STEWART COUNTY.

Correspondence Of the Union and Americana
DOVER, STEWART COUNTY, Tenn, July
10th, 1861 have just returned from a trip
Of several days through the different coun-
ties of Humphry, Henry and Montgomery.
In the villages and country through which
Ipassed the topic was mostly about Governor
BROwNLOw calling his selfmade Legisla-
ture together to adopt the amendment to the
Constitution. Some were Of the opinion the
Governor and his Legislature had not sunk
so low in degradation as to pass the PROPOSE
zion over the peoples head, against their will
and wish, while others were of the opinion
that the Governor and his Legislature were
Just the men for the occasion. | heard a
gentleman Of veracity say that several of that
famous body at the time they usurped the
power and called themselves elected, were
not from the counties they pretend to repre-
sent and were parcel Of camp sackers and
followers and had left their professions on
account of being hotly pursued, and fled to
Nashville as refugees, where they were sup
ported by the bounties of the Government.
This may be true; can't say myself but it
accords very well with their acts, which are
matters of record.
Corn, oats, tobacco, potatoes and veget-
ables, all looked we'll. There is not quite as
much wheat raised as usual, but very good.
l think at least three-fourths OF more Of for
mer crops.
We are just through our July term of the
Circuit Court There was not much done.
Most of the cases, in which there was no
money, were dismissed or passed over; there
were few citizens in the county who had
suits in court, and had still left them little
land which fire and sword could not con-
sumo. These suits were not passed over
but the prosecutors were there with their
sheriff., lawyers, balances, etc, waiting for
the pound of flesh. Several of these kind
ofsuits were brought for the hire of negroes
for the year 1862, and for the sale Of negroes
in the year 1861, and not all the money
paid. In all the cases tried judgment went
Sgainst the defendants. The learned dociors
of the law tell US, that through Mr. LIN
coins proclamation the guarantees for the
sales Of slaves become null and void do not
justice and honesty tell US the note is in the
same condition? Judges and attorneys say
not PIKE and SMILEY tell US that rule
that wont work both ways is bad one
they probably had never been in law, or
they would have made the law one excep-
ton TO the rule. Law is said to be founded
on justice. ESQ, and the purchaser or hire
Of slaves in 1861 and 90, has to pay for them
after they are set free by the Government,
without probably the benefit of one dollar,
say, God save me henceforth and forever
more from that law and justice.

An important decision was rendered yes
terday by Judge NELSON in the United
States Circuit Court of the Southern Dis
trict of this State. A large quantity of
abandoned cotton was in 1865 and '66 seized
in the State of Georgia by an agent of the
Treasury Department, and forwarded for
sale on Government account TO SIMON ORA
PER, Government agent for the sale of con-
fscated cotton. The claimants of the prop
erty moved to have the case removed for ad-
Indication from the United States District
Court to the State Court. The motion was
Overruled, and the disposition Of the cotton
sold under the confscation act of 1868, was
sustained by the court.

gated, which gives any foreigner the right
to become citizen of Mexico in twenty
four hours after his arrival, by renouncing
his allegiance TO his native country, and

sible for the surrender.
Gen. MEJIA and staff, who evacuated
Matamoras, had arrived at Mexico.

THE RETIRING TRIO OF MINISTER'S.

The thinner of the Boston Post draws the
following outline portrait of three of the
Cabinet, who, the newspapers have led US
to believe, are partisans OF the Congressional
Directory, and are about to retire because Of
incompatibility of temper with the Presi-
dent, and a want of attachment to the Con-
stimtion:
Attorney General SPEED Mr.. HARLAN,
and Mr.. STANTON. it is said. are tired Of
the climate of Washington, and talk of leav-
ing for a more agreeable atmosphere. Our
neighbor Of the Daily appears to be gratifed
at this prospect, and may we'll rejoice at the
contamination of its urgent recommendation
of Mr.. STANToN's removal long ago. These
three gentlemen have been no advantage to
the Government or the country. Mr.. SPEED
is q man of small talents and but little pro-
fessional learning. Mr.. HARLAN is a tricky
partisan; cunning in promoting his selfish
purposes; but no more of a wise statesman
in Office than a meek christian in the pulpit
Mr.. STANTON pushed from the Confederate
breakers, where he first launched his boat, to
the opposite shore, and as sOoE as upon firm
ground was in favor of hanging his own
crew as pirates. His manners are uncouth-
his temper revengeful-his action the
promutings Of envy and prejudice, and his
ambition a labor 10 sink superiors to his own
level. A great blusterer, with arrogance
only equalled by his conceit Of his own i'm
portance. The trinity can be spared with
out fear OF damage to the public interest or
depression TO the spirits Of the people.

IohnsOn NatIOnaI Union Convention.

I
INDIANAPOLIS, July 19.-The JOHNSON
NatioBal Union Convention in this city to-
day was very thinly attended, the lumber
of actual delegates not exceeding 120.
There were three congressional districts
not represented. None of the speakers in
yited from abroad were present. Only those
who supported LINCOLN and JOHNSON in
1864 and now support JOHNsoNs restora-
tion policy were allowed to participate
Delegates to the Philadelphia Convention
were appointed and a series of resolutions
adopted. First expresses ardent attach
ment to the Union of States under the Con-
stitution-denies the right of secession, and
holds all attempts null and void. Declares
all States now States in this Union as before
the rebellion. Denies the power of the Gen
eral Government to exclude State from
the Union or govern it as a territory.
I'd. Confidence in President JOHNSON is
undiminished approves the general policy
of his administration indorses his restora-
ton policy as wise, patriotic, constitutional,
and in harmony with the loyal sentiment
and purpose of the people in suppressing
the rebellion; with the platform on which
he was elected, and with the declared policy
of the late President.
Sd. Under the Constitution the right to
prescribe the qualifications of representatives
is reserved to the States and it would be
subversive of the principles of our Govern
ment for Congress to force universal suffrage
upon any part of the country in opposition
to the wishes of the citizens thereof
4th. All States are entitled by the Consti-
tuition to representation; all loyal members
duly elected should be admitted 10 seats in
Congress without unnecessary DELAY, each
House judging of the qualification of its
members.
9Th. The payment of the national debt is
a sacred obligation never to be repudiated,
and no debt incurred in aid of treason and
rebellion should ever be paid.
9th. The nation owes q lasting debt of
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors, and
families of fallen heroes should be cared for
by the Government. 1t endorses the Presi-
dents determination to give offices to the
soldiers.
9TH. Delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
vention are expected to cooperate only with
loyal Union men.
