Programme tor To-da. y, Ac,?to. It is hardly necessary to remind our people of the disgraceful scenes which attended the departure of the Savannah Base Ball Club from Charleston three weeks ago; nor do we deaire to kindle public ?idignation anew by ? description of the attack then made by a negro Biob upon a number of white men who came to Ovarien ton for the purpose sf playing a match gSaewith the Carolina Base Ball Club. The po? lice thc* "P's ..powerless;" the eitizeus were not ready. Tho consequent was that our friends ' and guests were assaulted a?^*i>IW?d, while C taxies ton on the morrow learned with acute pain that the gallant sons of a sister city had been expos od to the violence o' an insolent ne? gro mob. It was then resolved that if the Savannah Base Ball Club again came to Charles? ton, the atizaos would show by their presence that tbey discountenanced tumult and riot, and were at the same time ready to act as a guard of honor to shield their f rion da from insult and from harm. This spirit caused the white citi? zen ? of Cb arlee ton lo assemble in large num? bera upon the arrival of the Savannah Base Ball Club OD Saturday evening last. There was no concerted plan or purpose. All that was intended was to sho w ?chat there were white ?en as well as colored men in Charles* ton. Mayor Pillsbury had been informed that there would be no procession outside of tbe line formed by the two base ball clubs and their personal friends. No generarprocesaion Wu formed; bot the Chief of Police, acting ander orders from the Mayor, marched apon the Hoe with a detachment of armed police, and insisted upon acting as an armed escort to a body of peaceful and inoffensive citizens. This unwarrantable action wellnigh led to a diarorbaDoe, which every decent man would have deplored. The citizens who met tbe Sa? vannah, Club were ready and will m g to defend that club tro m the attacks of tho negroes; but nothing was farther from their thoughts ?bau a collision with the police or with the munici? pal authorities. They desired to give the Sa? vannah Club tbe protection that the Mayor had found himself "powerless" to give tueco,, and in the event of trouble they would have fought side by aide with the police to res toro pea ie tnd quiet. There was, however, no sjgn of | disorder, and we are forced to believe tbat the urned police were thrust apon tbe procession 3 y Mayor Pi ll abut y and bis henchman, Alder? man i.f. Mackey, with the expectation of pro rok?Dg ariol m which the white citizens should tie wholly in tbe wrong. Our people did not fall into the trap; nor will they for any reason per .nit themselves to be brought into col lisian with the police. The aim of the citizens is Lbs protection of their friends, not a row with :ho municipal authorities. Mayor Pillsbury was asked again and ogaiD to withdraw his bayonets, and waa assured that the two dabs woald then maroh quietly io the hotel. Bat he was deaf to all remon itrande, saying, in answer to all inquiries, that ie was charged with being unable to preserve the peace, and he was sow determined to show that be could keep order io the city. And how lid he prove it ? By calling oat a detach m ea t I 1 jr United 8tttes soldiers and a body of forty j < Policemen armed with Winchester rifles. The police were to escort the procession, and the ] United states soldiers to lend a helping hand. < The anm of the whole is, that when there was 1 i negro riot tbe Mayer could not suppress it, hut when there was a procession of white men no could guard them in front and rear and on < che tanks with Federal and municipal soldiery. < [hit upon such cowardice. < Mayor Pillsbury, as the chief magistrate of I ;be city, bas the right to make all necessary * preparations for patting down a riot. Ia this I tay he may station forces so that they will I >e in striking diatanoe if trouble should como. 1 [t is, however, aa unwarrantable interfer- c ince with the rights ot the citizen where a pro- ' tension of responsible men is handed over to t he tender mercies of a guard, and is ordered i 0 be escorted with all the care bestowed on J 1 prisoner on his way to the gallows. Did c day or Pillsbury call oat the Federal troops ir even the police when the negroes serenad- 1 id bim, and, yelling like demons, marched t brough the streets? Hid he call oat the 1 ruard on the occasion of any Radical pro- 8 lessioa ? No 1 And yet there was theo i thousand times more danger to the pub- c io peace than there was on Saturday last. 1 There was no warrant for the conduct of Mayor ' hlleburry, and it is boped that he will learn a risdon before it if too late. But b; ot taren ! 