The Republican Craftsmanship

The Republican State Convention
has an important duty to perform in
the election of chairman of the
State committee.
The place demands an able, con-
scientious, unselfish and energetic
Republican
This journal has twice given its
hearty support to the present Chair
man DR.. Mosely.
But the party can not afford to re-
elect the Doctor now, for many sound
reasons.
1st, His alliance with the white
Leauge leaders was suicidal to the
party of which he was the trusted
leader.
End, His gerrymander of the state
as Chairman in an unblushing at
tempt to re elect himself, by tramp>
ling on the heretofore unquestioned
right of the people of the Districts to
select their own representatives and
committees, demonstrates his selfsh>
ness at the expense of the welfare of
the party and his unftness for the
place.
3rd, He is an ofice>holder and has
used his office to intimidate and BULL
doze Republicans to secure his reslec-
ton.
4th, He has held the place two
terms and third term is not advis-
able. 1.-two terms make him think
he owns the party, what will he do if
given that power a third time?
9th, There are other more deserv-
ing Republicans for the place, who
will not sacrifice the party for selfish
ends.
In short, the welfare Of the party
in this state demands that DR.. Nose.
ly be beaten for Chairman.
1t is the duty of the State Conven-
ton to elect in his place a worthy
trusty, efficient and able leader. We
have full confidence in the wisdom
and judgement Of the party to dc
this.

Our State Convention.

Thursday, April 2Sth, is the day
for the Republican State Convention
to meet in Montgomery.
That body will have many grave
and important duties to perform.
The Republicans of the state ex-
pect of their representatives in con-
vention assembled, cool deliberation
and wise action.
We think the GAZETTE voices the
almost unanimous sentiment of Re-
publicans when it says the conven
tion should formulate sound plat
form, nominate a clean fighting tick.
ct, select new chairman, endorse
the administration and send to Min
neapolis delegation in hearty accord
with it and for Republican success.

National Republican Commit
tee.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April IL
The subcommittee Of the National
Republican Committee has practi-
cally finished its labcrs here. The
matter of the distribution of tickets
has been settled to the satisfaction of
everybody. After sufficient nuns
ber had taken out for the delegates,
the alternates, their friends and for
the press, the remaining tickets were
turned over to the local committee
to dispose of as it sees fit. This will
place about 10000 tickets at the To-
cal committees disposal. These will
60 in large part to the contributors
to the guaranty fund. The tickets
will be good for three days.

An ANGRY CROWD
The Peril Of Negro Rapist
at jug Tavern.
A Little White Girl Was His
Victim.
The Whole Town Joined In the
Pursuit of the Negro and He
Was Caught Crouched in
a Muddy Swamp

JUG TAVERN, Ga, April %. crowd
of young men came into town in hot
pursuit Of a young negro named Will
Carithers, who had assaulted a little
daughter of J. c. Patrick, and had es-
capped and made his way here, presuma'
bly, to take the train. He was run close
ly. He took to swamp, where he was
caught crouching in the mud.
Every man in jug Tavern who could
get horse and gun or pistol joined in
the chase. He narrowly escaped lynch
ing by his captors. He was carried to
the district court ground, near the scene
Of the crime and had commitment
trial. He was taken in charge by Sher-
iff Collier and hurried toward Jefferson
to Jail One hundred armed and deter
mined men were at the court. The
opinion Is that he will not reach Jeffer-
son alive. A look of vengeance IS on
every face, but the cooler heads advised
no mob violence.
Mr. Patrick lives seven miles from
jug Tavern, in jackson county. his
11-year- old daughter was sleeping IN an
adjoining room when the brute entered
and awoke her in time for an alarm.
He had his hands on her when she
awoke.
No harm was done her. Mr.. Patrick
had the negro employed on the farm.
The negro admitted the charges. The
proof is certain.

TALLADEGA, April 1S.-The re-
publican beat meeting fpracint No.
5, Talladega, was held here to-day.
The colored republicans, heretofore
Moseleys strongest supporters. op>
posed him from the beginning, upon
which Moseley aud five members
bolted the convention and left all
harmonious with Bingham in posses
sion. There was only one fight, but
Bingham INDUCED in many exple-
tives in his conversation with the
brother-in black.
The following resolutions were un-
animously adopted:
Resolved, That we are unaltera-
bly, opposed to the administration of
DR.. r. A. Moseley as chairman of
the state executive committee for the
reason that he has favored and aided
the appointment of more democrats
to executive favor than colored re
publicans.
"2, We are unalterably opposed to
the star chamber proceedings as had
at Montgomery by the state execu~
tive committee. We censure DR..
Moseley's Winston county speeches.
This is the reception Dr. Moseley
received at his old home.
Your end is drawing nigh, Bob,
Your race is nearly run,
For the negro has got tired. Bob,
And the fun has now begun.

Alex Henry, colored, who recent
ly died in Knoxville Tenn, is said
to have been the wealthiest negro in
the state. Previous to the war Alex
Henry was slave, and after the
struggle lived with Jim Henry, of
Blount county, son of his former
owner. Jim took advantage of the
bankrupt law, turning over all his
property to Alex, and Alex, and
Alex took advantage of his former
masters's son, failing to give him a
return deed when demanded. Alex
was upheld by the courts. He sold
the property for $l5, 900 and went to
Knoxville. Since then he has, by
shrewd vestments, accumulated a
fortune of over 500, 600.

