THE DESPERATION OF A DISAP-
POINTED CANDIDATE.

The desperation of Stokes is eX-
citing profound establishment. lie
entered the canvass two months
ago with the confident air Of a man
who was sure of an election. In
deed, he boasted that he had q sure
thing Of it; that there were forty
thousand negroes who would vote
for him, and thirty thousand men
who wore blue coats who would do
the same, besides a large number of
white men who had not belonged TO
the army. After canvassing but 4
very short time he discovered that
he had made a grievous mistake in
the position he had taken upon the
suffrage question. And then he
began TO shuttle in such way as to
show that he was trying to toy
with those who held liberal senti-
ments, while he was at heart with
the DISTINGUISHING element of his
own party, lie was for a conYen-
ton in counties where that measure
was popular, and against an ex-
tension of the franchise where
that appeared to be the sentiment
of a majority. Never did a
candidate shift his sails so often to
catch the popular breeze. By the
time he crossed over into Middle
Tennessee he discovered that this
game would not win; that the tide
was setting strongly, even in East
Tennessee, in favor Of the restora-
ton of the franchise to the white
taxpayers of the State, and then
we find him asserting everywhere
that he is a better suffrage man than
Gov. Senter, and that he would en-
franchise the "Rebels" long before
the latter would. But this failed to
excite enthusiasm in his behalf, and
we next find him and his organs
threatening to have tho"Rebels"who
should vote for Senter arrested and
tried by court martial for violation
of their parole. Our Chattanooga
correspondent reported that while
there, Stokes expressed in private
conversations with his followers a
determination TO have the State re-
manded TO i provisional govern
mcnt, with a military Satrap for
Governor, in the event the people
did not elect him This so elated
his cohorts that they publicly
boosted that Sentcr would never be
Governor of the State, and this
boast was made in various counties,
because il was believed Stokes was
all powerful with tho Grant admin
istration. Ii was about this time
that Stokes sent Roderick Random
Butler and Arnell, two Of his bench
men, to Washington to arrange this
matter and have all the Senter
officeAholders in the State removed.
He was not willing to tolerate an
honest difference OF opinion, and

files At Washington. BY examining them be
gill ascertain that Haviland was kicked out
Of the soldiers bounty business several years
.oo by the Secretary Of War, on the charge
Of "serious irregularities in paying collee'
tons over to his clients" He afterwards
had his face slapped at his Office IN DHven'
port, by Capt Alexander Murray, az othcer
Of the regular army, whom he grossly insult
ed for following instructions received IRON
Washington in regard to the matter. Havi'
land poeketed the csstgation, and brought
suit for assault aud battery, but The case
was very properly dismissed, owing to his
contemplate manner of melting the attack
Sometime afterwards a prominent paper in
Iowa openly denounced Haviland as boun'
ty thief, in response to which he wrote the
editor letter begging him not to say any
thing more about the matter.
Last sumner we had occasion to publish the
statement Of a soldier from Edgngton, in
this county, who publicly charged Hayiland
with swinding him out of a portion of his
bounty.
"TAe Soldiers FTiend' is a smutty little
advertising sheet which Havilaud prints and
gives away, in order to gull that portion Of
the public residing outside Of Davenport
who know nothing of its publisher or his
reputation as pension agent.
We think the Rim has made one OF its
usually sagaoious recommendations.

And in the EVENING ARGUS of the 18th Of
February 1858, we find it stated that
"THE old Case house. at the foot of Arsen
al street, was sold at public auction to-day,
to John Mcmahon, the city reserving the
stone and requiring the immediate removal
Of the house.
The purchaser, Mr.. John McMahon,is the
proprietor of the new hotel and boarding
house near the Tannery, called the Emmett
House, and he used the old bricks from the
Case house for filling the walls of his new
house.
And yet Murdocks organ has the effront
cry to claim credit for him for au act per.
formed by the democrats the fact is
he never had anything to do with it.
But that is fair sample Of Murdock's
capital. He is trying to get credit among
the people by basing his claims on the acts
Of the democratic administration.

FALLING From GRACE.-Rev. II. Baylies,
formerly pastor Of The Fifth street Metho-
dist church, Davenport, was considered by
his devoted followers, and especially by the
female portion Of them, to be mice man
in every respect, and in the very highest
adaptation of that feminine phrase. His
low, sweet notes ofeloquence were strangely
potent in retaining pyramids fromshe burn
ing" while his zeal in the good cause OF
human redemption seemed beyond question.
About q year ago he went to New England
with his family, from whence he had at first
emanated and for time was lost to the sor'
rowing parishioners whom he had left be-
hind. But tale now floats back, con.
frmed in every particular, that his lady, a
refined and educated woman, has been COM
PEELED to obtain a divorce from him, and
that the bonds of matrimony between them
have been severed. The Davenport Gazette
says that the exact cause Of the rupture is
not known there, but tina. rumor says ii a
a bad one.

licenses being doubled; and that, the next
year, a democratic administration put them
back to the old figure. Don't st. t. re-
