War Of Races in Maryland.

ANNAPOLIS, MD, April 6.-The
statement tclegraphed last night in
regard to the unfortunate dl.tur-
bance at the election yesterday ,f-
ternson, is, III the main. correct.
A number of our most respected and
influential citizens were at the polls
at the time, and all agree that the
negroes were the aggrcs.orS. 1t il
positively asserted that Williams,
who commenced firing, Was first
knocked down by a c"lored u,an
and while down and being assault
ed. drew his pistol and fired two
shots, both taking effect. Afterwards
a second assault WAS made by ne
gro upon n white man with cud gels,
and an indiscriminate firing between
the whites and blacks took place +;
some fifteen or twenty shots being
fired, Of these ten took effect, twr
white men and eight negroes being
sh"t OF the latter, ". Dorsey was
killed. Jno. Bell was shot in tho
mouth and back, Edward Lee in
tho back, JAS. Matthews in the chin,
Henry Cooper in the jaw, Daniel
l}rasbeans IN the breast and Henry
Tilligman in the head. l; is stated
this morning that Bell and Cooper
will probably die. The distur-
bance was finally quelled by the
whites of both parties interfering
to cause q cessation after the ne
grocs had rctrcated, otherwise they
would have been followed by the
exasperated crowd and more Sc
riOus consequences would have fol
lowed.

Now that Governor Ames has
purchased a residence on the sea
coast, we know he will entertain his
friends this summer. Well, who are
his friends? That's 10 be seen. A.
T. Morgan was once his friend SO
was Cardozo, Spclman, Ireland and
Alfred Handy, and lots of other col
lud gemmen of the Republican par
ty. We feel sure that Governor
Amos will not slight these distin-
guished gentlemen and their accom-
plishcd ladies, and that he will have
them with him Mt the seaside this
summer. 1t would be delightful to
all, we have no doubt. In our i'm

The Carthaginian wants Col. S. S.
CalhoOn nominated as q Congress
sional candidate for this district. He
is not man for the position, AMI
will not receive the nomination. He
was the author of the disarmament
movement ard is not popular with
the people. We don't pretend to
question his motives in wishing the
Democratic party disbanded, but it
was an unfortunate step, and one
that will never he forgotten by the
people. We think the Mighty
East" is entitled to the candidate,
and would rejoice to see Col. Jno.
w. Fcwell, of Meridian, receive the
nomination. He is a man of con-
siderable ability, an answering
Democrat, u man of the people, and
lost u leg while defending the land
he loved. What say the papers of
this district to his nomination
We find the above in the Newton
Ledger, and would suggest to our
friend Henry not to kick before he
is spurrcd. If the Carthaginian saw
fit to compliment our fellow-towns-
man, Col S. S. Calhoon, by stating
that he was the Carthaginian's choice
for Congressional honors, that IL
one thing. When Col. Calhoon's
card of declension appears, a. it
surely will, that will DO another
thing. 1t will then be time enough
for our friend of the Ledger to let
himself out. Col. CalhoOn is not
taking an inventory of his popular
ity, he has no political aspirations.
in fact is not q politician. So tho
Mighty East is free, as far as he ia
concerned, to run who it plcases,
Col. Jno. W. Jewell, of Meridian,
or any other man. We have every
reason to know that Col. Calhoon
has no political aspirations, and that
there is no office in the state or
Government that cxcitcs his ambi-
ton. What he did at Meridian near
ly two years ago in behalf of dis
bandmcnt, he did conscientiou-ly,
for the public good and not for his
own glorification. Again, Col. Cal
hoon is a patriot, not politician.

& CANTON RAIL.
ROAD BONDS.

Up to this time our county has
issued for the construction OF the
proposed railroad from this point
to Vicksburg $4,000 in bonds
These bonds run for twenty years
and bear per cent interest per an
mum. i.e. $3.50, which IN twenty
years will amount to sos, 900. Add
the principal to this last amount and
we have grand total of $3.50, 900
that is expected to come out OF the
taxpayers of our county, to say
nothing of the costs and incidentals
connected with the collection and
disbursement of this fund. Now,
we understand that some of the
parties holding these bonds are
willing TO take thirty three and
one-thirj cents in the dollar for
them. If such an agreement
could DC had with all of the holders
of the said bonds, We think it would
be wise for the county to buy them
up. Thirty thousand dollars would
be sufficient to do it with. But the
question arises where is the thirty
thousand dollars to come from, pro-
vidcd the bond holders should agree
to take thirty-thrcc and one third
cents in the dollar for their bonds.
We would suggest that our Board of
Supervisors create another fund, and
by an annual levy on our taxpayers
for two years of $50, 900 each year,
raise what might be termed a sinking
fund, which would be sufficient to
pay the thirty-threc and onethird
cents in the dollar and all accrued
interest, costs etc. Bonds could be is
sued on the faith of this levy, bearing
the same interest as the the railroad
bonds, which the holders of the lat
ter could have If they desired, if not,
they could be sold al their face val
ne and the bond-holders paid the
cash.
This is the shortest way out of
our trouble, and if all the parties
holding the railroad bonds are un-
willing to accede to it, then VIC say
let the county repudiate the debt.
Private individuals have bought
these bonds, to our knowledge, in
the last few weeks at less than thir-
ty-three and oLe-third cents in the
dollar; yes somc of our officials have
done it. Why then should not the
help itself out of the pitfall
We are not the advocate of high
taxes, but this case is one of life
and death. If we can discharge a
a debt OF $4,000 in two years by a
levy of $4,000, we should do it. If
on the other hand, we pay the
annual interest of $3.50, We will
have paid in less than eight years a
u sum in cxccss of the compromise,
and still have the principal, SIS, 900,
and accruing interest of S., $50 per
on our hands to pay.

