Ia The Kingston East TeRnesseean
Of the 2Sd, Radical paper, gives an
account Of a difficulty on Monday pre-
vious between 10. Alexander, militia
captain, and one of the citizens. Alex
auder had just received a commission
and had his men mustered in, aud hav-
ing a grudge against one S. Wires, be
proceeded at once with bis fifty militia
men to wreak his private vengeance.
Wires was arrested, taken before Alex
ander, and, after numerous insults, was
ordered to eat grass Wires refusing to
obey, Alexander directed the bsyonei
used on him, aud he was considerably
punetured, but still refused TO obey.
Finally, on the remonstrance of some
Of the citizens Wires being released, he
got out a warrant, but Alexander would
not suffer himself arrested. The Sheriff
Of the county intends enforcing the ar
rest and. in justice to the Radical psper
aforesaid, be it remembered that said
paper suggests the dismissal, by Brown
low. Of this redoubiable Captain.

S6r In view of tbe fact that, at the
opening of the present canvass, there
was feeling of encouragement on the
part of the Conservatives and that the
impression prevailed strongly that
Brownlow would be elected, while few
only thought there was good ground to
hope for the election of Etheridge; the
Columbia Times of the Goth has some
encouraging statements, and indicates il
as the majority opinion among Con-
servatives in that quarter, that Brownlow
cannot avoid defeat if he allows the
present registration to stand. Thirteen
counties he has already thrown out, being
such as were likely to vote for Etheridge.

pG- The Black Republican, malignant
Washington Chronicle is particularly
anxious to have the inquiry made
whether Kentucky, Maryland and Della
ware have State governments republican
in form; aud says that public sentiment
in Kentucky and Maryland proves be-
yond doubt that these States need recon
struction as much as Virginia or South
Carolina. And to this the Evansville
Journal, equally rabid, adds; There is
a growing sentiment among the genuine
Union men Of Kontucky in favor Of EN-
bracing that State in the operations Of
the Military Reconstruction act. and it's
doubtless in conformity to this feeling
that this subject has been referred to tho
judiciary Committee for investigation
and report They claim that although
Kentucky may never have technically
withdrawn from the Union, it did so
practically. as fully as other Southern
States; and that the mass of the people
are as rebellious as South Carolina or
Mississippi, and as badly need recon
structiou."
10 response to all this the Louisville
Courier says: aian f.aL -.
at is hardly necessary TO discuss the
question as TO whether our Government
is republican in form. 1t is enough that
men like Clay and Crittendeu lived
under, and were satisfied with it; and it
is altogether probable they knew quite as
much about genuine republicanism as
Jacobin editors and Congressman. When
these fellows talk Of State governments
not being republican in form they mean
Black Republican.

No. The ehairmen of the different
committees in the city, both on the Radi
cal and Conservative sides, have recon-
mended that, at the ensuing election,
temporary buildings should be erected
for voting places, to avoid being crowded,
and that the whites should vote in the
first, third, sixth and seventh wards and
the blacks in the second, fourth, fifth and
eighth wards also that proper challen'
gers should be appointed, and the tickets
stamped to prevent double voting. We
do not see how more judicious arrange
ments could have been made, and we
hope that with all the prudent precau-
tons taken the peace will be preserved,
and the election conducted fairly and
satisfactorily to all. Nothing could be
more essential to the welfare Of the city
and to the best interests of every inhab.
liant, white and black. And we pray
every respectable man, by every word
and act on that day, to do all he can to
bring about consummation so devoutly

s6y- In the canvass in Kentucky now
in progress the Radicals are rather willy
and reticent, generally Ignoring the
matter of negro suffrage to which the
party is committed. But they know it is
impossible to carry it in that State, and,
therefore, the Radical candidates deal
with other matters to the exclusion of
this. But one of them, Mr.. William
Brown, and another only named as "a
distinguished candidate for State
office" have been outspoken. The
Louisville Courier clearly shows the
well.known fact that the party has
favored negro suffrage, and that these
men are authorized and wellinformed
opponents of its policy. What is uni
formly avowed here by Radicals has to
be proved on them in Kentucky in order
to avoid many persons being deceived by
their strategy. The Courier says:
1--WE have more than once given it as
our belief that many persons in this State
we're acting with the Radical party
through Misrepresentation of its doc
trines. We cannot conceive 1t possible
that any considerable number of Ken
tuckians wish to prostitute the ballot in
the manner proposed. While our late
slaves should be protected in all their
rights, the correct and almost unanimous
sentiment of our people is that they
should not be admitted to political equal
ity. Such has been our opinion. The
time has now como when its correctness
| is to be demonstrated. With such evil
dences as are before the people, no candid
man can longer deny that the Radical par
ty iseommilted to negro suffrage. Those,
therefore, who vote for its candidates on
the first Monday in August, will do so
with their eyes open. By that act they
will declare for negro suffrage and negro
equality. By that act they will say that
a white mans government does not sat-
isfy them, but that they wish the laws so
changed as to make negro voters, negro
jurors, negro legislators, negro Govern
ors and negro congressman.
1--WE call upon all who prefer the white
man government which our fathers gave
us, to unite with the Democracy in saving
Kentucky and the nation from the mon
grel abomination Of the Radicals.
THERE'S no doubt whatever that all this
will be done, and probably by fifty OF
more thousand majority. The only ques
ton is how great the majority will be.
