BOLD ROBBERY.-A white man entered the
yard enclosure of the residence of John An
derson's on Carroll street, in South Nashville,
on Tuesday evening, just before dark, while
the family were at supper, and thrustiDg his
hand in the open window of a front room,
pulled off a fine white counterpart and two
sheets, bundled them on his shoulder and
walked He was seen in the yard by SER
want, who looked him in the face and return
ed to inform her master that there was man
in the yard. He was also seen by gentleman
in the house, walking down the street, but be-
fore it was discovered that he had perpetrated
the theft, he was out Of reach.
The house of Mr.. Wyatt, in the same neigh
borhoOd, was entered few nights since. The
robber proceeded to his sleeping apartment,
and took his pantaloons, carried them to tie
back lot, rihed them of some $3S, and left
them.
That part of the town seems TO be infested
with thieves, and We hope our vigilant police
viii succeed in capturing IA ore or less of them
before long.

CAMp. .ME:TISG.--Ave very large Camp Meeting
under the auspices of ministers Of the Mctho-
dist Church, is being held at present in the
woods on the farm of Mr.. Addleman, about
midway between this place and Curwensville.
We learn that the attendance has been very
large. On Sunday, which was beautiful day,
our town was almost deserted. Every accessi-
ble animal of the horse species, and every i'm
aginable soft of vehicle, were pressed into
service, and it is estimated that not less than
two thousand persons were assembled.
Several clergymen, some of them from a
distance, are ministering to the spiritual wants
of thepeople, and their praiseworthy efforts are
said to have thus far met with much success.
1t is expected that the exercises will be dis
continued to day.

THOMAS JEFFERSON AND SLAvERY.-We pre-
sent a scrap of history not inappropri ate ct
the present time. 1t is known that JEFFER-
son penned the Declaration of independence,
a document that has received the highest enco-
miums from that day to this. 1t is also known
that Jefferson held in utter adherence the
sustem of slavery, and denounced it as fla
grant wrong against humanity and an abomina-
tion in the sight of Heaven. But it is not
knoicn to everybody that Jefferson embodied
in the original draft of the DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE one of the most whitening
rebukes directed to George Ill, King OF
Great Britain, for his guilty completely in fas-
tening the curse of slavery upon the Colonies.
We present the paragraphs which were stricken
out at the suggestion of Ohm ADAMS and BEN
JAMIN FRANKLIN. These omitted paragraphs
are found in Jefferson's Works, purchased by
Congress, April II, 1913, and published by
Taylor & Maury, Washington, D. G.. They
are worthy of careful peruSal, as they unmis-
takably indicate healthy public sentiment
among Southern men on the subject of Slavery
in the earlier and better days of our national
history. We commend these paragraphs to
the thoughtful consideration of Judge Kane,
who processes to belong to the Jeffersonian
school. They are pithy, pertinent and pecu-
iarly cad rem" Jefferson, in speaking of
the oppressive tyrannical acts Of the king in
dignantly says: ssHe has waged cruel war a
sacred rights of life and liberty on the persons
of a distant people who never offended him,
capturing and carrying them into slavery in
another hemisphere, or to incur a miserable
death aiu their transportation thither. This pi-
ratical warfare, the opproprium of Infidel
powers, is the warfare of the Christian King
of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a
market where men should be bought and sold,
he has prostituted his negative for suppressng
every Legislative attempt to prohibit, or to re-
strain this execrable commerce. And that this
assemblage of horrors might want no fact of
distinguished dye, he is now exciting those
very people to rise in arms among us, and to
purchase that liberty of which he has deprived
them, by numbering tie people on whom he
also obtruded them; thus paying off former
crimes committed agaist the LIBERTIES of our
people, with crimes which he urges them to
commit against the LIVES of another"
Thus wrote THOMAS JEFFERSON before slave
ry was discovered to be a 'fpatriarchal institu-
tion," ''blessing to be prized,'' good so
great, that for its security and perpetuation
We can afford to aend our citizens to prison,
who are guilty of no offence, and keep them
there ''without bail or mainprize.''
