THAT LYNCHING AT BERKELEY.

THE lynching of GEORGE F. BLoUNT, a
prominent colored citizen at Berkeley,
Norfolk county, Virginia last Monday
morning was without palliation or ex-
cuse ana cannot be condoned by any of
the surrounding circumstances connect
ed with his assaulting a police-officer
and slightly wounding him.
BLoUNT was in the hands of the Berk-
ley authorities, unarmed and helpless.
That they should have accommodating.
ly turned him over to the men who had
chosen the means and methods to MUIR
der him was an outrage, calling for the
severest condemnation and the greatest
punishment.
The colored people of this state are
aw-abiding; but if it is to be under
stood that an arrest by the officers of
the law means the preliminary step to a
dreadful execution, where is there a
man, who, in his right senses will sub
init to such an arrest? 1t seems to us
