GE- We call attention to the short alti-
Gle in our paper signed "QUIz," and also
our profuse remarks upon the subject
The subject relstes to a shrewd attempt to
dio ND the hundreds or thousands of inn
perfect land titles in Grant county, made by
defective records n times gone by, and by
the reckless manner business has been
done. especially among the mining popula-
ton, and by land spectators who have so
long practised giving quit-claim for warran-
ty deeds to lands to which their titles were
imperfect. The argument that those who
hold lands by bad titles ought to know it
so as TO correct them while all parties are
living is miserable deception. Leave the
titles alone; every year they are perfecting
more and more, and twenty years occu-
pancg without moIestation will perfect IT,
tie to all lands. We are told the County
Board next week is to be wheedled and de-
ceived by every manner Of means i,:to au
tllorizing the work and ordering the regis
ter, Mr.. Mee.rs, 10 allow his record books TO
he ussd by strange hands for making an
..ostract of titles, or for uncoyering every
weak title in the county and enabling
spectators and pony lawyers to seize peo-
pies property without paying for it.

East renues.ee Prisoners DIseharged.


Messrs. TnoRNBURG, SMITH, GRAY, and JARVIS,
charged with treason against the Confederate States
were discharged yesterday in open Court by Judge
HUMPHREYS, upon their petition, and the application
of the District Attorney. The pstition had been
previously submitted TO the President and Attorney
General of the Confederate States, and approved
by them as sufficient The grounds set forth in the
petition upon which the prisoners asked TO be dis
charged, are as follows:
Il. Because they now believe that the Union is
destroyed that the Confederate Government is per
manently established, and that they owe allegiance
thereto.
"2. Because they are TOW convinced that 1t is
their duty, az good citizens of Tennessee to acqui
in the position she has assumed and to support
and defend the Confederate Government to which
they are willing to take the oath of allegiance.
- Because the Confederate Government is too
firmly established and too strong in the affections
Of the people of the Confederate States 70 require
the blood OF loyal citizens of Tennessee in expaton
of errors Of the head, which subsequent develop
ments have fully corrected"
The letter Of the Attorney General directing the
discharge Of the prisoners is characteristic of the
government and people of the Confederate States,
and presents striking illustration of the spirit of
justice aud liberality which distin guish the prn
clples and policy Of our new government frCm the
despoc principles, and Jiedish policy oft he North
e-n usurper. It should be the aim of all the Off
ceTs.of the government, civil and military, every
where to be careful to exhibit proper apprecia-
ton Of the wisdom and moderation which have
constantly been manifested by the heads of the
government, and especially in the lenient policy
they have adopted in regard to the deuded follows
ers Of Andrew Johnson and others in East Tennes-
ee.
We hope there will be necessity for. no more
political arrests in East Tennessee. Let the mis-
takes of the past be forgotten, ard we assured
that our East Tennessee brethren will prove faith
ful to Southern rights and constitutional liberty,
though they were not earlier cOverts to the neeessi
ty Of final separation from the abolition States of
the North.
Col LANDoE c. HATyEs appeared before the
court as counsel for the prisoners, and made an
gument in their favor-appeGling to the Court and
Attorney General to enter nOle prOsequi IS to
them, and vindicatsd the justice, expediency and
policy advised by the President, and declared his
opinion that hut short time would elapse, when
the mass OF the people Of East Tennessee would
manifest :heir fidelity TO the Confederate Ststes.
