LETTER FROM Ex.cov. HARRIS

We publish on cur first page a lengthy
extract from an interesting letter written BY
Ex-Gov. HARRIS, 10 one Of the editors Of
this paper from Cordoya, Mexico. 1t con-
tains more valuable information upon the
subject of colonization than we have hereto
fore published.
Few men, driven by the disasters of the
late war toseek homes in foreign countries,
have left behind them so many warm friends.
They viii be gratifed to hear that Gov. II.
retains his good health and cheerful dispo-
sition. He has resigned his commission
under the Mexican Empire as agent of col
onization. We would advise persons, there
FORE wanting information exclusively on this
subject, to write to Mr.. Maury, or some one
else, whose special business it is to have and
to give guch information.

A FEW weeks ago we predicted that if the
handful of Radicals who supported the fran
chise bill should venture 10 announce a can
didate in opposition to Maj. LEWIS, he would
make the oppressive legislation against mer-
chants, and other side issues, the burden of
his song, and play hide and seek on the
franchise question. At that time we did
not know that MANSON NJ BRIEN would be
the candidate, nor did we have the privilege
Of reading his Belleview speech in manu-
script. But the candidate and the speech
verify our prediction. Mortal man cam OF
discover his views on the franchise issue but
he is inconsolable over the injustice to
merchants and profuse in his promises of
relief.
Now, docs Judge Brien think that the
people Of this county, merchants or any
other class, are gudgeons to be caught with
such bait as that? We tell you again, Judge,
that the whole and sole issue in this election
is the franchise bill. The men who are in
favor Of il nominated you, and you are going
to be disgraeefully beaten, because the peo-
pie who are opposed to il, prefer the man
who has shown himself wise and fearless
enough to resist its passage. You can't be
elected anyway, but you will gain credit for
candor by giving your true position. DON'T
palter with the people in a double sense.
You have had experience enough to know
that will not do.

JUDGE BRrES does Major LEWIS gross
injustice when he charges him with re-
responsibility for the two per cent. merchants
tax. That item was in the general revenue
bill passed last spring. We do not know il
Major LEWIS voted for the bill, bat this we
do know and are authorized to state, that as
soon as that feature Of the revenue bill was
discovered to be odious and oppressive to
the merchants, he warmly favored its re-
duction, and but for the Radicals in the
Legislature, who mainly opposed its re-
duction, would have had am opportunity Of
voting to remove it, He is for removing il
now, and will WELD in the Legislature ten
times the influence in favor of that step that
Judge BRIEN can.
We do not think that Judge BRIEN in
tends to do Major LEWIS injustice, and We
are, therefore, careful TO state these facts, in
order that, If in the exigencies Of the can
vass he should make another speech, he NAV
have am opportunity Of correcting it.

We regret that the communication of our
correspondent "Civis" as published on Sun
day morning, contained several errors,
which impaired its sense and somewhat OBJ
scured its meaning.
He requests us to state that in his sugges-
tons to the City Council in regard to the
remission of the tax upon all property
which might be proved to have been in the
possession Of the Government, and for
which no compensation had been or would
ever be received, he did not mean to say
that the weight Of legal opinion was against
the legality Of the tax, for the fact is other
wise. He suggested it as a matter of justice
outside of the naked question of legality.
His own position touching the legal bear
ings of the case is, that the United States
Government-the supreme power Of the
land-having withdrawn for time from
the property in question that protection
which government is obligated to give to
the property of the citizen, that for that
tins the right to tax the property was in
suspension, and that consequently no infe-
rior power, such as q chartered municipality,
could do what the superior power was in
hibited from doing.

