please find two dollars, in settlement Of bill
for one years sub ;cription to your paper
Your paper, my dear friend, aside from your
connection with it, is always welcome
guest; for in looking through its columns |
find SO many "dear familiar" names of people
and of places, that my thoughts are always
carried back to our Confederate days, Of
which we still cherish so strong an affection
ate recollection, mingled with sorrow at
their unhappy ending.
Many are the unfortunate Rebs, whose sad
portion it is to have to reside in this, the vor-
tex Of our political whirlpool, where the
chips and weeds and rotten wood of humani-
ty, come to the surface, mingled with the
troth and scum Of their own say ings and do
ings; who look eagerly for the coming of the
VIRG1NIAN, sure to find therein some consol-
ing words to cheer and comfort; or an open,
bold assertion of those principles SO dear to
the heart of every son Of the Old Diminion.
So VIC have an affection for you, and sincerely
bid you "God speed" Continue to send the
paper to the same address. and oblise

Buying Voters.

The Democratic papers have been
sorely pressed to find reasons for the
overwhelming defeat of their party in
the last New Hampshire election.
Some account for it by saying that it
was no defeat at all, the Republican
majority being a few hundred less
than it was last year. Some, like
MILES O'REILLY," maintain that
the greenback doctrine advocated by
GEORGE II. PENDLEToN, aud the i'm
portation into the State of such Apos-
ties of Peace as DEAN, BURR, and
VOORHEES, to do the speaking, was
the blunder that gave the State to the
Republicans. Still others, like the
Dayton Ledger, VALLANDIGHAM' S
organ, contend that the Demo-
Gratis were cowardly, and did
not meet the issues with the
boldness and daring that the cri-
sis demanded; hence the disaster
The New Albany Ledger, on the other
hand, raises the old and stale cry of
fraud, "fraudr' 1t says its advices
are that the fifty thousand dollars
raised by the Grant interest in New
York and Philadelphia, was unbIush-
ingly used at the polls on the day of
election. This means, of course, that
it was used to buy up voters. The
love of many New Hampshire Demo
Gratis for greenbacks constrained
them to vote the Republican ticket.
We think the Ledger ought to be
slow thus to acknowledge the mer
ceuary character of the members of
its party. This buying voters is
an expensive business. The Mem
phis AUIlancAe admits that the Dem
ocrats in that city tried it effectually
and found it viii not pay. It says, in
commenting on the result of the cleo
ton in that city:
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-03-19

TIE facts speak badly for the ne
gr0es. Itshows, treachery, deceit and
fraud on the part of our colored v0-
ters. Webb, and Wardlow and Gil
bert, and Eli, and Parham, and Delap,
are all true, but their friends are
treacherous. aOne hundred negroes
voted the Conservative ticket. and
these one hundred cost US five thou
sand dollars"
Now it is evident, from this extract,
that the votes of New Hampshire
Democrats are to be had for much less
money than those of the Tennessee ne
groes, or else the fifty thousand dollars
raised in New York cut but small
figure in the campaign. We regret to
hear such charges made against the
New Hampshire Democracy by their
Western friends We have been dis
posed to give them credit for pluck
and a great deal of energy. All they
needed 10 have achieved success was
better cause.

his persecution, but how that could
be when his princ.p pal friends and de-
Tenders were Republicans, We cannot
imagine.
But We have not the space, even
had we the desire, to criticise the
Captains card at any length. All we
can say is, that it was most unfortu-
nate that the facts submitted by him
to the War Department did not, in
the estimation of those examining
them, refute the previous facts upon
which the sentence was based, and
thereby secure a revocation Of the
order directing his dismissal from the
seryice

GarbIIng WOMB Yin.

