GEN. MOWER TO BE ARRAIGNED


The New Orleans correspondent of the
Chicago Times, says
at is rumored that grave charges will be
preferred against him, growing out of his
unwarrantable interference in civil affairs.
1t is also rumored that he will be required
to state in writing the number of removals
made by him, the cause for such removals,
the names of those appointed TO fll the
places thus made vacant, and the names of
those who recommended the appointees.
IL the latter rumor should prove true, it
will cause terrible futtering among the
leading Jacobins, who it is strongly inl
situated, have made good thing out of
these removals. 1t is further insinuated
that some of those who have been bled
pretty freely in the pocket by these office
brokers, ana who have been dismissed from
the Office to which they were appointed,
feel somewhat sore over their losses, and
are disposed 10 expose the whole nefarious
plot" s--.- .s-a. n5

engaged in plucking the gray hairs from
her husbands musiache, was asked by

" Only carrying out your own policy, sir /;
extermina;ing the whites for the benefit of
the blacks" was the reply.

Chattanooga, which had made ii necessary
to pass the law in order TO place the gov
eminent Of these cities in loyal hands.
Every Inan in that Legislature voted for il
and every disloyal man voted against 1t.
He had voted for the amendment of March,
1857 believing that enough had been done
to place the system ON firm footing, and
the municipal governments should be
maintained. But this debt was contracted
before that time. and ought Justly to be
paid by the State. Mr.. Pearson had mort
gagged his property and pledged his all 10
advance this money. The State was moi
only morally but legally bound to pay the
debt, and should set an example Of good
faith. s.as' ' 81 3ae ~
Mr.. Kerchival, Chairman of the Judi,
iciary Committee, stated that the committee
had carefully examined the law on the
subject, and we're clearly OF the opinion
that the State was legally held for the debt.
The law was 80 plain that. he did not see
how the State would get around il without
repudiation. True the State was poor, but
Il was simply question Of paying an
honest debt. If there were but $4,000 in
the treasury, he would be in favor OF pay
ing it. ~ =.
( Mr. Hacker argued that the law would
CLEARLY require the payment of this debt
by the State. He thought the Comptroller
ought TO have paid it without question.
We would be untrue 10 the law on the
statute book iinsrue 70 our honor, If we
refused to make the appropriation. 1t was
necessary to retrench, bat don't let res
trenchment begin by the reputation of
honest debts.
Mr. Singletary urged the passage of the
bill on legal grounds. He read the law
passed July oath, 1866, and argued that the
State was bound by all acts performed
under this act, and previous to March 9th,
1867. This debt was contracted previous
TO the last date named and it would be
nothing less than reputation.
Mr.. Shepherd opposed the bill. He ar
gued that if the law was go plain, why was
it that new act was necessary? Why did
not the gentleman draw on the Treasurer
and not on the Legislature?
After some further discussion the preyi.
GUS question was called and the bill passed
second reading.
Adjourned until A. NJ. Monday.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Senate bill No. 20: To change the time
of holding the Chancery Court of the
county of Lawrence. Passed first reading.
House bill No. IS; To protectmechanics,
giving them lien on the product of their
labor Passed second reading.
Senate bill No. 100: Authorizing The
payment TO A. A. Pearson, Commissioner
of Metropolitan Police of Chattanooga, the
sum of $4,000, TO be applied to the payment
of the police force of Chattanooga, for
services from November LIST, 1866, TO the
9th of March, 1867, the same TO be collected
and refunded to the State when suit now
pending in the Supreme Court ON the sub.
ject shall have been decided.
Mr.. Wines wished that some gentleman
who was posted in the matter would state
whether it was probable that the suit
pending in the Supreme Court, would be
so decided as to authorize the collection
and return 10 the State of the amount now
proposed 10 be advanced, He believed that
the measure was a Just one, and should be
passed, and further, that the suit wonld be
favorably decreed. A statement from some
one acquainted with the facts would, he
thought, strengthen the bill.
mr. huuttHOu btAltu tic AdlAe lu tie CAcf,
and expressed himself satisfied that the de.
cision of the Supreme Court would be such
as would secure the repayment to the State
Of the sum now asked TO be appropriated.
The State had pledged itselfto support this
police force, and il was just that this bill
should be paid. Mr.. Pearson had adj
vanced the money from his own pocket to
pay the police force; had mortgaged his
property for this purpose, being determined
that the system Of police instituted by the
State should be carried out upon the faith
that the State would stand up to its promise
and assume the debt
Mr.. White, of Greene, was 10 favor OF
paying this debt whether 1t shall ever be
refunded or not. He had looked into the
matter, and in his view, this was a debt
which the State had pledged its faith to
pay, and he was in favor Of paying every
Just debt which the State had contracted
He was a taxpayer, and he was ready al
ways to contribute what was due from him
20 liquidate the honest debts OF The State
He would rather lose the coat from has
back than that the State should take a steT
in the direction of reputation, or commit
so fsgrant an act of injustice toward man
who had fearlessly maintained the policy
Of the loyal State government at 50 much
personal sacrifice.
Mr.. Speaker Richards called Mr.. Roach
to the chair and addressed the House IL
support Of the bill. The measure was onS
which most meet the approval of ever
loyal man in the State. The law establish
