R,,r,ap. NC. October 3.-There is a
pretty row among the black and white
Republicans regarding tho naming Of
James II. Young (colored), Of Hen

OF Wilmington. It was known a fort
night ago by the Republicans here
that this appointment was put in the gift
of the negro Congressman Cheatham, Of
whom Young is an ardent supporter. The
white and black Republicans OF Whining
ton are indignant. and say resident of
that place must be appointed. IL appears
that every white Republican OF whining
ton thought he ought to have the place
and was an applicant for IL, ana con-
sequently there was no UNITY OF ehorI 10
secure it for snv particular person.
IT SHOULD BE A NEGRO.
The Republicans in other parts Of the
State understood that the next important
position which might become vacant was
TO be filed by a negro, this being with
view TO the pacifcation OF the dlssatlshed
negroes who have complained 80 pitterly
that they are ignored by the white Repub-
licans. Cheatham has taken every step to
be certain that Young got the place To-
day delegation of Wilmington Republl-
cans. white and colored, went to Washing
ton to protest against Young's appoint
ment.

TO-DAY Last Monday night Creech went
to the house of a neighbor who is seventy

John NJ. Langston is an educated negro,
with big ideas of his own importance and
unbounded political ambition. He is of
course q Republican, and two years ago
was a candidate for Congress from the
Petersburg district, and was defeated by
Hon. T.. g. Venable by nearly 800 majority.
A Republican majority turned up in the
House of Representatives. however. and
Langston at once instituted contest for
Yenable's seat. Upon what grounds. except
that he was negro, has not yet been fully
developed. The matter was referred 70 q
committee, who held it under considera-
ton until last week, when TO oonciliate
the negro vote in other sections OF the
country the committee reported Ia favor
OF unseating Venable and giving the place
to Langston. The report of the commit
tee YVES agreed to, and amid the most vul-
gar outburst of applause from the Repub-
Ecan side of the House and the negroes in
the galleries the Fourth district was robbed
Of its legally chosen representative and
Laugston sworn in.
The night following this outrage 1000
aud more negroes, with torches and bands
OF music, visited Langstop's home in Wash
ingtop, and gave him the benefit of sere-

pie who had elected him to Congress, and
the possession of about $15, 900, in the way
