''Ett tn Brute 2"

Mr.. Parr, white radical, made great
speech in the salt-and-pepper Convention
now in session in Richmond OF the 10Th
ult. in which he gave the sharp yisagcd,
nasal-twanged Office seekers from ''deown
east" heavy dig under the fifth rib.
Parr is not a man of much book larn-
ing" He never rubbed bis back agin
a college wall" He is an humble plebei-
an oysterman, and can dissect the delicious
bi-valves in the most approved style.
Parr is a genius-in his way. He puts
the ''black carpet-bag'' villains on u red
hot griddle and roasts them in real satanic
style. Go it, Parr you arc ''solno pun
kins."
But the speech. Mr.. Parr had taken
extensive notes, and he wanted the MEM
bers to tstand from under, for he was 60
ing to shoot upwards" He was going to
"giye them piece of his mind.
J MIR. Parr pitched in after the following
style, rather unceremoniously:
''Gentlcmen, Pm Vlreinan; and there is
one thing Eve seen that / don't like sir. I've
seen men come into nay county-and | reckon
they've come into every other gentleman s
county OH this floor, sir-with black carpet
bag, and only ore coat in the world, and that
was on their backs; and don't know but they
didn't have but one shirt, and that might have
been ragged, if we could have seen it, sir: and
these men Amt been here day before they
want to dictate to Virginians, sir'
Somebody on the radical side made remarl,
which interrupted the speaker. He resumed.
''Never mind, sir, pve got pint to make,
and that pint is pint sir. / don't know how
TO encourage the immigration of men who
come here and make out like they know how
10 make brains for me. I tell you, colored
men, you will find the true boodcd Virginians
your best friends When you see a man com
ing along with carpet bag, cast him eff y
The speaker was again interrupted.
''Never you mind, sir; I,lnean all say. and
] cant say halt mean. wish had the vo-
cabullry to express al meant If my face
was as black as tar barrel, &c sooner 60 to
that man for help (pointing to Mr.. Z, Gibson)

man. there's snake in hat bag, and you can't

THURSDAY. MARCH 5, 1868.
Gen. Thomas Discharged.

Gen. Thomas appeared before Judge
Cartier, of the District Court, on the Goth
ult., to answer to the charge of attempting
to exercise the duties of Secretary Of War
in violation of the provisions of the tenure
of-ofice law. lie waived an examination
and submitted to Judgment, in order to
place the matter in proper form for writ
of habeas corpus before a Judge of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. The
prosecution thereupon dismissed the case
and Judge Cartier ordered Gen. Thomas
to be discharged
This summary proceeding on the part
of Judge Cartier deprives. and was inten-
dcd to deprive, Gen. Thomas of all remedy,
as he cannot appeal to the Supreme Court
for the adjudication of the legal points and
the question Of the constitu iona!ity of the
tenure-of- office act.
This action of Judge Cartier was no
doubt dictated by the Radical managers
in order to prevent the Supreme Court
from rendering decision involving the
constitutionality of the act in question.
Immediately after his discharge, on The
same day, Gen. Thomas caused suit to
be commenced in the District Court against
Mr.. Stanton for false imprisonment and
malicious prosecution, laying the damages
at one hundred and fly thousand dollars
The Radical members of Congress are
highly elated at their success in defeating
Gen. Thomas's effort to get his case before
the Supreme Court It shows that they
are determined to fasten their infamous
policy upon the country, regardless of
consequences

rhs Brewnlow.stokes correspondsnos.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Journal furnished that paper
a series Of dispatches, which he said had
" passed over the wires between Parson
Brownlow and Gen. Stokes" relative to
the vote of Senator Fowler on the artl-
cles of impeachment. These DISPATCHES
we're printed in the Louisville Journal
and in the Nashville papers of the 30th
ult., and certainly must have fallen under
the Governors observation by the morn
ing of the I'd inst, and in ample time to
have received attention in his paper Of
the 3D. To the surprise of great many,
not even reference was made to this
correspondence. On the 10th inst the
Governor republishes these dispatches,
and says !: . The telegraphic operator
in Knoxville will testify that not one OF
the above dispatches was ever sent off or
received" Mark the phraseology.
1t is simply denied that these
particular dispatches we're sent off or re-
ceiyed, but not that dispatches touching
the vote of Senator Fowler had passed
between him and Stokes. And this is
done after taking week to consider the
matter. One of the dispatches purport-
ing to come from Governor Brownlow,
com promised Judge Of the Supreme
Court of this State, yet the Governor was
in no hurry to relieve him of the odum
which such an attempt at buying Sem
ator cast upon him. The Washington
correspondent of the Louisville Journal
saws, under date of the 18th Instant ll
Brownlow denies his telegraphic
correspondence with Stokes. He does
so because he knows that his dispatches
fell into the hands of Ben. Butler, who
took care to destroy them"
1t must be confessed that the Gov.
errors denial is exceedingly awkward.
1t is not the full and explicit denial that
the public had right to expect if no cor
respondenee Of the character described
had passed between Brownlow and
Stokes Union and Dispatch.

Grant and Negro suffrage.

Gen. Grant has heretofore declared
against negro suffrage. He is now run
ming on the platform which says the
principle is good enough for the South
and bad for the North. But the follow
ing extract from the speech of Senator
Doolittle, delivered at Milwaukee, Octo-
Der, 1865, shows where he professed to
stand on the subject of negro suffrage,
six months after the close of the war:

The other day when General Grant
was here, spending several hours with

Forney says that ".9ood-gatea of
calumny are opened upon Gen. Grant"
General Grants position is above the
reach Of calumny. CalumDy leyeled at
him would recoil upon the calnmniator,
No Democratic journal, however vigor-
ously opposing General Grants election,
will be so foolish or SO unjust as to
calumniate him. The calu mnies which
Republican journals beaped upon Gen-
eral Mcclellan four years ago made
every Democrat sensible of the iniquity
OF such dsgracefnl political warfare.
But while General Grant is safe against
all calumny at Democratic hands, as we
gladly believe be is also invulnerable to it,
bis friends and supporters may be en-
tireIy assured that the facts of his life and
of his career as General will be spread
fsi.hfplly before the American people.
He will be stripped quite clean, and
shown to them as exactly the man and the
soldier that he is. Nothing Fictitious,
false or ilusory will be left upon him
not a shred. For example, 1t is no cal
umny to state that in the campaign from
the Rapidan to the James, he COM
manded 22G. 900 men, and used up H.
600 Of them 10 using up 1900 Of Lees
n. 900 men. II is no ealumny to state
that the generalship which trades of the
lives Of six soldiers against one is not
the sort Of generalship which spares hu-
man suffering and wins its victories by
brains.-New York World
