Tho attondanco was largo ar?d woll behaved Tho negro building was tumid over to tho exposition dirootors by Dr. W. D. Crum of Charleston, a colored physioian, with an appropriate addioss. Tho crater of tho day was Prceidont T. E. Miller of tho Stato Collogo, looatod at Orangeburg, who was liatonod to with interest by all presort. President Miller opened with a glowing tributo to Licoolu, tho omancipator of his raoo, and to Fred Douglas, "tho greatest negro that nas over soon tho light cf day in this or in any ether country," and thero ect forth the great benefits to oorno to Charleston from Tho Exposition. Of tho negro's part in this ontorpri6o ho said: "Have wo, tho ncgroep, had a plaoo assigned us? llavo wo dono anything to assist youY llavo you reuicmb?rcd us? Have you responded to cur ro quest? Yes, gontlemcn, negro nmsoio ard brain have rceporded to your every call in ovory field of labor that you bavo assigned thtrn here.

Taking up tho raoo question and tho history of tho negro, iho spoakcr said: "Thank God, our freedom is recognized as a blessing to tho South, aud God is God and right is right, tbo day is bound to dawn upon us when every right that follows laithiul servioo and fitness will bo frcoly and lo'drgly ex tended to us by our rulers, 1 am a negro, and if it wero not that I was convinced that wo must remain hero in tbo South, relying upon esnistujco t>at mun ocmo 11 ouu wii hin, yet at ail times making tho beet of every opportunity, i wou.d lo'.fl tbo United Slates, and at oloc.
