THE CALUMNlEs oS THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY
SEWARD.


KNOXVILLE, CHESTER Co., PEHN, Oct.3, 1866.
''f g. q William IL Seward secretary of State Washington
Dear ,Sl,--1 am aware that you have little time
to read, much less to answer, letters relating to
matters not connected with your official duties
and would not obtrude this upon you but from
sense of duty to one who has been my political
light and guide for near forty years. But | will
be as brief as possible.
On Tuesday evening, September Is, 1866,
meeting Of Republicans was held in this place,
which was addressed by Hon. John Hickman.
who, after few Introductory remarks, said:
"1his nation is ruled by two drunkards and a
woman. Andy Johnson and William H. Seward |
are both drunkards, and they are completely un.
der the control of vile and vicious female who
has access to the white house by night and by day
when good Union men are denied admittance. |
She yields the appointing and pardOning power |
as she pleases. Johnson and Seward are always
drunk, and she is always bawd The white house |
is den of vice.
Near the conclusion of his speech he used the
following language
"Who originated the plot to assassinate Lincoln
may never be known to certainty. Men and
woman have been hung for it; l tell you that
Andy johnson is base enough for anything. Yes,
repeat it-Andy johnson is base enough for
anything
The above was uttered in public hall filed to
its utmost capacity with ladies and gentlemen,
and in a tone and manner calculated to make deep
| impression.
After the meeting was over I asked Mr.. Hick
man ii he had proof Tor his assertions relating to
the LEVIED woman, etc. He replied that the proof
was abundant.
nave conversed with many of the people who
were present and have found but very few who
doubt the truth of Hickmans statements. They
say she would not dare to make such declara-
tons if they were not true.n
A citizen Of this place who was at a Republican
meeting in West Chester on Monday evening, Oct.
| ], 1866. informs me that Hickman said to a very
! large gathering Of people there: :. Andy johnson
instigated the murder of Lincoln; that he knew"
or words to that effect
Such is the style Of electoneering now in vogue
in these parts

EIeefion of The Rebel Williams.

This unprincipled miscresnt has been elected by a
few votes 70 represent Carter county in the Legls
lature On the subject of this election much is be-
ing said in the rebel papers of the State, and they
are claiming that it is evidence that the people Of
this county have gone over TO the reconstruction of
the rebel-Democrstic party. While we denounce
Williams as shallow-brained, unprinepled traitor
We protest against his success being taken as evil
dence that those who voted for him are unpatriotic
He secured his election by system of lying unpar-
alleled for fellow of his calibre. He made thepeo
ole believe that he was in favor of Franchise
law, while there not greater enemy to that law in
he state. Heso declared explicitly. This is only
an, oC the innumerable lies he told The fact is
his tongue would be blstered if he told the truth
In two public speeches in his county we told the
neopIe he was the tool of the rebels of Nashville
They will learn it from his own acts as soon as
lhe legislature meets. From one of the best citi-
zens Of the county, we publish letter in this pa
per on the subject of the election. The writer is
reliable and responsible and his name will be
given II demanded

Remarkable Case Of TranCe--.A Lady
Rises from her Coffin.

A lady, residing within sixteen miles OF Raleigh
says the Progress, who has been in delicate health
since she lost her husband in 1885, died last Friday
las was supposed and her friends in the neighbor-
hood proceeded to take the steps usual on such
casons The coffin was ordered the corpse shrouded
and laid out and all needful preparations consum-
mated for the funeral ceremonies last Sabbath
Strange it may appear it is said that, while the
watchers in an adjoining room were indulging in
hilarity and hot coffee noise was heard in the
apartment where the remains Of the beloved depart
cd reposed.
Surprising a cat or rat was playing therein, gen.
tleman went to stop the revelry. On opening the
door he was Mortified to find the lady standing on
the floor, the very incarnation of perplexity. The
brave fellow hastily retreated. His demonstrations
excited the rest of the party, and the whole crew.
shreking and trembling, deserted the house for a
season. An elderly negroes, more courageous than
the others, went into the dwelling and ascertained
the state of affairs, and with Christian herosm ad-
ministered to the necessities of the dead-alive one
Search was then made for the retreaters, who, be-
ing found at a neighbors returned to the domicil
they had so shamefully abandoned.
Dr'Bell, formerly of Greenville, South Carolina,
who has attended the lady during the past six
and present no new truths to the medical profession
It is simply case of trance or suspended animation.
The only remarkable circumstance, perhaps, is the
duration of the spell, though after her presumed de-
cease the absence of that perfect ieyness which is
peculiar to the dead was remarked by the physician
as well as her friends
The lady is now able TO sit up, and being in the
last stage of consumption is well she ever will
be- She remembers very little of the hours of her
trance but experienced an almost painful thirst in
the first moments Of returning conscience.

Gov. BrOWnlOw Thirty Years Ago.

