James Hill, of Mississippi, is visiting Washington, and is the guest of Senator Urucc. A Virginia debating club lus docided that Fred. Douglas is a greater orator than Henry Ward Bccchcr. Colonel Hubert Harlan, of Cincinnati, is tho guest of his son, Robert, Junior, who has recently become a pennancut resident of Washington. Wo call tho attention of our read ers to tho magnlticint letter of tho Hon. Geo. Williams, of Ohio. His suggestions are seasonable and to tho point. Hon. P. 1). $. Pinchback is in Washington. Iiis understood that an important Government appointwent has been, or will be, tendered him by tho president. It is reported that Professor Halo G. Parker, of St. Louis, considers his babv cirl iusta tri 11 o sweeter than j any mortal that cvor existed. It is also reported that his attentions to her aro not less assiduous than those paid to his girl in collcgo days. Wo had tho pleasure of seeing a very beautiful present tho other day inscribed to Koscoe Conkling Uruco, and though tho names of his uncles and his cousins wcro not among tho donors, It will bo nono tho less appre ciated by him, becauso it camo from his amiable aunts. Mr. John Greon. advanco agent of Mr. Samuel Lowcry, of Huntsvillo, Alabama, is in the city. Ho will visit tho important cities of this Stato to arrango for tho delivery of lectures by Mr. Lowcry, upon tho condition of tho colored people in Alabama. Wo aro pationtly awaiting a Demo cratic boom for Hoop, tho Shelby villo hero. Why wouldn't ho bo an avail ablo man for th bra to run for Con gress or for tho 'Governorship? Wo hall await thoction of tho copper head boomerangs;. Tho bill for tho abolition of slavery in Cuba has passed tho Spanish Sen ate, so the cable ' informs us. Spain has' been decreeing and resolving and theorizing about the abolition ot Cuban slavery long enough. Wo want to seo something practical and wo trust this movement is tho beginJ Irring of n legal process thatwill speed ily eradicate the foul blight from the Queen of tho Antilles. Moanlirao let the slaves continUe to shoot, stab and burn; let the whole world be made to

seo that the existence of a beast who

traffics in human flesh is as uncertain as the breezes that fan the warm breast of that beautiful isle. senator voornecs once said, in a n s political speech delivered, in Terre Haute, while he was a candidate for Congress, that if the contest was very close, and ho was in danger of defeat, but could be elected through the assistance of a few Neirro votes, he would decline to roceivo them. He preferred defeat to success through Negro votes. While- this was declin ing honors before they were proffer ed for it is not recorded that any Negro was pining away with a consuming desire to cast his ballot for the Superior Knight of the Copper head Golden Circl yet Daniel reccived his preference and was defeat cd. His present anxiety about Ne gro immigration to this State is probably owing to the fact that he fears the influence of the climatic change upon the North Carolinians will cause somo of them to lose their wits and vote for him hereafter. We take pleasure, however, in informing our Junior Senator that we will consti tute ourselves into a vigilance committee to seo that none of them com mit 6uch an unpardonable crime. John Hoop, of Shelbyville, editor ottho olunteer, and a refugee in Canada lrom tho dratt during the late ........ i war, distinguished himsefin that city ast week, by organizing a mob of drunken Democrats, for tho purpose of assaulting a party of North Caroina immigrants, composed very a I argoiy ox women and .children, who ney supposed wcro going to stop it l! , .... I mere, u is ionunaio lor tneso women and children that they did not get off at Shelbyville; for although John Hoop and his drunken hooduuiB wro too cowaruiy to rcspona I to their country's call in tho hour of poril, thoy would not havo hesitated to stone, club, or shoot down theso dcfonselcss pcoplo, had thoy dared to get off tho train. If John Hoop did run uwny to Canada rather than faco Southern bullets, ho can bo found at tho front when it comes to fighting .. . women and children. Almost every pronounced coward, like this felloe, can bo depended upon to mako his connubial partner and all tho women folks about him walk tho chalk lino. Hoop is a bravo man, after tho copperhead fashion. f n another column wo present entiro Senator Bruco's bill for tho distribution of tho unclaimed pay and bounty of colored soldiers. A balance of $510,000 remains in the Treasury of tho United States to tho credit of deceased colored soldiers. Senator Bruco proposes to distributo this money, or krathcr tho interest accru- - - I ing, in equal parts among tho cducational institutions of tho country which aro specially dovotcd to tho training of colored youth. A noblor disposition of this money could not bo made nono to which our noblo dead could their vqiccs bo heard, would moro willingly assent.

