LOCAL DOTS. une , marriage license was issued yesterday to a colored couple Caroline Dudley and Caleb Merrick. The regular, bona fide mail cir culation of The Morning Star is larger than the mail circulation of all other Wiltningtont Dailies combined. Notwithstanding the stirring times incident to an election, there was not a single case before the Mayor yes terday, and only one in the Justices' cpurts. Hon. John D. Bellamy re ceived many telegrams yesterday con gratulating him on his splendid vic tory. They came from six different States. The Wilmington cotton market declined one-eighth yesterday, being quoted at the closing on the basis of middling at 4 cents. The receipts were 3,702 bales; corresponding day last year. 1,719 bales; corresponding price last year 5X cents. The i roosters seemed to have caught the news of victory Tuesday night. It was a strange fact, but nevertheless true, that they began crowing in some sections of tUe city at 12 o'clock Tuesday night and kept it up almost incessantly until yesterday noon. Justice Fowler had only one case yesterday, that of George Robert son, colored, an employe of the Cham pion Compress. The charge was aban donment and he was committed to jail in default of a $50 bond -for his appear ance at the next term of the Criminal Court. NEW HANOVER COUNTY VOTE. nierestiog Deductions Made From the Vote Recorded in the Clerk of tbe Supeiior Court's Office. The oflicial vote for New Hanover coanty will be p3claimed to-day and will be annouced in to morrow morning's paper. Though the total vote for each candidate in New Hanover county has not yet been com puted, the Star is able to give the following with almost absolute accu racy : For the Senate William J. Davis, Democrat, 3,385; R B. Davis, Repub lican, 2,118. William J. Davis' ma jority, 1,267. ' For Congress. Jno. T. Bellamy, Democrat 2,817; O. H. Dockery, Re publican, 2553. Bellamy's majority 264. For Solicitor. Rodolph Duffy, Democrat, 2,802; M. C. Richardson, Fusion, 2.640. Duffy's majority 162. For Judge Criminal JCourt. Dor- sey Battle, Demecrat, 2,802; Thos. H. Sutton 2,639. Battle's majority 163. For Judge of the Superior Court Geo. H. Brown, Democrat, 2,904; Augustus M. Moore. Republican, 2.- 571. Brown's majority 333. For Clerk of the Superior Court of New Hanover county, Col. John D. Taylor received 2,769 votes. There was of course no opposition to the county ticket. The above will give a fair idea of the county's vote, and it is unnecessary to report that the result is very satis factory to ever lover of good govern ment. m ' ) ANOTHER NEGRO OUTRAGE. Squad of Negroes Opened Fire on a Street Car Last Nigbt. The persistent attacks of negroes on street cars at night has, in a measure, rendered travel by this mode of public conveyance dangerous to the extreme. That this state of affairs can and must stopped every good citizen is deter mined. Yesterday morning the Star told the story of the stoning of a car Tuesday night, in which Mr. Gafford, a passen ger, was hit with a brick, and this is followed up by the attack made by a squad of four or five negroes last night near the corner of Ninth and Orange streets. The car was No. 4, in charge of Conductor Shaw, who was on the same car which was attacked several nights ago over in "Brooklyn." Messrs. E. V. Richards and Hardy Le- G-win were passengers on the car last night, and incidentally noticed four or five negroes standing on the corner above named. On their approach the negroes fired five shots at the car, all the balls, fortunately, taking effect in the trucks and lower gearing. These gentlemen, with conductor and mo torman, . immediately -jumped to the ground and returned the fire on the negroes,- who, after committing the dastardly act, fled. They are not known and of course np;arrests were made. As to Mr. BJs' Successor. 4 Mr. W. M. Lewis, the State secretary of the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation work, will arrive here to-day to look into the matter of procuring a successor to Mr. T. C. Diggs as secre tary of the Wilmington Association. Mr. Diggs' resignation ;tafces eueci 10- day, but he informed a Stab reporter yesterday that he would not leave the cityfor Richmond in a week or more, and will continue to do the work of secretary until he learns if the trustees are not able to supply a secretary be fore that time. - 3 CITIZENS AROUSED. Large Mass Meeting -ef Business Men Held in the Court House. EMPHATIC DEMAND MADE That the Editor of the Infamous Daily Record Leave the City and Remove His Plant An Ultimatum Sent by Committee. The negro daily, the Record, and its contemptible editor, and the press on which the vile sheet has been printed cannot continue in- Wilmington longer. And never again shall negro rule dominate this city! That was the unanimous decision of representa tive white men of the city, assembled in a mass meeting nearly a thousand strong, yesterday. And every man of them stands ready to execute in detail the provisions of the resolutions which the meeting adopted, cost what it may. At 7 o'clock this morning certain negroes will report to a committee rep resenting the white citizens as to whether or not the provisions of the resolution will be peaceably complied with. If they are not hundreds of armed men will be called into service to force compliance. The