It is matvoloDB , ua well a a curioslly
to white people , why it is that to few
black peop'o ever get into , or hold n pub-
lia cilice. They have noticed particularly
that most of the public offices held by
olorci men nro by mulattoea , ench as
lliram llovolf , B. K. Bruce , Join M.
Lengatcn , E. P. McCabe and Frederick
Bolivian. They want to know where
the b'ack ' men aro. They aho want ta
know , whether tbey , the black men ,
luvo the ability and the oducitlon to put
thorn where Iheao bright mulattocn arc.
