WAsHINeToN, Jan. r16.-Letters have
been received by the Internal Revenue
Commissioner, from Tullahoma, Tens
hessee, from F. O. Craford, Revenue
Inspector, and Jas. Ramsey. Collector for
the third district of that State, giving in~
formation in regard to the danger expect
ed by them in attending to business regard
ing iliicet distillation, and with par
ticular allusion to a card which has but re-
Gently occurred in that district, where a
party who was in arrears to the govern
lnent for thousand dollars, had resisted
the Collector in making distTain upon
him for the Indebtedness. 1t appears that
after the distrain had been accomplished,
and the Collector and Inspector had left
the premises they were followed and
attacked by the party who had been
distained, accompanied by others, and
that the inspector was shot and wounded.
Other outrages were perpetrated. 1t does
not appear from the correspondence that
the offending parties have been yet mo-
Tested either by the military or civil au-
thorities. A letter from the Inspector,
dated llth inst, reports since his being
wounded several illicit dlstlllerles were IN
operation in the third district. Informa-
tion also reached the department that re-
sistance had been made TO revenue officers
in the discharge of their duty in suppress
ing illicit distilleries in the neighborhood
of Knoxville. Measures have been instis
tuted by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue for the arrest and punishment of
parties committing these outrages.

The Cause.

To you, my good friend, who stood
shoulder to shoulder with honest men and
ondeayored to elect anti-radicals to Office in
order that a brighter and better day might
dawn upon our almost distracted country,
we Will venture to make the following as
sertions and state the THREE causes which
brought defeat upon the Democratic party,
n party, that at one time-prior to the nom
ination of Seymour--had but to make the
proper effort and victory was certain. First,
when the New York Convention dropped
the name of George Il Pendletou,- the man
who had by his bold and determined defense
of poor man party endeared himself to
the great masses of the people,-and took
up Horatio Seymour upon the bidding, as it
were, Of the soft-shell, bond-hoIding Democ-
racy of New York hundreds of thousands
of votes right then and there were lost. This
assertion no unbiased, clear minded man
can possibly doubt, and no one, who is
familiar with the policy enunciated by Pen
dleton win attempt to refute it, for, wher-
ever he went, wherever his giant strokes
against bonded aristocracY fell, popular
opinion chung to him as the ivy does to the
oak Second, the part in the drama play ed
by few leaders of the late rebellion was
i'll timed and injurious IN the extreme.
Third, the assertion made by the New Y ork
World, a pretended leading Democratic or
gan, only few days prior to the election,
that change would be made in eur can
didates, that Seymour would get of the
track and that some one else would get on
finished the work, and beyond doubt, took
from our party at least two hundred and
fifty or three hundred thousand votes right
where they were needed most We dare
say that in portions of the country where
the report found its way, no contradiction
ever reached For this blind, foolish AID
inexcusable blunder, the New York World
should be read out of the party We feel
satisfied that there are those who will not
coinside with. the views we entertain touch
ing the defeat of the Democratic party, but
as every man has a right to his opinion, we
simply give ours, and-will be willing, at any
time, to see the stoutest tests and closest
criticism employed to change that opinion
Millions of men in this country to day be
Teve that e Gorge II. Pendleton could have
been elected, standing, as he now stands, on
his three plank platform

The Election

Up to yesterday evening every report in
dieated the election of Grant and Colfaz by
IN overwhelming majority. Maryland, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, and possibly
New York. went for Seymour. California
Is thought to have gone Democratic In our
next weeks issue we will print, in full, the
result giving losses and gains. The Demo
Gratis have gained a number Of Congress
men how many, is not now known.
Leftwich is undoubtedly elected by from
$50 to 400 maturity over Smith Num-
carried McNairy, Haywood and Upton
counties Smith carried Shelby, and posi-
bly fIayette, bu. it is Thought that the vote
of that county viii he thrown out as Brown
low, by proclamation, had declared the reg
istratioa null and void. Leftwich carried
Hurdeman aaIti Madison. Smith beats Num-
and Leftwicb beats Smith IS the way the
figures nov stand 1t is impossible to give
tail returns today