1 VE ABB WHITS HEN. That ii a crime which 1 flayer Pillsbury cannot pardon. Yot one hing is certain, tho white men of ibis city can- * lot and mast not be provoked into a fi*ht willi ' be soldiery and police. Oar duty IR ro watch - iver our friends. That, and nothing mere. c THE A BRI VAL. The members of the Car J! na Club and a arge number ol cinzons assembled on the louth Atlantic wharf aoont ave o'clock Satur* lay afternoon, and anxiously awaited the .rrival of tbe steamer Dictator, which a tolc ;ram, received in the mo. mug, stated had left iavannan at ten o'olouV with tbe Savannah l Hub, and the Washington Cornet Band, color- 1 d on board. The steamer was soon descried E iff Morris Island and her approach announced 1 iv Joyful shouts. As ehe'turn od her head m 1 owards the wharf, the m. umber J of the Care- * ina Club were dr*wn np in line nnder Presi- * lent McCabe. Wflen within a hundred yards of 1 he wharf a gao in the bow ol the steamer was z Ired, and the band on board commenced to ] ?lay. Thia waa greeted with cheer after cheer, 2 ind the proposition from President McCabe ' or three cheers and a tiger for the Savannah s ?lub were given wita a will. Amid the cheer- 1 og and music the steamer glided alongside of 1 he wharf, and mntuil greetings ensued. The 1 Jamima's broke rauks and clambered on board ind welcomed the visitors, and with no for? mal speeches or cart niau ie*, bat wit o the cor hal hand grasp And beaming eye, which spoke! more than words could do tho joy they felt in s [he reunion. . THE SAVANNAH CLUB. 1 Tbe members of this club who came are as 1 named: W. F MP.y. Ed. L. Beard, John M Nulty, Geo. S. Kimball, C. Neidlinger, B. Btu levant, L. Soaa?er, Charlea ...onignal.

The Washington Cornet Band, colored, whic accompanied the club on tbe previous tn and suffered such indignities at tbe hands < that altogether too large class of vicious, id negroes tvLich infest otu* city, was, mnch I the gj-atification of all Chorlestonians, preset on this occasion.

Morcell, W. H. Woodbousi N. A. Angler, and B. H. Burke, it will be n membered, received severe woonda during th assault made upon them it the Citadel gate. THE POLICE FORCE. While tho guests wcro engaged in gettio? their baggage and arranging to march off tb steamer, it squad of the city police, about fort strong, armed with their new Winchester (''1 shooter") rifles, fixed bayonets, and under con marni uf the Chie f of Police, Captain Beti dncks, wi^h Lieutenants Chapman and lari marched upon the wharf, and diew np in lin on the south side of it. In this loree were OD colored mau and tibe negro. These, as state by one wno is in s position to kaow, were seo to satisfy the nine negro Aldermen who migb have objected to tho torce which was ? jnt t "protect" the visiting club being composed ec tirely of white men. As soon as this guard wa obBCtved by tho m sobers of tb? two dub* they protested against being escorted t the hotel by them, stating rightfully that the had no right to bo tiicrd nor to escort them that there was no danger of a disturbance, and therefore, no escort whatever was seeded Finally a committee was sent to Captain Beti dricks to'ascertain what he proposed doini with his force. He stated tbat he had beet instructed by the Mayor and Council t< come down to 'the wnarf and protect ibe visitors from any insult, and if there were i procession of citizens to escort them, to fora his police in suoh a way as to make them th escort, and to do everything that could b, done to prevent any disturbance, and to ched at once any* movement that tended to provoke snob. He was informed that there would be no pro? cession of the citizens ; that the line would be formed with the band in front, then the Carola a and then the Savannah flab, and proceed quietly to the Charleston Hotel. The Captain abruptly terminated tbe inter, view with the statement that the "whole affair' was caused by tbe editorial in THE NEWS ol that morning, and he bad received bis instruc? tions Lnd intended to carry them out. This statement of tbe Chief of Police flow like wildfire, and created great excitement. The members pf the clubs collected m gronos agd dieeussed the matter. Ihe Savaunah Club" declared that they would not go under the escort ol the guard if it could bo avoided; tbat they were confident tbere was no occasion for a dtsturbanco, and if there were they were satisfied that the Carolina Club could protect them. A prominent member ot the Carolina Club suggested that a committee be sent to the Mayor to request bim to remove the police,. Carious other snrrrre?Tiol* were oflarod, but ;he discussions were concluded by tbe sending if another committee to Captain Hendricks, irho said ho had orders to have nothing to do ?nth the affair so long as tbere was nq>nrooes lion of the citizens; if the clubs and baud marched up in lino, he would not interfere, rle then repeated what his instructions were n regard to makiog his torce tbe escort in jase the citizens attempted to escort the clubs. The committee returned and reported what aad occurred at the intorview between them md tbe Chief of Police. The clubs not know? ing of any intention, which there was not, of ibe citizens to form a line, commence* them? selves