ate difficulty occurred in this place. on
last Monday evening, between Frank
and Claud Shipe. sons Of A. Shipe, Esq,
Of Baltimore. and Charley Biedler.
formerly Of this county put now a sales
man in the wholesale boot and shoe
house of Patterson s. Bash, Baltimore.
All the parties are III the habit Of SPEND
ing their summers in this county, hay
ing country residences within a few
miles Of town. II seems that between
Mr.. B;edler and the Shlpe boys there
had been a misunderstanding for some
time. On Monday evening they met in
Luray and after some words an alterca-
ton ensued in which after the passage
Of blows on both sides Mr.. Biedler was
shot, the bullet striking button on his
pants and producing confused wound
on the side Of the abdomen. The shoot
ing is alleged to have been done by
Frank Shipe, who with his brother was
arrested and carried before Justices
Grove and Berrey who sent him Oh to
the county court for trial. In the case
of Claude Shipe the examination was
waived. Bail was refused in both cases.
Mr.. d. although suffering fom his
wound is not thought to be seriously
hurt.-Page Courier.

States are too poor to build prisons large
enough to hold al the negroes guilty Of

1t may well be doubted, as | said before,
if, on the whole, the negroes are making
any substantial progress. They are in the
best condition in sections where the
whites, predominate, while IN regions
where the black population IS proportion

way of living they are essentially barhar-

grotesque experiment ever tired on the

of their getting forward in the path Of
civilization, with anything Ike rapidity,
lies in the prospect that the tide Of e,ni-

THE SOUTHERN BLACKS.
NEGRO CIVILIZATION RETRoGRADING.


Northern people who Judge Of the negro
race by the few specimens OF intelligent
colored BARRIERS and waters they see at
home, always have their theories as to the
condition and capabilities of the race sud
denly unsettled when they study the pure
African types of the plantations, ignorant,
ragged, dirty blacks, with countenances
SO brutal as to be repulsive, and persons
and clothing SO disgusting and odiously
uncIean that their presence is unsupport-
able However enthusiastically one may
favor the principle of equal civil rights,
he does not want to ride IN railway car
with such creatures as these. Fortunate
", he is not obliged to, for they 60 into
the car provided for them of their own
accord, and seem to have no desire for the
company of the whites. Occasionally d
respectfully dressed colored man or wo-
man rides IN the same car with the white
passengers, no one Objecting. Color pre-
judice appears TO be slowly giving way,
but the prejudice against close association
with such dirty, bad-smelling people as
are the majority of the plantation negroes
may be expected TO continue for all time.
The whites at the South say that all
negroes viii steal. but this is an extrava-
CANT generalization, for every white man
or woman who repeats this common say
ing viii, if questioned, admit to having
known colored people who were scrupu-
lously honest Nevertheless, II cannot be
denied that the blacks as "a class are much
more given 10 stealing than the poor ignoF-
ant whites. Southern prisons and peni-
tentiaries are full of negroes, and in more
than one Southern State there Is a seri-
ous agitation IN favor OF reviving the
whipping post as punishment for theft,
TO relieve the community from the heavy
burden of supporting SO many prisoners
| have found convincing evidence that the
heavy preponderance OF blacks over whites
IN county jails and state prisons is not
the result OF any unfairness ON the part of
Judges and juries in the trial Of the former.
In addition TO proofs of this gwen III
former letters, | may cite the Mississippi
state prison, which, under republican ad-
ministraiion, had on Its rolls about one
thousand convicts, only one-tenth Of
whoEa were whites, and now has about
two thousand (eifeet Of improved admins
tration OF justice1, but shows no change
IN the proportion OF blacks 10 whites, ten
10 one being still the ratio. In most of
the slaves States large number, not all,
OF the convicts are hired out TO contrac-
tors for work on the railroads, levees and
plantations The system IS not good
