unanimously adopted;
The committee on Rates of Advertis.
ing and Job Work beg leave to submit
the following report:
lst. We deem il inexpedient at this
time to prescribe any fixed rates for adj
vertising or job work, but would recon-
mend that when more than one paper is
published ia a town or county that the
publishers there mutually agree upon a
list of prices for their locality.
ID. That we will not undertake to do
any kind of campaign printing without
first receiving payment in advance for
the same and at regular rates.
Sd. That all legal publications must
be paid for in advance.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:
lst, ReSOlred, That our representatives
in Congress be respectfully requested to
use their influence and votes To remove
the special tax upon publishers, and
that the Recording Secretary is hereby
authorized and required to furnish q
copy of this resolution to each of Our
representatives in Congress.
ResOlred, That we disprove and con-
denim the practice of receiving orders
for goods from advertising agents as
part payment for advertising, as iDiur-
ious and debasing to the profession, and
that hereafter VIC will neither make nor
accept contracts of this character.
On motion the time for holding the
next annual Convention Of the press was

and the weunding of several. The prin-
Cipal riot was in n contest of the negroes
with the Metropolitan Police, and did
not result from the antagonism of po-
litical parties,
Early last night the negroes COM
menoed to oongregate in she vioiaity of
the polls, which they took possession of
early this morning, and held until one
o'clock. Tney consulted freely among
themselves and determined that no col

ticket. In a precinct in the Second
Ward mulattO named Stuart appeared
to vote, and was instantly recognized as

barely escaped with his life into an ad-
joining house, whence the crowd fol-
lowed, driving out the family that oc-
cupied it, and endesvoring to secure
Stuart, amid cries of Hang him." At
this juncture Superintendent Richards,
OF the Police, arrived on the ground,
backed by reserved police of mounted
men, and sent word to Stuart
to come from his hiding place
and vote, and he would be pro-
tected. The latter at once ap-
peared, when large crowd made q
rush az him, but were driven back by
the police. The patrolmen then formed
hollow square around Stuart, and the
latter, with the Superintendent, moved
on guarded by the police. At least a

Hanging OF the Wade Ditcher Muir
derers.


Baker and Thomas, two negroes, we're
executed at Halifax, North Carolina, on
Friday, the 4th inst, for the murder of
one Wade Ditcher, negro, year ago.
They were to have been hanged on Fri
day, the 2Sth ult., but were respited at
the very last moment, the ropes being
around their necks and the caps on.
TIE Governor finally designated Friday
as the day, and saw no further reason to
interfere. A telegram to the New York
Herald, from the place of execution,
says:
There was little excitement and the
crowd was unusually small for such an
occasion. At half-past twelve the con-
demned were brought forth from their
cell, attended by the priest and deputy
sheriff. They assembled the ladder lead
ing to the scatfold, firmly pinioned by
the arms. They were thOn pini oned at
the knees and ankles. Holding the
cross between the criminals and array
ed in his sacerdotal robes, the priest
then delivered short prayer,
at the conclusion of which the
priest put the white caps on the con-
demned, which forever closed the view
to all earthly things. Shortly after
ward the Sheriff adjusted the fatal
neose, and amid an impressive silence,
the priest said Baker and Thomas beg
ged to be forgiven, and that they had
forgiven everybody. With this short
but awfully solemn address, the Sheriff
then read the death warrant of the Gov
ernsr ordering the execution.
At twenty minutes to one P. NJ. the
prop was knocked from beneath the
drop, and the criminals were suspended
between heaven and earth. There was
the wailiBg of woman Bakers
mother) heard without the enclosure
when the heavy thud of the drop broke
the breathless stiffness of the scene.
Excepting this the execution passed off
quietly. The necks of both weTe broken
though the fall was bat four feet.
In eleven minutes life was de-
clared extinct by the attending
physician, DIR. Hart, and after hanging
twenty minutes, the bodies were cut
down, Bakers remains were immedi-
ately placed in coffin and conveyed to
the railroad depot, followed by his
mother, They were taken to Weldon,
whence they will be sent to his place of
burial. Innocent or guilty-and there
are many opinions on the subject-tbe
reputed murderers of Wade Dltcher are
in eternity.
