Troubles In Maury County.

Ever since the State Militia bave been disbandod
and paid of, matters have been growing worse in
the rebeous county Of Msury lying thirty or forty
miles below Nashville The viler portion Of the
citizens have gone into that despicable organiza-
sion known as the Kuklux Khan, who, in the rebel
spirit Of 1861, are srresting Union men, driving
others out Of the country and shooting down others
in open daylight as though they were dogs. Gen
ersl CONSERVATION and alarm prevail throughout
the ranks Of Union men in that county. So bold
and defiant are the traitors that the Governor has
called upon Gen. Thomas for a company of armed
regulars, which be expects 70 keep there until the
rebels Of that county learn 10 behave themsclvss-
And SO soon as johnson vacates the White House,
The Governor expects TO have regulars stationed in
various counties Of Middle and West Tennessee,
where he proposes TO keep them until the disoyal,
bushwbackiDg, jayhawking and murderous rebels
learn lessons Of moderation and acquire habits of
decency. SENIOR EDITOR.

April 10th, 1868.


Editors Wig
The people Of our town were agreeabiy surprised
last night BY visit from General John Eaton, Jr,
state SUPERINTENDENT Of Public Instruction, who
came ont on the Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad
train. Although the visit was unexpected, and bat
short time remained before dark, yet q beng
known that Gen. Eaton had accepted an invitation
70 address the people on the subject q cducation
the Baptist Church soon filed with an inteiii-
gent and interested audience.
Judge l. c. Houk was called to the chair who
stated the object Of the meeting and introduced
General Eaton to the audience General Eaton's
address was one that viii long Be remembered
Clear perspiouous and forcbe, it brought home the
lessons it sought to inculcate at once both to the
understanding and the heart Of each one present.
The general subject Of education was dwelt on with
earnestness and success and the free school system
Of Tennessee its origin, progress present condition
and future prospects fully and clearly explained.
Our people are fully alive 70 the Importance of free
common schools and were glad to be able to learn
so much Of the present condition Of the system
They were especially gratiGed TO learn from Gen.
Eaton that there is prospect Of speedy com
mencement Of actual teaching under the school sys-
tenn all over the State. As soon as the season Of
summer farm work Is over, hope to have cur
county put fairly under way in the good work.
At the conclusion Of Gen. Eatons address, the
following resolutions presented by the County Su-
perintgndeat were unanimously adopted
ResoEred, That we tender to Gen John Eaton,
Jr State Superintendent of Public Instruction, our
thanks for the able and eloquent address be has
/ given us tonight.
/ ResolUsd, That we have observed with appf03a-
ton and interest bis untiring and efficient labors in
the arduous duties of his Office and that pledge
| him our support and hearty co operation IN the
| great work until complete system of free common
| Schools is successfully established throughout our
/ State.
Judge Houk was called upon and hs, as well as
others present. made brief remarks, after which the
meeting adjourned.
a large number Of our eolored citizens were pres
ent evincng their usual lively interest in all that
pertains TO education.
We regret that his duties in Knoxville compelled
Gen Eaton to leave on this mornings train. His
flying visit has been source of much qualification
to OUT people, and is looked upon as al indication
that we have the proper at the head Of oul
school system, and may soon look for gratifying re
suits. MYRoN,
Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1868-04-15
Tennessee an Imneaehment.

