Meeting of Colored Citizen? to Con?
sider the take City Outrage.
T/ne colored citizens of Sumter aod coan ty
held .a large, enth?>festic mais meeting Mon?
day night at Z S Walker's Hall, to consider
tbe Lake City horror. It wee ?ell attended
and orderly. No incendiary speech?* were
made, bot a well-chosen programme waa
earned oct, consisting of speeches from their
representative leaders and aa ?table resolutions
offered condemning tbe perpetrators of the
crime of lynching Fraser 8. Baker, and com
Cimentar j to ?be ci:: zena and papers which
bare condemned aod are trying to bring to
justice the guilty parties.
W. T; Andrews was chosen chairman of
the- meenog end J. C ; Whittaker, secretary,
who made good, sensible speeebee, together
with the Rsv Messrs. H. E. Harmon, C. 0.
Jacobs, J. C Watkins aod H. M. Moozon.
The speeches were al) dispassionate, bot
stathiogl y severe in the coodemnatioa of mob
violence.
Toe following resolution* were noanimons
ry -dopted by the meeting :
Whereas, a mob of white asea did, on Feb
mary 22, brutally and cowardly murder
Postmaster Baker, of Lake City, S C.. and
did maliciously and cruelly wound and crip?
ple bit wife and bis seq and daughters, acd
did shoot and murder bis icfanv *?d did
?et fire to and burn and destroy bis dwelling
and tbe pos-office and its contents; and
whereas, said moo was actuated by hatred of
tbe colored maa, and did commit said mor?
der and outrages for political purposes in
order to overawe and intimidate colored men
io tbv enjoyment of. rights and privileges
guaranteed by tbe laws of tbe ccnntry :
Resolved. That we, tbe. colored citizens
ef Suinter County, tn mass meeting assem?
bled do moat forcibly and indignantly cen?
sure and condemn tbe outrage as a blot upon
the State and a. great cr nae agaicstan bumble
and peaceable race
That we enter oar solemn proteit against
tbe outrages, lyochings and barbarous treat
roast of oar race ; and we call upon the
Goverotaeet, State and national, to ferret
ont aod bring to justice and punishment tbe
perpetrators of sn cb crimes.
That wbtle we do cot and shall not coun?
sel say acts of violence as retaliation, we
warn those ?bo continually trample upon
os that patience with even tbe most bombie
and peaceable races ceases at some stages of
oppressions and wrongs to be a virtue.
That we believe such atrocities ?s that at
Lake City grow ont of that intolerant spirit
which exists in tbe minds of those who do
sot believe and intend that tbe colored man
8sall bold office aod enjoy the privileges
which tbe laws of tbe State aod tbe United
Stages grant bim, and tbat the refraining of
ins Administration from appointing colored
men to office would tend to encourage and
recognize roch intolerance and injustice.
We, therefore, call noon aod arge tbe Ad
ministration to appoint members of our race
to positions of honor and trost wherever char
acr*r and ability warrant it.
Taat we deoy that Po?tmaster Baker was
incompetent, ignorant or without character ;
and recite the fact that he bas before held
afficr, ?nd feat be was a school teacher, and
held a certificate of character and qualifica?
tion from a board of school officers.
Resolved farther, That we commend Vzoe?
white citizens of our State who have, bv
meetings and resolutions, condemned tbe*e
031rages; and that we eland ready So am
with them in ?ll things for peace and a kind
ly- feehog between the races v
Bat we except from this paragraph of c? m
meodation any. resol o tiona of the people of
Lake City, aod bold them, one and all, res?
ponsible for the horrible ontraee.
We feel grateful to those journals of co
State and city. Tbe News and Courier, tbe
Colombia State and tbe Sumter city papers,:
which nave constantly condemned and cried
OOt against snch outrages.
Resolved, That we cenaoie and resent tie
statement of those j oom als wbieh, like tba
' Colombia Register, endeavor to excuse and
palliate a horrible crime by charging its res?
ponsibility upon the Chief Executive, aod
Other public men of tbe conn try
We commend tbe President aod bis Cabi?
net for tba bold stand so far takes io thelmaT
tar.
Resolved further, That we orge colored
meo throughout the coon try to so act as to
summand respect in business and politics ;
sad to refrain from all bosiness relations, as
?aras possible, with those individ?ale or
communities, who, in soy manner, favor or
assist, arge or countenance mob or lynch
law. \
And, lastly, we call opon colored meo in
every city, town, community and bamlet, to
band themselves together ?oto anti-?ynehin*
association* for motoal protection, and for
resistance to mob law.
Af te.* adoption of reso'otion a contribution
of five dollars was received for tbe relief af

