From the Nashville Banner.l
BroWnlOW a Partner to the Profits OF
His-OWn Proclamation.

During the late term Of the Circuit Court
ut 5Smithville, DeKalb County, Judge Nc
Lain presiding murder case was tried in
which Judge Mansen NJ. Brien, OF this city,
was engaged In the course Of his argument,
Judge Brien made the startling declaration
that there is a regular partnership existing
between William c. BrOwnlOw and Colonel
Blackburn on the following terms: That the
said Colonel Blackburn shall arrest and con
veY to Nashville all men In that section OF
the State who are accused of horse stealing,
murder and other crimes, and that when
they have arrived in Nashville and before
they are tried, Brownlow shall offer q re-
aUQTd tor their arrest, BrownlOw and Black
burn divide the money between them, shar-
ing equally in the profits arising from Brown
low 5 recent proclamation"
Judge Brien elected this statement from
the evidence Of Colonel Blackburn. lie de-
nounced the partnership as a "species of
infamy heretofore unknown" and further
stated that " he expected to be assasslnated
for exposing the parties, and that the speech
he was then making was the last be ever ex-
pected to be permitted to make at the Bar.
The above report of Judge Brlen's speech
was received from an attorney In the case
a lawyer of distinguished ability, and one
whose moral sense was shocked at the idea
of such depravity as that exhibited by
Brownlow in thus prOstituting the EXecu-
tive Office to the vile purpose OF filling his
pockets with dishonest gains.
The Huntsville Vidette says Of this villain
GUS conspiracy:
The case in all its horrible details was
brought to light in open court at SmithVllIe
before the Hon. Judge McLain, and form
his we'll known zeal in furnishing illegal
nets If Is fair To Dresume that the name of
William O. BrownlOw will soon figure In the
list of indictments by the DeKalb County
Grand Jury, and that he will learn that such
exemplifcations Of loyalty will not be
allowed in the Mountain Circuit, and es-
pecially in the chivalrOus county of Dekalb.
We clip from the Louisville Democrat
the following pints:''
Senator Sprague had his leg fractured in
three places by fall from his horse. He
was carrying grist to the mill at the time,
and, for convenience, the grain was IN a
liquid state.
A train in Rhode Island ran into a flock
of a hundred and fifty sheep, and killed half
of chem The best shepherd or head Of the
flock in such case would have been an
irOn-clad ram.
kangaroo sausages from Australia are
now being introduced into England. We
suggest that this is an encrOachment on the
ancient rights of dogs.
Grant may do as a general, but after ali
he is nothing in particular.
The man who sows wild oats is apt to
raise nothing better than row.
The worst mill machinery to put grain in
is grass hopper.

Yesterday was very bright day. The
sunshine and the air both seemed relieved
by the dissolution of the Convention, and
were therefore all the more bright and
buoyant. The poor old capitol, however,
looked discolored and gloomy to degree
not to be cheered even by the sunshine. 1t
had undergone too much to recover so soon.
The stains and odors of the unclean birds
that have inhabited it for so many months
will cling to it until the venerable temple
is renovoted by the hand of art. and the free
use of the most powerful disinfectants
This pious office would be promptly per-
formed were it in possession of our own
Virginia people; but let us hope that
stranger hands will not be disinclined tc
the work, if not for affectionate devotion
at least from decorous sentiment fol
things hallowed by past history.

10 done in shameful manner. See adj
dress on this point also.
The Judges of the court of appeals, of
the circuit courts, and of the county
courts, are all to be elected by the Legis-
lature, which will be q Radical body under
the infamous gerrymandering of the Con-
vention.
The address touches the question of the
hordes Of officers to be elected. But It
omits to notice that section Is provides in
plain language that the judge of the
county court shall hold Office for eight
years, and then provides in equally plain
language that he shall hold Office for six
years This is specimen of the work OF
the vagabonds authorized by Congress 10
make a Constitution for us! Another
blunder Of the same kind is seen IN sec
ton 81, wherein all elections under .n's
ordinance" are spoken of. 1t means eitnel
this I" Constitution " or this "section'"
We shall continue to expose this patch
work of Radical rascality and malignity
from now gstil the election. Enough tor
one day has been said already. We again
ask all to read carefully the address in
another part of this paper.

Paraguay.

The latest news from this strange coun'
try, which displays such an indomitable
spirit of resistance to superior numbers and
appliances of war, is that Humaita has not
been captured nor the capital, Asuncion
occupied. 1t is now doubtful whether the
Allies in their last attack had any advan,
tage. Their fleet is still at Curupaity
and it may be inferred that the assailants
are as far as ever from conquering the
brave little nation. 1t appears to be as
difficult for on enemy to get into Paraguay
as it was during FRANcIAs reign for per-
sons of friendly intentions to enter its Dor
ders. Most assuredly, FRANc1A's Govern
ment did not tend to break the public spirit
and courage of his people. No nation OF
modern times has shown more endurance
and pluck.

