CALTIN CHASE, EDITOR. MR. jjOUGLASS' POSITION. In justice to the Hod. Frederick Douglass, to correct an erron eons impression has gone forth, we think a true statement should be made of his position in relation to the action of the Commissioners iu selecting the building on 4 as a location for an industrial school for col- ored children.

At the indigna tiun meeting held at Israel C. M. E. Church, Mr. Douglass 6aid, "There was a very strong feeling that thecommisiioners, in proposing to establish school at the corner of 4J street, have acted iu obedience to a lentiment and feeling of prejudice against the colored race.

He protested against any prejudice against race or color operating, and had no" apology to offer in defence of their action. The government had inscribed over the gateway of its constitution that there should be no discrimination between the citizens of the. United States on the ground of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, and the commissioners were bound to act in harmony with the constitution. The denunciation of their action, as Bhowa by the meeting, showed the colored people were cultivating manly lentiments. So far he waa in full iympathy with the object to be attained.

On the otner hand, it was possible for a man to walk on the same street with an infamous character, and yet be as far apart as the poles. Jesus himself wsb often found in disreputable places, and among sinners. He believed the sentiments expressed should not hurt the hones'and sincere efforts to benefit -fellow citizens, now being made in that locality." In addition to the above, it is but just to state that the building at the corner of has been purchased, and is the property of the "Minor School that it was, and is the intention of the trustees of that fund, to open an industrial school in their building, and to do all in thair power to elevate and instruct the ehildren, not only of that immediate ricini-ty, but throughout the city; and while Mr. Douglass condemned the action of tbe commissioners in trying to force this particular building upon the people, againBt their earnest protest, he waB particularly anxious that nothing should be said or done at the meeting that would counteract or injure the missionary work contemplated by the trustees of the Miner School Fund, in thai locality. THE CITIZENS PROTEST, A greater insult has never been offered to the colored people than the selection of Mary Hall's house of prostitution for the colored children for school purposes.

We are' not inclined to believe that Col. Webb is a party to this diabolical act of tb trustee board. Mr. Ross Fish who set up a slim-sy pretext that the Miller build-iug was too damp or that the rent was too high has been sufficiently answered by Mr. Augeu-stein.

We haye never listen to better speeches than those msde by Es-trusee John H. Brooks and Rev, W. H. Brooks at the meetiug on last Monday night. There was no uncertain 60und to what they said; they were not the attorneys nor were they trustees of the minor fund, but citizens who came to the meeting to denounce this infamous outrage on our colored citizens.

We are confident that Col. Webb will not insist on having a colored industrial school at a place against the will of the people. We know that he has too much respect for them. The colored people have come to this conclusion and he might as well understand it now, that they want equal school facilities; school houses as good and in respicta-ble vacinities, that the board of school trustees must not attempt carry out the prejudices "bf a mean 'set of white people and so far as Mr. Robs Fish is'concerned, we don't believe that any man ihould be a member of the school board who is employed under he Ditrict Commissioners.

We believe that it would be more to the credit of the Commissioners to I remove Mr. Msh from the school board. A FAIR THING IS A PKETTY THING. It seems that the authorities at the Providence Hospital, profession! and scholarly though they be, are still troubled with a disease which they seem unable to cure colorphobia. Through the courtesy of Dr.

Reyburn, who is one of the Surgeons in charge of the hospital, extended to the members of the medical college ot Howard University an invitatition to visit the clinics at Providence Hospital. Of course there has been a large attendance on the part of the members of the Howard fltudeuts, the result of which was a vigorous "kick" on the part of the Provideuce Hospital authorities, the same having been stimulated bv, it is said, the National and Georgetown schools. Dr. Reyburn, fought nobly and is still fighting to pernit colored visitors (for the matter is evident ly one of color) to attend tbe climes, but as yet without success. lie is noperui ana win communicate the result ot his fight at an early day.

