re evidence against Potter. The fact

are evidence against Potter The fact
Ward was inquiring for Potter, on his
way to Wilhston, is evidence only that
he was the man who was at Potter's. II
he was, he was where plan could have
been formed. His presence there and the
talk about horses is all consistent with
innocence. But they could have then
planned the murder the question is if
they did so.
As to the question of inducement it
appears that Potter's wife was the heir Of
Mrs. Griswold, and it is said this furnish
ed an inducement to the murder. This
may be true to certain extent, but II Is
such an lnducement as any man has to
take the life of one of whom he Is the
heir. Few men but have such an induce
ment, to take the life OF somebody. Yet
murders from such inducements are the
least frequent. They are contrary to hu-
man affection, and such inducements rare
" induce murder.
IL this case, the life Of old Mr.. Girls
void stood between Potter and immediate
possession Of the property. Taking all
the circumstances, there seems 70 have
been no great ill-wil or luminosity between
the Potters and Mrs. Griswold, and that
more on the old lady's part than on theirs.
There Is, on the whole, little evidence
that any arrangement was entered into
between the respondents. Whether there
was or not rests with YOU to determine
from the facts. The evidence being
wholly clrcumstantial, great caution Is
necessary. The jury must see if the
chain OF circumstances Is perfect, for II a
single link IS defective the chain Is brok-
en-. As to Munsons testimony, If YOU
are satisfied that Potter's object was TO
bride him to pack a jury, such an act
would be great improperly, and would
show that he did not rely on his limo
cence TO protect him. II. on the other
hand, all he desired was to secure a fair
trial, while It was improper for him 70

How TRUE.-The Louisville Courier SAYS:
''There is not civilized nation ON the
face of the earth that would not ioyfully
accept the Southern States as part of it's
dominions, and grant them equal rights
with their own people, nor one that would
not feel its strength and power doubled by
the acquisition. Their immense and fertile
territory, the grand and wonderful heroism
OF their people, their astonishing capabili-
ties for producing wealth, the fidelity of
the people to their pledges, make not only
the territory, but the people who inhabit
it, valuable beyond all calculation Yet
the blind and fanatical Jacobins who rule
this nation propose to erect that vast and
valuable domain into n negro colony, and
rxpel from it its heroic, cultivated, hospita-
blc and magnanimous inhabitants. Wa.
there ever such reckless .infatuation since
the confusion of tongues at the tower Of
Babel?"

H. fear OF impeachment, lingering

Tennessee.

We notice that the Tennessee pa
pers have been discussing for some
time the subject of calling conven-
ton of the people of that State, for
the purpose of revising the Constitu
ton and abrogat!ng the radical dis
enfranchlsement law. The project
has been canyassed for some time,
and the general impression is that the
Convention will be called, rs the Nash

favors the movement, or that he ut

Brownlow, who comes ont in his

Knoxville Wig, as follows:
'Gov. Brownlow and many promi-
nent men of the radical party in East
Tennessee have publicly declared that
they would 'disperse by force II con
vention to overthrow the State Go

''The convocation of such an assem-
bly, would be reasonable and as .cvo-
lutionary as the war waged for the
disruption of the Union.

papers in Tennessee have advised the
calling of this revolutionary conven-

Gen. Grant.

The General of the United States
armies is giving the radicals q great
deal of trouble about this time. Be-
fore the reception at the White House
OF the Philadelphia Convention Com
mittee, and up to the recent tour of
the President, the party thought
vely seriously of running him as their
candidate for the Presidency; but
since these manifestations, they are
utterly at IL loss. In the Western
States, where he is extremely popular,
they are resorting to various expe-
dients to create the impression that
he is really not in accord with the
Presidents political policy; while in
New England they are out-spoken in
their denunciations of his recent
course. Wendell Phillips, in the last
Anti-iSlare,y Standard, writes as fol-
lows:
''Should any violent attack be
made on Congress and.be successful,
it would be the commencement of
military despotism; if resisted, it
would be civil war; In this latter
emergency, we have no hope Of aid
from General Grant His volunteer
presence at the public interview of
these traitors, his ostentatious pre-
sentation of himself in the dema-
gogue's retinue during his Western
tour, show either the same pitiable
weakness which has made him lend
his name to very questionable cotton
speculation in the South, not from
greed of money, but to oblige friends
the same easy subservicncy which
made him submit to the farce of a
Southern express trick, merely to
bolster nr with his name wicked
fraud-or they show heart delibc-
rately ready to betray his country.
This is no hard judgment. Even if
Grant be, as some Of his near friends
assert, so ignorant outside of q
camp that he would not be fit to sit
on grand jury, still his intercourse
with leading members of Congress
enables him well enough to under
SothANt CAAC AAC.tutuS WHICH, Tie country
puts, and which the President means
it shall put, on his present attitude.
He is deliberately strengthening this
reasonable movement. In any con
hlct between the Executive and Con-
gress, he viii be found where all mere
sold'ers-routing cut-throats-hav
always been found-holding mp the
hands of despotism.'
Wendell Phillips has always been
plain and out-spoken III his language,
and seems to avoid policy in uttering
his sentiments. In the above, we
have no doubt he is Il true represcn-
tative of the feelings of the radicals,
however they may desire to disguise
these feelings us politicians. But
when he calls General Grant ;'n
routine cut-throat," holding up the
hands of despotism, he has over
leaped all the limits of prudence, and
stamped his party with all the b,1se-
ness attributed to it, and which must
ever attach to it.

THE GOLD PREMIUM. gold
premium has fallen to forty three Oh
four. When it was at fifty-six and a
half, few weeks ago, importers and
brokers of New York urged upon the
Treasury the policy of selling the
surplus, over $50 600 600, for the
purpose Of favoring importation.
But gold has fallen and imports in
creased by the demand abroad for our
Government securities, and the i'm
portation of gold from Europe and
large supplies also from California.
AT the present rate of importations,
the Treasury will, by the 1st of Janu-
ary next, possess $50, 600, 900 in gold,
after deducting all the sum -equired,
in the meantime, for the payment of
interest on gold-bearing bonds. $lO,-
600, 900 of the $4,000, 600 to bo paid
Tor interest will go to foreign bond
holders. The question is asked, whe-
ther the Secretary Of the Treasury
will suffer the amount of gold to be
augmented in the Government vaults,
III view of some plan for Il return by
degrees to specie payments, or sell it
ut market rates? His course, in this
respect, will undoubtedly bc dictated
by Congress-, and that body will tole-
rate no measures looking towards
specie standard.
