Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1866-09-12
Gov. BrOWnlOW'S SlandererS.

Thetreasonable johnson papers in Tennessee have
published editorials from the Richmond VA Ex-
aminer, bitterly denouncing Gov. Brownlow. Ar
tcles in which every opprobious epithet is applied
TO him usual in the vocabulary of an Andrew John
con blackguard editor. Among the persons who
have copied from the Richmond Omnibus of Filth
and Treason is the nominal editor of the dirty little
johnson paper in this city.
For the information of our readers we will show
the character of the editor of the Richmond Exam
liner. We do this, promising that the Examiner is
proper sheet from which the "a Ohio Omnibus Dri-
ver,7 Knoxville Merchant Prince" and Bristol
bswdy-house Hero, should make selections for his
paper.
H. Rives Pollard is the editor of this Richmond
paper from which much abuse Of the Governor
has been published From the Richmond Dis
patch, johnson Rebel-paper, we see that Pollard
of the Examiner, has assaulted and Threatened to
Kill WOMAN in Richmond.
The Grand Jury of the city ei Richmond made
the following presentment against him:
"A presentment for forcible entry into the
house Of Edwin NJ. Hewitt and trespass, assault and
battery therein:
1.-THE Jurors of the Commonwealth for the body
of the city of Richmond their oaths present that
H. Rives Pollard did, on the tin day of August, in
the year 1866 within the jurisdiction of the said
Court of Hastings in the city Of Richmond, and at
said city, with force and arms, break and enter the
dwelling house of Edwin NJ. Hewitt, he, the said H.
Riyes Pollard, being armed with firearms, and did
then and there in the house of the said Edwin NJ.
Hewitt assault and threaten 10 shoot Jessie He1citt
the wife of the said Edwin NJ. Hewitt, then and
there being and did then and there assault Gndboat
Uae of the female inmates of the said house and then
and there being and UioLef1tIy and with force of
arms drag her ont of the said house, and other
wrongs then and there did, to the damage and great
alarm and terror of all the inmates of the said
house then and there being against the peace and
dignity of the Commonwealth
The Dispatch publishes evidence clearly sustain
ing this presentment. Pollard is thus proven by his
political associates 10 be a sCOUNDREL. Yet; he is
possessed Of as much honor! as any one OF the men
whose Pronunciation OF the Governor is published in
the Knoxville Commercial
We rarely consume space TO reply 10 the abuse of
Governor BrownlOw by any newspaper in the State.
Many johnson papers in Tennessee, and especially
This little Knoxville abortion, contain nothing bat

There is less occasion for noticing anything from
the Weakly Dsily-Knoxville Commercial than
any other paper in the State Ithas no circulation
and is conducted by q degraded puppy, who is re-
marksble only because he enjoys the contempt of
every decent man in the community without regar d

Of some broken-down, ex-slaveholders of Knoxville
who are remarkable for neither brains OF patriot
ism.
A fellow who was splbTg.g in this city a
Wholesale merchant and, in derision, termed " The
Merchant Prince 4 swindler and thief who
made an immense debt for goods, and broke full

eIness of Mirty-rire thousand dollars A SWIM
pLIR who is now living in style from his i'll gotten
gains. A COWARD, who was publicly kicked and
whipped on our streets until he yelped like puppy
and begged like poltroon, " for Gods sake take
Marcy of" Yes whipped, not by a radical sur
rounded by mob, but whipped by Il. L. Ma1ey a
discharged rebel soldier. Whipped, not in polti-
cal controversy but because he would not pay
poor ex-rcbel soldier honest debt for manuel la
Dor.

Though degraded TO the level of brute, and an

les! concealed slandercrs who declare Governor
Brownlow arariciOus because he has sued leading
traitors for false imprisonment. Men who have
SWORN to accounts against the Government for twice
and thrice the amount Of damage done their prop
erty by the Federal army, and twice and thrice the
QuartermAster and Commissary stores taken from
them for the use Of the army.
Pollard and Patterson are the kind of fellows to
do the dirty work of such men, and denounce the
loyal men Of the nation.
