about three miles north of Spencer
is a neighborhood known as Texas,
which has been infested by gang Of
miscreants, who had become a terror to
that community. Barns, mills, churches,
etc., have been burned, and live stock
maliciously butchered by them. All
efforts to secure their conviction before
the courts have so far failed Their
depredations had become so frequent
and fragrant that the citizens determined
to rid the country of the scoundrels
Last night party estimated at thirty
without disguise, took six Of them, tive
named Anderson, two named Barnes
and two named Green) to the woods
and whipped them numerically, and
gave them orders to leave the country
BY twelve o'clock to-day saturday.
They also gave the father Of the two
Greens notice to leave within five days.
One of them was hung by the neck q
short time to induce him to confess. He
confessed that another suspicious charac
ter had set certain barn on fire. The
Regulators will probably look after hin
soon, There was a good deal Of excite
ment In town to-day.

SOMETHING sRRInus.

The Washington Patriot, the organ Of
the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, has an editorial in favor of the
proposition that the Democracy shall
unite in the support Of a conservative
Republican ticket, and promises further
attention to the matter. This course is
understood to have been taken after full
deliberation with many leading Demo
Gratis. The Patriot indicates that it will
support movement TO secure the Co
operation Of such Republicans as Sena-
tor Sumner, and says, "the Senator
from Massachusetts would Bring with
him force which would command graf
itude. The concentration Of the negro
vote is the great weapon on which the
centralists and their candidate rely, and
Mr.. Sumner, and perhaps one other
eminent man, to whose name in this con-
nectioa; till his own views are more
definitely expressed we hesitate even
distantly TO refer are they who, Of all
others. can wrench that weapon from
their hand, nor could be better supple
ment bis life Of devotion TO this emanci-
pated race than by rescuing them from
the new thraldom in which they are
plunged, the fruit Of fear within aud q
falsehood without. The freedmen would
have no fear from any movement in
which men ike Mr.. Sumner co-operated,
and. instead Of being moved in masses,
As they are nov. would end themselves
as Independent as white men-free to
act and think FOR themselves.

SIGNIFICANT.

What does this mean2 1t is a special
dispatch to the st. Louis Republican,
from New York: The gathering of a
large number of leading politicians at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel is not accidental,
but in accordance with appointment.
Among those present are Butler, Blaine,
Fenton aud George Wilkes, all of whom
we're in conference last evening, and are
again discussing this evening the pro
priety of uniting upon another Repnbli-
can candidate for the Presidency, and to
drop Grant" If we could embody the
sentiment of the South, the prayer Of
every man who is for an honest govern
ment and could wreak the general SEN
timent upon expression, we could not
communicate a fact more pleasing than
the overthrow of Grant by his party.

A MfschieVOus Joker Substitutes
slices of Soap for Ham.

From the Courier-J Journal, 1Sth.l
A ball was given few nights since on
High street by the employees of the canal
and during the evening quite an anus
ing incident occurred. Ham sandwiches
were upon the table when the company
were invited into supper. Some mis-
chievous fellow, however, had few min
utes before stolen the ham and replaced
it with thin slices of soap. The men,
being very hungry, seized the bogus sand
witches and Immediately bit out huge
mouthfuls. The mistake was discovered
by each individual, but no one said any
thing about it, thinking, perhaps, that
the others would laugh at him. The au-
thor of the joke watched with subdued
merriment the numerous wry faces and
changed countenances that, one by one,
indicated the extensive circulation of
the soap. The best feature Of the affair
is that no one got angry, but all laughed
heartily at it when it was discovered that
all had bit and been bitten" " Got
your soap in yit2 ,"

The Weather Bureau of the Govern
ment has recently provided its Office, at
this point, with some improved instru-
ments at considerable expense, and
the arrangements in the office for max
ing observations have been much more
efficient The new hygrometer is one of
the best inventions for determining the
humidity of the atmosphere. Green's
standard scaleis attached, very min
ute one, graduated upon ivory with close
correctness. The bulb, which is kept
moistened, is connected with a small
cistern by a capillary wick, to indicate
the precise dew point." The anemo-
scope, which gives the direction Of
the wind, has been newly constructed,
with rod passing down the center Of
the main pole, and connecting with a
yane inside the office, which can be read
at any time of the day or night. The
main vane, which receives the wind, is
poised on steel rollers, and indicates the
slightest degree Of rain. The anemome-
ter measures with equal accuracy the
velocity Of the wind. Many persons
may not see the value of these prognos-
tications, but the gale which occurred
not long since, of the coast Of Savan-
nah was foretold three days in advance
by tracing the course of the wind across
the country, and thus ships were kept
safely in port.
