ApprelianKions < >f n serious rollis
ion, awaki-ned liy recent unfortnnnte
oecnrroneos at this place, were wide
spread and lively. Our own citizens
participated somewhat in this feeling
-—not however, perhaps to as great an
extent as it. prevailed among those
who are at a distance,and who do not
know well the eminently law abiding
character of our people, The sad la
bors of yesterday seem to have per
vaded with solemnity the minds of
our entire people. While there was,
mi the part of the whites the most
settled determination perhaps ever
felt, not to give way one inch at the
polls, there was also a determination
to do nothing to arouse the ill-feeling
of the other race. It may be said to
the credit of the negroes; too, that
there seemed upon their part, an
earnest determination to keep (piict,
contenting themselves with the exer
cise of their right, to vote without any
of those impertinent and offensive dis
plays, which they have sometimes j
made while exercising this right.
Whether it was the fear of meet
ing a more bitter and fearful resell!-;
ment than any heretofore encountered
by them, ora participation in the in
tense regret felt by so many in con
sequence of the calamitous occurrence
of the last election, or a conscious
ness of the defeat that awaited them, j
or merely a cordial and sincere de
sire to aid in the maintenance of law |
and good order, we need not care.
We give them credit for what they
did -we commend them for coming to ;
the polls, depositing their votes, and
returning, as many of them did, to!
their homes. There was no effort on j
the part of the bad ones to deter those
of them that were disposed to vote
tin Dsn critic ticket, and in'
c tuseqaeacr, there was an increase in j
tile number who did so. There was
the 'a >st absolute quiet that perhaps
ever prevailed at an election at this or |
any other place.
We send greetings to our sister;

Scarcely had our citizens gotten to
their homes from the burial of Hon.
J. H. Hunter before the sad announce
ment is made of the death of Mr. D.
U. McNeil, one of the first settlers of
this town, and one who has always,
until the infirmities of accumulated
years until ted him for it, been honor
ed bv his fellow citizens with positions
of trust and usefulness. He was elect
ed throe different times to the office
of sheriff, and twice to the office of
Treasurer in the county, these repeat
ed favors showing the esteem and
confidence in which he was held. His
illness was only of short duration,and
lie died comparatively without suffer
ing,on Tuesday morning at about five
o’clock. He was a zealous member of
the Methodist Church, aud contribu
ted largelv, by his labors, to its
growth in our community. The fam
ily may he assured of the warm sym
pathy of the community.

DEATH OF ( APT. JAMES 11.
HUNTER.
Ills Itnrinl—-The Largest Funeral Pro
cession Ever Seen In Oar
Community.
The death of Hon. *T. H. Hunter
has cast a shade of gloom over the
heart of every true lover of his coun
try that inhabits this county, and
of tin* many, many friends of the de
ceased throughout the State. This
calamity took place ou last Saturday
night between nine and ten o’clock,
resulting, as was established beyond
doubt, by pusl marl,mi examination,
from the wound indicted on him at
the October election. It. is a source
of comfort to know that his filial end
was calm and apparently painless;
and still more comforting that, with
the conciousness of his end at. hand,
and in the full view of the teachings
of our holy religion, he expressed him
self content to go.
The county and this entire portion
of the State, though much bereaved
within tlio last three y< ars, by the
death of an unusually large pro
portion of its most highly esteemed
and efficient men, lifts not sutterred
more heavily at any time than in this
instance. A wider circle of personal
friends no man among us had. A
more warm hearted man, a more
faithful and devoted public servant, a
more useful citizen, or a more Jdili
geut and popular lawyer, we ha ve not
left among us.
His physician had never been very
hopeful for him from the time he re
ceived his wound, but many of his
friends, not being alile to judge hv any
hut external indications, continued
to cherish the hope that he might
recover—this hope being encouraged -
by the earnest desire they felt for its
accomplishment.
O.i Monday his remains were in
terred by the Masons, Hon. A. 11.
Hansell officiating, by request, ns
Master of the Lodge. The largest
concourse of citizens of flic commu
nity and county, that ever gathered
for .‘.ueh a purpose, among whom
were a number of our’colored citizens,'
participated by their presence with [
his brother Masons in the solemnity
of that occasion. The fraternity met;
at their lodge, marched to the house j
of A!r. -1. M. Witt, where the remains
were lying ((‘apt.. Hunter was too
severely wounded to be carried out of j
town'to his own home, and tlie house :
of the above named citizen had been
generously opened to him), carried
the remains to the Baptist church, of;
which he was a member, where funer
al services were performed by the.
pastor, after w hich lie was carried to ,
the cemetery and buried amid the:
profonndest respect and sadness.
