NEGROES IN NORTH CAROLINA.
How They are Oppres.ea and NAL.
treated by Democratic Or9anixa-

treated BY Democratic Organise
tiOmSs
A Washington dispatch says that the
Democrats seem determined not to allow
Republican witnesses to get summoned
before the exodus committee, but on
Wednesday they caught Tartar in one
of their own witnesses, Badger, son of
ex-senator Badger, of North Carolina.
He was summoned by the Democrats
and is opposed to the exodus. During
his examination he made some remarks
as to the Ku-Klux outrages in North
him % very closely on chat subject. The
witness said that the negroes did not
have equal justice in the courts, and that
they were disseminated against. When
asked about the Ku-Klux outrages, he
said that he was appointed by the gov
eminent few years ago to investigate
them. and he knew all about them. He
said there were hundreds of cases
of whipping, shooting and MUIR
ders Of every kind. The wit
ness further said that there were three
organizations in the state,-the White
Brotherhood, the Constitutional Union
Guard, and the Invisible Empire: One
was political, to carry the state for the
Democrats; another had for its object to
reinstate the Confederacy-to restore the
lost cause: and the third was one which
was organized for the purpose OF COM
mittinr murder. The first two were not
danoerous. he said, but the last was. Ii
a negro. as he expressed it, "got too
h;o for his breaches" or a Republican
was too active, this order would decree
his death in the county where he lived,
and would then send to some other
county. to a like organization. who
vouli furnish the executioner to COM
m;t the murder. As to the discrimina-
ton in the courts, the witness said that
if negroes were arrested for larceny they
were always convicted much more Ger
tainly than a white man. In order to
make himself more plainly under
food on this pont he gave the
following illustration: A colored wo-
man was at work in q barn husking
corn. She was singing, and making q
Onod deal of noise. The white man IN
charoe of the farm came along and told
her fo make less noise and she would get
ALONG faster with her work. She an
swered back rather imprudently for
negro. The man then replied with In
suftine language, and the woman retort'
ed in the same manner. Thereupon ht
seized bludgeon and beat her over thu
shonlder with it until the stick dropped
from his hands. He then took his pis
tol and hammered over the head with it
the woman all the time defending hersel
a. best she could by scratching hum
They were both arrested. and the ooloret
woman was convicted and the white ma,
acquitted. When questioned az to tn
elections in North Carolina, Badger san
thst the colored men were swindled on
Of their votes. For instance, he sai'
that when Vance was elected he 60
27, 900 more votes than there were Demo
Gratis in the state.

The roof gave way suddenly near the centre
near where they were standing, and with

descended to the ground, and the attempt to
fight the fire from the roofs was abandoned.
