Policeman McMurry precipitated a row in Yamacraw on Thanksgiving Day that will long be remembered As the Tribunk gathered the Lets the police man ordered a lew colored men off the sidewalk enforcing his order at she same time with his club. One of the men caught hold of the club. McMur ry pulled his pistol and fired Tillmau ran mortally wounded. The policeman shot him after he fell. A crowd quickly gathered and began beating the polict - man. Policeman Cr ino came on the scene flourishing his pistol and firing He shared the same late as McMurry. Crimmins took side with the police oen aud suff-ied as the other two. Yann craw was wild for a c uple of hours. The sentiment of the peup •? is that the officers indiscretion caused the whole trouble. Cronin killed colored man a year ago in the same part of the city and McMurry had a row s me time ago with the same class of mn. The colored people of the viciuity are law abiding and any arrest could have been made by any other officers of the police force who possessed judgment and discretion Tweuiy-six colored people are in jail.

Ph asant pub lished a card which did me great in justice and which has been used to my injury. I have convinced Oapr, Pleas ant that be gave too ready credence to the rep nts made to h in. and I beg to refer to the nccoinpaning correspon dence to Miow that Capt. Pteasaul ad. mits like the generous man that he is, that he acted too hastily. I solemnly deny that I deceived or attempted to deceive voters in the last legislative contest. I deny that I was the author of the deceptive ticke’s which are said to have been used lam willing to subm.t to the judgement of any uupredjudiced experr the question as to whether my handwriting i- on any of them, and I am sure his verdict will conclusively sh w that I have been cruelly misrepresented. I had nothing whatever iu the way of deception to do with the tickets referred to, and I chal lenge my accusers to pro luce any testi mony that will in any Way connect me with them. Capt/ Pleasant declines to give me the names of his informers, so that I am unable to confront them as I would de siie to do. I have submitted patiently to the Wrong done uie uutil now. when she excitement, incidental to the Presi eatial contest is over, when I can ap peal to the calm judgment of my friend-, to do iu j us'ice. I have lived among you all my life and through you have held, and am now still holding honorable positions in your midst. I know submit to all right thinking people who know trie, that if my conduct has b en such ns to wtrrant me in askiug them not to believe the charges made against me without an item of proof. The card in your paper referred to tnv position as clerk of the First African Baptist church, aud 1 see or think 1 see an intimation of injuring me in said position, which being brand ed as Democrat might likely <io, If I felt called upon to answer that I th ; nk I should say ti.at a position iu ibe church of Chris has nothing t< do with polities which are properly kept out of the church, especially is this true of the First/' .fricstn Biptist church of which I am roud that lam a member, Idp not aiiow ju-t yet the extent of the iu jury the publication in question has done me at this writing. Please insert the letter to Capt, Pleasant and his re* ply which I hope will put an end to this unhappy affair. Very Respectfully, C. H. Ebbs. Savannah Capt L. M PlbasaNt; Lear Sir:—lu the Savannah Tribune of the ttth of October vou published a card which docs me an injus tice and which I am convinced that you dtd’ut do intentionally Had you made inquiries and followed up the rumors which prevailed during that heated political contest you would hav« found tiiat the charges were without founda tion. I know the consequences that would re kult from deedviot? i people and it will have been bad policy upon my part to attempt such deception. . ~ . Injustice to myself I should have made my defense long ere tills, but I deemed It prudent to wait until the excitement incidental to the Presidential election had subsided, 1 ask you now to investigate the matter, aud see If there were any grounds pi make the charge* which have Injured me In the estimation of my friend Knowing your generous nature, I fed atsiir ed that you will not hesitate to repair auytnju- I rv tiiat you luigli’ have unintentionally done i me ' Vary Ropeetfully, C.
