A NUMBER of citizens of Camp
bell county, who are vOuched for
by Radical member of the House
of Representatives as among the
most respectable in the seventeenth
judicial circuit, and Radicals too,
petitionod the Legislature to remove
by impeachment Judge L. c. Houk,
Of Circuit Court, for habitual
drunkenness, lewdncss and inbdel-
ity. These are grave charges to
come from respectable citizens, and
Radicals too, yet the House of Rep
resentatives has refused to investi-
gate them. Is there man in the
State who believes that if Judge
IIouk was a Democrat he would
have got off thus easily For a
conscientious discharge Of duty,
Judge Frazier was impeached and
deposed by a Radical Legislature.
Here is a Judge who is guilty Of
habituaI drunkenness, lewdness,
and infdelity, according to the me
mortal Of members of his own
party, but the Radical Legislature
will not investigate the charges.
Judge Houk ought 10 demand an
investigation, and will do SO if not
guilty rs charged.

make each President in his turn
nullity, fifth wheel on the coach
of state, an incubus, an absurdity,
during the last few months of his
term of office.
The English system" is one that
has grown out of Parliamentary
Legislation and usage, just as what
is called the "British Constitution"
has grown. The founders of the
American system, however,
thought it wiser and safer
to set metes and limits to
power whether it was to be exer-
cised in the framing of laws, or the
execution. They, therefore, made
q written constitution TO be higher
than laws, customs, precedent, or
party projects. Radicalism has
done its worst to destroy it, but this
proposal practically to adopt the
English custom, and make the re-
suit of popular election the imme.
date emasculation ofthe Executive
is the most fragrant exhibition o.
contempt for the constitution yet
shown.
If Gen. Grant has lent counter
ance to this movement, he may al
well take the next step, and notify
President Johnson from his head

- THERE 4 PRESIDENT

4 Washington telegraphlc dis
patch Of the 22d says:
A petition il being circulated in the
House asking the Senate not TO confirm
any more nominations made by the Pres
idcnt this session, whether they be Re
pubIicans or Democrats. it has already
received the signatures Of nearly all the
Republican members of the House, and
it will, Il is expected, be laid before the
Senate at the next executive session, with
tue name of every Republican in the
House attached TO it. 1t is understood
that this movement has the sanction Of
Gen Grant, and was started by his par
ticular friends in the House.
A short time since a leading Rad
zeal journal said:
"Manv Senators are Of the opinion
that there should be no executive session
until after the new President is inaugu-
rated. The English system, by which
Gladstone succeeded Dlsraeli within q
week of his triumph at the polls, is gem
orally quoted as n good precedent and
some speculation is INDUCED in as to how
IT can be embodied in Legislative form.
The constitution makes it the
duty of the President to nominate
officers to the Senate, and the duty
of the Senate TO consider them.
Here. however, l. a proposition

A CLERICAL COMBAT.

L y
has been the seenc of a religious
disputation.
The Times Of that city says:
The sermon by Father Hecker,
delivered short time since in sup
port of Catholicism and against
Professionalism, has awakened a
hornets nest. From almost every
Protestant pulpit in Chicago, has
his discourse been made the subject
of comment, Of criticism, of exam
ination; and, in few cases, itmust
be added, of very undignified de-
nunciation. One week ago on
Sunday, there were several replies;
and, ON last Sunday, an assault
seems to have been made along the
entire Protestant line. The ma
neuvres of the preceding Sunday
were more of tho character Of re-
connoissances and "feelers." There
was something of the skirmishing
character something which was
preliminary to the general assault
on Catholicism which was made O.
last Sunday.
Mr.. Collier, in his sermon Oh
Sunday evening in reply to Father
Hecker, concerning the growth of
Protestant as compared with Catho-
lie churches IN this country, esti-
mated the Catholics at 1000, 600,
and the Methodists, Baptists, Pres
| byterians, Congregationalists, and
Episcopalians at 4,845,OOO. lie
says the evangelical sects have
steadily gained upon the increase in
our population. This may be true
is well known that, in the early
history of the Federal government,
the people of the United States
were inclined to look with favor
upon the doctrines of the French
infidels. All sects in the country
who regard the teachings of Jesus
as divine have combined to make
war upon those doctrines, and the
sects have increased while engaged
in that work.
| No one denies that Professionalism
has grown steadily in the United
States since the commencement o.
the present century; but Father
Hecker denies that it has kept pace
with the growth Of the Catholic
Church, and the figures of Mr.. Col
lier seem to sustain the statement
According to those figures, the
Catholics number nearly as many
as all the Protestant denOmina-
tions named above; and, as yet
our Chicago clergymen have moi
presented proof that Father Heeker
was wrong in claiming that the
Catholics are now gaining on Tho
Protestants.
| He was unquestionably right in
saying that Protestanism is now
more sorely beset than ever before
1t is compelled to combat all forms
of infdelity, and what is called lib
sral Christianity, as well as the Wig,
orous assaults OF such reasoners as
Father Hecker in the Catholic
church.
1t is said that the increase in the
Catholic Church in the United
States is attributable mainly to i'm
migration. As regards converts
among native Americans, the Pro
testants undoubtedly gain more
than the Catholics; but this does
not affect Father Hecker's state
ment that the latter are increasing
in numbers and influence faster
than the former. The question is
not, where the Catholics come from,
but are they coming in such num-
bers as will enable them in a few
years to outrank all of the Protest

CONGRESS SUSTAINING FRAUD.

