THE TRIAL OF J. J. PHILLIPS FOR MUIR
DER.-The public mind is evidently still eX-
cited about the Drinkers Farm mystery,
and the mere announcement of the i'm
pending final trial drew together yester-
day large crowd in the hall Of the House
Of Delegates.
The same faces which became so well
known to the reporters at the preliminary
examination were now visible. The pri-
soncr, James Jeter Phillips, sat by the side
OF deputy sheriff, gazing directly before
him, the calm blue eye turning neither to
the right nor to the left unless he was par
ticularly addressed. He was dressed in q
neat suit of black, with spotlcss linen and
a tasteful blue cravat. The irons worn on
his passage from the Jail to the capitol
were removed as soon as he took his scat.
Before the accused sat his counsel
Colonel Johnson, Judge Crump, A. B.
Guigon, and G.. w. Thomas-with their
heads bent low in consultation. To the
right of the Judge sat the prosecuting
attorney, Colonel Young, with On EXPIRES
sion OF face which seemed TO say, My
duty at all hazards"
Still further to the right was the array
Of accusing witnesses - the sister and
brother of the missing woman, the former
attrcd in deep mourning and her face
covered by thick veil; the landlady OF
the Virginia House, who entertained Phil
lips and his wife tho ladies who saw the
pair walking towards Libby Hill ; the gray
haired man who fourd The bloody corpse
on Drinkers farm; tie physician who
examined it; the lady who tore frag-
ment from the soilcd calico dress; the
officers who arrested Jeter Phillips; the
Justice who committed him to JAIL. On
the left of the Judge sat a mute witness
a trunk containing Mrs. Phillips's effects
and the clothing worn By the murdered
woman.
Judge Christian took his seat at about
II o'clock, and the Commonwealth at
,orncv signiiicd his readiness to go on at
once with the case of Phillips.
Colonel Johnson desired the witnesses
for the defence first to be called. The
names were therefore called and MeSsrs. ).
+. B. Jude, Josiah Pruett, and jacob Ford,
all Of whom were spoken OF by the coun-
sci for the defence as important witnesses,
failed to answer.
The Court stated that rules had been
made upon them, rcturnablo at 10 o'clock,
and il was now an hour past the time de-
Signatcd. If counsel were unwilling TO
declare themselves ready, however, the
only remaining course was to await the re-
turn of the officer, who had been sent with
snecial instructions to bring the absent
witnesses. In the mean time the re""e
and the witnesses already in attendance
were admonished not to leave the court
room. -,
Attachments, returnable forthwith, were
issued against Messrs. jude and Pruett,
and Deputy Sheriff Magruder was sent ior
them.
After waiting more than an hour for the
witnesses the court took recess until )
o'clock. At that hour they were stltl
missing, and the court adjourned until III
this morning.
Judge Christian enjoined punctual at;
tendance on the part of venremen and
witnesses, and intimated a resort to lines
or Imprisonment if necessary.

TILE DISCHARGED NEGROES.

I advise the white people who are dls-
charging the negroes because they would
not be their ahiect slaves and vote as they
wished, hoping that they may starve and
freeze this winter, to take them back, give
them good wages, and treat them well.
The eight hundred negro men and their
wives will not be permitted to starve IN
this civilized, Christian country. Congress
will protect them and tax the property OF
the people to support the paupcrs VINO
were made such by them. If the whites
10 on as they have been doing, don't say
what will come, but do say that some.

not to get mad, but to bear it patiently, as
everything would be made right. Do not
attack or do anything against the white
people, and so long as General Schoticld
and his bayonets are here you need not
fear any injury from them.

longer, yielded the stand to Hunnicutt.

As to the authorship of this generous
offer, we would remark that the paper was
brought into the Office Of the Dispatch on
the third day of the election by q United
States soldier, who Insisted upon its publi-
cation in our columns. We declined To
give it a place even as an advertisement,
and other papers did the same. llunnicutt
now seizes this offspring Of Union soldier
half mad with the prospect Of negro su-
premacy and cndeavorS Herewith to
make capital against the Conservatives OF

