Mr. Fisher was haranguing, and i pre

he could take a hand at bestowing course
epithets on public bodies, public function

as anv body else. There was fi r instance

some of this unfortunate tribe of red

not amounting in number to more than
five or six hundred sections, or value to
more, perhaps, than five or six hundred
thousand dollars, yet "small" as this
matter is, the General Assembly of the
State of Mississippi speak of it in certain
Resolutions in connection with the
name of Charles Fisher as a foul fraud,
not only upon the Indians, but upon the
Government. And the report made to
the Sena:e of the United States, and
I another to the House of Representatives,

little Ta lor who was imported from
Guilford into Davie a few tears siuce
and elected constable last winter, but it
was thought he had hardly had the time
to spare, tor ever since he had been em

him he had been constant riding about
in Davio County, except once when he
got over into Surry, not being so well
acquainted: with the line, and he h ijTa

tho people, and gets so road it they w ont
agreed with his sentiments that I think it
be was to fool about on our side much

rert thought that it was not a const all
but a big fat f.,W who went Jo
look for his sheep not long ago and
tracked them across the Botl.ilo Sliual
Ford, and mte one II ills. Now I teed
this fellow hunting his sheep and heard
him -say he "would be dousi" if Hen
derson would get any votes in Davie and
he was surprised to find every body in
our ride fools enough to Vote agiins!
Mr. tisher. And some of the rest
thought that it was this big man's broth

School books and would not duiriUi'o
them in Davie. And I told them that j
