with good intent, to cultivate the soil and
cicatrize the wounds of a four years war,
shall be we'll received, but those who come
to cultivate the political field with the
African hand and ballot shall not be well
except by the cowardly and the
base.
We match our pen against your poinards;
we put the virtue, intelligence, and incor-
of the people against your
brides, largesses and gold. In such a con-
test we may perish, but he never dies who
falls in such a fight. We have had enough
of the furies of your fanaticism and ven
geance, piIlage and incendiarism, to be ex-
empted from the furies of your cowardly
assassinations. Carpet baggers, Holden
men, and renegade secessionists, will
learn, ere long, that there is some virtue,
courage and self-respect left among the
people of the State, despite the calumnies
with which you have sought to degrade
and disgrace them. You will feel the force
OF their indignation ere we feel the force
of yonr poinards and bullets.

He MEANT WHAT HE SAID. On Tuesday,
when the Penitentiary bill passed its third
reading in the Senate, MIR. Graham moved
that the bill be sent forthwith to the House
for their action. Davis, carpet-bagger
from Montgomery, hoped the motion
would not prevail, he thought the Senator
from Orange was acting with indecent
haste, he saw no reason why the bill should
be an exception to the general rule. Gal
loway, (colored, Grant e.ector and leader
OF his party reproved the white man by
saying the remarks OF the Senator from
were disoourteous to tht'
Senator from Orange.
Davis, (whito many thought the Sc atcr
from Orange was able to take care of HIM
self. Galloway said that was SO, bu4 as
the Senator from Orange might not care to
stOOp SO low as to notice the Senator from
he thought he would take it
upon himself. Davis (white) with sup
pressed indignation rose to question of
personal privilege aud asked Galloway
(ooiored) what he meant. Galloway (cJl-
ored) replied be meant what he sali, and
thought it fit reply to the Senator from
Montg omery. Davis (whi1t) said unthiug.
