Reply 10 "a LAWYER. T"

A writer in the VINO Of last week, over
the signature Of "a Lawyer enquiries Of
the editor Of this paper why the decisions
Of the Supreme Court are not pablished in
some paper in East Tennessee. This is a
question we would like to have lawyer.
a DOCTOR or a divine answer for our benefit
ard for our own information. The Legisla-
ture Of 1865 if our memory serves us cor
rectly, designated this paper, the Press and
Tines at Nashville, and paper at Memphis,
as the papers TO publish the acts Of the
General Assembly Our impression is that
the acts were 70 be furnished by the State
Department and the Supreme Court decis-
ions by the Clerks Of the Supreme Court.
Neither acts of the General Assembly nor
the decisions Of the Supreme Court are fur
nished the publishers of this paper, and we
are too proud spirited aud independent to
beg Secretaries and Clerks for any such
patronage. Still we would like to know
Why they are not regularly furnished. Is
il hostility toward this paper or its publish
Gre, or is IL only negligence on the part of
those having charge of the business?

Progress OF Impeachment.

We regret that we are not able TO give
our readers the result of the great I'm
parchment trial, in this issue Of our paper.
The voting is going on as our paper goes
to press, on this day, TUESDAY, 18th of
NAY, 1865. And by the time our paper
reaches cur subscribers, Mr. johnson will
have been voted guilty by forty Senators,
and retired to private life. WADE viii be
President ad interim, whilst JOHNSON will
be President ad onterim 1t being only one
step from the sublime to the ridiculous,
from the Presid eDcy to private life, JOHN
SON takes that step to-day And the
swarms Of rebel Office holders under him
viii roost lower down TIA an they have been
doing TIE work Of reconstruction will
20 on quietly, and the remaining States
viii wheel into line Tbs country will be-
come quiet, and business will prosper
Tie Ku-Klux Klans win 60 into their holes,
and pull the holes in after them And the
Radicals, white and colored, North and
South, will say Amen :
LArER-s Since writing the foregoing q
telegram has been received stating that the
Court Of impeachment has adjourned until
Saturday, without a vote, on account of the
illness Of Senator Howard, Of Michigan,
Howard is a strong Impeachment man

The FreemasOns In the Uulted States
Senate.

Andrew johnson is a Freemason Of high
and honorable standing in that high and
honorable order No act Of his life can be
named that has not been squared by the
noble principles TO which he has pledged
himself and the solemn obligations he has
voluntarily incurred. Among the Repub-
licans Of the United States Senate there are
several members of the Masonic fraternity
Can they lay their hands upoa their hearts
and declare in the presence of their Creator
that they have done equal Justice to their
Brother Mason, if they pronounce him
guilty Of "high crimes and misdemeanors"
upon the miserable pretence of evidence
that has been concocted against him? Can
they reconcile ii with their sense of duty
and with the solemn and sacred obligations
they have taken upon themselves, to ad
Judge Andrew johnson by the inspirations
Of partisan hate and malice, instead Of by
the light Of truth and instice2 Let them,
as Masons, reflect upon these suggestions.
The New York Telegram
This is proposing to use Freemasonry for
a purpose that every honorable Mason will
protest against. It is proposing to convert
the q. s. Senate into partisan lodge, such
as would black ball Radical Doctor of Di-
vinity out of the Chapter; such as would
reject the petition of Radical General !;
nay, such as would reprinand a Radical
Major because q rebel editor assaulted him
without provocation Verify this comes
up to our standard Of partisan hate and
malice oi "

To The Editor Of TIE Union


To the Editor Of the Union
In your issue OF the 29th OF April YOU
published an article in relation TO DR.. G..
Naphcgyi entitled +" A Gigantic Swindle.
Your article was rehash of several OF q
like tenor which appeared in the papers Of
this city.
1t must have appeared strange to YOU
that the late firm Of G. Powell, Green & co.
should have advanced to DR.. Naphegvi
funds and securities, on the letter of Hon
Reverdy Johnson, TO the amount Of $50, 900
Ne such thing ever occarred, nor was the
Doctor arrested and brought to this CITY
and committed in default of one hundred
thousand dollars bail.
He was not brought to this city at all.
but was taken before Judge Carrots at Sta
pleton, Staten Island, before whom the COM
plant was made, and the examination was
set down for yesterday. | attended as
counsel for the Doctor, and when the mat
ter was called up, Columbus Powell, who
made the complaint, failed to appear, and
his counsel Withdrew the complaint, and
the Doctor was hOnorably discharged.
When General Santa Anna was here last
summer he made his bonds to the amount
- - - S1D~<1 VIZ k4ACiib Vi WulC0 WAS
secured by mortgage on his real estate in
ST. Thomas and Mexico, and Columbus
Powell, one Of the above named firm. took
a portion Of the bonds, and advanced the
sum of s3s, 900 only the money was used
in paying the debts Of the General. settling
the many lawsuits commenced against
him, and in aiding him in getting away for
Mexico
The General failed in securing the con-
troll Of the Mexican Republic, as Is well
known, and was sent out of the country.
and is now in Havana, where Mr.. Powell
recestly visited him, and the General Of
fered sl00, 900 for his bonds, and declined
settling with Powell unless he could settle
the whole matter, and Powell returned and
wanted Dr.. Naphegyi 70 place 10 his hands
the mortgage and bonds which the Doctor
held, that he (PowelI) might thereby obtain
tho sum offered by Santa Anna this TIE
Doctor declined doing. and hence the pro.
ceedings Of Mr.. Powell. expecting tber,hv
10 brighten the Doctor into an aeouiesce,,sse
IN his demands, and hence the abuse thaf
has been heaped upon the Doctor bv the
very strange proceedings Of Mr. Powell.

Not inundated by the result of last fall,
the enemy are organized for another deter
