Tub Lunenburg people will yet see their mistake and the ring which has blinded the masses to the innocence of the women will yet receive their re? ward.

Wk have received a pnmphlet, en? titled "The NegToes and the Bap: by that prince of Roman Catholic John Slattery of Balti? more. The article appeared in "The Catholic World Magazine" for Rev. Slattkby is foremost in his Bfllf sacnltcing devotion to thc interests of the colored people, and makes a reply to the outrageous declarations of the Roman Catholic, Bfr.BoOBBB L.

Didi BRof Baltimore. Hi? manly defense of the tenets and teachings of the Church of Home is lost flight of in his attack upon that great and good man, Rev. Dr. T. J.

Morgan, secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. To our surprise, he frankly admit? that he intended to make no reply to Mr. Didikr's strictures relative to our people, and only wrote the article in question on account of the leatlet issu? ed by Gen. Morgan. His explanation of this is given as follows: Naturally, our readers may think, why is this paper of Didier's noticed now, after so long a silence on our part, although urged heretofore to take it up? We passed it hy not only be? cause we were ashamed ol it.

hut also because there is no arguing ith preju? dice. Silence is ever the best answer to vituperation. He then cites the fact that the leaf? let, "Man or Baboon?" by Gen. Mok? oan has been scattered broad-cast throughout the South. Rev.

Slattery, usually cool, collected and gentleman? ly so far forgets himself, as to indulge in slander and makes references to Gen. Moboan'b record immediately after the war. In this, he violates the very principles which he had a few minutes before laid down. He even goes so far as to speak of the Baptist Secretary as Morgan. But, enough, Mr.

Didibr has done the Church with which he is identified much harm and that his utterances should be made use of to the detri? ment of the Church in Rome is no sur? prise. The intolerant spirit which pervades the latter part of the article of Rev. Slattery is what nas caused most of the criticism to which members of his faith have been subjected. Had the pamphlet in question been devoted in its entirety to a refutation of what Mr. Didibr asserted, and the assertions of Dr.

Morgan ignored, the effect among right-thinking people would have been more pronounced and the disposition to further profit by the misrepresenta? tions of a Roman Catholic lessened. Wi have received "The Key to Scriptural Interpretation" by Rev. L. J. Coppin.

The introductory is writ? ten by Rev. J. C. Embrv, D. D.

The book is handsomely bound in cloth, 209 pages and contains informa? tion which will richly repay the one purchasing it. The explanations are con oise and Rev. Coppin, who is also edi? tor of the A. M. E.

ANOTHER DECISION The Supreme Court of the United States on Monday, May 18, 1896 ren? dered a decision in the case of Plessy against Ferguson sustaining the con? stitutionality of the law of Louisiana requiring the railroad' of the State tc provide separate cars for white and colored passengers. Justice Harlan dissented. This is another practical demonstration ol the effect of public sentiment upon ev? en the greatest judicial body in the world. We can be discriminated against, we can be robbed of our political rights, weean be persecuted and murdered and yet we cannot secure a legal re? dress in the courts of the United States. Truly Las evil days come up? on us.

But a reckoning day will come and all classes of citizens, sooner or la? ter realize that a government which will not protect cannot demand for it? self protection. The national government is being brought within very narrow limits, that of the territories and the District of Columbia and if the present con aaaaSBI tion ot the law is many mare nictated it will be a great to be Governor than it will to bel idetit of the Tinted States. vbby statement made bj kn vTin upon the occasion of her consistent with her and no declaration made by her indicative of her guilt. A BRAVE DEFENDER he action of Jack Tkici, colored, fought fifteen white men killing and fatally and dangerously jnding two others is worthy of all nmendation. he mob came to regulate Tri rteen year-old-son and the father ended him as above stated.

admire the spirit of this inofTeti colored man. What right had hite men to attack his homo was his castle and the relatives of misguided outlaws will appreci the lesson received while the de ins of darkness are singing jp IT their departed souls. Colored men defend yourselves ainst all lawless comers.