Some of the rebel papers of the South quote from
the Governors controversy with Pryne, before the
rebellion to show that he Southern pro-savery
mana fact he has never denied, and to which he
has given publicity for years. In the years 1872
while he resided in South Carolina, he had pro-
trscted controversy with talentedcalvnstic preach
er publishing two or three pamphlets on each side
of the question. On the 9th page of the Governors
third and last pamphlet put forth in October, 1892
published in Hiram Barry Job Office, at Knoxville,
viii be found the first chapter the Governor ever
wrote and published upon the slavery question. 1t
is well worthy Of consideration, and shows him up
consistent record. He there says:
when l drove nay competitor to the wall, in
our controversy and convicted him of retailing his
SANDERS of me upon the authority of a negro Slave
of bad character, (Bachus) the servant of his CO.
laborer in his dirty work, DR.. Barns he came out
and tainted with the false charge that Methodist
preachers were the friends of negroes, and opposed
to slavery, and that Mr. Wesley, their great idol,
wrote and preached against the War of the Revolu-
ton, and slavery. Many Of the Methodist preach
ers are opposed to slavery; but as many more Of
them own slaves and advocate the institution. 30
far as Mr. Wesley involved be wrote and preached
against the african kidnapping business. denounee

New England or these Southern and Western States.

racy, and slave-holding members voted thus. have

Insane ASYLUM,

We visited the Insane Asylum of the State few
days since and, through the kindness of DR.. w. P.
Jones the able and efficient Surgeon and Superin-
tendent were shown through the entire establish
ment.
On entering each ward, could see, by the smiles
upon the faces of the poor unfortunate creatures,
how delighted they were to see the Doctor, for all
of whom he had pleasant word. He has complete
and perfect control over the inmates, and this he
has secured by his kindness. Z" He is the right man
in the right place" We can unhesitatingly pro-
nounce the Doctor one of the best house-keepers
ever saw. Order and cleanliness are observable in
every department of the Institution. The floors the
table ware and table linen are spotless. In fact,
everything is in order place for everything, and
everything in its place.
The people Of Tennessee have reason to be proud
of their Asylum and every man, woman and child
owes their thanks to Dr. w. P. Jones and his able
assistants for their untirng energy in behalf Of Ten
nessees poor unfortunates. We have visited many
Insane Asylums, but this is better managed than
any we have ever seen.-NashUiLe Press and Times

srnment but the sIarsru question: is the one to be
dreaded. While shall advocate the owning Of
men, women and children, as you say our discip-
line styles slaves, Isha il am lring iphe,s the bat
tie comes, stand By my Government and The Union
formed 6y oar fathers as Mr.. Wesley stood By The
British Government Of s1hieh he cas loyal subject"
Thus it will be seen that from the first Governor
Brownlow has been thorough national man, and
even when pro-savery man never had the slightest
sympathy with secessonists. He has been life
long foe to boiling, disorganization and disunion.

Su.n, p,,,rrcE-All the roads from New York

foreigners enigrsting South would be passed over
these roads at halfprice On Thursday, scoun-
dral not foreigner but native of American soil,
ticket on his way to his home in New Orleans via
Memphis. The ticket he procured in New York
from the agent there for the purpose of furnishing
emigrants tickets. The agent was doubtless i'm
posed upon by some foreigner, who procured the
ticket for this fellow.
The thief wss handsomely dressed, wearing con-
siderable jewelry, and having two large trunks
President Branner ought TO have held his baggage
until he "forked over" full fare BE, however, let
him of with ansexpression of has opinion tha' nc
was a thief and scoundrel" L. d. CalloWay,
President E. T. & Ga. r. r. telegraphed his con-
ductor to collect full fare. Mr.. Branner did not
know of the fraud until the train was on the eve of
leaving.
We canton ali railroad men TO beware Of such
syindlers II is not intended to give transportation
70 omigrants travelling alone. To do so it would be
inonossibe TO guard against fraud. Thedesre OF the
officers Of the different roads is to encourage emigra
ton sltb and their proposition to pass emigrants
nj half fare is q most generous one, in view of the
necuniary embarrassment of all Southern lines. To
guard against fraud emigrants should be passed in
small squads by families 1t is the interest of all
persons desiring TO come South, whether emigrants
OF not, TO travel over the great Southern route,
through East Tennessee they will find close con-
nections, comfortable cars and accommodating con-
ductors. The roads of Galloway and Branner, in
East Tennessee are in as good condition as any in
the South.

Of Bradley county. Capt. N. was arrested by po-
Iceman and taken before Recorder White on the
charge of running his horse through the principal
business street of our city. Wehappened to be near
tie policeman when the arrest was made, and can
testify he was not running Looping his horse. The
arrest would have been justihable on the charge OF
pacing too rapidly. The time he was making might
have resulted in serious consequences by causing
runaway Of buggy or carriage horses That our