the FORMAT ION CF THE LIKE, Saving the band m front, tbe Carolina and hen the Savannah dub. As aeon as the line iras formed the drummers of tbe band com? menced to beat the step and the line moved off jf the wharf. Toe citizens, not members ol the dab, who had assembled, without concert )f action or organization, for the purpose of welcoming the "visiting dab, followed the ilabs. walking on either side of the Uno as .ssemblages always d ) when fo'lowing a pro session in which they are interested. As the ine reached the gate ot ibe wharf, a small iquad ot policemen flied oat from tbe side, and ilacing themselves in front of the band, iroceeded on in the line of maroo. Tee clubs lalted, and demanded to know what was thu ibjeot of the escort, when they had bjen in Orraed by tbe Chief of Polioe that there would ie cone, so long aa tbe line was only com tosed of tbe band and clubs, as it then was. They received no satisfactory reply for this .utrafic, and alter some deliberation marched m. The line proceeded to East Bayt and urned towaids Broad-street. Here the police uen formed on either side of the lino and narohed along, the officers in command ae inming, by what authority is not known, the m tire command of the line, Tbe appearance if this guard caused shalt of the line, and the nembers ot the clubs refused to go any arther under guard. After some discussion, md it being ascertained that there was no ray of getting rid of the police, they deter mned to go back to ibo wharf. The command 'right about" was given, and tue line, with Ute land bringing up the rear, marched quietly ' tack to tue wharf. The police rcmatued on Sast Bay, ready, as trie a 'quoi proved, to take marge ot' the chiba if they came off tho wharf gain. OM THE WHARF. Re-arriving ou tho ?hart, au inlorm.il iudig lation meeting was ho d. Some proposed that is it seamed impossible to got i id ot tbe police, be clubs should much along to thc hotel, ?nd illow them to follow, lead, or do whatsoever ileaeecl them best. Others were in favor ol iroceedtng to the hotel without formality j to ?nd the band in an omnibus, and for each nember of the Carolina to take a member of he Savannah Club and carry bim quietly up o the hotel. As tbere waa no appearance of he police, and it was reported that tbey had ?e tur ned to their quarters, it wes suggested md resolved that the ciubs Bbeuld first form ine with the band in Iront, and tbeu the citl ?ens should form in front and rear, and the ine then march to the hotel. This was dono, md to tho music of the band this ?me. eom >08ed of from one thousand to twelve hundred if the tax-pay iug, law-abiding citizens, marched ip by the old postoffice, turned ?ato East Bay j ind then into Broad, taking tho pavement on ?be south s.de of that street. A BLOODY BI OT min XE ST. 1 As the bead of the line nearly rea -bed State- i itreet, the police ran up East Bay, cut diago- i lally across Broad-street, and rushed into the ine, be'ween the citizens and the band. Tbe i ine was ordered to h?lt; many ian ic broke j ranks and cvpwded areund tfae chief of f and demandtiu vP Know' what was the cat this indignity. Hd replied fha. thtre v procession <>f the citizens, aod ha had ina tiens to prevent one; fae kuew his duty, ax intended to fulfil it to tbe letter. He drew bis men up in the middle of the st and suddenly care the order for thea "charge bayonets," whictrble men did, nu ing towards the south pa?? ment the assemt gradually falling back before them. As reached tho pavement a policeman stru oitizeu, who immediately seized hts u\ chester" and nearly wrench id it oui of band. A scene of tbe wildest excitement ensued, and but for the feeling m tbe brea: every respectable citizen that there most bc, for any reason, a colli .ion between tho zeus and the police, there would bare be on the spot the bloodiest conflict wi Charleston has ever known. lt is proper to say bore, and to say it n emphatically, that the only element of di der attending Ibo procession was the prese and conduct nf tho pob'ce. There were no *i of trouble; there were not fifty colored pen in the street; there was no earthly occasion any guard, because there was no prospec disorder. But the presence of the police ra a riot imminent, and bod it taken place, person responsible for it all would hare t Mayor Pillsbury, who was determined to pi that bo ctmld ''protect the Savannah ? irom danger," by putting them nnder gai when they were already as thoroughly safi they would have been in their beds at bomi THE SCENE IN BUOAD STREET, At the time of this oatt, beggared deso; tion. Xhe police were standing on the del sive; their officers were shooting themas! hoarse; the crowd was surging backwatd) t ?orwards-all having a look of uncerti ty-each face asking the question, "ff is to be done next?" - Around the Cl of Police was an excited crowd, finding, fi the assertions of Captain Hendricks, that bad no discretionary power?, a committee \ sent to the Mayoi to ask bun to remove police. Captain Hendricks offered to ct promise by marching his men up on one e of tho street and let the line go on the otl but no one was willing to assent to this, i the committee, consisting of Messrs. Tl Stoney, B. Smith, B. A. 8mythe, 8. T. Tupi E. WlffiS and B. F. McCabe, started in sea of the Mayor, tt was reported that thia ricial, backed by two Aldermen, waa on ? Buy-s reet; ?