ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF V. II. BIKO
HAM.
Athkks, Alabama. May 28. Editor Press and
Times: Last evening aboutfl o'clock, lion. D.
II. Uinghani, who returned to his home in this
place about a month since, from which ho was
driven in the fall of 18Q2for bis opposition to tho
rebellion, was called out of his room by Jason
Tanner, under the pretense of wishing to see
him. Tanner, the more completely to lull sus
picion, sent his message by a young lady of tho
hotel, and as Bingham stepped upon the por
tico, inquiring of Tanner what ho wanted, he
was seized by Tanner and three other ruffians,
who picked him up and earned him into the
street, using violence by keeping their hands
over his mouth to smother bis crios for help.
Ilore a struggle ensued, and by kicking and
knocking, Bingham released himself from their
grasp and rose to his feet. Ilewas seized a second
timeand thrown to the ground, but withnoother
injury than that done his clothing. It was tho
evident purpose of tho ruffians to abduct him,
but their design was thwarted. Bingham has
been very efficient in bis endeavors to prepare
tho minds of the people to accept the terms of
Congress in the organization of civil govern
mentprior to which, very few of the colored
people had been informed of their enfranchise
ment or instructed in their political rights or
Srivilegcs. Ilis teachings have Irallicd around
lm the whole loyal element, white and black,
and hence this violenae towards him to prevent
free speech and the dissemination of political in
telligence among the voting masses.
A few more demonstrations like the recent at
taak upon Judge Kelly, at Mobile, and that up
on Captain Bingham last night, will determine
Congress to pass tho ConGsication bill ami or
ganise the colored men into a militia force to
protect and keen order in the countrr. hnth nf
which will have to be done before there JLJio-l
&uy rccurny in mo acuci siaies.
Mob VroLiNnc On Mnnilsv nS?lit. Inaf in
Athens, Ala., Cant. D. II. Bingham was enticed
out of his houso by a parcel of men, seized and
outol his nouso by a parcel of men, seized and
blacked, besides being roughly treated. Tho
military hero sent a detachment to A then on
Tuesday, arrested throe young men Q. W.
Tanner, J. E. Russell and W. R. McWilliams
and they are now in tho barracks hero under
guard. The outrage will be investigated by the
military authorities, we suppose. We trust
the guilty parties may be ferreted out and se
verely punished. Law. order, freedom of
speech and political action, and the right of all
citizens to tho enjoyment of tho same, must be
observed in this country. All god citizens must
lrown down any sort of mob violence, er anarchy
will be tho rulo.und then obliteration. Capt.
Bingham is a decided Onion Republican, and
mis was ms oucnse in me eyes ot some evil
minded ones, and hence this indignity. Hunts
ville Advocate.
Athens, June 4, 1807. Editors Union
and Dispatch: 1 have seen a communica
tion in the Press and Times, in which some
one, without regard to truth or justice,
gives an account of what he terms an at
tempt to assassinate the Hon. D. H. Bing
ham. While I propose to set the public
right about this affair, I will give some
facts about this old scoundrel, who has as
sumed the title of Honorable. I have
known him for many years, and I assure
you I have never known any good of him.
The nearest he ever came to attaining to
honorable, was many years ago, when he
was a candidate for the Alabama Legisla
ture, and of some twelve hundred votes
polled, he received one hundred and eigh
teen. About that time, for mercenary mo
tives, he sought to ruin the character or
take the life of a respectable gentleman of
Madison county, whom he accused of and
prosecuted for the crime of murder. For
this he received what he deserved, a public
caning in the streets of Huntsville. From
that tune to the present, he lias been prac
ticing upon the people here every species
of villainy his vicked brain could devise.
He deserves no credit for being a Union
man, for we all know he was one from
accident, die was anything in opposition
to the people.
That he was driven from here is 1862 is
false, and tho correspondent of the Press
and Times, (whom I strongly suspect to be
Bingham himself) knew it When he wrote
it. On the contrary, he thought it was a
gopd Way to pay his debts and make some
thing, as he left with several thousand
dollars worth of government claims, the
property of others, for which he has never
accounted.
That since his return "he has been
efficient in preparing the minds of the peo
ple in accepting the terms of Congress in
the organization of civil government," is
also false, and that his "teachings" have
rallied around him the whole loyal ele
ment, is the worse lie of all. Many of us
are loyal, and have always been so, but we
refute to subscribe to the "teachings" of
Bingham.
