This week Dr. w. H. Lipscomb.
aud Col. s. NJ Meek Of Il G Column
bus Bar, left the city for Sherman,
Texas, to gttond the trial of Col.
Tom. Lipscomb for killing n Fitz-
gerald, a Kcn;uckian, in a personal
difficulty.
As a member Of one the first fami-
lies Of this community, and as one Of
the companions Of our boyhood, we
cannot but hope for a favorable issue
TO this trying ordeal for one whose
failing ever cleaned to virtues side"
And to that end, if it is to be eject
ed, a great deal will be contributed
by Co. Meek, who, as q criminal
lawyer, stands second to none in
M!s5issippi.-Columbu Index.
The above is the first information
we have received that an old friend
is in such a serious and unfortunate
difficulty.
Magnanimous and chivalric, a boon
companion, genial and mirth-loviag'
and not quick to take offensc the
ptovocation must have been great to
have caused Col. Tom to take ones
life. We join the Index in hoping for
a favorable issue.

Cushing's Name Withdrawn,
BECAUSE A D~IsUNIONLST.

WASHINGTON. January 14th.-
Yesterday afternoon. before the Re-
publican Senators resumed their eau
cos session, Senator Sargent called
upon the President aad mentioned 10
HIM the fact hat he had received an
anonymous note, in which 1t was
stated that on 2lst o. March, 1861,
Caleb Gushing wrote a letter TO JEFF
ferson Davis strongly recommending
Archibald Roane, a clerk in the At
torney-G ene,al's Office, to Jefferson
Davis's favorable consideration !;
Roanc having strong Southern sym.
pathies and being an able scholar,
was a eoDtribntor to 'DeBow's Re
view And while briefly abiding
to tho subjects which then divided
the North AID South, Gushing spoke
Of them as the cause Of final sepera-
ton of the Union, regarding this as
an accomplished fact. The Psesi,
dent a SHIRT time thereafter applied
10 the Secretary Of War Tor the orig
inal of lhis letter, which was pro-
duced, itbeing found among the capt.
ured Confederate archives. The
President on reading the letter at
onceconcluded to withdraw the nom.
inaton and caused a communication
to 10 written to the Senate for this
puposc. The President, before be
nominated Cushing, knew that this
gutlemcn had taken the State rights
vew of the question which agitated
he country just previous TO the break
ing out OF the late civil var but
that when Fort Sumter was fred
lpon Gushing made a patriotic speech
and offered his services in a military
capacity to assist in putting down
the rebellion. Other gentlemen had,
like Cushing, declared their opinion
hat the government had no right to
,oerce a State, yet when hostilities
resulted they were actively found Oh
he side of the South, but now that
his letter TO Jefferson Davis had
come to light stating SO broadly dis
lnion views, the President, notwith-
standing his high appreciation OF Mr..
legal attachments, resolved
o withdraw his name, apprehensiye
hat his opinions, as expressed in the
,ast, might ipjuriously affect the de-
,ision of the Supreme Court in the
Of his confirmation as Chief
Iustic.

The Board of Trade OF Columbia.
s. c., having recently passed certain
resolutions in regard to statements|
made by John J. Patterson, United
States Senator, in relation to the exist.
ing feeling between the white and CO.
lored people Of this State, and the said
Patterson having. on September 4,
1874, in the National Republican, a.
newspaper OF Washington. u. O., re.
piled to said resolutions, this Board
deems it proper to call the attention OF
the public again to the libels uttered
by the said Patterson.
The Board Of Trade of Columbia is
unwilling to notice John J. Patterson
individually; he is too we'll known in
this community to require any notice
from body of merchants claiming to
represent the mercantile community of
Columbia; he is too we'll known at his
old home in Pennsylvania to demand
notice there; but. as he is, by means
best known to himself. dignified by the
position Of Senator, representing this
State at Washington. this Board deems
lit advisable to answer him.
Mr.. Patterson is using bis position
as Senator to publish falsehoods for
his own selfish ends. The members OF
this Board represent no political party,
but consists of and is only interested
in advancing the interests of this com.
munity. He knew that there were no,
100 rifle clubs in the State; and that oI
the few existing, several were organi
cations of years standing; and that ol
the arms in their possession, portion
we're furnished by the State authori
ties.
! Above all, John J. Patterson knew
that this State is in profound peace;
that the people have borne with pa
tience the wrongs inflicted by th,
State Government, of which the So
'nator is an exponent; that they hav,
waited and are still waiting patienti,
for deliverance by peaceful meanl
from the oppression to which the,
have been subjected.
), This Board rronounces the letter O
John J. Patterson miserable libe
and u tissue of malignant falsehoods.
: The impntation that the Board O
Trade have made or makes any com
'plaint against the introduction O
United States troops, is entirel,
groundless; but they do protes
against the misrepresentation OF
which the Senator'S application wa
bnsed.
The Bolrd Of Trade hereby renew
its request that searching investiga
ton of the charges be made by til
proper authorities.
