DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE. TO MUIR
DER..-Last Friday evening towards night
Mr.. John W. Dawkins, merchant of
Rockingham, Richmond county, was as
saulted and shot at his store by James r.
Long, one of the numerous family q
Longs in RichIn nd county. Long, ii
seems, went into the store of Mr.. Daw-
klns for the purpose of settling an ac-
count. They disagreed rs to the amount,
and it was understood that a lawsuit
would be resorted to for settlement. Long
then went out Of the store, and when just
outside of the door turned, and, holding
up his fists, said to Mr. Dawkins, ''if he
would come out they would settle with the
case there" Mr.. Dawkins went to the
door, when Long drew pistol and fired,
the ball severing one of Mr.. Dawlins' fin
gers from his hand. Long then jumped
behind O tree and fired O second shot,
This time the ball entered Mr.. Dawkins'
thigh near the groin, and passed entirely
through. Mr.. Dawkins then turned to
left his own store, going in the direction
of the store of Mr.. Stewart, near at hand.
a crowd which had collected then took
Longs pistol from him; but intent upon
the further injury of Mr.. Dawkins he drew
knife and followed the man he had al
ready disabled into Stewards store. There
he again assailed Mr.. Dawkins, and draw
ing his knife across his face laid his teeth
open, as it were, on one whole side. This
shameful and brutal scene was then ter
minated by the arrest of Long, who was
lodged in prison.
Long was subsequently brought before
Justice W. f. Fowlkes, who committed
the prisoner to Jail to await trial at the
next term of the Superior Court, bail be-
ing refused.
MIR. Dawkins' injuries were considered
dangerous until Tuesday last-lock-iaw be-
ing apprehended-when the physician pro-
nounced him out of danger.

Negro Suffrage.

The memorial against negro suffrage
presented by Mr.. Salisbury in the Senate
quotes the following interesting opinions
of eminent statesmen of all parties, ADra-
ham Lincoln included, on the question Of
negro equality. John Adams said:
[ hive never read reasoning more alb
surd, sophistry more gross. than the subtle
labors of Helvetius and Rosseau to de-
monstrate the natural equality of man
kind.
Thomas Jefferson said:
Nothing is more certainly written in the
book of fate than that these people 0he
negroes) are to be free, nor is it less GER
tain that the two races, equally free, can
not live under the same government.
Daniel Webster said:
If any gentleman from the South shall
propose a scheme 10 be carried on 10y this
government upon a large scale for the
transportation of the colored people to any
colony or any place in tho world, 1 should
be quite disposed to incur almost any
degree of expense to accomplish that OBJ
ject.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1870-02-11

o. the utility of total separation of
two incongruous races OF our population,
supposing it to be practical. none have
ever doubted; the mode of accomplishing
that desirable object has alone divided
public opinion.
Stephen A. Douglass said
I believe this government was made by
white men for the benefit of white men
and their posterity forever; and I am in
favor of combining citizenship to white
men of European descent, instead of con-
ferring it upon negroes Indians and other
inferior races.
Abraham Lincoln said:
[ am not, and never have been, in favor
of making voters or Jurors of negroes, nor
OF qualifying them to hold office, nor to
intermarry with the whites; and will say
further, in addition to this, that there is a
physical difference between the white and
black races, which I believe will forever
forbid the two races living on terms of So
cial and political equality.
