GOVERNOR JACOBS
CONTINGENT
FIND

We learn from the Charleston Gov.
rier that Of the $4,000 appropriated by
the las, Legislature as Contingent
Fund for. Governor Jacob, Governor
Stevenson, who was not satisfied with
the $4,000 which had bsen appropriated
BY tho proceeding radical Legislature
for him. drew out and appropriated
about $1,000 Of the sum intended for
Governor Jacob. which leaves Cover
nor jacob with $1,000 Contingent,
Fund for one year, while Governor
Stevenson spent $1,000 for the pre-
eedisg year. What makes this matter
more crimiuslly outrageous, is the
fact iba. tho money was spent to pay
fees of lawyers who defended the Reg
i,,rars against the enforcement Act Of
Congress. No wonder the radicals die
hard. We are told that some Of our
public institutions have been drawing
upon fuiurisy, SO that when the Demo
Gratis assums the reign Of power, they
will have no money 10 spend.

The FLICK AMENDMENT.

On the fourth Thursday Of April

will be called upon to approve or dis.
approve Of the Constitutional amend.
seu. known as the Flick Amend

gsnic Law gives the ballot to the white

ready. He obtained it through thu
fraud and perjury of Radical rule. 1t
is not AL admission Of his social equal
i,y wh,n We vote for this Amendment
], is ,e give the white men of our State
the power of vindicaiion. No one can
accuse US Of any 'ympatby with that

will. in the eud, place the power Of
government where it Iegitima;eIy be-
long.. We have had enough of rero.
,ion by the sword, where force and
numbers vim, and where virtue and
intelligence are subdued. We must
show cur superiority by elevating the
virtue and intelligence Of our State
by giving the ballot to the white men
who have been denied it by the ign"
rance. prejudice aud brutal force thai
would place it in the hands Of thos,
Who do 20, know how to use it uhel
they have it.
The Flick Amendment gives the
ballot to the white mau-the negro ha'
it already. Suppose the Flici
Amendment. should be voted down
and the Flick men. through revenge
aud the office holders and Radical
combined, which constitute a powerful
combination. rhall. as they can, vot
down the call Of Convention, wher
are we? The bottom rail will be OF

power.
We never can approve. and by al
the goes at once. we never will ap
prove Of the acts which have produce
thi. necessity. We cannot End Ian

The details OF terrible tragedy, which co.
Cured III the town OF Madison, Morgan
county. Ca, have just been received here. The
accounts, which are authentic, state that a
young lady. whose name is suppressed for
family reasons, while on her way home IRON school
accompanied by young brother and sister, in
Morgan county. were suddenly assaulted by pow
crfully built black and 1endlsh-l looking negro who
seized the young lady. he dragged her from the
read and attempted TO violate her person; but
what with her own struggles and the assistance
OF her brother and sister the monster did
not succeed in his helish efforts. Upon reaching
home the victim related her tale OF horror. and q
party at once went in pursuit Of the negro and
ceeded in capturing him not far from The scene OF
the attempted outrage. He was soon afterwards
lodged IN the County Jail at Madison. As
soon as the nature OF the outrage became
generally known 1t occasioned the greatest
excitement IN the Town ana pubic Indignation was
aroused the criminal, 1t was generally asserted,
having placed himself beyond the pale OF the law,
