Plain and Pointed.

There is no ambiguity about the
position of the Lebanon Herald
and Register. 1t says:
"There is left, in our opinion,
but one course for our people to
pursue-discharge every negro
hand on your farm who has voted
the Radical ticket, and fill his
place with a white man; with
draw your patronage Immediately
from every man, woman, or child,
black or white, who avows himself
"a Radical. IF this is done, we
will at once see the effect
Iof this good work. We speak
with no uncertain voice. The
time for action has arrived, and it
remains for our people to say
whether they will remain the
slaves of the party now in power,
or will come out boldly in defense
of their freedom"
The Nashville Gazette is equally
explicit. We quote:
"Let US determine, fully and I'M
equivocally, come veal or woe, that
we will not buy cents worth of
goods from a Radical merchant,
have our boots manufactured by a
Radical shoemaker, employ a Rad
ical mechanic, ride in a Radical
colored hack, shave IN a Radical
barber shop, send our children to
Radical teacher, attend a Radio
al church, employ a Radical SER
want, or in fact, have anything
whatever to do or to say to any
one who is Radical, or who refu-
ses US equal rights with himself
In the State and General Govern
ment. The money in this coun-
try is in the hands of Conservative
men, and by all means let them
keep it amongst themselves; and
if there is one amongst us who is
so eowardly and SO void of man
hood as to be unwilling to enter
into the determination, let the bal
ance Of us look down upon him as
too mean and too contemplate for
our association, and class him also
with the vilest and the most degra-
ded and infamous association on
earth-the Radicals"

The Golden Age.

The Knoxville Wing says This
is the "Golden Age" in the his
tory of Tennessee. The Wing
tells the truth. The Wing knows
what it is talking about. 1t re-
fers, in its statement, of course,
to the pay drawn by the Legisla-
ture. They made this golden
age. They repudiated green
backs. They wouldn't touch them
although Congress, in which is
''our hope" had made the afore-
said greenbacks legal tender
They, that is to say the Radical
Legislature, demanded the gold
for their patriotic services. Hence
we say the Wing has simply ex-
pressed the truth in designating
this as the Golden Age" How
much gold do you get for your
corn, or your wheat, or your po'
tatoes, Mr.. Farmer?-KnoruiHe

vative side would let loose. On
either hand, the look out for Ten
nessee is gloomy. Passion rules the
hour, and already good men real
izing that bad civil government is
worse than decent military govern
ment stretch out their hands to Con-
gress, and pointing to Virginia and
South Carolina, say: Make US
like one of these May Provi-
hence reserve better things for
this beautiful State, torn by dis
sensions and rent by many devils. |"
The fear that he expresses has
little foundation, but in any event
the danger will continue to in
crease with the lapse of time
Two-thirds of the people can not
be kept in subsection forever, and
their bitterness of heart and .dis-
position to retaliate will only he
increased by long deprivation of
the rights already extended to
their former slaves.

A MOnstrous Fee.

Some time ago, John Lellyett,
Chairman of the Executive Com.
mittee of the Middle Division of
the Conservative State Central
Committee of Tennessee, publish
ed a sort of manifesto, in which
he stated, and seemed to prove,
that VIM. FL. Wisener, a lawyer of
Bedford county in Tennessee, had
drawn from the State Treasury
the enormous sum of $500 for
fees as counsel for the State in two
cases brought before the Supreme
Court one the Bank case, the
lother to test the Constitutional
ty OF the State franchise law. Mr..
Lellyett further states that in one
of these cases that of the Bank
Mr.. W. did not appear at all, the
case being conducted throughout
by two other lawyers-Messrs.
East and Harrison, the former Of
whom received $500, and the lat
ter $3.50, for their services. In
the second case Mr.. Wisener
handed into the court written
brief.
We have looked in vain for q
denial or explanation Of this mat
ter which might be satisfactory to
our readers. The disloyal press
has copied the statement widely,
and used it as an argument to pre-
judice the public mind against the
loyal State government of Ten
nessee. Generally the finances
of that State have been admins
tered by Gov. Brownlow, judicious-
| ly, economically and with care i;
but if Mr.. Wisener has plundered
the treasury of the struggling
and impoverished State in the
manner and to the extent repre-
scented by.Mr. Lellyett, he has COW
cred himself with disgrace which
he will find it difficult Ito shake
off; has been meanly and avari-
ciously grasping and unpatriotic,
land should have had his claim
secuted by the honest State au-
thorities of Tennessee as a mon
strous and preposterous swindle.

FiIlibuSterS.

The New York Herald says
that during the past week regu-
lar meetings have been held by
the sympatbisers of Macmillan
at a certain hotel up town on
Broadway, which has hitherto
borne the reputation of being de-
voted to the Southern party
Here all the arrangements of the
expeditionary force, which is
mostly composed of men who
have served in the late Confede-
rate army, have been maturing;
and it is believed that in a few
days at most the corps will put
out. Whether they propose going
by sea and landing at Vera Cruz
or Matamoras, or crossing the
Rio Grande, is not yet known,
although it is doubtless already
determined by the leaders.
The same paper says editorially:
cit is only those that fail that
are fillibusters. II any one shall
succeed in the conquest of Mexico
he will not be a fillibuster, but a
hero. 1t is the same with flIibus.