A QUEBY.

Dr. Ij. II. Tumor Et AI. The telegraphic dispatches an nounced a 1W days ago that a vessel had sailed from New York with sev-enty-five emigrants for Liberia, Af rica. Thu another colony of poor, ignorant and misguided colored peop,e havo' ien deluded lrom their home8 to b dei;verpd nr ' cr: fieo to thfl trcacherm,a and deftdiv climatic diseases of equatorial Africa Wo would like to ask the hypocritical paupers who constitute the African Colonization Society, aud Dr. Tur ner, of Philadelphia, and a few other promihent colored men who aro ad vocating this Liberian business, why they do not themselves pack up and emigrate to this invitincand salubriQug climate? Liberia needs talent more man it does muscle, me country is very poorly governed, and needs intelligent men to raise the political standard. Such men as Dr. Turner and the Colonization paupers can do more good than laborers. Let them go, anyhow. They can be spared. The Shelbyville Outrage. At Shelbyville, tho other day, a mob of Democrats assembled at the denot with the avowed purpose of mobbing an immigrant train. They A. piled stones on the platform before the arrival of tho train, and when the train came up they hooted at the immigrants and threatened dire ven trance on any immigrant who dared l0 put his foot on Shelby soil. The immigrants were ticketed through to ' Indianapolis, and, wo aro informed, iad no intention of stopping at Shel bvvillo. No direct assault was made. and the immigrants camo on through to Indianapolis. Tho conduct of these Shelbyville Democrats is a diszraee to tho State, and an outrago which should not go unrcuuked. ut ono thing they may just as well make a note, and that is, that the pcoplo of Indiana will not allow any Missis sippt plans to bo Introduced into their State. All the colored pcoplo who wish to coino to" this Stato will bo welcomed and protected. If mobs attempt to prevent immigrants from coming to this Stato, thoy will bo met by forco and thoy will bo crushed. "Unwise Candldaolea." Under tho above caption tho Indianapolis Journal of Wednesday 6ivcs John Sherman and other Ohio candidates somo excellent advice. Tho fact of tho matter is, Ohio will stand about the pamo ch'anco of get ting tho candidato for tho presidency as she did of getting tho National Convention. Tho sensible thing for Ohio to do is to sottlo on somo candidato outsido of Ohio and stick' to him with tho samo tenacity that she did to Haves. In tho event of - his nomination and election ho might appoint a fow of her illustrious citi zons to office. But by supporting John Sherman or any Ohio man sho simply throws awayoven tho possibil ity of being on tho winning side. Wo quote tho Journal's closing paragraph and simply add, "Them's our sonti raents:" "And whilo wo aro on tho subject, with all kindnoss to Mr. bhcrman l ii ii. i. .. i r i.i - I rw anu uu vuo uaiunco w im guou vmu men, wo declaro it to bo our sincero conviction that any man nominated from Ohio in tho coming contost will bo from three to fivo thousand votes weaker in each of tho other Western States than an ' equally good man taken from another Stato. There aro thousands of good men throughout tho country, who boliovo they havo been waiting at tho gato for the past threo years for tho Oh loans all to get through, and many of thorn 'could provo it, too, if old Bill Jones was aliv." Mr. Lowry,of Alabama, is now in our city.' Wo lean not hotter stato tho object of his; .visit than by quoting tho following from the Tolodo Blade: ; , . "Ho is interested in securing an endowmeut for an educational instituI . W a a a a lt tion in lluntsvillo, Ala., which aims . n iL.

