Jiass meetings are being held and in vanous other ways expression is being given to the voice ol the people, ine opinion now provails among au classes ot colored people tuat tne time has come when wo ehould receive a sort of recognition which has herotofore been denied us: The North contains many educated honest eolorcd men capable of discharging satisfactorily and efficiently the duties of any office. These men are all devoted, faithful Republicans, and yet, so far as we know; there is not in the whole North a colored postmaster, collector of Internal Revenue, U. S. Marshall; in fact, we do not believe a colored man can be tonnd lrom JLame to California holding a Government position that pays over 51,500 a year, and probably not a dozen that hold even 1,000 positions. In the distribution of State and County offices the neglect is even more marked. It may be truthfully said that there is not a State north of '.Mason and Dixon's line in which there is a colored man occupying a first class Govcrnment, State or County office, appointive or elective, save in the States of Indiana and Ohio, which have elected colored men to the Legislature, thus showing that the color of a man's skin makes no difference tn ho miw.N Wa hnlinrft that munv to the masses.

To such men a mere recital of the facts will suggest and secure from

Ire

them the desired recognition. In the

case of thoso so-called Republican officials, who are Republicans solely for the spoils of office and who treat tho claims of colored men with con tempt, we must appeal to General Garfield to relegate them to private life, and to appoint only men who will not make color a bar to official preferment. In the caso of State and County officials the remedy is in our own hands. The best interests of the Republiam party, the Nation and the Nero demand that honorable and substantial official " recognition . bo given to colored Republicans throughout the country. Tho introduction of colored men into the higher coun cils of tho party, official and otherwise, will bind the colored voters to the grand old party with hooks of steel. A colored man in General Garfield's Cabinet, colored men appointed to important Government,' Stato and County positions, North, outh. East and West, would do more to destroy prejudice of race, and to stimulate tho Negro race to acquire education and property, and to be come better citizens and live nobler i i ii . i i - lives anu mu uies our wuuie cuuntr than al1 other "nces combined. We have implrcit confidence in the wisdom of General Garfield and his friendship for our race. But in asking this recognition at the hands of General Garfield and the Republican party, we declare that wo are not askinir for SDecial nrivilienes. but , f what is our duo and isj S in accordance with a statesmanship which consults the best interests of the whole country. THE COLORED BROTHER. Indianapolis Sentinel.!. . The colored United States Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, whose time expires in a short time, demands, through his colored friends, a place in the new Cabinet. This, however, will not meet the wants of some of the colored brethren, and tl;ey are now demat. ding positions in every Department of the Government. 'The Advocate," an organ of the colored race, published in Washington City, after alluding to the proposition to place Mr. Uruce In the Cabinet, concludes as louows: We indorse those views, so far as they go: but our idea is, that the appointment of no one single indiridual to a prominent place is tne mil meas ure oi duty toward tne negro, uenerai recognition in all the departments of the Civil Service is what vf u-rt from a nlAPft in the Cabinet down to clerkships here In Washington, and in Post masters nipt,, uoi lectors nips ot uusioms ana in ternal Revenue, Inspectors of the Postal Department, Special Agents of the Treasury Department throughout tne country, etc. i ne vaiue or tne negro vote in such States as Indiana.

Turning from the Presi dential to the Congressional victory, the Im portance of the negro voter is more clearly seen. In at least nine of the Districts of the South from which Republicans were returned, In all save the one in East Tennessee and Kentucky, the negro one in eisi lennesseeana jveniucny, me negro voter gave the Republican candidates much more than the majorities, and in a majority of these cases lour-nttns ot tue votes cast Senator Bruce has made no such demand. Though it is a fact that his friends will urge upon the Presidenteiect tne advisability of utilizing the Senator's ability and experience as a Cabinet Minister. It is now gen erally conceded that General Gar field will recognize the Southern Republicans by placing one in the Cabinet "Wc trust, however, that the President-elect will see the fitneS3 0f placing a man in tho Cabinet who represents nine-tenths of the Re publicans of the South, rather than 0ne who represents one-tenth.

