THE coLoRED BAPTIST CHURCH TROUBLES.
Tho respectable portion Of the colored

among the congregation of tho Third Bap-

erson has for years been the pastor and
sentiment among them II calling Tor
halt in the riotous proceedings and
removal if possible. of the stain that has
been brought upon the character OF the
race and of the doubt created as TO their
capacity for self-gOyernment even IN
minor matters. u IS probable that the
penalties recently imposed by tho Mayor
on the parties charged with rlotous con-
duct will have very salutary effect II
public opinion does not.
