RADICALS FRIGHrENED AT CoER
CHAN

NhON-
The dispatches yesterday contained
extracts from a letter of Senator Howard,
Of Michigan, one of the prominent Radi-
cal leaders, aSerring that President John
son contemplates the use Of violent
measures towards the Congressional rev
olutionists, in the event they attempt to
seize the Executive department of the
government under the forms of Presiden-
tial impeachment, or a joint resolution of
suspension of that functionary. This Je-
Goblin INDUCES in soaring gasconade
about reopening the war on Rebels on
account of it, and Enthusiastically invites
the occasion for doing So
Senator Thayer, of Nebraska, another
JacObin whom the disjointed times has
lifted from obscurity to the United States
Senate, also made q speech in Cincinnati
ON Saturday night last, in which he as
serted that he had positive knowledge
that the President meditated the use Of
force, if necessary, to preserve the gov
eminent he said
l have recently been in MARYLAND and
the District Of Columbia, having left
Washington only night before last. While
there took special pains to inform myself
in regard TO the present purposes of Mr..
johnson, and obtained what L am about TO
state from reliable authority. l declare
upon my responsibility as Senator of the
United States that to-day Andrew John
son meditafes and designs forcible resist
ance to the authority OF Congress. make
this statement deliberately, having re,
ceiyed il from unquestioned and unoues-
tionable authority. Icannot point ont the
occasion on which he may attempt to use
military force. 1t may be to prevent the
assembling ofCongress, or when assembled
il the House Of Representatives passes ar
ticles OF impeachment or it may be for
the purpose of forcing the Southern Sena-
tors and Representative to seats in Con-
gress. The question may be asked, How

can be do such thing ?" You recoIlecf
that SIX months ago Gov. Swami, of Mary
land was elected United States Senator,
and that few weeks afterward he de-
clined, giving great reasons of State as the
cause. 1t was that Lieut. Gov. Cox of that
state could not be trusted for Johnson's
purposes. There is to-day a standing
army In Maryland, an organized militia
force, such as no other State in the Union
has, othcered mainly by returned Rebels.
When the time comes which he looks for,
under some pretense johnson may declare
Maryland and the District of Columbia
under martial law, and call upon Governor
Swami TO bring forth his militia THERE'S
nothing that will deter johnson from his
purpose, except when the issue comes that
his courage may fail. | make this state
ment that the American people may know
the danger that threatens their peace and
safety. II Pennsylvania and New York
give Democratic majorifies in the coming
elections, ii will embolden him TO carry
out his purpose and hope that YOU, the
people of Ohio, will be warned in time, and
so cast your votes as to rebuke and prevent
the mad designs of this bad man who is now
acting President of the United States. But,
gentlemen, let me say to you, that when
ever johnson attempts force, and orders
any soldiers he may have under his com
mand to resist the authority of Congress,
his doom is sealed. The fate from which
he has preserved the traitor Jefferson
Davis viii then be melted out to him; aye,
when that time comes, 100000 men from
Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio will
fly TO arms and tramp the soil of Maryland
TO reach the beleaguered capital, and rescue
it from the hands Of Rebels and traitors.
In conclusion, let me say to you, who have
borne the flag before the enemy, do your
duty in the coming elections-Vote for
those men who by their record have shown
themselves to be your friends, and the
friends of the government. Rally as one
man to the standard of justice and liberty,
and that flag will yet float over a united
and happy land. VIZ
These fellows, with whom coercion of
Rebels was so popular few years since,
are greatly Disguised at the prospect of
having that chalice commended to their
own lips" but if they persist in their
reasonable conspiracy against the gov
eminent, the President will be false to
his duty if he permits them to consum-
mate it without resistance Upon such
an issue, they will find the people will
hurl them to destruction swiftly, sharply,
and decisiSely If they provoke such
contest it will not be war, but the arrest
and punishment of traitors apprehended
in the overt act.