WHAT FoRNEY SAYS OF VIRGINIA hos
p1TAL1TY AND RICHMOND HoTELs.-A gen
tleman connected by blood and marr1age
with the leading historical families OF vir.
pinia wrote hence to q relation IN tnas
State that he desired to invest S2o,ooo III
land. and 90 back to his old home, II ne
could live there agreeably. The writer
had been in the Union army, ana nau oone
a great service during the war tor tne parry
to whom his letter was addressed. Ine
latter recognized his obligation by answer,
ing that the Union officer could buy lano
cheaply, but that he could not IN sincerity
advise him to come, for his own relatives
would not speak to him. So the Pacific
coast, more tolerant of patriotism, will re-
ceiye the investment and a good citizen,
of whom debased and degraded Virginia IS
not worthy.
In the hotels of Richmond the nicked
and cracked tableware of the ante-war
period still does disgusting service; and
the visitor is as likely to get dessert
spoon or mustard spoon in his cup as a
teaspoon. Everything is at haphazard,
and impoverishment by war is the standing
excuse. Business is at standstill, and
there are men who count the passengers
arrived each night by the northern train,
to learn their prospect of dinner next
day, depending upon the few dollars
strangers leave for their scanty living.
Yet, with clannish inhospitaltsy, they close
their hearts to all the kindness of Union
men, and lose no occasion to vent their
hatred of the Union and its friends

What Officers are to be Elec ted IN June

What Officers are to be Elected ID June
As we understand the ordinance none
but members of Congress, and of the Le'
gislature, and State officers, are to Of
elected. Indeed, the ordinance expressly
uses the words Estate officers" 1t also
provides that UNDERWOOD "shall give GER
tifcates of election to the persons
elected" This of itself shows that nc
county or city or township officers are
included, because UNDERWOOD would
hardly be expected to certify to the cleo
ton of all these; and indeed he could not
do it in year.
But the fact is that the Legislature has
yet to divide the counties into townships,
and each township into districts. So that
these innumerable officers are not yet to
be elected. Congressman, legislators, a
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and At
torney- General, fill the bill.

shortening the track nearly one mile and

FRUITS AND VINEs.-Large numbers of
the citizens of Fauquier and the adjoining
counties have, we learn, during the past
fall and this spring, turned their attention
to the cultivation of fruits and grapes.
We learn that more than hundred thou
sand vines have been set in this county
alone, and that the number of apple, peach,
pear, and apricot scions planted have been
very great. This looks encouraging, and
We hope their success will arouse a more
general attention to the Importance of
such cultivation. 1t is one which cannot
be overdone. To say nothing of home
consumption, there will always be mar
ket for good fruits.
Mr.. A. Habersack has bought between
forty and fifty acres of the Scott estate,
about mile from Warrenton, for $50 per
acre. The land is of excellent quality.
Mr.. Habersack is practical vine-dresser
and fruit-grower, and gentleman of in
telligence and experience, and will devote
his purchase to this cultivation.-War-

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AT YORKTOWN
We received on Saturday night report
of the Republican Convention of the First
Congressional District, which met in York.
town on Friday last; but the crowded
state of our columns limits us to this brief
notice of it. Every county in the district
was represented. Mr.. L. G. BowDEN, OF
James city, was appointed temporary
chairman, but before permanent organi-
cation could be effected, objections were
made to the manner in which the Conven-
ton had been called and the meeting was
broken up by the withdrawal of the dele
gates from Richmond, Westmoreland,
York, James City, Warwick, Gloucester,
and King William.
This movement left the body without q
presiding officer, when the remaining dele
gates elected Mr.. Stevens, of Essex, chair
man. After some discussion, they de-
clined nominating candidate for Con-
gress, and adjourned. Afterwards an in
loltudl uCCUluS Va Oil tuO uClCSoeOo w 90
held, and it was finally agreed to allow the
delegates to the State Republican Conven-
tion for the district to nominate csndi-
date for Congress at their meeting in Rich
mond.
General Pierce, R. S. Aver, of Rich
mond county; Rev. D. B. White, of Eliza
beth City; and D. NJ. Norton, (negro), of
York, were the prominent men named for
Congress. Norton made characteristic
and ipfammatory speech to about 1000 ne
groes, in which no declared he would not
be bound by the action Of any packed con-
vention; but if he could not have fair
show for the nomination, he would be an
independent candidate. From all we hear,

POLICE IMBRoGLIo IN LOUISVILLE
Louisville, KY, April T.-Mayor Tomp-
pert, regarding as unconstitutional the
bill recently passed by the Kentucky Legis-
lature, which invests all power in police
matters in the hands of the commissioners
elected by the people, has directed his
chief Of police to hold the station-houses
and retain the present police force. As
soon as the commissioners receive their
commissions they will put their force to
work to bring matters to an issue.
