BrOWRIOW on the BIaCk-baack
sheep Of the Flock.

Under the heading of Disgracefal
and Infsmous,u Brownlow thus relieves
himself in the last number Of the Knox
vile Wbig:
In some sections Of the State, where
there are serambles for office, there are
persons Of the Republican party de-
nouncing and Safeguarding each other
at a more furious and bitter rate than
they have ever beer abused by the rebels.
Ii the parties We refer to 'ould content
themselves by establishing that each
other are personally corrupt and have
been guilty of crimes which should con
sign them TO hell or the penitentiary, 1t
would be q good thing, for 1t proves
nothing sgainst the principles Of any
psrty to show that there are certain bad
men who identify themselves with them
from bad motives. In his Knoxville
speech, lastsammer, Etheridge said every
time he had been 8 candidate for Office,
81 some men have voted for me- who ought
to have been in the peniteItiary when
they cast their ballot"
The parties we refer to-these ulcers on
the body politic-aTe not satisfied with
showing, or attempting to show, the
vileness OF their enemies natures. They
90 farther. Tney tell base lies, affecting
every EbSpubltSSn III tu5 States AAcJ
make statements basely slanderOus of
the principles and policy OF the party
they profess to support. In the blind
ness OF their rage st disappointed hopes,
they do this to bring to their support the
rebel party, and for the sake OF crafty
ing personal spite they furnish the IA
my with great clubs, made out of mon
strous lies, to strike the great rep
resented by Grant and COifsx. Loyal
men should lock out for such black sheep
In white covering, aud when they detect
them, kick them from the fold as uneer-
enormously as a gentleman would kick 3
NANCY dog from his parlor.

EEE-ROsECRANs.

On our frstpage, to-day, We publish the
correspondence between these distin-
suished Generals. The simple dignity
of the answer Of our incompatible LEE
Is the best expression OF the views and
feelings Of our people that has yet sp-
pearsd. He ssys that we only want
peace, traRqtality, the restoration Of c /.
ssttaionol tar, and the restoration
Of our birth right-sey government
No man can read the let
ter Of General LEE, without feel
ing that in emerging from the self-im-
posed silence that has characterized him
since the close of the war, be has added
to his great services in behalf OF the
South, and deserves anew the heartfelt
gratitude of her stricken people.
To General RosECRANs we are indebt-
ed that thepeople Of the North are to-day
in possession offs guarantee OF our peaceful
intention that Throughout the South
meets with a hearty and enthusiastic
Amen.
After this, not one word should be ut
by the public men Of the South
that is not in harmony with these ex-
pressions of our representative mss.
They should, one and all, seek to initiate
his dignity and brevity.

Brownlow, in bis paper, the Knoxville
RAiG OF Wednesday, says " II the militia
Is authorized, and be inds 1t necessary
to call them ont, they will be ordered out
to whatever extent be may deem it
necessary to protect loyal men-white
or blaek.u
But" he adds, "it is not well to give
the rebels and bad men in the State,
generally, any occasion or pretext for
beginning the war of races so much
desired and so often predicted, and there
FORE he concludes:
1.-THE Governor, on this account, may
not ct first call out any but the white
troops, 30 that no shadow Of excuse can
remain for white men numbering and
beating the black men. But, il the
white militia are i~nadsquste to suppress
riot and characterization, then the col
ored troops, which will be- held SIS q re-
serve corps, will be called out In sufficient
strength to put down all resistance 70 the

SUGGESTIONS TO MERCHANTS


Along the lines OF our various rail-
roads and banks Of our streams-in every
village, at every gin-espital from New
York, Cincinnati and Louisville is trying
to divert the cotton which prope-'y be-
longs to tkis city, to their markets.
Capital from New York cannot afford
to pay 5 higher price for cotton than
Memphis. Why? Because it takes q
longer time for returns to be made. Cot
ton bought for the New York market
takes in transit from ten to twelve days,
and the same occupied in making sales
and returns. Coming back other seven
days are consumed, requiring three
weeks for q turn over Of the capital en-
ployed.
Suppose Memphis makes he advan-
ces. She possesses already q fine mar
ket. The cotton can be brought here,
sold, and the returns made within one
week, so that only one third Of the capt.
tai necessary for the purchase and con-
trolling Of the cotton for this market, as
against New York, is required.
II profitable for New York how much
more so for ourselves. There are firms
with whom already arrangements have
been made by New Yorkand Cincinnati
houses, and cotton which properly be-
longs to Memphis will never reach it,
because our merchants have, Is this re-
spect, neglected their own interest.
1t is wen known that the planter pre-
fers, il the same facilities are offered to
them from Memphis, to do their business
here lear at home, and there lie still time
for arrangements TO be made that viii
this cotton, which otherwise viii
be lost to this market. |

OFFICIAL CORRUPTION.
The Mayor of Nashville Bound
over to the Criminal Court.

Agrest deal Of interest was yesterday
manifested in regard to the decision Of
Justices CAssetty and Pohl, in the case Of
| Mayor Alden, charged with forcibly bril-
bling an electOr. At 4 O'Clock in the az
teruoon, the hour announced for the rem
deriDg Of the decision, the office Of JUS
| tice Cassetty wa crowded until standing
room was at a premium.
Justice Cassetty said that they had lis
tened with the utmost patience to the
| facts deposed, the argument Of counsel
| and the authorities relied upon la this
cause. From the proof it appeared that
| one J. +. Mcfarland was employed by
the corporation OF Nashville; that his
salary was 81 so per day; that be was
notified by the Mayor, A. E. Alden, Of
said city, that if he did continue to op-
pose his administration and his r~e-elec-
ton, ne should be discharged. That he
declined TO sustain his administration or
to support him in that relation; that an
other man was chosen il his stead who
would vote for the said Alden for said
salary and said Mcfarland was lis
charged because of his failure to sgree SO
to vote. The authorities relisd upon by
counsel for the prosecution ana defense
were as follows, viz: Code or Tennessee,
section 1894, page SIS, also section 1900,
AMI the common Jaw. But they con-
fessed that these authorities did not sat-
isfy them, ana therefore for q definition
of bribery tlsey referred to Sd Greenleaf,
nsge T8. section II, and by this additional
sufhoray were persuaded that this cause,
undf the facts presented and authorities
reHed upon, q cause which should be in
CURED into by the peers Of said Alden.
II 8 candidate or person pretended to
influence the vote Of "a elector it was q
misdemeanOr and a violation of the
1t vas intended by our fore
fathers, who framed the Constitution,
that q man, in casting his vote, should
be free and Rndisturbed.
Mayor Alden was bound over in the
sum OF $1,000, with Ger. George Nancy
aud J. 9. Ogdsn IS securities for his APP
pearsuce before the present term of the
Criminal Court.
Just after the decision had been rem
iered, and brfJrs Alden hed yet signed

marked, Il VIII pu. cur more Of the
