His Majesty, the Emperor, made many inquiries of the President of the University respecting the Singers, and their personal history, and the work they had accomplished, while the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess conversed freely with the Singers, making inquiries, and expressing great delight in the singing. It was especially gratifying to learn from the Crown Princess that four years ago, when the Jubilee Singers had the honor of singing before her Royal Mother, the Queen of England, she had received a long letter speaking of the Singers and their mission. The Crown Prince said, “These songs, as you sing them, go to the heart—they go through and through one.” The first public concert was given in Berlin, at the Sing Academy, on the 7th of November, and was greeted with such hearty demonstrations of approval, that success in Germany seems quite well assured. * * * * * A GOOD USE OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE. An article of two and a half columns in an Augusta, Ga. paper, begins thus: “The Superior Court room in the City Hall was crowded last evening with the colored voters of the county who had assembled to listen to addresses from Hon. Jos. B. Cumming, the Democratic nominee for Senator, from the Eighteenth Senatorial District, and Hon. H. Clay Foster, Independent candidate for the same position. Both these gentlemen were present by invitation of the colored people themselves.” Then follow abstracts of the speeches of the two candidates, wherein each attempts to show the colored voters that he has a stronger claim upon them than his competitor. This political gathering was peculiar in several respects. The audience was composed of Republicans, while the speakers were both avowed Democrats. The assemblage comprised a distinct class in the Senatorial district. This class was composed of those who during most of their lives had enjoyed fewest opportunities to obtain knowledge and learn how to vote intelligently. And what is most vital, they, as the speakers seemed to tacitly acknowledge, held the balance of power. In other words, they, whatever their standing might be in society, and whatever qualifications they might possess or lack, were to decide which of the two candidates should represent the PEOPLE of the Eighteenth District in the State Senate.