Mass Meeting. That was indeed a great meeting at the court house yesterday. The spacious court room was nteraiiy packed with white men, representing the boae and sinew of this city. Then, too, there wasv another great throng, almost as many again, just as true and just as good representatives of Wilmington's manhood, out in the wide lobby and on the stairway and landings, who could not get into the court room at all. The meeting was called to order at a few minutes'past 11 o'clock by unani- mious call upon Col. A. M. Waddell to take the chair. Col. Waddell went forward to the Judge's desk and grace fully and in chosen sentences accepted the honor conferred upon him. He said it afforded him great pleasure to b8 called to preside over a mass meet iDg of white citizens of Wilmington after the remarkable campaign, 'the result of which was an assertion of the right of white men to have the supremacy. Representatives of the press were called upon to serve as secre taries. . Those who served were Mr. E. P. Bell, of the Chicago Record; Mr. N. O. Messenger, of the Washington Star; Mr. Augustus Kohn, of the Charleston Neics and Courier ; Mr. T. W. Clawson, of the Wilmington Mes senger, ana air. wiuiam j. Aiarun, or the Morning Star. Col. Waddell, as chairman, read the following resolutions which have no uncertain ring and were received with demonstrations of universal enthusi asm, to wit: Tbe Resolutions. Believing that the Constitution of the United States contemplated a gov ernment to be carried on by an en lightened people; believing that its framers did not anticipate the enf ran chisement of an ignorant population of African origin, and believing that those men of the State of North Car olina, who joined in forming the Union, did not contemplate for their decendants a subjection to an inferior race. We, the undersigned citizens of the city of Wilmington and county of New Hanover, do hereby declare that we will no longer be ruled, and will never again be ruled, by men of African origin. This condition we have in part endured because we felt that the consequences of the war of secession were such as to deprive us of the fair consideration of many of our countrymen. We believe that, after more than thirty years, this is no longer the case. The stand we now pledge ourselves to is forced upon us suddenly by a crisis, and our eyes are open to the fact that we must act now or leave our descendants to a fate too gloomy to be borne. While we recognize the authority of the United States and will yield to it if exerted, we would not for a moment believe that it is the purpose of more than 60,000,000 of our own race to subject us permanently to a fate to which no Anglo-Saxon has ever been forced to submit. We, therefore, believing that we represent unequivocally the senti ment of the white people of this county and city, hereby for ourselves and as representing them proclaim : 1. That tne time nas passed tor tne intelligent citizens of this Community, owning 95 per cent, of the property and paying taxes in like proportion, to be ruled by negroes. 2. That we will not tolerate the ac tion of unscrupulous white men in affiliating with the negroes, so that by means of their votes they can domi nate the intelligent and thrifty ele ment in the community, thus causing business to stagnate and progress to be out of the question. 3. That the negro has demonstrated, by antagonizing our interests in every way. and especially by his ballot, tnat he is incapable of realizing that his interests are and should be. identical with those of the community 4. That the progressive element in any community is the white popula tion and that the giving of nearly all of the employment to negro laborers has been against the best interests of this county and city and is a sufficient reason why the city of Wilmington, witn its natural advantages, nas not become a city of at least fifty thousand inhabitants. 5. That we propose in future to give to white men a large part of the em-. ployment heretofore given to negroes, because we realize that white families cannot thrive, here , unless there are more opportunities for employment for the different members of said families. 6. That the white men expect to live in this community peaceably ; to have and provide-absolute protection for their families, who shall be safe from insult or injury from all persons, whomsoever. We are prepared to treat the negroes with justice and con sideration in all matters, which do not involve-sacrifice of the interests of the "' MORNfiv N. C.; THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, intelligent and progressive portion of the community.. But are equally pre pared now and. immediately to enforce what we know to he our rights. 