Standing Pat on the Preacher.

Editor Democrat—ln your paper Saturday a member of the election board that received the Newton county negro prisoner’s vote several years ago, says we were in error in our communication in saying that the prisoner s sentence expired a day or so before the election, for he says after,, voting the negro was returned to jail to serve out his unexpired time. Our critic also says it was a Baptist minister instead of a Methodist, that assisted the prisoner in getting his vote in. We stand corrected as to the negro, but in justice to the Baptists, must standpat as to the preacher- A VOTER.