Before he returned here, we were'getting
on as well as any people in the South. We
had already held county meetings, in which
we expressed our willingness and anxiety
for reconstruction under the existing laws
of Congress. We had told the colored peo
ple they were entitled to vote under the
laws. We had made fair and satisfactory
contracts with ihem for the cultivation of
our lands, and those contracts were being
complied with promptly by both 'parties.
We had convinced the colored mau that
aswe all lived here together, and must
die here, we must live friendly and in
confidence; mutually promoting . the wel
fare and happiness of each other.
When Bingham, who has neither the
"courage of a man or the instincts of a gen
tleman" returned here, he commenced a
series of meetings, throughout the county,
inviting the negroes' attendance, they leave
the crops, which, as you know, need most
attention now, aud go to hear his "teach
ings," which are something like this; "My
colored friends, I have come here to tell
you that you are as good as any white man,
and that you need not pay your taxes to
these Rebels ; you need not hesitate to at
tend oar meetings, for wjien Congress meets
again, tr intend to give you forty acres of
your old master's land, and one hundred
dollars of his money you help to make." I
understood he told a white man if he would
join the Loyal League, he should not pay a
certain debt I These are, Messrs. Editors,
his teachings. This is the free speech that
correspondent speaks of.
Bingham, in his profession of friendship
for the negroes, certainly forgets the worse
horse-whipping a negro ever got in this
county, was given bv him in person to one
Tom Wealherford, (who, poor fellow, died
soon afterwards I wish he was here now,)
who happened to have in his possession a
quarter of a dollar resembling one Bing
ham said was stolen from him. He forgets
he also wanted to whip Gus. Malonc, a
colored man, because he had a silver quar
ter; but Gus.' master, considering the im
probable statement, i. e., that Bingham had
a quarter to steal, and Gus' character for ve
incity being better than Bingham's, re
fused to allow him whipped. He forgets
the thrashing he made the Town Marshal
give Cox, during his master's absence.
Perhaps he forgets all these, but the ne
groes do not.
Since his return he has been crowding
tho postofiice with his letters and docu
ments, using the frank of a Congressman.
Does he have the right? Is that not
swindling the government he professes to
love m much?
So much for his antecedents and his
prewnt "teachings." Now to the " assas
sination." Ko such attempt was made.
It was nothing more nor lens than a " black
ing," put ou by some boys. Upon Bing
hams affidavit, the military arrested three
or four young men, who are now in con
finement at lfunUville, while they are able
to prove by a dozen reliable citizens that
they were not within two hundred yards
of the cene.
It k true, Jason Tanner, a lad of six
teen, did call Bingham from the hotel, but
he aid not lay hands on him or offer any
VILLI
violence whatever. (See correspondence
Prpss and Times.) As soon as John Tanner,.
,the father of Jason, heard of the blacking,
of which no one approves, but all regret the
thoughtlessness of the boys", lie apologized
toBineham, and the latter expressed him
self satisfied of Jason's Innocence. Hut
Jason is also in arrest.
Has Bingham no gratitude? Has he
none of the principles of a man? Oh!
shame, where is thy blmh ? Time was,
when' by physical infirmities, he was so ob-
jiuaiuus lie cuuiu gi'i uuaru in nu tauiuy in
Athens, the Tanners sent his meals to his
office.
Mr. . Jolin Tanner, ope of our most hon
orable and reliable citizens, has been his
i i p. i i . 1 1 i i i
npeciai inenu, uas sioou oy mm meu ue
ha'd sufficient cause to turn aeainst him.
Was particularly kind to Mra. Bingham,
wno, dy me way. as an esumauie iauy
pity she bears hia name anddid mnch to
enable her to get through thelihes to her
nusband.
Binrfiam'a recent Treatment Jjere was
intended as a personal matter, and not be
cause of any political sentiments. .
Better and more honesVUnTon'Tnen than
he lived here during the war. Better have
lived here since, and have never been dis
turbed, becauee they were gentlemen, hon
est and true.
What is to become of us? Such " teach
ings" as the above have demoralized our
labor system. Our hands are leaving
the fields without any warning, and our
crops are suffering.
As isingliam's correspondent prates of
free speech, I hope he will not object to
this, as they are facts. Citizen.
A SECOND LETTER.
Athens, Ala., June 4th, 1807. Editors
Union and Dispalch : The Banner, of the
31st nit., states, " that a band of ruffians
ivuil aiwiii - a.jutua juv a. no O L4 ii
Doorkeeper of the United State3 Senate,
lrom las home in Athens, .Limestone coun
ty, and after treating him severely, daubed
him over with printer's ink.
