Attacks on Horace Maynard.

The Rebel party seek 10 make personal Issues u
every important race in the State, By getting W
old issues the people care nothing about Inis =
done 20 avoid the true and only issue before Inc
country which is loyalty and disloyalty are you
a Union man or Rebel is the question. This
IN. candidates Of the rebel party dodge. Their at
tacks upon Maynard are made with view 10 con
oeaI the fact that John Williams is the candidate Of
the rebel party, and at the instance OF hnarei0
johnson.
On the frs, Thursday Of August, Horace May
nard win beat John Williams by about eight thou
sand majority. rf-.s
The truth is neither Williams or his friends ex-
pect Maynard TO be defeated.
In opposing him the purpose is simply to divide
the Union party and keep up the rebel organiza-
ton for a fut0re contest
So far as dividing the Union party, by running
Williams il is mere bosh. John Williams will not
receive in the entire district one hundred votes
which Ishsm G. Harris would not get. He VIII
get the vote Of the Rebel CopPerhesd party and
nothing more. He will get the vote Of that class
of men who endorsed him in endorsing the Chca-
20 platform on which Mcclellan ran for the Presi-
dencv. and which demanded an immediate cessa-
ton Of hostilities, offering compromises to armed
traitors and declaring the war for the Union A
FAILURE.
Williams viii get the votes OF thatclsss Of men
who endorsed him in opposing the reelection OF
Abraham Lincoln and denouncing him as usur-
per and tyrant, Erffe-p r.
The people Of this Congressional District know
Horace Maynard, and have implicit confidence in
his integrity and loyalty They also know that be
;s the 6riend of THE PEOPLE That his sympa-
tbies are with the poor men, the mechanics and day
laborers Of the country.

Candidates Withdrawn.

In the Fourth Senatorial District J. G. Palmer
of Union oenaty, is the rebel candidate for State
Senator. Ee has been opposed By Dewitt Q. SEN
ter, nominee of The Radical party and Reuben
Rogers Independent Radical candidate. On FRI
day last Col Rogers withdrew from the race, leav-
ing the track to Senter. Senter will be elected by
severalthousand majority No truer better ma n
than Santer could be elected.
In the Floatorial District Of Anderson alid Camp
bell. T. c. Wallace is the Rebel candidate. IN
til few days since there were four or i've Radical
candidates. All have withdrawn save the recog-
nized candidate of our Radical party, Col. James
A Doughty. The unfinching unselfsh patriot
Doughty, deserves as he will rece i've, the unani-
nous support of the Union party.

Former Certificates Good.

I The rebels are trying to create the I'M
preston that former certificates by Com
missioners are void. The sth section OF the
late Franchise law spikes that gun
Ser. 8. Be It further enacted, That all Ger
ti6cates heretofore issued by Clerks of the
County Courts, under the provisions Of the
Act passed June 8, 1865, are held null and
void, and shall not be used at any future
election in this State Provided, that all
certificates of registration, legally issued by
Commissioners of Registration, by virtue
of the provisions of the Act passed May 3,

AN official order Of the Mexican Government
addressed to Escobedo throws considerable light on
the probable disposition of the Imperialist priso-

Mexican law the eaptives are all deserving of

All the Generals of brigades, and three specially
obnoxious Colonies, viii be tried by court martial

eluded all the officers who have been prominent in
enforcing Msximians cruel act for the execution
of Liberal prisoners guerrillas. Under stif an
other Indictment are classeG Maximian's Minister
Aguirre the project Of Qneretaro, and the Commits
sary Of the Imperial army. The names Of the last
would indicate that they are renegade Mezicans-
AL the other prisoners are TO be spared the penalty
Of death. Colonies are TO be Imprisoned six years;
Lieutenant Colonies five, commanders four and
Captains two years. Lieutenants and Sub-Lieu-
tenants Of Mexican birth viii not be imprisoned II
they behave well, but simply be subjected for two
years to the vigilance Of the authorities of the
place in which they choose TO reside. Officers Of
the same grade Of foreign birth may remain priso
ners for two years or receive passports to cult the
country. The same treatment is extended to the
civil employees Of MACMILLAN The rank and file

Mayuard and Sons.