7. That we have been, in -eur desire for harmony and peace, blinded both to our best interests and our rights. A climax was reached when the negro paper of this city published an article so vile and slanderous that it would in most communities have resulted in the lynching of the editor. . We dep recate lynching and yet there is .no punishment, provided by the courts, adequate for this offence. We, there fore, owe it to the people of .this com munity and of this city, as a protec tion against such license in future, that the paper known as the "Record" cease to be published and that its edi tor be banished from this community. We demand that he leave this city, within twenty-four hours after 'the. issuance of this proclamation. Second,' that the printing press from which the necora ' nas been issued be racked and shipped from the citv without delay, and that we be notified, within twelve houis of the acceptance or re jection of this demand. If tha demand is agreed to, within twelve hours we counsel forbearance on the part of all white man. If the demand is refused or if no answer is given within the time mentioned, then the editor, Manly, will be expalled by force. When the reading of the resolution was concluded and tne cneers naa somewhat subsided Mr. S. H. Fish- blate moved the following amendment : "That Mayor S. P. Wright, the Chief of Police and the entire Board of Aldermen be required to vacate also." This motion did not meet the ap proval of the meeting and was vigor ously opposed by Mr. Geo. Rountrce, Mr. Junius Davis and others, who counselled moderation aud expressed confidence that the people would not et their enthusiasm run away with their j-eason in the commission of acts which would not meet with the appro val of the outside world. A motion by Mr. Geo. Rountree, providing that a committee of five be appointed t j examine the resolutions and suggest such changes or amend ments as they deemed best prevailed. And the following gentlemen . were named by the chair: Geo. Rountree, Esq,, Iredell Meares, Esq , Hugh Mc Rae. Col. Walker Taylor and Mr. S. H. Fishblate. While the committee was out con sidering the resolutions Col. Waddell, in response to calls for a speech, said that the occasion was no time for speech making. The pot, he said, needs no more boiiiag, all that is needful now is for each citizen to quietly discharge his duty and not violate law and order utiless forced to it. He said he was sr that when a person was notified that the people were sure it would be very much best for him to leave the city, he would hasten to obey. There were calls for Hon. Jno D. Bellamy, whom Col, Waddell intro duced as the Congressman from the Sixth district. He was received with great enthusiasm and made a brief but ringing speech. He thanked the people for their support, which assured to him the great honor of bs ing elected to Congress the , first native-born Wilmingtonian to fill that high office. He advised moderation in every act. "The eyes of the worhL" he said, "are upon us. Any rash4 act will reflect upon our conservatism. P. B, Manning Esq., in a very excellent , speech urged moderation and declared that the reason why the peo ple of Wilmington had not avenged the Record's vile slander long befpr now was that in the presence of the great work of the campaign they had not had the time. "We could no more have stopped in the arduous work of the campaign to administer deserts to the negro Manly," declared Mr. Manning, "than could the Light Brigade have paused in their glorious charge on the battlefield of Balaclava to chastise a vile cur which chanced to cross their path." In speaking of Mr. Fishblate's resolution he declared that to adopt such a measure would be an archy. The Legislature, said he, will soon meet and make a clean sweep of the City Hall, from top to bottom. The committee to examine and re port back the resolutions had returned to the court room when Mr. Manning concluded his speech. Mr. Rountree, as spokesman, reported the resolutions as read by Uol. waddell, witn one amendment. The whole was re-read and unanimously adopted amidst the greatest enthusiasm. The amendment is as follows 'It is the sense of this meeting that Mayor S P. Wright and Chief of Police Jno. R. Melton, having de monstrated their utter incapacity to give tne city a decent government and keep order therein, their con tinuance in office being a constant menace to tne peace and weitare or this community, they ought forthwith to resign. Executive Committee. The mass meeting next authorized Col. Waddell to appoint a committee of twenty-live citizens to direct the execution of the provisions of the resolutions. The following commit tee was selected very soon after the meeting closed: First Ward S. J. Davis, Rev. J. W. Iramer, Frank Maunder, Fred Skipper. Second Ward Dr, Galloway. J, O. Smith, Jno. E. Crow. j Fourth Ward Junius Davis, Esq., Iredell Meares, P. L. Biidgers, W. F. Robertson and C. W. Worth. Fifth Ward A. B. Skelding, F. A. Montgomery, J. R. Davis, B. F. Iing and D. W. S. Harvey. - Closing Features of the Meeting;. After the real purpose of the meet' ing had been fulfilled a number of resolutions of thanks were voted. he Democratic newspapers of the city were thanked for "thj able and j effective work done during the great campaign for the overthrow of Repub lican negro rule." Thanks were also voted the executive and campaign committees, to State Chairman Sim mons and the State executive com- mittee for the splendid work they have performed. The appreciation of the meeting was also expressed to. Col. Waddell for service he rendered. It was past 1 o'clock when ihe meeting adjourned. ' The frmtfittee at Work. The commifee representing the white citizens fo confer " with the negro leaders with regard to the pro visions of. the resolutions with refer ence to the rf )noval i of the negro paper and its editor,' met at 6 o'clock in the S.

