We have been informed by high
authority that the State journals
have seen their error in regard to
their strictures upon Dr. lhiygood,
and arc toning down. The follow
ing paragraph., which we clip from
the columns of a prominent Geor
gia paper, of Wednesday, however,
shows that there is at least one oth
er iiilhieiitial State journal besides
Tiik (Ttizkn which stands unre
constructed in regard to the course
it has pleased the reverend gentle
man to adopt towards the people
of the South for the past two years.
Our contemporary says:
“It is given out that Pledger’s
delegates to the Louisville negro
convention intend to insist on be
ing received into the best hotels in
the city, just us white people. Pledg
er simply proposes to put Dr. Hay-
good’s theory into practical work
ing—not being able to see why
white hotel proprietors may not en
tertain negro guests if white men
and women are in the line of duty
when teaching negro pupils and as
sociating on a footing of equality
with them. But Pledger will find
that Dr. Haygood doesn’t repre
sent the South, and that lie will
not even take his own medicine.”
Senator Brown has tendered an
invitation to the Legislature to vis
it the Louisville Exposition at his
expense. Everybody who knows
the astute Senator, knows that he
never moves without nil object in
view—near or remote—and it is ev
ident that lie has not acted in this
instance contrary to his accustomed
well defined policy. A contempo
rary suggests that as next year
brings the election of Senator, he
is electioneering* to secure his re-
election—to become his own suc
cessor. If that is alt, we are con
tent—let him have the glittering
lmulik*. lhit we fear that his eye
rests upon n more valuable object.

i tin* ear precipitated the ladies vio-

the one Avitli the child to lose her

advanced to a seat close to the bi

men as tlie llahhershams, Bryants,

1777, lie was elected from among
sueli men to he tin* governor of the
State, and from the necessities of

When lie was elected governor, his

“If you make that a point,” said

your fares in return for the two
seats.”
“We don’t Avant your money,” re
torted the young man Avho had
spoken before, insolently. “Wo just

The old man Hushed angrily. “I
came from the South,” he said, “and
if there a man Avere to act as you
do under these circumstances, we
should look upon him as a cur, and
pitch him out of tho AvindoAV.”
“Do you call me a cur?” screamed
the young fellow springing to his
feet.
“Do you refuse to relinquish your
seat?”
“Yes; and do you call me a cur?”
“I consider you to he far lower

As the old gentleman uttered
these Avords the young fellow made

that “Frasia” and Garvitt AA’ereto
gether at his fence, some hundred
yards from the house, lie started
toAvards them. They ran off.—
Noles hurt himself, and it being
about dark, lu* gave up the pursuit.
Frasia Noles went to her brother’s,
Marion Noles’. He thereupon
locked her up in his smokehouse,
and kept her there a day or two
and turned her out. Garvitt laid
gene to his father’s, in Alabama.—
Frasia amis again locked up in Ma

she got out in the evening, several
persons testifying that she avus seen
at Marion’s that evening, Avliich
was the last seen of her. Noles
sued out a Avarrant against Garvitt
