A Sample of Southern Hospitality.

We take the following from the Mont
gomery Mail:
STRAIGHT Makes a Straight COatIaa.
A man named S. Straight, a member
of the Cincinnati firm of Straight, Dem
ing g. Co., produce dealers, visited our
city last Friday, and remained until Sa-
turday night, The Advertiser, OF Sa-
turday morning, contained a descrip-
ton of the worthy, from a Rome (Ga.)
paper, which denounced him as a LIN
coin A~bolitionist. Meantime, he was
prosecuting his business, in the way of
soliciting orders from our heavy dealers,
with whom, by the way, his house has
been doing some business for two or
more years. -,
1t getting wind, that we had an Abo-
l~itionist among us, a committee OF clti-
zens visited the man at his room In Ex-
change Hotel, and searched his trunk.
They discovered nothing but an answer
to Helpers Impending Crisis and aBlble
books which it is most singular an
Abolitionist should travel with. But,
probably, this was done to deceive, III
case of search.
The committee questioned Straight,
and learned from him that he was a sup
porter of Lincoln, though he had not,
so far as we learn, made known the
fact, except on being questioned. In
consequence of his admission of his Lin
colnism. he was advised TO leave by the
earliest train, which he promptly prom
Used to do.
Subsequently, a committee OF young
citizens visited Straight, and they In
tended either to execute him or to adj
minister such corporal punishment as
would have made the Straight brand no.
~torious for the next half century. But
in consideration of the fact, that Straight
had only expressed his preference Tor
Lincoln on being closely questioned,
and that he declared at the same time
that he did not believe Lincoln to be an
incendiary-in consideration OF this,
some of our older and more cautious CT
tizens took the trouble to convey the
wretched creature to the West Point
depot, and, cutting his name OH. his
trunk, started him for his happy Adolf
ton home, where the Niger is the
equal of all such white men
Let Southern grocers remember the
name of Straight, Deming d Co.

Two years ago, our friend j H. E-s

ShuIsburg, ran for the Legislature. The,
district was close, and it required the best
foot forward to win. The profits to be de-,
rived from an election were nothing. but the
idea Of defeat did not leave any stone to re.
main unturned by either party to secure q
vote. J.. is 10 the mining business; and
at times employs number of men, who dig
and delve in the bowels of the earth for his
proft-so the day before the election be en-
gagged about fifty Republican voters to work