Hie Press and Times has a furious article,
(written probably by Bingham.) headed,
"Attempted assassination of Hon. D- Ha
Bingham," and instead, makes out a case
of attempted abduction, connects it with
politics, Judge Kelley and the Mobile riot,
the rebellion, resistance to the government
of the United States, and therefrom deduces
that Union men are not safe in the South
advises rigid military rule and a sweeping
confiscation by Congress that Bingham
was driven from his home in 18C2, because
he was a Union man, etc., etc.
The Southern Advocate urge3 that Capt.
Bingham was thus abused because he was
a Union man, and that it was an indignity
to the government, and should be severely
punished, being an evidence of a rebellious
disposition, etc.
There is not a word of truth in any of
these statements, except the will to do all
possible harm to the South. Why all this
to do about blacking a hoary old villain,
most probably known to the editors of the
Press and Times, and most certainly to the
editor of the Southern Advocate f What
connection has it with the rebellion, and
the terrible denunciation of the whole
South? That an old Ishmaelite, whose
hand is, and has been, against every man,
and every man's hand against him all his
life, should have such a parade over him
for a harmless freak ofa few lads, is beyond
all conception. It is the best evidence of
bloodless intent. It is said that the lad,
Jason Tanner, who called him out, made
no concealment, and never laid hands up
on him, though his father went immediate
ly, on hearing of it next morning, and
apologized for the part taken by his son
when he, (Bingham) reached the door and
called for Jason, that he was taken by each
arm, carried across the street a very short
distance from the hotel, and laid down as
quietly as possible under the circumstan
ces, and told to be quiet "lay still, Cap
tain, we'll not hurt you,"and forthwith var
nished him copiously with an innocent
preparation of lampblack and coal oil.
Of course, wearo all apprehensive at so
thoughtless a prank, just at this particular
time. The boys had no thought of the use
that would be made of this indiscreet work.
Not a word wa3 breathed of it, or it would
not have been permitted. It has been a
most glorious martyrdom for Bingham.
He knew when he came to Athens that he
would be-in no danger. He left in 18G2
of his own free will and accord, with no
other compulsion than a guilty conscience.
His wife remained, and in 1863 sold their
property for Confederate money was of
fered one dollar in gold for three dollars of
Confederate, but preferred to keep it. He
now claims the property.
The counselor and friend of Mrs. Bing
ham, after she had been abandoned by her
husband, was the father of one of the lads
accused. After his apology to Bingham
for his son, he professed to be satisfied ; but
his false, vindictive heart went on in pur
suit of his youthful victim, until he is
placed in solitary confinement, and not al
lowed to see friend or counsel.
ilis whole histoty is' one of contention,
and annoyance to every community he has
lived in. Docs not the editor of theHunts
ville Advocate know well the story of his
attempted assassination of Abiier Tate, a
respectable citizen of Madison county, Al
abama ? He then essayed hia judicial mur
der, but was most excruciatingly exposed
aim foiled by Hon. Jerry Clemens, Attor
ney for Mr. Tate. After that he came to
Athen3 and purchased a press avowedly to
harrass Mr. Tate. For a portion, perhaps
of all the purchase money, Mr. William
Crenshaw, a worthy citizen, became his
security, and had it to pay. After this he
began a harrassing suit against this friend
in need, upon the moit gratuitous assump
tionsproving what all knew, that the
surest way to make him an enemy was to
befriend him.
A number of freedmcn here can testify
to his meanness and dishonesty to them
while slaves. When indebted to them, he
pretended to have lost something, and
charged them with theft. One man he
thus treated has a most excellent charac
ter Augustus Tanner. Another he
whipped unmercifully. His nature is
made up of so many contrarieties that,
had the South not rebelled, he would have
taken sides against it, just to be consistent
-with his own hellish compounds. In the
deranged and distressed condition of the
people, he comes among them with its
entire system of labor abolished, sufl'ering
from war, pestilence and famine no money
or credit to buy the absolute necessities of
life tells the freedmen that they are as
good as the white people, their former
Eebel masters to go into their parlors and
demand recognition that there is no civil
law in the South to make them pay axes
that they have a right to vote as they
choose, and to vote as they shot, against
the Rebels, and that if their employers
discharge them for it, to report them, -and
that their lands will be confiscated. to
vote the Radical ticket and sustain Con
cress, and it will pafs a law to confiscate
Rebel property and give them a part of
the lands and money of their former Rebel
masters that they have worked for and
were entitled to It wished for twenty loyal
troops to keep us straight.
