thousand of the best men of the
nation, and plunged us $2,000,000,000
in debt, and yet you talk of this as
mere error of judgment.' I was
more surprised to learn shortly after
that umbrage had been taken at it by
my southern mends also. JNow,
fought in the rebellion and did all
that I could to make it successful, and
when it was over I was sorry that
had not been able to fight more.
nave no penitence to oner lor my
course then and 1 am not sorry for l
now. i But what did our fighting
amount to I It cannot be controvert
ed that there would never have been
a Union ot these states if it bad not
been that slavery had been guaranteed
protection, ihere is no doubt of this
fact, and when our rights in this mat
ter wer infringed on we said we would
not submit to it, and we took up arms
and went to war, and after fighting for
years we were whipped. What good did
all our fighting do? If it did any good at
all, it freed the slaves, if you call that a
good, and that was something that we
did not go to war for. If we had
not gone to war, slavery would exist
to-day in the Southern States, and
many of the thousands who lost their
lives in battle would to-day be walking
around as proud of port and braye as
we are. If to lose all that you fought
for, and to have that done that you
did not wish done, was not a mistake
and an error, I don't know what the
meaning of those words are."
Mr. Key continued in this strain for
sometime, and much wonder express
ed when hnished at his singular phrase
oiogy usea in speaKing ot the pecu
liar institution, while Key was speak
ing, the President kept his eyes cast
down on the table ; and judging by his
flushed face and the expression of his
countenance, he evidently feared that
his cabinet minister was putting his
foot in it. Key himself seemed to en
tertain the same opinion, for he quit
speaking quite abruptly, and during the
delivery of his remarks he stammered
as if not certain of his words, or uncer
tain of their effect. Taken altogether
it was a singular speech, and one that
would cause considerable difference of
opinion as to its propriety.

county board of education, the amount
of fines that has been imposed by the
mayor for breaches of the peace, &c,
claiming that by virtue of article 9,
section 5, of the amended Constitu
tion, sections 7 and 8 of schedule "C."
of the revenue act, and section 2 of
the consolidated school law, this fund
necessarily belonged to the county
school fund. The attorney claims the
full amount of fines from the year
1868, which amounts to several thou
sand dollars, and will enter his suit ac
cordingly. This we consider a fine
omt of law and as the decision of the
upreme Court, to which the action
will undoubtedly go, will be invoked,
it is an important matter to every town
and city in the State. Should the Su
preme Court decide in favor of the at
torney s. demand, a peremptory man
damus can be issued against all the
towns and cities in the State for the
immediate payment to the school com
mittee of all fines imposed by the may

Senator Thur man, of Ohio, made a
speech at Marion, in that State, last
Saturday, in which he claimed that
Mr. Tilden was -fairly elected .Presi
dent ; that the count by the Louisiana
and Florida returning - boards was
fraudulent, and that the action of the
electoral commission in refusing to
hi ar evidence of want of jurisdiction
in the returns of those States was
clearly wrong. He also claimed that
the s policy of President Hayes was
precisely -what the Democratic party
had contended for during the past ten
years. -As an evidence of the necessity
for reform in the national administra
tion he instanced the case of Secretary
of, the Treasury Sherman, a useless
array of whose relatives he claimed
had fed upon the government for
years, drawing pay for no service what-5
ever to the amount of nearly $2,000,

