WAR In AFRICA.

Were words as pow erful as deeds
the custom-housc would have been the
scene Of an interesting little shooting
scrape yesterday.
Since the Republican advent the
corridors of the building have been
made the resort of innumerable black
men, loating in anticipation Of soft
government jobs. These crowd the
ais'es and incommode persons having
bisiness In the custom-house, besides
being a serious mar to tho beauty and
symetry of the building.
Quite often disputes hayo arisen be-
tween these, but yesterday was the
first time that anything serious oc-
Cured. IL seems that an organization
known as the Louisiana Republican
League exists here of which Mr.. Her.
man Hercules Blunt, colored, is presi-
dent. On the 4th of next month the
National Republican League will meet
at Nashville and each of the Congress
sional Districts of this State will be
represented by two delegates. All
these delegates have to get the creden-
tials from the State League. Now Mr..
Daniel Macon, colored, deeming il
would be for his country's good, and
also his own, to attend the National
League meeting, had himself made n
delegate. Last Sunday the Hon. Mr..
Blunt printed list of these delegates
in daily paper and omitted Hon. Mr.
Macon's name, and the latter was made.
angry. Yesterday shortly before noon
Blunt had conference in the internal
revenue Office with Captain Wimberly
Macon came in and spoke angrily to
Blunt. Captain Wimberly informed
them that If they wished to quarrel
they must leave his Office and they did,
but they stopped in the corridor be-
tween his office and that of the sub
treasurer. Theic Macon again de.
manded his credential as a delegate
and words ensued for long time. AT
length one called the other thief and
in return was called = lying thief
Then Mason, who is quite big mau
thumped Blunt and kicked him
Blunt got his hand to his hip pocket
and drew his pistol but did not use 1t
owing to interference by an employe
of the building.
And as Mr., Blunt was separated
from Mr.. Macon, he remarked: "What
way you agoingp
Macon answered: "I'se agoing dis
way.'
And Blunt in parting retaliatcd
with: "Well, Use agoing de oder way
You'se dangerous man, you is, sah."
Neither of the parties was arrested

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
EDITOR TIMES :

EDITOR TINES:
In tho TIMES Of February 22nd you
mentioned the names of q number of
citizens Of Washington county who
had bcen spoken of as suitable persens
to represent this county in the Consti-
tutional Convention and requested
these gentlemen to give public utter
ance to their views on this grave ques-
tion. 1t was exceedingly gratifying
to me to see my name mentioned as a
competent person for a delegate to
that important and hope able body
of men, aud Is . compliment which |
shall always highly appreciate; but |
feel that the great problems coming
before the Convention demand the as
semblsge of the trained minds of the
State, the experienced, conservative
and liberal men Of Mississippi, and my
inexperience aud youth debar me
from thinking of offering for this i'm
portant trust, or of accepting the dis
tinguished honor of being delegate
from the banner county even if the
position should be rendered me. Per.
sonal friendships and prejudices should
be laid aside for the public veal, and
each citizen Of the county owes it to
himself, family and State to do all in
his power to aid in selecting the very
best men for delegates to the Conven
ton. Each district in the county
ought TO eliminate all local feeling ant
. join in with the other districts to elec
the most efficient, able and worthy cit
! izens for this great trust though the,
i might all hail from the same Superyi
sor's District. Individually, | was op
posed to Constitutional Convention
! | was apprehensive that there nigh
be some conflict in the wants of tn
different sections of the State, but a
the Convention has been called wi
0 gladly do all can In an humble wa
Q to aid IN clecting proper men to go t
the Convention, and meu who wi
: exert themselves to get all the goo
v that can be gotten out of

8 labors will result in much good to tn
e best interest of Mississippi, If the hur
# dred and -thirty-four delegates wb
l. will constitute that body prove to b
c able to weigh well and solve the m,
is mentous questions coming befor
them. | heartily endorse the change
in the present Constitution suggeste

The New Pastor.

Rev. L. E. King, the newly installed
pastor of the First Baptist church, re-
Gently of Grccnville, Miss, preached
his first sermon In this church ycster-
day morning to very large congrega-
ton. Every seat was taken and the
audience was in full sympathy with
the reverend gentleman, who after a
few predatory remarks, delivered a
powerful sermon, and this sympathy
grew as the sermon advanced. After
service nearly all the members remain
cd to become acquainted with their
pastor, and II is needless to say, he
created very favorable impression on
all.-san Antonio Light.