He proposed recently to organize a Loy
al League on a large plantation in this
copnty, to which the proprietor, Mr. Mc
Kimmon, objected, having already organi
zed a school for the benefit of the families
of the freedmen employed by him. Bing
ham went or sent to the agent of tho Bu
reau, and not only procured an order to
form the League, bnt an order annulling
Mr. McKimmon's contracts with his freed
men, discharging them near the first of
June, with 4,000 acres of cotton planted,
and an immense outlay to perfect his crop.
Mr. McKimmon is a loyal citizen, and
was a government agent during the
war.
Just think of the injury to this one indi
vidual. Col. Bigelow, another loyal plan
ter, has been entirely broken up, doubtless
by tin same secret, subtle agency the
freedmen abandon their work to attend;

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, FBIDAY, JUNE
these secret meetings, and a very large por
tion oi them are entirely worthless, though
heretofore doing very well. Those laboring
for a share of the crop seem to be doing best
and remain at home pretty well. This one
man Bingham, has done more harm in the

surface 6f all revolutionary times have
their vile and contemptible ambitions and
purposes and' are. nothing .more tlian, the
excretions of malarial periods, which cause
foul blains and, cancers upon the body
politic. "It's an ill wind that blows, good
to nobody." Let us see if this much, ado
about nothing, may not bring the com
munity riddance of this vile old, monster,
by Ventilating him completely,
For some time he has been using the
frank of one or more Radical members of
r-JL i . i- . ' - ,i-
iuugresa iu circulate lueir mccuuiary
documents. He had no right thus to act.
A iriember of Congress cannot assign or
transfer his frank. It was given for his
use; Bingham erased his name from a
letter franked to him by a M. C. and
directed it to other parties. The
postmaster examined the matter and found
that he had no authority to forward such
matter. Bingham said he had a right to
use tho franks and demanded his papers,
but' was refused." This is positive testimo
ny of fraud upon the postofiice department.
He tried to induce the route agent on the
Nashville and Decatur railroad to forward
his franked matter, but he declined, having
no authority. Bingham was threatened
with prosecution by the postmaster. He
wa3 looked upon Jby all as a criminal who
would be punished soon. He was verv
careful to stamp his letter to Mr. Chase,
knowing he would be detected if he used
his franks. Just at this time, when these
franks and exasperations were exciting the
public mind, and he was supposed to have
at least fallen into the hands of justice, the
boys, supposing it would be no harm be
fore the law grasped him, put a mark up
on him and give him a color he seemed to
fancy.
Now, to escape punishment, shall this
old miscreant be allowed to idehtify him
self with the majesty of the government of
the United states, which he was daily de
frauding of its revenue, and not onlv sro
scott-free, but be allowed to torture the
noble boys, most of whom are proven to
have had nothing to do with the affair ?
He has just the wit and calibre to make
capital of this harmless matter, and the
sharaelessnesa to prosecute these splendid
noys as men, ana through them, he and his
associates denounce the whole South,- and
call upon it the maledictions of Congress
confiscation, military rule, etc. What
has Bingham ever done for the govern
ment? He ran away from the fight, con
tributed nothing but gasconade and abuse
of the South. He is said 1 o have taken the
government receipts of many persons, col
lected ana used the money, and now coolly
tells them that they are on file in the War
Department, and that if the South becomes
loyal to and is readmitted into the Union,
it may be Congress may do something

in shame, and like Judas, go off and hang
himself, he has the impudence and effron
tery in this community, which he has de
famed and befouled for years, to bolster
up his individual criminality and corrup
tions, and the punishment he has received,
with the dignity and power of the govern
ment, and like the whole tribe of skulking
curs, now that all danger is past, come out
from their hiding places, and call upon
everybody- to behold what they have done
for the country. He persists in calumni
ating the boys after their innocence has
been proven. When Col. Norton, of Ohio,
was in command here in 1SC2, Bingham
annoyed him with ao many complaints and
reports against citizen, and gratuitous
advice, that the was ordered out of
his quarters, and told not to ap
pear again. A number ot .Northern gen
tlemen are herein business, as there are all
over the country. We have Col. Spalding,
Capts. Lucas and Becker, and Lieut. Mc
Quire, and perhaps others whose loyalty
was proven by years ot service during the
war. vet are not "slicked," or even com
complained of. Besides these, 'Mias Wfllsl
Miss bturgiss and Miss DuBois, teachers of
the freedmen's school, all of whom have
sustained the very best character, can at
test the tact that they have met with no
one here who have offered them the slight
est insult. Our telegraphic operator, Air:
Rallston, is a Northern man. and a true
gentleman, and will bear testimony of the
good order of our citizens, and the kind
feelings manilested by them to all persons,
both black and white, who behave- them
selves. It is vain to connect this affair with pol
itics. It is simply a thoughtless infliction
upon a turbulent incendiary and criminal,
whom they considered as already in the
clutches of the law. All was quiet and
peaceable, and the people were hopefully
pursuing their avocations, very little con
cerned about politics, hopefully resigned to
the reconstruction policy of Congress, until
this monster opened the pandora's box of
political and social discord. "Jluat coelum,

Gpu. Sheridan's Reason, etc.
