VOL. VI
Another Rltous Demonstration-Difficulty
Between the Police and the Colored Troops
At ahout 8 o'clock night heron last, there was
another disturbance between ti e police and c..!.rel
troops, which at ous tin e threatened the most serious
consequences.
We have made every effort to obtain a true account
of the affair, in order that no Injustice should be done
eltbrr party, but that the whole truth may be laid
before our citizens and others properly interested in
the preservation of law and order. To this end we
republish the following paragraph from yesterday's
local column:
"Yesterday afternoon a Sergeant attempted to
arrest one of his men, a negro sildier of the 16th
Heavy Artillery, who was druuk near the market,
when the latter drew his knife aud resisted. Officer
Brinsou, of the police force, was near at the time, and
went to the assistance of the Sergeant. The drunken
man turned his attention to the policeman , and while
the latter was warding off the strokes of the knife,
policeman Tisdale came up and n truck the soldier
down with his baton, injuring the baton very severe
ly. The disabled soldier was conveyed to the Pro
vost Marshal's office in an insensible condition."
This seems to have been the starting point In the
disturbance. The friends of the arrested soldier
spoke in no gentle terms of the summary manner of
his arrest, and were loud and noisy in their curses of
the police. It became necessary to send a strong
force of policemen on Hancock street, and about the
market, and their presence restored order for the time
This was about four o'clock 'n the afternoon.
Later in the evening a policeman arrested a disor
derly soldier in tne 6th vVard, near Muddy and Pol
lock streets, when a colored Sergeant attempted to
rescue him from the policeman. In this attempt he
was shot, it is supposed by th latter, and badly
wounded. This was soon known auioog the colored
tro- ps, and the wildest excitement iook possession of
them.
Col. Bernstein immediately sent an order to Fort
Totten, aud had the remainder of the regiment
brought into town. They were put on daty at
once, patroling the streets and picking up those en
gaged in the disturbance. By this means, quiet was
restored before 10 oclock.
Policeman Feltiss, contrary to instruction), left the
station house and went on Craven street. He was
challenged by the guard at Graven street y), and or
dered to halt. He tailed to do o, and the guard shot
him, the musket ball entering his left shoulder in the
rear and passing out in front. The wound is said
to be dangerous.
We retrain all comment upon this affair for obvious
reasons. It seems to us plain, howev er, that a re
currence of these riots might be easily prevented.
So says the Netobem Times.
The Fayetteville Affair Once More.
The Fayetteville News gives a very different
statement from that we copied from the Wilming
ton Herald, respecting recent difficulties in the
former place. As a matter of fairness, we transfer
to our columns the article of the News :
11 It is said that the freedmen of this town have
entered complaint as to their treatment since the
departure of the Federal garrison which was on
duty here ; and that they have expressed the fear
that great wrongs will be visited on them unless
the military authorities send to their relief a force
of their own color for their protection. Let us ex
amine this subject and see how their treatment
since the departure of the garrison has compared
with their treatment whilst it was in our midst.
Then they were corrected by the military author
ities of the post, for all crimes and misdemeanors ;
and no act of stealing or other misbehavior was
suffered to go unpunished.
When the military left, the citizens were unan
imous in the wish that no more soldiers should be
sent here ; and to conduct themselves with such
distinguished loyalty as might evince a purpose to
do everything properly, and that it would be man
ifestly unnecessary for the authorities to send any
more troops here was their first aim and purpose.
They submitted cheerfully to all the requirements
of the Federal authorities, endeavored to repress all
disorder, and first of all they were careful to do no
injustice to the freedman in his new relations to
them as citizens of a common country and com
mon government.
