The Colored Excursion.

Monday evening last the largest negro
excursion ever seen here came by the
Steamer George Leary, from Washington.
There were at least 400 persons on the
boat and judging by some of those who
came up into the town it was good crowd
10 avoid. The colored hall was opened
for their reception but we are told their
conduct there was marked by rowdyism
and two pistol shots were fired and fight
started almost as soon as the hall was en-
tered. After pumping water for the crowd
until the pump ran dry James SewaIl, one
of our town colored men said he would
be obliged 10 lock the pump 10 prevent it
being broken. One Of the excursionists
told him "that no pumps would be locked
around him" Jim told him he would do
as he pleased and caught hold of the pump
stock and pulled il up and put it in near
by house. Whereupon. the city rough
seeing he was dealing with a man he
could not Brighten cooled down and pre-.
sumably kept quiet while in the town.

called for the nomination OF temporary

to this convention he did not come with

an alteration with any man, but the spirit
of manhood compelled him to denounce
the action of Mr.. Abel as unwarranted,
unjustified and unbecoming, and that if he
