plight. The exposition occupies

Below, We give a compend Of por-
ton of it. II
F, but James C. Jones is now Sen
ator in Congress, from the gallal t
State d Tennessee-and what are
the cir tumst ances under which he
takes his seat in the Senate?
Fms -He induced Mr.. Currih,
the me1 hber from Shelby, to prese1 1t
bill TO the House, asking the State
to relind uish her claim Of $4,000 in
the Ne mpHi4 and LaGrange Rail
road, to the Charleston and Memphis
company, on the ground that all the
Stockhd lders S, ha ID transferred their
stock I'd the Company. Although
Mr. Cutrin, a gentleman, urged this
in debat e, upon jones' authority, it
turned out to be untrue, and the
Stockholders have since denounced
it as false, or at least portion Of
! them.
/ tSEcoE Nd The new Senator stated
to his ftiends in Nashville, and they
urged it upo n the members, that he
was Gently from Washington-and
that the ADMINISTRATION de- sired his
election to the Senate very much
Letters were written to high sources
in Wasllingt on to know il tie Ad-
miristrdtion were disposel to med
die in a contest between the Wings
We perqsed one of the letters in re-
ply, and it set forth that the state
ment was moi true-that Mr. Fill
more was abs sent when Jones was al
Washington, as well as q portion Of
the members of his Cabinet!
'THIRp-Dr. Gillespie, a brave ant
generous man of the State Senate
denounced Jones in every crowd h(
entered, for remarks he had made ii
opposition to his election, last sum
mer, in Hills Hotel in Chattanooga
Jones called upon him denied ey
cry word-and assured him that he
had never uttered such sentiments
Gillespie info med him that he coult
prove it by fifteen or twenty mel
who heard him, and has, from thai
day to this, denounced him rs {;
id liar, and corrupt scoundrel!
'FouRTH- Col Stokes, Mr.. Gala
way, and Robert G., Foster, Sd, were
sitting togeth er in the City Hotel
when Jones drew up chair, anC
made 'substa ntially the following
speech; Gentlemen, strange things
IRE coming to pass! Our frienq
Henry has signilicd his willingness
to receive an election at the hand;
Of Democrac y, provided Wings
enough will vote for him to secure
his election; but whether he gives
the oUIp PRO QUO or not, am not In
formed Mr. Foster, who is the
Attorne@G neral of the Nashville
Circuit, and a gentleman of as high
a sense of honor, rs much ruth and
integrity, as any man ; in Mas hyille
instantly informed Major Henry OIL
what Jones had said. God, in his
infinite mere y, never created>a more
high-souldd gentleman than Maj
Henry is. He determined lot to
submit to such false imputation
upon his homo The armed himself
and demanded of Jones through a
friend, an eHp lanation-Jones, true
to his, instinc t, denied every word.
When the cid ction was over, Mr.. Eos
ter, in no splrit of bully, but in a
calm and dighilied manner, on Satur-
day, the 18TH Of November, visited
all the lIotelf, and the Capitol, and
in the presenF ed Of Jones friends and
foes, denountd d him as a id
scoundrel, a C mmon street liar, and
a, coward. During the day, Mr..
Foster took his stand in the Rotunda,
without any Hos tile intention, SO far
as we are ADV sGd, though it had the
effect to confine Jones in the room
of the Secret4 ry Of State SO long as
to make it a natter of common con
versation! Oh the next day-the
Sabbath-the new Senator left the
city,
A disgraceful fight occurred at
