would haye occupied the Superior
court was missing. The consequence
was, Judge Harris had a chance to

and he made good use of bis time.
There were about sixty old, trouble
some cases on the civil docket dis
posed of, and quite a number on tie
criminal docket.

Mb Eoitob Please give room in your
paper for the following : It is rumored by
some au principled wretch that 1 snould
have said a greit deal about the mob who
lynched Peter Stampa- Wei’, 1 just want to
say to the general public ana readers of the
Stab, that I have said nothing for the con
demnation of the lynching, aud nothing for
its justification- I did not know one indi
vidua! that was into it when it commenced
nor whan it ended, and brie is woat I have
tossy absut it. If tbe circumstances sur
rounding the case justifies the execution of
tbe lynching, then lam in favor of if- If
not, lam against it. Yet the whole truth
o' the matter is, I have said nothing to no
m jn’a hurt that may have been oonnec .nl
with this matter in anyway, i have not
been seeking to find out any that was into
the mob I knew that I was not ia it and
that's enough fur me to know- I say this
to let evt ry man live right and then he will
be out of danger of lynch and all other laws.
Os course some of tbe colored people are
talking about emigrating from Douglas
county* since the lynching took place- 1
suppose that they were laboring under in*
timidation which was caused by the lynch*
ing. but Ido not feel the least intimidated,
because I have nut done anything to place
ms iu mat cundiliou 1 feet j use as sa e here
