Scip. Coleman's Grit.

We have had an interview with Scip
Coleman, the Radical negro who was
committed to Jail by the United States
authorities the same day that Sheriff
Williamson was imprisoned. His ac'
count Of his arrest and imprisonment Is
truly pitiable, lie was on his way to
town for medicine for sick family,
when he was arrested by sixteen ne
groes and thrust into Jail. Three small
soas Of bis were In advance with a load
of corn, with which to procure family
supplies. Their corn was stolen or CIV
on away, none of the boys being old
enough to transact business, and they
returned home empty.handed. The fa-
,her was in jail--arrested without war
rant--and his family were al home sick,
and without food lie was kept in jail
from Saturday until Wednesday eve
ming, subjected to all manner of abuse.
lie was told that he was the man who
tagged the train on which lvey was
killed, that he was bound TO be hung,
etc. Meals were sent TO him; but Scip.
said he was so terrified that he could
not eat. The purpose Of Scip's lmpris-
onment, and the terror TO which lie was
subjected, may be inferred from re-
mark hc made TO us, In these words !;

1t is ackno wledged that his moral worth

advocate Mr.. Mabry is, to stand square
to his support In this contest, aud when
the Sd of November rolls round 90 10
