CIRCULAR ISSUED BY NEGROES

dreadful crisis through which we are now
passing. With the unfortunate causes that
led to the present condition of affairs, we
have nothing whatever to do nor do we
propose to discuss them. They are matters
for the Superior Court, and by that trib-
unal they viii be adjudicated We are
concerned only in restoring peace and in
doing so as quickly as possible without
the shedding Of another drop of blood and
peace will be FASTENED in its coming if
you will give heed to the following con-
sideratiOns
/. Avoid all fear and excitement on ac-
count of the presence of the soldiers. They
are here in obedience to the command of
our Governor, for the protection of The
lives of men and women of both races
equally, and to see to it that the law is
upheld and obeyed. Many of you believe
that they are here in the interests of white
citizens only. This is not true, and that
they are likewise present to project Colored
citizens is proven by the fact that when
John Delegal was arrested on Saturday
last. the soldiers protected him aud deliv-
cred him safe in our jail; and they are
now guarding and protecting him. and Will
continue to guard and project him until he
shall have been fairly tried by the court.
. Avoid every act that has even the APP
pearance of lawlessness. Do not congre-
gate in groups to discuss matters. Let
every man at once return to his work. Do
not carry any firearms. Be very careful
TO observe the law with regard to the car
rying of concealed weapons. Speak tenn
perately about current affairs, and do all
you can to restore peace.
g. Let every woman abstain from all
words that may incite to rashness, or may
be abusive. Let them stay al home. And
by al. means, let every man see to it that
no colored woman shall show her face a
the court house, or on the streets adjacent
thereto during the coming session of the
court We emphasize this, and earnestly
beseech all our women to heed it. The
respectable women of our race always re-
main away from the court house; others
must now be made to do so
T. We must understand that the courts
are instituted for the settlement of all
questions of right and wrong, and good
citizens will always abide by the decisions
rendered, no matter if sometimes certain
individuals suffer injury The good of the
entire people is paramount to the inter
ests of any individual The courts must
be sustaind; their officers at all hazards
must be respected and obeyed; law must
be upheld DO not forget these things.
We earnestly, therefore, appeal to you
all to do all in your power TO bring back
10 our city and county that peace ana
harmony between the races with which
I'm the past We have been so signally
blessed.
