Citizens Meeting.

On Friday last large number of tbe
citizens of this county assembled in the
Court House to give some expression Of
the sentiment of our people in regard
to the disposition of persons in some
localities to inaugurate mob violence
and more particularly in regard to the
very disgracfnl conduct OF some parties
in Gibson county who have seen lit to
take the law into their own hands, in
that they have taken from the Trenton
Jail a number of, negroes, already in
charge of the proper officers, and put
them to death.
Col. VIM NuckolIs was called to the
chair and W a Caruthers appointed
secretary
Judge Fentress, in Offering the Pre-
ambIe and Resolutions which follow, de-
nOunced in severe but appropriate terms
the conduct Of the masked men who
have so ruthlessly dealt with the offend
ing negroes in Gibson. He heartily
condemned the spirit of Iawlessness as
manifested in few places, both by
whites and blacks, ana thought the law
sufficient, if left to take its course in the
hands of the proper officers.
Judge Foute, in. seconding the Resoln>
tons, spoke of the evil effects of acting
outside of the law, and depIored the ex-
istence of a disposition in any part Of
Our State to override the means which
the State has provided to satisfy the ends
ofjustice
The Preamble and Resolutions were
unanimously adopted. They are as fol
lows:
We, portion Of the people of Hardes
man County having learned that recent
ly the laws of the State of Tennessee
have been wantonly violated by band
of masked men taking out CT the custody
Of the law, sixteen unarmed and helps
less citizens, and being DESTROYS Of
manifesting our utter disapprobatlon
and condemnation of such outrageous
lawlessness do resolve,
Isl. That public sentiment in the coun-
ty Of Hardeman, Is, and as far as we
can control it shall always set its face
against ali such dastardly outrages, and
we declare that the same in all its parts
is utterly condemned by our whole peo-
pie
2 That the perpetrators of said out
rage, should be sought out and made to
suffer at the bar ofjustice and law which
they have violated, and that we commend
the action Of the Governor of Tennessee
in offering a reward for each of the Of
tenders, and urging the officers of Glib
sen county to their utmost exertion in
arresting tue guilty persons.
3. That the people Hardeman will
maintain the administration of law by
the courts, and that the rich and poor
white and black shall be protected from
mobs and masked murdereTs, and they
deprecate any attempt of any part of the
people in taking the execution of the law
in their own hands
4th- That the Bolivar BULLETIN and
Memphis papers be requested to pubs
lish the proceedings of this meeting.
WIN. NUCKOLLS, Chairman.
W. A. Ca RUTHERS, Secretary.

Meeting No. 2.

Late in the afternoon on Friday last
we were attracted to the Court House by
the ringing of the bell, and on going
thither we were informed that the meets
ing had been called under republican
auspices for the purposes of counseiing
moderation on the part of all citizens,
and more particularly for the purpose
Of delivering sage advice to the colored
people
Geo. A Woodson took the floor and
led OF in his usual positive style, butwe
followed him through the greater por~
ton of his harangue before we discover
ed any thing that was appropriate to the
occasion, or that savored of sound com
mon sense. He spoke many useless
words, and whit little reasoning we de-
tected was from false premises Surely
the great or Part Of his speech was rath er
a menace to the white people than sage
advice to the negro He did make out
finally to say to the colored people that
they ought TO be sober, industrious,
quiet and orderly, but the effect Of these
words had been neutralized in advance
by what must lie pronounced an intern
pcrate speech. ErH Woodson
Gen. Dupuy, being called out by per
sons Of both political parties, replied
effectively to MIR. Woodson, and although
speaking as a democrat and as one ut
terly opposed to radical policy, he sue
cecded in gaining the attention of the
negroes present, some of whom publicly
expressed their appreciation of the senti>
ments expressed by the speaker,
Dr. Prewitt was present, but did not
speak, and condemned in the main the
spirit which animated the remarks of his
friend Woodson. This is but simple
justice to Dr. Prewitt whose political
ecce ntricities, as is very well known, we
do not admire.

and took therefrom $50. pounds of -four
and a bushel of meal The accused
were tried before Esquires Anderson,
Harris and Newbern last Monday, and
the evidences of guilt being strong
against them they wera required to
furnish bond in the sum Of $500 each to
answer at the next term of our circuit
court. Failing to give bond, they were
placed in Jail

1t is thought by many gentlemen who
certainly know what they are talking
about, that the crop of cotton in this
county will not be more than third of
the usual yield The corn crop is also
exceedingly short ''Hard times and
worse a eoming" is the tune most uni>
versally sung in this section at this par
tIcular time. BE economical, don't spend
any money foolishly, soc turaips and we
may all pull through safely yet.

ATTEMPT TO BURN.-Last Saturday
night about twelve O clock one of the
] colored prisoners confined in the lower
cell OF the county Jail set fire to the
building, hoping, we suppose, to make
his es ape during the confusion which
would naturally follow. Mr.. Mckinney,
the jailer, who happened to be up at the
time, gave the alarm of fire and soon
large crowd of negroes who were rambs
ling around town collected at the prison
in not haste-in fact their heetness of
foot and anxiety to be in at the opening
