GEN. KALERGL.

The question has been asked quite
often recently, "who is Gen. Kslergi,
the Greeiau hero5" Phe Atlantic cable
announced that he would come to the
United States 10 procure aid for the Gre
tan insurgJ nts. Ii cOntradicted the
statement within a day or two alter
garis, 50 that we are left uncertain
whether ne viii come or not. il IS prob
able, however, that II he does pot come
be viii take a prominent part ere long
In the contest between the Turk and the
Greek. A sketch of the events which
made him hero will be o.
public interest at this time.
He first became known in the
Greek revolution, ia which he played
Q distinguished part. He was then a
mere youth. y ben the war broke out
he was boy of fifteen, Bnd at school n
Germany. He had two brothers in the
army Of independence. He left his
studies az once, and soon exhibited great
ability az q military leader. At the dis
astrous battle of Phalerum, ia 1871, IN
which the Greeks, commanded by Sir
Richard Church, were defeated by the
Turks, under Reschid Pasha, Kaiergi led
8 division, and was captured at the close
Of the engagement. lie was one Of the
2l0 prisoneis taken, all VI WHOM were
ordered 10 be behesdad next morning.
Kalergi alone escaped. He had been
wounded in the arm BY a sabre cut and had
a leg broken by rifle all. AS he could
not walk TO the place of execution, he
was carried on the back Of the albanian
boy who captured hfn. As he was on
bis way he offered tie Albanian one
hundred thousand piastres labout 5000
ia gOld) for his ransom. Reschid wished
to have kalergi's bead piled up with The
Others. but his Captor insisted on reeeiv-
ing 5000 for it. Luckily for Kaiergi the
condition Of the Turkish military chest
was so low that the ssha could not
afford to pay so high a price TO crafty
his passion, aud as Il g Albanian per
sisted in claiming him as his property,

The Two Pr0clamatIons.

President johnson has recently issued two procIa-
nations. One Of these is bombastic, senseless,
reasonable document, ostensibly commanding obs
denes to the processes and decisions Of the United
States Courts but really it is directed against the
reconstruction measures of Congress and PERSONAL y
against General Grant.
The occasion mot csuse) of this proclamation,
was certain acts of General Sickles in North Caro-
lima, which, whether right not intended for
and did benefit the rebels of that State and South
Carolina, and which were approved by Gen. Grant.
and which would have been approved by the Pres
ident had he not wished pretext to remove an hon
est and able officer, who was carrying out, in good
faith, the acts of Congress. Next week we will
publish the letter of Gen. Sickles to Gen. Grant in
which the dupcity and injustice of the Arch Dem
agogue are thoroughly exposed. The President
cares for nothing but the enforcement of his policy
upon an unwilling people.
The other proclamation is one of Amnesty in
which he pardons all but about one hundred of the
entire rebel population. Both proclamations are
in the interest of treason but the first named is one
step in the direction of evolutionary Sttcnpt to
overthrow the Government his proclamations
are twin cherries on on Q STEM" It seems to us
evident that the execution of the nations will, as
correctly declared through Congress- demands the
impeachment of the low-fung demagogue and vile
traitor

/" Your. Ok and Mine."

The Louisville Journal, the leading rebel news
paper of Kentucky has earnestly protested again
the hanging of JEFF. Davis or "any other man for
treason against the United States 1t has declared
capital punishment repugnant to the civilization of
the age inhuman and unchristian In its issue of
the 10th instant, in an editorial denunciatory of
General Butler and Hon. j. NJ. Ashley, it says:
Would that few cases like that of Haman
could be seen in our day"
An honest but uniformed Conservative, of the
mountains of East Tennessee who at heart is loyal
would infer from reading the above, that Ashley
and Butler were rebels and had made war on the
Government. On the contrary, Butler and Ashley,
whom this Conservative paper wishes to see hung,
have been unfinehing supporters of the Govern
ment. The former was a most efficient officer of
Medical sioresny, and is still loyal man. The lat
the Union aFIus-a member of Congress during the
Yer. Ashley -.ud voted men and money to wage war
against the rebellion.
In the eyes Of the Journal, the crime of Butler
and Ashley consists in being Radical members Of
the present Congress- and opposing the restoration
of traitors TO the control of the Federal and State
Governments. For this the journal wishes them
executed on the gallows, while it opposes the pun
ishment even by imprisonment OF conhscation of
property, Of the arch-traitor JEFF Davis. This is
Conservatism and this the spirit of those calling
themselves Conservatives 81

Border State Convention.

