GOVERNOR BROWNLOW AND DE-
TECTIVE BAKER.

To the Editors Of the Union and Dispatch.
NASHVILLE, Dec. Sd, 1667.-In your
issue Of to-day, in commenting upon the
testimony before the committee on i'm
parchment, find the following in refer.
ring to the testimony Of Detective L. C.
Baker
"This fellow Baker testified before the
impeachment committee that he had seen a
letter from Andrew Johnson to JEFF. Davis,
written while the former was Military
Governor of Tennessee, in which he COM
municated valuable information to Davis,
such as would have subjected any man to
hanging as a spy; that this had been
taken off Andrew Johnson's table in Nash
VILE that John w. Adamson, No. 20
Myrtle street, Nashville, Tenn had
given it to him, that Adamson did not
take the letter himself but that Gov.
Brownlow had employed a colored man to
take it, This testimony was published a
week or ten days ago, but Governor Brown
low has remained silent in regard to it."
at is not probable that if Gov. Brown
low had come in possession of such a let
ter as Baker Processes to have seen, he
would have parted with it, or that he could
have kept the matter a secret so long. 1t
is perhaps uncharitable to attribute Gov.
Brownlow's silence to a feeling of partisan
vindictiveness toward President johnson,
that an air of probability might thereby be
given TO the story Of the periured Baker
Why this silence on the part of the Gov
ernor~
By Governor Brownlow | am directed
to state that he had not seen an ac-
count of Bakers testimony until he read
it in your issue of to-day. Further, that if
Baker made such a statement as is att
tributed to him, it is wholly false and
without foundation. The Governor says
he has no knowledge of such letter as is
referred to, and does not believe that Pres
ident johnson ever wrote letter to JEFF.
Davis or any one else, giving aid and COM
fort to the rebellion. He does not believe
that Andrew Johnson's treachery to the
republic antedates his accession to the
Presidency.
The testimony Of Baker, as published in
several papers, attributes the statement
Governor Brownlow is alleged to have
made, TO one of his sons. As Gov. B. has
but two sons, the reference is made TO my
self or nay brother, Capt. James p Brown
low Of the regular army. So far as 1 am
the statement is an unmitigated
and unfounded falsehood. For my brother,
who is in Arizona territory, feel author
lied to make the same statement.
Finally, would express the opinion
that any honest jury would convict Baker
of perjury upon his own testimony.
By publishing the above you will obiige,
Yours, very respectfully,
JOHN BRowELow,
Editor of the Knoxville Wing.

ers-They Receive a snub from their
Own Camps.
From the Cincinnati Commercial, I'd.
The wisdom displayed by Mr.. Schuyler
CoifaX in selecting General Banks for the
Craftsmanship of the Committee on For
eign Affairs in the House is made more
manifest by the intelligence we receive
from day to day Of that gentleman's anna
teur performances in mixing up in the af-
fairs of other people. He has not 50 far
involved us yet as to bring on a foreign war,
but there is no telling what he may accom-
plish before Congress adjourns.
Here is the substance of the latest ad-
vices from the City of Mexico, touching
the efforts he has made for a cooperative
movement TO rid the Western Hemisphere
of Spanish influence and misrule. The
THO Republics a carefully edited news
paper published in the City of Mexico. as
serts that IL was concerted that orr Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
should proceed TO the Mexican capital to
arrange the American part of the pro-
gramme in the grand scheme of fillibus-
tering. He was authorized TO state that
parties in the United States would furnish
three iron-clads, ten transports and three
thousand veterans enlisted and differed
from the late Union and Confederate ar,
mics, and TO give assurance, from the Pre-
sident himself, to the patriot party in Cuba
that no interference by European powers
would be allowed. The allied fillibGsters
of the United States, Mexico and the Cen
trail and South American republics, 40 soon
as the scheme should be projected, were to
march forth conguering and to conquer,
driving the Spaniard from the continent,
and prodding him off to the islands of
the West Indies at the point of the bayo.
net The failure of General Banks to put
in an appearance as expected in the City
ofMsxico is attributed to the fact that the
scheme, which was TO have been per fected
in profound secrecy, got wind, and reached
the Spanish court by the shortest passage
The consequence was the arrival ofSpanish
troops in Cuba, and the adoption of such
measures as would prevent any general
rising and check any attempt at reVolu-
ton.
General Banks has had an uncontroIl-
able disposition to be meddlesome in for
eign affairs since his election TO Congress.
His memorable Fenian resolutions were
but outcroppings of this warlike tendency;
and the last scheme in which he has en-
gagged afforded as glorious opportunity
for scrimmage with Spain and two or
three other powers as was ever Matched in
a mischieTous brain. We are given to m
derstand that it is not yet abandoned. The
presence Of the revolutionary Spanish Gen.
eral Prinn, and several Cuban exiles Of in
nuence, in this country, is said to have
something to do with it. They will find
General Banks in position to give them
official comfort and indirect assistance,
which he will not hesitate to do unless the
decisive Conservative stand taken by the
House on the question Of further territorial
aggrandizement should discourage him.

