Says Remarks Made by Judge Purnell
Were justified by the Facts

At the request OF United States Mar
shal Dockery, we publish the following
statement made by him in regard 10
the New Hanover jail and the remarks
made by judge Purnell:
Il heard the statement made NY
Judge Purnell at the time from the
bench. and thought it timely and fullv
justified by the facts.
Complaint was made 10 me during
the last spring term of United States
district court at Wilmington by the
place, about the food served them DIV
the jaileE. | made a thorough and i'm
partial investigation with a view sole
ly TO seeing that United States prison
ers were properly and humanely treat
ed. The prisoners in question had
been in jail for some months. Their
ordinary het for this entire time con-
sisted Of white fried meat and corn
bread without any change from month
to month. Two of the prisoners were
suffering from acute sickness, others
as result of this diet were develop
ing scurvey
Il made an effort through my depu-
Iy marshal at WilEl. 1gton and through
the physician i'll charge of United
States prisoners at that place to Sc
cure an occasional change in the pri,-
oners' diet. l found that the sheriff
had always declined to change the or
binary diet Of any prisoners, whether
sick Or well. 1t beacme necessary,
therefore, as the physician thought. TO
the health Of the sick prisoners to or
der meals sent them from outside the
Jail This was done. and the govern
ment paid for these extra meals.
Il approved of this action of the
physician as one of humanity These
facts in the case were not obtained,
as Mr. Stedman charges, from the
prisoners themselves, but from reli-
able sources, and l laid them before
Judge Purnell for whatever action he
might deem best in the premises, and
his words from the bench at Whining
ton were the result, not only of COM
plants made directly to him, but of
unlS lnIOrUlHLlOn 1urnlSne0 MIN Dy
myself.
'T have in my possession and con-
venient to hand, written evidence Of
the condition of affairs at the Jail, and
can furnish the sources of my infor-
nation if Sheriff Stedman should de-
sire to know them.
Three of the prisoners who we're
sick were Scott. Adams and Sawyer,
! the negroes condemned to death for
mutiny and murder on the schooner
Harry Berwind on the high seas.
Scott has since been hanged, and
Adams and Sawyer have been respit-
twice by the president, and On De-
cember 18th they will be hanged unless
the president further interferes."

FEDERAL COURT IN SESSION.
Two Cases Tried Yesterday, one for
Retailing an dthe Other for Illicit
DistiIling, and Both Resulted in ,Ac-
Quittal.

Federal court convened yesterday
morning, a recess having been taken
since last Saturday afternoon. Dis
trict Attorney Skinner will not be
here during the remainder of the term
and Assistant District Attorney Giles
will represent the government. 1t is
very probable that all OF the criminal
cases will be disposed OF this week,
that is unless they are principally
jury cases and if SO it may take part
of next week. The case against Mr..
Samuel Blossom for obstructing a
highway over which the United States
mail passes was continued at the re-
quest of attorneys for the defendant.
Mr. Blossom will be defended by
Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy and Roun-
tree & Carr. All of the other cases
are violations Of the revenue laws.
Two cases were tried yesterday and
in both cases the defendants were ac-
quilted. D. D.Williams. white man
of Robson county, was charged with
operating an illicit distillery, and J..
R. Sholar. a white man of Cumber-
land county. was found not guilty Of
the charge of retailing. Considerable
time was consumed in the trial of both
cases.

THE NEGRO AT THE NORTH.

The fact that a negro was elected
county commissioner and another to
the position of municipal court judge
in Chicago mas given as much satisfac-
ton in this part of the country as any
other result of the election. The only
regret is that few more negroes were
not elected to important offices in such
cities as New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia. The more our republican
friends of the north are made to suffer
from negro domination the better the
democrats Of the south will be pleased.
The northern people forced the negro
as citizen and an Office holder on us
of the south. When they did that they
did not suppose the time would ever
come when the negro question would
be raised among themselves. They are
beginning to get taste of the bitter
medicine they for years gave the white
people of the south, and we hope the
negroes will continue to force them to
been a very heavy immigration of ne
groes to the northern cities. This has
been so great that at the present time
negro voters hold the balance of politi-
cal power in several of the cities and
also in some of the states in thit sec
ton. But until recently the negloes
haap tn hn {ini-
the white republicans dictated to them;
there was no disposition On their part
to demand representation for their
race on the party's ticket But now the
abolitionists' chickens have begun to
come home to roost and we are glad Of
it, The Yankee does not any more
relish negroes in office than does the
southern white man, but in some local
tiles at the north the republicans have
got to give the negroes what they de-
mand or lose their votes, and we hope
the negroes will go to the farthest
extreme in demanding such recogni-
ton. We would like to see a negro
oh DClu5 CICN dttu w tuc
of mayor of some of the northern cities.
The republicans Of the north and the
carpetbaggers who came south in re-
construction days made lieutenant gov
ernors and supreme court judges, to
say nothing Of legislators and other
minor officers, of negroes in the south
ern states; why, then, should they not
have taste of negro domination in
their own homes. If there are enough
negroes in Boston, Philadelphia Or any
other northern city to make a good
showing of strength in electing the
republican ticket, why should they not
demand and receive recognition on the
municipal and state tickets? If the
Yankees love them SO we'll let them
prove their love. We want to see it
done. We are glad that two of the
negro race have been forced on the
people Of Chicago, and we hope this is
! just the beginning of election to Office
, of the negro in the north.

In firing from the army all the mem
bers of those three negro companies
in the twenty-fifth regiment of regulars
President Roosevelt did no more than
he should have done. The conduct of
members of that battalion at Browns
vile was outrageous and the guilty
ones should have been surrendered by
their companions and punished; bni
is they were shielded by the other
men Of the battalion, it was only right
that Ell should have been dismissed
from the service. Mr.. Roosevelt, by Ills
conduct in this case. will raise himself
in the estimation of the people Of tho
south, and his action will have a good
effect on the other negro soldiers in
the Standing army.

You can track Marion Buffers cam
paigning through the state by the re-
duced republican vote. If we had just
had a little more time and been able
to send him into some few of the
doubtful congressional districts the
democrats would have enough con-
gressmen to give them a majority in
the next house of representatives. It
is pity, SO far as the democrats are
concerned that he did not enter into
the campaign at an earlier day.
