From n DanviiIe Negro.

A colored man of education and good judg-
ment thus writes to the Richmond Star un-
der date of Nov. II:
Yours Just to hand. must say first in re-
ply, that we are glad of tho sympathy ex-
pressed on the part of our many friends for
the troubles which Danville has recently un-
dergone. At present everything seems to be
quiet. But to refer to tho riot is almost
enough to bring tears in my eyes. The riot
was as follows: On the third instant white
street they were parted aud arrested by one
of our colored policeman; and it being Sat-
turday evening you know how many of our
rushed up to see what was being done; then
the whites came out and fired into the crowd,
killing three dead, whose blood on the streets
cry for revenge, and wounding large num-
ber In all. 1 helped 20 shrowd one who
died yesterday morning He was shot in
the abdomen. 1t seems to have been q con-
cocted plan. The colored men were unarmed
and made no resistance at all,
never spent such a season in all my life.
My own life is said to have been threatened
for several days and nights; was afraid to
sleep in my bed. The scene of the bloodshed
will never be described in this world-the re-
cordng angel of the other will have true
and just account of it.
did not go in gunshot of the polls on cleo
tion day, although things seemed to be quiet
but | knew that blood was boiling in the
veins of both sides, and that the least insult
would lead to more bloodshed.
am now advising my people to be q uiet
and wait Gods time whom he shall plead oul
cause. Pray for us.

Gambling in New Orleans.

Here the gambling houses are licensed, On
Royal street, within a stretch of two blocks eigh-
teen keno. faro, or other games OF chance flourish
The police protect them. The proprietors pay
500 month for official toler alton. The gamblers
are not only recognized, but they are patroniz5d
by the police who do not hesitate to play keno
Spanish monte, and other games while wearing
uniform and being supposedly on duty. On Sun
day afternoon, on the corner Of Customhouse and
franklin Streets 1t is common thing see police
men playing Spanish monte with negroes and the
lowest class of whites. On Canal street, n few
blocks from the station Of the Louisville and Nash
Vile railway, monte houses run day and night
At 2o'clock in the morni ng the writer has seen q
member Of the New Orleans police dealing the
game TO room crowded with colored roustabouts
The officer was on duty at the time. He has pro.
prietary interest in the game, and his profits from
this disgraceful connection are very large.

The interview published elsewhere with n
distinguished Parisian journalist is interest
ing as afIording an insight to tho Fronch way
of looking at the threatening eastern crisis,
There is pretty good evidence, however, that
the views expressed as to tho non.combativo-
ness of the Chinese arc not well grounded,
for, while John may not be spelling for fight,
there are not wanting good indications that
he is not going to do much to avoid one, As
to the part Russia or Japan would play in it,
it is safe to say the chances are oven that they
would bo as likely to act in alliance with
China as with France.

In commenting on Judge BlacIwelPs tosti-
mony before the committee investigating the
Danville butchery, tho Philadelphia Press
says:
If this does not directly confirm Gen. Mahone's
statement that for days the poor victims were
found dead in alleys, in warehouses, and under
barns, it lend' strong probability it. The demo
cratic committee reported u few negroes left dead
or wounded on the scene of the aflray, but the
number who were mortally wounded by the vol
ley fired at the retreating negroes, without at
once falling in their tracks, must have been con-
siderable. No amount of whitewash or eXplana-
ton can mako the Danville aiiray anything else
than an unprOyoked Dutchery by whites OF unof'
Tending negroes.

To our apprehension the DanvllIe riot probably
decided the result in the Virginia election yester
day. The resolutions so promptly passed by q
Richmond meeting passed for trump card.
When the white man gets up In anger the black
man inevitably stands farther. 1t is law of the
nature of the two races. 1t may be safely stated
that under thislaw of the nature of the two races
the black man stood considerably farther in Vir-
ginia yesterday-far enough to be out Of the way
of winning the election at the polls yesterday.
Blood is thicker than water, and especially white
blood when aroused as Virginia blood has been

THE DARK CONTINENT.
Bishop Payne's Lecture on the Influence
ut Work in Africa.

Mt Work I'm Africa.
Bishop ID. A. Payne, of the A. M. e. church,
lectured before the Union Bethel Literary
association last evening at its hall, on NJ,
near Sixteenth street northwest upon the
influences at work in the redemption and
civilization of the continent of Africa.
Every nook and corner of tho hall was
filled with an intelligent looking audience
when the reverend speaker commenced his
address.
After some historical reflections Bishop
Payne gave an interesting account of the
missionary labors for tho enlightenment of
the now dark continent, illustrating his re-
marks by explanations with the aid Of three
large maps. He showed that since the first
missionary settlements at Senegal, upon the
northwestern coast, and Sierra Leone rapid
strides toward the conquest of the interior of
this terra incognita" had been made by the
English and American missions advancing
from the west by way of the Congo, the south
from the cape colonies, the east from Zanzi-
bar to Victoria Nyanza, and the north by way
OF Egypt. The progress of the latter mis-
sions is due entirely to the efforts of the
United Presbyterians of the United States.
The lecture was warmly applauded at its
close.

There came near being dead doctor at Mont

cars in the depot yard there young man named
Morgan, got one of his fingers mashed. DIR. Hover,
the local physician administered chloroform TO
the sufferer, preparatory to operating on him. He
then cut Off the injured finger, but failed to leave
any skin to cover the exposed oone of the finger,
and cut the flesh and bone off even. The young
man died from the effects of the chloroform, but
the surgeon did not notice this and kept carving
the lifeless body until ordered to desist. When
the facts became known several infuriated citi-
zens threatened him with personal violence and
