PUBLIC SCHOOL".
Senator, John A." Logan laade an
able argument in the Senate cn the
lC'.h in favor of public schools, lie
has offered a bill appropriating all the
Terence from spirits that is collected
by the UTS. Government to public
school purposes. And in his speech he
advocated the adoption of the bill by
Congress with i an argument unan
swerable. The friend ol'public schools
is a friend to the people. indeed. ;And
the thanks f evefv poor man in the
and ia due to the distinguished Sena
tor from Illinois, Jno. A: Logan, for
his efforts in their behalf. We should
think that' the friends of education
could get up petitions to . Congress
praying-the passage of the bill atone?.
Whatever .'.will tend towards Jthe ad
vancement of the people should be sup
ported by the newspapers of. the coun
try, and snail be by us. ,The mechanic
and laboring men are unable to send
their children off to school, therefore
we must have J.hem at horn?, we caa't
have them ! without money atd the otate
will not furnish the money. S thij li'i
of Senator Logan provides for ihilj and
appropriates about iC-5,000,000 to;. pay
the expense of public schools. We hope
the bill will at once pass.' i
Every leading colored mau ia the
state has been made a delegate to the
Goldaboro convention. There can be
no doubt of the amount of brains in
the assemblage : now we hope they will
show equally as much harmony

the Goldfcboro convention is male i p
of. With such! mea we may expect
grand results for the tause of equal
justice
Every colored man t hould iccollect,
when he take3 his teat in the Golds
boro convention,: that te Owes a duty to
himself, to his race and to bis God, ai d
ho should faithfully fulfil tha-. duty.
L3t cycry colore I"man .wlo visits
Goldsboro think only ofjfhe great good
he may accomplish for his race-by con
ducting himself with 'propriety.
. Every colored delegate should study
how he can best serve ' the great cause
of equal rights in the courts of the
state. '". : .'--..."V ' - "'' '
Let the leaders of the colpred people
lay aside all personal prejudices to
wards each 'other and work harmoni
ously for. their people at UsGoldsboro
convention. ''-'"' ".-
Success should be the desire of every
colored man in the convention on the
29th and if proper wisdom prevails
there can b 3.110 doubt of that. , .
; The enemies of the Colored people
are ! in the habiv of- saying that they
cannot hold a harmonious convention.
We hope; the delegates at Goldsboro
will give the lie to that assertion.

. . A noteworthy incident in the Repub
lican Slato Convention of Rhode Is
land on "Thursday, the IGth instant,
was a timely speech by ex-Governor
C. CI VarrZ indt, who wa3 a delesate
from Newport. Theatate tflicers were
renominated by acclamatiou with the
exception f Attorney General :y!ca,'
who preemptorily declined fuither lt
vice. Mr. : Sayles successor wat be
Assistant Attorney General S. 1. Coit.
Governor Van Zsridt, who in the course
of his speech was repeatedly interrupt
ed with applause, said: The' Republi
can party has got to be united to ac
complish anything. It has got to take
by the band such men as Janus G
Blaine and Rocoe Conk ling and 11
the othr representative men who have
fought the battles of this country in
the past and sustain them as well as it
can; not to give them the highest of
fices in -the gift of the country, per
haps, but to remember what those men
have done for the Republican partr
and not to quarrel about their excel
lencies and their defects. There never
was a truer parable spoken, and it
ought to be written ia letters of gold,
that a house divided against itself can
not stand.: All we want to do is to
stand by the principles of the rarty
and if our public men go wrong to set
them7right and not be the followers of
any distinctive man ia the party.

