THE LEGISLATURE.
EInafprlRI District


NASHVILLE, July ], lS69.-To the peo-
pie Of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery
and Cheatham counties: Solicitations by
letter and in person received for the pact
few weeks from every county in this floate-
rial district, and representative, as | am
induced to believe, of the solid and sub
stantial portion of the constituency, have
brought me forward az a candidate for
your suffrage for a seat in the next Legis-
Ia ure.
In obedience to these calls, l hereby an
nounce myself candidate, and propose
to meet assemblies Of the people on every
proper occasion before the 9Th of Angus.
| do not affect that do not desire to be
elected, though, for myself | could mole
proftably employ the time. But, believ-
ing that understand the immediate BUSH
ness necessary for the promotion of the
in crest of the people of the district and that
some previous legislative experience has
qualified me for the position, | offer myself
| am in favor of the most prompt actioL
that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature, or the people in their Rover-
eign capacity under the Bill Of Rights, or
ali couioined, to secure the assembling of
COuNoullOu d. tue cdAllcSI pIdCIlCdDlo
moment, to amend the constitution and
laws, and remove all existing disabilities
in regard to the elective franchise. The
most feasible plan conformable to law, is
the best, and the one will favor by vote
and voice. The privileges now enjoyed
by any portion of the community, do
not propose to disturb.
The business interests Of this constitu-
ency in several important features demand
legislation. The mercantile community,
in my judgment, needs a representative
who comprehends their wants and sympa-
thises with their condition under present
laws. The general economic interests of
the people in every pursuit, while requir-
ing broader and more liberal legislation,
should be under the discipline of stricter
statutes, and such measures shall receive
my support.
In this brief card, these are all the
points necessary to allude to, but in be
cominga candidate | expect to meet voters
OF every kind and deal frankly, and with
this view, lay my name before you,

A statement in the Press and Times OF

ference that the bran-dance which occurred
last Saturday evening at the place of John
C. Fehr on the Franklin pike was disturbed
by a Williamson county brave, named
Barnes, who, mounted and visored like
rome chivalric knight of the olden time,
rode up to the festive yard and fred viii
famous shots into the thick mass Of the
dance, TO the great CONSERVATION of The
happy participants. Mr.. F, hr desires us
to say that the statement is entirely desti-
tude of truth, nothing having occurred to
mar or disturb the festivities at his place
The firing between Barnes and the negro
took place some two or three hundred
yards distant, and neither alarmed or en-
dangered the dancers. The statement of
Mr.. Fehr is sustained by other persons who
were present.

Returned

Postmaster Hopkins has got back from
Washington, looking "as pleasing as a
basket of chips" and altogether as lovely.
This fact indicates that the object of his
mission, whatever it may have been, was
successfully accomplished. If he went to
the Federal capital on business immedi-
ately connected with the interests of the
department, he no doubt gcl it fixed to suit
his notion, or he would still be there try
ing-that's his style. Or if he journeyed
to the nations headquarters for the pur-
pose of counteracting any bad influence
that Stokes aud his friends may been ex-
erc:sing over the bosses of the situation in
regard to the federal appointments in this
district, it may be safely copjectured that
be succeeded, at least SO far as the postal
department was concerned, or he would
still be begging away" at it
for that's his style too. So much
for being interchangeable, inevitable, ire
pressible, ubiquitous, deter mined, and all
that sort of thing. Another sort Of man
in Office nowadays, is in constant danger
of having his official nose knocked out OF
joint if he happens to support any body
else than the ilIustrious author Of the
Duncan letter, for il is said that he has
many friends at court. Be all that, how
ever, as it may, we cordially say good
morning to the returned Postmaster, and
| bid him waIch Eli Stokes.

Committee on resolution


The following card from P. Il. Nlchoi
explains itself, and relates to matter
which the clerk feels that he has been uu'
Justly dealt with BY those who were not
acquainted with the facts in the case:
To the Editors of the Union and American.
I desire to correct an impression on the
minds of some relative to the charge by
me Ct thirty cents each for duplicate certih-
Gates to voters.
I simply wish 10 say that | have never
at anu time, received for my own beneht,
fire cents remuneration for my services or
for the services of my clerks rs Commas
sioner of Registration.
The small pay heretofore allowed by
the County Court under the act OF 1860,
was all given to my deputies, |. II. Fanar
and n. w. TrimbIe. The work performed
by myself and deputies in office was entire
" gratuitous, and now l rendering services
moi required of me as Clerk,
and for which 10 provision is
made by the act OF the Lee lsia'ure
making it the duty of the Clerks to issue
certificates to voters. The public Will bear
in mind that these are not original bnt
duplicate certificates that nave lssueu, anu
propose TO issue, with view only to accom-
nrodate the public, and not for my own
benefit, az has been minated by many, VINO
am charitable enough to believe, would
not purposely irjure or do me injustice, and
who are not acquainted with the facts In
the case. do charge twenty-five cents Tor
the affidavit as to the lost or miSldid certn'
Gates, and for printing blanks. A few hun
dred duplicate certificates will be issued In
all out Of the number first granted, but,
before this could be done, | employ ed Judge
w. A. Glenn and G. w. McGinnis TO make
an inder book of names for the
convenience of applicant. They were
engaged three lCeekS preparing this work
| and agreed TO accept the small pittance OF
hirfy cents on each certificate issued for
their services. Hence collect that amount
for them and not myself Besid.s the
whole clerical force Of my office is nor &C
cupied in attending to this business, and
we expect no compensation for our servl,
ces. The pay for The certificates Issued
does not inure to mig benefit, either direct
| Iy or indirectly.
| trust this explanation NAV be sati+fae
| tory I, all. P. l.. NICHoL.