WHY OUR STATE BOMBS ARE DE.
PRECTATING

One Of the results which the Press and
Times predicted would follow the re-
election of Governor BrOwnlow, would be
the appreciation of Tennessee bonds to
nearly par A few days after the election
that paper gave as very significant, let-
ter received at the Executive DEPART
ment from one of the best known of the
denizens of Wall street, New York, in
which it was said persons are talking
Of selling United States bonds and buying
Tennessee 6s" Now, what are the facts?
On the I'd of August the new Tennessee
bonds, issued under Gov. Brownlow's adj
ministration, sold at Csc; on the 23d
inst they sold down to 632c In the same
time United States (5-20s) have declined
less than one cent, while ours declined
44c. Wonder how many of the persons"
referred to by the astute "denizen of
Wall street, sold their United States
bonds and bought Tennessee Is? Georgia
Is sold in New York on the 5th of August
at 74c, and they were quoted at 734c on
the 23d inst. 1t thus appears that our
bonds have declined 31c more than those
of Georgia. Why is this ? The interest
on our bonds have been paid promptly,
yet capitalists have no confidence in our
securities There is reason for this
The Wall street capitalists are fully
posted in regard to the fact that we have
been borrowing money to pay the interest
on our bonds They know, too, that the
present State government is the most ex~
travagant that we have ever had and
then the State has so far repudiated its
obligation to the holders of the notes of
the Bank of Tennessee. This has been
a very heavy drawback upon our credit,
and will continue so until wiser counsels
prevail. In addition to these facts, the
civil affairs of the State have been so
conducted as to impair instead of inspire
confidence We have the evidence Of
this in the depreciation of our State
credit The partisans of Brownlow de-
clared during the canvass that the re-
election of their candidate would inspire
confidence among the capitalists of the
North in our State, and that our credit
would at once appreciate. The result
has been the reverse Our bonds have
declined Ate in less than two months,
while those of Georgia have declined less
than one cent. On the 23d inst Georgia
6 per cent bonds were quoted at 734c,
while ours sold down to 632c, difference
of nearly ten cents in the dollar. While
our interest has been met as promptly
as that of Georgia, the affairs OF, the
latter have been more prudently con-
Quoted, and instead of indulging in the
widest of extravaganza, the authorities
Of the latter have praeticed strict economy
and saved money from the revenues of
the State to pay the interest on their
bonds. We thus see by comparison
where we are drifting JESSE.

The Cincinnati Commercial is disposed
to indulge in the ludicrous at the expense
of cur Governor, who is good at discover
ing 'little rebellion" in whatever OPP
poses has opinions or wishes. He is de-
cidedly of opinion that no man ought to
have an opinion, if that opinion is con-
trary to his opinion He is very opinion

who does not believe in the infallibility
of his opinion The Commercial speaks

and extensive stock of impending crises
constantly on hand, adapted 70 the desires
or requirements Of all customers. Nashville
is enjoying one of the largest patterns at
present The irrepressible Brownlow, of
course, has 8 hand in il. No man on the
oontinent--none in the world, probably,
outside Of Donnybrook--is blessed with so
inappeasable an appetite for row as the
present patriotic Governor Of Tennessee.
Things have been disgustingly quiet with
him since the State election but they are
looking more cheerfully lively just now
Having succeeded to his satisfaction in
managing the State canvass, the bellicose
Governor is inclined TO take the local az
fairs of the capital in hand. He claims that
the State Commissioner Of Registration,
under the franchise law, must appoint the
Judges and Clerks for the approaching mu-
nicipal election. The Mayor and City
Council. on the other hand, maintain that
the State franchise law does not affect the
CITY charter-in which view they appear 10
be sustained by the leading lawyers--and
they have consequently appointed set Of
election officers, who express determine
ton TO hold the election at all hazards
The Governor, however, proclaims his re-

has ordered the concentration Of all avail
able State troops in the city, to give prac-
teal effect 10 his threat. As an Offset 30 this,
the Mayor now talks Of swearing in q small
army ofspecial police. The city is in fer
ment; political professions have been in
tsrdicted, and in the turmoil Of this latest
impending crisis, the Governor is doubtless
as near perfect beRtitude as his peculiar
organization win permit.