C. II. Lawrence, the lessee Oh the Mon
te Sano R'y at Huntsville, who was arrest
ed Wednesday on complaint of o. L. Hen
ry, former employe, upon charge OF
obtaining $500 from Henry by false pre-
lenses, compromised with Henry and re-
gained his liberty yesterday morning,and
even the police felt glad that nice, gen.
teel fellow like Lawrence had succeeded
IN. squaring himself.
Lawrence's lease of liberty was of but
short duration, for he had hardly gotten
away from the station house when anoth-
er complainant appeared and asked for q
warrant against him for obtaining money
under false pretenses- A few days ago
George Harsh, the treasurer Of the Grand
Opera House, cashed draft for Law
renee on bank at Huntsville. The draft
came back dishonored, and Lawrence
failed to refund the money he had gotten
on it, hence the arrest.
Lawrence was found on Main street by
Capt. Hackett and taken back to the sta
ton house where he was locked up. He
had not tried to get away after being re-
leased on the first charge, and still insists
that he will meet all claims against him.

1t is said that the White Leagurers
held convention at Madison Sta,
this week some time and named some
gentleman to 60 to Florence to rep
resent this county.
We have been unable to find any
one who ever heard OF the call or
knew anything about the secret

Is not this an outrage on the Re

no reward offered?
Some time ago Attorney>General

be offered for the arrest of the men
who broke into the Shelby county

in cold blood. So far the governor
has taken no notice of Mr.. Peters re-

Washington to memorialize the presi-
dent in regard to the outrages perpe-
trated upon the negroes of the south,
arrived at s o'clock. and were entertain
ed at breakfast by Frederick Douglass
and William E. Matthews.
The delegation was introduced to
President Harrison at 10 o'clock by the
Hon John r. Lynch, the fourth auditor
of the treasury.
DIR. William B. Derrick of New York
city, stated the purpose Of the delega-
tion to the president and presented res
olutions which were adopted at the re-
cent mass meeting at Cooper union.
In his reply President Harrison ex-
planned just how far he could exercise
his authority under the constitution,
stating very clearly the difference be-
tween state and Federal authority in
regard to crimes committed in any par
ticular state. The New Orleans lynch
ing matter was taken as an example.
Mr.. Harrison advised the delegation
to collect in detail facts concerning the
lynchings in the south for year and
present them to him and to the public
press, and said that upon these facts he
would assist as far as he could in Gre
ating public sentiment against the
lawless methods of punishment of col
ored men in the south,

Tabby Whipped an Alligator.
Erom AZ N. Lonis Glohe- nemocrnt

from me 81. LOUIS GLo0e- Democrat.
VERNON, FLA. April 3-One of the most
remarkable combats ever witnessed IN this
country occurred on Holmes river near
this place, last week. In the battle a cat
and an alligator fought for three hours,
with the final result in favor of the tabby
The aliigators have infested the river, and
IL is considered dangerous for any person or
animal to go near the bank. The saurlans
are not large, but appear to make up in ac-
uvity what they lack in size. A house cat
belonging to Mr.. Walton was in the habit
Of going to the river and feeding on mussels
and such fish as it could get, and 1t was no.
ticed several times that when the cat moved
along the bank ripple in the water showed
that en- alligator kept pace with it in the
water. The cat, however, was aware Of
the alligator's presence, but showed no signs
of fear.
On the day mentioned the cat approached
too near the water in its eagerness to get
fish, and was gresped by the hind legs by an
alligator about three feet long. The cat
made spring and got away, but its leg
was bitten badly and bled freely. The taste
OF blood seemed to put the alligator into
frenzy, for it came out on the bank and
continued the pursuit. The cat turned on
its enemy, and then began one of the
strangest fights seen in long time. The
cat was so quick that 1t was impossible for
the alligator to get bite at it, and the re-
suit was that the saurian soon endeavored
to beat retreat to the water. But the cat
now began an offensive attack and cut off
the way, biting the alligator in the throat
and tender spots under the arms until the
reptile was bleeding and almost exhausted.
The fight continued, and when at last the
alligator gave up it was bleeding from
hundred wounds. The cat was seemingly
unhurt, except in the wounded leg, which
was injured before the fight began.

Eggs at Easter.
From Hurr er's Bdzdr.

The use of eggs for Easter can be traced,
says Count de Gebelin In his Religious His
tory of the Calendar, to the theology and
philosophy Of the Egyptians, Persians,
Gauls, Greeks, and Romans, among all of
whom an egg was the symbol of the uni
verse, the work + the supreme divinity.
The Persians gave presents of eggs at the
feast of the New Year,. e., the feast Of
the vernal equinox-in honor of the re-
newal of all things. THE Egyptians held
the egg as a sacred emblem of the removal
tio1 of mankind after the deluRe. The
Jews adopted 1t TO suit the circumstances Of
their history, as type of their departure
from Egypt, and it was used in the feast Of
the Passover as part of the furniture of the
table with the Paschal lamb" The early
Druids used the egg in their ceremonies.
In Russia one man greets another on
Easter with Jesus Christ is risea." Yes,
he is risen, reply is made; and then an egg
is given. In Moscow no meeting takes
place without this salutatioa and exchange.
THE meanest peuper in the street present
ing an egg and repeating the words 'Cristos
Voscrees' may demand salute even Of the
empress" In some countries of Italy eggs
are carried to the church to be bles 3ed, AMI
then taken home and set out with flowers on
the table. Every visitor during Easter
week is invited to eat an Easter egg, an in-
vitation which must not be refused. Eggs
in all countries are sent as tokens at this
time, and enter into the sentiments and
pastimes of old and young alike.