Governor Harris, who sold them
into the rebellion, demanded and
drew his salary as Governor IN
gold. Official record proves it.

the Tennessee farmers who have
served their country faithfully,
and the Tennessee soldiers who
fought valiantly for the Union,
remember that while they were
being paid in GREENBACKs, at a
discount of 80 to 40 per cent, the
Radical members of the last Leg
islature demanded, and voted and
drew their per diem in GOLD
thus abstracting from the Treasury
S. 60 per day instead of 81 90,

A Radical Jeremy Diddler
Shown Up.
Ito the Editor of the Banner.]

ITothe Editor of the Banner.l
FAYETTEVILLE, July Is, 1867.
Your letter has been received.
The only reply | can make, is
that Kercheval was such "small
potatoes" that be attracted very
little notice in this community,
but what he did and said favored
the South.
In the first place he belonged
to the first company that was
raised in this county. This was
in March, 1861, and he held the
rank of a Lieutenant. When the
company was increased, the mem
bers called for new reorganiza-
ton in which Kercheval knew
that he would be defeated in case
he tried to retain his rank; SO he
retired from the company in disgust
About July 6, 1861, he wrote
a letter to one of Col. Turney's
regiment, stationed in Virginia,
from which letter l will give you
an extract. If he denies the
charge, you can have the original
at any time:
He first blesses or asks God to
bless those kind ladies in Virginia
who were attending to the soldiers.
He further states that he and 9th.
ers had written to the Captain of
lClark's company, then in Virgin
la, to see if they could get in and
procure passports, but that he had
received no answer, and that they
were then prevailed on by friends
to stay here, as they might be of
more service at home. He further
states that he has been elected
Major in the militia, and will, per-
haps, have to 60 into East Tennes-
see to thrash out Andy Johnson
and his crew, as they were taking
sides with Mr.. Lincoln.
| have another letter written
by him to the same person, d. W.
Clark, of Col. Turney's regiment.
This is dated December 5th, 1861,
| in which he says that the tocsin of
war still continues to ring, and
summons the noble and chivalric
sons of the South to the battle
field. He mentions the names of
lsome who were SO unpatriotic as
to wait for the draft of the militia,
lcensures them very much, and
asks what can we think of such
men? He closes by hoping if they
have a fight with the Yankees,
that they will give them thunder,
and that they will whip them out,
and return home safe-saying i:
I"You all have our most sincere
and good wishes in the accomplish
ment OF the object for which you
went to fight"
Kercheval was always consid-
cred an advocate Of the cause of
the South, but, from his very in
significance, had no influence a.
mong the people. He left US in
the fall of 1862, when the con-
script law began to be enforced.
His fight was not from Union pro-
clivities, but from pure cowardice.
IF you wish the original letters
from which l have given you ex-
tracts, you can get them at any
time, as it is pleasure to me to
afford you any assistance in the
cause of law and justice.
Yours truly, L. l.. ALLEN.

Five Years Ago and Now

Five Years Ago and NOW !!
Last week we asserted and
proved that Mr.. John Carey, the
Loyal League candidate for the
Legislature, did, in 1861, volunta-
rily contribute money to aid in
equipping soldiers for the Rebel
army. To-day we propose show
ing, from the record, that Mr.. Ca
regis subsequent career, as a public
officer, was for a year or more,
strictly in accordance with what
we would expect from a Rebel
sympathizer.
At the Special May term, 1861,
of the County Court, there were
present, the minutes show, ma
jority of the Justices of the Peace
of the county, among whom we
find the name of John Carey. At
this time, May 9th, about four
hundred soldiers had left here for
the Virginia Rebel army, and ap-
prehensions were felt and express
ed, that unless the families of in
digent volunteers were assisted,
much suffering would ensue, and
Soldiers would be induced to aban-
don "the cause" and come home
to provide for those who were de-
pendent upon them. The Rebel
forces would thus be weakened, a
bad example set, and discipline IN
juriously affected. Toprevent SO
disastrous a result, the County
Court-we quote from the minutes
proceeded to assess a tax 10
provide a fund for the relief and
support of INDECENT families of
absent volunteers, and it being
moved that tax of three cents
he levied on each one hundred
dollars worth of real estate, per-
sonal property, money at interest,
and all other taxable property at
valuation, for said purpose, ao1tich
motion acas carried UNANIMOUSLY"
john Carey, remember, being
present.
1t has become quite common
with some of the Radicals to plead
coercion in abatement of their
Rebel record. But even admitting
which we do not, from our
knowledge-that any man was
compelled to give money to, or
vote for, the Rebel cause, no one
has ever claimed, we believe, that
office was forced upon anybody.
Well, in January, 1862, Mr.. John
Carey, who was a Justice of the
Peace, as we have said, was elected
one of the Quorum Justices of the
Court, at liberal salary. No one
ssforced" him to accept the station,
mind you, with its per diem of
four dollars-he could take it or
let it alone. He chose to accept.
This, lett be remembered, was nine
months after troops had publicly
left here for the Rebel army in
Virginia, and Gtae, Tennessee had
become a Rebel State by passing
the ordinance of secession. Ses-
sions of the Court were held in
January, February, and March,
under Rebel rule, at each of which
Mr.. Carey attended, and signed
the minutes as Quorum Justice.
On Wednesday, April 9th, the
Federals took possession of Fay
etteville and held it until Septem-
Der, when they retreated to the
Ohio river. The Court. which
had not met since March, on ac-
