The Lebanon Herald and Register, of yes
terday, furnishes the following:
Gov. CAMPBELL, one of the representa-
tiYes from this Congressional district to the
Philadelphia Convention, has returned. The
Governor is in the highest spirits over the
result of the Convention, and is sanguine of
the success of the new party. His account
of the perfect harmony between the South
ern and Northern delegates is highly salts
factory, and no one can listen to his enthusi-
astic praise of the generous spirit evinced
by the War Democrats and Conservative
Republicans without sharing his hopes of
the ultimate triumph Of the President in
his battle with tyranny and oppression.
The Board of Trustees, at a meeting
last week, unanimously resolved to tender to

it is the universal desire of our citizens that
he should do so.

says:

was opened at this place on Monday after
noon by his Honor Judge HILARY WARD.
The Attorney Generals Office being vacant
by the resignation of Mr.. NOAH, RoBEBT l..
CARUTHERs, ESD, was appointed by the
Court. Mr. CARUTHERs will fill the Office
TO the entire satisfaction Of all concerned,
since he brings to the discharge Of its duties
considerable experience, much ability and
untiring energy. There are great number
of cases to be tried-on the civil docket 6IS;
on the State docket 100; but none Of them
will probably be taken up this term.
AK unmitigated outrage is being per
petrated by the Commissioner Of Registra-
lion in this county, by refusing to grant GER
tifcates to young men who have come OF
age since the war, and who were never IN
the Confederate army. Who in fact we're
legally not in existence before the passage Of
the Infamous Law. Upon what grounds he
bases his action we have not learned. We
believe it is simply because they are none
Of them Radicals.
We learn that the suits against Com
missioner Common for refusing to grant Ger
tifcates, has been set for Friday next. We
believe Attorney General CALDWELL and
Mr.. OTIs, are expected from Nashville 70
argue the case for Mr.. CoSSoR, while NJ.
Peterson, ESD, and Hon. A. o. 7. NIGH
OLSON, viii appear for the plaintiffs.
