ZEBULON BAIRD VANCE AND THE CRIMINAL
LAW

The rebel Legislature which assembled in
1865 were moved by certain interested par
ties to pass an act of general amnesty where
by the said interested parties hoped to be
relieved from the penalties of crimes which
they had committed during the rebellion.
The late Convention repealed this iniquitous
act and allows the law to take its course
against these criminals. The question arises
whether there is any old black letter prece-
dents to be found which go to prove that the
amnesty granted by the Legislature cannot
be set aside by any subsequent legislation.
Suppose, for instance, that Mt. Phillip Sink
and Others were brought into court of
justice to testify and the truth to say in be.
half OF the State against Zebulon Baird
Vance, for his brutal treatment of women
and children during his term of so-called
office. And suppose further, that the jury
should return a verdict of guilty" And
suppose that the said Vance should be as
signed quarters in the Penitentiary (soon to

brogans for worthy colored citizens would
the sentence Of the Court be carried into
execution, or could it by any means be
avoided2 While there is no disposition on
the part of the loyal people of the State to
wreak vengeance on any one, it would be
gratifying to them to see justice melted out
to those who transformed themselves into
demons and waged war on the helpless and
unoffending. =.

School TEACHER LYNcHED AT SALISBURY
TENNEssEE.-The Memphis Post gives an &C.
count Of the mobbing, on Saturday evening, oil
teacher of colored school at Salisbury, Ten
nessee This place is located on the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad, midway between Grand
junction and Corinth.
Mr.. L. 8. Frost is white gentleman who was
employed by the Freedmen,s Bureau and sent
thither to teach colored school about month
since. All went well until the Rebels received
the news from Washington on Saturday evening,
when half dozen of the Presidents sympathi-
zers disguised themselves, by blackening their
faces, and called upon Mr.. Frost, cooked their
drawn revolvers upon him, and beat and batter
ed him to their cruel satisfaction. Their only
excuse was their determination that no white
man should teach colored children at that place.
