brought to the city to-day at 10 o.
clock in possession of Sheriff Good

don county. When the train arriv>
ed, there were over thousand peO-
pie at the depot. The coffin was
placed in a wagon, but the horse
could not be driven through the
dense crowd. A mob took the horse
out. and caught hold of the wagon
and started up the street, bowling
like demons. Loud cheers were
sent up for the Foute and Goodall
posse, who were seated in the wagon,
which the mob pulled to the Jail,
where the body is now confined.
Threats were made by the maddened
devils to take the remains from the
case and hang them. There was a
strong talk also of burning the body.
From sunrise tomorrow till noon, the
case will be opened for inspection.
The body has already been identified
by several in this city, as that of Bob
Taylor. At Rock wood, whore Elem.
Taylor lives, the doors Of the car were
locked so as to prevent disturbance.
He was dissuaded from coming here,

A Union City special to the World,

A Union City special to the World,
last Friday, says:
Gen. Thorpe said in his speech
that Gov. Hawkins claim to the
support of the colored people was a
fraud, because Hawkins did not do
anything to free them, but on the
contrary did what he could to prevent
them from being freed. He said that
about six weeks after Lincoln's eman,
cipation proclamation was promulga-
ted, Lincoln issued another procIa.
nation, to the effect that the negroes
would not be declared free in any
southern state that would send repre-,
sentatives to Congress within Ger.
tain time. and that a lot of union
men then met at Trenton-the speak.
err among them-to elect Represent
tative to Congress from this district,
in order that they might avail them>
selves of this last proclamation of the
President and prevent the negroes
from being freed in Tennessee that
they elected Alvin Hawkins to go to
Congress for that purpose, that he
accepted the place, and went to Wash
ington to take his seat in Congress to
prevent the emancipation proclama,
ton from taking effect in Tennessee,
and the President would not agree TO
continue the negroes in slavery in
Tennessee unless there was full rep
resentation in Congress, hut he said
Hawkins received $4,000 for his eff,
fort TO keep the negroes in slavery
Gen. Thorpe said he knew this to be
true of his own knowledge, and il
could be established by hundred
men.
So it seems that the Governor was
not so good a friend to the negro as he
now claims to he, but did all he could
to keep him in slavery.

active interest in educational matters.

the friend of schools and their teachers.
