PENDLETON AND HENDRICKS AND
PENDLETON AND SEYMOUR.

The New York correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier says The Pendle-
ton men, after their fayorite was beaten,
were determined that Hendr icks, who
they declare was the author of all their
woes, should not be benefited by his
alleged treachery; so at the very nick Of
the time, on the last ballot, when his vote
had run up to III, Vallandigham, f6rthe
Ohio men, executed grand coup detak
They nominated Seymour and demanded
that he should accept against his own
wishes, and wrested the prize from Hen.

ANOTHER SENSATION EXPLODED

The Press and Times is most unfortu-
nate in the stories with which it surfeits
its readers about outrages in this State,
particularly when it locates these out,
RACES. The Fayetteville Observer of the
9th inst exposes one of its latest sensa-
tions as follows:
The Nashville Press and Times contains
an intlammatory communication, rehears-
ing that on Saturday night, goth ull., Mr..
Lowenheim, dealer 10 feathers, hides and
other articles, and a lad named Clifton
Hughes were dragged from their wagon
''near Fayetteville, Lincoln county" by
six banditti, and with pistols cooked in
their faces, cursed for being damned
Yankees" and their money demanded,
failing to get which, the feather men were
hung over and over again. The report
concludes by saying:
zone item Of interest about the affair is
that Free Mason figured conspicuously in
it. Mr.. LOwenheim is Free Mason"
Now it happens that We have made dill
gent inquiry with a view to test the accu-
racy of the above report, and we cannot
discover one syllable of truth in the whole
statement No one knows of any such out
rage. The whole story is but paragraph
from the volume of fabrications now being
gotten up by the wheeling "burlesque"
and his followers; as an excuse for calling
out the militia"

AN INFAMOUS SPEECH.

From a private letter dated 9TH inst.
from upper East Tennessee, we learn
that Col. VIM. B. Stokes made speech
at JOnesbOro on the 18th inst, of the most
violent and incendiary character Ii
surpassed anything delivered in that Sec
ton since the war, as bitter and revenge
full as many of them have been. The
letter says
"Ashburne, in all his infamy, could not
approximate the baseness of Bill Stokes in
his harangue. He told the negroes to arm
hemselres- every one Of Hem-aad should any
id Rebel, or Copperhead, or Conservative
insult them, to shoot them dolUn in their tracks
NOT to suffer them to Ire He said the day
had passed for submission to Rebels.
{" Most of the leading Radicals left Jones.
boro and attended the Democratic celebra-
ton at GreeneVille; and majority Of
those appointed on the committee of ar
rangements at Jouesboro, declined to have
any thing to do with it, assigning, as a
reason, that they wanted to get rid of the
negro. This, it appears, incensed Stokes,
and he advised the negroes to spot every
man who went from Jonesboro to Greene
vile, and see 10 them His speech was full
Of oaths and curses, and his own party was
disguised with its profanity. Nothing so
abhorrent and loathsome was ever delivered
in this section.9
If this statement is to be credited, and
our correspondent derives it from Radi-
Gals, Stokes must have been drunk. Such
sentiments coming from sober man
would indicate that he was in spirit a
bandit or bravo, the common enemy Of

January 2sth, 1883,
Editor FGyette County Heraldi
Having recently noticed in your
paper an account Of a rival hunt,
suggests to me the prOpriety Of
communicating concerning very
small hunt, by a very small party,
minus a Colonel or even n Captain ;
and It's also fact (discreditable) }
that none Of said party had even
seen military service.
A colony Of rats having been
discovered, two boys set out after
early breakfast for an onslaught,
but on reaching the premises, found
a third had started sooner and had
several tails in advance Of them /;
but the three set to work in true IT.
ish style, and each with a big stick,
had by u o'clock NJ, secured 1852
tails. The hides were also saved,
as Western boys don't go much on
a tale without good backiag.
Now, sir, considering that each
rat was 20 inches from tip to tip,
and of proportionate weight, don't
it set the Colonel's miscellaneous
collection somewhat in the shade !?
If two Cops and a Union civilian
can accomplish so much, what might
a Company achieve with sword and
bayonet, instead of sharp sticksY
Our rats were Of the Musk order.
l would not have you infer that
Musk-rats are the only game here,
We have all the varieties included
in your celebrated "rival hunt" col
lection; but when we go rafting
we rat.
Your instructive paper also posts
us as to the progress Of Fayette in
''ways and means" We wouldno
disparage when folks do the best
they can; but allow me to say that
our region abounds in solid roads,
and broad roads, too, that lead al
most everywhere. They do not cut
at this season, and need no
repairs,
AS to means-that's too large a
subject for scribler.
Yours Respectfully,
B. F. EDWARDS.

Influential and sagacious Republi-
