Capt. q. o. collins, Of Garter.


E%LIzABArHToN, Tenn, March 2Ist, 1866.
Editors E~ag.--Gaptain q. o.. Collins, hsv-
Ing announced himself q candidate to repre-
sent Carter county in the Legislature Of the
State, to,6ll the vacancy OcsasiOued by the
S-ecsssiOn Sf Mr.. Williams from thai body, It
may not be inappropriate to briefly avert 10
kis past and present political views. He en-
tsredthe ranks Of the Union army, as apri-
vAto in che early part Of the war, was pro-
NOTED to the rank Of corporal in the Second
Tennessee Infantry, and from his good sense
and practical habits was selected as a kind Of
a general boss Of headquarter business, I'M
der Col. Garter, in which he served with
credit to himself, and service to the Govern
ment for a long time, while It was tho for
tune Of the writer to become intimate with
his services, and who now takes pleasure in
recommending his energy and devotion to the
cause Of the Government, He was afterwards
promoted to the position OF Captain, upon
the unanimous endorsement Of his superior
officers, in which capacity be served until
the close Ofthe war.
lie is opposed to secession from the Union
and regards the action OF Mr.. Williams as only
a link in the conspiracy to destroy and break
up the United States.
AlwayseOyal, and bitterly opposed to re-
bellion, he can but deaounce the action Of
Mr.. Williams and others, in attempting to
break up the Legislature, in an effort to re-
store rebels and traitors to power In Tennes.
see.
He is opposed to rebels and negroes yOt.
ing, believing as he does, that the latter
would combine with the former, in c%ontroll-
ing the political power Of the State,
into the hands of the enemies Of
the Union. The bill upon which Mr.,
Williams abandoned his seat, only looks
to the exclusion Of rebels and negroes from
the polls. Mr.. Collins endorses this measure
because he believes rebels have forfeited their
right to vote, and that negroes are not ft to
exercise this right. If elected which is al
most certain, he will vote to keep the elective
franchise in the hands of the loyal ~hte men
of the State, and make rebels and negroes
take back seats. He helped to burn the first
bridge ever burned in East Tennessee and e1-
posed himself to a thousand dangers, and can
only hate rebels and traitors. Come out, boys,
and lets put "rebs7 through.

Falaehood and puplicity.

In some instances members from
East Tennessee, returning from Nash
vile, have excused themselves for
having voted against the Franchise
Law Of the House, and for ha7ing en-
tered into the conspiracy to break up
the Legislature, on the ground that
efforts were made to force negro Suf-
fage upon them. This is false in eve
~ particular, and discloses an a
mount of duplicity unworthy of any
mar elected to the Legislature. Ne
gro suffrage was in no wise connected
with the Frachiso Law, except in
such cases MS members of tho factious
minority offered to amend by allow
n { all men to vote irrespective of col
or. Such propositions were invari-
ably rejected by tho friends of the
bill. Men now take advantage Of the
pre- d Of tho people against negro
suffrage, and base upon a false foot.
ing their excuses for doing what rebei
iafQen6eS and rebel kin led them TO do
namely, TO mi~sreprosent the known
wishes Of the people who elected
them. Let men come out frankly
and confess that they have betrayed
the confidence reposcd in them, acted
and voted with the rebels, and against
the Union men, and not impose upon
the honest people By falsely raising
an issue that does not exist.-KRoE-

To Samuel N. AsneD, Of Middle Tennessee,
belongs the honor Of. introducing the PROPOSE.
tion in our Legislature for tho disiranchipe'
ment Of unrtpsDtant and malignant rebels.
In advocacy ofthis noble measure, tho I'M
selfish patriot and able legislator Of Middle
Tennessee made a lengthy and powerful
speech. From It we make the following elS'
queut passage,
a" know not how Others may feel bai
standing here as a Representative ofthe hrs'
General Assembly Of the free State Of Ten
nessec, and accepting all the odium and ha-
tired which may follow such declaration,
nevertheless boldly declare that we are false
to ourselves, false TO our constituents, and
false to the country, II we fail to pass q bill
which shall make treason Odious, and protest
rom the power Of TRAITORS the loyal people Of
this State.
"Upon a dozen battle-helds In Tennessee
the soldiers OF the Union bled and died ia
crush the serpent that Kissed defiance At the
Government. IN COMING TO THIS AS
SEMBLY WE PASSED OVER THEIR HON
oRED GRAVES. Let the dumb eloquenceo OF
those graves exhort us. l have appealed "a
You IN the name Of the living to guard the
State from traitors and | now say to you.
that if we are false to the great trust which
the fallen .legions OF our soldiers died To
place in our hands, they ought to rise in tu-
mutt from their graves, reform their ranks
and with their cleaning b%ayonets march
forth once more to thrust us from these
halls ~ IL
Loyal men of Carter, Hawkins, and HNmil'
ton, can you endorse the trcachery of the
apostates and r~cnegades who have mis-
reprepresented you in the Legisla'
,ure? Then on the 3lst of March, by ar
overwhelming majority, rebuke the aPOS'
tates who have proven that they were and

" fallen lcgionsn Of East Teqnessee's sons
died to place in our hands."-KaOr. Rhi5

WAsHISuToS, March u.
The session Of the Senate was occupied to-
day BY the discussion Of the bill to reorgan-
iae the regular army, after which 1t was pass
ed. 1t provide, for fifty regiments Of lnfani
try and twelve of cavalry. Eight regiments
Of colored infantry and two regiments Of COLI
ored cavalry are provided for, but are TO be
oficered by white men selected from meri-
t%orious volunteer officers. The propositions
to incorporate the Veteran Reserve Corps as
an organization was rejected. This bill will
90 TO the House, where the Military Commit
tee of that body hayeA bill already prepared
to report as a substitute for the Senate bill.
The first thing the House did to-day was
to take up the bill to amend an act relating
to kaBsa, corpus and in relation TO judicial
proceedings in certain cases, approved March
3, 1863. The bill is intended to protect
United States officers, or persons acting I'M
der their orders, from prosecution in the
State Courts for searches seizures or arrests
made during the rebellion, and provides for
the transfer of such cases from the State
Courts to the Circuit Court of the United
States. The bill is reported more especially
to reach a state of affairs in Kentucky. No
conclusion was reached on the measure.
The House spent all the rest of the day in
debating the joint resolution appropriating
one hundred thousand dollars to aid in the
exhibition of American prOducts Of industry
at the great French Exposition in Paris.

Lawlessness in Kontu cky.
. Louisville paper says:


Fifteen different p~roclamations
have been issued by Governor Bran
lette, in the past few months, offering
rewards for hoapprehension Of muir
derers alone. These rewards range
from $3.50 to $500, making the ag-
gregate, sum of $3.50 and involving
or accusing twenty-three persons Of
murder. These proclamations serve
TO show, to some exten Mt, the condi-
ton Of affairs in this State, and speak
forcibly of tho desperate and deplora
bic outrages that are committed.
These things happen in conscrva-
tive Kentucky where there is no fran
CHS law to exasperatc the secessionist.
II is tho demon Of treason which has
debauched the morals Of the South
and filed her borders with crimes
and the authors Of that treason are

for tho guilt and wretchodncss and

AS he could not Immediately take an

could not get along without some one

committing a slight indcscretion with
his beNuaiful housemaid, When in
