THE Calais Me- Adpgtiser, referring to
an account given some three or four years
since, of a man named Seely and his two
sons being burnt up in a lumber camp,
near Magaguadavic, says that it now turns
out that they had dispute with a man by
the name Of Carson about some land, and
that this Carson, considering himself
wronged, out Of revenge, stole into their
camp while they were absent about their
business, and put laudanum into their tea
kettle, and while they were asleep, set fire
to the camp in seveal places, in such
manner "a to prevent escape, and they
were all destroyed. After the deed was
accomplished, Carson went TO California,
where he died a short time ago, and on his
death bed, confessed TO having perpetrated
the above horrible crime.

GOV. BRowNnOw's ADDRESS.

The copioas extracts given on another
page from the address Of Gov Brownlow
TO the so~called loyalists, sufficiently in
dictate its purpose. There was no need of
such paper that we can conceive Of

Chicago, and for that object it is artfully
contrived. Making certain Of his official
acts Of omission and commission the
pretext for an address, he next proceeds
to use his last summers quarrel with
Secretary Fletcher to cultivate crop of
popularity at the North by his defense of
the class known as ''bummers and adyen-
turers" In the same connection he re-

THERE are some Radicals who are not
willing that Grant shall be their candidate
for President. A number of such who are
now in Washington had a meeting on the
10th inst, and after free interchange Of
views, declared in favor of Wade for the
next President. Some of them subsequent
ly called on Messrs. Wade and Wilson.
They say that Wade received them very
cordially, hut gave them no encourage
ment, and that Wilson said, so far as he
was concerned, he stood where the Repub-
lican party of his own State had placed him
ON the platform with Grant.

AN TGNOBLE JUDGE.

Mr. VIM Hunter, Judge of the Crimi-
nal Court at Memphis, by the grace of
Governor Brownlow, is a creature who
has devoted his personal and official in-
auence to stirring up strife in Memphis,
and has perverted his powers as Judge
to the basest purposes This small speci-
men Of Jefreys sneaks away from the
Just Indignation he has aroused, under
the pretense that he is afraid of assassi-
nation. He caused the following order
to be spread upon the records of his
court on the 18th instant:
1T appearing to the court that, in con-
sequence of the continued publications of
a series of false, libelous and seditious ar
ticles which have been published by por-
ton Of the printing press of the city of
Memphis. through a period of several
months, the obvious tendency and design
of which has been TO intimidate the Judge
of this court in the discharge of his official
duty, and 10 so infame the passions of the
people that the process and judgments of
this court cannot be enforced; and il COM
ing to the notice of the court that one of
the offenders in this regard, who had been
committed TO prison under the judg-
ment and order of this court was il.
legally discharged from custody, and
while so at liberty, at late hour on the
night of Friday, the 18th of March, 1868,
ia company with other desperate men,
went 10 the residence of the Judge of this
court for the purpose and with the intent
of efiecting his assassination, because of his
official action; and that this and similar
acts Of violence and outrage are sanctioned
and encouraged by a considerable portion
of the people of this community; and it
further appearing that adequate support
cannot at the present time be obtained to
secure the enforcement of the process and
judgments of the court and il is ordered
that this court stand adjourned until such
time as the obstacles TO its administration
Of Justice shall be removed.
VIM. HUNTER, j ddge."
The court was adjourned to the 18th
of April Such conduct in Judge is
contemplate, and his friends, if he has
any, should advise him never to return
from the privacy into which his cowardly
fears have dragged him.

HOW THE CHARACTER AND CRED
II OF THE STATE AREINIURED

n OF THE STATE ARE INJURED.
The Press and Times is journal that
has never yet risen to the magnanimity
Of giving the people of this State who are
not Radicals the credit of possessing
single impulse in favor of peace and har-
mony. We are not surprised, therefore,
to find that paper making this statement
in regard to Gen. Thomas:
sowing to peculiar circumstances, the
conduct of the maleontents and sedition-
lists Of this State have been his special
study, and he has not spoken at random to
Gen. Grant"
If he did not speak at random, in the
name Of common sense, how did he
speak He relied mainly upon the incO-
herent rawlings of Mr. VIM Bosom for
proof of the charges he brought against
the Conservative people of Tennessee,
when the Judicial records of the State
furnish full and complete refutation of
these charges These spasmodic efforts
in the interest of the Radical party, may
temporarily benefit that party, but they
seriously damaged the character and credit
of the State We are inviting immigra-
ton to Tennessee; we send a Commits
sioner to the North to explain the adyan-
tages Of soil and climate our State poss
sesses; how valuable lands can be bought
at low figures, and how Northern farmers
and manufacturers may improve their con-
ditiOn by locating among us, and how is
he to meet and successfully overcome these
malignant misrepresentation of the peO-
pie of Tennessee? He will be met by
men who would like to invest in this
State and become identified with
us, who will tell him that they are
afraid to trust themselves among this
people, who are represented by General
Thomas and the Press and Times, the
recognized organ at the capital Of the
State government as turbulent, lawless
set, who forcibly resist the civil authority
and are ready to drive "Union men"
(that is, Radicals,) from the State. How
is he to disabuse the fears thus excited
in these menu VIII he not be compelled to
point to facts which disprOve these asser-
tons, and to insure his interrogators that
the so>caled Rebels are high>tOned,
| honorable men, who will do as much to
enforce the laws and uphold the civil
arm of the government in its rightful aue
thority, as their revilers dare to
do Criminals and law-breakers receive
no more encouragement from the people
in Tennessee who sympathized with
the South, than they do from the
Radicals ; and the commissioner who
goes to invite immigration to this
State, will, in justice to the great body OF
the people, be compelled to SO represent
to the Northern man who thinks of max
ing his home among us We thus see
the great injury which these political in
triguers are inaicting upon the material
interests of this State by representing
the people who are not Radicals as mall
contents and seditionists. 1t is time to
rise above these petty resorts of small
politicians, who seek thus to retain Offices
and power and show to those who desire
to become citizens of the State, that we
have law-abiding people, and that they
have nothing to fear from our so-called
Rebels.

