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?>

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.

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

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.!

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. The
crowd of whites increased until
two or three hundred were present.
< >f course the neepo had esi
caped. Then a number of over j
zeidoti* I'ed Shirts proceeded to1
perforate the atmosphere with
W inchester bullets. Nobody wa?
hurt, and no attempt was made!
i by the whites to hurt anybody.)
