An Incident.

NEwBURG, Ind, March 2, 1858.
Editors Journal:
In the year 1865, the Democratic
masses in the State of Anderson
assembled themselves together for the
purpose of forming a league, offensive
and defensive, that they might pro-
tect themselves against negro equali-
ty, which they considered fixed
fact if negroes were allowed to live,
remain and abide in their midst. The
code of the State of Anderson " was
prepared with great care by the only
Democrat in the proud little Com
monwealth that could read, and only
posted in three public places In the
" State" there being no newspaper
published within its domain. A few
days after the passage of the act $ en-
titled an act to prevent the negroes
from becoming our equals" a certain
negro man was sent. from Newburg
with team and wagon to " Ander-
son" for a load of posts. While on
the road he was accosted by the
Executive In person, who admon-
ished him of his danger, and kindly
limited that his hide would not hold
shuks if he invaded the sacred soil ;
however, he was allowed to pass. but
was warned not to repeat the offence
or the people would be aroused.
All went merry as a marriage bell
until March, 1868, when a negro in
vaded the sacred soil of Anderson,
with the intention of becoming a per-
manent fixture. A cabinet meeting
was called, and the subject thoroughly
discussed, but In view of the troubles
brewing at Washington City, and the
probability of troops being wanted to
sustain Andy johnson, it was deter
mined to ignore the presence of Sambo
and hold all the t0ell drilled troops 10
hand for any emergency.
Three Of the prominent citizens of
Anderson, becoming disguised with
a community where a negro was tOler-
ated and the laws openly violated,
/ determined to seek homes in the Far
| West, where no negro can be found,
/ and where no mulattO ever intrudes.
So, bidding an affectionate farewell to
all associates and comrades IN arms,
and taking last lingering look at the
grocery, they started for the Far
! West. On reaching Newburg, they
found the hack ready to start, but two
of them were compelled to ride on the
drivers seattle other one taking a
seat inside, where he found two gen.
tlemen and one lady. On the road to
Evansville, the conversation became
somewhat animated over the = negro. -
Mr.. Bullock, (for this was his name J
Of Anderson, declaring his intention
to 60 where no negro could be found
but just as the hack was passing
Mr.. Towards farm, the veritable
negro who had desecrated the sacred
soil of Anderson in the year 1866, was
overtaken and passed on the road
but just as the hack passed the negro 5
wagon, a pocket-book fell from the
top of the hack and was picked up by
Mr.. johnson, the negro, who ran after
the hack and called to the driver, in
forming him of what had happened.
The pocket-book was handed to Mr..