The Democracy Of our city, who
were so jubilant, few days ago, are
fast losing their complacency. The
situation " is becoming unsatisfac-
tory. The apparent inactivity of their
opponents induced them to believe
that they would have little or no con-
test for the offices in the April cleo
ton. As the time Of election draws
near, however, they begin to realize
that the Republican Union party has
not lost its vitality. They begin, also,
to ascertain that the people are not
disposed to entrust the MANAGEMENT
Of the affairs of great and rapidly
growing city in the hands of such
men as have been put in nomination
by them. We dare say that, had the
Democracy to do the work Of nomi-
mating over again, more care would be
taken in the selection of their candi-
dates. But, blinded by the supposed
certainty of success, they nominated
representative men, and are just be-
ginning to discover the mistake they
have committed.
The Courier sees the impending
danger, and hopes to divert attention
from the ticket to politics in other
States. Hence, in its issue yesterday,
it gives what it pretends are extracts
from one of Senator WADE's speeches
in Ohio, and also an extract from the
Boston Journal We are satisfied
the extracts from Mr. WADE's speech
are garbled in such a manner as to
pervert their meaning, and we unhesi-
tatingly pronounce the pretended ex-
tract from the Boston Journal a for
gerry. We are confident no one can
produce a copy of that paper contain
ing the paragraph which is quoted by
the Courier as copied therefrom. We
demand the date of the Boston Jour
nal containing the extract quoted by
the Courier. The responsibility for
the fraudulent quotation rests upon it,
for it introduced the quotation with
the following comments, indicating
that, the copy of the Boston Journal
lay before the editor when he was
writing:
But when looking further we find
a Republican Journal paper sup
posed to reflect all that is elevated in
the social ideas of the New England
States, joining the Buckeye slanderer,
in his reckless assaults upon the for
eign element of our population, we
can scarcely restrain expressions of
indignant surprise. Not content, how
ever, with a general denunciation of
the alien class, the Boston paper
makes our German population the
subject of grossly insulting comment

Cant. WiIlard's Card.

We hope our readers will not be
deferred from reading Capt. VIII
LARD's card because gifts great length.
Although brought to US in proof
sheets at a late hour yesterday-hav-
ing been sent to the Courier on Tues
day-we print it in full to the exclusion
of much news aud more interesting
reading matter This, we think, is a
strong manifestation that the JOURNAL
Is disposed to show the Captain fair
play, however his party organ has
heretofore treated Republicans who
have asked a similar favor at its
hands. But we here declare that the
favor we concede to the Captain shall
not be urged as a precedent by others
who may regard themselves as hurt
by some of our structures.
We have only a word to say as to
the Captains defense. To properly
estimate it. we must be put in posses
sion of the facts upon which the War
Department based its order dismiss
ing the Captain from the service. All
we know-and that we CLEAN from the
Captains defense-is. that all the tes-
timony submitted by MIN this morn
ing, and much more, has been before
the War Department From the
statements in the various communal
cations, it appears that all the Cap
tain's evidence, backed by the infu-
ence Of many of the leading Republi-
cans and Democrats N and out of
Congress, were unable to secure a
revocation Of his sentence. This is
most remarkable. Add to this the
fact that the Captain has been
unable to present a solitary fact
to designate who are his prosecutors,
or any malice whatever in the case,
and the entire proceedings, on the as
sumption that he was dismissed with
Ut evidence, become incomprehensi-
bic. 1t is true, the Captain insinuates

CanaFd About the Danger OF a Dis.
tuFbance In Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, March 18-The fol-
lowing letter, signed by Radical and
Conservative ex-officers of the United
States army, has been prepared for
publication In the Banner tomorrow
We. the undersigned ex-ofiicers of
the United States Army, aud bona
FJe Representatives of the State of
Tennessee, have read with much re-
greet the sensational dispatches from
our State, representing to the country
at large and the authorities at Wash
Ington, that our present State Gov
eminent was in immenent danger of
being overthrow by armed resist
ance. We have full and complete
opportunity of being as thorough
~ acquainted with the condition of
affairs in this State, as the authors of
the dispatches, and we most positively
assert that peace and quietude, to
remarkal lie degree, prevails all over
the State at this time, and that there
IS no more danger of an armed resist
auce to the laws Of the State or the
United States, In Tennessee than IN
any other State in the Union. The
attempt to deceive the country into
the belief that we are living in state
Of fear and anarchy is detrimental to
the interests OF our State, and is used
extensively and effectually by immigra-
ton agents eff the. States IN New York
aud at other points, to prevent immi-
grafton to Tennessee, and to induce
capital and enterprise of every de
scriptiOn to seek employment else
where. As citizens and loyal men Of
Tennessee, we feel called upon to en-
ter our protest against such dema-
gogueism, and assure the country at
large that the citizens Of Tennessee
are, at present, a quiet, peaceable and
law-abiding people.

WHAT point does the JOURNAL ex-
pect to make by asserting that John
Mclean, Harry Porter, Hank Brook
locker aud others manifest an interest
in the city election? Hank Brook
locker represents more taxable prop
erty in the city than the JOURNAL re-
porter ever did or probably ever will.
Now, why should the JOURNAL man
speak as though it was strange, or
more than Mr.. b. right to interest
himself ?-C0urjer.
Why does the Courier object to our
giving the leading and most active
members of its party the prominence
their activity at Ward meetings and
their general fidelity to, and influence
in, the party deserve? Nobody OBJ
jects to Messrs. PORTER and BROOK-
LOCKER doing all they can for the
success of the Democratic party if
they are satisfied, as they seem to be,
that its success promises to add to
the value of their peculiar interests.