ored hospital In Charleston.
Lawson Helton Unexpectedly
Made Marshal cf Sou th Caro?
lina
Washington, March 10 -Special- to
the News and Courier President
Kinley sprang a snrprise on the Sooth
Carolina colony to-day by appoint?
ing Lawson Melton to tbe marsbalship
Melton bas been here for some time quietly
seeking an appointment either under the At
toreey General or in Sooth Carolina. H*
was not supposed to be io the running for
?be marsbalship, and tbe Palmetto Repnbl -
car a are to-nigbt scratching their beads ar.d
wondering bow it bappeeed.
G. Washington Mprray, accompanied by
Geo. W. Reardon who is an applicant for
tbe postmastersbip at Sumter, and S. E
Smith, of Aiken, who ia one of Murray's
colored lieutenant*, called at the department
of justice early this mo-ningwo inform At?
torney General Griggs tbat alt of tbe Aoti
WeMterites bad united io endorsing State
Chairman Tolbert for tbe marsbalship. Mur?
ray was proceeding to enligbtto tbe new At?
torney General on the subject of Republican
politics io Sooth Carolina, when be w?s
suddenly checked io his eloqaeuwdiscourse by
the Attorney Geoera', who in'ostsed the as?
tonished SJO tb Carolinians that uawson Mel too
had been selected as marshal; aod the Presi?
dent would probably send bis nomination to
tbe Senate to-day.
Tbe Murray delegation could not refrain
from showing their pleasure at the defeat of
Mr. Cunningham, wbo was Boss Webster's
friend, and they accordingly assured the
Attorney General that the appointment of
Meltoo would give general satisfaction to tbe
Republicans of S<*utb Carolina, who were
growing weary of Boss Webster; and bis
ravs'erious fxethods. The Murray delegation
theo proceeded to tbe White House to i o for m
the President of their acquiescence in th*
selection of Melton. Murray also took occa?
sion to tell the President that Boss Webster i*
a tboro io the side of nearly all the promi
oent Republicans in the State, and the sooner
be ?a relieved from political dictatorship the
better it will he for the party He also said
a few kind words (or Mr. Reardon in connec?
tion with the Somter post office
Tbe defeat of Mr George I. Cunningham i>

Otto or Attar of Roses.
Roses being so common, it may be
imagined . how small the yield of oil
must be to account for a quoted price of
86 shillings an ounce, or about ?28 pe?
pound, and this to the chemist himself.
What it r?solves itself into as a retail
price is hardly worth going into, as a
retail demand-beyond an occasional
drop at sixpence upon a handkerchief,
upor. a special occasion-is unknown,
its chief cse being in scenting powders
and the making np of fancy compound
scents. Ten thousand pounds, or nearly
five tons, of roses it takes to obtain a
pound of the oil. These are distilled
with twice their bulk of water, and the
attar skimmed-very carefully skimmed
-off the surface of the distillate in the
receiving vessel. The adulterator has
again here a field for action, which he
avails himself of, in distilling a propor?
tion of g?ranium flowers, the oil of which
has a somewhat similar rosy smell,
with the roses, this paying, in that it
takes bnt the comparatively humble
number of 500 geranium flowers to
yield a pound of their oil.
Constantinople being a port of ship?
ment, sailors," after their usual amiable
weakness of being swindled, buy cheap?
ly there, for presentation to apprecia?
tive wives and sweethearts ct heme,
long, narrow, gilded bottles of supposed
attar of roses, in reality bottles which
the genuine article has been poured in?
to and out again and then filled with a
clear, scentless oil of the same appear?
ance and specific gravity as the true,
the few remaining drops clinging to the
interior of the bottle being streng
enough to. convince the smelling buyer
that he has got the right thing on the
spot -^-Chambers' Journal.
Lamps of the London Cabs.
"A thing that struck me about the
hansom cabs in Lcndon-this was some
years ago, but I guess it's just the same
now," said a citizen of this town, "was
the fact that the lamps they carried all
had in the back a red glass about as big
as the end of a good sized spool. When
tiie lamps were lighted at night, they
all showed these two little red disks at
the rear. I don't know wny this is so
maybe the lamps are all by one maker
and it's his fancy - but I imagine
there's a reason for it. Anyhow tho
effect is picturesque, whether the cabs
are seen singly or in numbers. In tho
Strand, for instance, one may see deng
lines of hansoms, all headed one way
and close together. Looking along these
lines from the rear ono sees an unbroken
series of red lights diminishing in the
perspective, and one sees also the little
red lights flitting here and there. They
don't illuminate, but their color cer?
tainly contributes to the variety and the
gayety of the night scene.
"Ona sees these red lights at turerear
of a ??ew York hansom, but only occa?
sionally. Our hansoms are mo it of them
well finished and .mounted, many of
them, for instance, carrying fine lamps;
but not many of them show the red
disks. Perhaps there's no reason why
they should, but I like to see them. "

Mea ?ad ?Horses Killed In Battle.
In regular battles the proportion of
loss among men and horses is quite
olose, and in hand to hand combat? of
cavalry, as well as in sharp artillery
engagements, for every man killed or
wounded there-is also a dumb warrior
entitled to a place beside him on the
roll of honor. The Light brigade at
Balaklava rode in 660 (not 600) strong
and lost 288 men, but of the 660 horses
360 were shot down by the Bussian
guns.
?In the fierce charges of the German
uhlans and cuirassiers at Vi on ville,
Mars-la-Tour, in 1870, 1,400 men and
1,600 horses were killed and wounded.
In the fierce artillery contest on the
same field 730 men and over 1,000
horses fell around the guns. At Grave?
lotte, soon after Mars-la-Tour, the artil?
lery fighting was also terrible, and
1,800 horses were shot down around the
batteries, though the loss of the artiller?
ists was less than 1,000.-Our Animal

A Standard of ?fttness.
He is a man of irascible impulses and
a bluntness of speech which wins him
many enemies. At the card table he was
greatly annoyed by a lady who insisted
on paying more attention to conversa?
tion than she did to the game.
"I see no reason, " she was saying,
"why a woman should not assume just
as much importance in all affairs as
men do."
"I see none myself, " replied the iras?
cible man with unusual gentleness,
"provided she is intellectually qualified
to do so."
"And what wculd yon suggest as the
lest of her mental fitness?"
"As good a test as any would be her
ability to remember what are trumps."

A Boston newspaper complains that
the famous Bunker Hill monument,

creation of man in this country, has
now become quite insignificant in
