Judge Andrews
Judge Swami held the Circui
Court at Jonesboro last week. On
the 29th ult. he addressed the people
and the Jonesboro Union Fgao
which favors Andrews pretentions
makes the following notice of his
speech:
"At the adjournment Of court for
dinner, mis- honor, Judge Swami,
announced himself as a candidate
for the Supreme bench, for the
Eastern division Of the State. He
pitched into the present incumbent,
Hon. George Andrews, like "a
thousand of brick, and if we 'aie
any Judge of small matters his
reflections upon Mr.. Andrews, to
say the least of it, were of an ex-
ceedingly personal nature. He rep
resented him as mere adYenturer
or bird of passage, remaining in
Tennessee simply for Office, and re-
peatedly declared that he had reach
ed his present position by plain
and palpable violation Of the con-
stitution Of the State, which re-
quires a citizenship of three years
for eligibility to fill the Office of Su-
preme Judge This charge against
Mr.. Andrews involves the official
honor and integrity of Senator
Brownlow, who, as Governor of
Tennessee, appointed him to the
Supreme bench. We are rather in
clined to the opinion that when our
Senator reads this article, he will
furnish the Republican press of the
State with vindication against this
indirect attack of Judge Swami,
that will emphatically contradict the
= entleman's assurance that he is no
place hunter.

not of Salmagundi it is true, but |
one we thought very pleasing to |
the palates of those WHO look upon |
the Northern immigrant as an in
truder, for we noticed their coun-
tenaces brighten with a smile, when
he spoke sneeringly and disparag-
ingly of the carpet-bagger' An
drews. He remarked that Mr.. An
drews was mainly indebted to /
bought newspaper 'puffs for his
character as a jurist. AS for our
selves, we have to say in this con-
nection, we are decidedly and en-
phatically in favor of Judge An
drews in this contest, and we have
had no understanding with him in
this relation in any way whatever,
except the mere announcement of
his candidacy, for which we charge
him the usual fee. We are not the
men, whose principles and support
are 'on change, nor are we iouu-

A DUEL BETWEEN NEGROES.

Henry Wright and Henry Mason

honor, and prodigiOus propensity

two families, of which the two
Henrys are honored scions, there
has for some time back existed bit
ter feelings of the kind spoken of

Yesterday, at noon, the two Henrys
net TO talk family matters over, the
time was noon, the place an alley
near the bayou, and between Jack
son and Overton streets, there was
no sylvan landscape, but the tink-
ling of the coffeescolOTed contents
of the bayou made a running ace
compartment to the hOarse tones of
the two knightly sables, as they en-
gagged in angry converse. Ere long
knightly blood was up and pistols
drawn. One Henry shot, and the
bullet tore its way along the flesh
on the shoulder blade of the other ;
rapidly second bullet was sped af-
ter the first, and this time it glided
into the neck, under Henry's jaws,
and rested in his mouth. He spit
it out and prepared to take revenge.
But the bastard who had taken two
shots, was flying as no knight should
fee, and the ball sent after him
struck where no knight should be
wounded-in the back of the neck.
Both Henrys were laid on beds OF
pain, and their nccks were both sub

was announced as probable that,

throats, the two Henrys would "live