Democratic. o. Twelve States are claimed for

GRAND IUNCTIoN.--Early on the morning
of the election about 300 armed negroes,
headed by a notorious buck who lives on
the pea patch Of w. J, Smith, entered Grand
Junction, stacked arms in front of the
Stonewall House, and Immediately went
about the work of electing their favprite-
the miserable abortion whose name has just
been mentioned. Attic sight of the armed
negroes, the women and children we're al
most frantic with fear, and the greatest of
excitement prevailed Troops were tele
graphed for, and at ? o'clock ia the evening
IA number of regulars arrived from Mem
phis, but the negroes, having accomplished a
part Of their purpose, and learning that sol
diers were coming, rapidly dispersed in
every direction. Only few were overhauled
by the soldiers and disarmed And now for
this question, and who will answer it, Why
did Mr.. Bryant, the registrar, and who was
on the ground in person, allow the polls to
be opened under such circumstances The
presence of 300 armed negroes was sufH-
cient evidence to warrant chat fraud aud
violence was intended 1t seems to US that
man who has only the fear of his God be-
fore him should certainly do his duty Con
corning this Junction affair, there are two
responsibilities, and those responsibilities
should be placed upon the shoulders of the
men they fit We charge that this w J,
smith is responsible for the doings of the
band Of armed negroes, and that the officers
who held the election at Grand Junction did
wrong in opening the polls under the cir
cumstances. The whole affair should be
thoroughly investigated, and that, too, as
| speedily a. possible

BoLIvAR.-The election in this place
passed of quietly and peaceably. No dis
turbance of any kind occurred throughout
the day. Business houses of every kind
remained closed, in Obedience to a procIa-
nation issued by Mayor Newborn. A large
number Of negroes were in town The total
vote poled in this precinct was 383, Of which
100 were white, 223 colored Of this vote,
the Democratic ticket got 226, radical ticket

of only one white man who voted the radi
cal ticket, and are decidedly of the opinion
from the best Of reasons that all the tof
| the radical votes were cast by negroes, mem
bers of the loyal league established here
some two or three nontffs ago Num- only
received. II votes. Smith got I46, and it Is
a safe thing to say that every one of those
LAG. votes We're cast by negroes who belong
to the loyal league. The manner in which
the negroes voted, with ticket securely peck
eted, and closely folded, is evidence tins,
outside Of the fact that they had been in pos
! session of the ticket they were to vote some OF
them, at least three weeks prior 10 the cleo
| ton. This part of the programme was
worked by Smith and his emisarles with the
utmost secrecy, and the negroes, poor fools,
thought they would be sharp enough to blind
the eyes of the men who they had promised
that they would vote the Democratic ticket
Right here we want to say this the parties
who Issued, secretly, Smith tickets to ne
groes, and then as blind, voted the Demo
cratic ticket are known, and will receive
the full benefit Of their dirty work The
negro who voted for " J. Smith, and who
is 10 the employ of a gentleman should nor
be allowed to remain. We have no war to
make on the freedman who voted for Grant,
but he who voted for as mean and loathsome
a thing as Smith or Hamilton, should be
made to seek the bed which be has made
FThere Is no excuse One hur dred and forty
six negroes in this neighborhood belong to
the loyal league, every one Of whom can be
ferited out-the most of them already are
known-and should be made to feel whatit is
to encourage a common thief 10 opposition to
a gentleman. They have taken the advice
Of such men as Prosser and Smith let them
remain with their idols and encourage only
tie few honest ones who did what they
could to ward off the hardships which radi-
calism has and intends to force upon us as a
people, The white man who refuses to do
this will fail to do his duty, and is but little
if any, better than loyal league slave him
self For our part, our hands are clean Of
pretense or pandering, and shall ever remain
90. If there is white man in this CON.
munity who desires to harbor a viper that
will turn upon him and sting him to death
let him whistle to the wind and give employ
ment to loyal leaguers." We are satisfied
that all will be well that ends well. Are you {