This Convention which assembled on
Thursday last was largely attended by del
egates from Delaware, Missouri, Kentucky
Tennessee, Maryland, and the District Of
Columbia. Our distinguished fellow-citizen
and Representative in Congress, Hon. Hor-
ace Maynard, was elected President Mr..
Maynard made most appropriate and
beautiful speech, just such as would be ex-
pected of learned lawyer, thoroughly in
formed politician and elegant scholar
Tennessee's most distinguished Union
soldier, Joseph A. Cooper, also spoke, and
made n fire speech So also did Hon. r. r.
Butler, member of Congress from Moses
district Speeches were also made by ex-
q. S. Senator Cresswell, of Maryland, and
others. ~es--------
Letters were read, encourass
highest degree, from Sehatar sumhor, e s=
Attorney General Speed, and others of the.
most gifted statesmen Of the country.
Senator Sumner declared it the duty of
Congress to establish equal civil and politi-
cal rights everywhere throughout the
Union.
The resolutions proclaim the duty of
Congress to protect the equal rights of all
American citizens in all the States they
urge Congress to act courageously and
thoroughly for equal rights of all loyal
men; they approve of the course Of Con
gress and Of Mr.. Stanton; call upon Gen.
Grant to execute the reconstruction bill of
Congress urge an amendment to the Con
stituticn prohibiting the DISTINGUISHING of
any citizen, in any State, because of his
race or color; and declare it 10 be the duty
of the House of Representatives to prefer
articles of impeachment against the Presi-
dent.
This is a good platform. Emphatically
it is muitum IN parro. We endorse every
word Of il Next week we will endeavor
to publish the speeches of the Tennesseeans
delivered at this Convention.

the agitation Of the subject of the approaching
Municipal elections 10 como off the ensuing fall end
winter in the several cities and towns of this State
and whereas, controversy has actually arisen in
two OF cities as to who are qualified voters in
such elections and who are the proper authorities
to appoint the Judges and Clerks of said elections
Now, therefore, 1, WILLIAM @. BRowELow, Gov
ernor of the State Of Tennessee in the discharge Of
the duties imposed upon me by Law, do hereby pro-
claim that the Commissioner of Registration under
the Franchise law is the proper person to appoint
the Judges aud Clerks of all elections and that the
qualified voters in all Municipal elections are hose
only who have certificates of registration, and who
are qualified to vote for members Of the Gen ersi
Assembly. The Franchise law is a part and arcel
Of the Constitution-has been sustained by the Su-
prsnle Court Of Ten nessse-snd all elections held
In violation of said law are null and void and of no
effect whatever.
In testimony whereof, / have hereunto set ras
official signature, and caused the Great Seal Of the

The contest for the nomination of Republican
candidate for Congress in one of the Districts Of
Cincinnati, to which We referred several weeks
since, has been decided in favor of Mr.. Richard
Smith. Mr. Smith, for many years, has been
the managing editor of that sterling Republican
p&per, the Cincinnati Gazette. We heartily reioce
at his nomination, will the Republicans of Ten
nessee for they all feel that they have had an able
and heroic friend in the great Western journal with
which Mr. Smith has been identified. The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Smith is equivalent to an election
The Republican majority in his District is so great
it is impossible ne should be defeated. If we are
not mistaken, he win make valuable member of
Congress He is talented and fearless but it is the
quality of fearessness that the nation needs most
There is ample ability in Congress, but deficiency
of courage. There are some towards of the Re-
publican Radical party in both branches of Con-
gress, who ought to be pitched head-foremost into
the Potomac. They are not afraid of Andrew John
son, but they are afraid of his shadow Mr. Rich
ard Smith is not one of that class of men, He viii
march straight forward in the discharge of duty,
and let consequences take care Of themselves This
is the sort of men we need in power. His election
will serve the whole country well reflect honor
upon his District.
