most soul sterring sermon from "Isiah
35th chapter, 10th verse. The Ran

beautiful piece of music, "He is ju.
the same to-day" His expression was

THE GOVERNOR Is WORRIED.
He Thinks the Lynohing Was Most
Disgraceful Affair.

The Governor Is gre atty perturbed
over the lynching in Alexandria. and
when seen by Dispatch man last
night expressed himself in vigorous
terms concerning the lawlessness He
received a letter yesterday morning
from Judge Norton, OF the Criminal
Court in Alexandria, but the conte nts
or nature of this epistle be was uDwill-
ing to give out, as he regarded the
communication as rather in the ma
ture OF a private one. He declined
too. to say whether or not he purposes
taking any action To an investigation
of the failure OF the military TO re
spond to the alarm sounded for them.
In the course of conversation, the
Governor said "It was a most awful
affair. aud i can't imagine how it could
have been carried through. If had
been asked before it occurred il such
a thing were possible in Alexandria, /
should have replied with a mott en-
phatic NO can't help it, though if
the Mayor OF Alexandria allows the
law 30 De thus ignored and set at
raught, can't prevent it. The trou-
bic does not lie so much in the fact
that the brute Negro was hanged. but
in the fact that the law of the State
was trampled under foot and over
ridden. There was no excuse nor rea
son for it. and the whole affair is a
great r. fiection ON the law of this
State. 1t will 60 forth TO the world
that the people of Alexandria--de not
believe that justice can be secured in
their courts"
The general impression is that the
Governor can do nothing in this mat
ter. The teiegrams received by the
Governor and Adjutant-General, and
already published. show that while an
alarm was sounded for the military,
there was no call made rpon them for
service. Richmond Dispatch, April
25th.

OoLoRED PEOPLE FLED.
All Driven from DAVIS, I. T. by a Mob
of Whites.

ARDMoRE, 1. T., April 25 As a re-
suit of the warning given to all the col
ored people in the town of Davis last
week by a mob of masked white men,
not a colored man remains in the
place.
The Federal Grand Jury, which was
called together by Judge Kilgore, to
investigate the outrages, examined a
small army Of witnesses, but reported
that it had been impossible to identify
any OF the raiders. When it became
known that no indictments had been
returned the colored people hastily
quit the town. The murder OF white
man by a colored one was the prelimi-
nary cause Of the trouble at Davis.