WILL the magistrates elected on the 81
day of the present month in the various
counties Of the State be commissioned by
Gov. Brownlow? That is question which
is decidedly interesting, and is growing more
and more so every DAY. There is one of our
most populous and nourishing counties in
our minds eye, whose county court meets
next Monday, in which il is doubtful whe-
ther there is half dozen legal magistrates
in the county. What are they to do? They
are law-abiding people, and have elected
their magistrates. Their county affairs alb
solutely require that they hold their regular
term, for the good of their constituents. If
they proceed, questions may arise which
may involve the county in almost endless
litigation and expense. If the Governor is
going to issue commissions he should do it
without delay; and il he is not, the fact with
the reasons and the remedy should be an
nounced at once Certainty is better than
uncertainty, whether il meets our wishes or
not We respectfully call FOR an answer, in
behalf Of the people Of the State.

JUDGE BRIEN says he accepted the candi-
dacy of the Radical party at the sacrifice
of his personal interest" Oh we hope not
The courts are not in session, and business
is rather dull, and we don't see that little
harmless communing with small and select
parties of his friends at such hospitable
places of resort as Belleview can hurt him
much It's true it is a frivolus and unpro-
iitable waste of time, but then we all do too
much Of that. Bear up, Judge, your friends
will consume no more of your time or tai
ents after Saturday.

THE ELECTION ON SATURDAY.

We again urge the friends of popular
rights to go to the polls on Saturday. No
man should absent himself on the ground
that Major LEWIS election is certain. That
is not sufficient He should be returned to
the Legislature by an emphatic and over
whelming endorsement He should resume
his seat armed with a moral force that shall
be potential in rebuking the spirit Of ruin
and mischief which has so long held high
carnival in those halls. As his venerable
form re-enters that chamber, it should typ
ify the majority of the peoples will, and
teach the audacious innovators upon popu-
lar liberty they can no longer trifle with the
great and precious franchises of American
freemen.

THE meddling propensities of seme,people
are conspicuous on every possible occasion.
The latest case in point is the following from
the ~ T. Tribune:
II is regarded as certain that at the next Papal
Consist0ry one the Bishops Of the United States
will be crested a Cardinal. According 10 the
prevalent opinion in Rome this distinction is TO
be conferred not upon any of the Bishops who
during the war showed warm sympathy with the
cause OF the Union, nor upon one of those who
kept profound silence on the National question:
nor upon any of the seven Archbishops but upon
the special envoy from Jefferson Davis 10 Rome
Bishop Lynch of Charleston.
The enmity of the Tribune to Bishop
Lynch would seem to be- from some reason
or other not apparent positively unappeas-
able.

THE New Orleans Pcdylae says that a
distinguished lawyer, well to do before the
war, when he returned from the army at the
close of the war, without a dollar in his
pocket, and applied to his former rich eli
ents to pay some fees due him, found that
they were as poor as he was; and the only
person who came 10 his assistance and
promptly placed him in funds was maa
whom he had known as an insolvent for 30

KELLY, of Pennsylyania, Brownlow's con-
fdential correspondent, recently delivered a
lecture in Philadelphia on the questions OF
the day. The fress Of that city in making
the announcement stated that the "Black
Swan" would sing before and after the lee
ture. IL was strikingly appropriate, that
the spewings Of this man KELLY, third
rate ward politician and demsgogue, should
be accompanied by the vocalization of a
strolitng negro songstress One was as well
calculated to edify and instruct as the other,
and both are sufficient to disgust any man of
sense or sensibility.

THE FAsHIoNs--The Philadelphia Pres
says:
Notwithstanding the fact that stiff breeze
has been blowing all day, the principal mil
linery establishments have been thoroughly
canvassed by our ladies. Bonnets are to be
had at greatly reduced prices as compared
with last year. The long veil is still to be
worn for the face, and the small mask veil
which was formerly used is now attached to
the back of the bonnet, so as TO fall over the
coil Of hair. There is no change Of a very
decided character in the style Of arranging
the hair. One of the new modes includes
crimps, waves and short curls passing around
the head, with band between each row OF
curls, the back hair being arranged in high
waterfall or a coil

WHAT A NATIONAL DEPOSITORY Is
Few persons understand what national
depository is. 1t is a national bank, which
upon the deposit of an amount of securities
prescribed by the Treasurer of the United
States has been authorized as a depository
of public moneys, and financial agent OF
the United States. The securities vary in
amount according to the location of the de-
pository, its capital, and the amount of Gov
eminent moneys likely at any time to be in
its possession. The minimum amount OF
security has been fixed at $4,000 in United
States bonds; some Repositories have fur
aished securities to the amount of $4,000.
A bank qualified as depository is made the
place of deposit for the collections of inter-
nal yHsenue, when conveniently located for
that purpose, and may also be used as a
place Of deposit by any disbursing or receiv-
ing officers of the Government, except that
moneys received for customs may not be de-
posted with such depository.

