rRYoITrENING rmE GovERNoR.

WV AfANANO1~e
Somebody who knows how easily Gov,
Brownlow is frightened, has been playing
unan his fears. The Knoxville Wing OF
the 9TH inst says
ave, the Senior Editor, have received,
at sundry times, threatening letters from
the Ku-Klux Khan, some addressed to
Knoxville and others 10 Nashville, as if
determined that these missiles shall net
fail TO reach our eye. The documents con-
tain numerous threats Of personal violence,
and threaten as with certain death, being
accompanied with pictures Of cofhps, dag
gers, pistols, and the gallows"
We seriously question whether, if there
be such an organization as the Ku-Klux
Khan, any member Of that body had any
thing to do with writing or sending these
letters. They were evidently sent by
some misehievous parties who desired to
Brighten the feeble and irritable old man.
There is nothing serious about them, for
men who intend serious work do not 60
about it in this silly manner. The writers
have now accomplished their purpose,
and the Governor may safely ENJOY the
broken slumbers yonchsafed 70 HIM. 1t
is wonderful how this old man, tottering
on the brink Of the grave can work him.
self up into towering passion over incl
dents of so trivial character that
good and brave men would scorn to give
them a moments thought Here is the
Governor Of the State Of Tennessee, who
is safely within his castles walls, hum
dreds of miles away from the capital, re-
ceiving few anonymous letters which
he fancies-as old men in their dotage
win fancy-that they breathe spirit Of
rebellion, and in a wall Of despair and re-
yenge he exclaims
1--WE alike despise the threats and the
thfeateners, and we say TO them and 20 all
who are backing them up, that il they
want 10 bring on another war to go ahead
and do 80. johnson will not always be
President 10 protect and encourage them ;
but Grant or some other equally sound man
will occupy the chair now dishonored by
the accidental occupant. And, mark what
we saw, il the Union army Of the North is
ever compelled 10 come down here again,
10 suppress another shareholders rebellion,
they will make clean work of it. There
will be no necessity, then, Of counting the
number Of rails destroyed, or calculating
the value Of timber used up they will
clean out all as they go. No disloyal men
will be left TO complain of their losses and
bad treatment To such state of affairs
every loyal man in the country will say
amen"
This is the spirit which the Reverend
Governor Of Tennessee has displayed tos
ward his political opponents during the
past three years He hates this people
because they oppose his administration,
and hence he threatens them with the
sword and the torch, that they may be
exterminated This is a favorite "argu-
ment' with him to silence opposition, but
his rawlings are "full of sound and fury
signifying nothing" This people pity
the poor old man, and would not harm a
hair Of his head.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
The Charge OF Conspiracy Refuted-A
Vent for Ihe Excluded ImPeachers'
EIoQuenee.
Special to the Louisville Courier.

EIOQuence.
Special to the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The court to-
day again refused to alter the rule provid-
ing for two concluding arguments on each
side in the trial.
To-day has been devoted entirely to the
receipt of documentary evidence, excepting
that Col Moore, the Presidents Private
Secretary, was called and proved that the
President sent the nomination Of Ewing,
Stanton's successor, TO the Senate February
22d Immediately following StaHton's re-
moval This, of course, upsets the charge
of conspiracy, and shows, while the Presi-
dents action was prompted by a proper
motive, he was also endeavoring to avoid
a violation of the tenure-of-ofice bill. The
Senate was not in session at the time, how
ever, and the nomination did not reach it
until February oath.
The documents introduced to-day, relate
principally to the term of Office Of a large
class of government officers, and to the re-
moval OF many which we're made by the
different Presidents without advising the
Senate.
Mr. Rutler took the whole management
of the case, ignoring his associates, aud
conducted himself with some decency.
There was rich scene in the House af-
ter the court adjourned. Mr.. Stevens gave
notice he would on Friday move for anight
session Of the House, that il was evident
the Senate did not intend that. all the man
ayers should be heard in the impeachment
case, and he would make this notice 90
those excluded under the rule could de-
liver their arguments before the HonsS.
Mr.. Stevens is mortified because the ninth
article, which was his production, has cut
such ridiculous small figure in the trial,
and he wants to speak on it, He made the
above proposition apparently in earnest
bat it is so absurd many think the old man
is not in his right mind.

or all the villAiuoas acts which have
been perpetrated in and around Memphis
during the past two years, the most VIII
famous took place last evening. A
respectable, industrious widow, Mrs.
Quinan, whose husband died about four
years ago, had her house. located about
four miles south Of this city, set on FIRE
by . negro, and entirely consumed. 1t
appears that while Mrs. Quiusn was en-
gagged a short distance from the house
milking COW negro entered the prem

bundle Of paper, and set the bed and bed
clothes in hamea The light through the
room window attracted the attention
Of Mrs. Quinan, and, suspectipg
what had happened, she Immediately
rushed toward the house, and entered Il
just in time to save her children from
being burnt The state Of this poor
womsn's feelings can better be imagined
than described when she found that ell
her trouble and toll in amsssing little
sum to purchase home for herself and
little ones had been destroyed in minute
by the vilainous act Of negro. God

Mrs. Quinan had little money, because
she occasionally sold eggs and butter, her
