New York, December 8. At Butler, Alabama, a negro named Curtis confessed to the murder of a planter. He was lodged in gaol. "A mob stormed the gaol and hanged Curtis on the scene of the crime. The Convention of State Governors, held in Virginia, repudiated Governor C. L. Blease, Governor of South California, who advocated lynching for negro assaults on women.

Governor Blease has received numerous threatening letters.
