But do knowthat 8uch as he has never before .kora, and we know he is surely here.If the Negro race has ever producedhis equal we have never seen such aorheard of such, and if the race can byany means produce his equal we asktbat the race shall name the manquickly and if that is not done we willturn our eyes towards the chief gener¬al of the H.

    eejual, it is an everlasting habitationfor as many multitudes as are worthyof life, and we knetw that every mem¬ber of tbe race whet is looking for any¬thing genni tet come* to them, ought totake to the> H. T. A. System, for in it islife evermore. South Caretlina willrun a race with any other state in tin-Union for who can bring the riiKiney to its system. We number inthis State no less than three hundredthousand men and women and we aregoing to do our level best to apply tendollars per head to the H. T. A. Etem in the State id South Carolinawithin twelve months time from thisdate, win or lose. If we do thatwill have three million dollars in the

    cm in this state*. Wc wish all thepeople of the race knew as much aboutthe H. T. A System as we do.Oh, how we wish we could make the

    whole race te> understand it in onedays' time but we cannot. If we wereonly able, we would convey to theminds of every good man and womanof the race the particulars of the H T.

    tem at our own expense but wecannot, therefore we will not try. Wewill only introduce its name in partand ourselves as e*xei*utors of its* sys¬tem, and then if any other man or setof men or women of the race wi sh in jjte> knetw all abeuit it in full, we de*e*m itrighti* or them to pay tlof conveyance giving us good retas to who they are, and a photograplso that we can »ee the likeness of the

    f all to whom we unfold t)dity of its system. Therefore aform all men, that you need ne>t writeto us asking any questions, for we w ilnot answer you. We will not take timeto answer enquiries. $1.00 is tlof answering and if any man or wo¬man is afraid of losing a dollar lefour of them send 25cts, or ten of then10 cents making up the eiollar."With this semi photo and reference

If you fail tedo this you need not write to uther should you send us $1.00 if yetiare not a Christian for the management etf the H. T. A. System is entrused to the children of (rod.strictly anethem only. If its particulars are to bemade known, it is highly essential thathey seek into it and manage it. Therefore if wicked men send us $1.00 anewe lind it out we will not send takenany of the particulars, and we do nowant their dollars at this period, buby and by we will entertain all of thenon the subject.The method we herein mention beat

You will lind it inposible to do so, until you first pro*,yourselves to be alright in principl.and you need not try to outwit hiwith the people. It is just wastirtime and breath trying to do so. Iis fully qualified to refute any argment that famous men will malagainst him. We have seen such arwe know that whoever is against hiis also against right, and God likewieHe is chief of all we have ever knovof men in the Negro race, and to tlpoor people of the race we steadfastsay, if each of you will turn to his avice, to the H.

More besides, $]opens the gate and walks you intoof its great mysteries, and sets yeyes on its ways of happy life in peaoutside of it, we see none near 1people of ours, and outside of its wthere is no happiness for the presgeneration of our race, on the Am.can continent.

    within eighteen months' time fromthis present date, and we see a way bywhich each of them shall live if everyother man or woman of tbe race shouldhappen to perish for the want of help.A hint to the wise is sufficient, thua nomore information will be published orgiven, no enquiries will be answeredunless accompanied with at least $1.00lxtok out fetr our general convention inAugust either in Washington, D.

    In eireler to make along story short,we will just inform tbe race that in tbepresent condition the race is in now,that there is1 no invention that will de¬nver the race 'rom their state of de-iwndency and captivity, but the H.

Nature has endowed each singerwith a fine voice, and it is hard to saywho was the favorite. Expressions ofpleasure and satisfaction were heard onevery side. The music is bright andpleasing and was rendered in a credita¬ble manner. We regret that the singerswere not greeted by larger audiences, aathey deserved. Mrs. Dr. Jeckson waspianist. Mrs. Rosa K.

