no recollection of the note, of having endorsed
H, or of having received notice, and therefore he
put the complainants upon full proof of those
matters. This was only saying, you sue mo on
a lost note which yon describe, and say I en
dorsed it and that I was duly notified of its non
payment at maturity: I have no recollection at
this day of such note, endorsed. &.C., and there
fore it is, | cannot feel hound to pay unless you
make proof of the matters alleged. At the peri
od given as the date of the note, as we are in
formed and believe to be true, Mr. Walker
hail made more endorsements for the accommoda
tion of his friends than he, or any oilier man,
though wholly unoccupied with public affairs,
could, eight or nine year afterwards remember,
unless he had kept a registry of them ; and every
one who knows Mr. Walker will he well satisfied
of the entire truth of his answer. When he
speaks of the indemnity alleged to have been re
ceived, his denial is positive. If then. Mr. Wal
ker has denied that he “ swore of” his liability,
he asserts the truth, for his answer shows the
charge to he totally baseless. We have made
this statement as Mr. Walker's counsel, with
the records before us, and under the belief it was
our duty to him. in that relation, to correct im
mediately, what in effect is a calumny, impeach
ing his moral character. We shall expect that
those, who have at random, or through mistake,
assailed it, will make speedy and just recantation.

A LYNCHERS OWN STORY.
“ / never fight when angry, gentlemen.”— James
Bowie.
( Concluded.)
“ Yes, gentlemen, there was a moment’s delay
in choosing the limb; in the mean time, by way
of hanging the culprit with a little life in him,
some one had given him a mouthful of whiskey,
when recovering his tongue, he began to beg ;
from begging, gentlemen, he got to screaming,
blood actually trickled from his streaming eyes,
and it was getting wiplcasant—no dignity about
it! nn idea struck me; l just climbed up, hand
over hand, a pretty stout sapling close by me;
I’m a heavy man, gentlemen, and, as [ mounted,
over the young tree came with ine—bent like a
fishing rod-”
There was a breathless silence in the company ;
an enormous “roach.’’ peeping from a crack in the
paneling, could hardly have crossed without being
heard, while each eye was riveted horribly on the
speaker.
“ The culprit, gentlemen, took the idea sooner
than any of the others, and his shrieks and ra
vings were dreadful—really dreadful ! Another
climbing after me, and, with the added weight,
down we both came, half hid amongst the light
boughs of the top, and the loose end of the rein
was made fast in a second. ‘ One instant, far
Gad's sake ! I've crot children !—for the sake
of m 1/ soul!'—a half uttered scream, gentlemen,
mingled with the rush of the houghs, as tee drop
ped to the ground, and the nigger thief, with a
jerk that snapped his neck, flew into the air, des
cribed a half-circle as spanned by bis halter, and
swinging back to ns again from the other side!”
A long breath was drawn by the whole com
pany. The “ Judge’’ was the first to break the
succeeding pause :
“ Well, that tens an idea! We’ll drink on that
gentlemen, by thunder!”
All moved to the bar—some two or three silent
! ly, tho others as to a mere change of enjoyment.
| “ Colonel,” cried the Judge, “ name your liquor—
that loos an idea !”
“ Yes !” exclaimed another, with no less en
thusiasm. “ a first rate idea!’’
“ A splended i lea !” “ A glorious idea !” was
I the general chorus.
“ Yes, gentleman,” complacently observed the
giant as he raised his glass ; “ 1 think, myself*
that it was a stceel idea !” J. F. M.
