A few thousand colored votes in Ilms we see the struggio lor equalMaine would have very materially ity has shifted from the political to affected the result in that State, even the business world. We have been , . ii j

if it is in the North. If Democrats are hard money men, why should they rejoice so much over the Greenback gain in Maine? Does Mr. English join in the general rejoicing? Read Lieutenant Flipper's interesting letter. Lieutenant Flipper gives the point of action to his words. by renewing his subscription three months before his time is up. If the Negro vote in the north is not sufficient to materially affect the result, why should Democrats bo trying to induce colored voters to leave Indiana? And why should Republican papers object to it? An after thought : Oh, why have "us" Democrats on Plaisted All of our campaign bellowing wasted? He U not by any means one of us, And would not, for love or money, be among us. Let us then reserve cur yelping Till we alone have done the pelting, And when our candidate's not elected, Well not afterwards be so fearfully dejected. MAINE. Maine so As goes goes the Union," has been a political war cry and indicator for a number of years; and that State has borne a' very good reputation as a political weather cock, for as Maine went, so has gone the Union for twenty years past. She once went "hell bent for Governor Kent" witb very disatrous results to somebody and. some party. But that being before the youthful writer of this article madohis debut on

American soil, we will let bygones be bygones, and say nothing about it. But to the point. Maine voted last Monday, and on '.Tuesday the Democratic organ-grinders throughout the country ran up a very poor picture of a familiar barnyard fowl, and also exhausted their supply of large type

and "smart Alec" ability in getting up appropriate head lines in which to announce this "famous victory to the unwashed and untcrrified Democracy. But as all things earthly must have an end, so, in duo time, there came a chilling, sickening, ghastly pause to the Domocratic re joicing over the Maine victory. For a few day J all went merry as a marriage bell with the Demo-Nationals, but on Wednesday and Thursday the unwelcome fact began to dawn upon the minds of the new ly-married couple that, liko matrimonial fortune seekers, they had both bcon accoived, one by the other, and UK" , j , that there was no victory between them to rejoice about. Like the Irishman's flea, when they grasped at it, "be Jasus," it was gone. At this writing, (Friday), thero seems to be a reasonable assuranco that the Fiuo 'lreo Mate will stand icuuj uegau w counted out, a sure sign that they re gard themselves beaten. Hut whatever the final result may be, the State is very close, and whichever party carries it in November, will have to do herculean labor. Maine, however, id Republican at heart, and with the well known ability of Mr. Hlaino and his assistant, we teel sure that Gencial Garfield will come out of tho State victorious. THE NEW STRUGGLE FOR EQUAJjTho fact that tho colored people of this country have made remarkable strides in the direction of political and civil equality within the last twenty years, is undeniable. But the additional and correlative fact that much remaius to be done before tho measure of equality is complete, is equally undeniable. It is a singular fact that all over tho country colored men are nominated, and sometimes elected, to some of the most important civil stations, from Governor, Judge and Congressman to tho bottom of tho scale; and yet, if a colored man who has held one of thoso important offices, should apply for a situation as salesman in a store, agent, clerk, superintendent, or conductor for a corporation, a placo in a hotel above steward, a position as bookkeeper in a manufacturing establishment, or almost anything not of a menial sort, he is met with the response, "We do not employ colored men." A whito boy may go into a hotel office as bell-boy, and work himself up to the responsible position of clerk, partner, or proprietor; but not so with tho colored boy. In everv respect ho may be as dilligent, attentive, and capable as the whito boy, but when he reaches the station of head-waiter, he is at the top of the ladder. If ho would g0 higher, he must go elsewhere. So it is in almost every other branch 0f labor. A colored man can go so far. but no farther. M . ft 1 f tnumpnani in ine iormer, anu we must not fail in the latter. Revolutjona rarely ever go backward; and what we have gained in the political field is secure. Bulldozing and tissue balloting may triumph for a season, but its ascendancy can not be permanent. What, then, remains to be done? We must rightabout face, and turn our batteries upon the bulwarks of prejudico and social caste, which ostracize us from the higher grades of business service. We must not give up in despair before the battle is fairlv beirun, and set up a m0urnful whine about emigrating to Africa or any where else. The problem involving the destiny of the American Negro, is to be solved right here on American soil, and not thousands of miles away in Africa, where he is an alien and stranger. Ho who would run away to Africa HOW, when tho battle for liberty and equality is more than half won, is indeed a despicable coward. How are we to overcome this social prejudice which excludes us from business advancement? is the problem which we must solve. We must not wait for other people to do it for us, but we must go to work ourselves and find the solution. What can wo do? We must educate ourselves, and accumulate property, These are the levers that move the social and business world. The poor Jewish peddler is driven out of doors and has the dogs set on him; but when this same Jew becomes rich, and goes to banking, he is raised to

the peerage, sent to Parlimentor Congress. If ho is learned and becomes an author, he is mado Prime Minister, or placed on the judicial bench. These lessons must not be lost upon us. Look at the examplo of Dumas, of France. A Negro with wooly hair, by diligence and perseverance he rose to the first rank in the literary world. We must prepare ourselves and push ahead, and the higher walks in social and business life must necessarily open their portals to

