The Vicksburg Republican says that
the Military Commander has been in
structed to appoint none but Republicans
to Office in this State. But. this does not
follow that his appointees all consider
themselves pledged to vote the carpet bag
gers ticket. The men who stand squarely
upon the Grant doctrine of ga costitu-
ton that will secure the civil and politi-
cal rights of all citizens, " will be COM
PEELED to vote against the party that at

they had rejected it.

The Vicksburg Republican boasts that
Gen Grant has appointed none but Re
pu5licans to office in Mississippi But
while serving the carpet-baggers, and
some very worthy men, albeit Republicans
(Maj. Wofford for instance,) with office,
he has done still more for the people of
the State he has saved them the degra-
dation Of the Eggleston constitution, I'M
shorn Of It's odious features, as their per
manent government, and spared them the
rule OF Eggleston and his crew. The
Republican viii not deny that Gen. Grant
helped to kill off the scheme Of the Com
mittee Of Sixteen which was adopted by
the so-called Republican Convention in
this city, on the 18th of November, and
for opposing which such Republicans as
Messrs. Woford, Fisk, Warner, d Co.,
were read out as ''Bolters" by the carpet
baggers' organ Of this city.

| We have a "Marshall Ney" who was
| born in the West, and has spent most of his
| life in this State-an old line whig-who is
still live man, and possibly he may head
our (the carpet baggerso ticket.-Pilot.
If he is to head that ticket he will in
deed be like Marshall Ney the "last
Of the rear guard of the grand army" of
carpet-baggers and their scalawag allies
described (not by US, butt by the leading
Radical organ of the West, the Chicago
Tribune, as herd of scamps, thieves
and rotten drift-wood returning from
their disastrous route.
We want to know more about this
rear guard of the ragamufin army,
this modern Ney whose name suggests an
analogy that we are tempted to follow up.
Was he a member of the Convention
that passed the ordinance of secession
and how did he vote?
Was he elected to a command by the
said Convention in the first army that was
raised to fight against the fag?'
Was he a member of the Mississippi
Legislature during the Confederate times;
and how did he vote in that body ON the
various propositions to carry on the war?
Did he hold that the people of the
State would dishonor themselves by ac-
cepting the 18th and 14th amendments?
Did his heart 60 out in "gush of
love" for Andy johnson?
Did he advocate the adoption of the
EggIeston constitution?
Did he give any counsel, counte-
nrnce, encouragement, or aid to the
Committee of Sixteen in their ubiquitous
attempt to force upon the people of Mis-
oissippi the infamous scheme Of disfran-
chisement which the voters rejected
which Congress would not adopt----which
Gen. Grant :purned and which its au-
thors in very shame, are now protesting
to repudiate?
Let us know more about this Mar
shall Ney." Give us a fair answer to the
last inquiry. Dodge all the rest, if you
wish, but answer the last! Was he
party to the browning iniquity of the
Eggleston faction

ced by the Pilot as "bolters") who have

Lynch, in his Colored Citizen, has laid
down the law to the rulers. He has warn
ed them that more than one-half of the
| population of this State is of the colored
race-that nine out Of every ten Radicals
| in this State are colored-that in some
counties there are not a dozen white Rad
icals-that in behalf of the colored folks
he claims a fair representation in all the
departments of the government. He
says this claim" is not to be evaded on
the plea of ''incompetency;" that the
cOlored men will prove their 'competen-
cy if they have a chance" In the face
of all this the Pilot, carpet-baggers organ
insists that in Mississippi there are ''less
than one thousand men" who are qualified
for office, though every one ofthe seventy
five thousand colored voters can take the
oath A month has elapsed-and vet the
carpet-baggers have seized them all with
the exception of some half dozen small
places such as Aldermen, Justice of the
Peace DE. , out of several thousand. Now,
we agree with Lynch that our native col
ored population can furnish persons who
are better qualifed-who have larger
interest in the State-who will make
more faithful. honest and competent off

People here, on account of the numer-
Gus failures of other similar enterprises in

The War Cloud.

The Washington Chronicle whose re-
lations to the Administration forbid the
belief that it would express sentiment
on great national question at variance
with its policy, in its issue of the 18th,
ominously observes in reference to the
pending controversy with Great Britain !:
Whatever may be the hopes and desires
of the American people for peaceful set
tlement of the Alabama difficulty. it seems
to have become clear that we may in the ehd
be forced into war as the only means for the
reparation of our wrongs and the mainten-
ance of the national integrity.
This is an unpleasant truth, but it ,oould
be more than idle to attempt to conceal or dis
g1rise IL; it acould be censurabIe.

