the cause of loyalty and freedom in their sister
State Of Ohio.
Arriving here ten days ago from East Tennessee,
found the Republican campaign just opening It
is now fairly under way and is being pushed with
great vigor on the part of either party The Re

Richard Smith, the able and efficient editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette, has been nominated
Gen. John c. Lee of Columbus, Is tbs Republican
nominee for Lieutenant Governor
The Democratic Gubernatorial nominee is Judge
Allen G. Thurman, Copperhead of the worst class,
who distinguished himself during the war BY his
bitter opposition to the efforts Of the Government to
repress the rebellion, his attentions to rebel prison

A Little Rebellion.

NJ arc NOT little surprised at the au-
..s;.,- n Matt Browns rebol municipal
hosrd of Nashville in appointing Judges and
Clerks Oftbe approaching Charter elections.
IF thew suppose, as their conduct would in
dicste. that the Executive of the State will
submit to this usurpation, they are either
bigger fools than we could have imagined
them to be, or they are more reckless in
their treason than could reasonably be ex-
pected under the circumstances
Nc provision Of the Franchise law is
clearer than that giving to the Commits
sioners of Registration the power to appoint
Judges and Clerks Of ALL elections. These
Commissioners have as much authority to
appoint the Judges and Clerks Of NUM-
cipal election as Of any other election, and
Gov Brownlow says he will teach these Sc
ditionists that this provision of the Amend
ed Constitution shall be enforced. Gen. 10.
Cooper is now in Baltimore, but he will re-
turn to Nashville in a few days, and with
the militia Of necessary to resort to force)
he will squeIch this incipient rebellion in
Nashville.

Judicial Appointment.

Governor Brownlow has appointed Tim. H. Will
liams, Of Smith eouI,ty, Attorney General Of the
Sixth Judicial Circuit. Tim. is a fne lawyer and
advocate For eight years. before the war, he filed
this Office, and will mske "a excellent Attorney
General. BE is thorough Radical. and did good
service on the stump during the late canvass.
Mr. Williams lie a cousin Of Constitutional
john, of this county, but politically is as different
from him as day is from night. Constitutional
John has strayed after strange gods and dug his
political grave while his relative is orthodox in
politics and religion and has bright future before
him as the reward of merit and unhnching legalty.
The contrast SHOULD be warning 10 the young
men Of Tennessee Poor Constitutional John Z"
Let him sleep in peace.

Caution.

Frequent complaints have recently reached us
from responsible persons in various parts Of the
country Of which the following, from a gentleman
in Kentucky, is specimen, viz: "Ths. one Of the
rooms in the Bible House is rented to a quack doc
tor, or a doctor vino sends out bis circulars, which
calculated to deceive or impose upon the people,
as coming from the Bible House IN New York
Many suppose that they are thus sanctioned by the
Bible House From other sources we learn that
the room referred to is "No. IL Bible House"
We reply, that no room in the Bible House is
rented 70 any such person. No 10 Bible House
occupied exclusively by the United States Govern
ment, as STATION d. Branch Of the New York
Post Office. We cannot prevent any matter going
through the Post Office. The circulars referred to
above, as we have reason to believe are issued by
person whose real Office is in another part Of the
city, and who by this subterfuge thus attempts
with too much success to deceive foolish people and
get their money for his own profit and the ruin Of

The example set by Tennessee in her recent cleo
ton il very gratifying and encouraging to Union
men at the North was pleased 60 find that the
persistent and outrageous misrepresentation OF
some newspaper correspondents wandering through
the South and listening for few days to whatever
stuff DISTINGUISHED rebels might pour into their ears
had not produced any considerable effect on the
loyal people Of the North They look on our cleo
ton in its true light and consider it magnificent
triumph of freedom, loyalty and progress, and ono
which canns fail to have the happiest effect on the
future welfare and progress of Tennessee
The prompt and fearless action OF the state IN
extending the ballot-box to all loyal men, without
distinction of color and the discreet intelligent and
praseworthy conduct Of our -enfranchsed col
ored citizens will do much to demonstrate the
staunch and reliable loyalty of Tennessee loyalty
already so well indicated on the battlefield.

of Ohio in the present contest embraces declars-
ton of admiration for, and confidence in, the gal
liant Phil Sheridan, and condemns strongly bis re-

The Election in Maine.