RUTLER AND GRANT.

The Grant men, it turns out in Washing
ton, were caught in a trap in voting for
Buffers article of impeachment growing
ont Of the speeches made by the President
during his Western tour. According to a
Washington correspondent, the motive of
this movement was to compel the produc-
ton of testimony exposing such evil
dences of human frailty as were exhibited
on the trip by certain distinguished mem
bers Of the party, anticipating with satisiac-
ton the exposure of a not exemplary
record for the ex-dd interim Secretary of
War. The Presidents circle swinging is

Thence he enters on the Presidential
subject, and after declaring for Gems
eral Grant as the Radical candidate
for the Presidency, expresses the opinion
that unless convicted and disqualified,
Mr.. johnson will be the Democratic
candidate. He urges the deposition of
the President as rabidly as Ashley and
FOrney, and revels in the indulgence Of
his personal spleen towards him And
all this is published to arrest attention TO
himself as present Governor of State
that has a vote at Chicago, and her elected
Senator who is entitled to great con.
sideration; as one who loves Northern
men intensely; who is entirely reliable
on the black issue; and who would be

THE SUPREME COURT.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes under date OF
of the 18th inst. as follows:
The bill which passed in Congress on
Friday last, intended to prevent appeals in
certain cases to the United States Supreme
Court, was delivered to the President at Z
o'clock in the evening of that day, and
consequently the constitutional ten days,
excluding Sunday, allowed to the Presi-
dent for holding the bill, will expire at
Z o'clock on Wednesday evening, the 25th
instant. 1t is well understood that the bill
will be vetoed, but it is not likely that the
President will give the subject his undi
vided attention until his answer in the inn
parchment shall have been presented in
the Senate; so that the veto message can
scarcely be sent to Congress until the Me-
Cardle case shall have been decided. The
decision is expected on Monday, but even
should the decision not be rendered until
after the bill above referred TO becomes a
law, it is the opinion Of reputable lawyers
that the McCardle case cannot be affected
by the law, for the Supreme Court has al
ready obtained jurisdiction of the case, and
must proceed to decide it upon the Consti-
tuition and the laws as they existed when
jurisdiction of the case was acquired.

THE SUICIDAL CAT.

There was man named Furguson,
lie lived on Market street,
He had a speckle6 Thomas Cat,
That couldn't well be beat;
He'd catch more rats and mice and SIGH
Than forty cats could eat.
This cat would come into the room
And climb up on cheer,
And there he'd sit and lick hisself
And purr so awful queer,
That Furguson would yell at him
But still he'd purr-severe.
And then he'd climb the moonlit fence,
And loaf around and yowl,
And spit and claw another cat,
And then they both would shake their tails,
And jump around and howl.
Oh, this here cat Of Furguson's
Was fearful then to see;
He'd yell precisely like he was
In fearful agony;
You'd think first-class stomach-achc
Had struck some small baby.
And all the mothers In the street,
Walked by the horrid din,
Would rise right up and search their babes,
To find some worryin pin;
And still this vigorous cat would keep
A hollerin like sin.
And as for Mr.. Furguson,
Twas more than he could bear,
And so he hurled his boot-jack out,
Right through the midnight air;
But this vociferous Thomas Cat
Not one cent did he care.
For still he yowled and kept his fur
A standing up on end,
And his old spine doublin' up
As far as IL would bend,
As If his hopes Of happiness
Did on his lungs depend.
But while curvin' Of his spine,
And waiting to attack
A cat upon the other fence,
There came an awful crack;
And this here speckled Thomas Cat,
Was busted in the back.
When Furguson came down next day,
There lay his old feline,
And not life was left in him,
Although he had had nine.
"All this has come." said Furguson,
"Of curvin' of his spine."
Now all We RAIDS whose tender hearts
This painful tale does rack,
just take this moral to yourselves,
All of you, white and black;
Don't ever go, like this here cat,
To gettin' up your back.
