AS good deal of our space this
week is occupied with important mat
ter connected with tho Report of the
School Fund Investigating Committee,
it is proper we should state that about
all the parties implicated, either direct
ly or indirectly, have published Cards
in which the plea of not guilty as charg-
ed is strongly urged. First, Governor
Brownlow, whom the Report did not
touch at all, puts in disclaimer; Col.
John d. follows, in reputation of some
structures in Nashville paper; then
comes the virtuous Arnell, the pure and
stately Mum, the convenient and mclli-
fluous Mullins; and last, though by no
means least in the interesting category,
Mr.. Parham, of Memphis, whose testi-
mony figures so conspicuously in the
Report of the Committee, appears in
communication of specious proportions
in which he attempts to smooth matters
over and to convince the public that
his hands are entirely clean, and that it
was nothing but q legitimate transact
ton, such as frequently occur in the his
tory of modern legislation, both State
and National. Regarding Parham's last
statements as bearing upon his publish
ed testimony before the Committee, we
suspect he is bad egg, and would now
be willing to bet two-and-a-half that
our old friend, Duggan, of Sewer, never
got that hat, though Rutter no doubt
furnished money to buy it.
We would cheerfully publish the dis
chalmers of the other gentlemen named,
but our limited space forbids. Should
subsequent developments, however, go
to show that injustice has been done by
what already is printed, it will afford
us pleasure to set forth the fact as soon
as brought to our knowledge.

The Murderer Twitchell,

The Philadelphia Ledger says of
Twitchell, recently convicted of the
murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Hill,
for the purpose of getting possession of
her property:
After the sentence on Saturday, and
his return to his cell in prison, Twitchell
gave full vent to his feelings, and for
about two hours wept bitterly. He AT.
forwards resumed his usual calm and
composed demeanor, and, later in the
day, expressed his thanks to those of the
prison keepers and visitors who had
been kind to him. His wife did not
visit him on Saturday, Sunday or Mon
day, and he was left alone these three
day, to ponder OIL the short future for
him in this world.

A Peddlcr Murdered.

The Bolivar Bulletin says: We learn
from good authority, that one day last
week, an unknown man, a peddler, who
had been vending his goods and wares
in McNairy county, was found murder
cd in said county, near the Hardeman
line; his throat was cut, and evidence
of robbery was plainly visible. When,
oh when, will such awful, terrible trag-
edies cease? 1t seems as though car
nival of blood had fastened its CORY
fangs around our throats, determined to
stifle the last ebb that flows from human
hearts.

stolen money, which belonged to the

of Militia passed here for Nashville.
We learn that these recruits were from
Blount, Sewer and McMinn counties.
While the train was stopping at this
place for supper, portion of the crowd
commenced an indiscriminate war upon
the negroes, without any provocation
whatever. Several negroes were knock.
ed down and badly treated by this
drunken crowd of militia. The assis-
tant Marshall, for this place, interfered
to suppress the proceedings, when a
crowd collected around him with pis-
tolls and knives, and informed him that
if he did not shut up they would go for

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Since the report Of the Investigating
Committee on the Missing School Fund
several little things have occurred In
the House Of unusual character, mem
ton of which Is made elsewhere. The
report alluded to has unsettled the regu-
lar routine Of business and suggested
an early adjournment, as further de-
vclopments are threatened which would
be likely to seriously jcopardize the
success of the party in the approaching
legislative elections. In this connec-
ton, on Saturday a resolution was Of
fered providing for the suppression of
the report of the Committee of Inves.
tigation until further orders. An ami
mated and lengthy debate ensued, and
the resolution was finally lost. The
Nashville papers report the Committees
as still vigorously at work, and that the
half has not yet been told. Our own
opinion, however, is, that we shall not
hear great deal more on the subject
through the Legislature during the
present session. The unity and success
of the party is the great controlling
idea, and these cannot be maintained
under such exposures and such q rcck-
less disregard of consequences as some
Of the members have exhibited during
the last ten or twelve days. We regard
an early adjournment as the only sure
way of getting rid of the unpleasant
ness which has already brought Comp
trollcr Blackburn's fist in forcible con-
tact with the potato-trap of the radical
member from Franklin, and produced
rough-and-tumble fight in the hall of
the House between the reporter of a
radical paper and a radical member who
reioiccs in the name of eagle. Such
things must be stopped at once, or the
party had better be preparing to 70 in
TO liquidation.

President johnson Again.

There has been no little said in the
papers recently about the probability of
President johnson being a candidate
for Governor of Tennessee at the ensu-
ing election. 1t is hardly reasonable
Mr.. johnson has expressed himself in a
way that would authorize any one to
speak for him OH the subject, though
the impression is becoming general that
he does not contemplate quietly drop
ping out of sight at the close of his
Presidential term. The following is
among the latest speculations we have
met with:
1t appears to be pretty we'll ascertain
ed that on retiring from the White
House Mr.. johnson will return at once
to Tennessee and take new departure
as the Conservative candidate for Gov
ernor, with the purpose of securing as
his neXt move the first Tennessee va
cancy in the United States Senate. His
prospects are said to be very good, and
if successful he will before long be back
again at the point where rebellion found
him in 1861. Next, it will 60 hard with
him if he docs not impress his claims
for the succession upon the Southern
Democracy in 1872. He was cheated in
Tammany Hall but they may hear from
him again.
In this connection it may not perhaps
be improper to suggest that condition
may arise in Tennessee which would
render it impolitic to run Democratic
candidate for Governor at all next sum-
mer. A thought which we hope will
not be lost sight of altogether.
The Next Governor.
The Nashville Press and Times, of
Tuesday, contains letter dated at
ATHENS, written by two prominent Re-
publicans, which severely criticises An
dy johnson, and suggests A. j. Fletch-
er as the candidate of that party for
Governor. We have room only for q
short extract. After stating the essen
tial qualifications the Republican can
didatc should combine in order to Sc
cure success, the letter continues:
"Such candidate do we think the
Republican party may find in the ac-
complished Secretary of State, A. j.
Fletcher. Ifnominated, we believe the
great mass of the true Republicans will
rally joyfully to his support, confident
of victory, while thousands of sad
and bewildered men, standing silently
afar off, looking sorrowfully upon what
they consider the present ruinous course
of some of our State politicians. would
rush with alacrity to the support of one
who, though not altogether to their
liking, would encourage the genial hope
of new and brighter era than Ten
uessee has known since the memorable
year of 1861. We have no personal ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Fletcher. We con-
scientiously think and say, in answer
to the arguments which may be brought
against our nomination by extreme
men, In medic tutissimus IBIS"
All of W hich being interpreted means,
that in more moderate and less pro-
scriptivo policy depends the future
safety and ascendency of the Radical
party of Tennessee.

day says:

Parker, Smith, Underwood, Wyatt and
Speaker Scnter-12.
Noes-Messrs. Cate, Fricrson, Fuson,
Lindsey, Mccall, Nelson, Patterson,
Rodgers and Wisener-9.
The Speaker announced that the bill
was rejected, as it took two-thirds of
the Senate to pass II Constitutional mea-
sure.
Mr.. Cate entered motion to recon-
slider, and the vote to reconsider was
taken: ayes Is, noes 8. The bill hay
ing been reconsidered, the vote was
again taken and resulted as follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Eaton, Eckle, Garner,
Henderson, Keith, Matthews, Norman,
Parker, Smith, Underwood, Wyatt and
Speaker Senter-12.
NOes-Messrs. Cate, Frierson, Fuson