We depiore this manifestation ot prejudice from such sources, and can not but con- I traBt the spirit of Howard Uni versity, which is essentially colored but which admits within its scope all races without distinction, with the mean and spiteful spirit which is prompting the opposi tion ot the rrovidence Hospital, The hospitals above mentioned I are supported by Congress, and it would not be amiss it the fact of these distinctions was vented. We applaud ti action of Dr. Purvis iu his disposition to ignore the matter, and to act in the manly I spirit which has hitherto charac terized his administration of the affairs at the hospital. He can afford to be maguanimous, even though his brothers in white cannot find it in their hearts to be so. It is the general impreesiou that C.

H. J. Taylor, was asked to resign. If he wereuor, it is a God send that Liberia and the United I States aie relieved of this gas bag. On our first page is a paper from ex-trustee Jas.

H. Smith on Industrial Education, which should be read by everybody. Mr. Smith has given his individual attention to this subject and is competent to enlighten those who are ignorant of the subject. No man is more qualified to deal with this Bubject than ur ex-trustee.

The notorious lie that C. H. J. Taylar told in this office about ex-minister J. H.

Smythe, on investigation turns out to be au-other one of the false statemeutB which he has made about reputa ble people in this city. Mr. Taylor will find out that he has entered a bees hive before he leaves this city. Fred. Douglass is trying to have the 800,000 colored votes cast solidly for the republioau party.

Mr. Douglass, you will have to close all the school houses and institutions of learning, and keep them in ignorance, as they were twenty years ago, iu order to succeed. The colored people now have intelligence enough to vote their own sentiments and for their best interests. Little Rock Sun. Yes Brother Bailey, and just enough to make fools of them-Belves.

OUR WEEKLY REVIEW. WILL THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE REMOVE PROF. LANGSTON THE VIRGINIA NEGROES INDIGNANT. MARY HALL'S HOUSE OF ASSIGNATION. MR.

DOUGLASS, We understand that the democratic Virginia legislature will attempt to, remove Prof. Prof. John M. Langston, from the presidency of the Petersburg ormal and Collegiate Institute. If any attempt on the part of the democratic legislature, is made in that direction, it will show bad faith, and the declarations that they have made in that direction will turn out as was' predicted by the republicans prior to and during the campaign.

Prof. Langston has- made the institution more than what it has ever been. Editor Mitchell, of the Planet, was in the city -Tuesday, and in conversation with him he said, that the colored voters of the state, democrats and republicans, will protest against the removal of Mr. Langston. Editor Mitchell no doubt speaks the sentiment of the colored voters of the state, and we are of the opin ion that the democratic legislature cannot afford to remove an educated colored gentleman and ap point an ignorant white democrat at the head of the school.

Governor Lee, should any bill passed by the legislature looking to the removal of Langston. The defeat of Mr. WM. MAHONE in the state of Virgin fa, has no doubt convinced him that he cannot afford to throw such men- as Gen'i Brady, Cameron and others overboard. He must also understand that bossism in this country is about at an end.

Mahone's autocratic ruling has caused the state to be lost to the republicans three times. It is about time now to retire Mr. Mahone from the republican parly in the state, unless he feels like falling in as a high private in the ranks of republican leaders. We understand that Mahone is endeavoring to establish a white man's party in the state. It looks that way.

Mahone looks more after his individual interest than he does after the iuterest.of the state. He ia ambitious aud he doesn't fail to telegraph his success throughout the North as Mahone's victoiy. Such men are detrimental to any party. Mahone is opposed to Prof. Langston because Prof.

Langston will not allow him to dictate to him. Prof. Langston is not a man of that kind. He cares no more for a white man than a white man cares for' him: he is a man who demands respect, and if the colored people waut a representative in congress, let them send John Mercer Langston. Mr.

Brooks gave them all to undei stand that the colored people did not intend to tolerate or any such treatment by the Commission ers, nor the -board of school trustees. AMASS MEETING OB" COLORED CITIZENS. THEY PROTEST AGAINST COLOR PREJUDICE. PARENTS REQUE8TED NOT TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO'MARY HALL'S. MR.

DOUGLASS. A meeting of colored citizens was held last Monday evening at Israel M. E. Church, 1st and sts. southwest, to protest against the using of the house at the northwest corner of Mary! aud ayenue and 4 known as Mary HalPs for a colored industrial school.

