THE DlSGRACEFUl ANTi-CATHOLiC
RIOTS IN BELFAST.

A Sort of Religious Zeal with No Proper
Place in Civilization Continued Tur-
buIence in Which Thugs aud Thieves
Take a Hand-DweJtings and Stores
Looted.
BELFAST, June Il The fighting between
the Orange mob and the police Thursday
nj ht was probably the most desperate
since the commencement of the outbreak.
All night long the mob fought the police,
and the latter had hard work in several
conflicts with desperate rioters to
hold their ground but they
finally, in almost every instance, sue
ceeded in scattering the rioters The mob
for the most part consisted of the lowest
class of ruilians obtanable in the city. The
greatest damage was done in the vicinity of
the Shankhill and York roads. The rioters
fought in these places with the desperation
of madmen. Although the police charged
on them several times with fixed bayonets
the mob held its ground.
The mob finally rallied in force and
speedily beat back the police In retreat
ing as a last recort to disperse the mob the
police fired several volleys of buckshot into
its ranks, but, despite the fact that scores
OF its members fell, the mob pressed on and
completely routed the police The mob
then held possession of Bath road until 2;50
Friday morning, pillaging and wreckin g
houses and stores in most wanton way.
When they had tired of their efforts the
rioters dispersed. In opposing the police
the mob used stones weighing from fifteen
to twenty pounds, and numerous small
arms The tiends even attacked the fire
men, who had leen called to battle with the
flames, which were consuming several build
ings fired by the rioters They stoned the
fremen whenever they got within reach and
greatly retarded them in the work
of quenching the flames Dozens of eye
witnesses state that the mob was composed
of thieves and thugs who looted private
dwellings, stores, etc, and carried oil all
valuabes they could. Many of them could
be seen struggling oil in the darkness laden
down with bundles of all kinds composed OF
their i'll gott n gains. The Catholic resi-
dents are in state of terror bordering on
frenzy. They are afraid to venture abroad
even to purchase the neceSsaries of lifo.
Scores of Catholics were shot down Thurs
day evening by the blood thirst rioters Ten
were admitted to the hospital Friday for
treatment Comparative quiet reigned
Friday morning, but fears are entertained
that the rioting will he renewed during the
| funerals of the victims

Whitworth's New President.

The Board of Trustees at theil
meeting yesterday elected Prof L. T
Fitzhugh, of the University of Mis-.
sissippi, to the presidency of Whit
worth Female College. We con
graduate the friends of this popular
institution upon the eminently
proper selection made. Prof. Fitz
hugh is well known as a ripe
scholar, a successful educator, and
a most estimable christian gentle
man. Under his efficient contr oil the
public may rest assured that the
College will in future not only main
tain its past reputation, but that
every effort will be made to reach q
yet higher position among the
schools of our country. BY his
residence among us our community
will gain a spirited citizen,
and society the addition of an &C.
member. In behalf OF
our community we extend to Prof
cordial welcome.

The Saloons.

The liqnor saloons in this county
are each and all illegal. Not one
Of them has a vahi license under o
recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of the State. The records of
the proceedings under which the
pretended licenses were granted, no
where and in no manner show
that the parties upon whom the
privileges we're attempted to he
conferred are or were residents of the
county or town, and the Supreme
Court has said in its latest utter
ances on the subject that it is juris-
dictional and that uRless the resi-
deHce Of the applicant is shown of
record the grant of license is utterly
void. No doctoring of the record
can now he had without exposure.
OF course therefore every saloon in
Lincoln county can be at once closed
by injunction exactly as the saloons
at Magnolia were closed a few weeks
ago. But while this is so, many
Of our most pronounced Prohibition
lists think best to refrain from action
in the premises, so long as our sa-
loon men behave themselves decent
ly and in every particular conform
to the law applicable to licensed sa-
looms. Nothing could illustrate
more forcibly that the Prohibition
lists of this county desire to wrong
no man, even though they are but
enforcing the technical law. They
recognize the fact that orr saloon
men believed they had obtained Ii
censes, and raid their money under
such belief and they are willing to
shut their eyes TO the technical
question, prOrided the law is in no
particular violated in the future ;
and no saloon man IS seen drunk.
The saloon men of this county
well know that even their pretence
Of licenses were obtained against the
protest and wishes of large por-
ton of the moral elements of our
people, and were obtained by means
and influences bordering on the in
decent, but Notwithstanding all this,
and Notwithstanding an open
declaration of war was made by two
of the saloon men in their efforts to
obtain beer licenses, two days before
the election, they may be let alone.
In respect TO said beer licenses the
leading lawyers of the State are al
most unanimously of opinion that
the Local Option Law becomes
operative in a county when an cleo
ton is ordered and consequently no
licenses can be granted thereafter
except under its provisions. Mr..
Lncich and Mr.. Scobely can be and
will be at once enjoined if there is
any prctence Of operation under or
assertion of their pretended beer IL
censes.

Col. Stockdale Nominated for
Congress.

1t is source Of profound gratifi-
cation to his thousands of friends in
South Mississippi that Col. Thos. r,
Stockdale last week received the
Democratic nomination for Congress
in the 9Th district over his competi,
tor Hon. Fl. S. Van Eaton. The
first ballot stood Van Eaton,
IA 8 Stockdale, Is % ; Seal 4
The second ballot stood Van
Eaton Is 1888 Stockdale Is Is 33.
This fraction of a vote game him the
nomination, and the Chairman of
the Convention so ruled.
The result of this contest is only
another example of the fact that the
people may always be depended
upon to recognize true merit and
ability, and that they have an
inherent love of justice and fair play
which will assert itself. All manner
of fictitious and unjust issues were
raised against Col. Stockdale IN the
canvass by his opponents-his
Democracy assaulted and every sort
of subterfuge resorted to to compass
his defeat-but, true man as he was,
he rose superior to them all, and
himself and the people of the 9th
district are to be congratulated on
his victory.
