j itbe evening ri the Cth of Jan

and tiding about eevenly five miles we
arrircd at Jacksonville the morning of
the 7th at 8 o'clock. We stopped at
ths Hotc-1 presided over by Mr. Hug
ging the Clerk of the, Superior Court.
After a hplendid breakfast we bad the
pleasure iof 'meeting several ol the lead
ing Democrats 'of the county, and got
their vleWn on the question of patting
colored men on the Jury, and we are
glad ii siy that of all we talked to not
one opposed doing justice by the color

the county comncissioners would, and
ought to'put tbe na-nes of qualified col

formed us that at the meeting held tbe
Monday previous the commissioners
placed the names ol a n amber of col
ored men on the list to draw (he Jurors

At. about 10 o'clock the Colored ;citi
re os of the county commenced coming
in to ibe town, and by il o'clock a very
larcc jr. ticn of the colored people of
the county had arrived. At 11:S0
o'clock tbe colored convention was call
ed to order. Tbe convention was held
for the pnrpoee of takiug steps to en
force' their rights' as citizens iu the
county. The mce'.ing was well con
ducted. The presiding officer, Mr. Wil
liams, a young colored school teacher
of tbe couoty, done well, notwithstand
ing the fact he has had no experience
in parliamentary matter. His address
was verv g KAl, ho spoke with modera
tion, butlirmncss aud decision. Wo
heard some fifteen abort speechea made
mostly by the jouug colored men of the
county and the general conduct, atyle
of apeakiog and , langnsge used ' was
very conservauve ana to in point.
They hoed great improvement,; we
find quite I.Bumber of edacated jouog
men, ana even tne oia men nave im
proved their opportunities splendidly.
We were much gratified at the large
number present, the intelligence dis
played and the work accomplished by
tbe meetiog.;
We were informed by the county
officers that the colored tatixens jure
maklog money very rapidly and in
vesting jt in lands, stock and knowl
edge; thry pointed ont several colored
men worth from one thousand to tea
tbouwnd dollar each Wo noUcod they
had fioe horses, good vehicles and fine
clothe. They look well, dressed well,
and behaved themselves as gentlemen.
and what glvesi na more pleasure stilt
was the good WersUndlog txistlnj
between the white and colored people.
Wo watched the hehavior of tho whitt
people and they all condacted them
aelves well towards tho colored
recrle. Wo feel wj aaro that the

.. The chairman of the county commis
sioners, Dr. Word, Sheriff Morrill,
Clerk of Superior Court, Mr. Huggins,
and the Begiatef of Deeds,..Mr, Ham
phxey, have all promised to. deal more
liberally in the future with the colored
citizens than they haye In the past, and
we believe tJhey mean to do iW. It is to
the interest. of the county that they
should. There is no finer lands in the
State than -in Onslow, tho' people are
interprising bit they mast have labor.
the crops can't be made without it, but
we assure them from what we see and
hear the colored men have made'- nn
their minds to locate and raise their
families where their children can be ed-
ncatedand after the boys grow to be
men they will be allowed all the rights
Other citixens enjoy. . -. ' f.f-,,.
The meeting adjourned at about 3
9'clock, we got dinner and, left for
home after four and after a long but
very pleasant drive, made so by Mr.
Horrell, one of Pendera bast Bepnbli
cans, who accompanied us, we arrived
home, well pleased with bar visit, and
with best wishes for all our friends in
Oaslow, both white and colored?- u
Theacanrqrmdby-the death, of
Hod. Geo. W. Brooks, Judge Eastern
District of N. C. is being sought by
quite a rargo number of able lawyers.
Among those who are being pressed by
their friends' we find the j names; of
J udge D. L. Russell, ' of Brunswick
county, Judge R. P. Buxton, oi Cum
berland county, Jcdge A. S. Seymore,
of Craven county, Judge W. A. Moore,
of Washington, Judge W. Clarke,' of
Wak 3 county, and Judge Faircioth.of
Wayne county. All of these gentle
men are good lawyers of experience
and would make honorable successors
to Judge Brooks. But there is dne
thing that should bo well considered by
the President, ho man should: be ap
pointed to fill this vacancy who is the
least tainted on the question of giving
equal rights to all our citizecs regard
less of color.' We have our doubts about
one of the I applicants standing
equare on tbis important mat
ter, we I know of one who re
fused to enforce the laws and compell
Democratic sheriffs to put colored men
on juries,1 and if he was not faithful al
ter being elected by a large colored
constituency with an eight years term
ue u'er Wlin.
Some of these applicants have been
weighed in the Bcales and found to be
good and faithful. We hope the Presi
dent will give us a man who will stand
firm by the . law and see justice deaH
with equality to alL I
If President Arthur wants to appoint
William E. Chandler Secretary of the
Navy, or to any bther position, he
should be permitted to do so without
being assaulted by tbe feather-head
press. ' Mr. Chandler is, and always has
been, Mr. Blaine's most intimate friend,
in business as well as in politics. He
is honest, capable, and faithful, and
those are the JeflVsrsonian teats of fit
ness for office. 4. he Inter Ocean has
not always agreed with Mr. Chandler
in politics, but it never believed him to
be dishouest, corrupt, or incapable.
Jkxcago later Uccan,
William E. Chandler's appointment
to the cabinet would be exceedingly
agreeable to every Republican in the
South. He is one of the very best Re
publicans in the , north, and one of
those northern Republicans who have
always stood by. the union Republi
cans of tho sou tb when all the north
ern goara heads were abasing as
Chandler was on deck in our defence.