>ttt a fidarch there was futile, I the committee proceeded to tbe Com Chamber. UNOFFICIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL, The following members of Council, for ac cause unknown to ns, some of whom ass that they were nob summoned, assembled the Council Chamber about four o'clock, a bad an informal meeting : Mayor Pillsbury, W. M. and I. J. Mackey, L. F. and E. P. Wi colored, i rown, colored, Voigt, Greene, B row, Collins, Cunningham, Small, colon With themwere A. J. Banaler, colored, Mag trate De Largo, colored, Captain J. H. Jeu ks. lt is reported that Alderman T. J. Mack introduced a resolution authorizing the May to instruct the police not"tn penni' the band play at all during thoir stay, which was u acted upon. About six o'clock, the Mayoi becoming u easy, sent word to Colonel Edie that tbe s< vicos of the military were required; for wb purpose, it is understood, he did not stal and we feel assured he did cot know of ai occasion for them. When they arrived th wJIG drawn up in Iront of tho City Hall, ai from this fact it was surmised that they we required to protect Council - from what Ab jut one hundred soldiers were sont und command of Colonel Andrews, pine committee came into tho chamber abo' seven o'clock and held an interview, which" te minated in the Mayor reluctantly giving h consent to allow Captain Hendricks "discr tionary powers,"and the committee left bavic gained hardly anything by their visit. THREATENED ABBX3T OF SIB. M'CAB E. During tbe interview the Mayor said t looked for a disturbance of this kind, to wbi: Mr. McCabe said : Allow me to interrupt ye by stating that yon bad no auch expectation i two o'clockayesterday, by your own assertioi Mayor. You assured me that there would t no procession. Mr. McCabe. Will yon inform me of tho def nit ion of the word processitn; does it mean a assemblage ? I protest that there is cot a prc cession, and therefore there is ns necessity c an escort. These gentlemen present to rc ceivethe Savannah Base Boll Club hare a ngb to receire their visitors a. the wharf and folio* them to the hotel it they so desire. If a fir company were to como here on a visit, am with a band paraded tbe streets, would yoi eil) the crowd that followed a procession lhere was and is no danger of a disturbance tnd there ia no necessity for the escort of th policemeu. Mayor. I am. the best judge of tbe danger Ihe whole affair seems to bo a mob, aud heno the necessity of the presence of the police. Mr. McCabe denied that the crowd was at ill riotously disposed, aud asked the Mayor bj what right or upon what information he pre tuned to make such an assertion; to whicli the Mayor answered by informing bim thal ihe clubj oould either go under the escort ol the police or do without them altogether. Mr. McCaoe replied thst neither be nor any jther members ot tba dabs desired to go under the escort of the Ma> or's minions. At this stage of the oonveraation Alderman r. J. Mackey rose from bis chair and said: ''Mr. Mayor, I'd oust that man; If you will tuthorize mo, I'll arrest bim as au Alderman." The Mayor then jumped up and ordered Mr. McCabe to leave the room, which he did, and itood in tho doorway. Some officious person sung out for a euard of ;wo men to arrest Mr. McCabe, whereupon l?verai negroes, with Winchester rifles in land, rushed out of tho Guardhouse, ready :o obey any orders whatever, but their services were not required. BEiUirrnoN OF THE MABCH. By the time tho con mutee ret urned to thc I pot where the line had halted, thc United States soldieis were then manoeuvring about .ight and left, for what purpose is not known. Ibero wore now fully two thousand citizens 31-esent. to whom tho committee stated tho re? mit of the interview, and also informed Cap ain Hendricks, who exercised his "disorc ?lonary powers," by informing the committee hat ho would go on the north side of the itieetandtho clubs and citizens could go on .he other. Under these circumstances tbe ino was reformed, a large number of citi? ons being in front and in rear. Tbe sol? diers and police formed on the opposite side of he street, and at the ,tap of the drum ot' thc laud, both lines moved np Broad-street. Not ti? ng occurred to intcrtupt tho order of march intil the line arrived at the comer of Meeting ind Chalmers streets, when in response to the iniveraal call for 1 Dixio" the band gave that avoiite tune, dear to all Southern hearts, lu tbs strains rose upon the air, one long, cud and con tin ned shout bur.