Geo. W. Williams which explains itself. All the facts in ' the matter go' to show that Mr. Williams' conduct was right and proper, and deserved the commendation rather than thaennriemnntinn of

his, constituents. The meeting was ment. If after all the rebel Demoentirely uncalledfor, and in its com- cracy arc to rule this country

position and character was' a libel on the intelligence of tho colored people of Cincinnati. The speeches were intemperate, childish and senseless In reading the proceedings of the meeting one is forcibly reminded of a lot of children trying to play men. It was entirely in the hands of Mr. .Williams' personal enemies, who for I downright stupidity and ignorance , ,..,,,1 n-..r Of course they did Mr. Williams no harm. They only advertised the fact that Mr. Williams attends to tho in terests of his constituents, irrespective .of color,, -promptly and effectively; ' Qd gave him an opportunity to show

that he has done more for the colored

race than the whole kit of them. A8 soldier on the field of battle, and citizen in the arena of politics Mr. Williams has proved his devotion to the interests of his race. The interests of the living are vastly more import ant than tho interests of the dead. The colored children are shut out from tho High 'School in Cincinnati, and yet these same fellows have boon known to yell themselves hoarse in a political campaigu for the very men who keep up ths outrage. The facts seem to show that the cemetery is a nuisance, and if so, inferments ought to bo prevented no matter to whom the cemetery belongs. Why do these .'men want to keep up thedistinction of s ;paruto cemeteries? Why do they not hold up the hands of their representative in his brave at tempt to abolish all distinctions on ac count of color? Instead of this one idiot in the meet in if denounced Mr. Williams because he travels like a gentle man and Stops at fil'St-claSS hotels' Out on such DEMOCRATIC KUKLUXISM IN CONGRESS. The proposed unseating of Mr. Washburn in the House, and Mr. Kellogg in the Senate, by the' Demo cratic majority in Congress, is a fair sample of some of the 'methods used by them in obtaining control of Silomhliean States in the South, and by which they expect to secure complete control of the National Government. T,ejr purp0se is so clearly disclosed in ti.R0 two ca9e3 tnat no intelligent ma car, bo mislead as to their in. W ti ki ir Mr. Washburn was elected to Con gress from one of the Minnesota dis tricts by over 3,000 majority, yet the unscrupulous Democratic majority avow their intention to deprive him of his seat. Their object in this is exceedingly clear. Though the Kepublicans have not a numerical ma jority in the House, yet they have a majority of State delegations, and. if tho election of president were thrown into that body, would chooso a Republican president. To defeat this IX and secure their own triumph at. all hazzards, is now the desperate determination of the kuklux Democracy. By turning out Mr. Washburn, they destroy the Republican majority by States, and thus make it possible for the iniquitous scheme to steal the presidency to succeed. . . , n A .unhraui1 iuugg, ui 7 1 " o ' i Iaw4a1a1 tVvm a v h mvrc st Irin! ma W 4a puiyuac iviuuiuu u, n.i x x--u tu. ti..o . o Mr. Washburn, namoly, to secure and ' puruetuaic uviiijjia,ii aowimcutv in the goveniment.

The matter was compro mised by both being sworn in with the distinct understanding that neith er one was to be disturbed during the term for which he was sworn in. This was well understood by the leading men in both partes, but now the Democrats in the Senate, seeing their majority growing small and beautifully less by degrees, are willing to avail themselves of. any unscrupulous means by which they may perpetuate their power. The inde pendent thinking voters, of whatever party, can see in these measures a sample ot tne means Dy whicn the kuklux obtained untimed control of Republican btates of tho South, and it is for them to decide whether the same kind of tactics shall succeed in controlling the National -.(jOVernthrough fair or foul , means, what good was there in suppressing , tho rebellion. 13ut they wRl pot succeed, The people are opposed: to them; and the coming election will show that they have underrated the true men . of . the Nofthi. , .Xhey wU( receive a backer! i JliatU will relegate them to their, rightful posi tion, that of conquered rebels, " I", f I Ii I THE WEST POINT INFAIIY.V The worst feature about the; outrage perpetrated on Cadet Whittaker at West Point is that the officers from General Scofield downl are, engaged I in the base attempt to , fir the. crime

on Cadet Whittaker himself. The vrhole thing is a concocted scheme to deter colored boys from going to Wc-st Point and when all of the facts come out, if they ever do come out, it will in our opinion he found that General Schofield and his suoordinate officers aro at the bottom of it. The so-cdled