Since our last publication, we have re-
oeived the returns of the election in the
once strong Democratic State of Maine
The Conservatives profess to draw a vast
deal of comfort and consolation from this
election, and profess 70 receive il as an au-
curry Of the success of " a. Us" policy
We are not able to see it in this light Per-
haps it is because of our prejudice, but we
ask the reader to behold the figures. The
returns from Maine show the following fig-
ures from two hundred and sixty-eight cities
and towns, compared with the same places

The effect of this upon the money market has been
neutralized by reduction in the Treasury curren-

the volume of currency has been reduced, in one
month, over $ls,oOOOOO. The Secretary does not

Are the BLACKS Diving out?
JOHN D. LARRABEE, Clerk.

The Houston Telegraph (Texss), commenting on
the returns from the registration Of voters in the
Southwest says;
The result will put an end to the opinion gener-
ally prevalent throughout the country that the ne
gro population has been largely reduced through
the war In 1860, the blacks of Louisiana were
35O,373; which, estimating that tnsrs is one voter
to every five of population, would yield q crop of
1904 voters The returns Of the registration just
completed show the negro voters now to be s2e07,
or about 900 more than there would hare been
in 1860 had negroes then been entitled to vote So
far therefore, from the blacks of Louisiana having
diminished during the eventful period of the war;
they must have increased by something like 100000
1t will be recollected that it was in this State
that heavy decrease of blacks was expected to be
shown. Even Gen. Banks at the close of the war
in an official communication to the Government,
stated that it had fallen off at least ons-fourth.
q The same thing is shown by the registration re-
turns in Alabama where the negroes appear to have
considerably swelled their numbers since 1860"
We believe it will be found that the blacks like
the whites, rather more than held their Own during
the war, in spite of very serious losses in field and
camp mainly to the latter. Many slaves who ran
away from the plantations to find protection under
the Federal flag in New Orleans, Nashville, Men,
pills. Washington &c, budding il rude novels
which they overerowded, suffering every privation
and tempted by every vice. fell sick and died and
their DEATHS occurring in the most thronged loeali-
ties, and confined to particular classes, were msta-
kenly supposed to evidence a general mortality of
negroes The blacks probably lost by the war fewer
in proportion of their numbers than the whites but
the latter gained at least million by immigration,
while the latter gained nothing from that source
We Judge, therefore, that the blacks of our whole
country were just about one TO seven whites alike
at the beginning and at the close of the war Owing
to immigration, we predict that they will be less
shan an eighth in 1870 and good deal less in 1900
If immigration should average 1000 per day
throughout it has since the close of the war, the
United States should have one hundred millions of
Inhabitants in 1900, whereof the blacks can hardly
hzceed ten millions and likely to fall below that
number.
In the Southwest nearly every black who could
.sgster has done soi and, as the ages of many Of
ss'siH are not accurately known, we presume some
save registered who are not yet twenty-one. But
he old slave States-Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, |
ihe Carolinas kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri |
have probably lost blacks to the Gulf States so
hat returns from the latter do not fairly indicate
heir numbers generslly.-N Y. Tribune.

The Public Debt.

We herewith present a comparative exhibit of the
public debt as it stood on the LIST of September
1867. From this it will be seen there has been a
large increase of the debt bearing coin interest and
heavy reduction in the debt bearing currency in
terest The debt bearing no interest has also been
reduced over seven millions, if we except the ma
tured debt not presented for payment. The con-
traction Of the currency during the month was de-
eidedly sharp. The figures compare as follows:
