In said townships, on
SATURDAY, AUGUST oath, 1867,

w Voters should remember that
the plan of the copperheads to pay
off the public debt by the issue of
three billions of currency, is only the
first step in their pet scheme of re-
pudiation. The accomplishment of
this plan would render "greenbacks"
so utterly yalueless, that repudia-
ton would follow as q natural re-
suit. Reputation of the public
debt is the end they are aiming at,
aud this ''plan" OF paying it is sim
ply the means they are using to ac-
complish repudiation.

H The famous Surratt trial has
finally come to an end. The jury
came into court, on Saturday, and
announced disagreement, with no
hope of making a verdict, and were
then discharged. They stood eight
for acquittal and four for conviction.
After the discharge of the jury,
Judge Fisher called attention to the
outrageous conduct of the Attorney
for the prisoner, Mr.. Bradley, who,
during the progress of the case, had
committed personal assault on the
Judge, and announced the dismissal
of the Attorney from the bar. Mr..
Bradley declared that all the Judges
statemen were false, and shortly af-
terwards sent him a challenge. The
affair created great excitement in
Washington.

R- Judge Thurman, in his speech
at Portsmouth, took occasion to cast
slur upon the colored troops, as of
no service in the suppression of the

(Thurman) was too far from the
front to decide upon that question.

~ During the late canvass in
Tennessee, Mr.. Etheridge, the "Con-
servate" candidate for Governor,
had an appointment to speak at
Jacksboro, Campbell Co, but was
prevented from doing so by the
Union men of that locality. The
reason for their action is given in the
following extract by correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette. Who
will say, in view of the treatment
they received from the rebels, they
were wrong. We shall not.
With about 1900 voters, this little
mountain county, sent nearly 1900
soldiers into the Union army. While
these were absent, fighting and suf-
rering under their country's flag, the
rebel Gen. Hindman sent a detach-
ment from Knoxville, under com
mand of Vaughn, to lay waste the
county. Finding only women,
children and men over seventy in
Campbell, these bloody marauders
proceeded with their work The
county was ravaged from end to end
Two hundred houses were burned,
and the helpless women and child
rem driven into the woods to starye
At one the rebels found the head OF
the family, an old and feeble man
Him they shot on his own threshold,
then closed the doors upon the 9th
er members of the family, set the
house on fire, and listened to the hor-
rid shrieks Of their victims as they
were roasting in the famesi The
Union soldiers returned to their des.
olate homes, and to such of their
families as rebel bullets, fire and
starvation had spared, and standing
around the ashes of their dwellings,
and the unburied bones OF their loved
ones, they swore that.no rebel speech
should ever henceforth be made in
their county And l presume that,
except at the point of the bayonet,
there never will. 1t was in pursu-
ance of this VOW that Mr.. Etheridge |
was not permitted to speak at Jacks
bero.

E 1t is stated that one Of the
causes of the late rapture between
the President and the Secretary of
War. was the refusal of Mr.. Stanton
to assign to militia company of
Maryland, composed mainly of rebel
officers and soldiers, battery of
light guns for which they had ap-
piled. The President is said to have
directed him to furnish the battery,
but Mr.. Stanton declined, anil still
refuses to do so.

To the President.
Later-Stanton Suspended-Gen.
Grant Acts Temporarily.

TTelegraphic Cor. Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. II.
The President this morning wrote
an order suspending Secretary Stan
ton from exercising his duties as
Secretary of War, under the provis-
ions of the second section of the
Civil Tenure Act, and directed him
to turn over the department to Gen
eral Grant. This was sent to Mr.
Stanton this morning at the War De-
partment. After he read it, he sent
written protest, earnestly and bit
terly controverting the action of the
President, and closing by saying that
he yields only to superior force.
This was at once communicated to
the Executive.
Following the order suspending
MIR. Stanton, written order was
sent to General Grant, detailing him
to act as Secretary of War ad interim.
By this time there was consider
able excitement among the Numerous
officials at the army headquarters and
the War Department, and the latter
persisted in declaring tn at Mr.. Stan
ton had sent his resignation to the
President, but this of course was un-
true. In the meantime, he renamed
at his desk In the War Department.
General Grant soon entered, bearing
the Presidents letter, requesting him
to act as Secretary of War, tempo
rarily, and held a conference with
Mr.. Stanton. The result was, that
General Grant commenced at once
to act as Secretary of War, and soon
after attended the Cabinet meeting
Mr.. Stanton will remain suspended
until the Senate meets to act upon
the charges preferred by the Presi-
dent, and to sustain or reject them.
as required by the terms of the Civil
Tenure Act. He adheres to his
usual rule and refuses to furnish a
copy of his protest for publication.
At the writing of this dispatch,
the President had not decided to
give copy of his order suspending
the Secretary to the press, but it is
learned that it briefly recItes the
cause in the premises, but does not
contain the detailed charges which
the President will send to the Senate
in November.
General Steedman is generally
mentioned for Secretary of War, it
being the intention of the Presi-
dent to have Grant to act Temporal
rily. He is called on because there
is 10 Assistant Secretary of War.

We give these facts, although
hardly pertinent to the campaign in