The early advantages of Capt.
Hunter were not of the first order,
hut his nal.vj la'cut and persistent
diligence, combined as these were;
with great integrity and probity, had'
secured for him a high and honorable
position among Lis fellows. He lmd
servedliiscounty a number of times;
in the Legislature; he served his on- j
tire country, with unflagging patriot
ism, during the struggle for indepen
dence which was made by (lie South
a few years ago. If there was any
thing in which his zeal surpassed his
judgment, it was perhaps in liis at-,
taehiuent for his o\vn peculiar section
of this broad,- fair land.
It is not possible to close this no
tice without saying something about
, the circumstances which immediately
led to his death, although they have
been heretofore discussed in the col
umns of this paper. By the hands of
1 a man who lias never rendered his
j country any service, except such
ias could be rendered bv the use of
; his muscle, (no more important ser
j vice than that of the beast) our land
has been bereaved of one of its most
estimable and useful patriots. It is
not strange that under these circum
stances, there sonld be intense indig
nation felt by the country against the
perpe'r i'i mof this deed. But that
indignation is restrained by tlie high
respect for law, which lias over mark
ed the conduct of our citizens, and by
the sad messages of the man himself
after the reception of his fatal wound,
sent out from his room of suffering
from time to time to his fellow cit
zens. As was stated from the pulpit,
by Mr. Campbell, the Captain, know
ing what indignation would be felt,
and what suggestions of vengeance
might arise, said time and again,
“Tell the boys, for me, not to [do
anything rash; be calm; let the law take
its course; get them to remember that
the Scriptures say, ‘Vengeance is
mine; I will recompense, saitli the
Lord.’ ”
Sam Griffin is, we think, about
ready to follow the example of “Uncle
Josh,” and renounce the devil and
the Radical party forever. He told
us last night that he was “done with
politics.” “"Whilst the lamp holds
out to burn, the vilest sinner may re
turn,” Samuel.

NICK THOMPSON.
The Murderer of (’apt. J. 11. Hunter
Interviewed in Ills Prison Dungeon.
On Tuesday afternoon wo visited
the county jail for the purpose of in
terviewing Nick Thompson, (lie negro
! arrested ott the day of our October
election for stabbing Capt. J. H. Hun
ter, and who now stands charged with
murder.
Upon being admitted to the cell
l where the prisoner was incareoriited
we at once explained our object in
seeking an interview, and soon suc
ceeded in gaining his confidence mid
drawing him out into a free conver
sation. Finding him very willing
| to talk of the tragedy in which he
figured so prominently, we interroga
ted him directly, and as lie answered
onr questions without hesitation, we
give the c iiivors; ton as it occurred
in as nearly the same words as possi
ble:
Reporter—“ Well, Nick, what is
your ago, where were you raised, and
to whom did you belong before your
! emancipation?”
Nick—“l am twenty-four years old,
was raised in South Carolina, and be
longed to a man by the name of John
Bratton. I came to this country
about eight years ago.’
Reporter- “Where have you been
1 v ng this year?”
Nick-“With Mr. J. M. Harris.'’
Reporter—“’Were you expecting
any trouble here oil die day of elec
tion between the whites and blacks? ’
Nick “No, sir; I had no idea of
getting into trouble of any kind."
Reporter "But don't you think
that some of the colored people ex
pected and came to town prepared for
a difficulty ?”
Nick “Some of them might, but I
didn’t.”
Reporter Were you acquaitcd
with Capt. Hunter?”
Nick—“No, sir; I had heard a good
deal of talk about him before, but
never knew that lie was the man un
til we had the difficulty.”
Reporter “Had you not always
heard Capt. Hunter spoken of as a
very polite and peaceable gentle
man ?”
Nick - “Well (hesitatingly) yes,
j sir.”
Reporter -“Well, why did you fol
-1 low him up and use the insulting lan
i gunge which you are reported to
have used whilst he was carrying that
old colored man to tlie polls to
vote?”
Nick—“l did not follow him up,
neither did 1 speak to him.”
Reporter—Why did yon get Into a
; difficulty with him then ?”
Nick—“Ho struck me with a
stick.”
Reporter—“ What aggravated him
to strike you with liis stick?’
Nick—“ Don’t know, sir.”
Reporter—“lt is reported that you
' gave him the damned lie; is there
any truth in this report ?
