Interesting to TickeC-HOlderE In TIA,
Crosby Opera House,

From The Louisville Democrat, 4th.
ESQ., Matlack has just decided a case that will
be OF interest to the many thousands in this city
who hold tickets in the Crosby Opera House
drawing. Mr. II. Steinau, broker on Fourth
street, brought suit against Scott, Dawson d.
Co., agents for the sale of tickets in this city.
On the 4th OF January be bought four tickets,
for which he paid $40, the tickets to be delivered
to him before the news of the drawing should
reach the city.
The drawing took place on the 2lst of Janu-
airy, and on the morning of that day he called
upon the agents and demanded the tickets or
his money. They refused to return the money,
alleging that they had sent to Mr.. Crosby an
had not received the tickets. During the after
noon OF the 22d the tickets were sent TO him by
Scott, Dawson e. Co., the agents, and he re-
fused to take them, as the drawing had taken
place the day before. He Immediately brought
suit to recover the money paid on the l4th Of
January for the tickets.
The Justice decided that the money should be
paid back, and gave judgment against the de-
fendants for $50. He gave several reasons for
his decision, among others that the $40 were
paid in gambling transaction, and could oe
recovered under the statute OF Kentucky against
gaming, as the Court of Appeals has, ny its de-
csions placed all such affairs of chance upon
gambling basis. According to the rule here
laid down, all pertons VINO have thus invested
| money can sue and recover IT in those states
where laws exist against gaming. ana all games
OF chance come within the statute.

The Kn0xEilIe MESSENGER.

The Messenger, of this city, the Oldest Conserva-
tive paper in East Tennessee changed proprietor
ship on the 9th instant. This change has already
been noticed by our local editor. Absence from
home has prevented our earlier response to the fol-
lowing, which appeared in the Messenger, Of the
9th instant, from the pen Of its retiring editor Mr.
Marshall J. Hughes
THE KNoxvILLE WHIe.-We do not feel dis
posed 10 abandon the editorial chair Of the Messea-
aer without saying something concerning the K1sor-
UiLEe Wig. Notwithstanding the Wing and Mes
seaoer have always been bitter enemies politically,
there has always existed. socially, friendly ieel-
ing Personalities OF bitter character or an an
tsonistic nature have been entered into, and
in bidding adieu to the readers of the Messenger We
can, with propriety, speak in a just manner OF all
concerned in the immediate publication of the Why.
Its editor, Col. John Brownlow, VIC have always
found TO be a true friend, and with the exception
of "radicalism," he is certainly warm hearted and
clever gentleman. The same can be said OF friend
Haws, its business manager and partner. Its COM
positors are all gentlemen and we wish them, one
and all, the best of luck
Mr. Hughes has truthfully stated that the Mes
senger and WIG have "been bitter enemies politi-
caly" No journalist in the State has been more
hostile to the principles of the Radical
party than the retiring editor of the Messenger
He has at all times, severely criticised the official
acts of the State officials and warmly espoused the
cause Of the Conservative party. But his criticism
Of his political opponents has been confined within
the legitimate sphere of manly journalism We are
gratifed to be able to state that personal rela
tions have always been described. During his
two years connection with the press of this city,
since which time we have had the pleasure of his
seouaintanre he mas with the execution of "Con-
servatism," approved himself just the kind of man
he should be. In the private relations of fife he is
a generous gentleman, and to his new home in his
native State, Virginia, he carries with him our bes
wishes for his success and happiness.

New York Election.

AS a result of the New York election, the Con-
sentative papers are publishing that a Democratic
U. S. Senator will be elected 10 succeed Gov Nor
gan. one Of the Radical incumbents. This is not
true The election for United States Senator can
not be held till February, 1869, and then the Leg
lslature to BE- elected NAY be Radical After the
sweeping victory the Republicans will gain in the
Presidential election, we doubt not they will sweep
the State in the election SO soon following and carry
the Legislature by large majority The Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction and the Police Com
mssioners are the only Offices Of any mporta ice 70
be filed by the present Democratic Legislature
The Governor, who is Radical, was elected two
years ago for four years, and he fills the important
Offices Of Auditor Of the Canals, Superintendent
of the Bank Department. a Superintendent OF the
Insurance Department and many other lucrative
Offices. So far as patronage is concerned, the cleo
ton in New York is barren victory to the Cop
perheads.

