It's anAcknowledgedF Fact

The facetious Tomlinson in
"Paul Clifford" says-"When you
are going to tell a lie, always pre-.
face it by observing, 1T is an ac-
knowledged fact &c." The Rad
icals have evidently benefited by
Tomlinson's instructions. When
the Illegal and unauthorized trans
fer of the school fund of Tennes-
see to Memphis bank by r. M.
Stanford, Brownlow's Treasurer,
was first announced, Brownlow
and his strikers propounded Gas
an acknowledged fact" after due
investigation, that the State would
be subjected to no loss by the
Treasurer's "private spec" 1t
now appears that the notes given
by the bank for the fund have
gone to protest, the Tennessee
National Bank" of Memphis has
closed its doors, and the State will
have to engage in an exhausting
lawsuit, to secure any portion of
the debt. Tennessee has been
swindled. That is San acknowl-
edged fact" Brownlow's announce
ment for or against it, notwith-
standing.

Ms The negroes are begin

true value. They know that.
before the war, he was one of the
most blatant defenders of slavery
in the whole South. They know,
too, that when he thought it
would pay, he, with a perfect con-
tempt for consistency and honesty,
turned to be a Radical, and COM
menced beslavering the colored
people with gross, nauseating fiat
terry. And they believe he will be
