Let every colored man who favors the elevation of his race subscribe for the Leader; and let every white, man who believes that slavery was a crme against humanity and that it is the duty of the ruling race to aid the Negro in his struggle for moral, social and intellectual elevation do likewise. Col. Rolwrt Harlan of Cincinnati is in Washington looking after his fences. The Colonel will doubtless le handsomely povided for as he richly deserves. The account of the marriage of Dr. Francis ami MUs Bcttic Cox of Washington D. C. should have apieared tast week but owm" to dclaved mails did not reach us in time. The dead lock in the Democratic legislature of New York still continues. If those Democratic solons will only resign and give the people a chance at them thev will furnish a kev to the situation. Hon. P. P. S. Pinchback Judge Beatty and other prominent Republicans from Louisiana are in Washington looking after the interests of their state. Gov. Pinchback will doubtless lc given the Collectorship of the Port of NewOrleans. A few more weary davs and we shall have the end of the foul assassin of President Garfield. He and his kind will find that the insanity dodge is played out, and that fiends who are inspired to commit murder will, assuredly be sent to the source of their inspiration. It is reported from Washington that Speaker Keifers make-up of the committees ot the House of Representatives, has thrown such a damper on the enthusiasm of many prominent members that legislation is lair'jring on account of the indifference of the dissatisfied memU-rs. A strong effort will le made to take from the Speaker the wrr of naming the committcs. In as much as the character of Congressional legislation is determined largely lv the constitution of the committees, we are inclined to think to much is vested in one man. The custom is unrcpublican. The committee' should be formed by the House as the Senate Committees are bv that bo.lv. The Committees would then necessarily le representative of the majority of the people. They may not be so when made by one man. The colored people of Arkansas have called a state conventiou f r the purjose of effecting an organization among themselves throughout the state in order that they may give their united strength to that party in the state that will guarantee to them the honorable treatment and consideration which they have heretofore been denied. This movement in Arkansas may result in great good if properly managed. It mav Ix? the forerunner of similar organizations in other states which may, in a measure, secure the recognition to which the colored ieoplc throughout the country are justly entitled. The necessity, however, for these organizations should Ik clcarlv set forth. It should lc understood by every oiio that the establishment of these separate organizations is a necessity rather than a preference on the part of the colored people, that their object is not to secure special privileges or undue representation but pimply and solely to prevent the unjust discrimination against colored men in the bestowal of office which now prevails. Whenever color ceases to lie a bar to advancement then will these organizations become unnecessary and undesirable. Bv organized cflbrt colored men can punish the men who seek official position at their hands only to violate every pledge and lietrav every trust. The knowledge that they will be punished by the men they deceive is the only argument that will influence a large clan of politicians to do the fair thing. Register Bruce has recently found it practicable to promote two young colored men iu his Bureau without violating either the civil service rules or the proprieties of his office. Mr. Warren Fearing of North Carolina, is promoted from a nine to a twelve hundred dollar place and the son of Bishop Turner of the A. M. E: Church, trom a seven hundred to a

thousand dollar place. Mr. Bruce believes in doing things decently and in order. He may 1 trusted to do every thing in his power for the real advancement of the race. He may also lie trusted not to do any foolish thing for mere effect to satisfy the senseless clamor of a few thick-headed impracticahles. Mr. Bruce does not believe that colored men, as a c'ftss are any U'tter than white men and he means that in his Department every man shall have an equal chance.

On entering the office ho promoted some white clerks who had won their promotions by efficient service and now he finds it in the line of his duty to reward two colored clerks who have likewise won their tars. Hence Mr. Bruces white .sul)rdinatcs do not feel that the accident of their complexion is a bar to their advancement. Sonic white men holding distinguished oflicial poMtions would do well to copy Register Bruce in this particular. . ... .a Wo l,i re r, ,t, t, Icnmv that Mr. um ... - I X .1 1 il il.. . .!-.. v. I I .

The legislature, however, at its last session, instead of adopting measures that would relieve the difficulties under which the laloring people suffered, made matters worse bv missing a stock law, prohibiting the running at large of horses, hogs, sheep and cattle. .tie. This, it seems, was the straw that b.oke the camel's back. Depriving them, as it did, ot the means ot securing the necessaries of life, it naturally forced them to take some steps for their own relief. Casting about, they found them, as it did, of the means ot secur- I that every thing was against them in their own State, that instead ot expecting redress ot their grievances at home, they expected to see them increase from year to year; and consequently, thev resolved to emigrate to "go West, and grow up with the country." One of their number was sent West to look at the country and select homes, preparatory to a large numlnT removing thereto.

Some of the most extensive planta tions in this section, on which large nura hers of Negroes were formerly employed are now without one colore I Ialorer, nnd the outlook is gloomy enough to cause wide spread dismay.

