TERRIBLE AFFAIR IN FLORIDA.

The Savannah Republican Of the SOth ult.
says: We received, yesterday, the following
letter from Tampa, in which is recorded one
Of the greatest outrages that ever disgraced
q country Of law. We have no personal
knowledge Of the writer and the reader will
form his own opinion Of its reliability. Frot1
recent indications from that quarter, we en-
tertain but little doubt Of the correctness Of
his statements We cannot believe. however,
that mere political hostility Is sufficient TO
drive men to such desperate extremities.
Touching the appeal Of the writer for pro-
lection, we can only refer him to the Cover.
nor Of Florida, whose duty 1t is to crush out,
by aid Of the military II necessary, all such
diabolical proceedings and their authors.
TAMPA, Fla, June Gath.
Editor Republican: Dear Sir: The existence
OF an Executive Committee" at this place is
doubtless known to you; and as law.abid-
ing citizen Of this city feel it to be my du-
ty to state certain facts to the world, with
reference to said committee, and ask a place
in your columns for the publication OF them,
as our little paper here. and in fact every
paper in this portion OF the State, is either
in league or fear of their vigilance tyranny.
This morning four OF our most prominent
men, to wit: John j. Early, D'Witt Lueian,
jerome BaEer, and Col. J. Alfonso Crockett,
were found hnng to as many trees in the SUBJ
urbs OF our city. Intense excitement exists,
and many OF our citizens are now under arms
for the protection of the law abiding, who
dare to raise their hands against these mid
night assassins
Another remarkable feature is this every
one of these are members of the american
Party" Is it prescription. Col. Crockett
and MIR. Early leave interesting families to
deplore their loss, while the death Of all has
cast a gloom over this community, from
which it will not shortly recover. r..
They were followed TO the grave by about
two hundred persons, and remarkable to say
there were but two democrats in the con-
course, one Of whom was the sexton.
You may rely upon this being strictly cor
rect; and my excuse for thus addressing q
stranger. is but that "naked truths might
come to light" and these damnable assassins
may receive their just merits. . .,r.f....
As the friend Of Americans, ask that you
make an appeal to the General Government,
or at least demand an investigation.
Yours, de-, s. 7. BowES
