In speech delivered at Chattanooga
on the night Of the 9th inst, Col John
H. James, lately member Of Governor
Brownlows staff, propOunded the follow
ing:
"Brownlow has done nothing for the
people. want to ask him if he will al
low me to publish in the journals of Ten
nessee all confidential communications to
any parties in regard to the assistance he
would have given to the Southern Confed-
eracy, and / want him to answer YES or
NO. in his paper.
Did not VIM. q. Br0wnlow write letter
to the Rebel General Polk, promising to
aid the rebellion as soon as he could do so
with decency?
Did he not write letters OF a similar
purport to Robertson Topp, of Shelbycoun-
ty, and to the late Jeptha Fowlkes?
VIII he answer these questions, and will
he authorize the persons having the letters
to publish them, if they are in existence

permission, the letters win show how be
stood If he doesn't, then his refusal
will establish the charge

TIE COUNTY COURT QUESTION.

The Press and Times a few days since
referred to the exposition Of the duties Of
the County Courts in regard to the APP
pointment Of election officers, made by
Judge Gaut Of the Central Committee, as
sophistry." 1t has been time and again
shown that the 10th section of the franz
chise law did not repeal the section Of the
Code authorizing and making it the duty
Of the County Courts 10 appoint these
officers Ii needs no argument to make
it plain that the letter of the law only
conferred this power upon the Registra>
ton Commissioners in the event ct the
failure or neglect of the duty by the
courts. In other words, the sections of
the Code SAL and s42 are unrepealed ex-
cept by the substitution of the Commits
sioners for Sherifs
The Cincinnati Gazette, paper swift
to uphold every species Of Radical ras-
cality and very ofhcious in Tennessee
matters, essays to defend the proclama-
ton of Brownlow The construction
placed on the law by Judge Gaut and the
Conservatives is so obviously the correct
one, that that willful and malicious per-
veraer is forced to say
The amended franchise law declares
the Commissioner of Registration shall
make the appointments under the same
regulations as those which governed the
sheriff. when, in consequence of the neglect
of the County Court il became his duty to
appoint
This is all the Conservatives contended
for. and is what Brownlow has declared
shall not be the law, and ordered the
militia to arrest men for declaring 1t to
so be This is not "sophistry, 1t is
the threat of the red-handed force Of
military despotism Mr. Brownlow and
Gov Fletcher know that the law as writ
ten does not supersede the power OF the
courts. Doubtless Arnell and the other
concoctors of this law so intended 1t
They purposed to take the whole
conduct of the election out Of the

tive was the proclamation and the Mill

An ExTINGUIsHER.

The Fayetteville Observer of the llth
inst extinguishes one Of the sensation re-
ports put aaoat for electioneering pur-
poses, as follows:
'The Press and Tines Of the 9th says an
effort was made BY Rebel to assassinate
the negro, "Dr. Wood" while speaking at
the courthouse in this place on tbs 4th.
The statement is a tdissaood in its length
and breadth, in detail and in the aggregate.
We have the evidence of leading white
Radical, who says he was in five feet of the
belligerents, and saw the whole affair. He
saws the difficulty was a private matter be-
tween two negroes, and had no reference
whatever, TO the speaker, or the subject
under discussion. Furthermore, not a mill
tiaman was here. The assertion that one
hundred dollars was offered by the Conser-
yatives or any one else, TO shoot the mig
ger speaker" is lie Of DR.. Quinine's own
begetting."

We understand that Judge J. P. Swami
made very decided Radical speech on the
zth at Sevieryille. We had hoped that
Butler, Houk, Patterson and Hurst would
have been left to share between themselves
the degradation of the judiciary. In former
times when Judges were Judges, it would
have been shocking TO the public sense of
propriety, to say nothing of decency, for a
Judge to take part in partisan contest as
champion. Such thing was unheard of in
the times of Hynds, Alexander, Anderson
and Williams. But alas we must turn to
our grave yards, now, for judicial decency
1t has well-nigl, ceased to be living virtue

The Louisville Democrat which is the
organ Of the tertiaua guild organization in
Kentucky, sort of halfway house to
Radicalism, alludes to the peace procla-
nation Of the Mayor of this city, as an
evidence of "the benefit of obeying Sc
cession counsels." 1t is rather an evi
dence of the evils suffered by peaceful
community condemned to live under the
rule of such men as the course of that
paper is giving encouragement to.

ANECDOTE OF MARTIN VAN buren,
Coming down on the upper deck of an Al
bany steamer one day. a party OF gentle
men, as the boat neared kinderhook land
ing, were discussing the merits OF Martin
Van Buren, Some praised, others con-
demned him: and while they We're discus
sing the question, the boat landed and, 10 !,
Mr. Van Buren himself came on board.
One of the party had been dwelling upon
his non-committalism, and complaining that
a plain answer to a plain question was
never vet elected from him.
I'll wager champagne for the COM
panv," added he, = that one of us shall 30
down to the cabin and ask Mr.. Van Buren,
| the simplest question which can be thought
of, and he will evade direct answer. Yes;
and III give him leave, too, to tell Mr..
Van Buren, why he asks the question and
that there Is bet depending on his reply"
/ This seemed fair enough. One Of the
party was deputed to 90 down and try the
experiment. He found Mr. Van Buren,
whom he knew well. in the saloon. and said
1 to him:
- Mr.. Van Buren,. some gentlemen on
I the upper deck have been accusing you of
non-committalism, and have just laid 4
wager that you would not give Il pain
answer to the simplest question, and they
deputed me to test the fact Now, sir, al
low me to ask you: Where does the sun
rise ??
Mr.. Van Buren's brow contracted he
hesitated for a moment and then said:
The terms east and west, sir, are con-
ventional; but I
"That'll do? ?" interrupted the intero-
gator we've lost the bet -