This kindly disposition on the part of the white
citizen was not met in the proper spirit by the
freedmen; and with a desire to be sustained in
their lawless wishes and to have the countenance of
a military force of like col r, like ingratitude and
like instincts with themselves, in the commission of
criminal and disorderly action, they petitioned the
authorities at Raleigh to send them a protecting
force of colored troops, alledging that they enter
tained fears for their personal safety and were anx
ious lest the whites should do them gross wrong
and injustice, unless intimated by the presence of
j negroe soldiers.
To give them no shadow of a foundation for
i complaint, even when detected and convicted in
ithe commission of larceny, there was a feeling of
j opposition to their punishment by the same laws
land penalties which were in force for similar misde-
meanors on the part of whites,
The old theory before the order of Gen: Scho
! field recognized their rights as Freedmen, was that
! it was unnecessary to give them trial except for
! capital offenses, as the power was vested in the
i master to administer punishment adequate to the
1 offence. The white man and free man ol color
Icouldonly be punished by the findings of a txmrt,
I which, however, when it did convict a man of steal
ling under the North Carolina code awarded him
inine and thirty lashes at the public whipping post
That code was in existence prior to the 20th
May, 1861, and is still the code of the State. A
white man guilty of larceny would oe punished now
in accordance with its provisions. Then why
should the negro possess any immunity from like
! punishment?
j If the Provost Marshal of this town while the
garrison was here had the right to tie a white man
!up to a lamp post for selling liquor, if he had the
(right to punish negro offenders in a like manner,
iwhy should not the commandant of the Local Po
lice administer similar punishment to negroes for
RALETGH, FRIDAY, AUG.
THE CITY,
i
Youno Amebica in tble Ring Regular Wae- !
fare. Last Wednesday afternoon a regular war was
inaugurated between the white children attached to
several schools in the city, and those new pests, the
"piccaninies," in which the latter were successfully
vanquished . '
It is stated to us upon authority which we deem
entirely reliable that for several days preceding the
opening of actual hostilities, juvenile darkies, and
some of the same complexion who were old enough
to know better, had engaged in the work of hurling
epithets of a most insulting nature at the white chil
dren. It was with difficulty that their teacher re
strained the youngsters from instant resentment of
this outrageous affront ; but the negro school boys
continued to repeat time and again the same offence,
until on the day mentioned "Young America" grew
too impetuous for check, and raking the war cry,
charged Africa with such success as would have done
credit to Lee or Grant. In the first OLset, there was
an appearance of purpose to receive and check the
assailants ; but it was only momentary : moving for
ward in solid phalanx, the new fledged students
cowered before the pale faces and made a hasty re
treat as any witnessed on various fields we could
mention.
We hear that clubs, pistols and stones were used
with prodlgous effect against the retreating enemy ;
a number were captured.and others long before being
brought to bay begged most piteously for quarters.
The ipshot of the matter is, that the . darkies gen
erally are too large for their breeches, and the great
est trouble of their Instructors will be found In the
task of impressing them with proper ideas of their
present position and relation to society. It is not
difficult to see that unless this can be accomplished,
serious consequences will ultimate from what may
now be esteemed only ebullitions of frolic. We do
not ask special endeavors in that direction In the in
terest of the white population. We are the pre
dominant race in the South in intelligence, power and
rights, and will always so remain ; but we desire to
see the negroes prosper and receive kind , treatment,
mstfairoi pursuing a course which will result in their
extermination upon principles differing very little
from those applied to the Indian nationality.
To be Mustered Out. Among other troops to
be mustered out In this department, are the following :
Third, Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth New York,
and Fourth New Hampshire Infantry, stationed In or
near the suburbs of this city.
The Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, sta
tioned at Gaston and Weldon.
Thirteenth Indiana Infantry on duty at Goldsboro.
Second Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, on duty at
Sroithvllle aud vicinity.
Another regiment, whose name and station we did
not learn, will probably complete the number of
8000 ordered to be mustered out.
It will gladden the boys to know that they are
going to nativity to renew old friendehips and enter
again upon those pursuits which must be far more
congenial to the taste than war. We wish them all a
good time.
