ARRIVAL OF TROOPS AND BUREAU Of
FICIALs.
Captain Burke's company of the 45th in
fantry arrived by the afternoon train Sun
day, and took possession of the courthouse.
Their appearance was hailed with great sat
isfaction by the citizens
Major General Carlin, Capt. Walsh and
Lieut.. Groesbeck, Of the Freedmen's Blu
reau, visited Franklin on Sunday. Gen
Carlin returned yesterday.
WHO FIRED THE FIRST SHOT.
Messrs. James II. White, L. r. Brown,
Jno. Scruggs, Mr.. Gordon, and other re.
spectacle citizens, assert their readiness to
take oath that the first shot was fred by
the Leaguers, and that the movements on
the part of Colonel House and his friends
were purely defensive.
MICHAEL H. CODY, JR., AND COL. HOUSE.
Mr.. Cody, the gentleman who was killed,
was a member of the firm of Vaughn &
| Cody, livery stable proprietors Among
the most extreme Radicals, even, he has
| always borne the character of quiet, inof-
fensive citizen, and was universally re-
| spected. He was about twenty four years
of age, and leaves a wife and two small
children.
The character of Col. John NJ. House is
well known, and there is not perhaps a
man in Williamson county whose record
stands clearer as peaceable, quiet citizen,
than his. He did his duty as a Confed-
crate soldier, and as citizen of the United
States since the Surrender, not word can
be said against him.
The whole affair was bloody outrage
upon a law-abiding community, and one
TX -, 80
effect.
DEPARTURE OF MILITIA FOR FRANKLIN
YESTERDAY.
The excitement at Franklin still con-
| tinues. The presence of the regulars will
| doubtless hold the Leaguers in check, though
there were rumors of more trouble yester-
day. Capt. Jim Summers company Of
cOlored militia was sent down from this
| place by the afternoon train, for what pur-
pose is not known. IT they were sent to
preserve order, it can be nothing more than
| a direct insult to Gen. Duncan and the sol
| diers of the veteran 45th, who are stationed
| there TO preserve the peace-as if they were
not competent to keep order! Such a
ISLAM" on the gallant regulars has not
been perpetrated before since the birth OF
| tuS CHiNCu ADtatV9 army. Dilao, tiiC man
who melted the riot, was in this city yes
terday, and it was doubtless for his especial
benefit that the melish were forwarded.
INVESTIGATIONS IN PROGRESS.
Judge Brien convened the Circuit Court
at Franklin yesterday, and the grand jury
are investigating the facts in regard to the
riot. An investigation is also being made
by the Bureau authorities, and reports will
shortly be made.
