for the endorsement OF this as our

to forget the foundation upon which
the constitution OF the United States

NO JOINT DEBATE.

of time could be reached so each csndi.
date spoke aud had big audiences, Mon
tague 10 q ware house and Hoge Ia the
Town Hall.
Both candidates referred to the Roose-
velt-WsshiDgton dinner episode. Mon
tague denounced Roosevelt for recogui-
ton of social equality, and branded ss
lie the charge That Cleveland had done
the same thing with Fred Douglass.
G ,lonel Hoge declared that Cleveland
had invited Fred Douglass aud bis white
wife to his table and that the democrats
had voted for him three times after he
had signed a bill providing for mixed
schools. and also that democratic Gov.
ernor O'Ferrall had similar experience
with several negro lawmakers from
Massachusetts,. and that the Lyuchburg
Gun Club, with democratic Congress
man Otey, had only last week invited
Roosevelt to hunt with them.
Montague declared that the Under.
wood constitution was breeder OF ex'
travagance. and that the people must
be patient while the convention removed
1t. He assured them that the demo-
cratic party would not destroy itself
with property qualification, and that no
white man would be dsfranchised.
Colonel Hoge declared that the claim
that no white man would be dlsfran-
chised was hypocrisy, and that with
any system Of Acknowledgement adopted
the white man will 90 down with the
negro, and argued that no other result
is obtainable VI honesty obtains in the
administration of the law. He declared
that the fifteenth amendment is i'm
pregnable, and that a fraudulent ad-
ministration OF the new constitution is
to be provided for and wicked at. Tbus

great parties In Virginia presented to
enthusiastic followers OF the two Issues
n the Virginia campaign.
The dividing of the crowd proved . triumph
for the democrats, for Colonel Hoge, who
spoke In the Town Hall, was listened to By
an audience only one-third the sizs Of that at
the Montague meeting, and nearly one-third
OF Colonel Hoge's audience was composed oil
coloIed voters.
There were perhaps more speakers on tho
stump in Virginia yesterday than any day
during tho campaign, and possibly more thsn

KILLED IN A RACE BATTLE.

Serious troubles between whites and
negroes occurred yesterday at negro
camp meeting at Live Oak Church, uear
Bslltown, L., In which ten negroes
we're burned or shot to death and two
white men were also killed. The
scene of the riot was near the place
where Bill Morris, a negro. was burned
to death By a mob on Wednesday.
Considerable race feeling had result
ed there In consequence, and probably
played prominent part in yesterdays
fight. The immediate cause OF the
present trouble, however, Is said to be
due to the fact that Urea Lott, negro
OF Booth, was running q restaurant and
beer room at the camp meeting at Live
Oak Church, where large number OF
negroes were assembled. The constable
OF the district, hearing of this, gathered
posse and determined to investigate.
Ga the other hand, it is alleged that
the negroes had held a meeting in the
church, at which they bad denounced
the member of their race who had
touched the match to the pile OF tsg-
gots that burned Morris to death, and
had sworn to have revenge on him,
This latter story Is probably the cor
rect one, for when the constable and
the posse rode up the negroes who were
congregated 10 and around the church
opened fire on them from ambush. The
firing kept up for some time. Then the
posse retreatsd andinformed the negroes
that the only man they wanted was
Lott, and that he must be surrendered.
The negroes refused to surrender him.
The constable set fire to Lofts
restaurant in order to dislodge him.
Lott leaned out With a double barrel
shotgun, empting both barrels at the
posse and killing Joe Seals, one OF its
members Another negro with Lott
also fred, killing another member Of
the posse, Mr.. Elliot. The posse kept
up fearing killing Lott unintentionally,
blowing of his head.
A negro preacher who rushed out of
the church with shotgun In bis hand
was also killed. The posse then opened
fire on the church. and 1t was riddled
by more than 1000 bullets.

ONE WHITE MAN and nine negroes

ONE WHITE MAN and nine negroes
killed IL the news from Washington
parish, Louisiana, where race war was
about to be precipitated by the indis'
Greet acts OF number OF negroes who
openly de6ed the officers OF the
law. As has ever been the case,
the number of casualties among the
negroes is ten times as great 90
those of their adversaries. During the
past third of a century there have been
mutterings of race war 10 many parts
OF the country. When such a thing
becomes fact the negro question will
meet with an immediate solution.
Some misguided specimens OF the
colored race occasionally attempt fool
hardy experiments and meet with q
just recompense of their deeds. Those
in Louisiana who refuse to profit by
their example will inevitably reap
what they SOW.

The RECENT very able speech on the
Bill OF Rights by Col. Francis l.. Smith,
our representative to the constitutional
convention at Richmond. has made
profound impression in the State. The
subject OF his remarks was opposition
to the proposed and now adopted
changes in this venerable instrument.
The Bill of Rights was not written
purely for the convention Of 1776, but
for all time. 1t announced general
principles of philosophy involving
fundamental rights which belong to
every age of mar. 1t was perfect and
complete and could only have its sym.
metry marred by alteration or addition.
Dol. Smiths argument was that the
present changes only interjected lave
which should properly come under the
provlsions.Of the constitution and which
were out of place in the Bill Of Rights.
The following be achieved in the votes
cast, showed the value OF bis reason
ing and it is yet hoped that 1t is not too
late for the convention to undo this
mistaken work. No matter how much
time it has cost, far better will 1t be to
put these amendments in their proper
place in the constitution than to Law
violent and ambitious hands upon the
one precious imminent OF the Patriot
Fathers, which it Ia ours to hold In
violate and Interchangeable.
