RUREAu POLITICS

The letter of Gen Carlin, Bureau Com
missioner in this city, proposing to sup
port all negroes who leave their emo
ployers and forfeit their contracts this
hot weather, has been struck off in hand
bill form, and generally circulated among
the oolored people. 1t viii probably in
duce many to quit work-perhaps be the
means of reducing the aggregate crop of
the State, and add few votes to the Radi-
cal ticket We know Of nothing that the
Bureau could have suggested more bale
ful to the interests of the negro, or to the
country A Memphis contemporary thus
renders the letter in a clear light and
gives it a brief, business-like form, which
will make it still more attractive
SEVERAL THOUSAND VOTERS WANTED
RATIONs AND LODGINGS UNTIL THE
ELECTION IN AUGUST.
Wishing to secure several thousand votes
for the Radical party, the Freedmen's Blu
reau il authorized to give, without charge,
TO any Colored man who abandons work
on plantations, good board and lodging, in
respectable Radical families, until the
August election is over, provided such
colored men will each agree to vote the
Radical ticket Each colored man wishing
TO avail himself OF this liberal offer must,
when asked, say that he has always lived
in Tennessee, and that his employer was a
Rebel and wanted him to vote the Con-
servative ticket

THE PEACE OF THE CITY.

We call attention to the proclamation
Of the Mayor Of the city, published in
our columns this morning TWAS issued
after consultation with General Duncan,
commander6f the United States military
forces at this point, aud number of in
duential citizens representing the body Of
this population who feel deep solicitude
for the preservation Of order, and the
prevention of turbulence and violence
The lawlessness and bloodshed at Frank
lin on Saturday created anxiety for the
peace Of this city, and the department Of
the company Of militia sent from this
city on Monday to the scene of that oc.
currence, was well calculated te increase
the alarm and excitement All aw-abid-
ing citizens regardless Of party afHli-
ahons will approve the prompt action of
the Mayor in the premises, and applaud
the promised cooperation Of General
Duncan in the expression of any spirit
likely 10 lead TO riotous conduct Nash
vile must be spared such conflict
if possible, and it is the intention
of her citizens to avert it bv
a course of tirmness and prudence and
while paying due respect to the rights
and opinions Of all Of whatever party or
complexion, to maintain their fame as a
law upholding and peaceful community.
The timely and temperate warning TO all
conveyed in the proclamation, and the
expression of the meeting to be held this
evening, which we do not doubt from the
spirit in which it is called will be
judicious, viii, we trust, have the effect to
allay the useof riotous and inhammatory
language, and demonstrations calculated
to excite passion and produce collisions
The action OF the authorities and the
sentiment of those who havean interestin
assuring quiet as it win be uttered at the
meeting, it is hoped well teach the reck-
Jess 10 forbear, and it will have greater
significance, If it is participated in by
citizens generally

A NEW RADICAL DoDGE.-We learn
that the Commissioner Of Registration
in Sumner county does not issue certif-
Gates to the colored voters He registers
their names, fills up the certificates, and
keeps them in his own thanksgiving
that if he delivered them the negroes
would lose them and that he will retain
them till the day of election, when he
will give them out When it is known
that this Commissioner IS a candidate for
the Legislature and Captain of Brown
low S militia, the trick is easily pene-
trated Itmeans that on the day of elec-
ton he will deliver certificates and his
own tickets at the same time to the ne
groes and march them off to the polls
under a militia guard to deposit them.
Such is the Radical notion of the freedom
of the colored man in Sumner county,
and of elections generally. A baser
dodge was never conceived to enslave the
voter or debauch the ballot box.

community on the day of their arrival by
drunken, indecent and lawless conduct

variety of threats against the people,

BNIK PWroN ENTERS TIRE CANVASS -
There was rousing meeting OF the
people at Gallatin on Monday evening,
at which Hon Bale Pcyton delivered
speech announcing his acceptance Of
the Congressional nomination by the
Conservative party, and discussing briefly
the issues before the people Though
physically much afflicted, he is vigorous
in head and heart and the fires Of his
splendid youth glow afresh as he pleads
in eloquent tones for the rights and hbor-
ties Of his country and couutrymen.
The crowd was also addressed by
Judge John s Brien and Governor Foote.

ANOTHER TURN OF THE SCREW.

Brownlow gives us another taste of his
despotic mettle We have the authority
Of one of his best friends, now candi-
date for high position, that his bark is
worse than his bite This may be true
but that he barks and snaps terrifcally,
there can be question. The only point
upon which we feel any surprise is, that
Brownlow still tolerates even any Of the
forms Of law or liberty He could Just
as easily proclaim himself perpetual Die
tator in Tennessee The work would
be over with, and he would be rid Of the
trouble Of writing proclamations
every other day.

TIE SEVENTH DIsTRICr.

A business letter dated Paris, July 4th,
has the following cheering postscript;
Caldwell and Hawkins, our candidates
for Congress- spoke here to-day, and let me
assure you, sirs, the young but gifted and
talented champion is bearing himself
proudly in the cause of equal rights and
free government. He pours hot shot into
the lines Of the Brownlowites with a rim
that is bound to produce confusion and dis
asier. Hawkins attempted defense, but
it was so lame that that his feeble attempt
will avail nothing Already the knees of
the RAIDS begin to smite each other"

/" We learn upon reliable authority, that
the Messrs. Aaron, of this place, who