    A Yolce from New Orlesns

    (New Orleans, La., Monitor.)The Richmond Planet of the 131

    inst., devotes two pagea to the sayingand doings o; one W. W. Browne,prominent colored citizen of the "OiDominion." Mr. Browne is grand chiofa local organization known as tl"True Reformers," president of a banand ths promoter or manager of severother business enterprises rnn by peeole of color in and around RichmonMr. Brownelea "bustler." As a bmness man he is a grand success, but aa"reformer" he is an utter failure, MBrowne, though grand .chief of tl'-True Reformers," sadly needs reforiing himself. He doesn't know that thehas been a war. With him Virginiastill'Ole Virginny" and "white folkiare still "white folks" Mr. Browne isman of considerable influence, especialamong the old time Baptists of "the sido move" stripe. He is one of those otimers in the eyes of whom a white mihas a prestige of whieh no social or plitical changes can divest him. iiBrowne thinks that a white skin ismark of mental and physical snperioty. Having been accustomed to bei)addressed by white folks as "boy," kBrowne is perfectly delighted whenwhiteman slaps him on the shouldnow and calls him 'Uncle Billy." Jconsiders this a great improvementthe ante-bellum "boy;" and so it is: "tsun do move."Mr. Browne is perfectly horrifiedTeamoh and Bro. Mitchell's enteri

    the official residence of the GovernorVirginia, and lunching with the goveior.Mr. Browne has written a letter e

    pressing bis horror of this unheardbreach of the color line.a letter tbhas raised such a storm of indigneprotest about his ears that he bareknows where he is "at." This ante tlum relic thinks that Teamoh, whenreached the official residence of the Gewith the delegation, should have waitoutside until the delegation had finis!lunching !Bro. Mitchell of the Planet who 1

    companied Teamoh upon the occas iiseems to take the matter coolly.does not seem to think there ie any rson for so much Iud*.We think if the Teamoh episouo t

    FIYEWERELYNCHED.THREE COLORED BEX AND TWOCOLORED WOMEN LAUNCHED .

    INTO ETERNITY.

    Arrested on Suspicion of Harder -ADastardly Crime-A Blot Upon

    tko Hootklaod.

    MoNTe;oMBRv, Ala.. April 22..A gen-1tiemau who arrived at 9 o'clock laatnight from 'Jreenvill 3, Ala., forty milt*800th of here reports that five Negroeswere lynched near there Saturday night.Just before his train left Greenville, thesheriff of the county came into toa n andstated that in passing through theBuckalow plantation, three miles fromtown, he found the five colored peoplethree men and two women hanging bytheir necks to some trees. Their bodieswere cold and they had evidently beendead tor some boura. Saturday nightnews reached Greenville of the brutalmurder near Butler, in that county, ofWatts Murphy, a popular young whiteman, by three colored people. Murphywas a prominent iyoung farmer, being anephew of the late Governor Watts, ofthis city. After murdering him, tbe col¬ored people ie alleged to have placed bisbody in a brush heap and thenthey burned the heap. The debris wasexamined aud the teeth, liver and theheart of the victim were found. The balance of the body had been consumed.An investigation was instituted. Threecolored people were arrested and yeaterday one of them gave way, and confessed the crime, implicating two other eal.ored men and the two women. The c Hicere secured them and were closely guarding tbe prisoners when last heard ofSaturday night. The report does notgive the details of how the mob securedthe murderers, except that they weretahen by force. A telegram from Green¬ville confirms the story.Their names were John Rattler, Zib

    Colley, Martha Green, Alice Green andMary Deane. Another colored man whowas also implicated, made his escape.A poase ot "brave" and determined

    men, wbo had charge of the five persons,started from Butler Springs, a distanceof about sixteen miles weet of Greenvillewith the 5 prisoners, at about lo or llo'clock Saturday night, with the obj°ctof placing them all in the country jailfor trial.At 8 o'clock yesterdav morning, at

    a lonely place, enroute, the party whichwas slowly wending their way to theGreenville jail, was halted and com¬manded, upon pain of instant death, tobe still.A hundred, probably, of "brave" and

    desperately determined men, with armsin their hands, took the five prisonerstrom the guards and hong them tolimbs of trees and left therr bodies dang¬ling in that position.

