From the indianapolis Herald, 2Gln ult.l
lirownlow's troupe of negro min
strcls gave IN exhibition ut Masonic
jail last night. Notwithstanding the
bcastly weather there was a good
house, many ladies' having stood the
"tcst Of loyalty by wading early
through The mud to secure front seats.
MIR. CHARLES II. E~KASsCoME.
On behalf ofthe Southern loyaIists,
Mr, Charles II. i~iranscomh, Of Nilsson
ri, responded. Mr. Branscomb istn
small, sccdy looking, sheep faced indi
vidual, with u bountiitI crop OF facial
hair, and a musl Y sort of articulation,
rs if his mouth were half filled with
some soft aHd nasty substance. He
had something to say about the 'fcw
chn,' but we didn't exactly catch the
drift Of his remarks.
JACK HAMILTON.
The big gun ofthc show then took
TIC stand. Jack is II large, solid look
iug cut throat, with 4 rough, red face,
IllSl NhCNh b'ltoD p'iiH'hl I''''II1 :"
round which plays the ghost Of Il SIMS
ter smile, murlerors blue or steel grey
eyes and Il large nose. He IS grossly
animal and brutal in temperament and
rcpnlsive in appearance, lie used to
have some brains before he was so
completely whisky soddcn and 3hatterl
cd by liccntiou5 dcbauchcry, and some
years ago Won some renOWn asa deba
ter in ~ discussion with General Ward
llc spoke little over IN hour, drinking
agreat deal Of water, which seemed to
hiss rs it passed down his fiery throat,
and saying little worthy ofnoticc.
HON. NIX. FowLET.L ~
A Tennessee Senator then, favored
the audience with II solo. lie is II
small, cleanIy shaved, ratAer well dress
ed man, with weak rheumy eyes, and Il
vacant -c~oumtcnance. Fowler is evi
denly q weak brother, and didn't make
any considerable sensation.
GENERAL DAVIS,
OF Texas is q talI, slender man, with a
long face, shaded by ginscr.colored
whiskers, light hair, a little bald in
front, nervous, sangu;ne in tcmpcra-
ment. lie might readily be mistaken
for Il gentleman, were it not for the
company in which he is found, and is,
rs the counterfeit dctcctors used to
phrase it, swell calculated to decieve."
He was opposed to the admission of
even loyal men from the Southern
States, Until matters :rc ilNdd up.
REV. MIR. HUNNIctrT.
Is a preacher and" editor of 4 niger
paper in Richmond, Virginia. He is a
oaunt, grizzly specimen Of concrete i'll
uaticism, evidently out of place iii the
society of white men, even such as
those who compose the loyal delegnA
tion'ofSouthcrn pilgrims. now o ntheir
way to crocodile ut the tomb OF Lin
coin rHunnicutt is i'm lend man OIL
the show, and a perfect Guy Hawkes..
He is Il blood and thunder uss,lwho is
determined on the regeneration Of the
South ut alt hazards. ,,
We were not much surprised at tie
crazy slemeniac spirit which pcrvaded7
the ~harangue of this white Niger, but
we must confess that the hearty man
ner in Which il was received by the
audience took us somewhat abank. We
never saw!fsuch wild enthusiasm be-
fore. ~, The andieuee shouted and yelled
in the most frautically delightful NAH
ner for i've and ten minutes at a time,
swinging their hats in the Dir, and hug
eing each othcri in the frenzy OF the mo
