Jaoobin Terrorism.

The idea thrown out from Washington
City of Chief Justice Chase being taken
up as a Presidential candidate by the
Democratic party, is q trick of the i'm
peschers, to fright the Chief Justice from
his propriety. 1t is part of the system Of
terrorism adopted to lash theChief Justice
into party traces, and force him to sink
the dignity and high character of the
Judge in that of the partisan tool of the
most corrupt and unscrupulous party
that ever ruined country and oppressed
a people. 1t is Of a piece with that act
ing of old Thad Stevens, when, shaking
his gaunt finger, he exclaimed, Let me
see the man who dares 60 back on the
party in this (impeaohmsnt) matter"
The suggestion is not simply absurd.
1t is wilfully false and wicked, as was
the story telegraphed back from New
Orleans, to act on the New Hampshire
elections, that Gen. Hancock had been
riding out in the same carriage with Mr.
Jefferson Davis.
The Chief Justice cannot hope for q
Democratic nomination under any cir.
cumstances, but if he disregaris these at
tempts of the Jacobins to terrorize over
him, he may leave behind him an hon.
orahe name and fame People, s

Tho Bank Of Tannaaaaa.

We learned yesterday that a bill has
been filed in the Chancery Court against
the Bank Of Tennessee, by N. and Ed.
Baxter, attorneys, in favor Of Mark h.
Cockrell, Of this place, to collect eighteen
thousand dollars, the amount of bis
deposits in the Bank at the time Of its
removal South. The position assumed,
as we understand, in the bill is, that the
assignment heretofore made by the Bank
to the State Of the school fund, amount
ing to something near two millions Of
dollars, is fraudulent and void, the school
fund being the capital stock Of the Bank,
and the stock being the owner Of the
school fund or capital stock in the Bank,
and the assignment having been made
in favor Of the State; or, in other words,
that the Bank has assigned to the State
the money or fund deposited by the State
as q security or pledge for the redemp-
ton Of its notes, or, payment of the
deposits in the Bank.
II will be seen that this suit involves
the interests of large number Of credi-
tors who have been debarred Of their
rights by hasty legislation, and its pro-
gress through the courts will be watched
with much interest throughout the State

Foolish and Shameless.

No miser ever doled out his gold with
so much reluctance and regret as the
Radical United States Senators do time
to President Johnson for his trial. They
almost measure it out to him by hours.
Forty days time for preparation for SO
important a case is q very reasonable
request, and it is questionable whether
it would not have been best for the Presi-
dents COUNSEL after it had been refused,
to have withdrawn from the case alto
gether, and assigned as the reason that
theywere not allowedsufiicient time t pre-
pare for their defense. That would have
thrown upon the foolish and shameless
Senate responsibility before the world

Abducting Freedmen and Selling Them

Abduoting Freedmen and eellng Inem
into Slavery.
We clip the following frsm the New
Orleans Republican, of Friday last,
merely remarking that no other journal
of the Crescent City makes any allusion
to the affair; and this, coupled with the
fact that the Republican is intensely
radical, will caution our readers to take
the statement cum grdno sails At all
events it is curious. Says the RepHbh-

About twenty freedmen, who engaged
at Key West to go down the Florida
coast to cut timber there, sailed last
week on the brig Pat Cleburne and the
small schooner Lost Cause, but their pre-
tended employers, instead of proceeding
to the Florida coast, ran the vessels into
Matanzas, where it is presumed the in
tention of the kidnsppers was to sell
them into slavery.
The names Of the parties engaged in
the nefarious transaction are B. Preston,
Of South Carolina, c. Ellet, Of Charles

After the arrival Of the vessels at Ma
tauzas the United States Consul directed
his efforts to capture the kidnappers and
protect their victims. Smith and Col
man escaped Preston, Ellet and Allen
were captured aud sent to Key West in

would be almost impossible for them to
get of from the island. The freedmen
