though they were the friends of the

IN the present case The location of
the Capital was a test question, made
SO by themselves, when YOU were
elected, and there has not, that we can
learn, been any change in the senti-

county wish the Capital located
Gehtraliy without regard to the \. w.
a road, or any other road, believing
that central location would make il q
permanent advantage to the State. We
are well convinced that your course ON
the Capital question will be heartiIv
endorsed by your friends, and should
you throw your vote and influence for

unanimously condemned. We saw

party purposes, or out OF pure deviltry-
we don know which-forwarlcd to Gen

erPaFte afiidav,;s of the JUICES accusers'
AFTER concluding the examination on one
side, he notified the Judge of the complaint
and OF The action he had taken, and gave
the Judge an oportunity to reply. With
out acknowledging the right OF the military
to Interfere with him, the judge thought it
best to reply in writing, tosuch ofthe char.

character, for Gen SchoGcId's Information.
This was the whole matter. There was no
arrest or interruption of any kind The

the Judges friends have right to complain

y d Il Y | l. S IL PLOT

We are no sensatiOnists, but we cannot
shut our eyes to the alarming fact that the
negroes mean mischief On Saturday q ne
gro Of Conservative principles, named Bar
nard Brooks, lodged complaint with Justice
Brucc, magistrate of Campbell, that Ja-
cob Jones and jacob johnson, two negro
Radicals, living in the county, near Meal
listers shop, were preparing to kill him,
and asked for n warrant for their arrest
The warrant was issued and placed in the
hands Of Constable George VI. Bruce, and
the accused were arrested and brought to
the city, where they were partially exam
mod before Justices ID. T. Reese, james
Langhorne and George II. Bruce, which re-
suited in the prisoners being committed to
Jail for further hearing on Friday next.
among the witnesses examined was Mrs
DR.. McAllistcr, who stated that negroes, to
the number OF fifty or more, had been hold
ing frequent meetings on her husband
plantation, Sven miles below the city on
the Richmond road, and that she finally had
her sucpicjons aroused to such n pitch that
she determined o. see what was going on
Friday night she went to the house where
meeting was being held, and upon near
ing found dog lied, "a she supposed TO
give the alarm should any one approach
Returning TO her own house near by, she
provided herself with bread to give thedog
20 keep him quiet succeeded in her plan,
aud finally reached the cabin undiscovered.
There she heard the negroes discussing
the mode by which different white people
in~ the ucighborhood were to be killed, a.
m)ugst whom was her husband, who was 10
be shot. Other whites were pronounced
too mean to be granted so respectable a
death, and a grapevine halter was dccrccd
them. The negro mentioned above, Ber-
nard Brooks, was included in the list Of
those who were TO be killed, his offence be-
ing his Conservatism, and short work was
to be made Of him with grapevine. Fur
