Your co-operation with them and their co-operation with you, in business as well as public affairs, are unavoidable, and should be conducted on the basis of mutual respect, confidence and es teem.

We are equal before the law with the white man, and we make and administer laws, sit as jurors, mer chandize, work at our respective trades, ride or walk the streets un molested and we and our families have never been refused any place in the cars, which we have selected, and I believe that justice has been meted out to our race generally in Warren county.

Due regard to the just wishes of my constituents, compels me earnestly to protest against the appointment of Kobert M. vvescott, as inspector of customs at Smithville Brunswick Co. upon tne recommendation of D. Rum- ley Esq. collector of Wilmington, who is the man Mr. Rumley caused to be delegated to Smithville to take charcre of the interest of the Government with care firmness and dignity, and to have his commands obeyed? I answer the question with the words of my con stituents, an immature unsettled and verdant youtn of 21, feeble in health. with experience no longer than what is acquireu ueumu me count r ol a small country-grocery. Politically tho jau is a parasite, neitner comprehend ing tne nign interest ol the Government, nor understanding the policy of oartins. yet now reaay to cast his still virgin vote lor him he can no longer wallop. and for office-sake is constrained to swallow, the "nigger". If, as I am assured, Democrats and Republicans, white .and colored, all alike are scandalized at the Collectors recommendation. I can but crive the public expression to the merited cen- sure oi a course conaemnea Dy all as AT an imposition upon the department, a aenance to all civil service reform. ad an outrage upon the general "fit ness of things."

All the News and full of Pictures The Daily Graphic is the title of a newspaper, puoiisnea in jsexv xorK, which is achieving: the most remarkable journalistic success ever chronicled. It is an eight-page evening paper (inree editions daily), elegantly printed, and conducted by tho ablest editorial talent attainable. As a newspaper the Daily Graphic stands in the first rank, and contains regularly The Very Latest and Fullest News from all Parts of the World Its great feature consists in the fact that it is not only a newspaper, but an illustrated newspaper as well. Four of its pages are filled with choice reading matter telegrams, editorials, general and local news, items, gossip, and cor respondence on the freshest and most interesting topics. The remaining four pages consist of Sl'LEDID ILLUSTRATIONS, executed in the most faultless and ar tistic style, and portraying accurately and fully all leading events within twenty-four hours after their occurrence. Those who have made journalism a study, and fully appreciate the great enterprise maniiestea in tne collection and publication of news by th aid of the telegraph, steam presses, and the development of journalistic talent, have been fond of advancing the theory that the next advance in that field would re sult in a newspaper furnishing in its regular issues pictures of all current prominent events. That theory is a theory no longer ; the newspaper of the future is the newspaper of to-day, and that paper is the Daily Graphic. The processes which render this marvellous achievement an existing fact are the re sult of the most careful study and an endless variety of experiments, gradu ally perfected during the past twelve years. They depend upon improve ments in lithography and the applica tion of the photographic camera. By their aid a picture is engraved and made ready to print in from twenty minutes to two hours. Costly and elaborate plates, works of arts, scenes of interest, are reproduced and pictured forth with equal facility and the most scrupulous fidelity.' Illustrations of leading events are engraved and prepared for tne press even before the accompanying written narrative or description leaves the hands of the compositor. For the proper practical working of so great an enterprise, THE GRAPHIC COMPANY was formed, with. A Capital of $500,000 in Gold, months and months before the first is sue of the Daily Graphic, the most extensive preparations were made, and to-day THE GRAPHIC COMPANY has The Liargrest and Ittost Complete Newspaper Establishment in the United States i In the great work of illustrating the- events of the day an extensive corps oi the best known and most accomplished artists are constantly engaged.
