To the Ed,,cr:-I saw something
to-day have never SET before. A
negro had = white man under arrest
at Woodl.ets store. near the Gran
vile county line. The negro Is a
Granville man. 1t seems the negro
informed or swore ont the warrant
before James N. Davis, q justice Of
the peace of Granville county, and
he deputizsd the negro to execute
the warrant. The warrant was is
sued against the white man for stab
bling negro who had the white man
under arrest. 1t was q sight for
New Light to see. | heard the old
est inhabitants say they never saw
the sight before. The negro Dor
rowed . gun from q man at Wood
iiefs store to guard the white man
with.
Yours for Granville fusion.

A gentlemen who lives in the same
township writes his version OF the
case which certainly changes the as
pect materially. The following Is
his letter:
For TnE CAUAsIAN.
NEW LIGHT, Wake County, n. c.,
Dec. O, 1877 see in the Carolinian
OF the LIST inst. bug-bear aad scare
crow written by one W. H. Chapel,
of New Light, and like all Demo
cratic political vampires, seems to
have the purpose in view of deceiy-
ing the good people of North Caro-
lima elsewhere by false impressions
in regard to negro rule and negro
being deputized to arrest a white
man, &c. Now, why did not this
willing tool of the G. o. P. tell the
facts unvarnished, which is about as
follows:
In Granville county near the Wake
line, there lives q So called white
man, who for years has been living
and associating with certain ne
gro family and has been convicted
in the courts of Granville for living
in fornication and adultery with q
negro woman. Not long since he
got IN a row with a negro man, and
took upon himself to stab the son Of
the colored woman who he had been
staying with land this man being
known as a general law breaker and
generally going armed, all of which
is known by the goldbug Democracy
in the community the uncle of the
wounded negro went before j. M.
Davis, Esq; and swore out a war
rant for the arrest of the law breaker
and it being a matter among the ne
groes and their associates, and their
being no regular officer convenient
and not wishing to disturb tho dig
nifty of the kid glove Democracy,
the magistrate deputizsd the man
who swore out the warrant to serve
the same and bring the criminal to
justice, which was done in an order
ly manner. These are about the
facts in the case; and l have not yet
seen where the social standing of
any white man in New Light or else
where has been damaged by negro
rule or Granville fusion. When will
the Dems learn to tell he truth and
deal fair with their political oppo-
nents. Now let's see if the News and
Observer or Carolinian Will do the
good people of North Carolina and
elsewhere the justice:to copy this in
in their columns. We shall see.