to the finances Mr. Tburman said to

of the "dollar of the fathers ' as an act

Looking; for His Brother.
The Pathetic Story of a Sidewalk Snoozer
A Fervent'Oration' from Justice Knox
From the Virginia (Sev.) Chronicle i
Yesterday afternoon John Clifton
was up before Justice Knox for being
on his beer, lie pleaded guilty, but said
that he came to town a few days ago
to look for his brother. He inquired
of this man and that man for the
whereabouts of his relation: and some
how he was unable to pump informa
tion out of anything until he ; had set
up the drinks. The first thing he knew
was that the sidewalk was rolling like
the billows of tha vasty deep and lamp
posts were crashing about like ice
bergs in the Polar sea; and then the
strong arm of Bui Da via took him
down to the station-bouse - and after
all he hadn't found his brother.
His Honor pressed his fingers to
his forehead for a second or two and
remarked : "The world is full of such
men as you. We are all looking for
something. An old maid comes West
looking for a husband, and' winds up
by running a sewing-machine in a bag
factory. Again, a man .strikes the
coast looking for a soft , place to estab
lish Sunday school," and . the first
thing you know he's robbing stages on
the Downieville or Black Hills road.
I came out here from the happy home'
of my childhood to get elected United
States Senator, and here I am a simple
justice of the peace, throwing the
pearls of rhetoric and good advice be
fore an inebriated galoot that can't
appreciate the favor shown him. Now
know what disappointed ambition is,
and I appreciate the feelings of a man
who looks for something he doesn t
find. I'll give you twelve hours to leave
town and go down to Carson. If you
are caught within the city limits after
that, any policeman is liahle to take
you in."
Discussing: a Cure for Inebriety.
The American Association for the
cure of inebriates has just held a ses
sion in Chicago. At the outset they
discussed the question whether drunk
enness is a disease. Dr. C. T. Widney,
superintendent of the St. Louis Sani
tarium, told an incident to show that
it was difficult often impossible for
a man given up to the habit of drink
ing to stop without the assistance of
medical treatment. The case was that
of a man who tried so earnestly
through years to quit drink by his own
volition that he beggared himself,
caused separation from his family, and,
in his abject wretchedness, came to a
pass where he had but one desire and
one care for drink. At this stage
the case was treated as one of disease,
and in a short time the man was
cured. Two years have passed and he
is still firm in his reformation, and an
upright, good citizen. Dr.C. W. Earle,
of Chicago, read a paper in which he
opposed the idea that alcoholism is a
disease. To so term it was to destroy
the whole responsibility of the mdivid
ual. Dr. Wilson advocated that it was
better to treat tne opium habit by a
gradual reduction of the dose. He had
tried belladonna, but was not satisfied
with it. "In too many cases so-called
substitutes or remedies consisted of
opium in another form. The imme
diate withdrawal of the drug usually
causeu aiarrnoea, insomnia ana rest
lessness, sometimes going so far as to
endanger the life of the patient." The
doctor had found that more of those
who were treated gradually recovered
permanently than of those subjected
to the heroic treatment contended for
by Dr. Earle and Dr. Brothers, who
favored the plan of cutting off the
supply at once in the treatment of
both opium eating and alcoholism.
Two "Poor
Lo's" for
tiary.
the Peniten-
Graham Superior court was enliven
ed bv the appearance of two of
the aborigines of the country (Cherokee
Indians) at the bar of the court, charg
ed with appropriating other people's
property to their use without com
pensation. It might be inferred that
the Indian not being well versed in the
ways of the white man was only keep-
-A J" -
ing up a custom oi long stanumg
among them tnat an property was
held in common, but the white man
could not see it that way and insisted
that the case must be disposed of ac
cording to white man's usage. The
first one put on trial was Willoukee,
indicted for the larceny of one Am
nion's sawgnilla (horse) and after a
patient investigation and exhaustive
argument of counsel, the jury returned
a verdict oi guilty, wnen Aanan-ne-tee-goo-yat-s
tee-ken or sentence passer,
(Judge) thought the public good re
quired that Willoukee serve a term of
nve years in uo-tun-noi-se-toh-stoo-te-
yeh or big jail house (penitentiary.)
Esiah Uolonechastee was then put
on trial lor appropriating jurs. Ji-aty
Devaughn's bridle buttons, and a deck
or two of cards. It came out in evi-
dence.however that the cards stolen was
a euchre deck, with register attached.
His Honor s little explanation of a
euchre deck and register in his charge
to the jury was entirely satisfactory.
The result was that Esiah got euchred,
and was sent to the big jail house for
three years. Clierofcee Herald.

, Miasma Rendered Powerless,,
The most certain way to render powerless
the miasmatic vapors which produce chills
and fever and other malarious disorders, is
to fortify the system against them with
that matchlees preventive of periodic fevers
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The remedial
operation of the Bitters iB no less certain
than their preventive effects, and they may
be relied upon to overcome cases of fever
and . ague which resist quinine and the
mineral remedies of the pharmacopoeia.
Dyspepsia, constipation, bilious complaints,
rheumatic ailments and general debility,
likewise rapidly yield to their regulative and
tonic influence. They are an incalculable
blessing to the weak and nervous of both
sexes, an excellent family medicine, and the
best safeguard which the traveler or emi
grant can take to an unhealthy climate.