The attendance, which numbered about 200, iucluded representative colored men from every section of the city. Mr. E. S. Atkinson was called upon to preside aud J.

D. Balti-mnre was elected secretary. Rev. R. S.

Williams opened the proceedings with prayer. The chairman referring to the small attendance, explained it by saying that in several churches the people were so engaged that they could not come. They however, would not falter, for their cause they believed was just. They were satisfied that the colored people of the District were opposed to the reutiugofthe house in question. The white schools, he said, have good surroundings, but they waut to put a colored school iu an undesireable neighborhood to aid missionary work.

If it desired to elavate the 'neighborhood, it should be done by missionary work aud not by the school money. The colored people do not want their children exposed to such immoral influences as are to be fouud about Maryland aveuue and street. Rev. R. H.

Williams, jSoble Snowden, Rev. W. H. Draper, Alfred Stevens, J. C.

Hart, Frederick Douglass and J. H. Brooks were appointed a committee on resolutions. WHY THEY OBJECT. During the absence of the committee Rev.

Mr. Scott made an address, saying that no man with respect for himself was willing to send his child to a building with such a history. Rev. R. S.

Laws said it was the duty of the colored trustees in the school board to protect the interest of their race, and if they did not they should be held responsible. The white people, he said, would not send their children to such a place as proposed. "Let. colored citizens," he said, "demand a proper place, and let the Commission ers know that we will not let our children live in white people's filth." They should, he said, let the Commissioners know that the colored citizens of South Washington will not allow their children to go to such a place. W.

Calvin Chase said that the facts were that the colored trustees opposed the report, and he believed that there had been misrepresentation in the matter. Mr. Au-genstein the owner of the Miller building, stated that the white people objected to colored children going there, and Mr. Fish said it too damp. The colored trustees, he said, did all they could to secure the Miller building.

MKS. STROUD OBJECTS TO A NAME. Mr. Atkinson remarked that the Mary Hall building, in which they propose to place the school, now has a free dispensary in it. Mrs.

Stroud, -one of the Minor fand trustees, who was present, here said: "It is the building owned by trustees of the Minor fund and was no Mary Hall building." "Are you aware, madam, of the surroundings asked Mr. Chase. Mrs. Stroud, "for recently I was called to sign an application for a license, and the party said she knew that I would not sign, but she was compelled to comply with the law, and she informed me that there was seven other such applications to They proposed to do the work, she said, to save the children, and there were hundreds of such in that neighborhood who should be rescued. Mr.

Chase said their principal objection was the eft'oit of the trustees to place the colored people wherever they pleased. He admitted the building was excellently adapted to missionary work, for it is bounded on the east by courtezans and on the north by Louse alley, and is the lowest spot in the city. THE RESOLUTIONS. The committee reported the resolutions as follows: Whereas, the Common Schools of this District are established and authorized bjr law, and supported from approriatious made by Congress for the equal benefit of all the youth of the Country, resident iu this District, and, Whereas, by authority of law nine (9) Trustees of Public Schools are appointed, who constitute the common school for the District of Columbia representing all classes of our citizens and, Whereas, the chief executive power ma duty of administration of the local Government are vested in a Board ot three Commissioners now therefore Be It Resolved by the colored citizens of the U. States, resident in the D.

In Mass Meeting assembled: that as the U. S. Cougress has established Common Schools for the equal benefit of the youth of this District, we respectfully demand a faithful and impartial administration of said laws, by the executive aud administrative part of the Government in letter and spirit free from the unholy prejudice on account of race and color, which has in the naat disgraced our country. Resolved, That we earnestly request the Commissioners not to adopt a policy of treating the colored Public Schools as Missionary Schools, and different from other puonc scnools in this District. Resolved, That while we favor all missionary lobor, looking to the improvement of bad localities iu the city and reclaiming the vicious characters among us, to the walks of virtue and respectability.

