THE BUREAU REPORT OF THE
FRANKLIN RIOT.
From the Franklin Review, July IS

.
The UNION AND DIsPATCH publishes
the report Of Gen. Carlin to Gen. Howard,
Of the circumstances attending the riot at
this place on the 9th inst That paper
remarks that 1t is very evident Gen.
Carlin did not have all the facts before
him. or did not wish 10 state them" He
does not state what is the TACT, that the
leaguers themselves had prevailed upon
Joe Williams TO return to the courthouse
and make them a speech. He does not
state what effort was made on the part Of
some Of the leaguers themselves to induce
a quiet hearing of Williams speech. He
does not state that Bliss, for his gross insult
when demonstrated with, had his jaws
boxed by Col. House, and rushed into the
midst of the leaguers to incite them TO fall
upon and murder Col. House He fails 10
give the further fact that the leaders of the
league, knowing COL House TO be peace
able man, and a friend to the colored peo-
pie generally, at FIRST spuned the cowardly
incendiary, but that Bliss and his bloody
minded co-Eorkers finally overcame the
wholesome advice of Elliot, and induced
the league te procure additional arms and
and return 10 the Public
Square in battle array. Failing 10 obtain,
or refusing to give these facts the authors
report does great injustice to the people Of
Franklin.
Aud further. In the report il is stated
that at a meeting some days previous 10 the

rent unwillingness that our citizens shall
have fair play. The fact is the meeting

seryative candidate for Floater, who ex>
tended to Mr.. Bean, his opponent, the
courtesy Of an invitation 10 be present.
Mr.. Bean accepted the invitation and made
his appearance early in the morning, ac-
companied BY his armed league from Co
lumbia, who paraded our streets during the
early part of the day, displaying their BAN
ners and cheering Bean Justify. When
the hour for speaking arrived, o'clock,
the request of Mr.. F. was made known to
the leaguers by the Sheriff, that is that the
banners should not be brought into the
court room. After some little hesitancy
the request was needed. The exercises of
that day closed peaceably.
The people of our town are willing 10
stake their all upon a fair, full and thor
ough investigation of the unfortunate affair.
After waiting several days for the grand
Jury to take the matter-in hand, interested
parties, becoming impatient, determined to
compel an investigation, and would have
done so had not the grand jury been so
suddenly discharged.

THE PRFSIDENT,S MESSAGE

This paper deserves a careful reading.
IL is a thorough exposition Of the ques.
ton of eeonstruction-the name in
vented by the reckless and proAigate
Radical Congress to cloak their villainy.
The President frankly confesses himself
as powerless except to protest His
messages and vetoes, commencing with
that Of December, 1865, will serve to note
the stages of our decline and fall as a
free people 1t is useless to disguise the
fact that we are still descending in the
scale. When the highest court in the
land is condemned and derided, and the
Chief Executive is insulted and
manaeled, the Congress is virtually the
government, and the liberties of the
American people have lapsed into the
hands of that body which has constituted
itself committee of public safety
which means that it is a conelave of
political scoundrels We use the epithet
after deliberdtion The leaders of the
Radical party in the American Congress
are the worst men who have figured in
the nineteenth century-by far the worst.
They are pushing matters to an extremi-
IT, When they reach it, the people win
take their interest in their own hands
perhaps not before In the language of
the President, that is the only power that
can break the rod ofthe despotism which
rules us. We have perfect confidence
that it viii do so, and trust that events
will hasten the oonsummation.

THE GRAND ARMY" AND THE
LEAGUES - IMPORTANT AND
STARTLING EXPOSURES.

We give, this morning, a copy Of the
constitution or ritual Of the organization
knownas the Loyal League Of America. Z"
Ii is taken from the printed copy, such as
is used in the Councils, and is authentic.
Ii lays bare the interior workings of a
Council, and shows that the organization
is nothing more than a political society
introducing such emblems of purity as
the Bible, and such doctrines as the De
clarahon Of Independence and the con-
stitution contain, as a cloak upon the de-
sign to mislead and betray, and to fasten
upon the American people the foulest
despotism that ever existed on the con
tinent
The letter which we also print, disc
closing the organization and objects Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic bears
intrinsic evidence that it proceeds from
source entitled to credit The writer
withholds his name and residence, and
furnishes therefor, what to most people
viii appear as good and sufficient
reason This shows some OF The vicious
fruits which the order is bearing in this
city From Other sources, we have heard
it darby limited that the preparations
which the writer exposes, were being
made for the accomplishment Of the re-
suits stated They are startling, and
display an amount Of deliberate ferocity
aud demonism, that We can scarcely be-
lieve TO exist in any community Of civil>
ICED people But the evidence is so
positive that we cannot withhold it from
the public that is so vitality concerned
and present il for their own considera-
ton and reflection.
Throush the light Of these disclosures
the people Of Tennessee cannot fail to
discover the peril that menaces their lib
critics. Il bshooves them toact promptly
and decisively in this matter, and to
withhold their votes from every man
who has taken upon himself the VOWS Of
this monstrous iniquity. We do not
oyerestimate the danger TO our institu-
tons from this politico-military associa-
ton IL has already awakened the
anxiety Of men who love their country
and desire peace. Tennesseeans cannot

Gerrit smith and the Chicago Tri-
bHne.


CHICAGO, July 20.-The great suit Of
Gerritt Smith against the Chicago Tribune
for libel, laying his damages at $4,000,
was settled to-day, after formal interview
between Mr.. Smith and the proprietors.
Smith charges that the Tribune accused
BIN of feigning insanity, and takings efuge
in an asylum to avert the consequences of
his completely in the John Brown raid.
This intimation the Tribune has, upon
the strength of dispositions from medical
men as TO Smiths real insanity, retraeted.
They admit that Smith was nearly insane !;
and that he knew nothing of John Browns
intended raid into Virginia, and that he
loved and admired Brown for his principles
and courage This statement will be pub
hshed by the Tribune tomorrow, and the
suit dismissed.

The ANDERSON PRIsoNERs.-Wo clip tho follow

Some further facts have recently como 10 lieht
respecting Secretary Stantons connection with the
case OF tho four South CerolinianB found guilty by
o Military Commission Of tho murder Of three
Mime soldiers in October, 1865. It appears that
tho sentence OF two Of them was con,muted by
General Scklos; that Secretary Stanton. in Wow Of
tho opinion held BY the Supreme Court relative to
the legality OF military trials since tho cloao Of
hostilities, recommended tho Communication Of tho
death sentence. Tho other two, who he says ho
believes woro tho murdcrers, wero properly tried
hofore military tribunal justly convicted but Il
did not seem to him proper to recommend their
execution, in view of tho opinion which he know
was held by tho Supreme Court. Ho recommend
cd the confinement Of the prisoners at the Tortu-
gas, but nfterward changed tho recommendation
TO Fort Delaware. Ho consulted no ono but Con-
erai Townsend as to tho proper place Of impriHon-
ment, and recommended Fort Delaware because
he thought it on tho whole the best Of the military
prisons for that purpose. He mover for moment
anticipated that the civil courts would Interfere
with thom there.
When tho writ Of hqoeas corpus was issued, ho
instructed tho offeer TO mako the proper returns
and decline to deliver up tho prisoners. Ho does
not state what ordors il any, were sent to the Of
hccrs by tho Attorney Gonoral nt tho instance Of
the President nor docs he say anything about tho
influence brought to bear upon tho President to
secure the removal Of tho prisoners from the Tor
