Below is a summary OF
local and federal Offices held
by the colored population OF
North Carolina, from a Will
mington paper. Much has
been said Of the late race
riots in that state, and it will
be seen from this summary
that it was a struggle tor
supremacy between the
whites and blacks, in which
the whites were the vlctors.
The riots that recently oc-
Cured in North Carolina
would have occurred in any
state in the Union, had
the same conditions prevail
ed, No state will submit to
negro rule and the riots in
North Carolina are easily ex-
planned when it is seen how
the blacks were gaining con-
troll and how many places of
trust they filled.
In Columbus county there
are seventeen negro school
committeeman, five negro
ma gistrates and two negro
postmasters.
In Hartford there are SIX
negro magistrates, one cons
table, ten negro school COM
mittemen, two negro post
masters and one negro on the
board of education.
In Chowan there ARE two
negro aldermen, eight school
committeeman, one county
commissioner and one member
of the board of education.
In Pasquotank there are
three negro magistrates, one
policeman and FIVE schoo

In Perquimaus there are

don Fashoda. This naturally changed
the selling mood to q buying, but tho

Consols, although considerably above
the lowest figure Of the week, were NOT
much up on the whole. Americans were
steady. owing to New York support. the
feature being the buying of Denver q
