INFAMOUS The Huntsville (Tenn.) Vidette pub
Gshed certain facts branding Stokes as scoundre
and brute, which that gentleman (heavens, what mis-
nomer!) denied. In reply to the denial the Vidette
came back at him with terrible effect Or rather the
effect would be terrible a with shadow Of de-
cency about him. Among other testimony the follow
ing is given:
At the time Mcconnell, of Rousseau's staff came
up, saw Lieutenant White hand him his written Or
ders 1t to take charge of Hathaway's company
and forage off of any and everybody without price,
pay or charge He also said that Stokes had given
him verbal orders too; that he told him to take ur
KEYS and chickens etc. and anything else they wanted
and also that there were some id good looking Sc
cesh about the place. and for them to them
as they saw proper, if they wanted to. B. W MILLS
1t was stated by many of the soldiers that Stokes
said Oh the Of their leaving Carthage for Harris
VILE that the women all secesh women and to
take any of them and do as they pleased with them
This is about what Captain Mcconnell CLEANED from
them and embodied in his report to General Rousseau
in Nashville. ROBERT PuRsLEY.
In'February, 1865, company of Stokes com
mand was at my house and treated my daughter in
such manner, by kicking and whipping her, as to
subject her to the treatment OF physician tor some
time, and cooked their pistols her and they
Here follow statements from W. P. Hopgood, DR..
J. r. Crenshaw, William Stalcup and 7. Seay, all
charging that Stokes turned his loose indiscrim-
natey upon the people, with orders to kill ten for
one" and neither to pay receipt for anything taken
The Vidette concludes editoriay:
Here are the proofs! Read them, Hedgehog, and
let ns hear 10 more from you. We could produce
numbers of certificates from ladies OF Hartsvifie anu
vicinity in proof of what have stated in regard to
your Infamous orders The gentlemen whose names
are signed to the statements responsible in every
sense of the word and if you desire any endorsement
of the truth of what the ladies say of your Infamous
ORDERS Just call the editor of the Vdette and he will
give you such kicking such an internal scoundrel
deserves If you were in the pale of responsibility
mis- ht treat you otherwise.
There are probably some few over-charitable people
who imagine that the substantiaton of such damnng
charges would nure Gen. Stokes prospects for cleo
ton. Whilst appreciate the sentiment that prompts
the opinion, we can but deplore the ignorance dis
played As matter of course his party will support
him with intensified enthusiasm because of his being
a brute.

RADICAL VIEWS OF THE NEGRO RIoTs.-Some OF the
Radical organs just and exceedingly severe in re-
buking the negroes of Washington city for their con-
duet on the day of the elections Others pass the mat
ter over lightly, condemning the rnfianly action OF the
negroes but saying as little as possible about It, others
ignore the whole matter not making the slightest
alusion to it. Still others recognise the arocity of
the affair but hold the white alone responsible for
what the negroes did The Chicago Post for instance
says: We in this negro outbreak thew lllustra-
ton of the moral and political debasement produced IN
the colored people by long course of oppression 80
the negroes are accountable for their riots and
murders but only the white people who have debased
them by oppression. Whatever the cause of their
neral and nnitical debasement may be- think, that
so long as it continues they unit to exercise
elective franchise but such Radical partizans as the
Chicago editor are clearly of opinion that the debase
men of the negroes is reason not why they should be
DISTINGUISHED but why the white people should be.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN 1.-The Memphis Avalanche ju-
biates muchly PROSECUTING Brownow to the true
faith That sained old man has come out in favor Of
universal suffrage So well satisfied is the Avalanche
of the soundness of this doctrine which has been
strenuously advocating that not Brownlow's en-
dorsement staggers its faith. Sublime selfconfdence
In commenting upon this remarkable conversion, it
says:
We published yesterday Governor Brownlows let
ter which he boldly and unequivocaly espouses the
cause of universal suffrage The Avalanche has
achieved many triumphs during its day; but its con
version of William G. Brownlow is the grandest vic
tory of all 1t surely sublime spectacle to see
US leading the old sinner, with the staff of Pilgrim
feeble steps, trembling voice and pased limbs into
our sheep-fod. Such accession to the cause of
slligersal suffrage WILL no doubt produce lovefeast
IN uux church. general shouting and shaking hands
among chose who favor conservatism peace, equality
and Justice. We care not how much Governor Brown
low beraes Democracy, he gives the weight OF his
great name in support of the principles we have so
earnestly advocated. Indeed, the most astonishing
conversion of the nineteenth century is that OF Brown
low. From rampant, stitfnecked, red-hot disfran-
chiser, he has come squarey on the Avalanche plat
form. Not even of his coat tail or the mil
onth part of an inch of his protrudes for the late
followers of. this wonderful old hot gospeller who
yet set in their ways, to cling to. He has come over
body and SOUL boots and unmentIonabes, ana is now
on his way to the political new Jerusalem
