A Republican Estimate Of the Brownlow
Despotism.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Greenville, East
Tennessee. thus faithfully depicts the
abuses of the Tennessee oligarchy:
The anomalous condition of political
affairs in Tennessee has been the subject
of frequent comment by newspapers of
all sections and parties, the Democratic
journals, of course, treating it in terms
Of unmeasured condemnation, while the
Republican organs approve and justify
or excuse the extraordinary conduct Of
Southern party friends. The Times and
other independent journals have, as
would be expected, taken a more rational
view of the situation here, and expressed
hope for better things. And yet I
doub! whether the condition Of Tonnes
see politics is as fully understood by
Northern editors and readers as it should
Be, ss no one probably has had the pa
tience-save the proof-readers-to read
the elaborate statement of grievances
presented to the Fourth Of July Conves-
ton by the delegation from this State.
True Republicans, not Radicals, feel
that the Northern Republican jour
nails are doing themselves and the
party great injustice Ly sanetloning and
sustaining the policy OF the " Browniow
government" No single principle of
republicsnism is regarded by this fac
ton, though they plume themselves upon
their radicalism and moral ideas. They
have not only disfranchised two-thirds of
the white population, possessing three
fourths of the intelligence, refinement
and wealth of the State, but they have
also disqualified them from holding Of
fee of profit or trust, or from even sit
ting as jurors, and conferred their priv.
leges upon their former slaves, who by
law are exempt from paying even poll
tax. This class, who pay st leas. three
fourths Of the tax, has not a single vote
or word in deciding what use shall be
made of a single dollar Of the vast reve.
nue. annually collected from them. Even
the municipal government Of the large
cities is controlled by men who are
hardly freeholders, and, but for the
offices they hold, would net be residents
even Of the cities that they now govern.
Ten newspapers, with an aggregate
circulation Of less than ten thousand,
are designated by the Governor to do all
the public printing. Three,fourths Of
the Judges, Councillors and District
Attorneys are the appointees of the Gov
ernor, though by the Constitution they
are elective. Every county in the State
has in It an officer styled Commissioners
Of Registration, who says who shall and
who shall not vote, ahd from his jndg-
ment there is no appeal How loyalthey
are to the Governor and his clique, may
be inferred frsm the fact that with a
population of 200, 900. Tennessee poIled
less than 1000 votes in the late election.
Bu. if, by chance or otherwise-say by
honesty IN the Commissioners county
polls q strong Conservative majority, the
Governor declares the registration void,
depos4s the old Commissioner, appoints
new one more faithful, and, presto
behold a loyal county giving large major,
tiles for Brovnlov and his favorftes.
All this is done in the name and for the

From the N. Y. SUNDAY Times. Tth.l
The Mother of Presidents has been
abundautly cursed. Uponno other State
nave the penalties of rebellion fallen so
heavily. Her soil was the central battle
ground of the war. She was harried and
desolated, alternately, by both belliger-
ents. Her stately mansions were sacked
and destroyed; her cultivated farms and
rich plantations were turned into howl
ing wilderness; the very boundary lines
of her magnificent estates were obli.er-
ated, and three-fourths of her population
reduced to absolute pauperism. But all
these evils are collapsed by the misfortune
that has recently befallen her under the
jurisdiction of the modern Jeffries, Judge
Underwood, the friend and patron OF
felons. Under the ruling OF this Infa-
nous man, her murderers, thieves, and
other villains incarcerated for their
crimes. are to be let loose upon society,
to finish the work Of ruin that the sword,
the torch and the greed of political mer-
cenariss have partially accomplished.
Her self-protecting laws are pronounced
null and void. Under the decision
of Underwood--unless Congress comes
to the rescue-there will be general
Jail delivery throughout the State. He
pretends that he has been governed

in his monstrous course; but even ifthis
we're true-and the soundest lawyers in
the country deem it false--is be not an

The Alabama Claims.

Dispatch to the New York Post,]
WASHINGTON, December 26.-Since II
has become known that the negotiation
for the settlement Of the Alabama claims
has been received, your correspondent
has endesvored to ascertain the kind Of
agreement which would be ratified by the
Senate if sent to it by the President
Many prominent Senators, including
members of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, have had an interchange Of
opinion on this subject, and after care
ful survey it is found that the following
draft contains all the CONCESSIONS to
England which would stand any chance
of being considered or ratified by the
Senate: :.
/. The British government must admit
its pecuniary liability for the depreda'
tons of the Alabama, Shenandoah, Flor
ida and Sumter, and agree to pay an
amount of money which shall be deter
mined by joint commission 10 be here
after appointed.
2. A commission of four members
shall be agreed upon, each nation APP
pointing two, and these Jointly selecting
an umpire. :,
8. This commission shall adjust all
claims presented TO them by the Ameri-
can citizens which arose out of the de-
predations committed by any OF the
above-named privaieers. and shall inves-
tieete each case, and decide What amount
Of IN oney is due for said claims.
a. After this class of claims are settled,
the commission shall pass upon oil other
classes of claims by American citiEeus
against England from 1853 up to the
present time.
The committee will likewise consider
ali claims of British subjects against the
United States in the following class of
cases;
/. All cases presented by British
subjects residing permanently in the
United States.
2. All cases in which the claim
ant is unable to show that he remained
neutral during the late civil war.
8. Those cases decided finally by
admiralty courts.
The above draft contains the largest
concessions which those Senators who
have studied the question thoroughly are
willing to make, and anything which
falls short has but little chance Of ratifica-
ton by the Senate.
It has not been ascertained whether or
not this draft differs materially from Mr..
Stewards views.

BOARD OF TRADE REPoRT-That
Evansville has been extensively ad-
vertised through. the Board Of Trade
Report of this city, is admitted by all,
and evidences of the fact are made
apparent every week. A gentleman
who lives at Waterfowl, New York,
writes to a firm IN this city that he is
indebted to them for a copy of the
Report, and expresses his surprise IN
regard to the great amount of bust
ness carried on in this city. He says
the Report is very interesting, and that
he has examined its statistics with
much interest. Hundreds of persons
never dreamed of the great resources
and magnificent future prospects Of
this city, until they perused this Re-
port, and in consequence thereof
many have been induce to visit us
and judge for thems elves, and we
have profted greatly thereby in an
