Truth.
We never could see any policy in the
publisher Of newspaper mis-stating a
fact. If it should win for brief time it
is bound to react, and the character Of
the Journal is as much forfeited as that Of
q man would be who becomes a notorious
liar. It never pleased US very well to
learn the history of a matter and when
we venture to repeat it, to be informed by
indubitable testimony that the journal up
on which we relied had deceived us with a
false statement. There is class of pa
pers which seem to imagine that the fire.
quent repetition Of a political SANDER will
force itself into the minds Of some, rs
truth, and that the effect produced will be
10 valuable to their party that the ''mora-
turpentine Of the act" Ito quote Mrs. Parl
tington) will be looked over in consdcra-
ton Of the profits resulting. We do not
like such neither do we admire your spe-
cial pleaders, who find virtue and patriot
ism only in their own party and who dis
cover such q wonderful difference in the
positions of tweedle and tweedle,dee.

Master.

A large number Of the lawyers Of Mem
phis met last evening, in the Municipal
Courtroom, and took action toward re-
sisting the collection OF a special tax
assessed upon them by the County Court
Clerk. Hon. j. Il. r. Ray filled the chair,

every lawful and legitimate way.
Resolced, That the Chairman appoint
a committee of seven members of the

The Indianapolis Sentinel is beginning
to develop some of the atrocities Of
veatcb, who commanded here during the
war, the editor having visited this place
for the purpose of procuring the material
which be knew existed and could be
proved. Farther developments will fol.
low as to the exploits of this well known
miscreaut in Memphis. II it does not
crush him before the people of Indiana,
then all we can say is that such is their
taste that the most undoubted proof of
villainies, made from sources Of the
highest responsibility, has no influence
with them. We all know here hoy i'm
possible it is that the following statement
Of facts should be untruthful in any re.
spect. The Sentinel says
The following statement from two
highly respectable ladies Of Memphis,
Tennessee, shows up General James c.
Veatch, Radical candidate for Congress
in the First District of Indiana, in no
snvieble light. We have frequently heard
from many of his neighbors how ele-
gantly General Veatch's house was furn.
ished With furniture sent TO bis residence
during the war, but really we had no idea
that the General had such an antipathy
against defenseless women as now APP
pears. The robbery OF respectable
widow women is q specimen of nhiyalry
that tue man would hardly be Guilty
Of. But read the evidence, men Of the
First District, and then decide ifyou can
cast your vote for such man;

Governor he could make all straight and
smooth; that he could, as Governor, at
once relieve us Of all our troubles, and
free the State from the political lice now
sticking upon the bady Of the State, and
knock the life at once out Of Brownlow-
ism. This all looks very promising. but
then the editor bases Mr.. Johnson's

wag of this State did many years since,
when the late Col. Ward was a candidate
for Governor The wag had long been
known as a political opponent Of the
candidate for Governor, but Immediately
on the announcement that Col. W. was a
candidate, this quandam political enemy
took the stump for him; and, in bis
speeches for his candidate, he said his
friend was very rich man, and was ac-
cused OF taking negro servant along
with bin to shake hands with poor folks.
He admitted the charge, and, with great
seeming earnestness, justified it, because,
as be said, his friends hands were soft,
and constant contact with the horny |
hands of poor men chafed the skin, and |
made his hands sore. The oratos did the
thing so adroitly that thousands really
believed him in earnest, gave credit TO
his admissions, and repeated his
Justification, and the result was his friend
got but few votes wherever the waggish
advocate went 1t is admitted that the
State is cursed with all the political evils
known to the catalogue; that her Offices
are filed with a set of thieves and vaga-
bonds; that Mr.. johnson brought all this
upon us, and for that reason is better
qualified to take it all of than any other
man. Alb, Colonel, you are great wag,
