and one OF the band to kill negroes that
neeessitated the calling out of the celebrated
militia to enable .union men to call their
lives their own and to have their homes and
property protected Why the very pres
ence cfthe animal himself on the stand and
giving utteranee to language which if used
in private life would procure his stomach
the uncomfortable duty of digesting his
teeth, was living lie to all that was said.
Mr.. L. said in regard to different riots in
New Orleans, Memphis, Mobile and Frank
lin that " Rebels got them up etc., etc, but
thanks be to God and the militia that rebels
were quiet in Franklin now" and the sly
look and knowing shake of the head threw
his sable hearers into exstacies and outlaws
and unpleasant incense arose toward this
god of repubicanism This speaker said
many untrue and bitter things of the rebels
which he never should have said of men
whom he dared not meet where they were
engaged in their unfortunate struggle and
before whom he walks to-day like an ochre
cOlOred cur dog on the outside of the fence
from a watch dog that he knows to be chain
ed. lie said that ' conspiracy was formed
by rebels to overthrow the State Government
but Gov. BrowHlow prevented it, he called
upon the patriotic governors of the great
North and North Western States to know if
they would furnish him with arms to quell
this incipient rebellion. Gov Curtain Of
Pa, Gov. Morton of In, and dozen other
great northern governors answered yes-and
in an interview with Gov. Curtain at which
chez was present Gov. Curtain said Eyes
arms and ammunition and %, 900 brave men
to carry them" Oh Rare men, oh 4 brave
Curtain and Oh II beautiful Barbour wag
cling your gibous head in company with
the pure mouthed Gov. Brownlow, and the
fighting Gov, Of the broad beamed sons of
the noble Pennsylvania He continued, 1--WE
did not need the men FOR we had loyal men
enough to use them and we had 10000
black men who could use them too'-he
also said we must keep the peace of the
State and rebels must be made to behave
even at the point Of the bayonet (whose
bayonet Barbour's y In Gods holy name 1
demand to be informed where, when and
how ICE rebels Matched out the conspiracy
spoken Of? l claim that it is our right to
be told when we did this thing, for l swear
70 you, we rebels in this county know moth
ing about it, but it might, you know, only
have existed in the fertile mixture Gt can
not he brain) in the head Of Lewis or prob
ably it might have been the child Of the
diseased mind Of that vie old man at Nash
vile who has written and printed himself
be ore the world the most prolific bearer of
foul and dirty speech fruit that has dis
graced mankind since the Gays of Thersites
and Caliban. Barbour's (our Barb you
know last half hour or hour was gigantic
effort to get up a row between the negroes
and the whites but it failed; white men were
on their guard and the negroes behaved well
but much anger was aroused by this mans
doing his best to excite the baser passions
of the negro and to make discord and strife
between him and his employer, and he was
informed by several exactly what was
thought Of it before he left town. He knew
he was safe in person and therefore put his
shoulder to the wheel and rolled up soft
solder to the cracks Of ears Of my colored
friends and fellow citizens" but when he
sat down and his truculent eye beamed
upon the ignorant tools of Radiealispl and
then raised until it met the eye of honest men
he seemed to double himself AID wiggle all
over as you have seen your pointer do when
you shamed him foT poi1ting a chicken, and
at one time J actually expected him to turn
over on his lack and with feet curled up
and tailtight between legs wag the end of 1t
as ift5 deprecate the contempt he knew he
richly deserved. y. K.
