not very high; but he seems to have faith in. his
own predictions, as he is getting out Of the way Of

Execution Of Negro Murderer. - =
Cyrus Coachman, colored, was hung at Dar-
lington last week, for the murder of Robert P.
Suggs, merchant of Florence, committed last
January. The prisoner confidently expected res
cue by the Union, League !; but though great e1-
element prevailed among the negroes in the neigh
borllood, no attempt was made to take him from
the clutches Of the law The Sheriff and most Of
the officials who took part in the execution were
negroes. " '-
Before his death, Coachman confessed that Sim
Evans and Charlie Howe NEGRO witnesses for the
State against Coachman, and who, as deputy sher-
ifs, arrested him) organized the party that killed
Suggs and robbed his store. As soon as the con.
fession was made, Governor Scott was telegraphed
to for instructions He ordered the negroes to be
arrested at once Inaccordance with these orders.
Evans and Howe were arrested by constable and
taken to Darlington jail. It is thought there Is
sufficient evidence to hang both Of them.
Brownlow Repenting.
-Ex- Governor Brownlow has fairly astounded
the people Of Tennessee, by coming out in favor
Of universal enfranchisement of "rebels. - He
thinks it mischievous and ridiculous for the Re-
publicans of Tennessee to continue the restrictive
policy, when the party everywhere else opposes it.
He, however, winds up by renewing bis allegiance
to the Republican party and cursing the Democra-
cy. The recent decision of the Supreme Court Of
Tennessee, which destroys most of the power Of
the DISTINGUISHING clauses in the State constitution
he says, has caused him to change his views. =,
This is all nonsense. The old sinner has been re-
fecting upon the vilainous record he has prepared
for the recording angel and has come to the very
rational conclusion that the devil will get him sure,
unless he gives some sign Of repentance. Well,
while the lamp bolds out to burn, &c., there may
be hope even for Brownlow. But if he does es-
cape the clutches of his old ally the gentleman
in black" his Satanic Majesty will have some rea-
son to consider himself defrauded of piece of
property to which be has held titles for many
years. ..... 49,
North Carolina Lawyers in Trouble.
Mot long since protest, signed by lOS lead
ing lawyers of North Carolina, was presented to
the Supreme Court of that State, in Raleigh,
against the open participation in the strife of po-
ltical contests by the judges of the State" No
names were mentioned; but the Court took great
offence at the protest, their honors probably feeling
themselves not gutless in the matter. ChiefJ
Pearson decided on the 9Th instant the protest to
be contempt ofcourt, and ordered the sgners to be
disabled from hereafter appearing as counsellors Or
attorneys in the court, unless they severaly ap-
peared on the 18th and showed cause to the con-
trary. "
The court greatly increased its business by this
order. On the appointed day the offenders were
on hand, each with an array of counsel from their
brethren who had not signed the obnoxious docu-
ment The case of B. F. Moore, Esq, came up
FIRST Mr.. Moore was represented by Judges Bat
tie, Fowle, Person, and Barnes and W. II. N.
Smith, ESQ.,, all of whom made speeches. The
court stated that they would give decision on a
subsequent day. That decision has not been given
yet but the Raleigh Sentinel says that adscharge
of the rule, without dissenting voice, is expected
The Judges have succeeded in raising quite tenn
pest in q teapot, and this is about all they have
done. ..- y - =, ,.-
The last mail brings the news that the Court de-
cison was to excuse the sgners of the protest, but
not to acquit them. In other words the offenders
are granted permission to practice before their
honors, not as right but as favor.
The Year of Jubilee Has Come.
$50 says the city of Boston. A great peace
Jubilee was held there last week, but with no def
mite OBJECT, so far as we can discover. 1t certainly
cannot have been to celebrate the beginning Of a
universal peace; for half the world is either at
war; or trying to get into it. The holy community
of Massachusetts itself, has just been trying to
kick up big fight with England, through its IA
yorite son, Mr.. Sumner Be this as it may, Bos-
ton had big demonstration. Music and prayer
were the prominent features. Twelve thousand
musicians and singers headed by Ole Bull, pro-
duced harmony Of sweet sounds, if not of hearts,
The music took wide range, including opera gems,
anthems, hymns and loyal airs.
According to one account, which is perhaps
apocryphal, the jubilee was opened with prayer by
1000 preachers. Whether these gentlemen fired
BY file, or offered their oblatons in concentrated
yoley, is not stated but as most of them had
probably done good service as "boodhounds Of
Zon in baying treed rebels, it is not unlikely that
the whole pack opened in concert. The Jubilee
was honored by the presence Of many distinguished
advocates of peace, prominent among whom were
Generals Grant and Sherman and Admiral Farra-
gut. But the most peaceful demonstration Of the
occasion was made by Gen. B. +. Butler, who
paraded the Massachusetts, State Guard for tho
Presidents inspection. This was in admirable
taste for if there is any soldier of the war whose
hands are unstained by the blood Of foes slaughter
ed in battle, it is Gen. Butler. We don't allude
to the military executions and judicial murders tor
which be is liable; for these are but the conse-
quences Of any peace of which Butler is the pre-
siding genius.
Velocipeding in the Air.
The San Francisco (Cal) Herald, Of May
10th, says:
"At the Mechanics Pavilion yesterday, Paul
Martinette accomplished one of the most perilous
feats ever attempted at public exhibition in this
city, by riding velocipede backward and forward
on single wire the whole length OF that mammoth
building. The wire was stretched from the front
entrance of the pavilion to the old picture-galler
at the back, q distance of 200 feet In the centre
lof the fountain was placed an upright post to hold