-ail nor. in rapid growth ot our manufactures of that fabric calls for

a similar development of the supply of the crudo material within our boundaries. The looms of New Jersey which aro supplied from Franco and Italy, should bo fed from vjuvigiu, ooum Carolina ana Aia L ' 4 t . uama. ii-tne whites and negroes oi those states can be taught sencul tural, so as to enable them to com A- A II . pete succeesiuuy with crowers in South Europe, and we believe they can then an enormous advance h&s been made in their position in life, as well as a great addition to the material prosperity of their section. BiuoKaBuanaa Quite a numberof prominent names are being mentioned for the Governorship of Indiana. .Republicans no longer concede that Indiana is a Democratic State. On the contrary, they are positive that Indiana will seccdof rom the solid South at the next election. Among those prominently mentioned are several Indianapolis tans Col. A. D. Straight, Gen. John Coburn and Hon. John Caven. Wo again desire to call Senator VoorheeVattention to the fact that the short crops and tho agitation in Ireland may lead to a heavy Irish immigration to this country. These people are poor, and some of those who will not do for policemen and railroad laborers, may become a charge on the public. Daniel ought to look into this matter and prevent any such occurrence. We trust that the editor of the India napolis Leader will enlighten the editor of the Argus as to the material condition of the colored people of Indiana and at he Fame time as to the general prosperity of the State. We think no one will doubt that Indiana produces in value more Ag ricultural products than North Carolina; and that she spends more in education; rom which we would conclude that there are more people in actual want in the lat ter state than in the city of Indianapolis. People's Advocate, Washington, D. C. We'll do it right willingly. North Carolina sustains about tho relation o Indiana in point of enterpriso, woalth, 6chool facilities and the arts and customs of civilization in crenoral that a tadpole docs to a well developed frog. Within tho last decade her Capital city, Indianapolis, has doubled her population thanks to an exodus of colored and white peoplo from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennesseo and other States. Tho increase in woalth despite tho panic and other adverse circumstances, has not boen less marked. Indiana has broad acres of tho best land in tho world lying idlo or but poorly cultivated for want of laborers. Sho has rich and inexhaustible coal fields that aro ready at any timo to yield up their treasures to tho hand of industry, for man's enjoyment. She has room for thousands of honest, earnest, hard-working people, and troubles herself not at all as to tho color of their eyes, hair or skin. Of courso poor men who como to Indiana must expect hardships for a timo. They may expect to work hard and livo close. Indiana is no place for tramps and sluggards, hence tho average Southern rebel leach who lives by robbing and defrauding others would not bo welcomed with any degree of enthusiasm. Philanthropists would not roceivo them with open hands and hearts. Tho Christian pcoplo of tho North would not opon the doors of their churches and dwellings to shelter him and his helpless offspring from tho driving blast. The Leader's motto, "An equal chanco and fair play," is Indiana's mcssago to tho honest industrious mon of every race. Less than' this would bo on a plane with Southern ruffians; more would wrong somebody. The colored men of tho South who wish to better their condition by. corning to Indiana, need pay no attention to the mad ravings of Democratic politicians. They will find employment in Indiana at a reasonable compensation, and they will bo honestly paid for honest labor. Their political rights will bo recognized and respected. At tach election in Indiana all citizens will bo protocted in the right to cast one untrameled ballot and to havo that ballot honestly counted. Indlanians believe in and honor tho sontimont that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with the inalienablo rights of lifo, liberty and thejpursuit of happiness. Xhis,brother Argus, is the first chapter in the "en lightmont" task imposed upon us by your enterprising contemporary, the Advocate. .' . . "