Nick—“No, sir; I only said that I
; had been a friend to old man r
for a long time, and I did not think
In' would vote a Democratic* ticket;
then Capt. Hunter struck me.”
Reporter— “But. Nick, there are re
liable men who will swear that you
did call him a damn liar. It seems
by this that some words must have
passed between you before Capt.
Hunter struck you."
Nick- No, sir; I did not have any
words with him at ail.
Reporter “How many times/lid ho
strike you before you stabbed him?”
Nick—-“I don’t, recollect, for the
first lick almost knocked my senses
out of me.”
Reporter “Did Ben Jordan strike
Capt. Hunter before or after y u ■ u
him ?”
Nick—“l don’t know, did not see
him strike him at all.”
Reporter—“ Did you not sec any
one strike him?”
Nick—“No, sir.”
Reporter —“What made him fall so
suddenly, then; do you suppose it was
the blow you gave him with the
knife ?”.
Nick- “I don't know. When I cut
at him he was beating me over the
head with his stick as fast as lie
; could, and I could not sec what,
nu ule him fall.”
Reporter—“ Well, I suppose you
j know that ('apt. Hunter is dead, and
| that after a jio.d mortem examination
: his physicians swear that to the best
|of tlieir knowledge and belief liis
death was produced by the cut in
flicted by you. Do you not know
that you now stand charged with
! murder, and that you will have to be
tried for your life ?”
Here a clouded look of despair
seemed to come over the prisoner, and
he held down his head, liis eyes filled
with tears, and for the first time his
whole frame trembled with emotion
He finally recovered himself suffi
ciently to answer that he did not in
tend to kill Capt. Hunter, and that
when he cut him he was only acting
in self defence.
Reporter—“ Why, then; did you use
your knife; did you not know that
! your ussailiu.t was a small man of
little physical strength, and Jhyt you
could prevent his hurting you by
taking hold of him with your hands?"
Njick—“l was so much excited that
I did not think about what I was do
ing.”
Reporter ‘ Did not some of vour
color tell you to go ahead, that they
would see you out?”
Nick “No, sir; they just got
around me after they,took ('apt. Hun
ter off, and tried to keep the white
people off of me.”
Reporter did any white man offer
any violence to you?”
Nick—“ Yes, sir; Mr. Creech come
up and boat me over the head with
his stick, until I took it away from
him.”
Reporter “Did not Mr. Thrasher,
the Sheriff, protect you after lie ar
rested you, and order every man that
approached to stand back ?”
Nick “Yes, sir.”
Reporter -"Well, Nick, do you feel
that yon were justifiable in what yon
done; or, in other words, do you think
you did right ?”
“Nick -No, sir; I think we both
done wrong.”.
Reporter “ Well, do you not feel
that you have taken the life of a fel
low man without sufficient provoca
tion, and does not your own ron
s-ieneo condemn you for the rash
act ?’’
Nick—“ Yes, sir, I know that I done
wrong, and if it was to do over again
1 should act very .ifcr.yMitlv. I am
mighty sorry that Capt. Hunter didn't
get well.”
Reporter- "Well, Nick, the proba
bilities are that your trial will not
come off at the term of Court now in
session, lint I understand that a spe
cial session will be held some time in
the early part of next month, proba
bly, at which vour ease w ill be tried.
Do you not feel anxious about it ?”
Nick “Yes, sir; I wish they would
try me right away; I want to know
what they are going to do with me.”
Reporter- “Have you advised with,
or employed any lawyer?”
Nick—No, sir.”
Here the prisoner began to ques
tion us as to what wo thought of his
chances to get justice under the law,
Are., and asked what we should do
were we in his situation. He had
been talking very freely with us, and ;
evidently expected or hoped for some
word of cheer or sympathy from us. ,
He seemed to be totally ignorant of
the course his ease would naturally
take by a due process of law, and ap
peared gratified when we told him
that l.e would Li*=se a fair aud impar
tial trial, and that he would have the
right to introduce witnesses for his
defense before a jury sworn to render
a verdict according to the facts devel
oped in the ease in conformity with
the law. He said he did not rest well
and that his anxiety to know his fate .
rendered him miserable.
He seemed desirous of talking lon
ger, but as we found bis continued
conversation to be simply a reiteration ■
of wlmt we had already heard, we.
quietly withdrew.

