sronIsd FOB RIOT.
While sitting in q car on sa urdsy evening
last. we overheard conversation betweep the
passengers, relative to the late riot IN Chsrles-
Ton. The most prominent speaker was gent
from Augusta, who said he had cume down to
charleston to see the base ball players on
Monday, and to have hand in thrash ng the
Cnarleston "nlggers, !" who he said were not
properly taught to keep the peace. he vas
taunting the Charleston peop abo,t their
being kept In CONSERVATION BIZ their ,nruly
nigger population" He said that they oaehf
to come to Augusta. and see how we keep
them in their places" He said hc had como,
down for the purpose OF seeing the fuo which
expecting that the negroes would create q
not, or rather we suspect that it was the
purpose Of these gents to get up another dis
turbance. We suggest to these gents that
the colored people Of South Carolina are
as peaceable and law abiding class, Of citi-
zens as can be found in any land; they
and taunts which may be heaped upon them
30 long as thele are no overt acts Of personal
violence used to make them feel degradation.
They deprecate every act, Of whatever class OF
persons, which tends to destroy the pence and
order of this community; but ue can dssure
our friends from Georgia that there Is not a.
drop Of co,oards bood in the ueins Of ae
his former instructors and associates in
life; he has contempt, Of life when
his rights are ut stake, and DlteneUey
the Georg,dns aoant TO test their n,ettle they can
find JVty thousand IN Mis State ,oho s1,H crafty
ttei,. a,Rbuion for riot in tioe n,.nutes. These
individuals have been under the Instructions
Of Montgomery. OF Kansas notoriety, and Of
Benjaman F. Butler, well known to the South
ern chivalry. They have no more fear Of the
Georgia unreconstructed than they have OF the
Chinese. That class of this community arc
ready at almost any time to grd!yy those ,Rho
are anxious for "a Jray."' They have had some
experience in that hnd Of thing. Yet We be,
lieve that that class are law-abiding men, and
will be thH'last to break the peace, unless pro-
yoked to defend their rights against what they
regard as Aagraut violxtions. The Savannah
papers state that the negroes in that city are
kept in their places by their efficient police
force. They suggest that the killing OF j
few OF the leaders world efectually put sup
to their insuborhnation." It might put step
not yet free. but We doubt not that such
co:rse here would only tend to increase The
trouble. Blind fury is not easily stayed; sat ana
we hope the time Will never come to our CITY
when SUCH an occurrence shall tdke place. We
counsel pesae and desire tho. laws TO- pulns
the Sdilty; for the attempt to kill the supposed
puilty. in the time Of riot, frequently peaetA
| ia the death Of mora innnA""' --rsona,c.p
otherwise. We are glad to know that NE hys
| in community Of white men who have more
consideration for the welfare Of the comphni-
| ty, and the maintenance Of law and order
than the qualification Of their hatred Of tho
colored man. We have elassof white efss'
zens who know the pc pie among whom titey
| live, and whose Judgment prompts them to
heed not the urgiDgs Of certain hotheads, !whe
! you'd bring on collision simply because q
few pnwise persons among the oolored COM
1nunfty may happen to err on some occasions.
We are law-abiding In this State, and will
make the laws 30 respected that No riotously
disposed white man may come from Georgia
or any other place to regulate our sfsirs. Let
them obey the laws when in this State, and We
shall have no reason to complain OF them, and
We shall bersure to compel our citizens TO do
no less than that within our borders. We
need no more turbulent spirits in this State
than those We have now; but We heartily wish,
we hdd less to disturb our prosperity and tar
nish our good name. LET GEORGIA KREP HKR
