! that the entire effective police force off
duty about two DOZEN men then available)
be stationed inside the jail. The chief was
of opinion that this would be useless
sacrifice of the men, for the reason that
the mob would doubtless come prepared
with crows and hammers to force an en-
trance, and good deal of blOOdshed might
be occasioned without the possibility of
successfully resisting the attack. The plan
was thereupon abandoned.
If the Chief of Police had had the nerve
Sheriff Gossett displayed i'll Blount coun-
ty as shown in yesterdays CHRONICLE, he
could have spared Nashville great shame
Twenty police, with the Mayor and jailor,
guards, &C., all determined to have pre-
vented a mob, the whole thing could have
been squelched. The six policemen who
afterwards cut Jones down manifested the
proper nerve and twenty such men armed
in the Jail would certainly have kept back
such a mob.
THE GOVERNOR "sOOTHEs" THE MOB.
When the Chief of Police, as above re-
ported, gave it as his opinion that he could
not defend the Jail, the Mayor went out to
ASH lIOIl Jllc Guy
for troops. He was gone some time and
returned to the city from the Barracks
about the time the man was cut down by
the police. He urged the Governor to
speak to the mob, which he did. The
Union and american says of it:
The mob seemed to be SOOthcd by the
Governors speech, during which he was
frequently applauded. The mob now be-
gan to disperse. Having learned that their
victim was not dead, the door of the sta
ton house was surrounded by men, none
of whom seemed disposed, however, to
further acts of violence, unless such be
necessary to secure the death of Jones'"
The prisoner at o'clock Tuesday morn
ing was yet alive, as appears from the
Banner. After being cut down from the
lamp post the Banner say:
When Jones was laid upon the floor
he manifested considerable suffering, and
convulsively gasped for breath. Every
grOan of pain from him seemed to enliven
the temper of the mob outside, and pro-
duced responsive cheer of applause.
When the wounded negro opened his eyes
and looked about him the first Ineligible
thing he said was that he had shot no
one; that he had not been where the shoot |
ing had been done. He Writhed with the |
pain from the pistol wounds, but finally |
grew more quiet under the influence of

Honest Democrats Indignant.

We have before us letter from a Demo-
crat who signs himself Jackson and
who fought calamity under the stars and
bars, which we are sorry is too long for
publishing in full
He compliments the CHRONICLE for its
enterprise and ability, but reproves US for
our political zeal and bigotry.
In reference to the Second District, he
feels called upon to protest against it as an
outrage and proof of the certain downfall
of Democracy in Tennessee. He says:
When see and hear Democrats work.
ing and acting, laboring in much travail,
for the accomplishment of one single par
ttSdn act, whereby the rights of the people
interested are entirely ignored or lost sight
of, L feel that it is time for honest men to
speak out and by the power of their indig-
nation condemn those who thus act.
He says the old districts were mapped
out when Tennessee was in the hands
of honest men. How well the "charm y
will work is to be seen after awhile. We
want our friends to cease harping about
the Outrages of the Radicals upon the
country until we clear our own ewes of the
beam or mote. We are heartily sick of
HdNIhS pdIIlOCISI1 pI6dCleu anu ueDld-
gOguery practiced. We want to see a more
liberal spirit pervading our legislative
bodies. We want the public good to be
considered in all things. We want sore
heads, zealots and impracticables kicked
out OF Democracy and higher tone given
to the party and its works. We want
mean, selfish men thrown overheard, and
want honesty to take the helm. This being
done, we may look for commendation.
Otherwise our acts are infamous. These
are plain English words, and the Democ-
racy of the writer is not to be questioned
in the true sense of the term. Maynard's
District has been put through regular
mathematical course of satisfaction, adj
dition and division, and now the legisla-
tive SOlons (D rear back in the glory of
their triumph and irreverently exclaim "

parted honesty! command not these acts

The Vice Presidency.

From the Huntington Republican,
Since it has been authoritatively an
nounced that Mr.. ColfaX does not desire
the nomination for the Vice Presidency,
the names of a number of distinguished
men have been spoken of in that connec-
ton. Among these are Wilson, of Iowa,
Wilson of Massachusetts,, Scott of Penn
sylvania and Maynard of Tennessee. Each
of these gentlemen possesses a national
reputation as we'll as eminent qualifica-
tiOns for the Office. We are more thor
oughly acquainted with Mr.. Maynard and
feel confident that in point of ability, and
familiarity with the parliamentary law,
he has few, if any superiors. We are also
led to believe that he will have host of
friends in the Convention and should not
be surprised to find him among the fore
most aspirants for the nomination. Should
the nomination be rendered him, his many
friends Throughout the Union, and es-
peclally in Tennessee will regard it as a
fitting tribute to his worth.

Terrible Accident.

We regret to hear that distressing accident
occurred at the quarry, six miles from this city
yesterday. whereby one of the men named
Fleming Kent, engaged in getting out marble
for the custom house, received injuries of a ser-
Gus nature. Kent was engaged at a hand drill
near the derrick and while attempting to get
out of the way of heavy mass of stone that was
being lowered from the cliff above, so as to let
it pass over him, the rope or chain attached
thereto by some means became foul and the
stone vibrating struck the unfortunate man
crushing him against the cliff and mangling
him in a dreadful manner. He was placed in a
yawl as soon as possible and brought down the
river to the city and taken to his home from the
landing in a blanket Medical attendance was
procured and everything done possible under
the circumstances and it is possible that he can
recover.