-t tram the ihroats of the deligjted crowd, aud made tue ?velhin riug. Mot ou I j' d.d the whites cheer, jut negroes who were about sheafed fully as roeiferoasly. At this inomont some polic.; neu ordered the band to stop playing Dixie, ? crowd gathered around; the po:ice rushed icrosa aod attempted to stop the hue, which lor a moment recoiled sud then quietly walked I throagh the opposing force, and soon arrived ! tc trout ot TBM CHARLESTON HOTEL. I Th? Lino filed across*the street and entered the eoatheC? end of the portico, and to the music of 'Hosatf Sweet Home !" marched np to the entrance, and filed toto the spacious vestibule. Tn a moment it was literally pack? ed. Loud calls for ''Dixie" were made and; tie band responded, tbe cheerio g which followed completely drowning the music. At the con? clusion of the music turee cheers and-a tiger were given for tbe band, and then tbe same for Major Edward Willis. He was loudly oalled for, and fl.lally got upon tbe hotel counter. Beside him stood Mr. Geo. S. Kimball, captain of the Savannah "Nine." REMARES BY MAJOR WILLIS, "ag} After the loud cheering which greeted him had ceased, the Major enid : Gentlemen of the Savannah (Jlub-You have trot a bad man np; [Kimball, aside, that's me. | 1 am much pleased to see the havannah boys here, bot I tell yon again, my friends, you have gotb? the wrong person np to express the pleasure we all feel at their presence.

ALDERMAN SHALL ASP REPRESENTATIVE WEIGHT-Two RIVAL SEXTONS HAVE A SET-TO. Be it known that there is a cemetery ou Cal huun-street, and that Alderman Thomas B. Small, negro, and John B. Wright, negro, member of tho State Legislature, have for some time past bees in a most hostile attitude, each asserting that be was the rightful sexton of the cemetery, and therefore entitled to all the emoluments of the office. Ii words would exterminate people, both of these individuals would be, ai Mr. Mant ci ni used to say, nothing ont "damned bodies," and flt subjects for some rival in the sexton business. Ou Friday after? noon last, while Wrigbt was engaged in pre? paring a grave for an infant, Small cime np, and gave Wright some "mouth," which Wright returned with any amount ot "lip." Tb is ir? ritated Small to snob a degree that he forgot tbe dignity which should be observed by all Aldermen, and seizing a sounling-rod, be? labored tho "member'' to his heart's content. It is reported that Wrigbt has issued a war? rant for the arrest of Small upon the charge of assault and battery. It is farther reported that Small bis gotten a friend to draw up a resolution, to be offered at the next meeting of Council, providing that as tbs said Wright so far forgot himself os to give his "Up" to an Alderman of the "Honorable Council of the Cily of Charleston," tbe Council do resolve that ils just indignation ba heaped upon the bead of tue said Wright; that he be enjoined from having the warrant ot arrest served, and that if he do not receive the indignation wh'.ch is to be heaped on his head in the same way that be would the gentle dews from beaven, or refuse to comply with the injunction of Coun? cil, he shall be plaoed in a condition that will ouly mike him fie for tbe "wurruma." LATEB.-A later report hath it that Wrigbt on hearing of Small's resolution, ceased to take further action in tho matter, contenting himself with the bope that at the next meeting or the Legislature be would be able io bave a bill passed setting aside tbe resolution of Council._ As INJURED HUSBAND AVENGES HIS WBONGS. At niue o'clock yesterday morning a uegro nuined Charlie Jicobs, iged about twenty' years, Dod who has bceu married alout eight months, shot and killed another negro uaaied John Seabrook. The affair took place on tho tann ol Dr. Waddell, near the Four mile HOUHP, and Jacobs was immediately arrested by some negtocs and brought as far us Line street, v?on Officers Coates and Quinn, who met them there, took charge of him und locked him np in the detective cells. Jacobs states that on Friday night last he became convinced that his wife aud Seabrook were, as he bad before suspected, too intim it?. On yesteiday morning he, accompanied by Benjamin Glover, went to see Seabrook, and demanded that ho should give him satisfac? tion. Seabrook refused aud threatened to shoot him, and started into the house. Some one yclle*1 that he was going for bis gun, ard be (Jacobs) drew his revolver-a cap-cartridge pistol-a'd fired twe shots at him when be waa five paces off. Ono shot went through Sea brjok's heart, and hie died in twenty minutea. Coroner Whiting held an inquest and the jury tendered a verdict in efl".ct that the de? ceased tas murdered by Jacobs, and that Ben? jamin Glover was an accessory. It appears that Jacob;- stole tbe pistol with which he sbou the deceised. Sheriff Mackey, Lieutenant Philippy, Officers Coates, Quinn and Lovett were at the inquest, and when the verdict was rendered arrested Glover and lock? ed him np.

