NEGROES FOR OFFICE.

To the Editors of the Unien and Dispatch.
NASHVILLE, June 17.-Gentlemen In
your issue of yesterday, quoting from my
address to the people relative to my
proposition to nominate and elect some of
the best cOlored men to positions in the
city government, you comment as follows:
why not make this test in the Leglsla~
ture? The negroes have large majority
of the registered voters in this county, and
why not elect two, or even thee, o. their
prominent men to the very body that ex-
cluded them from Office, and, if they are
denied seats, the right of such denial can
be adjudicated before the court Why
propose a paltry Office in the city govern
ment when the 'honors' of the Legislature
may be conferred ?"
Permit me to say, in reply to your ques-
tions, that l and the party with which l
am acting, would willingly have made the
test which you suggest, but could not make
il available. The State constitution pro-
vides that each branch of the Legislature
shall be judge "of the qualifications and
election of its members" limited only by
the restrictions of the constitution and the
laws. The present franchise act having
the binding force of a constitutional pro-
vision, excludes colored men from Office :;
hence, colored men elected to the Legisla-
ture would be necessarily excluded. After
such exclusion, there is no way to get the
question before the courts without bring
ing on a conflict between the judicial and
legislative departments of the State gov
eminent, as in the case of Judge Fra
zier, recently impeached Natural
ly, we wished TO avoid acts that
might lead to such consequences, or
that might be construed into desire topro-
woke trouble The issue proposed to be
made in the city election is not clogged
with these drawbacks.
When Judge Lawrence declined the
candidacy, there was plan to offer to the
people for Congress Rev. w. w. Mallory,
a colored man of fine natural capacity, of
excellent education, of refinement, and of
spotless character gentleman who would
have honored this district in the national
legislature. The idea of running Mr. Nal
lory was abandoned only after it was dis
covered that portion of the colored voters
thought the proposition immature and i'm.
polite at this time. Had unanimity pre-
vailed in this matter, he would to-day have
been candidate in the field receiving my
hearty support.
l and those who act with me are in
earnest in endeavoring to secure for the
colored man all the rights and privileges
which the white man enjoys. II, with an
equality of rights and privileges under the
laws the colored man, in any case, excels
the white man, then it will be because he
is the superior man. If the colored man,
with these equal advantages, falls behind
the white man in the race of life, it will be
because he is the inferior man. But, in all
events, give each an equal chance,
d. II. MASON.

THE CANVASS-A GOOD ACCOUNT
FROM WILLIAMSON.

Correspondence of the Union and Dispatch.
This has been what We call large day
in this village. F. I. Fairbanks, ESQ.,,
Conservative nominee for Floater in this
district, addressed the people here to day.
A large crowd of both white and black
were present and gave excellent attention
to his speech. Mr.. Fairbanks spoke about
one hour and a half, covering the whole
issues at stake before the country. His
arguments were plain, practicable and forci-
bic. His speech had telling effect upon
the colored people. They need honest,
upright, practical and responsible men to
tell the truth to them. They have been so
long deluded with Radical fabrication
that they are ready now to listen and
hearken to the words of soberness and
truth. Mr.. Fairbanks is a bold, decided
man, exactly suited to the occasion and we
doubt not will run so far ahead of his
opponent next August, that the poor, mis-
cradle offspring of the human, the exponent
of no creed and representative of no party,
will scarcely have friends enough left to
inter- his " defunct corpus"
At the close of Mr.. Fairbanks speech,
Mr.. John Bond, of this place, was loudly
called for He responded in brief and
elegant speech. He ridiculed the Radical
idea of conhscation most merCilessly; de-
clared that the loyal leagues were partizan
organizations dangerous toliberty, and their
nightly gatherings, when honest men were
wrapt in slumber proved their purposes to
be dark and evil. He then ventilated Mr..
BrownloW's record with master hand
that cut to the bone at every thought
The crowd was quiet and orderly. The
cOlored people of this section are peaceable
and well disposed and so far the damna-
bic heresies" of Radicalism have been
unable to make them criminals. A.

ALMOST A DUEL AND IT'S RESULTS The
duello is one of the pleasant passtimes of
Vicksburg. They are very belligerent
there but seldom ever kill any one. A
challenge passed between G. c. Doane and
j. W. Bourne, to meet at Young's Point,
and settle point of wounded honor by
looking at each other through the sights of
a double-barrelled shotgun. Bourne, in
his efforts to be at this social gathering, rode
down three horses, walked eight miles in
the sun, and then worked his way in a skiff
TO the point of meeting. Doane having
remained on the ground till the time of
meeting had expired, left for Vicksburg as
Bourne was rounding to in his skiff Then
a chase back to the heroic city, and Bourne
writes to Doane, giving his reasons for fail
ing to come to time, and proposing TO ac-
commodate him at any time and place.
Doane responds, through his next friend,
that he could not consider any neU affair
:ill the old one was settled Bourne writes
to Doane's second, urging an interview
Doane declines to notice the proposition be-
cause it does not come through a proper
channel. Thus ended miserable attempt

A REMARKABLE EsCAPE.--During the
performance of the japanese troupe at the
Academy of Music, in New York, little
Hill Right" who is but little boy, had
climbed rope to the dome of the prosce-
MUM and sliding down the rope, it snapped
asunder, letting him fall full fifty feet to the
floor of the middle aisle below. The boy
was very much bruised, but it is remark
able that not single bone was broken-he
was recovering fast the next day. That
fall would have killed any other animal in
the world except cat Or japanese.

Nh Mason replies to our inquiry as to
why the constitutionality of "the odious
and unjust sixteenth section of the pre-
sent franchise law should not be tested
in an election to the Legislature instead
Of the city government, that it could not
be done without bringing on a conhic
between the judicial and Legislative de-
partments Of the State government, as in
the case Of Judge Frazier, recently i'm
peached' The Legislature has passed a
law, one section of which these Radicals
denounce as "odious and unjust, but
having placed themselves in an awkward
position in order to secure the impeach-
ment of Judge Frazier, they lack the
manliness to attack this "odious and un~
Just restriction at its source In their
view, right must give place to expedien-
CIV. The Legislature may commit a
fragrant wrong, as it is claimed 1t has
done in this case, yet that body must
remain unmolested in its iniquity. Was
ever so monsrous a doctrine proclaimed

" A well authenticated story is in circula-

American female shoddyite, who recently
at an audience to the Pope of Rome, to the
surprise of every one present, stepped for
ward upon the entrance of His Holiness,
and with the peculiar usual twang of the
New England States, thus spoke: How

naturally and to appreciate the joke, while
the Federal Americans present were quite
overwhelmed with feelings of modification
and disgust To others the scene was one

bars ignobly trailing in the dust The
proposition was submitted to one of the
most prominent and influential colored
marshals, who, when he heard it, suffered

These figures may surprise you, bnt they
represent the solid facts.
From the Report of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, it appears that Glass is man.
ufactured in Is States of the Union, and that
of the whole amount Pittsburgh makes one
third. And this is not the leading branch OF
manufacture here, but stands the third OF
fourth in commercial Importance, and amount
of capital employed.
There are great manyyof branches manu-
facture of less magnitude carried on here very
successfully, which in the aggregate shows re.
suits not excelled, l think, by any city on the
Continent.
At the present time there is great depression
in trade here as elsewhere, and most of the
rolling mills nail mills, oil refineries, and many
other manufacturing establishments have sus-
pended operations; but should no monetary
panic intervene, the opening of Spring, with
the resumption of river navigation, will wit
ness a general revival of business, and the usu.

for fifteen to twenty-five cents, which shows
plainly the comparison of the two sorts.
