CHARLOTTE, N. O., Feb. ga terrible
tragedy occurred just across the Virginia
line, about thirty miles from Sparta, N.
&C., last Sunday, the particulars Of which
reached Charlotte tonight. The scene
Of the tragedy was in Baptist Church,

Killed-Thomas Coleman, Jeremiah
Ferguson.
The wounded are-Edward Clawson,
John Pleby, Robert Edwards
Sunday morning Mr.. Stoke was
preaching about the sins of men. He
used some very strong language in pictu
ring the unholy and wayward man, and
during the course of his remarks took oc.
casion to say that "There was q man in
his congregation who was 80 mean and
unfaithIul to bis wife that it was won
der God did not rain down fire and
birthstone upon his head and consume
him." The preacher pointed his finger
towards Thomas Coleman, who occupied
a seat near the pulpit, and as he did so
that individual jumped to. his feet and
inquired If the parson meant to be per:
sonal in his remarks. No sooner was
Coleman on his feet than half a dozen
fdeacons were up demanding that he sit
down. Everything was in an uproar aud
during the confusion Edward Ciawson
cried out to Coleman "Yes, be meant
you and you know it.
Then followed cries of "Put him out"
and several grabbed hold of him. Cole
man resisted bitterly, and aeizing stick
of wood lying near the stove he began to
WELD it hard and fast, knocking four men
to the floor and fatally wounding Jeremiah
Ferguson. One man becoming enraged
wreDched the club from Coleman and
dealt him a deadly blow across his head.
de then walked out of church and has
not been seen since. This ended the
trouble.
It is said that the riot lasted about six
minutes, during which the greatest con.
fusion imaginable prevailed. Women
screamed and ran out of the church, ana
there was not one in sight when order
had been restored.

His Fathers Dog Was Dead.

GREENv1LLE, s. c., February 4.-The
citizens of Woodruff, S. c., were startled
on Thursday night last by the tolling of
the Baptist Church bell, and upon inqui.
~ could not learn the cause of it. Vari-
ous rumors were set afoat as to why it
should be rnng, but no one could give
satisfactory reason, After hesitating
good while some one, with more nerve
than the others, entered the belfry, and
found young white boy, named James
Darwin, tolling sway as solemnly as the
sexton would for funeral. He was asked
why he was doing 30, and his reply WAS
"That his fathers dog had just died, and
he bad instructed him to 60 and toll the
bell to announce the sad news to the
citizens of the town."

The Yorkyille Eng quirer says thateince
the discussion. commenced on Senator
Buffers bill t'to provide for the emigra.
.tion Of tbs colorad people from the Uni
ted states,"' a causeless panic seems To
have seized number of the colored
people, who ars slow to make contracts
for the present year, or even to enter
upon work underany conditions, alleg-
ing as 3 reason that they will be
required to leave the country The
negro ought5to have learned by this time
that he lisa powerful lever by which
both great political parties endeavor to
lift themselves into power, and much
that is said in Tho national halls OF legis.
slation oncerning. the colored race is
done only for political effect. Republi-
can promises TO the negro are made only
TO catch his vote, and the TRADE of Sen
ator ingalls, in Congress a few days ago
was only for;the purpose Of inAaming the
Northern minds, which are quite suscep.
5tible Of such trash, and to cajole the col.
Iored people into the belief that the Re-
publican party Of the North are their
best friends, when they care nothing for
them except to be used as voting ma
chine esin The South to perpetuate Repub-
|slican rule. Senator Buffers billf does
not it com pulsory on any colored
man .tol leave his home the South.
Such 9 Law could not be passed even if
any one desired it. ALL that Senator
Butler proposes is that the United States
Government shall assist any colored per-
son or persons who may desire to emf
CRATE to- Africa. The bill is not q law,
nor is it likely to be. And even should
it become. a law, it cannot compel any
colored person to leave the United States.
With the Law enacted, the colored people
would be as safe in the enjoyment of their
rights Of. home and citizenship as the
whites. In sections where this erroneous
impression prevails among the colored
people, they should be instructed and
properly informed as to the true meaning
lsof Senator Buffers bill. -.

Some Negroes Want to 60.

B1RMINGHAM, February 6.-For sever.
| al days the negroes of Bessemer, Ala,
have been holding meetings and discuss
ing Senator Buffers bill. The meetings
have been largely attended by the best
and most Intelligent element of the col
ored people of the town. To day they
gave to the press the following address,
which will also be forwarded to the Sen.
ate and House of Representatives at
Washington:
"We, the negroes here, have been
holding meetings fayoring the separa.
tion of the races and the immigration of
colored people to the Congo Free State
in Africa, and ne hope that Senator
Buffers bill will pass Congress. We
want to 20 back to our Own country
where ne belong. We know that it will
be better for the colored people, and we
hope that twill benefit the white peo.
pie. We know that ne are a..great polit-
ical trouble here. We are sorry, but
cannot help it. Time has brought this
on US. Let knowledge now have her
way and knowledge says go, and we
will go ifthe Government will pass the
/: bill.
ssIn our meetings some have objected
that the Government will want its mon-
Sey back and take bonds on the State
that we would found, and it would take
,us seventy. five or hundred years to pay
;it. Other members say that this is not
the object of The bill, but there will be q
donation of money to the colonization
society"
Many negroes in this section are en-.
.thusiastic in their support of Buffers i'm.