Col. VIM. F. Switzler was elected
to Congress from the ninth district
of Missouri, but the Radical Secre-
tary of State took the responsibility
of throwing out the vote of one or
two counties and gave the certificate
to Anderson, the Radical candidate.
Col. Switzler contested the right OF
Anderson to the seat and the COM
mittee on elections reported in his
favor at the last session, but for
some reason, the matter was sent
back by the House of Representa-
tives for further proof. The other
day the committee submitted a
unanimous report that Col. Swift
Ter was the duly elected and
therefore the rightful claim
ant to the seat. On Thurs
day the House of Representa-
tives awarded the seat to Anderson
Old members say that this is the
first time the unanimous report OF
a committee was rejected. Among
those who voted against giving the
seat TO the man who was legally
elected, and SO reported by the COM
mittee on elections, were Maynard,
Mullins, Stokes, and Trimble, from
this State. They have become SC
accustomed TO the disregard of law
in Tennessee, that they have nc
respect for the rights of man who
happens not to be a Radical.

The moyal militia" called out
in the summer of 1867, to aid the
Radicals in carrying the elections of
that year, cost the taxpayers of
the State s329,126. The expenses of
the State government in 1860, ex-
Guiding interest on the State bonds
and the appropriations to schools
and otherpublic charities, amounted
TO S354,5 29, or only about S25, 600

HOW TO MEET THE EMERGENC'

Gov. BrOwnl0w has notified the
people that he will declare martial
law in portions of Middle and West
Tennessee, and the Knoxville Press
and Herald understands that these
portions embrace about twenty
counties. The question now is,
How shall the people meet this
usurpation? The constitution of
Tennessee declares "that govern
ment being instituted for the com
mon benefit, the doctrine of non
resistance against arbitrary power
and oppression, is absurd, slavish,
and destructive ofthe good and hap
piness of mankind" 1t is the duty
of the people to exhaust all the
remedies which the laws of the
country give them. The usurpations
of the Brownlow dynasty are about
to assume such shape that they
can be reached through a tribunal
to which the people may appeal
with entire confidence that Justice
will be done them. The cOnstitu-
ton Of the United States provides
that "the privilege of the writ of
haJeaS corpus shall not be sus-
pended. unless when in cases of re
bellion or invasion the public safety
may require it, that ono capita
ton or other direct tax shall
be laid, unless in proportion to
the census or enumeration herein
before directed to be taken ;" that
"nO State shall, without the consent
of Congress \ \ keep troops
or ships of war in time of peace;
that trial of all crimes, except in
case Of impeachment, shall be by
jury that i" the right of the PEG
pie to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated" and that
ono person shall be held TO answer
for a capital or otherwise infamous
crime, unless on a presentment or
indictment of grand jury, except
in cases arising in the land or naval
service, or in the militia, when in
actual service in time of war or
public danger; nor shall any per-
son \; X be deprived Of
life, liberty, or property, with
out due process Of law"
And it is further provided that
" this constitution, and the laws of
the United States which shall be
made in pursuance thereof, 4
shall be the supreme law of the
land and the Judges in every
State shall be bound thereby, any
thing in the constitution or laws Of
any State to the contrary nOtwith-
standing" Ii is plain to be seen
that the constitution of the United
States clearly covers the usurpation
which Gov. BrOwnlow has annOunc-
ed he will exercise. 1t expressly
forbids the suspension Of the writ
of hdJedS corpus it prohibits any
State, without the consent of Con
gress, keeping troops in time of
peace; and il declares that the trial
by jury shall be inviolate, and
that no man shall be held to answer
for crime, except on presentment or
Indictment by a grand jury yet the
Governor of Tennessee assepst that he
will declare martial law and that of
tenders will be turned over " to the
military, who will try them and
upon their conviction, dispose of
them in a summary manner" Now
when he declares martial law in any

county in this State, and the militia
arrest any citizen, let the friends Of
that citizen apply Immediately to
Judge Trigg for a writ of habeas
corpus, and the right of the militia
to try that man will soon be settled.
Let the people of any county where
martial law may be proclaimed,
meet tho issue fairly and squarelyr
and there cannot be a doubt as to
the result,

liz is given out that the policy of
the Radicals is to confirm no ap-
pointments that President Johnson
may make, unless it is absolutely
necessary to fill some office, or
where the nominee is acceptable to
the incoming administration. They
want Gen, Grant to have as many
Offices to bestow as possible. There