    Among tbe cranks of the day are thosewith the craz-) for sermons only twentyminutes long. Perhaps they are right,it ought not to take aa long to empty akeg as it does to empty a barrel, a tierceor a hogshead. Many recent manufac¬tured preachers have only in biblicalknowledge a keg capacity. Manychurch goers in spiritual things scarcelyreach a keg capacity. Their minds andthoughts are so absorbed in carnalthings,.rendering tribute unto Cu*-iar,that when they go to church, they areexamining their watches and the clockfor the expiration of twenty miuutee.It can be aaid to them as said Christ |toPeter: "What could ye not watch withme one hour?" Those same cranks willspend twenty times twenty minutea inamusements of every description andhowever unprofitable.

    It hath been said that Africa and thedescendants of Africa, had no represen¬tation or exhibits at the Centennial Ex¬position at Philadelphia 1870. Beforeme is an authentic book concerning saidExposition from which I glean the fol¬lowing..' In the north division waa setthe paintings of Africa. Ramesis ll andSesostris occupying the center." Js>maica sent her rums and sugars, nativewoods and hemp. Tasmania, Bahamas,Trinidad, Guiano, were represented bytheir various products. Of the Africankingdoms.after Egypt.tbe best andonly displays were made by the OrangeFree State and Tunis. An unexparray of minerals, native woods, ivory,grains, mohair, and wool composed thechief part ol the collection. But thecases containing the wealth of the featliery races of South-eastern Africa fromthe infinitesimal humming-birds to thcstraggling descendants of the dinorniswere of still greater interest and beautyThea came an old Virginia tobacco faetory, where all tbe processes of makingwere exhibited. And the colored peopleas they wrought, made the hall resouncwith the wierd plantation melodies othe Southland." There was not a Negro building there, all were together regard less of color or texture of hair. Athe Chicago Exposition colored persomwere represented.The proprietor of a Southern cafe

    endeavored to have some colored meiarrested because they took seats at onof his tables as guests for meals, but he Police refused to arrest or remov<them. See if such wiil be the case at Atlanta. Try it who may of black complexion, and the Atlanta police wilsoon land him in the calaboose.It is passing strange how that som

    persons of color strenuously object tea special car and waiting room for colored persons, claiming such to bebadge of inferiority, and yet they arwilling to be put into a separate building called a Negro building, and yet dnot think that such is a mark of inferority. It is just as much a mark of itleriority as the separate car.We may be under the necessity criding in a separate car, becaui

    of business, sickness or death, but wefainot under the necessity ot going intoseparate building designated as a Negrbuilding because of our color and descendancy.It is said that we must submit to sud

    being classified as inferiors by natuiand otherwise, in order to let it Iknown who the American Negro is anwhat be can do. It is an absurd idethat the overwhelming majority thcconstitutes the nation of sixty-two milion of inhabitants, does not know wtthe American Negro is, and what hcapabilities are and that all he wantsa white man's chance.The thousands of lives lost, the mi

    lions of dollars expended, the vast nutbar of widows and orphans made by tllate intestine war, the reconstruct iedays, the ku-kluxes, the outrageoiefforts to deprive Negroes of their votelynchings and other misdemeanors aicrimes against tbe Negro, has made hifrom Maine to California, from tbe laketo the Gulf of Mexico, well-known. TlAnglo-Saxon cry east, weet, north aisouth: "We must keep the Negro dovtbat he may not become our equalshow conclusively that his capabilitiand susceptibilities are well-known.

    lt is well enough to submit to tmark of inferiority when we cannot heourselves. Otherwise when necessity*»'»t laid upon us Rambler begs toexcused.

    lt is the curse ol Spiritualism thatinall large cities there are a class of menand women who claim powers they donot possess. They have neither gifts,e^redentials, nor references.