Hab llai-Anga. Assuredly Wraign is a very miuua quantity in zoology, foT,in the space of two short letters, he has called "Hack" a Hon, a lamb, and finally a donkey. .Verily, our cup of misery is now nearly filled, there being but one epithet left, whereby! we would b plunged deep down into tha abyss of tribulation and' ; affliction. 'That epithet is a "Wraign"! Our extensivo knowledge enables us to know what a lion, a lamb or a donkey is, but a " Wraign"-even Humboldt himself would be puzzled. - Would that Agassiz were living, we would, send him Wraign's last effort, and perhaps then he could tell what it is.' We fancy' that Barcum alone has his equal, namely the ''what is it." Wraign could not take the hint in our donkey and lionesi story. Forsooth, "thou wert not wont to be so , dull."' Judging from his last letter, we , would think Wraign considerably mussed up and perplexed. First, he says we "had nothing to say," yet quotes us several times. Secondly, he asserts that we said "that tho colored people of Ohio cannot conduct An association." We said nothing of the kind) and I can but attribute these perplexities' to the somewhat thorough "hacking" he has lately received. What we 6aid was, that ihero is no necessity for a separate colored teachers' association, and there is not. - It is all very well for Wraign to grow heroic in the defense of his chosen profession, yet this coldblooded fact remains, that ' official hopes, personal jealousies, iack of interest, and especially non-payment of dues, wilj kill any colored teachers' association" deader than an Egyptian mummy. As to a.discussian on this topic, we 'Hack"-cept, And 'Wraign" or shine, we will meet you Mthar," etc. The schools closed for Thanksgiving dr.y and the children and High School students greatly enjoyed themselves. ' Exercises, dinners, concerts and festivals were held at the different churches, .yielding, financial gain to the churches, pleasure to the congregations and bounteous thanks to the Almighty. At Allen Temple a grand concert was given, which we shall describe next week. At 3lound street a huge and splendid dinner was set and enjoyed by many of the young and oM. One of the features of the evening exercises at tbi church, was the marriage of Mis Fanny ? rice to Mr. J. W. 31cCollough. Ai'-er the ceremony, they held an elegant reception to which 'their host of friends were admitted per card. Rev. Cardoza delivered an excellent sermon at Union Chapel, other exerciser bein held. At Zion a dinner was spread and its . spacious vestibule was thronged. ' Master Fountain Lewis, jc, the popular Vine street barber, has a project in charge of giving a grand conoert during the Christmas holidays for the benefit of the orphans. Cards inviting many ot the be3t talent to take part have been sent out j and under such management success and a good time are bound to follow. Fountain is a hard worker and thoroughly conscientious and deserves commendation, Hon. Geo. W. Williams arrived in town last week and put up at the Gibson. He speaks warmly of the times he experienced in the Fast, and his descriptions of the canvass are particularly interesting. From the Commercial we learn he leaves in a few days for New Mexico on a business trip. The ''Literary and German" enjoyed themselves on Friday evening after Thanksgiving with a dance at the residence of the genial letter-carrier, John M. Lewis, Jsq. A good time, good eating and good music characterized the entertainment. Skating is all the rage now. All the col. ored belles are learning the art progressive, and quite a number are found at the park of evenings. One of the perils of newspaper correspondence is to have some irate, yet silly, Serson threaten to blow your brains out and o all manner of foolish things.

Eight schools were represented. Several important questions relative to Sundayschools were discussed. Elder voung. of Lockland, preached from the text: "Let strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger." The Brother said many good things and ad vanced some thoughts worth putting in ractice. He urged the importance of folowing the Scriptural injunction of "going into the byways in search of the lost sheep of the house of Israel." He believed that the Sunday-school and church should be an inseperable body, and that the success of the school depended in a great measure on the capacity of the teachers engaged in the work, lie drew a fine distinction between knowledge and wisdom; one being to "know a thing," and the other "how to use it." From M until 9:30 ho held the attention of a large and interested audience. Mr. Wm. H. Parham was next introduced, He began at once to discuss the question of How to get AdulU into the Sundayschool," The gentleman gave three, reasons why grown people are not found in the Sunday-school. First, the inopportune hour at which it is held; second, the bunday-school and church being considered separateorganizations; and third, the absence of intelligent teachers. The address was full of wise suggestions. and was characterized by ready, direct thought, fine language and brevity. e need pass no encomiums on Profeor Parham, as he is well-known throughout tnis Mate ana eisewaere as an able educator. An esaay was read by Miss Thurston on "The Advantages of the Sunday-schools" A committe of five was appointed to receive and forward by Christmas, to the "Home of the Aged." at New Orleans, a box of croods to be donated by the Sunday schools of the Union.

After singing the doxology, the Union" adjourned to meet in February next, at the First Baptist Church of Avondala, Our people are ipt tardy in their efforts to build up the churches through the Sunday-schools, but lack the disposition to cultivate the organ of continuity, which phrenologists assert is situated somewhere in the cranium of every individual.

from, others to criticise, and many to help swell the number, without any other special object. Skepticism stalks abroad through the landj and the eloquent Ingersoll proclaims his sentiments to thousands of eager, sympathetic hearers. Men are constantly looking about them for an easy way to get to Heaven, and are willing to adopt any series of ideas which will allow them to follow their inclinations in this world without burdening their minds about what is to come in tho next. Ingcrsoll's reputation of being a refined gentleman and scholar, of unassailable integrity, makes many converts to his doctrine. To see and hoar him, one is carried out of 6elf and lives for r the time being in his world of arguments. This gifted man, with such a pleasant address, carries one far above the imagination of ordinary individuals; his expressions, one after the other, are but one long continued strain of eloquence, his ideas flow freely and smoothly and poetically, dazzling the admiration until one almost forgets the proverb that "All is not -gold that glitters." rri j: 3 ji ,

