wanting of the responsibility OF
the Radical members Of the Leg
islature for paying themselves In
gold, it will be found in the TWEEN
tieth. section of the act Of March
s, 1867, where provision is made
for paying the members and Of
fcers not only their per diem but
their mileage Gin specie or its
equivalent at forty per cent. =
Perhaps every member and officer
of the Legislature had received
his warrant from the Comptroller,
which was final settlement, at
the close of the session in July,
1866. But the Radical members
found a way to get round this
final settlement by the twenty
third section of the act Of March
s, 1867:
"That all warrants issued by
the Comptroller to the officers and
members Of this General Assem-
bly, for mileage and per diem,
from Oct. 2, 1865, to the 9Th of
November 1866, be, and the same
be null and void, and that the
Treasurer Of the State be entitled
to a credit for the amount that he
has heretofore paid the respective
officers and members of this Gen.
eral Assembly"
So eager were these Radicals
to get the additional pay which
this golden idea would give them.
that they absolutely annulled, by
formal act of the Legislature
the settlement they had previous
ly made with the State, in order
to get the forty per cent. which
they resolved their services were
worth from the I'd Of October
1865. And this increase in their
pay has cost the taxpayers of the
State about $4,000, almost the
half interest on the State debt tt

Circular.

The Lincoln County Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical Society has
recognized, and is endeavoring
to pat It's grounds in order for a
Fair next Fall. The Society is
in debt about 81, 200 FORTS ground,
which is in a judgment; and it
will take about 1900 more to
fit up the grounds suitably. These
facts commend themselves to the
attention of the whole county
The ground has been selected
with great care, the price is reason
able, and one payment has been
already made. If our former
work is not to be thrown away,
we must make the effort nor to
pay the debt, and improve the
ground. If this is not done at
once, the ground will be sold and
pass out of our hands entirely
1t is desired to have all the can
wasting done by the 1st Monday
in July-the next regular meet
ing of the Society. The payment
of FIVE dollars by any person en-
titles him to membership in the
Society, and free family ticket
to the Fair next Fall. For the
satisfaction of the people, we will
state further that the premiums
so far as practicable will be useful
articles of home manufacture.
We surely need not argue again
with this people to show them the
benefits Of such organizations
The maxim that in "union there
is strength has been acted on in
every age of the world. Will the
farmer and mechanic deny the
adage now, or at least deny it in
effect by Withholding his support
from this enterprise? Surely not
Our system OF cultivation Is
susceptible Of great improvement,
and now more than ever we need
the benefit of it to this end. Our
old system must in a measure
be abandoned, we are impoverish-
ed, We are taxed most heavily,
and We must depend upon our
selves. We must sink under our
burdens unless relieved by our
own exertions. If, therefore, we
would be prosperous, we must
build up our own fortunes. If
we would have our county again
to blossom as the rose" we must
20 to work. Then let us come
together and interchange ideas
and facts, and work for our mu-
tual improvement; and let Us con-
tribute as far as possible to the
general improvement and solid
prosperity of the country.

vanced the opinion that "the war
closed two years too soon"-that
''enough brood had not been shed"
Recent events 60 to show that
the clerical bully's desires will
be gratifed. On Wednesday morn
ing, 29th inst, a squad of mill
tia, belonging to Capt. W. o.
Rickman's command, now in
camp in Franklin county, killed
a man named Brown. The rea-
son assigned by Capt. Hickman
is as follows. We quote from
his official report of the affair:
A man by the name of James
Brown was killed by my men
this morning, MAY 29,) under
the following circumstances: On
the 9th inst. one of my men was
passing through Browns neighbor-
hood, and Brown got in company
with him to join his company.
He said he was a bushwhacker,
and belonged to Joe Rodgers
guerillas. He also told how many
Union soldiers he had bushwhack-
ed and killed. He wanted to
show the bones of two Federal
soldiers, close by his house, that
Rodgers and he had killed. |
sent Lieut.. Holt, with squad Of
men. to arrest Brown this morn
ing. After they caught him, and
on their way to the graves of the
two men he had killed, he broke
to run, and three men fired at
him and killed him.
Per contra, a meeting of citi-
zens was held in Winchester on
Wednesday, Goth ult., at which
q committee was appointed to re-
port the facts with reference to
the conduct of the militia in the
county. After investigation, they
report that they find the follow
ing facts to be true:
That the militia now located
in this county under one Capt.
Hickman, are committing depre-
dations that call for prompt and
immediate action. For weeks
the conduct of this militia has
been such as to deter many Of
our citizens from engaging in their
ordinary pursuits, and in particu-
lar parts Of the county farmers
particularly have been deferred
from making any expenditure in
the purchase or collection OF stock
to make a crop, and in portions
of the county the indications now
are that the crops viii have to be
abandoned and will be utterly lost
Several Of our citizens have
been driven from home and for
weeks have been hiding out.
Within the last few days the
outrages of this militia have been
of a much more serious and alarm
ing character. They have been
travelling over the county preten-
ding to be hunting arms, but they
have in the most violent manner
en4red peoples houses, insulted
the women and alarmed the chill
dren, threatening to Kill many
persons.
Among the families thus out
ragged, are DR.. Abernathy's, E. II.
Poe's, HamptOn's and many others.
Only a few days ago they took
81 inofensive boy-the son of E.
H. Poe-a prisoner, carried him
to camp and tied and condemned
him to be shot, and his life was
saved By the intercession Of a.
friend-making the young man
promise, upon pain of his lie, not
70 tell what had taken place.
Yesterday morning, about day
light, q portion of this militia
went to the house of a peaceable,
quiet citizen, James Brown, and, /
upon 3 pretended acknowledge
ment, which they claim to have
extracted from him BY falsely

THE PROSPECT RRIGHTENs.

Within the past three days we have
had information, upon which we can
rely from the Eastern and Western di-
visions of the State of the most cheering
character With the truthful exposure,
which has been made and is being daily
made of the hideousness Of Brownlowism,
the people are becoming convinced that
in Conservatism is our only safety, and,
if unmolested, will, on the day of cleo
ton, show their faith by their works.
The colored people are estimating Radi-
cahsm at its true value, allying them
selves with the friends of peace and cOn-
stitutional liberty In the East and
West there are but few Leagues, and out
side of Memphis and Knoxville, the coast
is clear and bright for the triumph of
justice and harmony. Great numbers,
who have been honestly supporting the
Radical cause, have been apprized Of its
true design and objects, and periodically
espoused the Conservative ticket entire.
In Middle Tennessee the enemies of
good government have shown greater
activity and unscrupulousness. They
have worked at midnight while honest
men were asleep, and have spread the
League in all localities where they have
found subjects to deceive and infme.
They have been industrious in season and
out Of season Our Conservative friends
in some localities have been slow to
arouse themselves to the great work but
we have assurances that their lethargy
is giving place to energetic action, and
that on the LIST of August our digi-io
viii wheel into line with the others, and
march with them to glorious victory. We
shall be greatly disappointed if this
promise is not fully realized. The time
for action is at hand, and the day for a
grand and lawful and peaceful effort to