Resolved, That the public schools are institutions of the State authorized by law and maintained by appropriations for their common support for the equal benefit of all. Resolved, That the refusal of the Public School Trustees to rent a building for school purposes because a few people residing in the locality made to its use for colored children is deeply regretted and heartediy condemned. Resolved, That the recommendation of a majority of the School Trustees that the house Cor. of 4J street and Maryland avenue be rented for school purposes and for tiie accommodation of colored children is most earnestly disapproved; the refusal of a majority of the Board to rent a building conveniently located in a respectable neighborhood, and recommending the renting of another, inconveniently located in a most disreputable part of the city, against the solemn protest of the respectable colored people was an unkind act, regardless of right and justice and in total defiance of the wishes of the Colored citizens of this District. Resolve, That the classification of all tne colored people, without regard of their social station, edu cation and intelligence and means of support, as proper subjects for missionary effort among the fallen and victims of vice, is an insult deliberately offered, and we hurl the imputation back upon those who, in the name of doing good among the low victims of a vicious life, seek to class all of the colored people as among such people and are endeavoring to induce the Com-siouers to divert the school funds to the support of private mission stations to suit their narrow and prejudiced views of the colored people.

Resolved, That we recommend to the Honorable Commissioners that the people who are now endeavoring to induce them to divert the public school funds to the support of private missionary work, and to make distinctions in the administration of the affairs of the public schools between the white and colored children, be informed that the funds of the public schools cannot be diverted to support private missionary work however meritorious and that no distinction in the administering of school affairs will be permitted by them in the discharge of their lawful duties as Commisioners. Resolved, That we respectfully request that the school house known as the "Miller School House" be rented for school purposes. Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed to present a copy of these preambles and reso lutions to the Honorable Commissions of the District. MR. CHASE'S AMENDMENT.

Resolved, That, if the Commissioners coutinue the lease of the Mary Hall buildiug for the indus trial school for colored children,) the colored people of the District of Columbia are requested not to send their children theie. Mrs. Stroud moved to strike out "Mary Hall building." Mr. Jesse Lawson having remarked that he thought it proper to protest against the selection of the Mary Hall building, Mrs. Stroud again insisted.

"You must call it the Minor Fund building. Mr. Lawson said that although it had been decided that boycotting was offense, he did not think they would be prosecuted if tuey boycotted the Mary Hall ho' se. Mr. J.W.

Freeman said he believed that 50,000 of the 60,000 colored people were opposed to the proposed of this building. The very ground he said was cursed. Mr. Chase; Mr. Dougluss the question is not that we oppose the missionary work that is going on, but we protest against tbe color line aud discrimination against us.

Mr. Douglass neither do I favor the establishment of a school there. Mr. Chase then what do you favor, Mr. Douglass At this jnnction, Rev.

Walter Brooks claimed the floor but the chair recognized Mr. after-which Rev. Walter Brooks made a most eloquent speech in opposi tion to tbe Mary Hall building. He said that the good books says, "evil communications corrupt good morals" and while he was matured enough to go where he pleases, he did not think that children were. Speeches were also made by Revs.

W. J. Howard and W. H. Draper.

Both protested against the establishment of the school in Mary HalPs house. Mr, Chase called for the previous question which was the report of the committee and the amendment offered by him. Mr. Douglass said that he did not know that Mr. Chase's amendment was to be adopted with the report.

The chair said it was. Mr. Douglass Mr. Chairman I then withdraw my name from the report. Mr.

Chase, said, while it is well known thatMr.Donglass is one of the trustees of the Minor fund and withdraws his name becpuse an amendment quests the amounts to is adopted which re-people what to do, but little, when there are from 60 to 70 thousand colored people who will endorse the action of this meeting and approve of the amendment, Mr. Douglass to the contrary notwithstanding. (Applause.) Ex School Trustee John H. Brooks said that it was nothing but prejudice that caused the giving up of the Miller' building, and it was a discrimination ou account of prejudice, which charged to the Commissioners! He did not believe that Mr. Douglass was speaking as himself, but rather as the attorney of the Minor board.

The resolutious were then adopted, and when Mr. Douglass learned that Mr. Chase's amendment was included he withdrew his vote. The committee was appointed as follows Revs. R.

S. Williams, W. H. Draper, Jos. Collins, Noble Snowden, Jesse Lawson, W.

J. Howard and Sydney W. Herbert.