Party unammity is oitener spoken oil
than realized 1t is not often that party
can unite its entire strength upon given
measure, and perhaps the only instances
where this unanimity is to be looked for
are where great measures have created and
originated party, and drawn men to their
support as the magnet draws the steel Ill
ings around it. The Union question in
1861 is an eminent case in point. The
Union question made the Union party, and
of course on that point there was unanimi-
ty But there is a remarkable case of una
nimity to-day in the Republican party OF
this State. The men who supported Mr..
Lincoln liz 1860 were not more united on
the Union question than the Republicans
of Tennessee are united on the justice and
necessity Of the impeachment and removal
of Andrew johnson from the Presidency.
If there be one dissenting voice among the
seventy two thousand and odd voters who
supported Governor Brownlow last August,
on this point, we have not heard it. There
are powerful reasons for this unanimous
feeling, The first is that the Republicans
feel, and know from painful experience, that
the President is bitterly hostile to the men
and measures OF the present State Govern
ment, and would overthrow them both to-
day if he could The second reason is that
the Republicans believe that Johnson's ac-
quittal would embolden the Democrats TO
take immediate steps to set aside the State
government The third reason is that the
Republicans believe that the President
would give the reyolutionists such aid by
| the disposition of troops and charges in
this military department, rs would ensure
them an easy victory.
Thus, in the Judgment OF Tennessee
Republican, the acquittal of Johnson in
wolves the overthrow of the existing State
government the abolition Of colored suf-
frage, the immediate Acknowledgement I'M
der the revolutionary constitution, of every
rebel, and the wiping from the statute
books nearly all the liberal laws passed
since 1865 Is it strange that Tennessee
Republicans should watch closely the
progress of the impeachment trial, and the
vote of every Senator, when their political
existence and the civil rights of many
| thousands are at stake Press and Times.
The 9th Of April, three years ago, Lee surren-
dered to Grant-the bottom fell out OF the Rebel
| lion---aRd a. johnson has labored neessantly to
reconstruct the old ship of Treason
The 18th Of April is the birthday Of Henry Clay,
since whose death has been lying around loose, and
at intervals worshpng at the shrine of treason and
rebellion

W J
Ny Dear SU in a communication TO the Anti
lSlaUsry Standard you say that Senator Wilson
works for Grant who gets drunk and is no Radical,
and objects TO other candidates who are Radical
because they sometimes drink" | am sure you do
not intend TO be unjust, but you certainly have
placed me in false position. For thirty-seven
years have been pledged temperance man, and
/ have sirIven 10 be faithful to a cause my heart
loves and my judgment approves. While / have
ever regarded inten perance 20 be terrible caam-
ity to humanity and sin against God, l have al
ways felt the deepest pity and sympathy foral whore
lives we're blighted by it. l know OF no Radical
whose name has been mentioned for the Presidency
who gets drunk, or 20 whose nomination have OBJ
iected because he sometimes drinks. | have seen
Gen. Grant in the camp, in his Office, at his own
house and at dinner parties where liquors were
freely used by others, but l have never seen him
drink even a glass of wine, nor have / ever seen
him when had the slightest reason TO think he was
in any degree under the influence Of drink.
You say further that l work for Grant, who is
not q Radical l have done little work for General
Grant for il was not necessary that any one should
work for him. The Republicans of nearly every
State, with great unanimty, have produced for him
but this result was not achieved by work. but by the
needs Of the country and the nttnets of patriotic
and lberty-lOying people. l took occasion more
th an two years ago TO express on the hoor OF the
Senate my conviction that patriotic and loya
people, betrayed by the President, would turn K
th at great soldier and summon him to marshal then
to victory. Thirtytwo years ago l fully committed
myself to the anti-slavery cause, and have striveT
with voice and vote TO advance it to its final anC
crowning triumph. II was because was an anti
slavery man, Radical Republican, because l be
lieved the cause Of equal and impartial liberty &
DO above the ambitions and interests of public mon
and because l believed General Grant would carry
that cause 10 assured victory that L turned to hin
1 az the Presidential candidate Of the Republican
party. l know him to be an honest Just, and firm
man. whose fidelity 10 his country and TO the equa
rights Of sll his c0untrymen cannot be questioned
Gladly would | have welcomed the nomination o
some one Of the veteran anti-ssyery men if such
nomination could have assured the SUCCESS of oul
cause in the great struggle of this year. But tn
pioneer anti-slayery men have ever been forced BY
the needs Of their struggling cause 20 be selfsacri
fcng and sei-forgetful That self-sacriicing spiri
and sef-forgeliulness have achieved glorious vcto
ries for humanity in the past, and / trust will vii
