Mississippi Injunction Case-Arga.
menf for Petitioners.
WASHINGTON, May 3.---The Mississippi
Injunction case being before the Supreme
Court to-day, Robert ]. Walker made an
argument for the petitioners, denying that
Congress had power TO pass an act beyond
the range of judicial inquiry, and contend
ing that the constitution provided for snch
cases as these being brought before the
court.
In reply TO Attorney General Stanberry's
remarks of last Friday, Mr.. Walker
maintaed that political questions had not
been excluded from the court, and in sup
port Of this position he referred, among
other and more recent cases, TO the military
commissions and test oath questions, upon
both Of which tho Supreme Court had pro-
nounced its opinion.
Mr.. Walker quoted various decisions IN
further refutation Of the Attorney Gen
ERALS, that this court has jurisdiction in
cases not involving money and lands, aud
in conelusion, while speaking Of the des-
perate and Wholesale sweeping ont of ten
States of the Union by the reconstruction
act az directly contrary 90 the constitn-
ticn OF the United States, he said broad
eF bill Of attainder 10 penalties had never
been passed. II reduced ten millions of
loyal and disloysl people TO bondage, and
substituted the cleaning sword and the
bristling hayonef for constitutional guards
and the courts of law.
When Mr.. Walker had finished. II
wanted twenty minutes 10 three.
After consultation, the court said thew
EoHId hear Attorney General Stanberry's
reply on Monday, to which time the court
adjourned.

GOVERNOR BROWNLOw DESIRES
To EXTINGUISIT AND THUS GET
RID OF THE NEGRO RACE.
From the Knoxville Commerc


In the Knoxville Whig, published az late
as May 2Sth, 1864, Brownlow plainly,
freely and without any reserve tells the
colored man that he wants them freed only
for the reasons that he, Brownlow, believes
it will be the very means of extinglishing
the negro race. Brownlow says:
1--WE have never differed with the South
upon the abstract question of slavery, and
do not now differ; and we are free to say,
that the condition of the slaves when
liberated, ifleff in the South, viii be worse
than it has been during their servitude.
But We are for emancipating every negro
in the South Notwithstanding all this.'
Here Brownlow classes the negro with
the Rebel and SAYS he wants the negro pun
ished the same as Rebels are punished and
for no other reason than that he is negro.
He SAYS 'for taking this ground we have
Just two controlling reasons. First, he
says, at will be the seyerest punishment of
Southern rebels that can he inflicted"
Now see what a noble object he has in view;
nothing more or leqs than the destruction
of the negro race. And next, sit will be
the very means of extinguishing the negro
race
Let the colored man vote for some other
than one who desires TO have them punished
the same as Rebels.

The Reform Bill.

Ahc Bill
LONDON, May 2, P. M.-There is consid-
cradle uneasiness felt in financial circles
here and on the continent as to the result OF
the peace conference.
The Earl Of Derby says officially that no
plan has been fixed on as a basis of settle
ment of the Luxembourg question, though
he hoped that permanent peace would be
the result Of their deliberations.
A dispatch received states that rising
of the Republicans in Cetalona, Spain, had
occurred. Nothing definite as 10 the pro-
portions of the insurrection.
PARIs, May 3, P. M.-Baron MOustier,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, stated in the
Corps Legislatif to-day that the basis
which has been agreed on for the negotia-
tons of the peace conference assures the
peace Of Europe.
LONDON, May Sin the House of Com
mons, last night, division took place in
regard TO the reform bill, and the govern
ment party were defeated by a majority OF
eighty-ene votes in favor Of the Liberal
party. The government insists on its pro-
hibition against holding political meetings
in HYDE Park, and the Home Office has
issued a warning against reform de
monstratlon proposed to be held at that
place on Monday next
LONDON, May 3-P. M--The Derby
government has accepted the amendment

BROWNLOW'S LOYAL MILITIA.
How "a Works and How Ghe People
Regard Ia.

From the Knoxville Commercial. "a
The following We believe TO come from
a reliable source, and presume the state
ments 10 1t contain a true account of the
Loyal Militia doings in that section:
APRIL Both, 1867 .-EpIToR CONNER
CIAL: IL may interest your readers to
learn something of the doings of Brown
lows State guard in this part of his do
miuions.
A Mr.. Chambers, Of Scott county, has
been for several weeks trying to make up
company, and upon Thursday last, the 18th
inst, they assembled at Huntsville TO COM
plete the organization of the company nv
the election Of officers. After the election,
the defeated parties, who appear to be not
satisfied with the result, commenced
dispute II appears to have been a
general melee; n promiscnous fight
some fifteen or twenty persons engaged
in il. One man, a Mr. Newport, was
killed on the ground Mr.. Penning-
ton had his skull badly fractured, and is in
a very critical condition. Some eight or
ten Others were more or less injured by
the promiscuous flying through the air of
sticks, stones, huIlets, etc. So you see, Mr.
Editor, there is no telling what bad whisky
and Radicalism NAV do, or be instrument
tai in doing, when armed and equipped
according TO Brownlow and our recent
Radical Legislature.
The people in the counties Of Claiborne,
Campbell and Anderson are waking up TO
a full sense Of the enorInity and outrage
upon them of n standing army in time Of
of peace. A great many look upon it as
the very means to destroy peace and retard
industry and enterprise in the country, and
bring about 4 state Of bankruptcy, lawless-
ness and general ruin.
The above in regard to the Huntsville
affair Is entirely reliable, 30 far az it goes.
I have seen several Of the boys that were
present and eye-witnesses to the combat.
Yours in haste

AFFAIRS AT SPRIxG HILL.-The letter
which we publish from Spring Hill this
morning, exhibits phase Of Radicallsm
Of the most despicable character. Some
two weeks ago the Press and Times pub
lished statement that loyal houses had
been stoned near Franklin, and that other
ontrages had been perPetrated upon loyal
citizens A few days after, it stated that
subsequent information showed that il
was mistaken; but that the house Of a
Northern school teacher had been
rocked, and that Of Union citizen
treated similarly AT, or near Spring Hin.
These allegations were made in the face
Of the fact that there is not a more quiet,
loyal and law>abiding community in the
State than that at and around Spring
Hill But upon the preiext Of these
statements, a military force is sent post
haste into that quiet community to cons
vince the people that they have no liberty,
and to carry ont the prearranged Radical
programme in the pending canvass.
The letter Of our correspondent, who
is citizen Of great intelligence, and
whose name has never once been before
the public in connection with party poll
ties, assures AS that Their are good reasons
to believe that the Loyal League" perpe
trated the alleged outrages for the pre-
meditated purpose Of giving the State au-
thorities pretext for sending troops to
that point to overawe the community.
A more atrocious conspiracy was never
conceived TO enslave a free people-never
one that called louder for rebuke from
the whole people speaking with one voice,
and that voice rising to the tone and pitch
of seven fold thunder