Enterprise Courier: On Tuesday
night OF last week, the residence OF
Mr.. sgd. l.. Carter WAS entered by a
burglar Just few minutes after the
family had retired The intense
darkness caused him to run against
a bed, and he was thus detected
but before Mr.. Carter could reach
his pistol, the scoundrel had made
his escape. Our citizens should be
constantly on the lookout. In these
very dark nights, the best protec-
ton, probably, is to keep Il light

Water Valley Courier: \ short
time since, Mr.. w. A. Oates, rcsid-
ing near this place, employed man
to labor for him on his place, whom
he supposed was one of tho COM
mon trampers with which the conn
try is filled. The fellow worked on
toIcrably faithful until Thursday
night of last week, when he ran off,
takin" with him the best horse on
the place, a doublc-barreled shot
gun, and some other articles. IIc
went in a northeasterly direction,
and ut this writing is still ut large.
The scamp no doubt belonged to q

this plan of operation for the pur-
pose of throwing Mr.. Oates off his
guard.
The Vickshurg Times says
that on last Sunday night, the 9Th

Mr. John Emanuel were chlOro-
formed while sleeping in the store
of MIR. Reynolds by burglars, who
entered the house by means of 81
crow har. The store was ransacked
and money to the amount of s130
secured before the gentlemen were
awakened. Mr.. Emanuel was the
last one TO wake, and was very
much exhausted from the effects of
the chlOrOform. A physician was
summoned, who succeeded in plac-
ing him out of danger. There is no
doubt that the burglary was the
work of professionals. No clue
has yet been had AS to who the
guilty parties are.

Civil Rights in the North. Billiard
Saloons not Places of Public Amuse-
ment.

TRENTON, n. J. March 25.-A week
ago the proprietor of the Trenton
House refused two cOlored mon
the privilege of playing billiards at
his saloon, which is attached to the
hotel. Tho colorcd men made COM
plant under the Civil Rights bill,
and the proprietor, Mr.. Ka,zcnbach,
was arrested, and the hearing of
the case came off to-day befure Unit
ed States Commissioner, +. Mercer
Shreve. The decision, which was
an elaborate one, dismissed tho COM
plant as not coming within tho law.
Tho Commissioner says: 1t is true
the public may visit a billiard sa-
loon, 80 they may 60 to q store, but
every one cannot play there ~ ev
cry one cannot buy In certain stores.
The storekeeper may suit his Gus
toners. Every place which is ac-
ccssiblc to all is not neccssai ily q
place of public amusement. To say
that everybody can go to billiard
saloon does not determine its char
acteI, nor does the fact that a IL

public amusement. A license is TAX
en- out for q peddler's wagon, but it
does not thereby become a place Of
public amusement. There is moth
ing in the license idea by which VIC
can determine the true nature Of
the place. A licensed place may
still be so regulated as practically
to exclude the public. 1t is asked,
what is billiard saloon if it is not q
place of amusement? l answer at
best and only in limited sense, or
in a qualified manner, can it be call
ed place of public amusement. 1t is
the private business OF a private
party, conducted AS it suits the keep
CT. 1t lis no more place of public
amusement than a drinking saloon
Evident into the latter no man
has a right to go and take drink
without leave ofthe proprietor. The
applicant may lie refused and driv-
en- away for reasons best known
to the owner, and which he is not
bound to disclose The Civil Rights
bill has nothing to do and was in
tended to have nothing to do with
such places.

We heard Il gentleman say the
other day that he bought some hay
and corn from a merchant in town,
thinking that it was the property of
the merchant, but he afterwards
found ont that it WAS that of J. II.
Boyd. Now, it is our opinion that
Bovd is one of those men who
should never receive the patronage
OF our people. We have to sup
port him as an officer unwillingly,
but we think it altogether improper
to assist him willingly. And so
this gentleman thought, and he Ic-
marked that had he known it at
the time he made the purchase he
would have seen Boyd in a place
where there is no ice, before he
would have bought n grain of corn
from him. The sooner we begin

robbers and warrant and corn job
bcrs, the better it will be for us.
