for him against Congress. If Johnson

The tax payers OF Franklin county arc
hereby notified that the United States Di-

one or two others were the only

And n great many in this county never
paid anything, even under the intima
ton and threat that if they should fail
to pay by a certain specified time they
would be subjected to u $500 fine, and
have to 60 to Nashville, &c. We paid
$3.50, poor as we were, and have good
grounds for saying that over $4,000

Now, what was done with the money,
what was it for, and why was it that
only a few counties were called upon to
pay this taxi And why was the threat
made that if a tax payer did not come
up and pay, he would be subjected to a
$500 fine, &c? If there is any swim

">D'"
We present this week, in the Home
Journal, q true statement in relation to
the part the Conservatives took last
year in the chrysalid state Of Negro
Suffrage. We, for one, enacted our
part, and have no apologies to make.
As Henry Watterson says, the question
was forced upon us against our wish,
and we met it the best we could. But
there are certain persons-persons in
Winchestcr-who are ready to cry out
You were in favor of the negro last
year more than the Radicals. You
subscribed to the platform offering 10
the Negro more political privileges
than tie Radicals offered him. And
these Simon-pure men are SC Disguised
with the part we took, that now they
arc willing to act with the Radicals ifa
half way plausible excuse presents it.
self, Notwithstanding they were then
SO Disguised with the idea of Negro
Equality that any compromise with
was ~sickening to them. Now,
dear Home Journal readers, let us tell
that those Simon-pure fellows were
Radicals at heart, and only wanted the
~faintest semblance of an excuse for
conniving with The Jacobins in order
their pockets might become q lit,
tie more ~plcthoric. There it is--the
truth in Il few words.

What an easy matter it would have
been at the close of the late war for the

a monument to the latest posterity, of
American %clemency. But no! Spirits
like Beast Buffers, Thad Stevens, W.
G. Brownlow's, Ben .Wadc's, Bing

nment to the latest posterity of what
vindictiveness and party ambition will
resort to. We stretch our necks to the
yoke that grows heavier each day, and
are dashed by a sctt Of perlidious scoun-
drels who play the part of petty ty-
and if we do not say we love the

he must cease to believe the lie about

are not sufficiently protected, how
would he protect them better without