While ai tiing in a car on 8a urday evening aat. we orerheard a conversation between tho lassengers, relative to the late riot In Charles. on. The most prominent speaker was a gent rom Augusta, who said he had come down to Charleston to see the base ball players oa donday, and to have a hand m thrash ng the Jbarleston "niggers," who he said were not iroperly taught to keep the peace. He was aunt i n g the Charleston peope abo ^t their >eine kent in consternation by their, mruty nigger population." He said that they ought o "come to Angosta, and see how we keep hem in their places." He said ho bad comev lown tor the purpose of seeing the fuj which vas anticipated during tbe game on Monday, expecting that the negroes wonld create a Tot, or rather wo snape ct that it was the purpose of these gents to get up another dis? urbance. We suggest to these gents thai he colored people of South Carolina, are is peaceable and law abiding class of citi !ou8 as can be found in any laud} -abey .annot be made mobocrats byan the threats md taunts which may be heaped upon them to long as there areno overt acts of personal doleni e used to make them feel degradation, rhey deprecate every act, of whatever cuss of lere ons, which tends to destroy the peace and urdar of this comma ni ty ; bat us can assure mr friends from Georgia thal (here U not a trop of cowards blood in the veins cf fte South Carolina negro. He is very Jika iis former instructors and assoc tates ia ile; he has a contempt i of. life when lis rights are at stake, and whenever he Georgians want to test (keir mellie they can Ind fifty thousand in fais Slate who witt gratify heir ambilionfor a riot in five rmnu<?*. These individ?ala have been under the instructions* if Montgomery, of Kansas notoriety, and- af Benjaman F. butler, well known to tue South? ern chivalry. They have no more fear of the Georgia unreconstructed than they have of the Chinese. That class of this community are 'eady al almost any time to ??ratify those ?ano ire anxious for "a fray" They have had some experience in that Kind of thing. Yet we be? love that that class are law-abiding men, and will be thenart to break the peace, unless pro roked to defend their rights against what they regardas flagrant violations. The Savannah, papers state that the negroes in that city are kept in their places by theo* efficient poica force. They suggest "that tbs killing of % few of tho leaders wo"ld effectually put a eStrp to their insubordination." It might put a Step to it in Goorgia where tbe colored people asa not yet free, nat we doubt not that auch a course here would only, tend to, increase the trouble. Blind fury is not easily stayed; and we hope the time will never come to our city wheo such an oecmirence shall tAeplaee.' Wo counsel peace and desire the Jews to pw* the ?Taiity; for the attempt to kill thesapiweed ffniltj, in the tune of a not, frequently resolte, S the death of mora ?^oa,^? otherwise. We are glad to know that we ure in a community of white men who have more consideration for tbe welfare of the coman ii ty, anrT the maintenance of law and order, than the gratification of their hatred of the colored man. We have a ela sa of white etti* zens who know the pe pie among whom thef ' live, and whose judgment prompts them to heed not the urgings of certain hotheads, who would bring on a collision simply because a few unwise persons among the colored com? munity may happen to err oa some occasions. We are law-abiding in this State, and will make tbe laws so respected that a? riotously disposed white man may come from Georgie or any otber place to regulate oar efisirs. - Let them obey the laws when in this State, aod we shall have no reason to complain of them, and we shall be sure to compel oar citizens to dor no less than that within our borders. We? need no more turbulent spirits in tbia State than those we have now; but we heartily wish, we hid less to disturb our prosperity and tag nish our good name. LET G KO BOU KEEP ass.
