On several occasions violence has been
threatened against Joseph f. Williams, a
coIored Conservative of this city. He
has been followed from place to place,
open threats Of assassination made, his
footsteps have been logged, his home dis
turbed at late hours at night, and he has
been subjected to all manner of annoy
ance and persecution, short of immediate
and bloody violence. Within few days
the same system has been adopted to-
wards Isaac Duncan, another colOred
Conservative of high standing in the COM
munity. 1t is scarcely necessary to add
that these prosecutions proceed from the
despicable tools of Radicalism, and that
the only cause for it is, that these men,
in the Just exercise of their free thought
and judgment, are for the cultivation OF
the feelings of justice and amity between
the two races-are opposed to proscriP-
ton OF the whites, and for emancipating
them from the despotism which Brown
lowism seeks to impose. Ii is for this
that peaceful, law-abiding and loyal
black men are derided, prosecuted and
threatened. If they were not as courage
GUS as they are just and patriotic, they
would have been silenced and driven
from their ground before this. But for
tunately they are too brave to be intimi
dated, and are determined to assert their
rights at any personal hazard
We learn from the Memphis papers
that the same course has been Inaugural
ted in that city towards the fearless col
ored adherents of Conservatism. One
of them, A. n. Thomas, was violently as
sailed on Saturday last, by FIVE armed
black rufians, while quietly sitting on
the stoop of his own house, only for his
opinions sake.
We have every reason to believe that
white men of the vilest type inspire these
creatures to these lawless deeds. A short
time since a statement appeared in a
Memphis paper, on the authority of
several respectable colo7ed BARRIERS, that
oaths to murder blacks who dared to 60
against BrownIow, were administered in
their secret midnight clubs Ii is posi-
bic the same system is pursued here, and
that all the preliminary steps are being
taken to reduce these hellish obligations
to practice. 1t is difficult to bring these
matters before the courts; and if there
is any Radical of influence and decency
in the community, it is his duty to exer-
else that influence TO suppress this vio-
lence. l. is dangerous to the peace of
the whole community No Conservative
has undertaken to control the negro vote
by intimid alton or violence 1t would
not be surprising if they should oppose
it in others--or if they should stand
ready to protect and defend their friends
from these vicious assaults when made.

rIRINc THE RADICAL HEART.

The Press and Times has inaugurated
a species of bushwhacking in politics. 1t
plays the game of the scuttle-fsh to per-
lection fits parry happens to be guilty
of something very bad, as the shooting
Of an unoGending citizen in Franklin
county, recently, the Press and Times is
very apt to make a grand discovery and
raise a terrible noise, under cover of
which its own party may escape the just
indignation of the people of the State
One Of its efforts in this line is worthy of
note While attention was directed to
the outrages Of Rickman's loyal militia
in Franklin county, the Press and Times,
by some unexplained means, discovered
that there was "reign Of terror in Mad
ison county" the particulars of which
are given in that paper of the Sth inst
as follows
"A dismal state of things exists in the
county of Madison, which gave in 1861 only
twenty votes against secession, and 1854
votes for it. The negroes have been threat
ened, bullied and outraged by the Rebels
until general terror prevails among them.
They are threatened with all kinds of
violence il they dare to attend a Union
meeting. or support Gov. Brownlow. Plan
tiers threaten TO drive them from their
homes, and the poor people dare moi utter
a word for fear of their lives. When In
company with persons whom they know to
be their friends, aud in whose prudence
they have confidence, they declare them
selves in favor Of the Republican ticket, but
further than this they dare not 60. This is
fair sample of Rebel intolerance. Madi-
son and Obion counties are illustrations Of
what the whole State would be if brought
under Rebel rule. We must meet these
difficulties in a resolute manner, and voters
must be protected by whatever force is
necessary. Union men shall be protected
in every county in Middle and West Ten
nessee"
We have here an evidence Of the
manner in which the necessity for the
loyal militia is created, but the Jack
son Wing of the 18th inst pricks this
bubble in a style somewhat more en-
phatic than elegant Says that paper
There is not a man in this county,
white, black, or Radical, who does not
know the above statement TO be a base
falsehood. There is not a Radical in the
county, unprincipled as many Of them are,
who will endorse the SANDER There is no
reign Of terror in this county, but perfect
quietude-the people, white and black, are
az work-no excitement on the subject of
politics whatever; no threats OF violence

ing Union meetings. ISLANDERS like the
above, are daily circulated through pros
ntu'ed press for the purpose Of influencing

ON THE OPENING OF BILLIARD
Room it is generally the custom, as every
one knows, to have several champions present to
entertain the public FOR FEW HOURS; but on
we thought proper to give the orphans of this
city and poor of Chattanooga that benefit, which
we have done for the last two weeks. And
again, as it is sometimes the custom of giving
premiums, such rs watches, etc, and having
proof of the last two weeks business that the
citizens of Nashville appreciate our efforts TO
help the needy, we have therefore concluded to
Nashville, from the LIST day of April, 1867, up to
October LIST, 1867, tsix mOnths) which amount
will be RENTED weekly to the Mayor of Nash
vile. We hope that the amateur billiard play
ers and the public in general will appreciate the
cause and sustain it.

solemn conviction. That he would de-
stroy the liberty OF his country, il he
could successfully accomplish such u
crime, is evident TO all the world. But
he cannot ruin, he can simply disgrace,
the Republic. And yet, in saying this,
let us not, in any degree, under-esti-
mate the public peril. Better prepare
for the worst possible contingency.
Certainly we heartily sympathize with
the idea of convention of loyal gov
ernors. Such convention, II full of
pluck, might render the country an IL
iustrious service. We have only one
apprehension in view of its assembling
-nnd that Is this: The so-called Radi-
cal governors Who met at the Southern
Loyalists' Convention in Philadelphia
exhibited II degree of cOwHrdice which,
If il were to be re exhibited now, would
only encourage, and not intimidate. the
renegade Of the White House. II our
governors did not NIL expect TO be seua-
tors, aud if at least half n dozen of them
did not confidently hope 10 be on the
ticket for the next -presidedcy, we
should bs reasonably sure that their
meeting would be public benefit.
But if on their gathering together,
they shall find themselves afraid to de-
Inand the impeachment OF the Presi-
dent, and shall be simply inclined TO
follow the halfway policy of General
Grant, they might as well save their
travelling expenses, and stay Mt home.
Meanwhile, il Andrew Johnson
makes an attempt al war against the
Republic, let him be tried by court
martial, and shot by twelve soldiers, in
