! The REBEL SPIRIT IN TRNNRssEE.-Thl
Nashville Press and Times re. ates some cir
cumstances which illustrate the still mali
cious and unrelenting spirit Of evil that rule,
the unrepen:ant rebels Of Tennessee. Ont
d. D. Jones, Union man, was murdered in
the early days of the rebellion for refusing to
take pay in Confederate currency for some
goods which were taken from him BY -ures
| by one Clarke. This ruffian shot him dead
in the presence of his wife and family and
then wen, off and joined the rebel army. He
was lately tried for the deed, and on the trial,
Orlando Brown testified as follows:
Twas in Somerviile on the day the killing
was done, and saw Clarke on the north side
of the square, in front Of Dickinson's store,
and on the south side of the square, between
kee & Holoway's store and the bank build
ing; his friends were trying to get him out
of town; he said, No, he had killed one
damned son-of-a- bitch, and believed he'd kill
another he called no name at the time
his companions finally persuaded him to
leave.
The Press and Times records the verdict
of the jury as follows:
On Friday morning the jury returned into
court, and, after their names were called by
the clerk, and they were asked by the court
if they had made up their verdict, one of the
jurors handed to the court the indictment,
upon which their verdict was written. The
court, after a moments pause, read to
breathless crowd of hearers the most remark
able verdict ever given in Favette county.
" We, the jury. find the defendant not guilty,
and honorably acquit him."
The Post says:
A Union man, a plain, quiet citizen, is
murdered by rebel. The only provocation
that is satisfactorily proved is a depreciating
reference to Confederate money, offered for
what appeared there was purpose to steal.
All is proven as clear as sunlight, and the |
verdic; is 81 Not guilty ~
Respectable rebels were much disguised |
as anybody at the mockery of justice shown |
in the verdict. Clarke did not venture to i
remain in town more than half an hour after |
his discharge, fearing danger it is said, from
an outraged public.
This fellow is of the class of Southerners
for whose "rights" the Copperheads are so
vociferous.

THE FLooD ON THE South YrBA.-The
Nevada (Cal.l Daily Transcript of the 9th
ult says of the recent food
The water in the South Yuba has been
six or eight feet higher during the late storm,
than ever known before. We are informed
that the abutment on the north side OF
Coopers bridge caved away and the new
bridge now lays at an angle of forty-fve
degrees, with the south end resting on the
abutment and the north end upon the river
bank. The water at Blacks bridge was
fully eight feet higher than the flood of 1862,
and the timbers beneath have been carried
out, and the bridge is so much weakened,
that it is not passable for teams.

THE REDEMPTION QUESTION.

We think We discover a very general dis.
position upon the part Of the representative
newspapers throughout the country to repu-
diate. - unworthy and quibling, the specious
arguments advanced BY General Butler and
others in favor of paying the holders of the
Five-Twenty Bonds in greenbacks. The
idea has become pretty much universal that
the Government has no more moral right to
iiquidate its liabilities by the tender of its
paper issues than an individual has to square
up his accounts by simply giving new note
for an old, matured one. Apt illustrations
Of the injustice and,-if we may use the
word-she impudeace of such procedure
are not wanting; and the proposition bids
fair to be actually ridiculed out of sober con-
alteration. Its absurdity is very closely dem
cnstrated BY the Washington Chronicle BY
the following apropos quotation from the re-
corded sayings Of the immortal wilkins
Nicawber. That illustrious gentleman being
about to quit London while still in debt to
his poor friend Traddles. the following char
acteristic conversation takes place
ITO leave the metropolis" says he. "and
my friend, Mr.. Thomas Traddes, without ac-
quitting myself of the pecuniary part of this
obligation. would weigh upon my mind to
an insuportable extent. l have therefore
prepared for my friend, Mr.. Thomas Trad
dies, and I now hold in my hand, a document
which accomplishes the desired object. I
Deg to hand to my friend, Mr.. Thomas Trad
dies. my 1. O. u. for forty-one, ten, eleven
and half. and am happy to recover my
moral dignity, and to know that I can once
more walk erect before my fellow men,"
This states the whole case; and reams Of
pleading and an infnitude of ingenious argu-
,nent by General Butler would be powerless
To controvert the simple truthfulness of its
purport.

