CAPT. LEWIS, of the Port Gibson
Standard, publishes the following state
ment in reference to j. S. Morris, a
prominent leader of the Eggleston faction,
and Radical candidate for Attorney Cen
eral in the last election. He says the
statement can be proved if denied, by a
number ofleading citizens Of Port Gibson;
In the spring of that year there were about
fifty prisoners OF war, taken from the gun
boat 1ndianola, and brought to Port Gibson,
where they were kept under guard, previous
to s.being sent forward" Our ladies, with
that benevolent and kindly feeling toward
friend and foe, which characterized them
during the entire war, promptly supplied
those destitute men with bedding and food.
In this humane work our ladies were Joined
by those VINO had faced those prisoners In
the field and on the deck. Morris, however,
ever as ready to abuse the fallen as TO lick
the feet Of the conqueror, was filled with
virtuous horror at the bare idea Of feeding
a set of id yankees, and went about our
streets peddling his denunciations aud ridi-
cule against those who had ministered to
the wants Of the stranger and the captive.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE COMMERCIAL.
JACKSON, Miss, June IA report was in
circulation here to-day that bands of armed
men had been seen in the neighborhood whose
supposed object is the release of Yerger, and
some ku Klux who are in confinement here
The arrival of Company C., and of another
company, tonight, of the sixteenth Infantry,
to strengthen the garrison, indicate that trou-
BILE is not improbable. Five hundred United
States troops admirably trained and armed
with breech-loaders, will easily keep a few
prisoners from being meddled with by their
friends
This whole community will bear wit
ness that in its conception, as well in the
effect designed to be produced, this dis
true that the garrison here has been
strengthened; and it may be true, though
we do not believe it to be so, that such a
report" as the one referred to, may have
been heard by somebody, but it was not
of general circulation" grossly and
utterly northumberland so manifestly alb
surd, that it could not have been credited
il any quarter. The "report" itself was
manufactured, if it existed at all, for
sensational purpose, precisely as this dis
patch was fabricated.
The testimony of all parties in Jack
son, including the statement of the Radi-
cal organ, has established that the respon-
sibility of the tragic occurrence does not
IN any manner rest upon the community;
that 1t was due to official and personal
causes which related alone to the parties
involved that it had not the remotest
reference to political subjects; and vet
this vile attempt, by an irresponsible au-
thor, is made by indirection to implicate
the community, in order that the flames
of sectional prejudice may be fed, and to
quicken the malice of the prosecutors of
our people.
Will the Cincinnati Commercial npb-
ish, in justice to all concerned, that there
is not shadow of shade of truth in
the statement of its correspondent?

1t is a great mistake 10 suppose that the
Northern friends of the Southern con
servatives have advised them to withhold
their support from Liberal Republicans
who have repudiated the DISTINGUISHING
policy of the Bitter-Enders Of the Stokes
Eggleston wing. Referring TO the sup
port which Mr.. Senter (Anti-Disfran-
chisement Republican, is receiving from
the Tennessee Democracy, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, says:

LIBERAL PRINCIPLES IN THE ASCENDANT.

| LIBERAL PRINCIPLES IN THE ASCENDANT.
The organs of the Eggleston clique will
! find it a difficult task to put the party
whom they have denounced as ''BoIters"
under the ban because they have repudi-
| ated the heresy of disfranchisement and
refused to have political association with
its advocates, or to recognize them as Re
publicans, when a shining light of the
Republican party like Gov. Brownlow
endorses their position. Having repudi-
ated Stokes, Vthe candidate of the Low
Down Radicals, for Governor of Tennes-
see, and declared for Senter, the candi-
date of the Liberals, Gov. Brownlow thus
proves up the orthodoxy of the advocates
of free suffrage:
EXTRACT FROM Gov. BROWNLOW's
LETTER, JUNE 18th.
There is still another view of this subject
wish to present. The Supreme Court of
Tennessee, a court of our own choosing, has
recently restored to the ballot, by its late
decision, about twenty thousand rebels,
among whom were some of the active lead
ers of the rebellion, who had been excluded
therefrom by the franchise law.
We elected Grant upon the platform of
universal suffrage. East Tennessee alone
giving him about twenty-six thousand ma
Jority. In his inaugural address Grant
comes out fair and square for universal suf-
frage; the reconstruction measures of Con-
gress all proceed upon the principle of uni
Versal suffrage; the entire Republican par
ty OF the nation and the entire Republican
press of the North are out uneQuivocally in
favor OF universal suffrage. Should the Re-
publlcans OF Tennessee obstinately stand
out any longer against the great Republican
party OF the nation, and its entire press,
and also against the President and both
houses of Congress, they will simply render
themselves ridiculous in the estimation of
all besides themselves.
IL VIII be seen from the foregoing that in
my judgment the safety of the State. the
welfare of its people and the protection of
loyal citizens do not demand the perpetual
tion OF existing disabilities longer than the
time when they can be constitutionalIv re-
moved.
