Purity is not ashamed to look in the

We will only love to live when we live

Little men measure themselves by

There can be no peace in the heart

True religion may find its dining ta-

less in the wilds Of this uncivilized
commonwealth.
Two colored men were lynched and
scAlped last week. Yes, we said scalp
ed, custom in vogue among savages.
The inhuman treatment TO which
LOUIS SAMMIEs was subjected was a
disgrace to Christendom. Hs was con-
veyed to spot in the neighborhood OF
Ssfold, Ca, ard at sunrise of July
23d Sunday morning he was hanged
and his body riddled with bullets.
Before death came his body was mu-
tilated. aud the flesh distributed. The
indignities to which he was subjected
cannot be published, but must be left
TO the imagination.
A jury was empanelled and decided
that these men came to their death &C :
cidentalIy.
While these blood thirsty murderers
are roaming over Georgia at will, no
effort is being made to either arrest
them or check theiroutrageous crimes.
The conditions are appalling and it
is an open question as to whether gov
eminent in this section OF the south
land will continue TO remain q failure.
The local authorities admit their sym
patty with the murderers and the
state authorities make no EFFORT to bet
ter conditions which have become al
most unbesrAble.
Colored men can do naught else but
fight and die. Better to be shot down
in defense of rights denied than to be

THE LYEUHING OF TIE ITALIANS

TIE lynching of five Italians at Tall
IaiAh, Louisiana. July 22d, was without
pAlliation or excuse. They were charg-
ed with murder when there had bsen
no murder. They have since been
charged with conspiracy when up to
this writing it has not been proven.
The administration has seen fit to
take notice Of the affair, aAd regrets
expressed to the Italian government
on account of the unfortunate affair.
That an indemnity will be demanded
and paid by tie national government
admits OF no question. The lynching
of colored men is the direst cause of
this unwarranted procedure.
A singular fact in connection with
the affair is that Italy can obtain for
its subjects in this country what Amer
lean citizens cannot obtain themselves
the protection to life, liberty and
property or an indemnity therefor.
The constitution OF the United States
guarantees the same protection to its
own citizens, but every one now knows
that it amounts to nothing.
Lswlessness is rampant, and civilizs-
tion in many sections has been over
thrown.
The outlook is gloomy, and the ind
cations are that our republic may yet
go Out of existence amidst the thun-
ders of revolution.

colored men in his gang. and that they

in the disfrRnchisment OF the race be-
cause OF his criminal silence on the
question of lynchlug when he has had a
word TO say on every other popular
subject; because they know that it
would have been just as proper for
him to have told the white citizens OF
Georgia that the way to be respected is
TO stop l7nchiDg and uphold the law,
as il WAS to tell the colered people at
Tuskegee, that TO be respected they
must be honest and Industrious be-
cause they know that the colored SOL
diers were treated shameful after their
return from Cuba where they had COW
cred themselves with glory aud ma
ligned and assaulted in the South with
out one word OF protest from the sd-
ministrasion; because no promotions
of colored soldiers worthy OF the

THE WILMINGTON POSTMASTER.
The following information given by

THE following information given by
the press reports will be OF interest:
"RALRIeH, N. c.. July pa SpeciAl)-
The very interesting fact developes in
connection with the meeting, or con-
ference of Republicans here last Thurs
day and Friday tha at on. of the matters
it discussed was the removal of
James II. Chadbourn, postmaster at
Wilmington. During the last campaign
he wrote tw , letters to Senator Pritch-
ard, in the fret of which he said there
was no Negro domination in North
Carolina, while in the second he cor
rected this, and said the cond ition g
we've such that white men must need q
stand together and put q stop to Negro
misrule. Senator Pritchard feels that
the letters put him in q false light be-
fore the country. Republican State
Chairman Holton declares that the last
letter was the turning point in the
campaign. Holton is bitter Against
!ChadbOurn. So are others who were
interested in the campaign, and par
ticularly w. r. Bynum, Jr, and other
candidates for Judge VINO were defeat
ed, In the desire to have Chad Dourn
removed they have had certain charges
said to be trivial. filed at Washington
against him, and on these seek to hang
the removal. Chadbourn has discov-
cred the plan. His friends are told
that the matter of removal or reten-
ton rests entirely with Pritchard
Governor Russell is very anxious thai
Chadbourn shall be retained, and
thinks it best for all concerned that he
fill out his term. This view is shared
by such moderate republicans as At
torney General WaIser and Judge Pur-
nell. The conference adjourned with
out action, nor is it yet known what
Pritehard will do. 1t is said he was
not much m9llified."
We cannot understand why Senator
PRITcHARD should hesitate a moment
in such q ease. II he has the influence
to secure the removal of postmaster.
who has been guilty of such utterances
ne should use it.
BY the use OF such language, he vio-
lated his sworn obligation to recognize
the civil and political equality OF al
men before the law. Republicans OF
the CHADBoURN stripe should be un-
loaded by the Republican Party of the
nation.