;New York; June 6. Tlie Trioune'a
NewOrleans special says Gen. Sheridan
haviup been aBKed for bis reasons for his
removals, this day forwarded the following ;
HEADQUARTERS DOT MILITARY DIS
TRICT, New Orleans, June 5, 18G7. To
General U. S, Grant, Commanding the Ar-
General, on the 20th of March last. 1 re
moved from office 'Judge E. Abel, of the
uTtnnnai uuri. oi jn ew Urteans, Andrew J .
Jlerron, Attorney General of Louisiana.-
and Jrid. T. Munroe, Mayor of the city of
.v-" wucjua, Aucac rciuuvais were maue
under the power granted me, jn what is
usually termed the military bill, passed
March 27th, 18G7, by the Congress of the
United States. I did not deem it necessary,
after the investigation made by the military
board on the massacre of July 30th, I860,
and the report of the Congressional Com
mittee on the same massacre, but as some
inquiry has been made for the cause of the
removal, I would respectfully state as fol
lows: The court over which Judge Abel pre
sided is the only Criminal Court in the city
of New Orleans, and a period of at least nine
months previous to July 30th, he had been
educating a large portion of the communi
ty to the perpetration of this outrage by
almost promising no prosecution in his
court against the offenders in case such an
event occured. The records of this court
will show that he fulfilled his promise, as
not one of the guilty party has been prose
cuted.
In reference to Andrew J. Herron.
Attorney General of the State of Louisiana,
I consider it his duty to indict these men
before this Criminal Court, this he failed
to ao, out went so tar as to attempt to im-
Eose on the good sense of the whole nation,
y indictintr the victims of the riot instead
of the rioters, in other words, making, the
innocent guilty and the guilty innocent.
He waa therefore an abettor and coadjutor
T..J ll.li.'L ' ' i) J
mm o uugu .ivutji m uringmg on me' mas
sacre of July the 30th. Maj. Monroe con
trolled the element engaged in this riot
and when backed by an Attorney General
who would not prosecute the guilty
and a Judge who advised the grand jury to
find the innocent- guilty and let the mur
derers go free, felt Becure in engaging his
police force in the riot and massacre. With
these three men exercising a large in
fluence, worst elements of this city, giving
to these elements a thirst for riot and
bloodshed. The General in chief will Bee
how insecure I felt in letting them occupy
their positions, and the troubles which
might occur in registration and voting in
the reorganization. I am, General, very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
t&igned. tf. 11. SHERIDAN,
Major GeiieraU
Gen. Sheridan also telegraphed to Gen1
Grant that the registry returns from most
of the parishes of the State have been re
ceived; also the reports of the officers
which supervised them ; and I can report
to you the greatest success, and that the
best of feeling is existing among the peo
ple. The Herald's Washington special says
that Gen. Sheridan is-believed to be guilty
of disobedience of orders in removing
Gov. Wells after having received the tele
gram from Secretary Stanton directing him
to suspend all further action in the case of
tlie levee commissioners, aud it is reported;
this evening that Gen. Grant and Mr. Stan
ton had a conference to-day on this ques
tion, at which Gen. Grant favored the ad
ministration of a reprimand to Gen. Sheri
dan cautioning him to greater prudence in
the future, instead of ordering him to be
removed.
The Herald's Montgomery, Ala., special
says : Three cases have been brought in the
Circuit Court of Montgomery county, Ala.,
against Judge Busteed, for alleged illegal
conversion of monies in a conspiracy to
defraud tlie plaintiff-), and conupt abuse
and usurpations of the office of Judge.

We shall oppose all Invasions of these, and