We Npprchend that when Andy

extract from the Register:
"Thc "impeachment" humbug is
stirred again, for the purpose OF
soaring Mr.. johnson from any in
tention to remove Sheridan, or fur
ther interfere with the Military
authorities of the ''iive districts"
This second Jackson" this brave

pluck Of a sheep, or he would make
the heads of the impudcnt satraps
of Congress swim with the swift
ness of their exit from their official
posts For the first few months af-
ter he assumed the dutieSof Presi-

ever since this impeachment dodge
was started, he has run like a
hound" -

Our Democratic contemporaries
express great fears that ifthe color
ed male persuasion arc allowed to
vote, their sweet daughters will
stand in iminent danger of being
captured by some of those colored
boys, to the extent of mOtrimOny
with them. Now we should like to
know why 1t is that the fears az
these democrats is all for their
daughters2 Have they no fears for
their boys? Why don't these ten
der fathers propose to protect their
sons from intermingling with the
negro wenchesY We frequently see
the motto reared, "White husbands
9r none" but never motto pro
claiming, "WAjte ptees Or none"
Now IT we were u betting man, we
would wager a trihe that more than
three rourths Of the mulattoes in
Dixie land out Of it, too) are the
immediate descendants Of white ia
Tiers. Is there not more danger,
then, that the young Democrats OF
the State are more in need Of pro
lection from the tender passion Of
Dmah, than the blooming Demo.
cratic lasses are from the repulsive
matrimonial embraces of SamJop
There is another query, aud that
is, why is It that nobody but the
Democratic party are afraid that
their daughters win marry negroes
in the event of the adoption Of the
constitutional amendments Union
people have no fears that theil
daughters will want to marry ne
grces. The panic seems to be con
fined to the Democracy.

Disappointed.

The Democracy expected to max
a large amount of political capita
out of the constitutional amendmen
under the provision that disfranchis
es dcserters, They claimed tina
this provision would disfranchis
about $4,000 soldiers who had, un
der misapprehension, after the sur
render of Johnson and Lee, and al
the fighting was over, left for thei
homes without their regular ant
honorable discharges.
But after all their bluster and hyp.
ocritical sympathy for these sol
diers, they are down on Mr., Ash
lcy's bill, defining those who are to
be regarded as deserters, inasmuch
as this bill provides that the sol
diers who served faithfully in the
army until Lee and Johnson sur
rendered and then went home with
out their discharges, shall not be
deemed deserters, but that their
names shall be replaced on the rolls
and that they shall receive pay up
to the time they left.
This number, the Democrats say,
is $4,000. Now why are they op-
posed to AshIey's billP Simply
from the fact that more than two
thirds of this number arc Union
men, and their vote will increase the
Union vote of the State equal to at
least two-thirds of that number and
perhaps more. They could well af.
ford to have this number Of votes
disfranchised and prevented from
voting the Union ticket. Not only
so; they expected to make capital
by their continual hypocritical howl
that $4,000 soldiers would be dis
franchiscd, and six or eight thou
sand negroes entranehiSed if the
constitutional amendment should be
adopted. But this bill, which has
just passed Congress, defining who
shall be deemed deserters, takes
from them this anticipated capital,
and adds to the Union strength in
Ohio. That accounts for tile "milk
in the cocoanut.'
Now the only arguments they
have to make against the amend
mept tWe, that il disfranchi5es some,
not many we apprehend, however,
of their particular friends who had
a distsste for gunpowder in front of
the enemy, and those who preferred
her Majesty's dominions when their
services were needed to defend our
country, and those who had an
aversion to oleying the commands
of drafting officers. These men,
every one of them, if allowed to
vote, would vote the so-called but
tcrnut ticket. And that is the Sc
cret of their opposition to the dis
franchiscment ofthis class ofralj0at
soldiers.
Then their opposition to the ne
grocs voting. They tell us he is
too ignorant to be clothed with the
right of suffrage. Well, we admit
there is great deal of darhnesSin
the African race; but it is shrewdly
intimated to us that if our Demo
cratic brethren establish ignorance
rs a test by which to disfEanchise
men, the vote Of their party might
suffer an immense reduction that
would be u suicidal stab at the pow
Or of the boasted hnterriiied Democ-
'acy Of the United States.