This is what a colored member of

the Virginia Legislature, a readjuster, expects for the colored people. We clip the item from an interview 'in tho Richmond (Virginia) Star: Member: We shall get many of the judgeships, j We shall get colored men placed on the jury. We shall have colored men appointed as clerks in the basement offices, clerks and watch men at tho penitentiary, colored po licomen and many othor places which it will be in the power of tho Keadjusters to help us to. Besides there is much more to be done and will be done which von will learn of in due season. I have told you this much that it might be published to the people at large, and that it may be encouraged. We also intend to repeal many of the obnoxious laws now on the statute books. Letter from the Hon Geo. W. Williams, the Colored Member of the Ohio Legislature Columbus, O., Dec. 22, 1879. Editor Leader Dear Friend: Per mit me to tbank you for the friendly notice you made of my election and speech on the night of the 14th of October. My only apology for this tardy reply is, that I was called to New York city immediately af ter my election, to aid in tho canvass there; and since my return to Ohio, I have been exceedingly busy. 1 want to say that Tho Leader is, without doubt, the liveliest and clean est newspaper printed by colored men in the United States. I say this, remembering that I was once the owner and editor of two papers one published at Washington City, with such men us Wm. Lloyd Garri son, Wendell Phillips, Fred'k Douglass, Dr. Alex.' Urummell, John M. Langston, Richard T. Greener, and other ablo men of both races, as contributors; and the othor pjblished in Cincinnati, O.V gathering news from ffvo States. Tho Leader deserves success, and must bo sustained. Lot tho leading colored men of tho Southwest and Northwest use their influence to secure paying subscribers. Put me down on your list for a copy for ono year, and send mo your bill. Colored journals aro needed to send light and information into the homes of our poople,;nnd to uso a keen pen in reforming the pnvnto and public morals and conduct of a pcoplo who, though physically free, aro slaves to many pernicious and obsolete habits incident to a life of bondaeo. Goon in your noblo effort to fashion a peoplo into a race that will livo for gen erations undor tho best forms of Caucassian civilization. Fraternally, Geo. W. Williams Oenator Drucks Bill for tho Distri bution of th? Unpaid Bounty of Colored Soldiers, Introduced December 10th, 1870.

Address of tho Immigrant Belief Board to tho Public. At a mass meeting of the colored citizens of Indianapolis, held in Bethel A. 31. E. church, on Monday evening, tho 24th of November, the un

dersigned were appointed a com Tiitteo to devise "waj-s and means of caring for any destitute immigrants who may como to our State from the South. We do not stop now to discuss the causes that havo led to this exodus of our people from the South. We simply say that .no reasonable man who mingles and converses with these people can doubt that in the South they arc defrauded, persecuted, proscribed, denied their political rights, and treated in general with tho most inhuman barbarity. They leave their homes to escape outrages to which no freeman should be subjected in a free country. They como to Indiana because they expect to find a nobler civilization, humano treatment, and protection in their right to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness. In this expectation they will not bo disappointed. Theso people aro our kindredbound to us by tho strongest tics that bind men together, hence wo feci it an imperative dutv to miko nrovism f A ion for tho temporary relief of any who may bo in need. We accordingly appeal to tho generous people of Indiana to aid us in this benevolent work bv contributions of money, clothing and other nectaries Contributions may be given to any of tho committee, or left with Jlcv.

He appointed a commit t e of three pro. in nt members of the society to look into the affair and make a report, te society being rendered quite indurut.t at the reception of their brethren. The committee detailed the shove named man to come to Mielbyville and make a thorough investigation as to the truth of the report, and also obtain ti e nme f the leaders and participators in the mb, a well as tho w ho witnessed the occurrence and bring In a report. He says that he finds the charges to have been very little exaggerated, if at all; and that one colored man who had Intended joining hU family at th s point wsi compelled to go on to Indianaolis, and walked from that place here. He further stated that he would report to the committee, and that it was probable that the matter would at once be taken before the United States Court at Indianapolis In such an event a number of promlrent E diiicians. aud even helbv county office ohkrs, will be placed in an awkw-rd position, and will have a chance of explaining matter if they can. It U needless to sav that itis ha-d to find anyone who w ill acknowledge that he was more than a "spectator,7 but the leaders are known. Verily, the end is not yet. Keep on Coartln.