The following document in circular
form was distributed freely among the
negroes on Sunday, the Ist inst., as a
last resort to bring them to the polls
on election day. Although it bears
the appearance of having been issued
by the “Republican Executive Com
mittee,” the document is certainly one
of Whiteley’s own get-up. We un
derstand that it was circulated very
i extensively at the colored camp meet
ing near Quitman on Sunday last;
i and we give it to oiu; readers without
comment, as every intelligent man in
1 this country, if left t/draw his own
! conclusion, will at once decide that
!it is simply another “mule and forty
! acres of land” hoax. Here it is:
The press of Georgia has exten
sively copied and approved the arti
cles from the Louisiana Democratic
papers, advising planters and others
Ito band together for the purpose of
I preventing Republicans who vote the
ticket of their choice, from obtaining
employment, it therefore becomes the
duty of every Republican Club of
Georgia, especially" the colored Re
publican, to take immediate steps to
form a State Association to act in
I connection with an agency already
' established, composed of leading men,
' with a view to removing the Repub
lican voters from unfriendly coun
ties, towns and precincts, where they
cannot peaceably enjoy the rights
guaranteed them by the Constitution
|of the United States. Let every club
! at once select one or two active mem
bers, whose duty it shall he to obtain
i a list, of planters and others who at
j tempt to control the votes of their
i employees. Guilty parties should be
i arrested and tried for any violation
■ of law, and in addition, let them learn
| that your labor is to them a necessity,
and that you will seek employment
where you can peaceably exercise your
rights. Your friends in Georgia and
i elsewhere will aid you in leaving ev
ery section where you cannot vote as
you choose. There are sections in
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Miss
issippi where labor is in great de
mand, and where you can remove to
at any moment, your expenses paid.
The great "Western States, Kansas
and others, are open to you for set
tlement, under the wise policy of the
j government., and all that is required
on your part iH manly concert of ac
tion. An agency lias been establish
ed ill Atlanta for tlio purpose of ad
vising and aiding all who wish to re
move from iiifrieiidli/ luculilii's tooth
ers within the State more tolerant and
less vindictive. This agency lifts al
ready recorded upon its books lands
ifo rent and sale in ninny States, os
ti'ill u.< in Omri/in, healthily located,
and where labor is in dt iliaisl. As
; the movement Ims already been iu
j augurated to coerce you to vote
j against your principles or to deny
you the right altogether, prompt ac
tion on your part is necessary; re
! solve now to work for no man who
denies your right to vote. Leave
unfriendly neighborhoods, and like
men, resolve to do right and demand
right. Organize your clubs and it
you cannot obtain justice go out from
the land and trusting to the guidance
of him who said: “The poor ve have
always with von.” Seek homes where
justice is done, where men can be
found who love law, order ami jus
tice. Let every Republican go to the
polls oil the third of November, and
cast liis ballot for the nominees of liis
party, and after the election take im
mediate steps, through the presidents
of your clubs to leave, not only un
; friendly counties, towns and precincts,
lint unfriendly planters and others
j who want your labor but w ill not see
justice done you at the ballot box.

There was a Radical vagabond
in Quitman on Wednesday who was
j not very favorably impressed with the
town. The white people would not
notice him, and he got drunk, and
then the negroes would not have any
thingffo do with him. We . think he
must have “laid out” all liiligt, as we
; learn he remarked before taking his
departure that “this was the d—est
’ town he ever struck—a Radical
! couldn’t even get a bed.”

FIFTH AND LAST GIFT CONCERT
IN AID OF THE
PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY.
A CAR!) TO THE PUBLIC.
The management have determined to have
the drawing of the Fifth and Last Gift Con
; cert* of the Public Library of Kentucky on
, the 30th day of November next. We believe
now that all the tickets will be sold, and that
the drawing will be a full one; but whether
all are sold or not, the drawing will never
theless certainly come ott* ou the day ap
pointed.
; Tho special object of this card is to call a
j meeting of the ticket-holders at Public Li
brary Hall, on the 20th of November, to
make arrangements in connection with tlie
; committee appointed by tho Trustees to su
perintend the counting of the t igs r pre
senting the numbers of tickets soi l. While
there is no actual necessity for the presence
of ticket-holders, as under our arrangements
the interests of all are equally cured for, yet
at the same time l would greatly prefer that
: as many of those interested as can, would at
tend this meeting and see each for hituself ■
how perfectly fair and impartial tin* distribu
tion must be.
Every arr.mgcm 'ufc lu#s been made for the
j drawing -but litttle more than a month re- :
mains for the sale of the remainder of the I
I tickets, and whatever is done must be done
