THE SKIES BRreHrExIxo.-The skies begin to
look brighter for the white people of Tennessee.
There are indications that the radical party finds
itself unable to stand up under the weight of the
disfranchisng law, by which from SO, 900 to 10000
freemen are deprived of the right 10 vote-a right
possessed by every ignorant and debased negro in
the State. We observe that both the radical candi-
dates for Governor-Senter and Stokes-have come
out in favor Of convention to remove all disabil-
tiles. Wells, in Virginia, has also been compelled
to take ground against the disfranchising features
Of the new constitution. Thus, one by one, the
badges of despotism are falling from the shoulders
of the people Of the South, and a returning sense
of justice ushering in the dawn of the day OF
freedom, when We shall live under laws made by
ourselves and bring the reign of arpctbaggers to
m end

MURDER OF COL. R. W. FLoURNoY, OF GEoR-
GIA, BY NEGRO.

Our citizens were startled to hear yesterday OF
the murder of Hon. R. W. Flournoy, on Tuesday
last, at his plantation, near Saundersville, in
Washington county Mr.. Flournoy, it will be re.
membered, was the Democratic Represenfati7e
from Washington county irr the last General As
scmbly of the State. The sad news was brought
to the city yesterday by Mr. Shoates, who furnish
es us with the following particulars in regard to
the murder:
On Tuesday morning last Mr.. Flournoy remark.
ed to his wife that his stock on the place and the
crops were looking very badly, and that they were
not receiving proper attention. He said this just
as he was in the act of going out of the house.
AS was customary with him when going out, he
took pistol along with him. Soon after he left the
house Mrs F. heard q shot in the direction of the
field where negro was ploughing. and sent col
ored woman out to ascertain the cause. In a
short while she returnedy stating that Mr.. Flour-
noy was Killed, and was lying in the field. The
alarm was Immediately given, and several persons
fastened TO the spot, where they found Mr.. r.
lying on the ground, shot through the head. He
was still alive, but perfectly insensible Upon his
arns and hands were numerous bruises and bites,
which indicated that he had just been engaged in
desperate struggle. The negro who was plough.
ing in the field tells the improbable story that he
was asked few questions by Mr.. FlOuraoywhen
plOughiBg on that side of the field, and when he
had again nearly crossed it, he heard pistol ere,
and looking back, saw Mr.. F. falling.
The negro was arrested and lodged in Jail, az
his story will not bear investigation. There were
the marks of violent seufse, both upon the per-
son Of Mr.. F. and also upon the ground, and It j,
not possible they could have been made within q
hundred or two yards of the negro, and that, too,
in an open fold, without his knowledge. The
fact is, he and Mr.. F. got into scufie, about the
way things were going on, and in the seufae the
negro got possession of Mr. F.'s pistol and killed
him with it. Mr.. F. lay in an insensible condi-
ton all the afternoon of Tuesday and Tuesday
night, and expired yesterday morning.-Aaeon

JOHN C. CALHOUN AND T. J. RoBERrsox-The
following pointed anecdote, says the Charleston
New,, comes to us from Columbia.
A. S. Wallace, collector of internal revenue,
was talking o few days ago, ut Hopes cornesr e1-
patatng on the worth, patriotism and abilities of
orr distinguished Senator, Tom Robertson.
"Yes, gentlemen" said he, "he has done more
for the State than any ever did before he
has done more in two months than John c. Cal
houn did in sixteen years" An Irshman passing
at the time, hearing the remark, turned and said
"Ye are right, be Jabers-he gave us nager
postmaster"

demanded the key to the cell of the negro. He
had no recourse but TO comply with their demand,
especially as he was not within call of help, and
by this time the Jail was full of armed men. Hav-
ing thus secured the victim, they marched quietly
off with him-so quietly, indeed, that none Of our
citizens were aroused-and nething more is def
nitely known save that the body was feand this
morning, near Lyle's mill, hanging to q tree and
pierced by three bullet holes. 1t is supposed that
about seventy five men were engaged in the affair."
and there is pretty strong proof that many of them
fif not the majority of them) were from the adoin-
ing Counties of Augusta and Bath.

TREATMENT OF NEGnoEs.-?he following para
graph from the Athens (Ga. ! Banner contains
much sound sense in little space:
"The white people of this country can afford to
bepaiient and kind toward the negro, in dealing
with this question, and it requires no special So
gacity to foresee that the effort to elevate him in
advance of his fitness, Gnd against the will of
those who control the business interests and prop
erty Of the country, must rebound and end in
failure. Just in, proportion as the negroes seek
office, and avail themselves of temporary local
4sjorilea to get it, just in that proportion will
they hasten the adoption of business policy
which d;splaces them, snd secures the inevitable
supremacy OF the superior race"

STOLEN PROPERTY.

One Of our citizens has been victimized in the
purchase of stolen property, and the following en-
braces the particulars, as they have reached us.
On Friday loot, two young riding nron mulas
made their appearance on the public square. One
OF them gave his name as H. C. DAVIS stating that
he lived eight or ten miles above Fair Play, and
vas on his way to an uncle's near Lowndesville.
He wanted to trade the mule he was riding, and
in due course of time effected sale at $l30, re-
ceiving the money from one of our citizens as
Aforesaid, but not until he was duly catecbized
and had answered satisfactorily all the interroga-
tories Of his intended victim. His companion was
not fortunate, although he tried to sell the other
uAale, and came quite near making trade with
another citizen. Failing in this, the pair Of ad-
venturers left town the same evening giving rea-
sonable excuse for their hasty departure. Now,
for the sequel. On Tuesday, Deputy Sheriff JOHN
&. EARLY, of Cherokee county, Ga, accompanied
BY Mr.. JOHN H. KEErER, Of the same county,
seachod this place in pursuit of the aforesaid
young men, who had stolen both mules from Mr.
KEs7ER on the 18th instant, near Canton, Ga. Of
course, the mule was identified and promptly turn
ed over to- its rightful owner, who with Deputy
Sheriff EARLY continued the pursuit. These gen.
tlemen describe thethieves as HENRY SPENCER alias
DAVIS, who lives four miles from Dahlonega, and
A. j. BLACKWELL, whose mother lives in that place.
SPENCER is rather small man weighing probably
1856 lbs, FIVE feet eight inches high, grey eyes,
light bair, and scar on one jaw. BLACKWELL is
shorter in stature, but heavier unexpectedly
weighs $50 lbs dark skin, dark hair and eyes.
