A Fatal Blow. We are informed by Mr. H.
, H. G. Broome,1 who arrived in the city yester
day from Beaufort County, that Mr. Reuben
Wilkerson and Council Mr Scott, of that county,
met at the store of J. B. Bryan, Esq., of Au
rora, on Saturday last, when, as it appears.
feud which had previously existed between
I them was renewed. Very little was 6aid by
either of the parties before Mr, Wilkerson,
seizing a piece of oak plank that stood near,
struck Mr. Scott, who was sitting on the conn
ter, a blow on the right side of the head caus
ing him to pitch forward to the floor, falling
upon his head witb such force as to break his
neck. Mr. Scott was a very quiet and inoffen
sive young man, greatly liked by all who knew
him, and lacked only a few days of attaining his
majority. He only lived about thirty-five min
utes after the fatal blow was struck. Wilker
son was arrested and lodged in jail.

Commentary on Cito Rights --We invite the
attention of the Radical whites of the country,' to
he disgraceful exhibition of colored rodyism
unfolded at the Police Court yesterday morning.
The congregations of . two colored Baptist
churches engaged in a row on the holy Sab
bath, breaking the peace of the community, and
exciting violence, savage recklessness of tem
per, ana a most inexcusable violation of Jaw.
Read the account of our Reporter, which speaks
or itself. This isthe people, whom irrespon
sible Radicals wish to put into the schools,
hotels and venerated cemeteries with the whites.
There are a few colored persons in the city
nowise identified with such a degraded state of
things. Go to the Episcopal Church on Com
munion Sunday, and after the whites have par
taken f the sacrament, you will see a small
number of colored men and women, moving
with a slow and solemn step up the aisles of the
sacred edifice, to participate in the Lord's Sup
per. They : are the little remnant' of the pious;
but aristocratic blacks, who before the war; held
themselves above demagbgueism and meanness,
and still cherish the memory of purer and better
days. Besides these there are some, who in their
heart of hearts despise the vulgar artifice of un
scrupulous politicians, who are" seeking to use
them for their own advantage. But they are bound
hand and foot and can do nothing. Take this race
as a body, and they are about as fit for self-government,
as they are to control the Parliament
of England. The negro needs to be governed,
treated firmly but kindly, or he is a nuisance to
himself. These very Radicals will presently 'set
tired ol him, and will be ready to load him with
any sunenng or disgrace, to appease tneir own
conscience. In the meantime, : let our intelli
gent white readers ponder the lesson contained
in this most disgraceful Sunday riot. j f

Mayor's Court Yesterday. The first case for
the consideration of His Honor Mayor Camp
bell, was that of a colored woman, Creesy
Blount, charged with assaulting Margaret West,
thereby disturbing the1 peace and quietude, of
the neighborhood. Fined $5.00. f
Shade Gates, Hardy Gates, Solomon Hand,
James Lucas and Jos. Kelly were arraigned,
charged with committing an assault upon the
person of Rev. A. D. Baines, (coL ). Hon. iM.
E. Manly, appeared for the plaintiff. -It seems
that the origination oi this slight unpleasant
ness was occasioned Dy some petty jealously
between the two rival colored Baptist churches
of this city. A party representing the respec
tive factions, gathered in their usual devout and
earnest manner, in a favorite place, and deter
mined to divert their attention somewhat from
their usual devotions, and engage in a friendly
game of fisticuff. The feature of this case,
which renders it most intolerable to every right
minded person, is that professed christians, j on
the holy Sabbath, should be setting such an ex
ample of disorder and disobedience to law. This
difficulty, under the circumstances, is a terrible
reflection upon the respectability and law abid
ing character of the colored people. And com
ing at this particular time, it is calculated, to
damage their interests more than anything else
that could happen. His Honor decided Shade
Gates, Hardy Gates and Solomon Hand guilty,
fining Shade $1Q and costs, and the other two
$5.00 and cost,; each. Kelley and Lucas were
ordered to be discharged.
Since the adjournment of the court, the
Mayor upon the petition of .the adverse faction,
issued a warrant against Baines and four of ! his
confreres, who come upor a hearing this morn
ing, upon a similar charge as the one tried
yesterday. .-
