The talc that we propose lo tell is
shocking to think of. London Uyman,
a negro, who was .ooujigted in this
county of stealing foddrr. serVing out
part of his timQilh" CHe" "penitentia
ry, is in charge 5 of the ' poor house
of Bertie county. We have said be
fore in these oolums, that it was an
inauit to,thc white people of the ooun
tv, too grievous to be borne. We
should not have had anything to say
about it at this time, bnt recently wc
have heard such terrible accounts of
thU black monster's cruelty to the in
mates. Every one of the inmates are afflict
ed in some way. Still, this miserable
scoundrel makes tlicm wait upon5 his
lazy wife as if she were a queen. -
An old colored woman who had
been staying there a few days, nursing
her sick daugi iter, told the tale. She
says that the poor inmates are made
to do anything this trolop may please.
She sits down and makes them build
her fires, bring water, and do anything
else she chooses. The report comes
to us that since the good old colored
womart told the tale, this black devil
has not allowed her to go in to see her
sick daughter.
The inmates are prevented from
telling how they are treated by this
negro, by threats from him of keeping
them locked up inside of the walls.
There is a poor unfortunate old lady
in mere, wiio nas entirely lost tier
mind. We have heard on good au
thority that this convict whips her when
h' pirates. If these things are not bei
lieved by the county commissioners,
let them get the proper witnesses, as:
sure them that they shall not be harm
ed for telling the truth, and every
word we have written will be verified
, We appeal to white men every
where to help us by voting the party
out of power that has brought such
shame upon us. 1
If you arc a white man. and the
blood of a freeman runs through your
veins, then vote this party out of pow
er. Who' put London ITyman there
to oversee the poor white people! of
the county ? Radicals. Who could
remove him, but does not? The
Radicals. Who does this scoundrel
lord it over ? It is the poor of the

Commissioner, said.

It may; require weeks for him to look
up or recall the facts which influenced
his acti so long ago ; but in the mean
time, as slander travels fast, the
charges made are echoed by the press
of the j whole land, and the wrong
done can never be wiped out. If
public opinion permits this, we shall
soon find very few honest men willing j
to allow their names to be placed be
fore the people for oflice.
As ah instance of the evil we com
plain of, take the charge, which we
are called upon to believe, that Gov.
Hayes during the war stole $400 left
with him by an executed soldier. The
facts assumed are (1) that such a man
was executed ; (2) that he was seen to
give the $400 to Gov. Hayes ; (3) that
Gov. II. has not accounted for it. -Of
course, therefore, Gov. Hayes is a
hief. jRather a startling conclusion
to a man who has earned bv a lite
free from reproach a jrood name.
And yet we find some of our best
newspapers and speakers concluding
upon these facts, and boldly stating
that Gov. Tilden is guilty of perjury !

7?. JT. Furtnrm, Esq.:
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 12th
inst., addressed to me at Washington
City, has just reached me here. You
enquired whether I have an, and if
any, what, recollection of,anjthing
done by Gov. Vance during the late
war in reference to. the killing of thir
teen citizens on Big Laurel Creek in
feelings, and if called upon he could
preach extemporaneously. - :
" As we arc of the same faith, said
the young minister, suppo3 you try

a text from any part of the Bible, and
I will convince you that I-can preach

The idea seemed to delight tbeoid
gentleman, and it was immediately .
The following Sabbath, on mount

written, " And, the ass4 opened ids

, In the afternoon the young brother,
who was sitting below the. pulpit,
handed his' slip. After rising and
opening the Bible, the old man look
ed sadly around "Am I not thine

which a deadly silence reigned. After

In a letter to Rev. Dr. Bartlett,
President of the Maryville College,
in reference to the civil rights bill
then pending in the United States
Senate, published m June, 184, Sen
ator Brownlow says:
' In no State is the negro deprived
of full and equal protection beyond
the law; but in several Southern
States like South Carolina, the white
man has no rights which the negro is
lund to respect."
- He says, in all the Southern States
the negro has equal facilities for edu
cation with the white race, at the pub
lie expense, 44 though he does not pay
one-tenth of one per cent, on the dollar
of the taxes which are collected to
support the schools."
Again, he says : 4The iniquiioits
bill (civil rights) does not affect Davis,
Toombs, and the leaders of the South.
It is, in reality, a uwr upon the hun
dred of thousands of destitute tcidows
and orphans of the South.11

and boldly stated by-newspa-
and speakers everywhere, al-
the facts show that there nev
er was a more baseless charge made.
What are the facts ? It seems that
in December, 18C3, Gov. Tilden, like
all the pest of us, made a return under
oath ofj his income for the year 1862.
That return showed that he received
in 1862. subject to taxation under the
law, a little over seven thousand dol
lars. In a suit now pending on be
half of jthe St. Louis, Alton and Terre
Haute Railroad, the Governor swore
that hcj received in 1862 twenty thou
sand dollars for services which were
44 commenced prior to the year 1859,
and were rendered from time to time
during a period bf three years."
These are the simple facts, and the
whole of them, and on them the charge
is made ofperjury, assuming or j inn
ing over entirely the one further pre
mise necessary for a conclusion and
that is, (whether, under the law, the
twenty thousand dollars received from
the railroad should be included in the
return, j Assuming, we say, that this
twenty thousand dollars should be in
cluded, while the instructions of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Lewis,
issued at that time, state clearly and
positively that it should not be in
cluded.! For the benefit of those who
may ha je forgotten these instructions,
we insert the following extract taken
from them, as published in our Hunt
ATercItanW Magazine for August, 18 63, j
page 139: Jr .
A merchant's return of income
should cover the business of the year
1862, excluding previous years. Un- i

could in the then disordered condition
of affairs in that county and country
generally, towards bringing the guilty
parties to justice and merited punish
ment. Keith escaped, and continued
to flee until after the close of the war.
I am very sure that those who impute
to Gov. Vance any sympathy with
Keith in that muderous transaction
or in the transaction itself do him
great and gross injustice. He heard
of the crime, by some means soon af
ter it was perpetrated, and wrote me
as solicitor at once requesting me to
ascertain and report the facts to him.
In his letter to me dated February 9 th
1803, he says : 4,I desire j'ou also to
make an investigation officially into
the reported shooting of a number of
these prisoners, with all the circum
stances, as I intended to look into the
matter myself."
I made such examination as I
could, and reported to the Governor.
I know from my correspondence with
him that he took deep and anxious in
terest in the subject. He had a corres
pondence . with the Confederate Au
thorities about it, with which I am not
entirely familiar.
The Military Authorities took no
tice of tho matter. It came before a
military court sitting at Knoxyille,
Tennessee, of which Hon. Thomas
Ruflin then Col. Ruffin, was Presi
dent. The Court ascertianed many of
the facts. Pending the examination
or before it, Keith resigned his office
as Colonel, and the Military Court had
therefore no jurisdiction to try him ;
but Col. Ruffin wrote to Gov. Vance
calling hi3 attention to the horrible
character of the crime as developed by
the facts as detailed before that court
Uov. anoe then ootainea a copy
of the proceedings had before the Mil
! itary Court, either from Col, Ruffin or
! the War office at Richmond, and sent
I the same to me, expressing in the
strongest terms his liorror and con
demnation of the crime, and instruct
ing me. to prosecute Keith as vigor
ously as I could. ' ,
He neither palliated nor apologized
for iton the contrary he condemned
it in the most unqualified terms and
manifested & resolute purpose to see
Keith and the other guilty parties pun
ished. Keith escaped as I have
stated.
