Two Ugly Collisions Betwcen Whites and
Blacks In Georgia Towns.

Two Ugly collisions Bctwceu Whites and
Blacks In Georgia Towns.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 2S.--Two ugly race
collisions took place in this State to-day.
The first was in Lawrencevilc, the county
seat of Gwinnett County. Clarence Holmes,
young colored man, was cursing white
boy. Bob Camp, a white man, intcrfered
and Knocked the negro down. This led to
general clash among about three
hundred whites and blacks who
were ON the streets. The negroes
enlisted in behalf of Holmes, and tho
whites stood by Camp. Men were knocked
down. beaten and stabbed indiscrimnate-
ly. Five men were carried to their homes
on stretchcrs. being Robert Smith, ELI
johnson, A. N. Robinson, Welham Neal
and Clarence Holmes. Smith will die.
Carrollton was the scene of the other dis
turbancc. Yesterday a peddler reached
town, and introduced himself as white,
though he was somewhat dark COM
plexioned. To-day it was discovered
he was negro. The whites caught
him and were about to lynch him
when cooler counscls prevailed, and be
was given two minutes in which to run out
of gunshot range. He ran as If in a run
ming match. The negroes took this up, and
have been making threatening demonstra-
tions all day. This evening about fifty
young white men organized and put tho
blacks to rout. There is some fear that
the blacks may return tonight.

CHANDLER'S PLAN.
The New Hampshire Senator HOIsts the
Sangulne Garment.

The Now Hampshire Senator HoIsts the
Sangulne Garment.
On the alleged ground that Xepub-
lican votes are suppressed in those
States, Senator Chandler has intro
duced a bill to regulate the holding of
Congressional elections in South Caro-
lima. Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The bill provides for the appointment
by the President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate, OF four supervis-
ors of elections for each Congressional
district IN the States to which the
measure applies, who are required to
sub-divide the districts into a sufficient
number of voting precincts. In each
precinct the Circuit Court of the United
States is to appoint four inspectors
and two poll clerks. who are to make
regis tration of the voters and con-
duct Congressional elections. The
supervisors are to act as a canvass
ing board to receive the returns from
the inspectors and ascertain and de-
clare the result of the election. The
supervisors. inspectors and poll clerks
are to be divided equally between the
two principal political parties. AL
though Mr.. Chandler declares this
measure to be in harmony with the
constitution, the circumstance that it
is special and not general in its scope
suggests the contrary. But be it con-
stitutional or otherwise, it will not
pass, and Chandler does not expect it
to pass. 1t is introduced for the sole
purpose of creating discussion and
enabling the Republican Senators to
make speeches which can be used by
Republican stump orators in the Presi-
dental campaign. This is its aim and
object, and it is entirely worthy of its
author. for Chandler is nothing II not
partisan demagogue. But his
scheme will hardly avail his party.
The American people are tired Of Sec
tional issues, and If the Republicans
would win they must march another
banner than the bloody shirt. Dubuque
