BLOODY WORK IN GEOBUBTOWN . The Beauties of , Badleal Iteforina tlon A Desperate Picht Between the Two Wines sf the Party. Charleston News. A gentleman, who . arrived in the , city from Georgetown, gives us the following particulars of a bloody riot which occurred in that town on Wed nesday last. I The great u un washed constituency of the county are about evenly divided into two factions, one led by W. IL. Jones, the negro State Senator, and the other by Jas. Bow ley, the negro Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee t in the last llouse"of Representatives. The war between these two 'worthies, both of whom go in heavily for reform, has been waged with bitter enmity for some time. V eunesuay u cuimi- i nated in a bloody riot, which was still in progress when onr informant left. It seems that a negro convention had been called to nominate delegates to the Republican county convention, which meets in Georgetown on Tues day next. Jones and Bowley . had their adherents present in full- force, a:ui, as is usual in Republican conven tions, a dispute arose front the very outset upon j the question of elect ing a chairman. JJpon this im portant point the new Reformers couldn't agree. In - the dispute, a West India negro, named R.'M. He riot, who goes by the soubriquet of Upper Top, and who is one of the . shining lights of the Jones wing of the Reformers, became exceedingly sioisy and demonstrative. This pro voked the ire of one of the Bowley ites, who forthwith drew out a pistol and proceeded to empty the contents of it into the carcass of the obnoxious Upper Top. His aim was not very accurate, however, and the first shot missed its intended destination and mortally wounded a man who was standing near. Another Bo wleyite, however, made a dead set upon the tinfortuuate Upper Top and laid him out with a chair. His example was sjeedily followed by the other Bow ley reformers, one of whom pulled out his weapon and emptied its v con tents into the skull of another Jones negro, whose name is not known. While this naild by-play was going on liowley.'who was present, kept wi-ll in the background, and out of harm's way. Junes was hot present stt all. These little eccentricities had the effect of destroying the harmony " of the meeting, which broke up in a row. The delegates made a bolt for the street, and when our informant left there was a fair prospect of a bloody fight. Supreme Court Deelnions. The following opinions wer6 filed r.nlFViday, the 7th: iDuvaU vs. Rollins, from Ashe, By- uum, J., delivering opinion. ID n vail vs. Rollins, 68 N.

Mitchell et al. Vs. Trustees; of .Town ship No. ; 8, from Craven. Judg ment reversed. - Reade, J deliv ering opinion The Trustees of a township have no power to lexy and collect taxes, since the passage of the Act, Chap, cvi., Laws of 187C-,74. Even where -the taxes were ordered before the. 'passage of this act, they cannot now be collected under an order to collect made bv the Trustees of the township. 'The same act, sec. 3, provides another way for paying the necessary i ex ; penses of the township , which frees tne repealing act from tne ODjecuon of violating contracts. .N. C.

The Alarm of Fire Sunday Night, fi On Sunday night, about 8$ o'clock, soon after services had commenced in the vari ous churches, the alarm of fire was sounded and was found to have its origination in the upholstering and paper hanging establish- ment of White & Zimmerman, next door to the corner of Second and Princess streets. The flames and smoke were first seen issu ing from a window on the South side I of the building by a colored man who was passing. He called to a policeman near: at hand and the two ' together, accom panied by a colored woman, went ihto the yard and by the vigorous amplica tion of water from a pump near by he flames were soon extinguished. In the meantime, however, the engines were pro ceeding to the scene of the .fire, when they were met" by the announcement that it was all out. After the fire was out, so far f as could be ascertained from the outside, find neither of the proprietors being present the time, the front door was burst open see if everything was safe on the inside. at to It was found that a mattress tick which' was lying on a sewing machine near where the fire occurred was the only thing materially damaged. . I'-; The fire was evidently the work of -anfin cendiary, as it could be seen where a piece of the tin with which the outside of the building is covered had been partially-re moved and the fire put through. the crevce. The tracks of the incendiary were also traced to the point where he jumped the fence. i -4 ! The services at the different .churches were considerably disturbed, but all pro ceeded to the close, many of the persons who left having soon returned. j i IMayor'M Court.

We have been furnished by the Engineer and Superintendent of the Carolina Central Railway with the following facts in refer ence to the culvert on that road, referred to in our last as having, as we understood, come tear causing an accident on Saturday: "The facts are as follows: There is a nr mlvprt of a very superior character nearly completed at the point nameo dui tho- tmrb f at oresent carried over! the break on a trestle, about zo ieetiong, wmcu was and is In good order, so tar as sajevy is mnpprnpH.

