despatch to the New York Times tells
how tho victim was decoyed into a
dark room, strung up with lasso, and
finally. as the story goes:
He was told that he must die. He
then asked to be allowed to take last
look from the window of the office at
his home and any of his family that
might ba in view. The request was
granted, and when Stephens stepped
10 the window he heheld his little
homo, end his two little children play
ing in front CT his house. He was
then thrown down on a table, two
o; tho Ku-Klux holding his arms.
J,he rope was ordered to be dawn
tighter, and tho negro was ordered to
gat bucket to catch the blood. This
done. cnn CT the crowd severed the
blood III tho bucket, and Stephens was
dead. His body was lsid on pile of
wood in the room, and the murderers
went up st,ira, took part in the meet
ing, and stamped and applauded Dem
ocratic speeches.
And what i all this for? Must the
Northern heart be fired again? Must
sE.e Presidents leniency be checked
Must the compassion of Congress be
st;Hcd? Must the animosities of the
sections be rekindled, and the wounds
OF the war reopened? d? And for what
good? Possibly to save Radicalis,n in

Important information from Will
n1ington, North Carolina, indicates
that Henry Berry Lowery, the outlaw
reported Killed sometime ago, ID now
living in New York city. As he was
dead as door nail, and SO reported by
numerous witnesses, the only manner
in which he can possibly be in New
York is by adopting the theory Of
metempsychosis. Taking that view of
this singular case, it dexixud some
probability from the place to which the
a1i,natinG spirit of Henry Berry Low
cry has chosen to transrnigrate. In life
Ii doubtless felt that the field was too
contracted. North Carolina. offered
nothing hut life in the swamp, money
acquired by brutal and unscientific
murder, and dogs death and dogs
burial at last. New York offers Wall
street, broaGcloth, reapectability; new
trials Gd f7yfn5tas77z for the accidental
discharge OF e pistol in tho line of an
enemy; mourning coaches in the
blackest OF plumes. and sorrowing
friends III the deepest grief that can bs
purchased at the mourning counter of
Stewart's. If the spirit OF Henry Berry
Lowerv is anywhere on earth. it is sate
to predict that it is IN New York, and
finds it very comfortable there.-Bnlt

. S=EI: RADICAL DODGE.

Fo1 more than month past, says
the Savannah -Neurs, Radical shoddy-
dom IA ard about Washington has
becu il great perpiexity abou, the in
a,:rcrat:on bali TO come off OIL the 4th
OF March, Extensive preparat' ons have
been n-a.ie for the grandest affair OF
tha kind ever seen in this conntTy, OH
which occasion are to be assembled
the fashion and fash of the nation of
both sexes, and the event IS looked for
ward 10 ly the Beau Brummels and
Flora &I3cf1.lsies OF the great North
crn cities with eager anticipation.
There has been but & single discount
on the aT4tic pated enjoyment, and that
has been the dreaded presence OF the
coIored quality, who. urdar the new
order ~ things. claim tho right Of
minglirG in thc 1?azes .; the dance
with their white fellow citizens. Such
WAS rot ~ be endured. Bnt how to
a-oid ii has puzzled the Wits and baf-
fled the ingenuity Of those who have
the management Of the affair in hand.
Opcl opposition was out of tie ques-
ton. Consistency and policy forbade
the exclusion q the man and brother,
and l'crsua, ion vas unavailing. Caesar
and D;nall claimed the "civil right"
70 shake their heels with the white
trash at tiic Inauguration ball. and
they vera bound 70 be on hand in full
rig and redolence. In this dilemma
any expclicl,t, however costly deemed,
va jnstila,!e. and il seems that n
a pIen has at last been hit upon which
promises to solve the difficulty Money
can 30 anything in Washington, and
it was only necessary to buy over
few of the leaders of the ebony ton of
the metropolis and furnish money to
defray the expenses of another inaugu-
ration ball exclusively for the colored
quality. This plan has boon success
fully carried out, us will be seen by
the following from the Washington
correspontlent Of the Boston Post
"The prominent colOreu men OF
Washington are making extensive pre-
paratioi.s for grand ball to take place
in this city on the evening OF the 9Th
OF March, which they say shall eclipse
anything of the kind attempted in the
| United States. Those in charge of the
affair understand that they will not be
| debarrcd from attending the lnaugura-
/ ton ball, but have concluded that they
can enjoy themselves better by having
] q grand ball especially designed for
/ citizens of their own color, although 1t
| is probable that other respectable per-
sons desiring 20 attend will he permit
ted to do So
This arrangement must be perfectly
satisfactory to ell parties-to those
dai ltv Radical exclusives, male and
female, who. while they recognize and
would enforce negro equality in the
public schools and in popular places OF
resort and amusement, would still ex-
clude them from their aristocratic
circles-and to those respectable
negro-phoasts, who will find comfort
in the thought that they will be per-
lslitted to attend tho negro ball If they
desire to do SO. The whole arrange
nent is g master stroke Of diplomacy
for it secures the desired exclusiveness
without arbitrary exclusion on either
side,
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1873-03-07

cannot the House, whlie engaged IN
| exploring the depths Of its own rotten
ness, endeavor to keep up some show
of decancy in its proceedings? Cc
does corruption of morals necessarily
breed brutality Of manners?
Mr.. Farnsworth, in the debate or
public buildings, accidentlv shook his
finger at Mr.. platt, who happens - be
the owner O. Virginia granite quarry
He accompanied the finger shaking
with an allusior 10 "grauite and other
rings" whereupon Platt jumped up,
called Farnsworth liar, and SAID he
was ready to be held responsible ior
his words. Fornsworth responded by
calling Platt "a damned little fool"
and various other choice epithets. It
was thought at one time that the dith-
Guilty would be settled on the spot by
a rough and tumble fight, wit. tho
Speaker for referee and tie Sergeant-
alarms Us bottle-holder; but the dirty
business was finally adjusted i,y
joke from the presiding officer.
Much. snya the Missouri Rcpu6iicG7',
used TO be said about the Guarrelso.rie
nature OF "slave-holding aristocrass, "
and it was predicted by New England
philantlropists that whenever South
ern Representatives and Senators vera
expelled from the National Legislature,
Chesterfieldian era would begin and
continue forever. It il a painful, but
not altogether uusuggestive fact, that
there have been moro rows. squabhlas
and hlackguardism of al! sorta dis
played in Congress since 1861, than II
all previous Congressional history; and
that scenes transpira there every day
which would not have been tolerated
twenty years ago. There might 10
some prospect OF reform ;f.he Offending
parties were promptly punished So
they deserve; but when such vulgar
abuse as that indulged IL by Farns-
worth and PIatt is rewarded by Joke
from the speaker 'schair, and considered
a funny thing by the audience, i looks
as if the Congressional bcnr-garlicn
was permanent institution. Possibly
the people may conclude IL sou1e re-
mote hereafter, that gentlemen caE
make laws as well as iufIians. and cor
senuensly keep tho latter at homa a@,i
send the former 10 Washington.
