Washington, D. C. UTILITY 0 THE BALLOT.

In our issue of July ISth, under the ht-ad of citizenship, we suggested the utility of the ballot in its general methods. Its utilizing' influence is expressive of the local and national bet-terme of every community. Ic is like the gospel, the law and the grave, it works every voter equal. It is as powerful in the hands of the drunkard as in the preacher in the pulpit, and the President in the White ITouse. It is the weapon of power and defence, the instrumentality through which all political controversies are adjusted, and appeals from an unrighteous branch of judiciary decisions, to the poles are comprehensively and equitably settled.

It changes not the politicel status with those of the religious, civil and social, but still retains for the voter that indestructable force that regulates all the rest. A man can neither be pastor, president, nor governor, without the consent of the governed' In every State of the American Nation, his constitutional peroga-tives, are his indisputable personal property, and no man can legally prevent him from voting, nor go beyond a mere persuasive rebuke to compel him to vote. The practical utility of the ballot. Of all the materialized elements of constitutional manhood, the political status stands the power over and the protective defense of all It forces religious fanatics into profounder and closer relation for the brotherhood of man it refornio for better basis to the co-equality of citizens of the States and the Nation, and it guards the door of protection to social beauties and embellishment. It sustains a relation between the rich aud poor, that compells leaders to yield to the needs of their followers to demaud of the leaders a guaranteed protections of the laws.

like you want harmony Away with such pretentions and hypoc- ricy. Suppose one organization, as it is claimed, has more members than the other Must this stop a consolidation If this is what you mean aud the purpose for which fyou appointed jour committee, count me out. At the conclusion of Mrs. Ter-reFs speech, the applause was vociferous and enthusiastic all over the church. It was a masterh effort and demonstrated the honesty and integrity in a grand woman.

The election of Mrs. Terrell as president of the Consolidated Association recognizes one of the most brilliant women in thia country. The Bee congratulates her and the Association and admi the outcome of the convention, is Mrs. Terrell's triumph. The women of the League and Federation are to be congratulated.

accomplished in the schools of Washington by the colored pupils of both sexes; so great was it t.at he had wondered at it. Then he looked at the other side of the picture, and told of those living in the slums of the city, surrounded by disease, filth, and other influences that tended to degrade It is the plan of those who have been fortunate so far as the world's goods and education are concerned," he declared, to see to these people where-ever they are. Society is so inteiwo-ven in its relations that we cannot afford to have this blot upon the Capital's escutcheon." Commissioner Ross called the attention of the Federation to the Girl's Reform School, and asKing them to compare its method of curing evil with that of the jail and the workhouse. They were orthy of careful study. He concluded with sentiments of welcome.

Mrs. Matthews said she was glad the Commissioner so well understood the spirit and purposes of the Federation, and tin-t so many white people were present, as it was not well known that the colored people were doing so well for themselves. Mrs. Matthews referred to the convict lease system in the South, and made a fervent appeal for an expression of public sentiment against what was debasing thousands of the colored youth of that section. kuffin's MRS Mrs.

As illustrating the degree of effi" ciency to which the present management of the B. O. R. R.has brought its motive power, equipment and esprit de corps of the operating staff, we call attention to the fact that during the months of April, May and June the passenger trains and fast freight trains have almost invariably arrived at their respective destinations on schedule time. The very few exceptions to the general rule were due to causes inseparable from railway operation, and against which no forethought can wholly guard.
