JUST WILMINGTON.

Charlotte Obserger.
There was published in yesterdays
paper;a news item from The Whining
ton Messenger, setting forth that on
Friday last the business men of tha
city through a committee of two gen.
tlemel, paid over $500 to the several
negro lodges which swned The Record
building which was burned on the
10th Of November last, when the plant
IF The Record was demolished. The
public knows all about this occurrence.
That paper had made an Infamous
utterance and lis Office had to be
sacked. While this was in progress
the building caught fire and was con-
Sumed It was claimed at the tune
and ;,as been claimed ever since that
the I: was accidental. We have our
douu'> about that; it seems much
laorr probable that the fire was de-
iiber.t=ly applied by some irrssponsi.
bic member Of the mob-some light
headed, hot-headed person, such as
always attaches himself to movement
Of this character.
But however this may be, the point
upon which we would fiA public at
tention is this: that the just and fair
minded people of Wilmington have
voluntarily I paid for the building
burned. AS said above, the printing
oHce had to be sacked; moreover, the
editor of the paper had to be driven
away. These things were acts of
justice-stern justice, it is true, but
Justice. But there was no purpose
to visit harm upon the innocent, and
when harm came to the property of
orderly and unofendiDs negroes,
throug h 20 fault of the good men of
Wilmington, they promptly, like the
just and generous people they are,
contributed the money and paid for it.
This proves that they do not hate tho
negro, as such, nor seek to punish him |
merely because be is black. The
mayor and chief Of police whom they
ran away were white; Manly, the
editor, black. All were run off not
because they were either black or
white; not, primarily, because they
were Republicans, but because they
were bad citizens, disturbers of the
peace.
Ia paying for this Record building
the white people Of Wilmington did
what was right; at the same time
wqat was generous, liberal, as these
IhiDgs go. !

formation upon the correspondents for
the San francisco press are, as rule.
liable to fall into error. Those ave-
nnes OF information are notorious
for inaccuracy and laundering. On q
few leading measures they manage to
get at the meat of a thing, but as q
rule their representations Of the pur-
poses Of the run Of bills are the result
Of extreme haste in work, and careless
and inaccurate reading Of measures,
and often represent ideas gathered at
second hand or from having heard the
bill read hastily on Introduction. We
are not by any means sure that Senator
Smith was not right In asserting that
1t would be wise for the State, and well
repay it for the cost, to have system
whereby through official agency full
copy Of every measure introduced in the
Legislature should be forwarded to the
newspapers Of the State. It is essen
tial that the people should know what
Is going on, what is proposed in their
Legislature. Publicity is one Of the
very best of safeguards Of the right,
and an almost certain means of defeat
ing error. These reflections are the re-
suit of noting In a single week some
thing like a score Of grossly inaccurate,
misconceived and absolutely false ideas
In our leading country exchanges, jour-
nails the rHony,1o 1onlr m fov
corning these measures alone; the high
way bills; the amendments to the coun-
ty government, bill; the pure food and
anti adulteration measures; the pro-
posed permissive bicycle license bill;
the International Exposition bill; the
bill providing residence for the Gov
ernor; the bill for the protection of the
waters of the American River from
pollution; the BIZ e'ative to more
State schools; the measures regarding
compensation of Justices of the Peace;
the bill concerning Child Study; the
proposition concerning supplementing
the Supreme Court; the San Francisco
seawall bill, and the propositions relat-
ing to libellous cartoons and justifiable
homicide. The misstatements made
concerning all these measures in a large
number of our interior exchanges, can
be accounted for in no other way than
this, that our contemporaries have been
misled by careless correspondents, de-
ceived by yellow journals which have
purpose in misrepresenting, or by rea-
son of hasty conclusions reached by
reading merely the titles Of the bills.
If our contemporaries would carefully
and with something more of delibera-
ton read the uncolored, faithful reports
in the Record Unions" pages Of pro-
ceedings before the houses and commit
tees, they would find themselves mis-
led and misinformed in no single in
stance.
