Judge Hunter and the public that be
used that language to me Ia my room 81
the Stacey House, in Nashville. The
3" Loyal Indemnity Bill" was pending
befCIo the Legislature. he favored it l
opposed it. / told him il would ruin the
State by saddling it with a debt OF st
least a hundred millions, and he an
swered in the language l have above
quoted.
We are informed that over five
hundred negroes assembled st the house

sorts Of threats against Mr.. L 3 life, for
having set the spring gun that killed the
negro msrauder IN Thursday night
They insulted Mrs. Lockwood vileiy, and
swore they weu!d burn the house down.
At one time it was feared that the brutal
creatures would attempt to carry their
threats into execution then and there
We wArn the negroes against attempting
anything OF this sort, and we warn the
vile white miscreapts who are melting
them to such deeds, that just 80 sure as

Ing. Finally the was forced

the negroes becoming frightened, upset
their craft, and four Of them, as above
