ANOTHER FIENDIsH CRIME.

During the same week q white man,
. gray haired fellow, q grandfather, by
the name of ]. B. Mack, outraged lit
tie colcred girl who came to his shop
to purchase meat about O'Clock in
the morning. The girl screamed and
Mack's wife hearing her, raa out of her
room with q board and beat the scoun-
DIRE. of of the girl. Up until Monday
morning Of this week nothing was
done. On Monday however Mack was
arrested, but waving examination was
bound over in the sum of $4,000, TO
await the action Of the grand Jury.
The story is going the rounds that
Meck's son, who is q policeman, threat
ened the little girl if she did not swear
that she was stealing crackers aud was
not raped and to have it published in
the daily papers to that effect that he
would put her in Jail We bslieve
that such outrageous attempts at in
tImidation should be punished by the
courts, but then this Is only q little
"nigger gsP' and courts of law, justice
and equity were not instituted for
such ss she except to punish her. It
is gratifying TO note that the better
element OF white people in Brunswick
are outspoken in their cenunciation of
the action OF the Mack's and we shall
watch the proceedings Of the grand
jury and the courts co see the final
outcome OF the case. The white peo-
pie OF Brunswick now have an oppox-
tunity Of proving the truthfulness OF
their allegations shat they ara our best
friends and that they believe in vir-
tue.-Brunswick, Ga, Herald.
It's good to have faith. You watch
the grand jury proceedings and lool
for the lynchers. You'll find that the
evidence will be all on the side OF the
white man.
We are having q hard time OF it
beaten, brutalized, outraged, muir
dered; but then Just God will in Hit
own time right our wrongs, dry ouI
tears and give Us a happy resting placs
on the other side Of the Jordan.
! Without this hope, the colored peo
pie would be forlorn, dssolate and the
laugh OF the corn-feld would give place
to the mOurn Of the prayer mseting.

The more he thought about the nat
ter however, the less the other white
folks felt like going over 20 the swamp
with him.
He finally concluded to entrust the
task to the military. Two regiments
were ordered TO the scene.
The DELAeELs agreed TO surrender
to she troons but not to the mob. even
il it was led by the sheriff OF the coun-
ty. This was agreed TO, and quiet pre-
vailed.
Sixty-five arrests have been made
and most of these men are in jail at
Savannah.
The men who were for upholding the
Law are to be punished those who
were for violating the law are to 60
fires.
How can Georgia arrest colore6 men
for being arm ID at DHrien, Ca, ana
fail to arrest white men FOR bein z
armed at Palmetto. Gar
How is it that colored men who try
to prevent lynching are put in Jail, and
white men who practice lynching are
not molested
Can the sheriff st Darien, Georgia
answer ? VIII Governor CANDLER note
the comparison
We are glad to see the manhood dis
played by these colored men. Let
them continue to stand up and bs
counted. Let them buy repeating
rifles, revolvers and shot-guns. Lei
them use them IN defending them
selves and upholding the majesty o.
the law.
Governor CANDLER's action has beer
commendAble and will merit the ap-
proval OF every right thinking man
woman end child in this country.
We must be polite, manly, coura-
geous, determined. We must insis
upon a fair trial in the courts of Law
and when this has been obtained rail-!
! to the support Of the enforcement o
its DEGREES.
We may at frat have to lay in jai
and die on the gsllows, but q better 9!

THAT TROUBLE IN GEORGIA.

THE troubls at DARIEN, GEORGIA
when about one thousand armed col
ored men rallied to the defense of the
law to prevent the lynching OF HENRT
DELAeEL, q colored man is without .
parallel in the history of this country
and goes to show that the patience of
the colored men of Georgia is we'll
nigh exhausted.
1t seems that HENRY DELAaEL (col-
ored) had bean intimate for many
months with q white woman, named
MATILDA ANN HOPE, whose husband
had deserted her.
WheT q mulatto child was born q
few weeks ago, she charged HENRY
DELAoEL with having criminallg as
saulted her nine months before.
Every one in the neighberhood knew
of her dissolute character and yet q
warrant was issued for DRLAaEL and
the colored people had every reason to
believe that an effort was being made
to lynch him.
The brothers of DELAaEL were ont
spoken in their defense of him and pro-
ceeded to barricsde their home.
The usual deputy sheriff. who is gen.
orally q member OF the mob approach
the house and proceeded to force en-
trance after bsir g repeatedly warned
away.
The DELAaELs opened FIRE on him and
be passed to the boundaries OF the IN
known world. The eolored men re-
tired to 9 swamp and held out. The
white men were pAnic-strieken and
called for troops.
| When Col. A. r. LAwTON arrived q
the scene OF the disturbance, he found
the eolored men orderly and not dis
posed to make trouble.
The white men continued TO pour in.
to the neighborhood and the hot
headed sheriff insisted upon charging
upon the solOrsd people provided h
could gek enough Mhits men To help.

CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL AS
SAULT,

WILLIAM MILLS and ROBERT STRIB-
BLING, both white, were arrested on
the outskirts OF Alexandria, Va, upon
the charge of criminally assaElting a
colored lady near Doddsville in wsg
on.
They admitted carrying the lady out
driving, but denied having assaulted
her. 1t is admitted that the female
was OF good character.
The arrest was made in Fairfsx coun
tY In which Alexandria is located 'Au-
gust 25th by Lieutenant SMITH Of the
police force OF the city upon the re-
quest of Constable WILLIAM WILLING
Ham OF Remington, Va.
The frenzied mob OF Alexandria did
not exercise itself in this case. Mayor
SIMPSON did not find it necessary to
beg snd plead for the life of prisoner
as he is said to have done in the case
OF BEN THOMAS. He did not promise
TO see that they were sentenced to die
within thirty days.
No, Alexandria was quiet IS the tive
white fiends wers led to the doors OF
the prison.
What would have been the result
had colored men initiated the
white ones and attacked the jail 2
These men were charged with the un-
mentionAole crime which had been
committed ten days before. Why did
not the tramp of the feet OF the mob
resound in the streets of the city ?
Why did not angry colored men de-
mAnd the blood of these white de.
mons?
Suppose that they had done 30.
Would Mayor SIMPsoE have hesitAted 2
Would not troops have been poured
into Alexandra within ten hours
Suppose that the colored men had
broken down the Jail doors, and hang
ed the white men, would not they
have been charged with murder ?
Would not their lives paid the penalty ?
II this be true in this ease, what should
be the action of the authorities in the
case of poor BEN THoMAs7
He is alleged to have attempted .
crime. These men committed it. Is
justice forever asleep Is conscience
silencsd ?
Are the officials of AIexandria perju-
rers and liars What must the COM
munity think What must Chris ten
dom realize ? The decay of the repHb-
lie is at hand. From the zenith of its
glory, it is Fastening to the era of it's
dissolution.
