case petitioned the Governor for his
pardon. All the county officers in
Duplin county urged that he might
be pardoned; some of the best wO-
men in the county begged that he
might be pardoped; and you heard
that he was about to be pardoned;
you rushed off to his friends and
told them that if they would pay you
5000 you would have the girl, who
was alleged to have been seduGed by
the negro, ask also for his pardon.
You told this to Dan Moore. Sheriff
of Duplin county. You told h1m
that if you did noU get your 5000 you
would object to his pardon: You
did object to his pardon. Will
you be good enough to explain to
the public what it was that made
you double up on your price9
You we're at one time willing to
have the judgment suspended if the
negro should pay 500 Will you ex-
plain to a curious and puzzled pub
lie why it is that you made up your
mind to extort from him, or his
friends, 5000 as the price of your
conse1 t, that he might be turned
lcoseq Will you explain9 The
trouble about it is William
when you got the negro in prison
you thought you could safely risk the
attempt to tap him for just one hun
dred dollars more than you thought
you could get out of him before he
went to prison. You wrote to the
Governor, / have been informed, and
told him you desired to be heard be-
fore the pardon was granted. This
you did simply in order that you
might have time to get your blood
pulling machine fastened upon the
negro, and you know it. Your CON
duct was exposed by proofs laid be-
fore the Governor. He therefore
notified the petitioners that il the ne
gro would pay $50 to the girl who
prosecuted him he would pardon him.
This was done and he was pardoned.
You did not get the 500 in the first
instance that you pleaded for before
the court. You did not get your $500
that you demanded after the negro
was In jail. You did not get the $50
that was paid to the girl, you are
simply mad about it, and want to
impeach the Governor. Certainly,
why mott Should not q Governor

lie treasury; who stands between you

islature from Wayne, so that you
can work up a job in ASSOCIATION
with Daniels brother from Wayne,
Duplin, and Peuder, aud get
all these fraudulent claims paid.
You are to work it to loot the
State Treasury in one house while
Daniels gets his fingers into it in the
other house. You are a nice pair to
go before the tax payers of Duplin,
Pender and Wavne and ask them to
vote for you. Yes, you are a nice
pair indeed. Tt seems that the last
count in your articles of impeach-
ment against the Governor is that he
refused to let you use the pardoniug
power to extort money from q Du-
pin county negro. You have fixed
up a screed about the Governors par
dOning a terrible criminal who had
violated the virtue of an innocent
woman. Your distressing anxiety
to preserve the virtue of negroes is
crowding the Heavenly realms with
weeping angels. You forgot to
mention, however, in your little
screed, that you are the same indi-
viduals who begged the court not to
send this negro to prison at all if he
would pay you $100. You did not
get the 500 and the negro went to
prison. About all the white people

eigh, N. c.:
MY DEAR OLD FRIEND: It is many
years since we have met; as my adj
Vanced age %precludes my travelling far
from home, and | do not remember to
have seen you since you were on the
bench in this county. However, | knew
your hOnOred father, the late Daniel
l.. Russell, Sr.) when | lived in Will
mingtOn from 1916 to 1857, and remem.
Der you as a we'll grown youth. But
relative to this petition to you to par
0On the negro boy Freeman G. Davis.
| feel constrained to ask an act OF
clemency, or rather as / regard the
matter from my standpoint as an act of
justice. Knowing as | do, all the i'll
feelings that dominated the actions
of the cOiOred and many of the white
actors in the case. The boy Freeman
Davis was raised and used to belong
to my Wifes brother, DR.. John Davis,
whom / think your Honor remembers.
and we take an interest in his affairs
from his being an old family negro:
and when you are assured by the sig
natures of the majority of the most
EGSkSCgdD1G 1uuhDlLauGS OF DuDI1m
county, that the boy is innocent of the
crime which he was SO uDjustIy con-
Victed, as you are by the petition that
accompanies this note, / feel assured
from my former knowledge of your
Excelleney's character for justice and
equity, that you will set aside the very
unjust decision of the court, and re-
stOre.a very worthy negro to citizen
ship.
l would be delighted to receive an
autograph letter from your Honor,
but suppose the affairs Of State are too
numerous for me to expect it. How
v should you get an opportunity
to drop me a line, it will be gratefully
received.
Your very humble servant.

GREENVILLE, WHOM HE HAD

GREENvILLE, N. c., Sept. s., 1893.
Mr.. EDITOR My attention has been
called to a letter which Ex-Governor II.
j. Jarvis has written about the town
government of Greenville, and as he
has suppressed some facts, | will give
them:
The town was first divided into wards
by the Democrats, in 1885. In that di-
vision two Democratic wards, with
small voting population, were given
two cOuncilmen each, and two Repub-
lican wards, with large voting pOpula-
tiOn, were given n councilman each.
The Republican legislature of 1895
simply changed the representation by
giving the Republicans two cOuncilmen
in each ward and the Democrats one
councilman in each ward. The present
town government consists of four col
ored councilmen and two Democrats,
and all the town officers are elected by
them. The mayor, treasurer and tax
collector are Democrats, sought Office
from the negro councilmen, and were
elected by them. The two policemen
are Republicans, the assistant acoloFed-
man. whose election was brought about
in this way One of the cOIored coun-
cilmen agreed to vote with the two
Democratic cOuLcilmen for a Democrat
for assistant policeman, thus making a
tie vote, and | as mayor agreed to vote
for the Democrat, thus preventing the
election of the cOlOred policeman. One
of the Democratic cOuncilmen, who is
chairman of the county executive COM
mittee and the law partner of Gov. JAR
Wis, declined, as ] wal informed, to Vete

KENANsvILLE, N. c., Aug. ID, '98.
Governor D. L. Russell,
DEAR SIR:-I had promised Free
man Davis to See you when [ carried
him up to the penitentiary but | had
a very sick baby and had to send a
Deputy.
The first action brought against Da-
Wis in this matter was a bastaFdy pro-
ceedIng.
The Constable who served the war
rant said that the defendant insisted
upon a trial, but it was not tried and
prosecutors proposed a compromise.
| have before me an affidavit filed in
the case, which states that Roxanna
Hall, being duly sworn, says that she
cannot obtain evidence sufficient to
convict the said Freeman Davis.
! also have before me receipts show
ing that Freeman Davis paid prose-
CutOrs $3.50 and their names are
signed by L. V. Grady, Attorney.
These receipts from the woman
states that it is in full settlement of
all claims she has or is about to have
against him.
A short while after this settlement
they br >ught another action for the
same Ofense, this time for seduction.
This warrant was placed in my
hands, and b girls father came to me
and asked me not to serve it; stated
that they were not ready for trial, and
insisted that / hold it for some time.
l refused to hold the warrant as a
menace and served it.
W. R.. Allen assisted L. V. Grady in
the prosecution. After Davis was SEN
fenced to two years, Allen tried to per-
suade the court to change the sentence
and require defendant to pay the WO-
nan 500 instead of serving two years
Since the trials [ heard L. V. Grady
say that he thought it was very doubt.
