Mr.. Senator Brownlow has written
letter. It would be the death of
him if he were not allowed to "air
himself" in some way. His IA
vorite mode of keeping himself be-
fore the people when he was here
in Tennessee, was by proclama-
ton or card in the Knoxville Wing
from the "Senior Editor" So often
did he resort to the proclamation
that he was familiarity known as
''Old Proc" He will now become
as famous as letter writer from
the "Senate Chamber" His last
effort at this art is addressed to the
editor of the Washington Chronicle,
and the matter which called forth
this scintillation from his brilliant
mind is little circumstance which
occurred at Knoxville. Ex-Presi-
dent Johnson read q little paper
there which stated that as Military
Governor of this State he had fur
nished Mr.. Brownlow $500 with
which to establish Union press at
Knoxville and to defray Brown
lows expense while passing from
secession oppression to the city OF
| Nashville. So read the receipt of the
redoubtable Senator. This was q
| revelation, and it was damaging
one to Brownlow too. And he
sought to break its force by publicly
declaring that ''the impression
made by the newspapers is that
this money came out of the pocket
| of Mr.. Johnson, whereas he did not
| contribute one dollar Of it, We
of course do not know what i'm
| preston was sought to be made by
the newspapers which Mr.. Brown
low has seen, but here it was per-
fectIy we'll understood that the
money was contributed out Of the
secret service fund placed at the
dispoal of Gov. johnson by the
government. Brownlow seeks to
break the force of his indebtedness
to President Johnson for this fund
by saying sit came to him from the
funds of the Federal government" "
and that it "was paid to him by Mr..
Carson, the Sub Treasurer Of Gin
cinnati" If President Johnson
had not donated this amount out of
the secret service fund to Brown
low, who was then protesting great
friendship for Mr.. Johnson, he
would never had the pleasure
Of handling that much of
Uncle Sans money. He was
therefore indebted to Mr.. Johnson,
and to him alone, for this contribu-
ton, and then with characteristic
ingratitude he turned upon and
traduced his benefactor in that style
which is peculiarly Brownlowish.
The Senator says he added as
much more" to the contribution
which Gov. Johnson made from the
secret service fund, " and purchased
in Cincinnati, type and materials
and a large lot Of printing paper
enough in all to load five army
wagons, and followed Gen. Burn
sides army into Knoxville" So
johnson furnished him $1,000 and
burnside transportation, and thus
he was enabled to start his paper.
Burnside has not yet stood in his
way, and of course he has not
abused him. The matter may be
summed up in a nutshell thus
Johnson was of material service to
Brownlow when he needed a friend,
and she has repaid him with the
most malignant abuse.

n. SHADDINGER, late registrar for
Fayette county, has been tried in
violation Of the franchise law, found
guilty and fined $50 and removed
from office. This is we believe the
first case that has occurred under
the provisions of that law, although
it has been violated by perhaps
every registrar that has been APP
pointed. There are thousands of
instances where registrars have
refused to register citizens who
clearly came within the provisions
Of the franchise law, and the re-
fusal was based upon no other than
political grounds. In every such
instance the party aggrieved should
have appealed to the courts for re-
dress. Let this be done in the flu
ture.

When the nomination Of Ashley

under consideration in the Senate,
he was denounced in the bitterest

Edmunds called him a bold, bad

Senators supported the charges
made against him, which pro
nounced him dishonest, corrupt and
untrastworthy. Still he was con-

The Troubles In Spain.
MADRID, october 10.
The loss of life in the fighting which preceded
the capture Of Valencia was trining. The troops
had two killed and seven wounded; insurgent loss
unknown. No taxpayer or householder Of valen-
cla took part in the revolt In many Of the streets
where barricades were erected, or where resist
ance was offered to the advance Of the troops,
the walls are marked, "Here stood Valencia"
The final attack would have been made early in
the week had the troops not been obliged to wait
for ammunition. The capture Of valencia mas
had rranquillizing effect all over the country.
0ficial reports state that only afew remnants OF
dispersed bands are now roaming through the
provinces. oo
At Valencia after the capitulation, the troops
were fired upon. The troops returned the fire.
Hostilities were resumed, and fighting continued
at latest advices.

without King None can wrest from Prim the
sword, which Is the real sceptre Of Spain. Prim
sees this, and is resolved that no King shall pre-
side over Spain but one Of his own making, or un-
der his influence, and, above all, no Montpensier,
whom he has always opposed. 1t is not easy or
hardly desirable to break through an arrange

title may be fairly given to restorative which
has taken precedence Of all other tonic and al
terative preparations for period Of nearly twen-
ty years. During that long interval HOSTEL
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS may be truly said to
have enjoyed unrivaed popularity. Many prep
arations have been got up to compete with II,
but they have all fallen into its wake or sunk
into oblivion for lack Of patronage. From the
first. this now world-renownod Vegetable Tonic
has been both medically and financially success
ful. Every year has added to the number OF its
friends and the demand for It, based solely upon
the experimental proofs Of its excellence as pre-
yentye and curative, seems to have no assign
able limit The medical profession sanction anu
approye its use, and 1t is now at the head OF the
class of medicines to which it belongs the ad-
mtted, undisputcd sovereign tonic OF the age.
The statistics OF the United States Revenue De-
partment will verify the statement that it stands
alone and unapproached In the magnitude OF Its
sales as compared with those Of any other pro-
prieary remedy advertised on this side OF the At
lantic.
The explanation of this fact may be comprised
in a few words. HosTETTER's STOMACH BIT
TIERS is at once the purest, the safest and the
most potent Of all vegetable tonics, and the best
antidote to every variety OF malarious disease.
Hence IL is especially adapted to the present sea-
son of chilling dews and unwholesome vapors.