Having ascertained that Hon. A. A. Mc Koy, our newly elected Judge, was in this city on a brief visit, the Wilmington Cornet Concert Club improvised a serenade in his honor in front of the Purcell House last night. After playing several beautiful airs Judje McKoy was loudly called for and in response appeared upon the verandah of the hotel and delivered a short but impres sive speech, in which he took occasion to refer to the recent glorious victory achieved by the friendsof good government in this State, and to thank his friends for the flat tering manifestation of their interest. At the close of Judge McKoy's brief ad dress, which was enthusiastically applauded, coupled with cheers for the champion of the Fourth Judicial District, Mr. James T. Legrand, Senator elect from the Twenty Sixth Senatorial District, composed of the counties of Richmond and Montgomery, who was present and stopping at the same hotel, was called upon and responded in a short but cheering speech, in which he re ferred in fitting terms to the great triumphs which the Conservatives of the State had gained in the great struggle just ended, and more particularly in the counties which he is to represent, where an almost hopelessly Radical majority was overcome. After leaving the hotel the band, follow ed by quite a number of their friends, visit ed the residences of Maj. M. P.. Taylor, Sol. Bear, Esq., and others, retiring to their hall about 11 o'clock. A New Oodse. Mr. Bradley George, residing on Pervine's Citck, in Masonboro Township, was made the victim of "misplaced confidence" on Saturday evening last. He had laid in a number of purchases and was about start ing for home, when a colored individual came up and asked if he could put a few bundles in bis cart until they had srot to the edge of the town. The request was acceded to, and by this time another colored man came up and preferred a similar request, which was also granted. This was in front .of Mr. J. C. Kock's store on Front street, and it is supposed that they here removed the pin which held one of the wheels in place. At all events Mr. George baa only proceeded to a point near the cor. ner of Front and Church streets, about op posite Mr. Nat. Fowler's residence, when the wheel came off, and the cart tumbled over. : Mr. George obtained a candle and proceeded to look for the missing pin with which to secure the wheel, followed by one of the men, and upon returning he found that a pair of shoes had been stolen by the man who remained behind and also some $4 or $5 in money, with perhaps other articles. He remarked as much to the man who who was with him, who volunteered to arrest the other individual who was standing not far off, and he went up to him as if with that intention, but after tussling for a few minutes they both disappeared. Mr. G. ; was unarmed and there being no assistance near he could do nothing towards arresting the parties, who were entire strangers to him, nor in recovering his goods. Meeting To-Nlfcbt.

Montgomery, of Myrtle Grove Sound, in this county, brought into our of fice yesterday several specimen bolls of Peeler Cotton, which were as fine in appear ance as any we have ever seen. We learn that Mr. R. E. Heide's cotton, at his plantation near this city, is also open ing very finely. Tnreatenlne to Kill His Wile.

Goldsboro Messenger: Mr. Ben nett May, an old citizen of Pitt, died sud denly on Thursday of appoplexy. As completed the Yarborough House, at Raleigh, has one hundred and twenty-five rooms elegantly furnished. There is a proposition looking to consolidating the two Lodges of Knights of Pythias in Goldsboro into one strong Lioage. Many of editorial fraternity have turned over their papers to the devil or any other man, and departed to the springs. Gov. Walker, of Va., and a party of friends passed through Charlotte Saturday to inspect the King's Mountain gold mines. Mr. C. E. Allen, a native of this State, and member of the firm of L. Green & Co., Petersburg, Va., died quite sudden ly in that" city last Saturday. In a fight about a watch, be tween Squire Harris, colored, and Harrv Lyons, of the same persuasion, Harris was critically gashed on the temple. Three colored Forts went into the cattle stealing business at Goldsboro last week, but the thing didn't stop until they were well fortified in Wayne jail. On Sunday before last a little son of Mr. Isaac W ethington, of Pitt coun ty, while shooting at a snake accidently shot and instantly killed a voune son of Mr. W. B. Phillips. Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, of Raleigh, have determined to visit Portsmouth, Va., on the 7th September, and the Virginians will no doubt give the North Carolinians a warm welcome. Milton Chronicle : The last seen of Billy Henderson he was mounted on Darr's mule behind Daniel Johnson, and going up Salt River. Bason held the mule by the tail while he glided up the stream. Died at Lexington, Va., Aug. 8th, Miss Mary Kirkpatrick, wife of Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick, the former President of Davidson College. This most excellent lady had many warm friends in this State, who mourn her decease. The Messenger says Mr. Thos. W. Slocumb has been appointed agent of the W. & W. R. R. at that place in the place of Mr. S. L. Galloway, resigned. Mr. Galloway takes a position, says that pa per, on the Carolina Central Railway. Statesville American: The re sult of the election in this State surprises no one. The Republicans did not expect to elect their candidates. How could they? The "Civil Rights" Republicans of the North formed an alliance with tbe Ku Klux Democrats of the State under the banner of that odious and accursed measure, as if on purpose to insure a defeat of the Repub licans of the State, and behold the result! Goldsboro Messenger : It is truly gratifying to us to hear the encouraging re ports about the crops in this section, es pecially tbe growing cotton. Prospects were never more nattering, and the farmers generally look pleasing. And well they may. - The county court . house records show that less than one-third of the mort gages recorded there last year have been registered this year. Truly encouraging. Goldsboro Messenger: It sur prises us to see that many of the colored people, hereabouts, since the election, ex press fears and even alarm for their future. There is no cause for any such uneasiness. We can assure them that they have better friends in office now than, they had before men who will not even attempt to de prive them of any of their political rights, or rights before the law, who will act in justice, in kindness,, in -moderation with them. Nothing will be done to in jure their race, or to deprive them of a single right they now enjoy, or that is compatible with the peace and welfare of society.' DIED. . ARTHUR At Port Henry, N.
