THREE NEGROES HUNG.-The correspondent of the
Houston Telegraph writing from Dallas under date of
the 2Sth of July, says:
Ed TELEGRAPH:-Three negro men, the leaders
in the nsurreeuOnary plot executed at this place
last Tuesday evening. One of them, Pat Jennings
was the man who applied the torch the town of Dallas
and one OF the most prominent of those who were en-
gagged in the work Sam Smith, another and preacher
was hardened old Scoundrel and the third-old Cato
has always borne bad character in this county,
They were taken out of JAIL escorted the place of
execuonby the military and in the presence Of large
concourse of people, expiated their crimes as Justice
demanded They betrayed no discomposure in view of
the awful fate before them Pat positively refused to
say anything and died with much Indifference as if
he had been about his ordinary OCCUPATION With
apparent nonchaance he retained his chew of tobacco
in his mouth and died with it there They hung about
twenty minutes Pat dying very hard and the other two
without a sruggle-the former by asphyxia and the
two latter by dislocation of the cervica verterbra
This Is fearful warning to the rest who vet may
share the same fate In WaXahache many important
developments have been made and large amount of
poison found In the possession of negroes. The whole
affair VIII have the most important results The dam
gerous sentiments entertained by some people, will be
shown up in their practical results and be laid open be-
fore the country in their naked defomtv stripped of
all adventurous coloring Men in high places will find
practical Interpretation of their political dogmas in
the view taken of them by deluded negroes The plot
to devaState northern Texas dated from certain time
and calculated to mislead people no better informed
than our negro population. The danger of suffering
negroes to 60 out to celebrations to hear political
speeches and to hold meetings of their own is rendered
by the developments connected with this matter We
have learned a lesson, and will profit by it.
NEGRO PLoT.-An Austin correspondent of the Cal
weston News, says that committee of investigation had
been appointed at that city, to examine the negro quar-
tiers and gives the following the result of their work
One keg OF powder large quantity of bullets. lead
musket caps and bowie knives were found distributed
at several places The negroes implicated in the con-
spiracy belonged to Messrs Edward Clark o,r present
Lieut.. governor9 Sam Harris and Mrs Beai. The
investigation still going on andt supposed that the
leaders, who were doubtless white men, have fled from
this city.
