An ADvocArE of negro suffrage, and,

trine Of amalgamation, miscegnation,
and all their attendant wills. stepped
into an Alderman's Office yesterday and
stated that he wished to sue D, man for

witnesses, designated and named one VI
two Americans Of African descent whom
he said were cognizant Of the whole con-
tract and the attendant circumstances.
Being informed that unbleached Ameri-
cans could not testify against white men,
the abolitionist remarked that he
thought that was the basis upon which
the new State was founded, and the only
one upon which the Union would be re-
constructed. After arguing the point
for some time, the complainant retired, in
all probability to await the consumma-
ton Of his reconstruction movement.

ESrIn u last issue we expressed the
opinion that there was no danger, in this
part of Mississippi, of any attempt at an
instruction on the part Of the blacks
While we adhere to that opinion, we
would not, by any means, be understood
as intimating that there is no cause for
watcLfulness. On the contrary we would
advise every one TO be on the alert
What is not probable is possible, and it
behooyes a people situated as we are to
exercise the greatest vigilance. We
should be prepared at all times for any
emergency. To this end, it seems to us,
the company that has been raised in this
county should proceed to a more effective
organization. They should meet at the
courthouse occasionally, and "give the
world assurance" that there is a comps-
ny-give some tangible evidence that if
we should be menaced by danger from
any quarter. there are strong arms and
stout hearts to meet it. For any number
of men, we care not how many, to meet,
sign their names to a paper, elect officers,
and then all 60 about their several ways,
meeting nc more, taking no further action
call you that raising a company?
You had as well erect a wind mill. We
wouldn't give a fig for such a company.
To be able to do efficient service a com.
pany should learn to 60 through the
manual of arms and the evolutions of a
soldier, and should be taught discipline.
A company gotten up on any other prin'
ciples won't be Of much service when the
tug zones. Organize. gentlemen, or.
ganize, if you are in earnest.

The Concert,
" Music where soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory"

NlDrates IN the memory"
The Concert on Thursday evening last
Tor the benefit of the Methodist Church
was a decided success. Owing to tn
extreme inclemency of the weather, i
was feared that the attendance would b.
small, but we were agreeaby surprised
to find the audience both large and bril-
liant.
Much credit is due the ladies for the
beautiful and tasteful manner in which
the hall was decorated. The amateurs
were exceedingly happy in the choice Of
music, and their harmonious and %artisti-
cal execution would have reflected credit
upon a veteran troupe Of professional per,
formers. The thanks of the Methodist
Church and its friends are due to them
for their generous and disinterested la
bors, especially when it is borne in mind
that but one OF the band is q member of
that denomination.
When the members Of the Methodist
Church look upon then unfinished tenn
pie. and reflect that those upon whom
they have no claims have nobly stepped
forward to assist in its completion, by
giving their time and talent, will it not
stir them up to do their.duty?
AT the conclusion of the performances
which were received with hearty de-
monstrations Of applause by an apprecia-
tive audience-the Rev. G. G. Andrews,
preacher in charge, cam forward, and
in a neat and graceful speech, returned
thanks on behalf Of the church, and stated
that there was a special request that the
Concert might be repeated-tha, the citi.
zens Of Canton and vicinity might have
another opportunity-on Tuesday night,
18th inst.,-of attesting their high appre.
citation Of the noble and generous efforts
Of the amateurs. 1t affords US pleasure
to state that this request will be complied
with IN the evening above stated.
Should any young gentleman fail to
show his gallsntry, as well as liberality,
on the occasion, by neglecting to offer
his services for the evening to his "bright
particular STAR" we would say to the
young lady, trust him not for We are
told by the immortal Bard of Avon that
" he that hath no music in his soul,
is not moved by the concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, atrataRems and spoils
The motions of bis spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Ertbus."

LAGER-THE NEGROES LYNoHED.

The two negro brutes, who so fendishly

fully expiated their crime yesterday after
noou -=4 .sa
Early yesterday crowd of excited people
C mmenced ga herring around the C urt house
and jail, demanding that the prisoners be de-
lsered up 10 them. The demand was efused i,
and at noon the crowd dispersed, and it was
hoped that better counsels would prevail and
that the guilty wretches ould be left to the
regular course oflaw.
Bat after noon the crowd assembled again,
and the excitement had evidently increased,
and continued to. increase until about 81 o
clock, when the front door of the Jail building
was broken open with a sledge hammer, and
the crowd rushed into the jail How they
reached the prisoners we did not learn, but
they were soon dragged forth into the street,
beaten down with clubs and shot.
After they were dead they were taken up
and hanged to lamp-post on the corner Of
the street, where they were hanging at a late
hour in the evening. They we're, ultimately
we learn, taken down and buried.
1t was the first scene of the kind ever enac-t
ted In Evansville, and for the fair name of the
city, we hope it will be the last
Every one execrates the abominable and
brutal crime committed by the negroes, but
mob law is dangerous remedy for evils of
this or any other kind, and all good citizens
deplore resort to it; and we hope this fear
full and summary punishme ut will prove such
a warning that we shall never again hear of