iut) Buuieucu retires anu in vueir peverai homes think and many ask themselves the question, ''What good comes of this argument? Am I any better for having heard this man? Am I any wiser as to what my duty to self and mankind is?" and our lips make no reply, but our better self feign would join with Thurlow Weed in asking: ''Is it not painful to see men richly endowed perverting their gifts, misusing their talents in presumptions, revilings and ribild jestin gs aga'nst a Creator and a Savior from whom every earthly bounty and blessing emanates? No act of the Savior'e life and no word He ever uttered has been, or can be, construed or tortured into hostility to the welfare and happiness of every member of the human family." We have wondered what pleasure can bo attached to the thought that there is nothing beyond the grave. What individual would suddenly grow happier on being assured that he had but a week or a month to live? -It is in man's nature to cling to life, though his pathway is here and there beset with thorns, and it seems to us that it is conductive to happinees here, as well as wisdom, to settle into the belief that there is a never ending life beyond the'great eternity. Let us not spend our time in attempts at overthrowing a problem which we can not solve by endless argument that there is no life beyond tho grave, or that there is no future punishment If we do right in this life, we are sure of greater happiness here than if we pursue the wrong; and if there is an eternal punkhment for the wicked, we run no risk?, if we lead blameless lives. Old Winter has thrown over earth her beautiful white mantle. Pedestrians have no inclination to linger on the streets. We hurry to and fro, one moment listening to the jingle of the merry sleigh-bells, and the next attracted by the bright glow of the fire-light through the windows of some cheerful home. Piccola. Warmth ntllome.1 The English word comfortable, which so puzzles the French, and for which thev have no exact equivalent, is the" comprehensive tern-- that all housekeepers desire to fulfill in their home arrangements. Houses may be rich, fashionable; food may be abundant, and dress costly, and yet com fort may be wanting and in that everything is "wanted. In the early fall and earlv spniicr. in our variable Northern States, as well as in the winter time, the first requisite for comfort S IV. 1 Z 1 is wuruiui. ts iieru warm nouses, warm firesides, warm meals, warm plates, warm clothes, warm feet, warm beds and warm hearts to feel for others as well as ourselves. No amount of costliness in furni ture, food or dress will compensate for the absence of warmth. All who have ample means and health can shut out winter and conquer cold. The doors and windows of every dwelling should be made free from draughts; every room should be ventilated, but ventilation does not mean draughts. Twice, at least, every day the dcors and windows should be opened, so as to let a current of air through the rooms; and for this purpose, if people are at all delicate, they should leave their sitting room a few moments while the air is so refreshed. The fire is both a ventilator and a purifier. It is worth while to attain skill in making up and maintaining a good, clear fire. To do this the ashes under the grate must never be allowed to accumulate, they are not only unsightly, but they impede the air. A bright, polished, well-kept grate, fender, etc., by reflecting the light and heat and radiating it, economize fuel. There is no question that a small, clear fire, in a shining nre-place, throws out twice the heat that a large one does where all is dingy and dark, to say nothing of the satisfaction of a neat fireside, - It makes even the poorest room look cheerful. Then, having made the house warm, winter is the time for nice, warm dishes at dinner. . In summer, cold meats, with salads and other vegetables, are all very agreeable and healthful, but in the winter, there is neither comfort nor economy in cold dinners. Every particle of cold meat can be utilized, and children are very fond of nice mince and good gravy, served with mashed potato or boiled rice, and is easily digested and wholesome, These and similar made dishes, neailv cooked and served, may be the principal dish in a plain dinner. In cold weather tea and colTee are apt to be chilled, and then they are spoiled. Each of these beverages, and cocoa also, should be served hot. If people like them cool, they can delay the drinking. By pouring hot water into the cups and heating ..them, beverages are kept hot much longer. keeping the feet warm is not always easy In the winter. Many people suffer much with chilblains. A simple and effective remedy in the early stages is rubbing the feet till they glow with the bands dipped, in cold water. This process circulates the blood and hardens tho skin. The Death of a Great Man. New York Herald. The cable announces the deatli of Sir Alexander Cockburn. the Lord Chief Justice of England. With Cockburn passes away one of the conspicuous figures of English history. There are few living men who surpas? him in intellectual ioree. He was too great a partisan to belong to the rank to which tn genius entitled him as a Judge. Wherever his feelings or his prejudices were aroused, Cockburn was i fever more than a brillian partisan. He, showed this in Parliament, where ho never hesitated to follow the Ministry throuirh thick and thin. A partisan service during Palraerston's time, during the debate upon the notorious Don I'acifico case, is said to have raised Coekhurn to the bench. It was largely through the eloquence of Cockburn that Palmerston was enabled to consummate hat unrighteous deed. . - Coekhurn never showed so much rnaUoe, so much partisanship, as in the Alabama arbitration, when he sat in tho Court as the representative of England, lie never recovered from the ill fcme that followed his course in that arbitration, Americans have always regretted that one so gifted should have,alKWd passion to warp his genius.