COTTAGE HOME, n. c., Feb. 10, 1866
My Dear Ladies Your letter presenting
me, in the name of the Southern Women
of Memphis, with portrait of my beloved
husband, executed by Mr.. J. r. Saunders,
of your city, has just been received. The
portrait arrived safely by express a few
weeks since.
No token of regard that you could have
shown me, for his sake, could be more ac-
ceptable or highly priced, or could touch
my bereaved heart more deeply, than this
likeness of my sainted husband. With
full heart, | tender you my warmest thanks,
and assure you of my heartfelt thankfulness
and qualification in possessing such picture.
! have an excellent front vie'V portrait Of
him, which is an inexpressible comfort and
pleasure to me- and now it is a double JOY

Please thank Mr.. Saunders most kindly for
me, for his generosity in contributing a part
Of the subscription price.
Your beautiful tribute to the memory
of Iay precious husband is warmly appreciat-
ed. To see him thus enshrined in the hearts
of his noble countrywomen, is a sweet so!aee

THE Radical candidate for the Legisla-
ture-Judge BRIEN-having failed on two
occasions to secure an audience respectable
in numbers, publishes speech on yesterday
morning. 1t is singular speech-singular-
ly weak, dull, pointless and unfair-but
chiefly singular in that it leaves the reader
in perfect ignorance as to the candidates
positions on the franchise law. The Judge
seems to be unable to perceive the difference
between Major LEWIS and Radical, which
certainly argues a plentiful Lack of dis
elimination, and he is absurd enough to at
tempt to make people believe that because
he was not an actual member of a Know
Nothing council, he didnot vote and act with
that party while it had an existence. These
are evidences of great intellectual obfusca-
ton, but we give him credit for sufficient
capacity to say, if he will, whether he is for
or against the franchise bill, and whether,
if by any miracle, he should be elected, he
will vote for or against it. That's the ques-
ton, Judge Hold up your head and speak
out like a man.

From the Memphis Argus.
MEMPHIS, Jan. 10, I866.-Mrs T. j. Jack
son, Charlotte, n. C.-Dedr Madam: Wetake
great pleasure in transmitting to you, in the
name of the Southern Women of Mem
phis" portrait of your lamented husband,
Gen, Thomas j. Jackson, executed by Mr..
Jno. Il. Saunders, a Memphian artist, who
has himself generously contributed a part of
the subscription price. In attempting the
likeness of one of his country's greatest men,
Mr. Saunders is said to have been successful
by those who had the privilege of standing
face to face with him, who was the familiar
companion of your life, and the hero of re-
cent history. We hope you may discover
in this portrait something to remind you
tenderly, not tearfully, of the past and that
YOU may look on it with a memory thronged
with sweet recollections, and animated
by Just and Christian pride in
the glory and usefulness of a life cut
down by your side. Looking on those Illus
trious features, we feel, indeed. as if we were
reading in them the calm, settled glory of
the past, and taking new inspiration from
the grand and melancholy eyes, a new lesson
of courage and patience from the mute lips.
1t is thus pictures speak to us. Regarding
the portrait, you may catch on your own
heart the gentle whispers Of remembered
love. To us, it speaks tie more general
words of your country's history, tells us of
immortal deeds, and bestows on us, too, an
q6ectionate memory of the past Surely, he
whose services belonged to his country,
whose name illumined his country, whose
life was given to his country, has no other
tenderer memorial than those of the emf
nences of public life, and no shrine more APP
propriate and inviolable than the hearts of
his countrymen.
We have the honor to be yours sincerely,
