JUDGE HELEN AND THE STATE Gov
EMINENT.


It is singular that The Radicals cannot
comprehend any proposition upon any pub
lie question, which national Unionist may
advance; or, if they do, to pesvert and mis-
represent it invariably and persistingly.
In July last, when fraction of the Legis-
lature had assembled at the State Capitol to
further outrage the wishes and rights of the
people Of Tennessee, by the adoption of the
constitutional amendment proposed by Con-
gress, and 10 accomplish their purpose, were,
without legal warrant or authority, sending
over the State for members who failed to
attend, a hGbeas corpus case arose before
Judge FRAZIER, TO relieve one of the menu
bers from an illegal arrest made by their
order. Judge JOHN s. BRIEN was one Of
the counsel in that case. In its argument
he held that a number Of members Of the
House of Representatives less than quorum
were legally and cOnstilutioually incapable
Of doing any business-could confer no
power on anybody TO arrest members-and
that such arrest was wholly without author
ity and void. In this position he was sus-
tanned by the Court-tbe judgment of which
was that the party was illegally arrested,
and he was accordingly discharged from
custody. In the discussion Judge B. had no
occasion to discuss the legality or genuine
Of the State government and did not
Do so. But he did pronounce the fraction
Of the House Of Representatives less than
quorum, assuming to act as a part Of the
General Assembly, and issuing edicts for the
arrest Of members, as a usurpation and
yoid-he did denounee this factious fraction,
SO far as they assumed the powers of legis-
lation as bogus and their pretended legisla-
ton as bogus.
In view Of his candidacy, on Saturday
morning last, correspondent of BRowN-
Lows organ in this city, charged that Judge
BRIEN had pronounced the StGte gorelHment
bogus. In his speech of acceptance, after his
nomination on that day, hedenied the charge
and denounced the author of it as "a liar
and a scoundrel." He proceeded at the
same time to state what he had said in the
case of WILLIAMS as given above, and
added that while he held the present State
government as irregular in its inception,
formed not in accordance with the Consti-
tuition as il existed before the war, it was
thought the emergency rendered it necessary,
and that he had never denied that necessity
This is nearly the exact language Of Judge
B. as used al the Courthouse on Saturday.
Yet BRowELow's organ yesterday reiterates
the charge of its correspondent, that Judge
B. had denounced the State government as
bogusl Ifithas an honest impulse in its heart,
or an element of fairness in its nature, it
win make the proper correction and do jus
tice to Judge B.

THE METROPOLITAN IN CONFLICT
WITH THE MAGIsTRACY AT MEM
PHES.


FROM the Memphis Appeal 2lst.l
There was great excitement crealedin ihe
city last evening by the news spreading that
Superintendent BEAUMONT had refused TO
acknowledge the writ served on him, and
treating the order Of the magistrate with
contempt. As near as we can gather the
facts, from various parties, il seems that a
squad Of Metropolitan Police night before
last bounced upon gambling saloon on
Court street, and seized upon all their in
struments, and arrested the inmates-hOld-
ing the proprietor under fifty dollars forfeit,
and the Others in twenty-five dollars each.
We are also informed that the fines of the
party was received, the principal paying
twenty-five dollars, and the individuals if
teen dollars. Yesterday morning the pro-
prietor Of the implements captured got out
writ Of replevin against Supt. BEAUMONT,
for his goods, as he calls them, but that gen
tleman refused to recognize the power Of the
constable who was acting under authority of
Esquire CREIGHTON. Upon this being made
known, the proprietor Of the gambling sa-
loon obtained a search warrant and placed
it in the hands of Constable JAS. CREGH-
ToE, who went to Supt. BEAUMoNT's Office
on Madison street. for the purpose Of seizing
on the goods, which were in a safe.
The keycould not be found, and the consta-
bic had towait over an hour, when Supt.
BEAUMONT. entered and the search warrant
was served on him. Il was only a short
time afterward when some forty or fifty me-
tropolitans came into the Office, and the con-
stable was ordered TO leave. In the mean
time, Supt. BEAUMONT opened the safe, took
out the gambling implements, and threw
them into the Ere and they were burned.
While this was going on, and the constable
was being put out, one Of the sanitary police
was not satisfied with having overpoRered
the legally authorized representative Of the
magistrate, but drew a pistol and presented
it at the head of that gentleman to accelerate
his exit. IF the affair is as we have learned
it, it brings a very serious charge against
the head of the metropolitan police, for in
none of the States of the Union, ex cept H.
linois, are magistrates clothed with more
authority than in Tennessee. 1t was a high
handed measure, and one which must not
be allowed. The police are far below the
authority of magistrate as the magistrate
is below that Of a Judge.
