CarrolltOn and Blood.

The brutal massacre OF seventeen
colored men in Csrrollton. Mississippi.
bv white democrats is not to be ignored
nor easily forgotten, though 1t causes far
less notice and indignation throughout the
nation than it Justly deserves. The muir
dered people were the victims of the same
malignitv and barbarous hate which have
caused the death of SO many thousands OF
oolored Americans the past twenty years
and enabled the democrats of the South
to hold the control of several States.
These people, in the exercise of their
legal rights, were in the Carrollton Court
House. They had given no provocation
to their murder. This savage outrage on
inotfensive people. this bloody violence on
the rights of American citizens. if it had
been committed by Spain, England. or
Germany, would arouse the nation to
stern sense of justice, and our Government
would be forced by public opinion to take
vigorous action at once. Yet. because
such outrages have proved effective and
necessary to the supremacy of the demo
cratic party South, mugwump news
papers are dumb. or seek to minimize
the enormties on colored citizens, and
democratic congressman apologize fol
the atrocities, or brazenly deny them al
together
Another class of persons thoughtlessly
or ignorantly do their share to mislead
the public mind and to benumb the public
conscience respecting these murders arc
massacres. They are the good natured
and unsuspecting travellers from the North

/ VICTORY FOR THE WET SIDE

The battle for open bar-rooms
against clubs aud local option, which
81 been the absorbing interest of our
0eoOIe for weeks past, was brought
ps close to-day. Both sides have
Vaged an active campaign, and we
regret to say, much bitterness of feel
iDg bas been cngendered in the can
yss
Meetings were held last night by
The friends OF Local Option in the
First NJ L. Church, and at the Rink.
At which place stirring addresses aud
,ppesls we're made to the people by
he speakers to stand firm by their
convictions and vote down one OF the
greatest evils that ever cursed q COM
nunity To offset this, the anti
local optionists or liquor men paraded
lhe streets last night with a band of
music followed by large number OF
coored and whites some of whom car
rled transpareneies with the following
Inscriptions: "More Beer ~ More
Whiskey |" Give US Back the SUM-
diy Law &C. The excitement was
kept up until late hour. The battle
vas renewed this morning aud long
before the polls opened groups of men
could be seen on every street corner
discussing the question and as much
interest was manifested as at any
political contest upon which devolved
lbe success ofthe party.
The church bells, the sermons, the
prayers Of The temperance people and
the presence OF the ladies' at the polls
tailed to turn the scales in favor of
continuance Of the law. All the float
lng vote of the city was turned into
tie urns Of decision in favor of license.
Votes went cheap, the report being
that they we're down as low as dol
hr piece. The colored ministers
alled to bold the colored vote for
local option, though the larger part
o. the better element of colored peo-
PIE voted against license. A MAORI
EOi The white people were also for
llceOse. The indication is that the
low license party will carry every
ward Of the city.
W to 3 o'clock the vote polIed in
loe nrSt ward was 37l; second ward,
SVfi tOlrd ward, 34S--making a total
