Money.
Not long since it was published that
a white woman suspicionec her nus
band of adultery. To overtake him,
she blackened her face and hands re-
sembling a Negress. She overlook
him and shot him and the woman, his
paramour.
The point is, how many white men
blacken themselves as Negroes, to ac-
complish certain designs. No doubt
numbers 81 colored men have been
lyDched. ETC., for deeds committed by
white men with blackened faces. Pur-
ported Identification does not amount
to anything. Because woman says (;
HE is the man." does not prove him
to be the guilty man. The white man
who blackens his face for the diaboli-
cal deed, may influence the woman TO
the false identity, false charge.
JACKSON WARD POLITICS.

AN OPEN CHARGE.
It has been said authoritatively that
private iubilees, Qualifications and rev.
elries were held by persons OF color, IN
news paper offices and elsewhere, over
the success OF the Democrats in Jackson
ward. Ministers are said TO have beer

seek u undermine them. The Coco
Book tells us, tk at what we measure
to our fellowman, il shall be measured
to us in return, There is no escape
from such.
It is astonishing, the amount OF jeal-
onsy, envy and luminosity some color
ed persons carry in their bosomi
against one another. They have no

DRASTIC COMMENT.
