Colored Mechanics and Artisans’ Association. It con- sisted of three very large floats, each drawn by four very big horses end brilliantly decorated with flags and bunting. The first contained a southern log cabin in miniature, enclosed with a wooden railing and surrounded by asmall section of a cotton field. “On each side of the float an mecription was draped, reading: “1787. Condition of the African Race in the United States, Little personal freedom No colleges. No schools. No hope for personal advancement. But lit- tle property held by them. No his~ tory.” Thesecond float carried 100 happy colored school children, and was decorated with Chinese lan- terns and flags. It was intended to symbolize the happy condition of the colored race now. An in- scription draped on the sides siin- larly to the first read: “1887. Emancipated. Enfranchised. God bless 188°. Full political rights and privileges, Real and persunal preverty in the South. $115,000, 000. Real and personal property in the north, $35,000,000 Col- leges aud high schools. 150. Freee common schools 22,500.” The third float of the series contained printing presses, shoemakers at work, house painters, craftsmen of various sort, emblematic of the freedom with wh ch eol-red_ peo- ple can engage in all pursuits. | Business signs covered the outside railing of the vehicle. + Old D-acon D bson boasted that he was «l\ays “prepared for the worst;”” and so he was, for he always kept Dr. Buil’s Congh syrup in the house, the only safe remedy tur Coughs and colds. —+———__- —_ — = Worth, of Parjs, has decided in fayor | of hoops, but they come in use slowly. in this country evéry body has decided that Dr. Bull’s Congh Syrup is the best | ing.” On Tuesday 27th while at Bren- ham, Washington county, the same elective franchise, not many months ago,—I purchased a Galveston News, and to my surprise read the flaming heading: ‘‘The Negroes of Matagorda ’rising; the vicious villians determined to annihilate the whites, ete. etc.” I immediate— ly took the then awaiting train for the scene of the riot, knowing in the mean time that the article in the News was intended to be read ed parading the streets; and the colored men scared and bumble. Some fifty colored families were ete. and preparing to leave town orders to do 80." T'walkéa AyUane town during the day, not without being questioned and receiving an occasional kick from brutish white men and boys; I succeeded in going around and picking up the information I now send you by pre- tending to be in search of my mother and taking her away from the bad colored people who are ill- treating the helpless and unforta- nate whites. The following 1s the truth of the whole affair: A Ne- gro constable named Massena was serving writs in the neighborhood and among the number against whom was a writ was a white man named Sanborn, a Negro hater and an outlaw.—On arriving at San- borns house Massena told him his business. Samborn after a volley of abuses declared he was a white man and no dam “nigger” co Id ar- rest him. Massena told him, so the report goes from eye witnesses, that he was only discharging his duty, where upon Sanborn ordered him off and before the unfortunate constable could reply or walk off Sanborn shot him and fled. The Negroes immediately gave the alarm for the purpose of capturing him. Sanborn’s friend fearing that he would be caught and samarily dealt with; begun intimidating the Negroes and finally put out the report that the Ne- groes had killed Sanborn revenging the death of Massena, which would have been justifiable if true, but such is not the case for Sanborn has, not been found dead or live, but is out hiding to keep out of the clutches of the law, —in order to be consistant with the report they had circulated about the death of Sanborn ; the white men of the county, some 150, armed to the teeth and headed by the sheriff made an excursion in the colored seitlements arresting on suspicion, and without a warrant every Negro tiey came across. Those of them who refused to go or protested against the illegal arrest was shot down; five were killed and seven seriously wounded. All this hap- penon Sunday when the colored peo ple were preparing to go to ehureh apd serve their God. Just as soon as the massrere was completed the news was telegraphed over the state, that the ‘niggers was ris- The white people through- out the state became aroused and the papers began setting fire to the flames. The ‘*Houston Post? remedy for coughs and colds, and it’s coming fust inte general use, Price 25 ct. says: . “After the finding of the dead AS NEWS. colored constable, Sanborne, the man for whom the constable had a warraut, misteriously disappeared and it wasthought that he had been murdered by the blacks. A posse went to arrest the negroes who were suspected of the suppos- ed crime. The negroes opened fire upon the officers and the officers re- turned the fire, killing four of them.” ‘The Negroes according to the Post opened fire but got killed. The “News” says. “The sheriff and posse started to arrest the leaders of the distur- bances, when they suddenly came upon a log cabin literally alive with armed negroes. Upon their ap- proaching the cabin the negroes oped fire upon them but fortanate- ly at too long a range. The whites then advanced upon them ata brisk trot and fired upom them, with the result before mentioned.” * The statement of the News con- tradict that of the Post in the first place there were no disturbance for according to the Post’s version of the affair the posse was in hunt for the suspected Negroes, and the ideaof armed Negroes firing into a body of white men who suddenly came upon them without not even wounding one is entirely too ab- surd to countenance. The most conspicuous thing about it is that aside from the distorted dispathes of the correspondents, not an edi- torial has appeared in any of tne great dailies condemning the “riot.” The whites being in the wrong the press has kept mum, and this ie the way we are treated by enlight- ened editors who do not regard the public duty imposed upon them, instead of having thought, justice and magnanimity they are traitors to liberty and brokers in the peace and prosperity of a wronged and injured people. By order of Gover- or Ross, the Houston Light Guarda, Prairrie Rangers and Pearson Guards and nomerous private com- panies to say nothing of the arm- ed whites who voluntari'y rep: i ed to Matagorda and now has posses- sion of the county. In the county .the colored numbers 4 te 1 white and couldjhave long ago massa Matagorda is a * péeddeavlé~ane tow abiding people and bave no desire todo any thing in the way of blood shed: The Galveston “News” of this morning says that the -‘Mata- gorda affair has resulted in draw- ing from the gun stores of this city their entire stock of rifies.” The white ladies gave a ball last night to oneof the returned regiments for their gallantry and heroic in- darance. Before leaving Colum— bia I became sick at heart to see the colored women trembling with ‘babes in their arms, and teare trickling down their dusky cheeks. Their busbands with a bundle of bedding on their backs preparing to fly from this heil hole. It re- mains to be seen, that if the Amer- ican people will suffer the outra- ges to continue upon a poor and inoffensive people, who to save ther lives are foreed to flee from their homes, ere long the whole nation will be made to pay the pen- alty of those inhaman crimes. It may be through flood, or tears, or famine, or blood, yet it will come. God is jnst and his vengeance sleepeth uot. R. C. O. BENJAMIN, 0a a SOCIETY PERSONALS. Mr. G. W.
