Mobile was one of the last cities cap

among the most recent freedmen. Tor
the first time in their history they held a
celebration of the Fourth Of July, which
was to them real affair. The witness

occasion is certainly impartial. The

taken in his views, aud would. when con-
vinccd of his error, checrfully correct
them. Connecticut has no trucr, ADLER ad-
vocatc of temperance. He needs no de-
fence of mine. We cannot afford to ey-
press our disapprobation of individual
opinions, but should unite all temperance
men. even theugh their Judgment on some
points differs from ours. DIR. Jcwett said
that he was going TO see DIR. b.. to talk
with him kindly. and believed he would
eonrert him. lie believed that this good

=" Who is Mr.. John W. Babson. the
Chairman of Your County Convention
whose arbitrary ruling passed SO current
the other day -
We have been asked questions similar
to the above perhaps dozen times within
week. In reply we will state that Mr..
Babson is very respectable parsonage
whose parents live in Brooksyilc, and that
he. the said John, has been living in Wash
ington for some six Years, first occupying
the position of Assistant Door Keeper to
the House, and then transferred to the
place of having charge of the Vice Presi-
dents room in the Capitol. 1t may not be
known that the Vice President has room
near the Senate chamber, where he retires,
when not in the chair, to receive his friends,
smoke his cigar. and to attend to friendly
calls. Nr. Rabson, as we understand it,
has charge of this room and it the reader
of this, next winter, visits the capitol,
and desires to pay his respects to the Vice
President, he, no doubt, will find Mr.. Bah
son at the door, ready and willing to carry
his card to that distinguished parsonage,
and to usher him into his prtsence if or
dcred to do so. Mr.. Babson is one of the
most polite and gentlemanly officers at the
Capital but as he pays no taxes in Brooks
vile, is under pay, and has been for years,
|
at the rate of hundred dollars month OF
more, for services rendered in Washington,
we respectfully ask him what better right
he had to vote in the convention, than tie
delegate from No. 10!
One other observation, and We have done
with this :. irst rate notice" of our old
friend 1T is quite evident from the illus
tration furnished on Wednesday last week.
that it does not necessarily follow. that be-
cause a person has acceptably and credita-
bly, occupied the position of Door Keeper
of room in the National Capital, that he
understands parliamentary law, nor that
he can and will act impartially in presid-
ing Or a convention Of Union Men.

The Canvass for Mayor-#IthdraWaI OF
d. ID. Hickey. ESQ.

To the Citizens Of Nashville:
Ny name has been before the public for
some time as a candidate for Mayor. As it
is impossible, by any law now in force, to
elect the dozen aspirats to that position, and
IS time and inclination prevent NE from
canvsssing the city for votes, I think it
is clearly my duty to Withdrew my name as
candidate.
cannot, however, forbear taking this OPP
portunity to give It as my candid opinion
that we should elect for Mayor, Aldermen
and Councilmen those who have at all times,
stood true TO the Union-men who have the
confidence Of our national and State, mill
terry and civil-and with whom these au-
thorities viii cordially cooperate There
are many things Of vital interest to our city
70 be settled that can never be satisfactorily
adjusted 50 long as we persist in electing to
Office men who are in sympathy with rebels;
who have never uttered a word in favor Of
the Union have not cast e vote to assist in
placing our State right with the Govern
ment, and have been willing ali the time
to let " the Union slide for the 90 Conieder-
acy."
five are for the Union, let Us show it by
our works, and elect to Office men who
stood up nanfully in the day of our eoun-
try's greatest agony. Then we can ask with
some confidence that the national authori.
ties shall place our city as near as possible
in the condition they found it before th'
war. Respectfully,
D. D. DfcEET.

Lincoln and Johnson, who were forced into

Ny DEAR SIR-I thank you for your letter
Of the 30th Of June. I shall use my best
endeavor to make my Administration Ma

Our nation has come out Of its four years
struggle for existence strengthened and
purified and with a capacity for q growth IN
the future unparalleled in history.
am pleased to hear from SO intelligent
an observer as yourself that the fact that
our Government is a Government OF the
people-deriving all its power from the
people-existing only for the people, ls be-
ing appreciated in Europe.
trust our national success will prove The
success Of popular principles throughout The
world.
] am sir, very truly yours,

STATE MATrERs.-The sheriff Of this coun-
ty, Mr.. Hinton, informs us, that hereafter
he viii not receive prisoners from other
counties in this State. Peace has been re-
stored, the courts reestablished, and the diff
ferent county jals given up to the proper
move is not in accordance with right and
justice. The moral standing cf this city
demands that it should not be q rendezvous
for all the scoundrels in the State, and until
the State prison is relieved by the military,
we are not certain but that a larger county
jail will have to be erected or else curtail
the dimensions Of the State.
