CARD FROM SECRETARY FLETCHER
NASHVILLE, TENN, June Il, 1867.


Editor Press and Times.
learn from the UNION AND DIsPATCH Of this
morning. that was misinformed as to the con
nection Of Messrs Torbett and TrOusdsle with
that paper. As these gentlemen were partne rs
Of, and writers for, that paper before and during
the first year OF. the war, and, as Il was gener-
ally understood, and believe announced that
Il had been revived by its former proprietors, /
had supposed my information to be correct.
But If these gentlemen declined TO enter upon
fresh career of sedition aud treason by connect
ing themselves with the UNION they are GER
tainy entitled to much credit for it, and l cheer
fully accord il to them.
A. J. FLErcbER.
Mr. Fletcher is mistaken in supposing
that it was announced that the Union
and american was revived by its former
proprietors The old firm sold out and
in the new, one of the old became part
purchaser, and these facts were stated and
kept standing for several weeks in the
paper. The files Of the paper show that
Col Torbett sold his interest and ceased
his connection with the Union and
American in May, 1858, since when we
are not aware that he has been connected
with the press. These are matters i'm
material, and we only refer to them to
show how careless the Secretary Of State
is in his attempts to obtain facts, and
how oblivious to accuracy he is in making
his written and printed assertions. We
have no doubt that in higher and grayer
matters he is given to the same loose and
incautious mode of investigation and
statement and this fact should put the
public on their guard against receiving
anything be may offer without careful
revision or external confirmation.
The Secretary could not forbear in his
disorderly retreat, to lot fly Parthian
arrow at us in the closing sentence ofthe
above card In virtually charging this
paper with pursuing career Of sedition
and treason he is guilty Of a malicious
attempt to do us foul wrong We defy
him to adduce a single scintilla Of proof
20 sustain it lie knows that there has
not a single sentiment of hostility to the
government found expression in these
columns from the revival of the Union
and american to the present IL it be
the desire Of the Secretary of State to
convey to us a covert threat of pending
prosecutions for sedition and treason
we defy him or if he expects to deter
the conductors of this joarnal from
fearless and faithful exposure of the
crimes Of BrownlowisTa and the fatal

CHEF JUsTICE CHASE in his address on
opening the United States Circuit Court
at Raleigh, and Attorney General STAN
berry in his official opinion regarding the
construction Of the military reconstruct
ton act, concur in declaring that the
military authorities in the Southern
States are adjuvant only, and subordinate
to the civil authorities. These men are
the highest legal expounders in the ma
ton. One is a Radical and the other
Conservative They have examined the
law and made the same Interpretation of
its intent and purport Notwithstanding,
the Generals in command, Sheridan,

General Sheridaus reasons for the removal OF
Abel, Monroe and Heron were communicates 81

I'm recommended the removal OF NoNOrnof

General Grant replied that the authority of the
States was doubtful, and no steps IN that dIrec-
tion should be taken until the opinion Of the
Attorney General could be obtained.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON
TAXES.

1t is very natural that the Secretary of
State, when he finds himself completely
cornered, should bubble 1t is failing
some men exhibit when their 5elfconf-
dence leads them into the position he now
occupies. He has been guilty of the in
discretion of printing a speech, in which
he championed the most tyrannical and
extrayagant administration any State in
this Union has ever had OF piece
with his assertions in that speech, he now
claims that the revenue derived from
privileges is a part of the tax imposed
upon the people. No man in the State
knows better than the Secretary that taxes
are imposed upon and collected from the
polls and property of the people of the
State, and the reports of the various
Comptrollers shows no fact more distinct
" than this The tax on privileges is quite
a different matter, and may yield little or
much, according to the inclination of the
people, but the tax on polls and property
is a fixed fact Col Baxter followed inn
memorial usage when ne took this basis
for a comparison of the taxes before and
since the war. Col S. X. n. Patton, the
Radical representative from Washing
ton county in the late Legislature, in a
circular to his constituents, issued about
the lst of April, a full month before Col.
Baxter made his speech, showed the in
crease in the taxes imposed upon the
people-upon property and polls, not

Here is Radical testimony as to the
correctness of Col Bakers charge, and
the Secretary of State cannot retreat
from his awkward denial, while whining
about the tax on privileges.

This is not the first time the like at

In the Supreme Court of the Uni

tied that the United States notes of
the precise number Of dollars con-
tracted to be paid for in gold will
settle debt incurred before. the sus-
pension Of specie paymentsin Janu-
ary, 1861. The suit Of Thompson
against Riggs, just decided at Wash
ington, was to recorer coin .depps
it. The defendant was discharged
upon the layment ofan equal amount
in Treasury notes. A special con-
tract to repay in gold was not proved
in the case before the Court, although
it was assumed that such was the GUS
tom when gold deposits were made.
