"JUST FOR FUN,
Stable Burpers Arrested.

Last Friday Reuben alias Jake Morton,
Caleb Swanson, and Matt Scruggs, all col
ored, were arrested by officer Dale for fight
ing. Swanson paid his fine the next morn
ing and was released, but was arrested again
Saturday on account of his having a saddle
in his possession, which he could not salts
factorily account for. He and Morton were
suspected of being implicated in the burn
ing of stables in South Nashville, and upon
being questioned with regard to that mat
ter, stated that Morton and another negro
named Bill Harris burned the stables in
question; that they had endeavored to get
him TO Join them in those little jobs, but
that he had refused. Harris was arrested
Saturday night, but emphatically denied all
knowledge Of the matter.
The three negroes were taken before JUS
tice Claiborne yesterday, when Jake Nor
ton said that be and Swanson had burned
the stables Of Gennett, Geiger, Woodfin,
Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Wilkinson. He
said that after setting Geiger's stable on
fire they ran cut on College street, where
they waited until some one saulded the
alarm, and that they then ran up and assist
ed in removing the buggy, mules and cow
from the burning building. When asked
why he had burned these stables, Morton
replied that he did it ',just for fun" He
stated that Harris was not implicated with
them.
Squire Claiborne ordered Swanson and
Morton to Jail, and the matter will be more
fully investigated by Justice Everett at 8
o'clock this morning.

south Carolina as a Repudiator.

The following communication from a
Nashville capitalist to the Treasurer of
South Carolina will be read with interest:
hAsH9ILLE, TESN., Jan. 5, 1S74.-Hon.
F. l.. Cardoza, State Treasures, South
Carolina, Dear Sir;-This mornings mail
placed me in possession Of an act of the
South Carolina Legislature forwarded from
YOUR Office, in which it is proposed to
swindle the owners of certain South Caro-
lima State grants, and to rob entire, the
owners of others.
Ii Is q familiar adage, that frequently
honor is practiced amongst thieves, but the
Lawmakers of South Carolina have proven
themselves to be beneath even this low
standard In crime, and the plundered hold
ers of her worthless lies will be slow to &C
cept fresh tokens from her perjured repre-
sentatives, and while the pressing neces-
stiles of some whom she has Tuthlessly
robbed may force them to embrace a delu-
sive hope hy accepting her shameless propo-
sition in hopes of getting something back,
they will be only doomed TO fresh disap-
pointment. HencefOrth the honest world
will place no confidence in the promises of
such an organized pack of swindlers.
being eae o. the victims thus made
lature, do not propose to sit down and
accept paSsively such injustice. With others
| shall use my best energies to obtain redress
If Some KIND, and ] shall consider it
religious duty to intensity the d6tesJatioi
of all honorable men within my influence
against such a periidious people, who have
forfeited every claim to recognition among
honest and honorable men.
The foregoing is addressed to you in
your official capacity. With yourself indi-
yiduaily ] nave no quarrel. You have
been represented to me as gentleman, and
as such l recognize you.
Very respectfully, w. b. NEWELL.
The act referred to by Mr.. Newell was
approved on the 22d ult., and, after desig-
mating certain bonds, issued under State
authority, authorizes the State Treasurer
TO receive from the holders willing to sur
render the same, all of said certificates of
stock. and sin exchange for, and in lieu of,
said bonds and stocks so surrendered, issue
TO said holders other coupon bonds or Ger
titicates OF stock as they may desire, equal
in amount to fifty per centum OF the lace
value of the bonds or certificates OF stock so
surrendered, and that the bonds known as
the conversion bonds, amounting to S, $685.,
900, and which were put upon the market
without any authority of law, be. and the
same are hereby, declared to be absolutely
null and void"
Ihe dsIs Tins repudiated amounts to
about Sl6,0O0,000, provision being made
for the payment of fifty cents on the dollar
on S10,000,000 of said sum.

The Benedict Rail-.

1t is rarely that our citizens have been so
stirred up by the prospect of an entertain
ment as they appear to be by the coming
ball to be given by the Benedict Club at
the Maxwell House on Thursday evening
next. OF all the parties that have come off
at that delightful hotel, this is to be the
grandest, the most effective. The prepare
tions have been made on the most extern
sive scale, the management is in the hands
of those who have made names as party
givers at their own houses, and the ladies
are busy in preparing their most effective
toilets. The immense dining room will be
beautifully decorated and festooned with
rare flowers and evergreens by Michel, the
celebrated florist; the supper-carte has al
already been prepared, fine band engaged,
and everything considered to make 1t a
grand affair. We trust that the weather
will be propitious, and that the coming an
niversary of the battle of New Orleans
will be one long TO be remembered.