THE NEGRO VIGILANCE CoNMITTEE.-
Some incredulous citizens have expressed
doubts as 10 the truth Of the statements
published in regard to the audacious warn
ings of the negro vigilance committee. We
repeat that notices to leaveo have been
served on several citizens, and compari-
son of them shows that they emanated
from one source, and are al in the hand
writing Of IT. B. G., Secretary
The persons who have incurred the dis
pleasure of the committee reside in por-
tions OF the city widely apart, and are men
engaged in entirely different business pur-
suits. 1t has also been remarked as singu-
lar that all who have thus far received
threatening letters are Of northern birth
but conservative in sentiment.
We were notified yesterday Of two more
persons who have been ordered to leave,
and one of them received q notice much
more imperative than that published on
Saturday.
The notice appended was served on Mr..
D. J. Mccormick, of the firm of McC0r-
mick s. Kelly, on Twentieth street between
Main and Cary. In this case the penalty
is death and flames. Mr.. Mccormick
hazards, and requests us to present his
compliments to the chairman of the COM
mittce.
"RICHMoSD, VA, October 2Sth.
"J[r. j. u. Mccormack:
eve the undersigned acting on i'm
pulse of honesty * the feelins of nprite
principles have taken this method OF
warnin you as to the course you now per-
sue.-.So if you, don't stop mcddiin in pol
lytiX it will be worse for you, as your dis
graceful remarks. at the poles were
noticed by more than US, who swore
to have your life. So If ever again
is heard making any remarks against
the Republican party 'or Mr.. Hunnicutt
you will be shot like a dog and your filthy
karcus thrown to the crows and Buzzards.
SO mind and take warnin, and for your
better security we will give you week 10
leave town, s. if you are not far ott by
Monday, you may wakcn in the morning
and find your whole place in flames. SO

THE MUNICIPAL OFFICERS.

7 tell YOU, my friends, there is another
thing we must have Immediately, and that
is an election for city officers. There must
be an entire revolution in this city. The
old fogies must be turned out, and loyal
honest men put in. We must lave ne"
mavor, new magistrates, new polcemen,
and new evcrything-for what black man
or Union man can get justice here now
We must petition General Sehoiicld to u
order all election; and if he refuse, petl-
ton Congress to request the General to
order it. An election we must nave, ana
that speedily. !.
The speaker, after again caunonlng MS
hearers to be moderate aud to behave
themselves, dismissed them.

THREATS 70 ASsIssry4TE HrHyrcUTE
An Election for Municipal officers 10 be
Petitioned For.

About all Of the colored voters Of the
city assembled on and around the western
portico of the capitol yesterday to hear a
speech from Hunnicutt. The time an
nounced for the speech to be made was 3
O'Clock, but he did not make his appear
ance until long after that hour. The meet
ing was called to order about 4 o'clock,
and the exercises were commenced with a
prayer from "Rev. Dr." Hudson, colored !;
after which, Hunnicutt stepped forward
and said he would introduce the Rev.
DR.. Conway" Of New York, who was on
his way South, but had stopped "to con-
gratulate us upon our glorious, triumphant
success"
REMARKS OF CONWAY.
Conway is white man, who seems to be
sort Of " foater" between the North and
the South, and while on the wing makes a
speech everywhere he can get handful
of negroes TO listen to him. While Conway
was preparing to launch himself out, Hun
nicutt said Boys, you feel good don't
you? A unanimous Yes, dat we do"
was the response. We have conquered
despite the fraudulent transactions of the
other party. [Cries of Yes, dey did cheat :;
but we beat 'cm, and gwine to do it agn. |
Yes, we have beat them. General Scho-
field has "acted like soldier, statesman,
patriot, and gentleman"
BY this time Conway was ready, and COM
mcnced. After congratulating his audience
upon their Secent success, he advised them
not to indulge in feelings of resentment
against the Conservative party. You have
much work yet to dc-this is yolr first
step. Throughout the State the Republl-
can party has conquered. All the men Sc
lected are good Republicans, but that, in
most instances, is their chief merit; yet
some Of them have capacity, and God Will
provide wisdom for that Convention.
THE C0L0RED VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
l have learned since my arrival here
that some colored men have sent notes to
white men warning them to leave. Is this
so? [Crics Of "No," "No."l | hope not.
1t is an old Shareholders dodge; and
awfully dirty work it was, and know you
will not engage in it. Cries from all sides,
eve havn't sent any, and we wont send
any."l
He then commenced talking about the
free schools, and advised the negroes to
see that their representatives in the Con-
vcntion made the FREE SCHOOL system
"thc first plank in the broad platform of
equality for ALL"
