A correspondent of the Raleigh Sentinel, |
whiting from Wilkesboro', says:
Your old friend, Major James II. Footc,
the hero of Malvern Hill, was up before the !
grand jury for int imidating voters, the ill., /
timdation consisting of threats of the |
"Revenue" unless the party threatened |
would vote for him, and otherwise corrupt |
ing the purity Of the hallot-box. The |
Grand Jury, majority of whom were Re- |
publicans, to their credit, be it said, re-
turned true bill. So you see that the |
moral lecture which you administered to |
James at Hikes last summer, and the !
prayers that you promised to have made |
for him, have all been unavailing. Sic |
transit gloria nuIldi, or in plain English, |
'all signs fail in dry time" Foote'S eyre |
gOus seif-importance and grandiloquent /
way Of strutting and talking, has impressed !
our unsuspecting mountain people with
the idea that if they haye any business in /
the Federal Court or Court OF Bankruptcv, /
the first thing they have to do is to propi- |
tate him by the payment Of &c blackmail -
to the amount ola sow and pigs, or twenty
or twenty-five dollars, as the case NAV be. j
Many of these matters are coming to light,
and names of parties and particulars can
be given if necessary.
