THE C0LORRD PEOPLE AT SARDIs
Last EKEDAX.


A gentleman who has long been a resident
of Sardis has placed before us indubitable evil
dence that the information upon which news
article in the APPEAL of Sunday was based,
was in part, if not wholly, erroneous. Our friend
assures US that, in asking for this correction
at cur hands, he and those with whom he
was acting were actuated solely By desire
to place the colored people right before the
world, and TO relieve them from what he
feared would mislead many as to their gen
eraI spirit and purpose, and the character for
obedience to law which has characterized
-sttem ever since their emancipation from car
petbag thraldrom. 1t was not the intention
Of the APPEAL to misreprl sent the colored
people Of Sardis, or to make 1t appear that
anything Ike disorderly or unruly spirit has
possession Of them. We were misled by our
informant, who doubtless gave to our report
er special for general expressions Of opinion,
and by his manner, as well as speech,
left IN impression of noisy hilarity upon a
-solemn occasion and of disappointment at
the non-ful6llment of q contract by
the State to hang one of their color at a
stated time. But this was not the case. All
classes of the white people of Sardis are a
unit in support of the statement that the
colored people generally behaved themselves
on Friday with decorum and discretion
unusual in so large gathering, and that so
far from indulginR in remarks unfavorable to
the condemned, all the more intelligent OF
them were and are DESTROYS of his sentence
being committed, believing, as do most OF
the whites, that he does not merit death, be-
cause his provocations to the crime were un-
usually cruel, wanton and vindictive, and
that delivered by bully who had long been
ihe terror OF the country, they are a
mitigation Of the offense, which it is hoped
Governor Stone will commute to short term
of imprisonment. We are glad that the
facts are as our friend states them. There
can be no more unseemly sight than that OF
a large gathering of persons, of whatever
race or color, brought together to wit
ness the pains and penalties of death.
Conducting themselves ever so quietly, it is
a painful sight and is anything but creditable
TO our civilization md country, but when to
that there ia added disorder, noise, confu-
sion, rude calls, curses and expressions OF I'M
patience for the death even of the criminal
we have a state of things sufficiently gross to
make even brutes blush. We are glad that
this cannot be said of the Sardis negroes.
they were there to see their fellow-darky
die, but they were not sorry, but rather glad,
that he was respited, and will be more SO II
ehe escapes, as we hope he will. Governor
stone cannot do better than consent to the
nrayer of all the intelligent white and black
reople of Sardis and commute the punish
,nent of Napoleon Bonaparte to imprison-
lnent.

penters and masons-by painters and brick
layers. He might, and maybe he did, look
out of his window and see people who were
hunting for him on cold trails passing below
him in the street. IF my assurance is worth

Conservation OF Episcopal Bishop Of
HEsXiOn.

PITTsBURG, June 23.-The conservation of
Rev. Henry Cnauncey Riley as bishop of
Mexico, which takes place in Trinity church
tomorrow, may be regarded as a notable
event in the history of the Episcopal church
10 America, inasmuch as it will be the ex-
tension of this denomination into hitherto
of the natives, who, born Catholics, have
been converted to Professionalism. The serv-
ices, which commence at ten o'clock, will be
of a very impressive character. Rt. Rev. DR..
Coke, bishop of western New York, will
preach the sermon, and Rt. Rev. Alfred Lee,
bishop of Delaware, will preside. Fourteen
bishops, and other well-known dignitaries Of
the church. will be present. 1t is understood
that Rev. Dr.. Riley expressed wish to have
the ceremony take place in PIttsburg, in
recognition of the fact that he received more
contributions to his work in Mexico from this
than from any other diocese.

port what additional police are required to
insure full protection to all persons in the ex-