Peer Andrew.

The Democratic Conservative papers tell ua that
the President is very angry because the Democratic
State Convention Of New York refused to endorse
his administration just what the President might
have expected With the treachery OF John lylef
and the fate Of like traitors before him, PC should
have known the doom awaiting his base betrayal Of
the Union party.
While loving The treason, the Democrats des-
pisa the traitor johnson.
When the brief lease of power remaining 10 him
is gone, and he bas no more Offices to bestow, or
peoples money TO sustain rebel papers in East Ten
neasee there will be none-even by lip sorvieeETso
poor as TO do him reverence.
Disappointed in bis ambition 70 be reelected
President, despised alike by DEMOCRATS aud RePuD-
licans, in a minority in his own village, county,

out of Office the most unhappy and at the same time
contemptible person who ever disgraGed an exalted
station.

How 1t Was Done.

The New York Citizen, edited by Gen. Charles
G. Halpine miles o Reilly prominent and infu-
entail Though sometimes frank Conservative, tells
us how the called Democracy carried the city of
New York by such an immense majority.
The "Tammany organization" is term under
stood by all politicians and every citizen of New
York, but for the information of a large class of
East Tennessee Conservatives we will state that it
is one wing and the controlling wing of the Dem
ocratic or Conservative party of New York 1t
requires the impotence of the devil himself for a
Conservative TO rejoice over the New York election
after denouncing the election in this State as fraud
ulently carried by The Republican party. General
Halpine says;
1t is notorious that The Tammany organization
utterly Inscriptions, and with uncontrolled access
TO the city treasury must have spent an aggregate
Of not less than 100000 Of private and public mo-
ney in the recent contest All the pay-rolls of the
city departments for the past two months have been
heightened and strengthened by thousands upon
thousands of snecure inspectors and other place
holders-assgned 10 nominal duty, but really with
no other charge than TO eectioneer for the Tamma-
ny candidates. Apart from these sources of public
or place-holding corruption. we have reason 10
know, beyond any question, that the friends of
single Tammany candidate subscribed and paid out
in his behalf and for his private benefit in the late
contest sum more than four times the aggregate
Of the entire sum in the hands of the Democratic
Union treasurer for the conduct and organization
of our entire campaign.
II is notorious also that with the enormous mo-
ney power thus placed under its control there was
an enormous illegal repeating" vote organized
and registered in the Tammany interest-say not
less than from 1900 10 10000 fraudulent votes
of which not less than from 10000 to Il 600 reach
the ballot-b box in favor Of the Tammany candi-
dates the remainder being either scared of by the
activity and early arrests of the police or being I'M
able, from sheer lack of time between sunrise and
sunset to vote in many election districts as they
were registered in--one case having been trustwor-
thily reported 10 of man who was registered in
no less than IS election districts Holding these
facts in view, let Us consider and review what
was the fate of our candidates

Can l. 8. TrOwbrIdge.