us Wealth, culture and perseverance 1 are what we need. THE COLORED BACE. A Sensible Letter From ble Man. Sensi Addressing III 1 rople Course. ng to Their Evausville Journal. Hie courier by its intemperato zeal and unwarranted persecution of a much abused race is steadily inflaming, with its predjuiced and proscriptive articles, the -reckless hotheads of its party; who are encouraged to set at defiance all law and order and begin a reign of violence that would do much damage to our city. The law-abiding citizens will censure more severely tho instigators than tho doors of aoy such deeds. The negro is here. Ana a lew aays ego were the jewels of the Democratic party. When we wanted to go, your hunters of men speedily brought us back. lou brought us nere. We cleared your forests; reclaimed your rnorrasses; kept m elegant and luxurious idleness one half ot the countv. We bring in cotton, $150.000, 000 yearly to the wealth of the nation. e assisted Jackson in fighting your battles ard we havobecn no pensioners on your. bounty ? And we owe the uemoerauc party nothing except our ignorance and low condition, and for this that partv is responsible. The Courier's party has no other tie of affiliation except hospitality to the negro. If he were eliminated from politics (whicy they would do if successful) the party would dissolve into thin air to-morrow. The Courier claims and so does Sigcl, that the negro has escaped one species of slavery to become a slave to a party. Cut f that were so, what is called our pre-ent lavery is heaven to that we once endured under the Democracy. Tho colored man vas once a Democrat, and though it took several of us to make one man, the Democracy used to count as worthy of being represented in Congress. We admit that the party has bought us. In dollars and cents the war cost $0,189,929,008, and reckoning 4,000,000 slaves, men, women and children, each one cost the Republican party $1,547.48. It is our duty to pay the debt. Though the Courier has nöt always been of this opinion, it lately has iterated and reiterated that it wants the vote of not a single Negro. And four years ago the Courier's party used to pay Negro men to walk in their processions. Can it be that the Democrats are piqued that the poor Negro withstands their tears of entreaty and the temptation of their money? It is most unnatural for the colored man now to vote anything else but the Republican ticket. I am one to believe that as good men on the average are found among Democrats as in other parties, though the good men of the party hide their lights under a bushel it is the principles of tho party that are inimical to every interest of tho colored man. The colored men remember that the Democratic party owned them as slaves, and they think tho party believes that the principles that Lee and Jackson fought for arc still betöre the country, and they wore to extend and perpetuate slavery. This party resisted his enfranchisement, and refused to aid in clothing the colored man with civil and political rights, and if in power would put the colored man in a condition of vassalage next door to slavery. Now, the Courier who docs not want the solored vote. Denni3 Keirny like, advises Lis familiars should try what virtue thero is a ''club," because the colored man won't vote tho Dcmoaratic ticket. The 'clubbing" days are gone by. I agree with the Courier that those Kentucky fellows, white and black, should not vote except they be tone here. And the Courier knows that its silly raving about colored men being colonized here is a crv of "stoptniet to divert attention from its"own doings. We remember that one of their imported voters white toois serving a term in Jeflersonville for illegal voting. With all the hue and cry no col ored man has been convicted and we all know that the Democrats have tried" to detect one. The colored men who will attempt to vote in October and November will bo bona fide resident citizens and despite the proposed using of clubs" and other threatened violence, they will cast their ballot for the party of right and jus tice. I would say to the colored men, though it is rumored that all colored voters will be driven (with a club?) from the polls per instructions of the Courier, let us be not afraid. Let us be particularly careful that no overt or aggressive act on our part shall bring on the conflict the Courier is endeavoring to incite. Let us bring to justice any man of our race who attempts to molest or interfere with their processions. And if we are imposed upon let us seek redress from the law's hand. And if we stay on the side of law and order, and if they, in spite of this, will persist in putting into action" the implied instructions of the Courier, let the deeds that' follow be upon their own heads. Cut don't be afraid to vote all the same. Edwin F. Horx. Arizona's Largeat Nugget From tbe Phenix Herald. J Yesterday afternoon George A. Tread well, the mining expert, showed us a gold nugget the largest so far found in Arizona weiehine 12i ounces, and valued at $220. It was taken from some new diggings on the westside of Antelope Teak, near Yaqui Wil son 's place, fifteen miles north of Wickenberg, The fortunate miner is Pedro Losaro, a Mexi can, who h&j two brothers working with him. They have lately found several nice pieces about the size of a pigeon's egg. The gold is very fine, all being worth $18 per ounce. Antelope Peak has been known to the oldest inhabitant as the location of valua ble placers, and thousands upon thousands of dollars have been taken from mother earth at that point, but they have never been worked to any great extent, owing to the scarcity of water, borne years ago, af ter a heavy rain, gold to the value of tens of thousands of dollars was secured by the ; ii i i a . i t i 1 1 miners on me top oi Anieiope reaK, witn no other tools than common butcher-knivea to dig the ground. The placers heretofore known have been on tve east side if the peak; these new diggings are located on the west side of the peak, and are about a mile in length and one half mile in width. They have been working this find but a short time, and obtained this monster nugget by dry washing. A young lady wrote some verses for a paper about her birthday, and headed them May 80th."

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 14, 1880. The Ohio A. M. E. Conference, which began its session here last Wednesday, adjourned this afternoon and tho ministers have all gone on the afternoon and evening trains. The Conference numbered about ninety and was a representative body of men. Bishop James A. Shorter presided and the body transacted business in an expeditious, intelligent way, that proved that the ministerial gentlemen were fully alive to the highest interests of race and church. "An extended account of the proceedings can not be given in a letter like this. Enough to say that all reports indicated a brotherly state of the churches under the jurisdiction of the body, and commendable progress and growth. Quite a number of young ministers, of great promise, were admitted to the Conference. Under Bishop Shorter's firm, yet kind authority, the greatest harmony prevailed. No very important legislation was enacted, excepting the division of the State of Ohio into districts for the better control of campmeetings. Following are some of the appointments: Cincinnati, Rev.
