Tlic... more conscientious ami jristi

cnl saints who do desire ;to:ee the
white property owners and tax-payers
of 'twenty-seven counties placed

completely under their control. But
can oil iicated,1 reflectingjut-minded'
Northern men desire this? We say
not. Take., 'the evidence borne .by;

" Tlie writer tells how they punished
the stock and property of such offe.n-1 1
ders, destroying "fences, and turning
iiLjrtiimals to ruin the crops, or burn
ing the crops after they bave been
gathered. He saw these things or
heard of them in !the . big black!
districts still farther jSouth i .than
, North Oarolina. So much for the
"fairiies-j and sense of. right of the.
voters, v ow what doas XheJlUanUc
Montily say of the character' and in
telligence of the black voters', some of .
whom are guilty of such conduct as
is described. Hear it:
"If a man who owns a hundred sheep
could pin a ballot - into the wool of - each
- drive the flock to the. polls, and have the
oanots accepted and counted,, the process
wotita be 'voting on tue.Tjart of the sheep
as truly as ia tue carrying of tickets to the
. ballot-box by multitudes of these negroes the
exercise of the riijht of suffrage on their part.7
- Their mental relation to the act' of' voting
Hitters little from that of the sheep in , the
case supposed.1 . -

An FuiocceHfal Tentare In Turkey
:""S&ootlne. r -t
Turkey shooting . has been reduced to a
science in the Kaintuck section, but an en
thusiastic" Wilmlngtonian, : who happened,
up there a few days ago,and volunteered to
show, the people what he knew about shoot
ing turkeys with a two-trigger rifle, found
that the old thing wouldn't .work worth a
cent.; i In other words, after mature delib
eration and serious consideration having
given the matter a fair trial he came to
the conclusion, that he knew more about
running saw mills than shooting turkeys
witli a 'two-trigger rifle," y