Editor Preston's Neck Saved. Advocate! The advocate feels happy to-day in unouneing, (seeing saw not an op ortunity in doing so before, hs ours is ut weekly.) that poor penitent IT ash Smith. WOO iras sentenced tobe anged Wednesday of this week, has BOaired a commutation of sentence to fe imprisonment. As out Metropolis nhl sometime hinee, that a life imprifl nnient is very little belier than hang ng. yet, it is preferable, and we doubt poor Wash appreciates this.

The Advocate mast not fail to men ion thal thi- commutation by the Joveruor and Pardoning Board was one through the instrumentality of I .1. Preston, the editor of the Jack onville Advocate, neglected his order to circulate and obtain signa ures to the pe'ition, and who said to lis foreman in the Advocate's office, I can't attend to you now, for I am msy trying to save a poor man's life EDITORS BLACKWELL AND BOGER ARE ENTHUSIASTIC lurrah! for John Mitch ell, Jr and Pokey Barnes Every should read the last Ol tbe Richmond Piankt, giving account of the Vhtohv rained by the heroic efforts of Editor lohn Mitchell. in rescuing Pokey tJarnes. who was accused of murder, rom the gallows. Our readers will re nember that Pokey Hames with Mary and Solomon Marable were anthia four days of being hanged when Editor Mitchell interposed.

And now turns out that the grand jury could lot make out a true tull against Pokey Barnes after a previous court had with shadow of a shade of a true bill condemned her for the supposed mur ler of Mrs. Lucy Pollard. sometimes seems lo slumber, but when truth gets a heaving, it will ASSert its sway. This is a great tri? umph for Editor Mitchell, tor Pokey Barnes, for the Negro race and for jus? tice. Editor Hunter's Good Wishes.

Western Christian Recorder That right will ultimately triumph over wrong was mere forcibly illustrated than in the case of Pokey Barnes. Environed by hate, caste and prejudice twice condemned by per? jured testimony of a heinous crime; within the very sha lows of death she by the aid of an all wise Providence was rescued from her peril. Nu hu? man agency was more potent in bring? ing about this grand result than our noble contemporary, John Mitchell, of the Richmond Planet, lt is such Edi? tors as he, such journals as his that wield a force inestimable, in moulding and shaping public opinion, in teaching the masses to love justice and virtue rather than injustice and depravity May such journals increase and may their inlluence broaden. Cause For Ky. American Bap: Editor John Mitchell, who has made such a gallant fight in Virginia, for the Lunenburg prisoners who were con? demned to hang for murder has cause for rejoicing this week.

The prisoners came near being lynched but this was averted and they obtained a new trial at which Pokey Barnes was acquitted last week. She was hastily taken to Richmond after her release where she received a great ovation. Thus tIn law is vindicated and the innocence of a helpless woman established. A Plain Statement. 0 Voice of the The case of Pokey Barnes, indicted in the famous Lunenburg case been nolle prosequied, and she is free Mary Abernathy was found guilty of murder in the first degree.

The case will be carried to the Supreme Court on error. Editor John Mitchell deserves great credit for the manly stand he has tak? en. He insists that the three colored people are innocent of the murder of Mrs. Pollard, anil that Solomon Mara? ble is guilty. Editor Hunter Bemoans Her Fate Christian Mary Abernathy, although innocent and proven to be of the Lunenburg murder, has been convicted of murder in the first degree.

Thus ends the celebrated case where a jury compos? ed entirely of white men, place a pre? mium upon perjury, hate, injustice, and prejudice where the innocent are not protected and human id relent? lessly sacrificed to appease the passion of human blood-hounds. How long, oh how long will it A Glowing Tribute. Pa. Christian Banner John Mitchell, ison top in this state. He has saved Pokey Barnes from the gallows, and we thmk that he will save Mary Abernathy.

Richmond is wild with praise for her young hero. Those who seek his downfall may as well cease their disgraceful proceed? ings. Very few Negroes are willing to lead we know and since we have one in the person of John Mitchell, we are going to stand by Ct rrespondence. Another Great Victory. Joseph, Mo.

National Protest John Mitchell, Jr. of the Richmond Planet, has won another great victory. Pokey Barnet, one of the accused wo? men for murder has been acquitted. To the Readers of the PLANET.