Court of Inquiry is a sort of Inqnisition instituted bvSchntirld to shield himself and degrade "an innocent boy, whose only. crime is the color of his skin. Everything that can be called evidence that has thus far been introduced before this so-called Court has tended to the complete vindication of Cadet Whittaker from the base im putation. We arc glad to noto the indignant denunciation of this crime and the corrupt and inefficient management at West Point that has come up from all quarters. The press and the people, irrespective ot politics vie with each other in bitter denunciation of the outrage and scathing rebuke of the corrupt management that has tolerated, encouraged and covered up this inhuman barbarity. The Washington authorities, Presi dent, Cabinet and Congress have acted with a promptness that is deserving of the highest commedation. Senator Bruce has lead off in a movement to prevent any further appropriations io West Point until this outrage is avenged, and Senators and l?epreson tatives boldly assert that they will stand by him in this movement to punish the miscreants and reform the management or annihilate the cursed institution. The great American heart believes in giving every man an equal chance and fair play. OUB NOBLE EXODUSTERS. A Compliment. In conversation the other day with one of the most prominent citizens of Indianapolis, a gentleman not at all actively identified with politics, we learned some facte that certainly do great credit to our noble exodusters, and at the same time furnish incontrovertable evidence that they are just the sort of men Indiana needs. Thegentleman informed us that a prominent Indianapolis banker told him that during the last winter when our city was thronged with these unfortunate and destitute refugees, he loaned to a number of them various small suras of money, ranging from $5 to $25, taking as a pledge their simple promise to replace the money as soon as they could get some employment which would enable them to "scrape it together." The majority have already replaced the money. Some who are too far away have sent the money by mail in small sums, others have walked long distances from the country bringing $2 or $3 at a time. One who owed $7 sent a letter last week stating that ha had the money all ready, but that several members of his family were suddenly taken sick and he had to use a part of it, but that he would send it in "next week." The money has since come. These things, small in themselves, speak volumes in favor of the Negro race. They utterly refute the Democratic theory that these men have come to Indiana for merely political purposes. Men of such scrupulous integrity in business transactions, would not deliberately lie about the causes that impelled them to leave their .homes. GENERAL HUNTER'S.'. WITHDRAWAL A BOOH FOR ; STREIGHT. General Hunter, of Bloomington, announces 'to the, Republicans of Indiana his withdrawal from the gubernatorial nomination this week, on account of the precarious ' conditfon of hi health.': General H. . was a favorable ompetitor for the coveted prize, and his withdrawal is a matter of surpf iso and regret to his numer ous friends throughout the State. Iiis withdra wäl 'greatly " simplifies . the contest, and adds much to the strength of General Streight. In fact,' in the opinion . of a great many well inform cd ."politicians, it really makes the latter's nomination certain. The Outrage-j.-j.; Indianapolia Jonrnal.1 'The conduct of the WhittaLker investi g&tion has been from ths beginning an outrage and travesty upon justice. - There seems to be a conspiracy to shield the guilty parties and ruin the "nigger." The West Point authoritiea had better have a care how they trifle with this matter, for the patience of the people has been tested to the utmost limit in this affair, and it would require very little to raise aponu j lar clamor against the institution.

The riot was a fight among men, you know. GRAVE SUBJECT. Card from Representative Geo. W. Williams. Columbus, O., April 13, 1880. To the Editor of the Commercial: I desire to make several explanation and contradictions in reference to the meeting at Allen Temple last evening: t iTBt 1 hat I had no personal interest in introducing the bill. Second It was not introduced in the interest of the Union Baptist Cemetery. Third It does not abolish the cemetery, as some of the speakers and newspapers intimate, but requires it to be closed it it is a nuisance. Fourth The statement that I e7er lived or even stopped in Richmond, Baltimore or Vicksburg, is false. 1 never was in Richmond in my life. I tried to go there as a Union soldier iu 1864, but was wound ed about five miles from that city and never got there. ' I was never in Vicksburg at any time, and have only passed through Dam more, stopping over uigm, me longest time I ever spent in that city; and I would say that I have borne a good character wherever 1 nave lived, which no living man can deny.Fifth The reason tue bill was introduced and put through in haste is explained in the Columbus news in thi njorning'e Commercial, that the approaching warm weather admonished them that further interments should be stopped. Now, Mr. Editor, if the Board of Health of Avondale, and the memorialists are not to be relied upon; if they are deliberately misrepresenting the condition of the cemetery in Avondale, then I can not trust any gentleman in Cincinnati, and must regard every petition aent me as a lie and a trap in which to catch me. . Sixth Mr. Graves is quite eloquent on graves, and for diversion, refers to private matters-; I simply said I was it the Gibson House because it was central, and representing all,, ihe people of tie county in part, I wanted to ba where I could be seen, and asked him to call. His statement is a deliberate li. , : Seventh As to my fidelity to my race no man can doubt. I have labored long and faithful in their interest. I fought for them in the late war ttnd have traveled further, worked harder and made more speeches 'for them and the Republican . , 1 1 , J A 1 - TT . , party man any coioreu man in uie uniieu States of my ago. , ' The meeting was largely in the hands of my political enemies, and it did them especial good to pronounce their eulogies over, as they think, my political remains. I regret that any person feels hurt at my conduct. I certainly did not mean to injure any one; and now i( the colored people desire to turn their back upon me, let them do as seemeth best to themselves. I am conscious that I did what was right in my judgment at thetime upon the represen- . r ' r i.u xi . : m. lauons maut) to me. i was vuiu iutvi u would be beneficial to the colored people to sell, the cemetery, and this was the main reason 1 nnred the matter. .Peter Clark xays a gentleman said, "We

New York San The readiness with which Deonl i to the conclusion that the injuries suatainea oy nutaker, the colored cadet at West Point, were inflicted by himself, seemed "lo indicate the retention, in n great degree, of the strong prejudice form erly existing among the whites generally against the colored race. But it must be admitted that whothor that conclusion was right or wrong, there were very suspicious circumstances leading to its establishment bince the infliction of the ini nrlpH nnnn this colored cadet, another event has happened which shows a disposition in the community to justice as quickly and as amply to the blacks as to the whites.