The Vicksburg Republican argues eia-
borately TO demonstrate that certain paris
of Art. z, of the ''once rejected Constitu-
ton" as Grant expressed it, are entirely
wrong-saying that they are in conflict
with the 18th amendment-with the re-
construction laws of Congress-and es-
sentially wrong generally. This Is but a
repetition of what the democracy declared,
and the people decided last summer. The
only wonder is that the Republican has
been so long making the same discovery.
Is the proposition for joint ticket for
the support of all parties, in order to
"have peace, and TO secure a truly loyal
administration, with Judge Potter, an
original Union Wing, at the head of II,

THE SHERIFF OF RUTHERFORD
COUNTY.
He is taken to Task for not Enforcing
the Law.
To the Editor. of the Union and American:

To the Editors of the Union and American:
MURFREEsBoRo, Aug. 81, 1SG1.-In
this days issue of the Banner l see that
the Sheriff Of Rutherford county says 81
am powerless to resist" etc, ETC.
Lee me say to you, sir, that l have
known the people Of Rutherford county
for fifty years, and know them to have
been always, and that they are yet, a
law-abiding, pesceable and peace-loving
people.
And l know that no officer has ever been
resisted in the execution Of any process
and that in case Of resistance at any time,
the people hold themselves in readiness
to lend the officer any and all necessary
aid in the discharge Of his duty.
The Sheriff knows, and if he does not,
he ought to know, that he has the law on
his side, and he has right to call upon
every man in the county to aid him in
the execution Of process.
But as he is ready to censure the peos
pie of Rutherford-for his letter to the
Banner can only be construed as a GEN.
sure-I would like for him to answer
"AcLuOI AO udS CNOl uduO oil 6uUIL OfCA
to ascertain who the offenders are, let
alone to arrest them.
Had he ever made an Inquiry as to who
they are
Let the Sheriff act with that moral
courage that becomes an officer of the
law, and my word for it, he will never
have cause to complain of his inability to
execute every process that may come to
his hands.
The people Of Rutherford and Of this
State can't afford to give up so good and
so glorious a country into the hands Of a
lawless men, white or black, and they
don't intend to do so-but they expect
the officers who are entrusted with the
execution Of the laws, to see to it, that
bad men are ferreted out, and if they are
unable to arrest them, then are they
(the people, ready and willing to assist
them.
l admit that there are some bad men
here as there are in every county, men
who are ready to urge the ignorant blacks
on to the commission of any crimes, and
to their utter ruin for all they care, so
that they can carry out their plans-but
all such fellows keep themselves behind
the curtain-and if discovered always
get out of the way, and leave the poor
negro, their dupe, to receive the punishs
ment which their vileness should entiS
tie them to. AN OLD CITIZEN.

Personal.

Gov. Senter is expected in the city in
day or two. He has been East for few
days. His arrival here will probably have
some effect in regard to the late ''unpleas-
antness" in Rutherford county; at least we
hope so.
Among the srrivals at the st. Cloud yes
terday, were Thomas G. Tate, cotton factor
of Cincinnati; james F. Crane, of St
Louis Charlie Topping, of the far-famed
Willard Hotel, of Louisville, and A. H.
Marbly, of Macon, Ga.
Our friend c. NJ. Ewing, Esq, of Dres-
den, paid our sanctum a visit yesterday,
looking quite improved from few weeks
spent in Old Wilson and Davidson. He
returned to his field of duty last evening,
where we hope he may reap rich harvest
in his profession by his indomitable energy
and fine talents.
Gen. ]. G. Hornberger, Representative
from Montgomery county, was in the city
yesterday, and we had the pleasure of a
call from him. His fine talents and &C.
quirements will make bis influence second
to none as legislator.
Hon. J. E. Rice, ofthe GAINESVILLE dis
trict Circuit Court, was to see US yesterday
morning, and represents all peace and
quiet in his section. We hope he will cali
oftener and stay longer.
Col. Denmeade is stopping in the city.
He is pushing forward the Southern ex-
tremity af the Nashville and Decatur rail-
road from Decatur towards the mountain
with commendable energy and activity,
having already finished four miles; and
will finish seven miles more by October,
and have ready and cars running twenty
miles, TO the foot of the mountain, by
January next. May we not indulge the
hope that those on other portions of the
road will keep pace with the work on this
end and that We shall ere long be con-
uected by almost an air line road with the
coast.
Among the distinguished personages in
the city yesterday was Isaac J Roach,
Floater elect from the counties of Carroll,
Dyer, Gibson and Henderson.
Judge Rice of Montgomery county, was
in the city few hours yesterday, having
arrived on the morning train, and depsrt-
ing az lin in the afternoon.
