cra farms, but that some one else was always
sure to have a farm on top of his. Well,

Grand Mass Nee ting.

CARRoLLToN, May Is, 1865.
There was grand mass meeting of the
Baptist Episcopal Church Society N Carroll
ton on Sunday, May II, at the Baptist Epis-
copal church.
The meeting was called to order by the
Rev. Thomas Peterson, who was unanimous.
ly declared president.
After a few preliminary remarks the
president introduced the Hon. r. G. Gard
ner, president of Club No. 2, who made a
lengthy and noble address to the assembly.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gardner's remarks
the crowd gave cheers upon cheers for the
orator.
The president next introduced to the as.
sembly Captain Chapman, who also made an
eloquent speech and was cheered from time
to time.
He was followed by Mr.. Villere, who also
made an able address and was also chcered.
After the speaking was over a motion to
return thanks to Hon. r. G. Gardner, Cap
tain Chapman, and R. Yillere for their ad-
dresses was unanimously adopted.
The following resolution was adopted:
"That we, the freedmen OF the parish OF
Jefferson, will stand firmly and solidly
united to the Baptist Episcopal Church, and
also to the Radical Republican party"
The meeting then adjourned.

ment. The ballot boxes were at Captain
Hove's store, and for several days previous to
the election reports were prevalent that he
and others would use powder and shot before
the negroes should vote for the Republican
nominees, and even on the morning of the
election he was heard to say to some colored
voters that he would shoot the first id
rascal who voted a Radical ticket.
Through fear of personal violence the
rebels kept some Colored men from voting
while those who had arms went to the
polls with apprehensions of danger, as some
OF them had experienced the ill effects o.
his overbearing and malignant temper,
The purpose to intimidate would have
eliminated badly had not those men gone
prepared to resist the determination to make
them support the Democracy. AS it wal
the colored citizens meeting with no armed
resistance voted and quietly returned Il
| their homes.
Captain Hove was for some weeks nego
| tiating for assistance in the enterprise
which brought him to this city.
The allegation to justify his nefariou
| conduct is the same old ''cow story" told o
| all Union men who resort to the laws TO
protection. If he was injured in person o
property the courts of justice were open tt
him for redress, and the advocate of hi
wrongs tells us he had most loyal judge t,
resort to-one of the uncompromising rebe
appointees of Ex, Governor Wells.
I would confess, however, that if COW
have disappeared the hides can be found a
Captain Hove's store, as since he came int
the neighborhood he offers the colored pee
plea premium of five dollars for them.

you can Judge from the foregoing.