The PIrrsBURG, Pa, CHARTER ELECTION
The late election Of municipal officers in
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, having resulted in
the defeat of the regular Republican nominee
for Mayor, by "the WoIkIngman's Candi-
date" the Copperhead press has prated o.
reaction and " the downfall of Republic.
anism," as if the unterrifed had actually
gained a great and decisive victory. The
eittsburg Gazette Of the 9Th ult. states the
zeal character and details of the result as fol-
lows:
Attn charter election held in this city YES
ssrday, Riddell, the Republican candidate, wa
BADLY beaten BY Blacknore, the candidate OF
tbs vorkingmen. Blackmore received very
nearly the entire Democratic support. and
the votes of multitudes of Republicans in
addition. Indeed, Mr.. Riddell carried but
me precinct in the whole city, and that by a
majority Of only four votes.
Allinder, Independent. Republican, was
elected city treasurer over Mccarthy, regular
Republican Aliinder was adopted by the
vorkingmen, and vas supported by the Dem
ocrats generally, as well a. by many Repub-
Leans.
slasle, regular Republican, was elected city
4It0fney over DufgWin, WOfklnSnan.
AcCargo, regular Republican, was elected
controller, over Wright, Workingman.
The Select Council stands twenty-four Re-
publicans TO two Democrats, and one Labor
Reform. The Common Council, forty-one
Republicans to two Democrats. There is a
sis between two of the candidates in Oakland
township.
Here, where the special causes Of dissatis-
faction in the Republican ranks are fully I'M
derstood and appreciated, any explanation of
these results would be altogether unnecessary.
Indeed, We incline to the opinion that the
naked statement given above will convey an
IN teliigible idea of the case to all men every
where who are experienced in the manage
Inent or accustomed TO the close observation
IL political affairs.
So it seems that with the exception Of the
Mayor, and five out Of seventy Councilmen,
the Republicans secure all the Offices. Even
"a it turned out, the Cops had to take up
to win the Mayoralty. The
election does not exhibit very much

GETTING THE HANG OF TIE School
HousE-Mr. Dickens did very sensible
thing on his arrival in New York. He went
with his agent to Steinway Hall and tried
its acoustical properties by shouting at some
one at the ether end. If all speakers would
take an opportunity when practical to test
the requirements Of the places III which
they have to speak they would often save
both themselves and their hearers much dis

and was called upon by members and Sena-

not conceal his political opinions, and says
that if the Copperheads were not pleased
with his St. Louis speech they will be no less
satisfied when he talks again. He scouts the
idea of General Hancock. conserving to be-

One Mr.. Marsten, who the other evening, ad-
dressed the Young Democrats of the Twenty
first Ward, alluded eloQuently to the peacea-
able condition of the country under Demo-
"cratic rule" In making such an argument
for his party, it is clear that this bold orator
relied mainly upon the extreme youth of his
hearers. They must, indeed, have been mere
chickens if they did not remember the kind of
"peace" which we enjoyed under the rule" OF
Messrs Pierce and Buchanan. The first was
so "peaceable' that we were in hot water
during most of the days of his administration ;
the last was so "peaceable' that he kindly
permitted us to drift into a great civil war
without raising his little finger to arrest its adj
vance while under Seymour's rule" we should
have just so much "peace" as the Ku-Klux
Klans might be good enough to allow us. The
Juvenile Democrats of the Twenty-frst should
select more knowing sChoOlmaster to teach
their young ideas how TO shoot.
New-York tribune., 1868-10-14

There are two military organizations in
New Orleans, one being called "The Seymour
"Guards" and the other "The Blair Guides"
Both these companies, when they parade, make
rather an OstentatiOuS display of their private
sentiments by carrying Confederate flags
This is honest at least if not loyal. II the
New-Orleans Democrats" 60 on in this frank
and manly way, we promise to be among the
first TO advocate their right to change their
name. and to march under the title OF "Ihe
."Blair and Seymour Rattlesnakes." This is
a more honorable appellation than that OF
Copperhead, that sly serpent giving no warn
ing of his attack, but pretending all the time
to be a very well-behaved and patriotic reptile'
To be sure, Blair as Guide doesn't suggest
very straight walking, and Seymour as Guard
wouldn't be the best possible defense against
the Ku-Klux KlansneH; but then we like
candor and confess that the New-Orleans
warriors have fairly fOrewarned us.

Cen. Gordon, at Charleston, s. c., appealed 10

ceptible. "Have we not" he SAID TO tne

The men thus appealed to by Democratic

whom The World showers its btterest scorn
and IFS fiercest ridicule. The obvious deduc-
ton is that it requires an extremely limited
degree of intelligence to make Blair and
