The general excellence of the vegetables
exhibited, considering the great drouth of
the season in all this region, surprises us.
The seed corn is all remarkably fine, and
the squashes, pumpkins, melons and other
garden vegetables of uniform high excel
lence.
By far the largest and best display un-
der this head is that made by Thomas
Common, of Burlington, Mrs NJ. C. Wheel
ers gardner. He shows sixty-fve yarie-
ties of vegetables, including some superb
MELONS of thirteen kinds-fye of musk
and eight of water mellons-among which

TEXAS RECONSTRUCTION.
A Plan 10 Radicalize TexRs-Tennes-

see Under BrOwnIOw Held Up rs IA
Warming.
From the New York herald, June Is.
On yesterday both Houses Of Congress
we're RECALLED by the reading Of most ex-
traordinary document forwarded by tele-
graph from Austin, Texas, by authority Of
the Reconstruction Convention, now in
session at that place. 1t comprises series
of resolutions which set forth that great
lawlessness Is prevalent>-throughou the
State; that law abiding and "loyal" citi-
zens are persecated, and winds up by ask
ing Congress to give the convention power
TO organize a military force in every county
for the purpose of preventing the commits
sion Of the wrongs complained of. A more
audacious request was never put with great
er coolness before. That there are numer-
GUS lawless men in Texas we have not the
slightest doubt; indeed, that State has
always been noted for the possession of
bands Of scoundrels who respect neither
life, person nor property. But the whole
animus Of the convention is apparent 10 the
attempt 70 make il appear that Union men
are being murdered BY ex-Rebel'. This is
an old and worn out cry, and the effort TO
organize an army Of Radicals Is no new
plot Il has been successfully carried out
IN Tennessee, under Parson Brownlow, and
nearly eighteen months ago a movement
took place in Texas looking to the same
end. The secret of the resolutions which
have been transmitted TO Congress is that
the Radicals desire to organize an armed
political mob, by means Of which they can
obtain permanent possession Of the State.
This very Reconstruction Convention is
the elected of decided minority Of all the
registered voters in Texas, and when it has
completed its work the probabilities are in
favor Of victory for the Conservatives at
the election for State officers. Hence the
anxiety for a convention army to control
the polls. We think the wretched condi-
ton Of Tennessee to-day under Brownlow
and his State army is sufficient warning
against extending the policy Of repression
20 Texas. We hope that there Is yet re-
naming in Congress sufficient deceney and
respect for the opinions Of the entire people
Of the country 20 influence the Radical
members thereof 20 reject the petition.

TREASON AGAINST THE STATE.

The case Of Col Fl. NJ Ashby, charged |
with treason against the State Of Tennes-
see, was tried at the present term Of the
Circuit Court for Knox county, and rec
suited in his acquittal by a jury Of Knox
county. Unusual interest was felt in
the progress and result Of this trial, says
the Knoxville Press and Herald, the de-
PENDANT being the FIRST person ever ar
raigned before a court Of that county up.
on such charge. Col Ashley, in May
or June, 1861, entered the sO-ealled pro-
visiOnal army OF Tennessee, with the
rank Of Captain. lie was transferred
with said army to the army Of the Confed-
crate States, and subsequently rose to the
rank of Colonel in which capacity he
continued in the army until the surren-
der of Johnston to Sherman, when he
was paroled. In 1864, the grand jury
for the county Of Knox, returned a pre-
sentiment against him for treason against
the State Of Tennessee, the grayamen of
the charges in the four counts Of the pre-
sentiment being the facts above stated.
In the summer of 1866, he was arrested
by the Sheriff of Knox county, and since
that time has been held under bond to
answer sad charges The principal
points determined in his case, SO far as
the authority Of the County CourS ex
tends, are:
lst. That the levying Of war against the
United States government by citizen or
| citizens of Tennessee, ia not of itself, trea-
son against the State.
I'd. That when the act proven was COM
| mitted against the United States and not
with design to oppose or overthrow the
] State government, it does not constitute
State treason.
| Sd. That the act of the Legislature
passed May 80, 1861, repeating 50 much of
the Code as made certain acts against the
| United States government treason against
the State is or was a valid act, passed
by a legally constituted Legislature, and
that therefore no act of hostility against the
United States from the Sd of May, 1861, to
the time of the repeal of said act in 1866,
could be held TO have constituted State
treason.
There wue many other points deter
mined by Il o Court, but the ones mem
toned were the controlling ones. Judge
Hall delivered a very clear charge upon
all the points made by the counsel on both
sides. He held that the act of the Legisla'
ture Of 1861 repeating certain sections Of
the law Of the State against treason, was a
valid act No exception was taken to his
charge by either side. The jury retired
for about half an hour, when they returned
verdict of not g1Gilty We hope with the
decision Of this case, that all the luminosity
that has been heretofore exhibited by some
Radicals against those whom they have
denominated as Rebels will cease. Let
by-gones now be by-gones and if there are
those of the two parties who cannot forget
let them forgive. Many of both parties
have done so and are now living in friendly
relations. Why should not the Others
follow good example

A NEGRO F0R CONGRESSMAN.

The MeMinnville Enterprise, an adj
vanced Radical journal which is edited
by che Of the Clerks of the Senate of Ten
nessee, is out in favor of electing negro
Congressman for the State at large, as
will be seen from the following para
graph, copied from that paper of the 10th
instant:
"The MaryYille Republican, whose pub
Usher is c9lored man, w. B. Scott, Sr,
advocates the election Of a colored man to
Congress for the State at large. Whether
it would be expedient at this time to add
to our delegation in Congress colored
man, we pretend not to say. But if any
ore can see any incorrectness in the srgu-
ment adduced, he can see further into 3
mill stone thaa we can. 1t Is an ac-
| knowledged fact that the member to be
elected is to represent the 10000 colored
voters who have been enfranchised. This
being the case, it is contenaed that col
ored man should be selected TO represent
his color and race. The argument il
sound, and can only be rejected on th'
ground Of expediency."

WASHINGTON, June 2I.-The reconcilia-
ton Of Grant and Butler is the talk of the
town. Colfax, as l said in my dispatch of
Friday, had hand in it; but l now learn
that George Wilkes and George Wilkes
liquor, did the most effective part of the
business. Wilkes is one of the shrewdest
and boldest of the Radical wire-pulers, and
has several irons in the fire. He is ex-
actly fitted to be the go-between in such
a transaction, and acted in the especial in
terest of Butler, who has always been ready
enough to compound with Grant for con-
sideration. The item in this instance is a
foreign mission if Grant should be elected
President, contingency becoming more
and more unlikely. The Radicals are de-
lighted over the reconciliation. 1t silen-
ces Butler without any further trouble and
relieves Grant of Damocles' sword in the
shape of certain damaging evidence which
Butler held over him.
George Wilkes gave dinner yesterday
at Welcker's to Mr.. Burlingame and his
MandaIins. Grant was one of the guests.
1t is said that Wilkes wants to enlist Bur
lingame in his California China project,
and to wean Grant from Juarez, to whom
Grant is attached.
General Grant leaves on Wednesday for
Cheyenne. He will avoid, his friends say,
both Cincinnati aud st. Louis. Don't
like displays. Don't want to make any
speeches. He is to be accompanied by his
wife and children, and the ever-present