Another complaint is that the rent of land is so high and the prices of provisions is so exorbitant they cannot make a living. "For ten years," as they express it. "we have tried to make monev and have not lieen aide to do so. e are iMorer now than when we bean.

pcndel for their supplv of meat, and the little milk and butter they could get from their cows helped to keepthe wolf from the door. These supplies taken from them, they did not see how it was possible to get along and so they concluded to go "unto a land described to them an "flowing with milk and honey." The colored ieople of South Carolina have adopted the best possible method to break down the social and political thralldom which surrounds the race at the South. Those who go West will better their own condition and also help th()SC who remajn iu t'iejr 0ia homes. The alarm now existing anion": the Edgefield planters, is a fair indication of the effect which similar movements will have throughout the South. The rented v is in the hands of the oppressed people themselves, and they should not fail to applv it.

He therefore, besides the mere announcement of the I ! .1 . ... 1 . 1 foregoing statement, has little to sav upon the subject. It is doubtless true that, Governor Cameron says, mixed schools arc not desirable in Virginia, and very proba bly any attempt to establish such schools at present, would have no other - r resuit than the overthrow of tic comraon school laws, and consc qucntlv the retarding by manv vears of thc pubi,c educational work ; but yet, incite of all these facts, Governor 1 (:nmPron and a men ot even hum erntfl fnppajbt nnd wisdom must see that mXCi hools, mixed churches, and ;n faot mXed evervthiug is the only possible ultimate and final solution of the vexed race question in this country.

But it is also asserted that Judir Alvocate General Swaim has de cided that President Haves exceeded his constitutional authority in ordering the conveninsr of the court.

It will not require more than one case of this kind to render the brutal roughs at West Point as tractable as young lambs.

Had he done this promptlvtind with precision done this promp and care, ho wo to and would ha of honorable me 1 . -. - , . - ...11 mid liayc neon entitled have received the plaudits men the world over. Simultaneously with the reports alxiut the Whittaker case, comes the news that the conrt trving Lieut. Flipper are I . . ' ' , i. believed to have recommended his dis missal from the army, and also the news that General Grant has written a letter to the President recommending the reinstatement of Fitz-John Porter to his rank in the army, from which he was dismissed eighteen or uinetecn years ago for insuiiordination, by reason of which a great battle the second battle of Bull Bun was lost, thousands of brave men uselessly sacrificed, thc safety of Washington City and the existence of thc Union placed in peril. It will lie interesting to await the final results in the fortunes of these three men, FitzJohn Porter, Whittaker and Flipper, all of whom are or have been officers in the United States Arm v. Porter, as is well-known, has behind him a political party, probably more than half the press 6f the country, together with thc prestige and sympathy of the regular army and West Point influcucc. Whittaker and Flipper undoubtedly have the sympathy of a large portion of the people, but the army and West Point influence which are very powerful in social and political circles here in Washington, are against them; and if they succeed at all, it w ill be in the face of tremendous odds. Truth, however, is mighty and though temporarily crushed to earth, it must eventuully rise and reign triumphant. Therefore I have faith that justice will yet lie done in this matter. Fn.vxcis Cox. Per announcement in the Leader some time ago, thc marriage of Dr. J. R. Francis, and Miss Bettie Cox, was celebrated at thc 15th street Presbyterian church on thc 28th ultimo. Thc wedding and thc reception, which was giver by Hon. M. M. Holland, formeil the social event of thc season. Indeed thc memory of the oldest inhabitant is unable to recall a social event more brilliant or complete in all that goes ta make up a happy occasion. At an early hour the church was literally jammed with invited guests. The ladies, by nature thc flower of creations beauties, were doubly so by the lieautiful costumes they wore. They were, it is needless to say largely in the majority and the objects af the enraptured admiration of the men. At precisely 7 h o'clock the bridal party eutered the church preceeded by ushers. First came the bride leaning upon the arm of her uncle, Hon. M. M. Holland, followed by thc groom's best man, Dr. S. Lccount Cook and Miss Alice Johns, the bridesmaid. The pastor, Rev. F. J. Grimke, stood in front of thc altar and thc groom appeared from a convenient lecture room, Meanwhile the Elysium was made more complete by the sweet strains of a beautiful wedding march rendered by Mr. 7 T TS1 - A I 11"' r. i. rieei in ins inimitable style. With that dignity of manner becoming thc occasion, Mr. Holland gave the happy bride away, and took a position behind the bride and groom. The ceremony was performed according to the forms of the Presbyterian Church. The party then reformed and proceeded to

the carriages in waiting at the door, and were driven to the residence of Hon. M. M. Holland on University Hill. KRIDA L COSTUMES The bridal costume consisted of a beautiful ivory colored satin,-artistically draped with silk gauze garnished with orange blossoms, pointed basque princess skirt entraine, tulle veil. The bridesmaid, Miss Alice Johnson, wore a most delicate shade of blue surah, exquisitely trimmed with white

lace and garnished with natural flowers. Each carried an exquisite bouquet, the gift of W. H. Wormley esq. The groom and his best man Dr. Cook, were dressed in conventional black and sustained their. respective parts in admirable style. THE RECEFTIOX According to announcement the reception in honor of the happy couple was given bv the bride's uncle, Hon. M. M. Holland at his elegant residence on University Hill. At an early hour, it is needless to say, the Leader young man was in the midst of the gay company of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen who thromred the splendid parlors of Mr. and .Mrs. Holland. Among the gentlemen present were lion. Freder ick Douglass, Ex-Senator Bruce, Hon. John It. Lynch, W. II. Wormley Esq. , Win.

