The Conservatives and Democrats OF
Tennessee. or, rather, that small portion
Of them which have not been disfranchised
by military violence, have held a State
Convention and nominated Emerson Eth,
cridge for Governor. Mr.. Etheridge i,

bitterly denounced the secession move
ment in 1861, and on account of it wa:
obliged to fee from the State. He was
then elected Clerk of the United States
House of Representatives by the Republi-
can war majority. There is, therefore.
not much doubt about his Union antece-
dents. But being an honest and plain
spoken man with q strong sense Of justice,
he refused to support Brownlow in some
OF his disgusting acts, and thus fell under
the bann of that vulgar and bloody-mipded
demsgogue. lie Was then arrested and
thrown into prison, and from there wrote
d watering aud sarcastic letter to Presi-
dent Johnson, il which = discussed both
his character and Brownlows without re-

he will be elected ever although the mass
of the people are disfranchised.- Gin. Eng.

WASHINGTON. April %

WASHINGTON. April ~.
The construction of the civil tenure act,
in 30 far rs it applies to vacant Offices, has
been under consideration to-day by the
law officers of the various departments
A considerable variety Of opinion exists,
but the legal views of the attorney gencr.
al will only be regarded by the president.
The state department, for instance, looks
upon the Office of consul at Havana, which
is q fixed salary Of $4,000 in gold, as abol-
ished by the tcnure law. The president
is of the opinion that it can be filled by d
deputy or special Office consul agent. The
treasury department solicitor maintains
that the president can place the vacant in
ternal revenue Offices in charge of dep
utics, and that even the New York naval
Office can be filled in hat way. The law
relieves the postal service of many diff
c%ulties. The postmaster general, under
the act of 1864, can put special agents of
the department in charge of all vacant
postofices, but there are not enough
agents. The law also gives such agents
supervisory power over all the po0t-ofhces.
Where there are no agents he has decided
TO abolish the Offices.
There is great delay a. the state Depart

RICHMOND. Va. Abr

hltHMOND, {. April Il.
Senator Wilson spoke at Orange Court
House yesterday. He recounted the
evnts which led to the war, and said that
after its close the north had no i'll feeling
for the south. The south was submissive,
and had the measures now pending been
adopted directly at the end of the conflict.
the south would have acknowledged that
the government was just and liberal, but
when Mr.. johnson assumed power he
adopted a different policy, which had
brought on all this dissatisfaction. Mr..
Lincoln had prepared eighr conditions for
the pardon Of rebels, all Of which met his
Wilson'S approval. Mr.. johnson pre-
pared fourteen, which were too many.
lie Wilson, had never favored the $50
600 clause, for he wanted the south, ex-
cept a few prominent rebels. to be at liberty
to so to work. The south had complained
Of congress having violated the constitu-
ton and yet it upheld Mr.. Johnson in
this violation of the constitution in restor-
ing states. The speaker was opposed to a
black mans party or white mans party.
Let all who favor human bondage go to-
gether. If any rebels had cast aside the
delusion, let them come up and join the
republican party.
Maj. J. IL. Lee, state senator from
Orange, replied to Mr.. Wilson. lie
charged the introduction of slavery upon
the north, and said the north did not at
first intend to liberate the slaves, and that
the southern people were the blacks best
friends.
Mr.. Wilson replied that in a year the
north would give the negroes suffrage.
He said confscation might follow ifthe re-
construction bill Was not accepted.

ThCTrlal of SurrIif.

VA
A Washington dispatch of yestarday
says:
Messrs Bradley and Merrick, counse
for John Ii. Suratt, appeared to-day il
the criminal court and filed a petition al
leging that the prosecution has had the
fullest notice aud amplest meaus to prepare
for trial, and can have no reasonable ground
upon which to ask a further p%ostponement
The prisoners means have been utterly ex
hausted in seeking evidence 20 establish his
innocence beyond all doubt. He is now
ready, and demands a speedy trial. The
counsel therefore pray the court to override
the motion of the district attorney for q
continuation, and name some day at the
present term for trial.
United States attorney Darlington said
that he was Wiling that he should have q
speedy trial which would be as soon as the
interests of the prisoner and the govern
ment could be properly ascertained. He
expected at the trial to be able to satisfy
the world that Surratt was guilty.
Judge Fisher remarked that he did not
think the prisoner had cause to complain
and there was no reason why he should be
very inpatient, for prisoners were very
frequently six months in Jail before their
trial; but still he desired to have the triaI
this term, and signied that it would be
agreeable to proceed to trial on or about
May ~.
Mr.. Bradley said they would be ready
on May 20. and if the district attorney was
not ready, would consent to postpone the
trial to May q.
The district attorney said he could not
be ready before June Is. lie could not
state precisely the date.
The counsel then withdrew, and that
the business of the court proceeded.
