COL RANDALL w. EcGAvOCK.

The subject of this brief paragraph was
one Of the most worthy of the many gallant
Tennesseeans who offered up their lives in
defense oflwhat they believed to be the right,
during the late war. In every relation Of
life his character is worthy Of emulation In
the interests of the poor, in the cause of edu-
cation, in the advocacy Of the various enter
prises Of this, his native city, and in the
furtherance and defense of what he believed
TO be the rights and true interests Of his
country, he secured for himself place in
the appreciation of his fellow citizens, which
will keep green his memory, and treasure
his virtues in their heart Of hearts.
His remains having been removed to this
city from their place of temporary inter
ment, they will be escorted this morning, at
IL o'clock, from the residence Of his father,
Jacob McGavock, Esq, TO the family vault
at Mount Olivet Let us not in the hurry
Of Ife's cares forget our duty to the worthy
dead.

THAp. STEVENS has turned wag. His
efforts at craftsmanship having failed to
restore his iron-worSs, which were des-
troyed by the carelessness Of some of Lees
.agamufiins, as Mr.. Stevens friens would
call them, he has changed his tactics, and
is making himself bufoon in Congress.
His new character viii not serve his pur-
nose better than the old. The best counsel
he could accept would be, to go home, let
politics and the legitimate duties of states
men alpne, and hire somebody to rebuild his
iron-werISs, and pay him good round price
for doing it. He seems to think Lee ss
efectualIy destroyed the Union as his men
did that little piece of Pennsylvania prop
erty-and because his works do not re-
appear simultaneously with the Southern
Representatives, there is no Union. Thad-
deus is simply mistaken.

THE more venomous of the Radicals at
the North who display themselves in Con-
gress, and On the rostrum, and through the
press, have more than limited at impeach-
ment of the President as mode of removing
the great obstacle to their wishes and VaTi-
Gus conjectgres from time 70 time have been
made in regard to such proceeding. We
have never permitted ourselves to fear that
even Radical madness would dare that ex-
IRENE. for we are satisfied it could not sue
coed, and the men who would attempt such
a step know il.
There has been an idea, however, that if a
measure Of Impeachment were carried in the
House of Representatives, (the body in which
it is compelled to originate that during the
trial before the Senate, sitting as a court, the
President would be suspended from his func.
tons. This we think an error. The Con-
stitution only provides for the removal of the
President from his Office as a consequence Of
conviction under impeachment The trial
must result in condemnation, and judgment
be pronounced, before there is any lapse of
function in the Presidential incumbency.
The Constitution never contemplated that an
arrogant majority ia the popular branch Of
the Federal Legislature in opposition to the
Executive could parslyse him with articles
Of impeachment based upon frivolous party
grounds, and prOtract the trial, until they
could force through their measures under
some temporary Presidential substitute.

A GRAVE CHARGE.

1t is the earnest desire of all good men
in Tennessee, irrespective of past differences,
TO heal the wounds of the country and re-
store US once more to a condition of honor
and prosperity. There are a few, however,
so enamored with the accidental import
ance into which they have been cast by the
distemper of the times as to be unwilling to
give it up. Unfortunately for Tennessee
their position gives them a credibility abroad
which they have never had at home, and
enables them thereby to contributelargelyt to
the perpetuation of anarchy and discord.
Foremost of this class is Secretary Fletch-
er, the present acting Governor, who during
the war made application to the Confederate
authorities at Richmond for commission
in their army to fight against the cold dag
and aid in breaking up the Government.
This fact we have previously referred to for
the purpose of showing how little credit
should be given by honest Union men TO tes-
timony from such source, and how reluc-
tant they should be to take counsel of and
follow the dictation of such leader.
In the Union of this city-a paper started
during the war and in the interests of the
Union men of Tennessee-we find a charge
against Mr.. Fletcher of still graver charac-
ter, and one which he cannot fail to notice.
1t is embodied in a communication to that
paper, signed "LoYAL TENNEssEEAN," and
was evidently written with full knowledge
Of the gravity of the charge. 1t says!
Against Mr.. Fletcher true bill for murder
was found by the Union men and grand jury of
Greene county. East Tennessee, and for which
crime he is yet rightfully and legally to be tried
if there is any justice in the courts. We refer
to Mr.. Jones' Representative from Greene coun-
ty, for the circumstances Of the above murder
which grand jury of Greene county, on their
'oaths' declared was committed by the aforesaid
Andrew J. Fletcher The Greene county Circuit
Court will bear true record to the statements of
Hon. Mr.. Jones, and other gentlemen. Union
men, from East Tennessee"
Now what we have to say is, that if this
charge, preferred by grand jury of Union
men of Greene county, is true, then Mr..
Fletcher is just such man as we might sup
pose would aspire to the leadership of the
faction he now heads. If untrue, no one
better understands the means by which it
may be disproyed,

According to this report, the President
has no enemies, and his opposers no friends
in Kentucky; and yet the three dailies at
Louisville, in their triangular war, which
wages with undated fury, would lead one to
suppose that there was great division among
the people of that State just at this time.

KENTUCKY POLITICS.

There is some difficulty in fully compre-
hending the precise character of politics in
Kentucky just at this time. A correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati. Gazette, (Radical)
writing from that State, makes the following
pleasing representation of affairs there:
Our people seem to have run mad after Andrew
johnson Radicals, Rebels and Conservatives all
have something just now to say in his praise. The
Radicals want to indorse his whole general policy
the Conservatives want to indorse him now and
pledge him support in future. while the Rebels
curse him for the past praise him for his Veto and
await with great hope the developments
of the future. It is certain that this endorse
ment by the Radicals of Kentucky of Andrew
johnson is perfect abandonment of every dis
tinctive principle of the war. 1t is miserable
jumping at a position that they hope is popular
with the people ofthis State-a eowardly attempt
to beat the Conservatives by assuming their posi-
ton and policies while their own glorious princi
plies which they have defended for four years,

WRITING on the subject of rents, the New

being high when population increases and houses

houses do not increase when materials and labor

reduce the days work from ten hours to eight.
