cepted by two or three negroes, who COM
PEELED BIN to accompany them across the
brise spanning the Norfolk and Petersburg
railroad TO place some distance further
from his house. OWNING their intentions,
be appealed 10 them not to murder him
bu;, turning a deaf ear to his enireaties,
they struck him a fearful blow upon the left
temple, and another across the top Of the
hoat, near the RICH: side, which instantly
tc.led aim to the earth, aud would no doubt
have persisted in beating him longer but
for the appearance Of vehicle, upon the
approach Of which they fed lie YVES Ia

but died within short time after reaching
his home
Mr. Friend was upwards of so years Of

No. s.

Hanch 'sement OF three thousand negroes, or
even OF one negro by the Democratic party,
or any acquiescence therein, he considers
dlshonorable to the party. 1t is with great
reluctance, therefore, that he pens this re-
Joinder to'ihe article styled "Thc FIirk l.
n'eadmeHt by " One Of the D;sfranchised :"
which appeared Ia the $. Brunch IateRigea-
Ger for March 18th. The more reluctantly
does be do SO, when he remembers that the
author OF that article was, whilom, States
Rights Democrat.
Ia his first proposition the gentleman
says, that these three thousand negroes will
not be voters by force OF the Flick Amend
ment, but by reason of The Fifteenth Amend
mont TO the Federal Constitution. Now it
seems to US, that it i poor Dem crazy
tGlt recognizes he validity Of the Fifteenth

GOVERNOR JACOB 5 CONTINGENT Fund
We learn from the Charleston Courier
that of the $4,000 appropriated by the last
Legislature as Contingent Fund for Gov
ernor Jacob, Governor Stevenson, who was
not satisfied with the $4,000 which had
been appropriated by the preceding radi-
cal legislature for him, drew out and appro-
printed about $4,000 of the sum intended
for Governor Jacob, which leaves Governor
jacob with So 900 Contingent Fund for one
Year, while Governor Stevenson spent Sll, :
GOO for the preceding year. What makes
this matter more criminaly outrageous, is the
fact that the money was spent to pay fees
OF lawyers who defended the Registrars a
gainst the enforcement Act of Congress.
No wonder the radicals die hard We are
told that some of our public institutions
have been drawing upon futurity, so that
when tho Democrats assume the reign of
power, they will have no money to spend.
