RADICAL SQUANDERING.
now the Peoples Money Goes.

From the Knoxville Free Press, July IL.
The People have been robbed in more
| ways than they are aware of. Not long
| ago the Senate was re-eonYened as high
court of impeachment to try Judge Fra
zier, criminal Judge at Nashville, for an
= honest discharge of official duty. They
impeached him, of course. That's what
| they met for. They cared nothing about
the law or the testimony. Not they. The
| interest of the Radical party was the only
thing that disturbed their pious souls. The
first interest of that party was 10 try to dis
grace an honest man, and the next was to
steal the peoples money to pay themselves
for doing the dirty work. Both these in
terests were faithfully attended to. The
constitution, to support which they had all
taken their solemn oaths and called upon
Almighty God to witness their due obsery-
anee of the same, declares that the pay of
the members of the Legislature shall not
be increased for the members Of the same
Legislature by which the increase is made.
The law provides that members of the
Legislature shall receive four dollars per
day for their services. The members of
the late Legislature were sworn not to
increase this rate of pay for themselves.
But what did this neutrality-suspicious. SEN
ate-this high court of good conscience
do? They voted themselves six dollars
per day, and not emily this, they were I'M
willing to accept greenbacks in payment
for their sublime and patriotic services.
No, they voted themselves six dollars per
day in gold at the rate of 40 per cent. pre-
MUM, making in all the sum of eight dol
lars and forty cents per day for each men,
Der, besides mileage at the same rate. They
voted to take from the people eight dollars
and forty cents per day, whereas they had
each sworn to take only four dollars per
day. United States treasury notes, com.
monty called "greenbacks,' are made a
legal tender by act of Congress. The courts
of the country have sustained the law.
The common farmer is compelled to take
greenbacks in payment for his bacon, his
corn, his pork, his wheat. The market
woman is forced to take greenbacks land
she is generally glad to get them) for her
butter, eggs and other things that she brings
to market. Yet these patriotic and con-
scientious gentlemen repudiated the national
currency. Below We give statement of
the amount paid to this Radical Senate, or
rather a statement of what they voted to
themselves:

CLERKS, ETC.


Being the amount stolen from the people.
Now, we ask the honest people of the
country, who have their taxes to pay, ifthey
are ready to endorse and pay for such
roguery2 Have the common people be-
come so much demoralized that they can
sanction such villainy? We think not.
The people need the facts to be told to
them. Here, in one case alone, they are
robbed of more than tlOenty thousand dollars.
1t is but just to the Comptroller to say
that he refused to Pay or issue his warrant
for the So 40 per day. This was little
too steep for him. But they did get their
pay at the rate of Sc per day. Can an
honest people sanction such public corrup-
ton? All this rascality is perpetrated in
the name of loyalty" If this is loyalty,
the boys who fled the country to fight for
their government, we're sadly deceived
They didn't leave their homes to give
psace-warriors AN opportunity to plumber
them. Some of these men have the audaci-
tY to present themselves as candidates for
reelection. We doubt not the people every
where will administer the proper rebuke.
We omitted to state that the Senate was
in active session only thirty-fve days,
whereas the members have taken pay at
their own enormous rates, for eighty-six
days. When rascality is so abundant, we
are apt to omit some of the details.

ed, with no better foundation for veracily.
The people here were astounded to learn
that Gov. Harris was again in the contest
for Governor, and that the school fund which
be boxed up so carefully in gold for the
BrownIow administration, was tormenting
the poor Secretary's wits to account of its
sudden disappearance after it came into
Radical possession. The people could not
see how Emerson Etheridge was connected
with any of Harris acts, and the Secretary
failed 70 cipher it out in his Office before he
commenced the campaign. Hence the in
ference was left that Harris was again
stamping it for Governor, and that A. j.
was trying mighty hard to demolish him.
Is this a fact, Messrs. Editors, and have
the Rebels really held caucus and put the
Ex-Governor on the track? If not, why
does A. J. lug him forward in a canvass
against Etheridge, when the two, Ether
idge and Harris, are as wide apart as the
poles2
/ regret to inform you that the Conserve
tiVes have no candidate in the field for the
Legislature In this county, bat it is whis-
peFed that possibly one viii be brought out
yet The Radical nonines, j T. McNair,
could very easily be beaten in this county
By the present registered voters, and / trust
that a suitable man will announce himself
in time. The contest for Governor. on the
other hand, will be very close. Many of
the voters, especially among the colored
people, will not vote for either. But it will
be different for the Legislature, if proper
men are put forward for the Senate and
House.
The registration closed in this county on
the 18th, and the Commissioner has retired
10 his scltlt-boae home, after having spent
ten whole days and a half ia the duties of
his Office at the county seat. Many have
been cut off and will be deprived of their
right to vote, unless the Commissioner will
open his office again during the next week,
when the Circuit Court will be in session.

FILLIBUsTERING EXHIBITIONS TO
MEXICO.

There seems TO be no doubt that secret
organizations have been formed in this
country 10 plan expeditions from New
York and New Orleans 10 Mexico, with the
ostensible object u seeking revenge for the
execution Of Macmillan by Juarez. The
information from New Orleans is not very
definite, but the New York papers contain
a great many particulars of the organiza-
ton in that city. The Herald says the fill
clustering corps has taken the name OF
"Maximilian's Avengers" and that during
the past week regular meetings have been
held BY the sympathizers of Macmillan at
a certain hotel up Town IN Broadway,
which has hitherto borne the reputation Of
being devoted 10 the Southern party. Here
ell the arrangements of the exPeditionaTy
force, which IS mostly composed Of men
who served in the late Confederate army,
hsve been maturing; and il is believed
that in a few days, ct most, the corps will
poi out Whether they propose going by
sea and landing at Vera Cruz or Mata-
norss. or crossing the Rio Grande, is not
vet known. although il is doubtless al
ready determined by the leaders. The
Express says: THE names of the parties
who are 70 furnish the money for these ex-
peditions have not yet transpired, but It Is
| reported that the funds are TO come through
| French and Austrian channels. 1t Is not
1 deemed likely, however, that any such ex-
! peditions will be permitted TO leave the
| ports from which they are intended to sail

NEW York, July l9.-The Herald's

brother of the historian, has preached a
proposition to leading members of Con-
gress, tor the annexation of Mexico, which
be intimates meets with the appreciation of
Juarez and the chiefs of the Mexican Re-
publican party, the latter fear another for
eign intervention on account Of Maximils
ians execution, or continuation of the in
testine strife, and are satisfied with the an
nexation, provided they themselves can be
secured in some good government, where
peace can be secured. Mr.. Abbotts propo-
sitions were read with some hesitation by
Sumner and Banks, but with much favor
by Howard, Cole, Chandler and Others.
