the course OF the democratic papers
for trying to place the responsibility
on the heavily loaded shoulders Of the
republican-fusion party. Don't do it:
no use. It is right there, and there
it will remain. But Mr.. Jockey and
his committee, SO wildly indignant,
"either knew or could have ascertain

publicans here, in the ratio of one
white renegade to 500 blacks, do not
agree with them in declaring that the

"for political purposes" and aspiring
judicial exigencies, to have his COM

RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the regular session of the
Ministerial Union, which is composed
of the colored ministers of this city
Resolved, That the Ministerial I'm
ion, is in hearty sympathy with the
efforts Of The Daily Record in defend
ing the rights Of the race, and that,
each minister inform his congregation
of the present situation, and endeavor
to sustain the paper by swelling its
subscription list, and urging prompt
payment"
Further evidence of the endorse
ment of the mischief making simple
tom was displayed last night by a
large mob of negroes assembling
around Editor Manly's paper to pro-
tect him, if necessary, as the defender
of their race; and in the assemblage
in his Office were several ministers of
the Ministerial Union Who were by
their presence evincing their sympathy
and appreciation Of the editorial staff
of The Record. Perhaps, their alarm
was due to the fury Of Mr.. Jockey s
resolutions.

Friends Gathered to Protect Him
There has been considerable feeling
in the city over the vile publication in
The Record, the negro daily, in it's is
sue of August 18th, and yesterday Alex
Manly, the editor. complained to May
or S. p. Wright and Chief of Police
Melton that yesterday he received a
letter threatening his life. The letter
wound up by giving Manly till 6
o'clock August 25th to leave the city
or there would be "a dead niger in
town.
Since the obnoxious editorial appear
ed Manly has been staying in the Of
flee at night with some friends to pro-
tect the office, and all this week the
police have been keeping a watch over
it lest an assault might be made upon
it. Early last night, about 200 negroes
gathered at the foot Of Princess street
in front of and around the office. Some
were armed with pistols and some
with both pistols and sticks, and nat
urally such a gathering created consid-
cradle excitement. The crowd was Or
derly, but as it was unlawful, Chief of
Police Melton came down town at $50
p. m. and with ten policemen, dispers-
ed the mob.
About the time the crowd was dis
persing Mayor Wright also came down
and advised them to go home. They
said they were not out to create any
disturbance, but simply to protect
Manly.
Some Of the crowd were disposed to
argue the right of the chief to dis
perse them, but he told them that they
must disperse peacefully or he would
be compelled to use force. The crowd
then dispersed and by 10 o'clock the
street was almost deserted. Several po-
licemen staid around the office pretty
much all night, and a number of Man
ly's friends remained in the office with
him.

one OF those wanderers who have few

have no regular customers. They haunt the
alleys on hot days bawling their wares after
the regulars have made their rounds. They
pick up quite few nickels in the course

ut was one Of the hottest days of the late

sport. Finally, when he had about given up,
he heard the long and eagerly wished

the alley. My friend went forth, waited and
was rewarded. The dealer was colored
man who was earnestly appealing for all to
buy.

1t that not long ago some young people
cut in the country who were to give
a ball thought they would be badly dis

had fiddled for all their balls as far
back as they corld remember suddenly
lost his wife. She died the very day
before the dance was to come off. and
the funeral was to take place the day
after, SO, of course, they gave him up
and tried TO make the best of things
without him. Imagine, then, their
amazement when the time for the ball
came TO see him come marching in just
as usual. fiddle and all, and take his
seat in the old accustomed place. They
were delighted, and yet little shocked,

And glad with the babble of Joy:
Gay voices of pleasure made merry the

And dwelt in the thoughts of boy.
rhe reefs OF distress in that ocean of strife
Were hid in its sparkle and foam,
And youth found no time In the laughter
of life
To write to the loved ones at home.
He loved them. all yesl for he knew they
were true
And would serve him In sickness or
health.
No task but their hands would most joy

To aid him In want or in wealth.
At morning and evening they whispered
his name,
Though far from their paths he might
roam,
Yet found he no time in his pleasures-for

To write to the loved ones at home.

she died
With the name Of her boy on her tongue.
And oh. for the letter her heart was de-
