Special t j Tin- Now- ;.u.l (Nmri r Wilmington, N. <Nov. ? There was a mass-meeting of the business men of Wilmington to day attended by fullv eit-ht hundred of the best citizen*, at whieu the following resolution- were adopted : Believing the Constitution oi the~ United States contemplate ! : government to be carried on l>\ an enlightened people; belie\ing that its framers did not anticipate the enfranchisement of an ignu. rant population, of African origin, and believing that those men of the State of North Carolina who joined in forming the I'nion did not contemplate fur thoir do scendants a subjection to an inferior race: We, the undersigned citizens of the city of Wilmington and county of New Hanover, do here by declare that we .will no longer \e ruled, and will "ever again be ruled, by men of African origin. This condition we have, in part, " dured because we felt that flu? jnsequences of the war rf cessation were such as to deprive im of the fair consideration of many of our countrymen. We believe w that after more than thirty years is no longer the case, ne stand we now pledge our s to is forced upon ussuddenv a crisis, and our eyes are hi<j 11 to the tact that we nned act f?l??*?i<?r leave our descendant* to too m too gloomy to be borne. somVbile we recognize the author spotof the Coifed States and will vatel to it if exerted, we would or a moment believe that it , 1 Ma purpose of more than sixty of our own race to subOr.lbilt rmanentlv to a fate to in-h <>r oni nglo-Saxon liasr tie of Hllbnn>'^ rciii''d> .'?y cure. 11 is ab??iliite?> est coonh \vnip made. 2f?c. y We, therefore, believing that we represent unequivocally the sentiment of the white people of this county and city, hereby for ourselves and representing them, proclaim; hirst. That the time has passed j for the intelligent citizens of this community, owning !)."? percent. of the property, and paying taxes in like propori.on, to bo ruled by negroes. -. That we will not tolerate the action of unscrupulous white men in affiliating with the negroes so j that by means of their votes they can dominate the intelligent and thrifty element in the community thus causing business to stagnate and progress to be out of the question. Third. That the negro has demI onstrated, by|antagonizing our interest in every way, and especially by his ballot, that he is incapa1 ble of realizing that his interests j are and should be identical with ! 11 ..r ?i,? lfius?t? "i till" I'lMIl III II III I V . Fourth. That the progressive j element, in any community in the ! white population, ami that the i giving of nearly all the etnployi ment to negro laborers has been against the best interests of this county ami city, ami is a sufficient reason why the city of Wilming; ton, with its natural advantages, j lias not become a city of at least ! oO.OOO inhabitants. Fifth. That we propose in the future to give to white men a j large part of the employment heretofore given to negroes, because we realize that families can not thrive unless there are more opportunities for employment tor tin* oinWent members of said members of i?l families. Sixth. That the white men export to live in this community peaceably: to have ami provide absolute security for their families, who shall be safe from insult or injury from all persons whomsoever. We are prepare.1 to treat the neirroes with justice and consideration in all matters which do nut iiu'iiIfii ua^rillnno >.f ?i... e?ts of the i 11 t?>lIiir<*tif an< 1 progressive portion of tin* community. Hu: w?? are equally pre pared now and immediately to enforce what wo know to be our right*. Seventh. That wo have been, in our desire tor harmony and peace, blinded both to our best interests and our rights. A cilrnax was reached when the negro paper of this city published an article so vile ami slanderous that it would in most communities have resulted in the lynching, of the editor. We deprecate lynching and yet there is no punishment provided by law adequate i for tins oileuse. We therefore owe it t? the jie' pl ut this community ami of tin- city, as a protection against sueh license in ! flit lire, t hat the paper known as the Kecord cease I t be published and that its editor be banished from this community. We demand that he leave this nt\ with in twenty-four hours after the issuance of this proclamation. Second, that th<- l.rintini' - ' from which the llerord lias been issued he ki 1 ami .shipped from the city without lelav. That WO be notified v.ilhiu twelve hours ot the acceptance or rcjec tioii <>f the demand. If the demand is agreed to within twelve hours we counsel forbearance on the part of all white men. it the demand is refused, nr if no answer is jjiven within the time trier.tinned,then the editor Manly, Will b L? expelled by force. i It i^ the sense of this meeting the mayor. S. 1'. Wright, and sooi'f police .1. II. .Mullen, hav\\ i.i II ./? V' ? i ..r< - ini . porter I- v".m lye m ! njr demonstrated their utter in-! I I capacity to give the city a decent government and keep order therein, their continuance in oflice being a constant menace to the peace of this community be forthwith requested to resign. A committee of twenty-fiveI [citizens was appointed to direct I ; tiie execution of the provisions of j the resolutions, i This afternoon there was a conference between the committee j and a number of the inlluontia) j negroes of the city at which it was agreed that the negroes rej port to the committee at 7 a. m. i to-morrow as to whether or not Kditor Manly would comply with j the requirements of tlio resolu! tions. If he does not the white j men propose to go in full force at s a. m. and destroy tfie newspaj per plaut and forcibly expel the | editor. There is intense exciteI nient and many fear that the ne; groes will attempt to protect ' Mainly, and if they do the worst <in r\ v r\ . i. i t /-? <1 uu c.\iru. A largo crowd of whiten, which j assembled on Front street tonight after the excitement caused I by the street car incident, was ! addressed by the lion. John IJ. I Bellamy and several others. A unique feature of the meeting was tho fact that every speaker, except Bellamy, carried a ; Winchester on his shoulder. All the speakers, however, were mihl- i mannered, and advised the crowd' to disperse ami go home, stating that their services would proba' bly not be needed to-nigh, j tthough they might be tomorrow.! II \ It M l.l'Ss ItlnTIN WI1.MINOTON. Wilmington, N. (November ? About s p. m. a report i reached the lower part of the city i that a negro had lired live shots at a >treet car having several passengers aboard, including one' lailv. This brought out white ; men and Winchesters in a iiH'y,i and soon several carloads were I taken to the scene of the excitement. There are two stories, one that the ne^ro tired at the street! car and the other that lie fired into the ground. It is certain | that lie iireil the pistol.
