Washington, December 16.-The sem
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tons oday agreed to a favorable re-
port upon Senator Pasco's bill chang
ing the revised statutes SO as to per-
nit the election of United states SEN
ators in Florida before the expiration
OF terms OF incumbents. As the law
stands, the Legislature Of that state
which elects a successor TO a senator
does not meet until a month or more
after the expiration Of his term. thus
creating a hiatus in the office and a
vacancy in the senate. The change
proposed empowers the preceding leg
islature to elect.

A Friendly Note OF Warning 90 Persons
Who Are Not Needed or Wanted In
wflmangton-ssThough Absent They
Are Not Forgot,

wflmsnglon-ssThough Absent They
Are Not FOrgot''
Some of the persons who were ban
shed from Wilmington the day after
the fatal 10th Of November, trusting
to the tickle belief that the storm has
passed over and that they can return,
are venturing back to the city.
They tread on dangerous ground!
When these fellows were made to
leave town 1t was for Wilmington's
good, and that they got out with whole
skins is their good fortune.
The exiles need not be possessed OF
any fancied security in drifting back
to Wilmington. If they know what The
Messenger is in a position to know,
they must realize hat thy are drifting
into a vortex hat will swallow them
up! The whirling of Charybdis has
never ceased, and, 81 to speak, the
rumbling of the Earthquake" has not
died away. The lightning may not be
flashing just now, but the sever thun-
ders are muttering and growing with

The remarkable communication of
*" to be found elsewhere in The Mes
senger this morning Is warning enough.
Let him heed who reads! That COM
munication is from one of Whining
TOMS leading and most conservative
business men. Like all good citizens,
he does not desire to see further blood
shed, and he simply sounds a warning
note.
We copy in another column an item
from The Raleigh Post about the
descent of G. z. French upon the
state capital. He talked a little to
| The Posts scribe and speaks as if it
| is his intention to com back to Will
mington. In speaking Of the circum-
| stances Of his exit from the theatre Of
Wilmington, he said: They thrust
| guns all about me and tried to make
me Mise that I would never re-
turn. I refused to do his and that IS
| what made them mad"
Mr.. French, they are still mad!
While you are away, stay away! You
are not wanted back in Wilmington,
n we merely give o a friendly
piece of advice when we say it is set
tied hat you will not be permitted to
be a tester on the body polite of these
diggings again!
You are safer on Elba. Stay there!

Editors Messenger:
There may be no foundation for the
rumors hat negroes in certain sections
of the city are organizing, but there
are evidences that some OF them
either failed to comprehend or have
forgotten the 10th of November. II
the occurrences that day meant any
thing, they meant that the white men
are determined I govern this city and
county, and that the people are to be
protected in their persons and proper
ty and peace, day and night, and should
any disturbance arise either from mid
night deviltry. or insolent lawlessness
at any time, the 10th of November will
prove to have been childs' play to what
the consequences will be to the negroes
There r a great many negroes here
who behave themselves, and although
they have for 80 years voted solidly
against the best interests Of the CON-
munity at large, and in opposition to
the very people to whom they appeal,
when in trouble, for aid and get it, the
whites wishes them well and will give
them kind consideration in their proper
sphere. But the insolent toughs, and
their vicious leaders, male or female,
will not be tolerated, and the decent
negroes should, If they regard their
own welfare, exert their influence to
rid the community OF them-and right
here it may as we'll be proclaimed,
that this is not a healthy climate for the
scOundreIs who found it safe for their
hides to leave here just after the cleo
ton. They have had their day here
and if they have any friends to advise
them( they had better let them know
it.

for he has worked faithfully for fife en-
years in the interest of democracy. For
eight years he was connected with that

Public sentiment is primary law;

his new abode. The people banished
these men and public sentiment has
sworn out a permanent injunction
against their return.

Some excellent judges have presided
at our courts in years past, but it is
safe to cay that no man ever held court
here who gave as universal satisfaction
as Judge Undertake, both to people
and lawyers as well. Not only is he
regarded as a good judge Of law, but he
is extremely fair, courteous and pleas