A notice by Chairman Waddell had been previouslyj served on a number of negroes, revesting them to meet Ihe c6mnaitte-?g that hour, and about twenty-five responded. .The text of tbe summons wAs: The following named colored citi zens of Wilmington are requested to meet a committee of citizens, appoint ed by authority of the meeting of business men aad tax-payers held this, morning, at 6 oplock this evening at the Merchants j Association's room in the Seaboard lLir Line building, to consider a matter of grave consequence to the negroes cf Wilmington: Dan Howard!

Waudetl, as chairman, in a very graphic; Jand determined way, explained to the negroes the purport of the resolutions and demanded their reply at the tiie specified by the mass meeting yesteiMay morning. He stated briefly that thgre would be no discus sion of the majter, and that. the reply must be brieyand conclusive. The negroes received the demands without comment and retired to consider the answer they should make to the propo sition, s !

Ibere is no doubt that AJlwater has won by a big majority ; Kitchin is re-elected by nearly two! thousand; tfellamy and Kluttz have won easily. and Crawford has certainly defeated Pearson. If the Democrat only re ceived Fountain tickets in time them he has beaten the negro Wlhite." Sec retary Thompson thinks Lovell has defeated Linney in the Eighth. It cer tainly looks that way now, but the Eighth is close. The majority for the judges cannot fall bel$w 25,000. Apparently the only solicitor the Fu ipnists have any hope of saving from the wreck is Marsh Mott. His is a lie publican district and he 'may hare been elected. ; Populists and Republicans now con cede everything. Tbe Senate and House are overwhelmingly Demo cratic. Chairman Holton; said, "I have nothing from which to make es timates. Lcan't hear from our side anywhere scarcely, and I) don't like that." He had a sickly smile as he spoke. Postmaster Bailev said : "VVehave lost everything in the Statet" Chairman Thompson badpothmg to say. ur. joyiui iaugnier itamsey was asked his opiuion of th landslide and in a philosophic manner the Doc tor said. "Well, it might be wcre." Logue Harries heard him arid retorted, Well, 1 don t see how it could be un less it was unanimous." 'Hal Aver chimed in, "If it was going, I had rather it had been unanimous." Ram sey looked blue and said with a sigh. i don t give up tne enatej Hal Ayer said heUanew all was gone by ten o'clock last night, lie claim absolutely ' nothing, but hasn't heard from his side. : Postmaster Hailey has : doir ".lark which always accumiaijii3s liiini This morning "Jack" ran jut th4 street and refused to return -Ii-m called, whereupon "Hailey of North Carolina" kbouted " 'o await- Jack. 1 don't want you, you've pine Demo cratic too." 1 Gov. Kussell arrived at 2: It' lat night and went imniedUtily to lls publican headquarters to! hear th news. Strange to say he was the only one in the crowd who appeared to tw in a good humor. When . tuM thai Halifax, Richmond and Mfcklrnhurg had gone Democratic py over it thousand each, he laughed and grunt ed ''One thoasand, is that all? A grand Democratic juhiilee in bo ing planned for to-morrow night Never was such rejoicing pen in Ra leigh as last night, yet not tbe slight est disturbance occurred. ; The entire ticket is electJwl in thin county. The omcial majbrltie are unknown yet. but Sheriff Jones con cedes it by 500. J Atwater arrived at 11 :40 this morn ing. He says Chatham has probably gone fusion by about 30(Jt Atwater has 1C00 majority in Johnston, 400 in Wake, over ZOO in franklin, lie .has 1000 majority in. the district Special Star Telegriam. Every Democratic solicitor in elect- od. Marsh Mott is certainly dfestej. White and Linney are elected. SIXTI CONQRESSIONALDISTRICT.