HtnloiiHMit ol'ti IMi w!c1mii An mutual article from the Kochester N. Y. licmncrat awl Chronicle, was republished in this pap.r and was a subject of much conversation, both in professional circles and on the street. Apparently it cansed even more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this pap. r, a few days since which was duly published. det:iilinr his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal enouiries which have leen made at our otlice as to the validity of the article, n,t 7 h so numerous that lurther : l "T 'u'1 "w""t y,VMl this en(1 n vJew a representative of interview occurred: "That article of vours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements acout the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such as vou can sustain "Everv one of them and manv additional ones. Few people ever get so near the grave as 1 did and then return, and I am not sur prised that thc public think it marvelous. At was marvelous.' How in the world did vou, a phvsician, come to be brought so low?" "Iy neglecting'the first and most simple symptoms. 1 did not think 1 was sick It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull indef'inite pains and niv stomache was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious. "But have these Common ailments anything to do with the fearful liright's disease which took so firm a hold on vou?" "Anvthing? Whv, thev are thc sure indi cations of the first stages of that dreadful maladv. The fact is, tew people know or re alize what ails tneni, and I am sorry to say 0f diseases for years, andit'is high time it appro: disease even more than a cough "this, then, is what you meant when you said that nure than one-half of the deaths which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it Doctor?'' "Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases are torturing people today, when it is really liright's disease in some one of its many forms. It is a Hydra-headed monster and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to everyone who ha them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which .hvsicians declare! at the time were cause! y "paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial tevcr and other common complaints which I see now were caused by r.right's disease." '"And did all these cases have symptoms at first?" "Every one of them, and might havc been curetl as I was by the timely use of the same remedv Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cur, t am getting my eyos thoroughly opened in this matter and 1 think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible langer also. Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and s?e Mr. Warnet himself, lie was sick the same time as I, and is the healthiest man in Rochester todav. He has made a study of this subject, and can give you more facts than 1 can. Go too and see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there arc any juantity of them showing the alarming increase of Hright's disease, its simple ant deceptive symptoms, and that there is but one way by which it can be escaped." Fuliy satisfiel of the truth ami force of the Do'ctor's wonls, the reporter bade him gool tlay and calleil on Mr. Warner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learning that the information ilcsired was alout the alarming increase of 1'right's disease, his manner changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly; "It is true that Uright's disease has increased wonderfully anil we finil bv reliable statistics, that in the past ten years its growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried ofT: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven, and others. This is terrible and shows a greater growth than that of any other known complaint. It must be plain to everv one that something must be done to check this increase or there is no knowing where it may end." . "Do you think many people are afflicted

A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical colletre was l. cturins before his class on the subject of I'.ri-ht's disease.

I Indieve his words would have proven true it I had not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warner's Sale Kidney and Liver Cure." "And this caused you to manufacture it?" "No, it caused me to investigate. I wtnt to the principal cities with Dr. Craithe di coverer, and saw the physicians pr.s-ribinjr and using it and saw that Dr. Oai was unable with his facilities, to supply the medicine to thousands who wanted it. I therefore determined, as a duty I owed humanity and the suffering, to bring it within their rt ich ai.d now it is known in every part of America, is sold in every drus store and has become a house hold necessity." The reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed with the earnestness ami sincerity of nis statements and next paid a visit to Dr. S. A. Lattimore at his residence on Prince Street. Dr. Lattimore, although busily engaged upon some matters connected with the btate Hoard ot Health, oi wiueli ne is one of the analysts, courteously answered the I questions that were propounded him: I "Did vou make a chemical analysis of the ease of Mr. II. II. Warner some three years ago, iioctor: xv&Vüa is analvsis ..how vou?' "The presence of albumen and tule cast-. in great abundance.' ArI what did the symptoms indicate?" "A prions disease of the. kidneys." "Did vou think Mr. Wanur could rv-cov-er?" "No sir, I did not think it possible. It was seldom indeed that so pronounced a case had. up to that time, ever been cured." "I)o you know anything about the remedy which cured him?" "Yes, I have chemically analyzed it and upon critical examination, find it entirely I free from any poisonous or deleterious tubstances." e publish the foregoing statements in view oi the commotion wmcn me puoucny ot Ur. Ilenion s article has cause! and to me;t the protestations which have lieen made, the standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Wärner and Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond questin anl tne staicmcms iney inaKc cannot for a moment le doubted. They conclusive! v show that Bricht's disease of the kidneys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, alarmingly increasing and that it can be cured. An Outspoken Woman. New York Letter. Mrs. Cynthia Leonard described the effects of pre-natal influence in her own case in very plain language. According to Mrs. Leonard's views, a musician, an artist, a bridge builder or a burglar can be produced neinc in opera the image of a French laly whose picture garding as a parlor ornament and what by the marital knot had become a household fixture. If women were permitted t po on in the present way, she didn't know but what it would be far better for them to be like horses, so that they could never see their ofT-pring after they were once removed from them.
