The election of q Judge is a matter

slider. It will be the duty of the voters
of this district next week to choose a
Judge to administer justice among
them for eight years and Mr. Daniel

Is he fit for it ?
If unbridled passion and uncontrol-
liable temper render O man unfit to sit
in the judgment seat, then Judge
liussell has publicly confessed that he
is utterly disqualified to be upon the
bench.
At Town Greek, in Brunswick county,
on Friday last, there was tax gath
ering and candidates and others spoke.
Judge Russell was also there and in
the course of the day became engaged
in most unseemly wrangle to call
it by no harsher name, with one
of his fellow citizens, in which he
publicly cursed and swore and gesticu-
lated in q violent manner. Some of
the Judges expressions were "It is a

''You are a liar, God damn you."

Threatened Conflict of Race. III
IN issiSsisu.

For q week pnst trouble has been
brewing III Ficlsburg, Mississippi. A
conflict between the whites and negroes
seemed imminent, and the danger is
not yet over. The negroes have, for
months, been forming military orgaDi-
cations. A few days since they made
an open demonstration by placing
picketj around the city, stopping We
hicles and persons, and the whites at
once began to arm in defence. Tele-
graphic correspondence commenced
between the city, State and Federal
authorities and troops received orders
to repair there, but The orders were
conntermanded, the city authorities
protesting that they were able to take
care OF themselves and preserve the
peace and maintain respect for the
laws. The Radical Governor demand
Ell the troops, because it is believed
that there IS Il fair prospect of Demo
cratic victory IN the approaching mu-
nicipai election, and he desired to in
tlmidate voters. But, as stated. the
order of the Secretary of War sending
troops was countermanded, and that
upon The protest of the authorities
and citizens of Vicksburg. We find
the following item in Western ex-
change, which will further explain
the situation:
The struggle, ont of Which it is
thought violence will grow, seems t"
be one wherein the whites are striving
to throw off the rule of the colored
brother, which they find is peculiarly
calling. The eolored brother, where
ever he has the upper hand in the
South, does not appear to improve the
opportunity TO rule with coDcihatine
mildness. The criticism is made that
Gov. Ames find it convenient to be ab-
sent a p,easuring at this important
moment, just as he found it convenlen.
to close up his house and take "
boarding when Mrs. Ames found the
cOlored brother too numerous and en-
thusiastic at official receptions ana so
cial occasiC rs.
And this, from another exchange,
shows up Davis:
Lieutenant Governor Davis wants
troops for Vicksburg, while the mayor
and postmaster of that city protest
against the presence of soldiers dunng
the election. An order for the transfer
of two companies from Jackson has
been countermanded, and Davis un-
happiness is therefore complete.

OUR STE ENGTIl AND OUIt DUTY.
SOME PLAIN TALK.

We desire to say few very plain
words to our readers this morning
and we trust they Will be needed.
The issue i'll this campaign is Ill
many, if not in all of it's aspects, one
of race. The white people, alarmed at
the constant encroachments of the ne
groes and driven to the wall, have at
last turned to defend themselves, their
wives and their children from the en-
! braces OF the negro. Disguise 1T as
yor will this is the issue now before
us. Unless the new Congress shall be
| largely reinforced by Democratic mem
bcrs, the Civil Rights bill will be the
law Of the land, SO far AS Congress can
make it so before Christmas.
White men of the District do you
know your own strength? .? Let us see
| how the case stands In that part of the
State covered by our Congressional
and Judicial Districts.
| In the county of Carteret, according
to the census returns, we have ma
| iority of 785 white voters, 800 of whom
| have never voted Has the county of
| Carteiet done her full duty iii giving
only 323 majority when she has white
majority of 7S5?
Columbus county gave us majority
Of 3SJ votes two years ago with
white majority in the county of over
| 500. Will that DO for Columbus
| uarnett, with white majority of
52I, gives us only 100 majority.
Moore, with white majority Of
| l 100 votes, gave Mer1 mon two years
ago only 15t majority. Fully $50
white men in Moore county did not
go to the polls.
OnsIow, with white majority of
571, gave only 400 majority two years
ago. From 175 to 200 white men III
Onslow county did not go to the polls.
Sampson county, with clear white
majority of 500, gave for Merrimon a
majority of only 2G3 votes. Full 100
white men stayed away from the polls
and another 100 voted for Caldwell.
Blnden, with Il white majority of
1O4 votes, gave Caldwell majority OF
24O votes. Brunswick, with white
majority of 239, gave Merrimon ma
iority of only votes. OF 1000 white
voters in the county of Brunswick
there are at least 300 who do not go to
the polls. What say You white men of
Bladen and Brunswick can yOu vote
the Radical ticket now that the fight is
one between the black race and the
white race? What say you; will you
go with yOnr color, or Will you 60
against it ?
If the whito men will only do their
duty Colonel Mckoy's majority for
Judge will be over / 800 votes, and
Colonel Waddell's majority for Con-
gress will he over 3, 500 votes. In the
Judicial District we have a clear white
majority Of 2,375 votes. In the Con
grossional District we have n clear
white majarity of 4,120 votes.
Our party is the white mans party,
and the Radical party is the negro
party.
Does any white voter think this is
not true statement OF the case? Ii
he does, let linn ask his wife or his
daughter, or his mother or his sister.
The women of the country are true
now as they have ever been, and We
call upon them to exert their powerful
Influence. We are perfectly willing tc
leave the case in the hands of the wo
! men of the country