r ,bis CITY. makes a violent per-
my - fellow-townsman, Gen. Trow-
- The presext mot cause) OF this attack, Is the
$50 sh.t Cen. Trowbridge received SO per day rs
~ accent Of the East TENNESSEE and Georgia and
ra., Tennessee and Virginia railroads. appointed
r., tho Governor last fall by authority Of an act CT
the Legislature, 70 60 TO Washington to collect the
claims OF those roads against the Government Tor
the use Of the same during the war.
Now, if there is anything wrong in this sFansae-
ton. Gov Brownlow is alone responsible. What
Gen. Trowbridge charged the State was in accord
ance with the views Of the Governor as to what
constituted an equitable fee; and it was no more
than he should have received to abandon his clients
and 90 to Washingtop at the enormous expense IN
cident to such a trip, and boarding at Washington
hotels We know that bsfore leaving home the
General spent weeks in fOrfying himself with doc
uments and laboriDg for the interests of these roads,
for which he charged no compensation.
The editor Of tho Eree Press is lawyer, and, we
understand, received $500 fee for going to Wash
ington to request Of the President the release Of
Dick Mccain, Kain and ROddy, indicted in the
Circuit Court Of this county for the murder of Union
men.
In proportion TO the labor performed and the
success attending the same, this was fully as much
81 Gen. Trowbridge received for his services. We
have no idea Lawyer Fleming, of the Free Press,
received more than his services merited for he has
too much sympathy with the devotees of the "lost
cause 10 ask an exorbitant fee Of three dsconsoae
brothers of the Conservative party just out OF the
Rebel army and incarcerated in Yankee bastile.
Again, Gen. Trowbridge has as much business in
our Courts and attends as closely to the interests OF
his clients as the editor of the Free Press, and IN
leaving home makes as great sacrifice But our
lawyer-editor argues against the amount of Trow-
! BRIDGES fee that he failed to gain his cause. We
have never before heard that lawyers should receive
no compensation for their services because they
we're unable to gain their cause This has not been
the practice Of the editor of the Free Press. His
clients in whose behalf he pleaded with the Presl-
dent were duly tried for murder and yet he receiv-
1 ed the little sum of $500.
There are two causes for assaulting Trowbridge-
Animosity towards him because of his pronounced
Radicalism, and disappointment that these state
fees. which are all in cash" are not being DIS
pensed bv copperbead State Government to cop
narhasd LAWYERS When the editor of the Free
press shall abandon his vocation the mouth-pece
and eulogist of the Conservative lawyers who have
literally robbed the widows and orphans of the mar
tyred Unionists Of East Tennessee for services they
never rendered, the public will be more likely to
concede him sincerity in his professions of fair

We publish communication from Rev. w. d.
Bates, Of the Southern wing of tho NJ. e. Church,
in reply TO one which appeared in this paper sew
eral weeks since from Rev. Dr. Pearne of the loyal
branch Of this Church
In publishing Mr.. Bates communication, we
tend to him a courtesy which the Conservative pa
pers have refused the ministers Of that Church
whose sympathies arc and have always been with
the Federal Government in its war for the suppress
sion of treason.
Dr. Pearne is able TO meet with the pen or in de-
bate all the enemies Of his Church in East Tennes-
zee, and we would not offer word of comment in
presenting Mr. Bates letter but for his gratuitous
thrust at the Union Leagues.
An the cant about "negro equality cannot ex-
onoTate from the charge Of defiant and persistent
treason The Conference which Mr. Bates essays to
defend. We have heretofore noticed somewhat in
detail the proceedings Of this disoyal conelave of
ministers which recently assembled at Cleveland as
Conference Of "non-political" messengers Of
.'Christ and him crucihed.n We will not repeat
what We have heretofore written, but give a few
facts in additonrwhich one will gainsay One
Of the ministers of this non-potical Church. a
fellow by the name of Redford who was a rebel

ence that be knew what it was TO be in prison. and

Another said "the NJ. Z. Church was transient !;
like grcenbacks it would play out DIR. Sehou,
Cthe same whom Andrew johnson slapped in prison
for treason the Secretary Of the Missionary Board,
and shining light Of the Church "wbose ministers
alone preach Christ and him crucfed," said he
Hcarred the evidence Of lis loyalty in his pocket
and boosted that he had taken public boarding at
Nashville The presiding Bishop, waightman, of
South Carolina exhibited bad spirit He spoke
in bitter scornful terms Of the old Church. and said
in thus speaking that il (the NJ 4. church, had
been the backbone of the Federal Government du-

Whether this is true or not, Abraham Lincoln
said that the loyal Methodists of the North because
Of their superiority Of numbers had furnished more
soldiers and lone more for the suppression Of the
rebellion tha1 any other denomination of Chris
tians. 1t does not, however, become the Bishop Of
Conference claiming to be "non-politioal TO urge
as a crime against the NJ. e. Church that il was
loyal during the war.
We could give the declarations OF many others
Of the ministers Of this Conference similar to those
cited above showing The reasonable character Of
this so-caled non-politics Church, but have not

With such a record Mr.. Bates viii find it an up
