For the Enquirer.

FELLOW ClrIzESs.-It is known to many of you,
that at the last Charlotte May Court, Il caucus or
convention, or whatever il the right name Of it, was
held, in which Capt. Gillian and myself were nomi.
mated for the Sherifal,y. l refused TO recognise the
authority of this meeting; Nevertheless, / was put in
nomination with Capt. Gillian. and he received a
majority of votes. This result was no doubt antici.
pated with absolute certainty by those who got up
the meeting. A few Of my supporters were casually
present who had no accurate idea OF the object OF the
sssemblage. Even if | had obtained the nomination
in such a i meeting i should have regarded it as a very
inconclusive test Of ultimate success; Tor there are
other candidates in the field, whose prospects and
pretensionG are perhaps, superior TO mine. thought
il probable, after ! was disposed of in this sum.
mary way, that the other candidates might be- invited
in, one after another, and successfully despatched in
the same way-and il they had, i have no doubt that
the strongest man among them would have met the
same fate.
If the views of the Wylliesburg meeting could have
been carried outfit delegates from all the precincts
had assembled, 1 would most promptly have &C.
uuiesced in the decisiou Of such a meeting, and cor
daily supported the nominee.
Bat, as | cannot see thu fairness Of the proceeding
mentioned above, this is to notify my friends who are
true, although they may be few, that ] am still in the
field, and intend by all fair means to fight it out, whe-
Their my efforts result in success or defeat.

LYNcHING AND THRAsEIKe.-Some ex.
citement prevailed in town on Monday morn
ing last, growing out OF the lynching and
whipping Of negro, by half dozen or more
persons of his color. The sufferer was one
Ben Scott, poor, worthless, dissipated dar.
key, who has made Warren his home, off and
on, for q number Of gears. The specific
charge against him in the present instance,
was that he had placed slave hunter on
the track OF fugitive, and for his treachery
had received liberal compensation. 1t is
charged against him that he decoyed the fu.
gitiVe from Youngstown, where the latter
had been at work, since his arrival there
from Missouri, and telling him that his mas
ter was after him, induced the runaway to
accompany him towards this place. Wheth.
er or not there was real fugitive in the
matter, we have not been able TO definitely
ascertain, there being conflicting reports in
regard to ii, and different versions of the
affair given by Scott and his udversaries.-
Some contend that it was hoax gotten up
by some mischievous young men to stir "
the colored population, and that Scott help
ed them carry out the deception. There is
HoWeVeT1 OHe luIHS COuueCteu Win tue Ulut
ter that does not admit Of dispute, and thai
is that Scott received most unmercifu
thrashing, brought on either by treachery OIL
falsehood on his part. The manner OF deal
ing with him was quite summary. Eorly
on Monday morning several of his friend,
called at his house, and took possession o
Scott much against his wishes, and escorte,
him short distance east Of town, on tn,
railroad track, where he was dvested of hi
clothing, laid upon the ground, and held Sc
curely, while a couple of sturdy fellows
well prepared with strong, green rods, tick
led him up in style according to their taste
and judgment. Scott came TO town, and ha,
snce been endeavoring to get hold of hi
enemies by the aid of law, but at last ac
counts had not fully succeeded. Whethe
lie was guilty or not, the friends of law an,
order cannot regard with entire appreciation
an assumption, on the part of any set ofmen
of the right to administer whatever punish
ment they may consider as due another.
encouragement is given TO a mobocrati
spirit, the better portion of community wll
