order. lncited by the crew. at vessels In
port, they attacked the house # one OF
the leading citizens and fired it. This
NAs the signal for general revolt, which
WAS soon quelled by the white citizens
and British troops. In this eight or ten
white persons were killed, and as many
negroes. The loss of life in proportion
to the number of inhabitants. would
equal the loss Of 5000 lives to-day.
In 1871, the citizens whe lived in con-
slant apprehension of similar outbreaks,
became greatly alarmed in consequence
Of fires, which were Of frequent occur
renee. The negroes were suspected of
incendiarism. In consequence Of this.
the whites determined upon the execu-
tion of every suspected negro. Some of
these were hung, and others were burned.
The prosecutions of the poor creatures
was continued through six months (from
March to August until 100 persons, in-
Guiding negroes and several white men,
who sympathized with them, persisted.
The next riot was that known in the
history of the times as the "Stamp Act
Riot" and is sometimes referred to as the
first legitimate rebellion Of our country
against the British Government. In an
ticipation of the arrival of the stamps.
sailors came from their ships and farmers
from their homes, who committed depre-
dations upon the property Of the British
Colonial Governor, and other officers 10
command. The repeal of the Stamp Act
aud the appointment of Sir Henry Moore
as Governor, in place of the obnoxious
Gov. Golden, finally restored order.
The fourth riot on the list is the "Hos-
pitsl riot" of 1888. The medical students
had been indiscreet in pursuit Of subjects
for dissection; the graves of many re-
spectacle persons had been robbed and
certain excuses had been committed,
which exasperated the people. While the
current of indignation was running high,
a student one day showed from a window
au amputated arm to crowd of boys.
One of them climbed up to get a nearer
view, when the student told him this was
the arm of his mother. 1t happened that
the boys mother had died but short
time before, and the boy immediately
ran with the story to his father, who was
a stone mason. The grave was sought;
the body was gone; furious crowd col
lected; the hospital was ransscked, and
the students barely escaped with their
lives by being confined in Jail. The at
tempts to break in here and lynch the
students was prevented by the presence
of the military, who fired into the crowd,
killing some and wounding others.
Tho year 1884 is memorable for the
ELECTION Riots" which occurred at that
time. The occasion was the election of
a Mayor, and the issue was between the
jackson Democrats on one side, and the
Wings and Independent Democrats on
the other. The war was inaugura.ei by
q gang of Jackson shoulder hitters,'
who broke into the committee room Of
the opposite party; tore down their ban
ucss; destroyed their ballots; and nearly
killed some fifteen or twenty Of them.