Col Williams denounces Maynard and
bis two sons for sllulking from danger du-
ring the siege of Knoxville Maynard
two sons were in the Federal service, and
the elder son, a Lieutenant Colonel, fought
through the war; but the sons OF Col WI
liams remained at home. They could not
well fight against the rebel army, for their
relatives were all on that side. You protect
us and we viii project you Who played
this game? The people understand it well,
and their votes will show that they under
stand IT.

Maynard and EtherIdge.

As usual, Etheridge refused to divide time
with Maynard at Sevierville and cambridge,
on the ground that the latter was a id
rascal The result was, that the people di-
vidcd, aud the voters, five TO one, went with
Maynard, and the DISTINGUISHED rebels
locked to the standard Of the Washington
CITY gambler The rebels are welcome to
all the votes that Etheridge and Williams
can make by their coarse abuse of Maynard
and his sons And if d-d rascal can
beat Williams ten thousand votes in this
district, what could an accomplished gen.
tleman do?

Negro Disfranchisement.

The Ethefidge organs are already claiming the
power to disfranchise the negroes The Memphis
Appeal asks
But how does it follow that, because the negro is

we therefore denude ourselves of all power hereaf-

Who Is He2 Cd

In that famous harangue," in front of the La
mar House, on Thursday night John Williams de-
voted portion of his time, in q6setOHqte Style,
for HIM in addressing the "aiggers."
He frankly told them he had opposed their emsn-
cpaton and freedom, and gave as his reason for so
doing that be "owned 8 good many of them" and
says he, When you strike into mans pocket,
sou hit his principles"
Wonder IL this Is the same honest John Will
liams' the Free Pres man is parading before this
community as The peoples man, and the one so
well fitted 70 represent them in the United States
Congress

That arch traitor, B. Frazier, has been telling That
the Governor once prosecuted man in the Knox

him guilty, and recently turned round and commits

not one word of truth in the whole statement, and

The N. Y. Tribune on the Franklin
dat


The Tribune, always inclined TO deal tenderly
with the reconstructed, makes the following com
ments upon the Franklin riot: ---ssl
We do not justify or excuse the Unionists when
they do wrong but it is very clear that the nassa-
ere at Franklin last Saturday was Of CONSERVE
tive" or rebel origin. Look ut the facts. Frank
lin is the shire town of Williamson county, which
gave in June, 1861 an aggregate vote Of l,949 for
secession to 2S against it. 1t is of course "Con-
sentative stronghold, far its whites are con-
cerned. ~
But il is a very fertile county, and had large
slave population-l2 367 slaves to II 460 free per-
sons in 1850 Being in the Nashville Congress dis
triet John TTimbe, the Radical candidate for Con-
gress, held meeting at Franklin, along with the
Radical candidates for the Legislature. The ne
groes were of course on hand 1t is said that many
Of them we're armed; it is very certain that they.
needed to be, 1t is not pretended, even by the
Conservative bulletin, that theu used their arms
till attacked, nor is any provocation for firing on
them asserted. ~
The Tribune copies the Radical and the Conser-
vative version of the riot, and says
We defy any fair man 10 compare those two ac-
counts and say that the Conservatives were not wan
ton and unprovoked aggressOrs. The.meeting was
aone Of theirs-they had free choice 10 stay away
or attend and behave themselves. They did neither
but attacked the Radicals murderously and without
excuse.

IL according to John Williams opinion, as gath
cred from his wandering and frantic remarks, rade
last Thursday night in front of the Lamar House,
Horace, alias zadok Maynard, is despicable liar,
unprincipled coward, mean scatapag, and 10 gen.
teman, what estimate win he place on himself
about The I'd day of August, whsD this same zadok
Monstrosity has beaten him in 8 fair contest be-
fore the people, some 5000 or 5000 votes
Perhaps his friend Of the Free Press has by this
time collected enough Of himself to answer for him.
Come, John, up to the work, and don't allow
yourself to be hora-sHoggLed off-nary--
This is a free country. Every man ought to have
the right to speak-when he can.
