C Nashville, Tenn. is good deal ex-
cited in consequence Of the threat of the
rebels to nullify the Franchise Law at the
municipal election next Saturday, the 2Sth.
They have invoked the aid of Andrew
johnson in their nefarious designs Gen.
Cooper, in command of the State militia,
says the Franchise Law shall be enforced,
and every colored voter allowed to deposit
his ballot. 3sHo ,ia8e3 esoI Isl serg5}c.
o The presumption of Mayor Brown
and the Nashville Aldermen in appointing
judges and clerks for the approaching mu-
nicipal election, has called out from Gov.
Brownlow proclamation that only the
Commissioner of Registration (appointed
by the Governor) is authorized to name the
those officers, under the franchise law, and
that " elections held in violation Of said
law are null and VOID, and of no effect
whatever" tos5..r s..i .i 5s.iisoi .,,4als7q
GY The "Grand Democratic meeting"
called at Blaeensburg, Maryland, on Sat
urday, the 21st, was q grand fizzle.n The
whole number present did not exceed three
hundred, and about fifty of whom went
from Washington. Reverdy johnson,
Governor Swami, Jerry Black, and several
other big guns who were promised, did
not appear. Montgomery Blair did the
heavy speaking. Resolutions were passed
! praising the President for removing STAN
ton, Sheridan and Sickles, and for issuing
the Amnesty Proclamation. 1ooST
eY- Senator Patterson, the Presidents
| son-in-law, came down town from the
White House the 23d inst, and, under the
influence of the strong tea he had for break
fast, began q heated political conversation
| with General Kyle, Of Tennessee, and to
make it emphatic slapped the General a
couple of times in the face, whereupon the
latter knocked the Senator down and left
| him with the remark that he didn't want
| to hurt him, for he knew he was drunk.
The Senator picked himself up and started
off on his winding way. w
"a General Beauregard writes a letter
to the Baltimore Gazette, in which he says:
being still an outlaw in my ownnative
country, l do not feel called upon to up
| hold its Government, especially at this
| time when the country is divided in opin-
| ion as to whether Congress or the Execu
| tive constitutes the Government but am
| free to state that unless the Conservative
| element of the nation soon awakens to the
| dangers which threaten the liberties of the
| country, l confidentially believe that it's
| form of government will ere long be
changed to military despotism, after pc
Rod OF anarchy more or less prolonged"
eY The Republicans of Cincinnati and
Hamilton county, Ohio, had a grand mass
meeting on Saturday, the 21st. Speeches
were made by Senators Wade, Sherman
and Thayer. Mr.. Thayer, in his speech,
made some revelations which will be apt
to arouse the people of this country tc the
sense of danger which surrounds them.
| He said he had just left Washington.
While there he took special pains to inform
himself in regard to the present purposes
| of Andrew johnson, and he was ready to
declare upon his responsibility as a Sena-
tor, that to-day Andrew Johnson meditates
and designs forcible resistance to the au-
thority Of Congress.
g According to a correspondent Of
the Charleston Courier, there was con-
ference of Democratic leaders at Washing
ton in July, at which it was agreed that
the fall campaign should be fought on
negative platform, by the exposure OF the
corruptions and knaveries of the Republi-
cans, and that General Grant should be
the candidate for President. They sent
committee to Grant, who heard them,
thanked them, and said nothing more.
The correspondent naively admits that
General Grant has essentially spoiled the
programme, and will not now do for
Democratic candidate, and there is nothing
left but for fight for the negatives. .'ll
gY The Washington correspondent Of
the London Morning Herald says that, ut
is well known here that Mr.. Stewards
friendship for Mr.. Stanton is founded upon
fear Mr.. Stanton possesses some secrets
that Mr.. Seward would not, for the world,
have made known. If Mr.. Stanton would,
he might give to the public startling sto-
ry of "inside events,p in which Mr.. Sew
ard has played prominent and not very
creditable part. There is chapter of the
Mexican history with which Mr.. Stanton
is familiar, and if this were known to the
world, it is probable that some people who
have heretofore defended Mr.. Seward,
would be compelled to adopt another
course" 80
~ The Washington ChTonscle makes
the remarkable statement that letters have
been received from the South, showing
that the ex-rebels of that section, including
certain newspaper editors, expect q renew
al of the late civil war on the re-asseIlbling
Of Congress. The writers argue that the
