ader. Henderson, badly
frightened, opened the door.

"We want you to leave the city by 9 o'clock Sunday morning," said the
leader.

"All right," replied Henderson, "all I want is time enough to get my
things in order."

A Negro lawyer named Scott was also banished and left the city before
morning.

The Democrats hired one of Pinkerton's Negro detectives to associate
with the Negroes several weeks, and his investigation, it is said,
revealed that the two lawyers and the other Negroes mentioned were
ringleaders, who were inciting their race to violence.

WHITE MEN MUST GO TOO.

The retiring chief of police, Magistrate R. H. Bunting, Charles H.
Gilbert, Charles McAlister, all white Republicans, and many assertive
Negroes, who are considered dangerous to the peace of the community, are
now under guard and are to be banished from the city.

The Negro Carter Peaman, who was exiled last night, got off the train
several miles from the city and was shot dead.

A report is current that John C. Dancy, the Negro United States
Collector of Customs for this port, has been notified to leave the city
and will be waited upon if orders are not summarily obeyed.

The city is now under thorough military and police protection and there
is no indication of further outbreaks.

Introductory Note.

On the Cape Fear River, about thirty miles from the East coast of North
Carolina rests the beautiful city of Wilmington.

Wilmington is the metropolis; the most important city of the old North
State, and in fact, is one of the chief seaports of the Atlantic coast.
The city lies on the East bank of the river, extending mainly Northward
and Southward. Market Street, the centre and main thoroughfare of the
city, wide and beautiful, begins at the river front and gradually climbs
a hill Eastward, so persistently straight, that the first rays of a
Summer's morning sun kiss the profusion of oak and cedar trees that
border it; and the evening sun seems to linger in the Western heavens,
loath to bid adieu to that foliage-covered crest.

Wilmington is the Mecca for North Carolina's interior inhabitants who
flock thither to breathe in its life-giving ocean breezes when Summer's
torrid air becomes unbearable, and lazy Lawrence dances bewilderingly
before the eyes. The Winter climate is temperate, but not congenial to
Northern tourists, who like swallows, only alight there for a brief
rest, and to look around on their