TO THE BEPUJBLICAW OP ICORTH
" CAROLINA. ; j

I, as one of them feel it my duty to
speak in regard to the shameful wayThim and hisopponenlrbe.woald say to
-a -w- t 1 ' M. "VT I x ""t . m ' r H-TT - ft
the colored Republicans of North Car
olina are treated, and I think it is time
that we should open onr eyes to the
great wrong that is being done to as
ia the recognition of oar rights we
might as well sayf we are ( below
zero. From the hands of the national
g6vernmit we receive Mile or no pat-
ronpjr . We labor for its sustenance
ai
uiueu as the whites. Our votes are
of as much value to the Republican
party as theirs. And why is it, my
friends that we are not recognized in
the distribution of its gifts whereby we
can live as well as the whites? ! ,
TFfiy I ask? Is it not time for us to
see the great neglect that is being
hown us? " In "Washington uity where
the. great government departments are,
there is a great deal of work carried on.
work of a thousand or more different
kinds, and work that the black man
nd, woman can do just as well as the
whites. .There is work to do that those
who have never seen a book, and don't
1 - -
know A from B, can do; still the black
man and woman neyer get it and the
whites get it almost regardleis cf
morals, and if there comes a cause
for his removal it takes a j world
of power to send him out. Now, just
et a colored man go to Washington,
specially from Nerth Carolina, and
try for a place, if it isy only to clean
spittoons, sweep and scrub, and ten to
one he will : be dilly-dallied with for a
year or more, and at the end get noth
ing. You go to the Representatives of
the party, that you have Voted for to
send, there, and ask T them to go with
you around to the several departments
and help-you to get a situation, and
they answer, "I hay'ot theiime at pres
ent, but come around at such and such
a time, and I will try and spare you a
little while' You go as per promise,
and when you meet them it is this.
Really, So and co, I have not the time
to to-day; I have some very important
business to attend to." And that is
the case every time you? see them
While some of this important business
is helping the white man to get aejitu-
ation. ,v- :
There are two. Representatives, to my
knowing- that will not come under the
above accusation, those two are the
Hon. John A. Hyman andlhe lion.
Olando Hubbs. The first named gen
tleman succeeded in securing about 3$
or 3? appointments while he was there,
and out of that nHmber only three or
four whites Does that not" show that
fie did not forget his race? A nd shculd
we not give him great credit yes.
Though a great many whites Have ill
icill to-day lor getting appointments for
so many colored men. j "'
jHon. Olando Hubbs, the present Ue
publican -member of Congress (Vein
North Carolina, is doing a good part by
us. He is not one to tell the black
man I ean't and. the white man I can
But he treats them all alike; and savs
if anything can be done for you I wil
certainly do it. And what more can
we expect of any matt some that
have applied to him and have not been
successful, forget that it takes time for
all . things, and seem to think that he
(Hubbs); should go around to all the
departments until he gets them a place,
hot caring whether he sees inside the
House at the Capiial or no. That is
too much-to ask of any one. lie is
one I believe that is ever faithful
ful to his duties, for athjs post you
will find him! alltimes Ve should
take care of such leadersWmy friends.
and when tbey are nominjued for otSce
let os. give them our bArty support
and keep them where they will do
good for our party and par rsce.
While . these two gentlemen have
done the good part by us there
are others cf; the Republican leaders
who have refused to. help us at all only
in a way to secure our votes. Once iu
a while the masses are aroused to this
great qncstion and sgitate it for aJittle
while. .They push the colored leaders
to the fioat and tell them 1 to .fight for
their rights and they shall be upUld
Will our cood colored leading Repub
licans begin tbe strike aad work very
earnestly until some of the wishy-was&y
white Republicans, Mr. A. or B, that

I have visited and inspected 20

There are cily 22 ia the

are ot

or at Uastkhat is iLt excuse.
I have found the schools generally
in good condition, especially where t
could get- tbe teacher to sgree to have
a public examination at the c!os3
the fchbol. I shall make it a point
in
the: future that if a teacher will not'
agree to have a public exhibition at
the expiration cf his term,-! will not
recommend such teacher to be employed,
f r I have learneJ by experience that a
work oiaii who is not willing to have
hi woik examined is not wctthy f
patrorge.

We clip the editorial below from our
valuable contemporary the Goldsbcro

xuerc is uiuvu irjuitiuf; mi ceriaia.
S 1 til 1 ... w.
circle of Goldsboro society about Jamc s
H. Hatcher's arrest in connection with
the postoflke steal. ' j
If the young man is guilty as charged
by John R. Smith and the immaculate
ex-Postmaster ; H. L. Grant, he should
be punished to the fullest extent of the
law, and this is the general expression
of the colored people ia Goldsboro. -
Rut whatsoever disgrace is attached
to this stealing, does not in any way
affect the colored people in this com?
munity, but rather falls with heavy
weight upon the management of the
Goldsboro postoffice and upon the
ahOulders of onr inefficient and unlet
tered postmaster. First, because the
Dos tm aster emoloved Hatcher on his
own accord and contrary to the wishes
of the colored cittasns of Wayne coun
tv. Second. Hatcher was not indorsed
or recommended by. a single colored
persoa -in ooldsboro, and notwith
standing the : colored citizens re
commended two worthy and compe
tent colored gentlemen for the position.
Jhn . R. SnitU told it in Democrat -tic
circles" that hewould not employ
any one of the negroes recommended,
and this declaration he kept to the let
ter. But what did he do? lie picked
a Kaw halwaan IT sti n rl -I V raa ra r F
,fnst. th(l -;.hM of lhftJ calrrPtl
people, puts him in the postoface, and
ia alU probability for ths purpose of
disgracing the boy and the colored peo
ple in general.
The Democrats and hungry , white
office-seeking. horn-shoggUng Republi
caaa are pointing' their fore-finger at
the editor of the ttiar for forcing. Joan
R. Smith to take a negro in the of5ce.

. In an article entitled "Esibetici&m
Old and' New," t9r Continent aptly
f says:
"AS lor cutious fancies of fljwcrs

the new estbeticism. as yet undefined
and restless, is a standing rebuke to the
gross materialism and grikding utilita
rianism of the age. The satire is based
upon truth thai England has become
'a nation of shopkeepers.' What are
her idolt? Material power, revenue
lands and goods. And the training of
the - intellect has been mainly that it
may conduce to these creature com
forts.; Now there is something belter
than (Oil this an ideal lor which the
great be nurtured and trained. It is
the realm of taste, of which ideal beau
ty is queen. Only let us return to one
thought: as Plato declared that there
could be no beauty without goodneis
and Oousintfound the perfect ucsiuine-
ment j of beauty in God, so let us be
vieilant lest the new etheliciia be
come a pander to vice and a foe to the
pure religion and undefiied which, ac
cording to tbe Apostle, find its expo
nonet and allustratioa in charity- and
purity."
