To the deep modification of being
misrepreseEted in Congress by Hitter
ate, nasal-tongued. carpet-bag adven-
turers, there is yet Il heavier weight OF
humiliation for the Southern people to
bear in the election of their Presiden-
tial electors by the pretty carpet-bag-
gers and Freedmen's Bureau clerks,
who comprise their Legislatures.

MORE LIES.

The Inquirer of last week is brim-
full of such lies as the more respectable
Republican journals think it disgrace
to print. We copy:
The Lost Cause 10 be Regaincd.
"What the COnfederacy fought for
will be won by the election of Seymour
and Blair Gov. u. B. Vance.
Secession not Dead.
II do not care for the platform. 1t
tells lie in its first resolution. 1t
says secession is dead Secession is
not dead. 1t is more alive than ev-
er."- Gov. Wise.
The Confederacy Must Triumph.
The cause for which Stonewall Jack
son fell cannot be in vain but in some
form, will yet triumph" Wade Hamp-
ton.
Seymour Preferred Confederate COnsti-
tutiOn.
Horatio Seymour, after the adoption
of the Confederate Constitution, said
to Judge Charles II. Ruggles: sit is
better than ours, (the Federal) Then
why not obviate ali lidifficulty, by simp-
ly adopting that (Confederate) Con5ti-
tuition ?''
These are specimen bricks. There
is not one word of truth in the state
ment that either Vance, Wise or
Hampton ever made use of the Ian
guage attributed to them. They have
all publicly denied that they have said
anything of the kind. AS for Sey-
mour preferring the Confederate Con-
stitution," he certainly had queer way
| ofshowing his preference for it, acHen he
issued -, 900 commissions to Onion off
GERS, organized oUer 100000 troops, and
sent 1900 emergency men TO Gettysburg,
10 help put doaa that Constitution.
How easy thing it is to squelch a

Not only should every Democrat

Taking Back Seats.

In his speech at the Union
meeting, Nashville, in June,
1864, Governor Andrew John
son said:
"Why all this carnage and
desolation? 1t was that treason
might be put down, and trait.
ors punished. Therefore, l say
that traitors should take back
seats in the restoration. If
there be but five thousand men
in Tennessee loyal to the Con-
stitution, loyal to freedom, 10y
al to justice, those true and
faithful men should control the
work of reorganization and re-
formation absolutely. | say
that the traitor has ceased to
be a citizen, and, joining the
rebellion, has become a public
enemy. He forfeited his right
to vote with loyal men when
he renounced his citizenship,
and sought to desroy our Gov
eminent"
This was very sound at the
time it was spoken, but events
seem to show that it was all
sound and nothing more. The
way traitors took back seats at
the Democratic Convention
was shown by the Committee
on the Platform adopting Wade
Hampton's plank, that all "the
reconstruction acts of Congress
are unconstitutional, null and
void" We rather think that
is giving traitors seats with
rery high backs to Mem!-S0l-
dterS' Friend.

SUPERVISORS would do we'll to
make themselves familiar with
sections II and 13 of the new
road law passed March s, 1868,
which requires them to "erect
and keep up at the forks or
crossroads of every State and
county road a post and guide
or finger-board." And, also "to
construct foot bridges over
streams of water on said high
ways" They should not neg
lect their duty in this respect,

Hundred Dollars, value re-

The above is an exact copy of a
draft that was drawn while Henry
Reynolds was Treasurer, and laid in
the County Treasury more than u
year as cash, while in reality the cash
was out OH private speculation. Du-
ring the time this draft laid in the
Treasury two or more settlements
were made, and Mr.. Reynolds Dem
ocratic friends counted itas cash, not
withstanding it was no more entitled
under the laws to be counted as mon
ey than blank piece of paper would
be. In tact we have good cause to be-
lieve that Traber & Auber had no
money in their hands belonging to
Frnzee, Cunning s. Co.. and, there
fore, the draft was worthless, aud al
ways would haSe remained worthless
if Melsar Nye had not agreed to pay
it as a part of his contract in purchas-
ing the Eagle Furnace property.
The interest on the sum represented
by this draft, supposing it to have
been out just one year, at ten per
cent, would be $46O 90. Mr..
Reynolds friends acknowledge the
transaction as here stated, but claim
that he received no interest, Without
attempting to decide whether he did
or did not receive interest, the peo-
pie were at the same risk of losing
theirmoney, and Mr.. Reynolds duty,
as plainly described by the law, was
violated.
