A CORRESPONDENT from a neigh-
boring county sends us a commu-
nication, to which is postscript /:
"Publish or burn, as You think
best"
We shalldo neither but, instead,
briefly and respectfully refer to its
contents:
The UNION AND AMERICAN pro-
poses to "take up" no man as lead
or, or "the leader of the Demo-
cratic forces in this State" We
have referred to Andrew Johnson,
ex-President of the United States,
in terms of high compliment. In
his present attitude before the
American people, he deserves all
we have said and more. For four
years-years of toll and care to
him, Of perplexity such as no pre-
ceding President was ever called
to endure, he has exhibited
heroic devotion to the true
principles Of the American govern
ment. As the warden on the
watch-tower of constitutional lib.
ertv since the third of December
lS65-the date Of his first message
to Congress offering plan for the
RESTORATION of the Union on the
basis of the equal rights Of the
States, and the gradual but certain
resumption, long ere this, by indi-
vidual citizens, of their political
rights asserted to be forfeited by
participation in rebellion, he has
been q mark for the shafts Of the
ruthless and usurping tyrants who
have overridden him and oppressed
us, and who are the deadly and i'm
placable foes, not only to the mass
of the people of Tennessee and the
South, but to the integrity Of the
system of government under which
we desire to live. These years in
which he has bravely borne the
brunt of the fight, in the face Of OBJ
staclcs and terrors which none but a
man of leonine courage would CON
front, have been a time Of trial to
us a people. All, which many
thought he might have done, or
should have done, he did not do.
Doubtless some errors were commits
ted. We were FESTIVE and impa
tient, and expected some things i'm
possible under the circumstances.
From the hour Of his Inauguration,
he was suspected by the Radical
leaders, and in three days after the
assembling Of Congress in the first
year of his Presidency, his hands
were manaeled, But his crest was
never lowered, and against the
most compact and formidable array
of astute leaders, supported in
their heresies and schemes, by
a besottcd majority of the Northern
people, and coldly held aloof from
by the minority, he held the stand
ard of the constitution "full high
advanced" Amid abuse and
denunciatien such as no man

A PRETTY TERRI rORIAL GOV.
ERNOR.

Gen. Grant has decided, it is said,
to nominate James M. Ashley, Of
Ohio, to be Governor of Montana.
This fellow Ashley, it will be re-
membered, was very oficious in se~
curing the impeachment of Presi-
dent Johnson. 1t was. expected
that his name would be sent to the
Senate Saturday with number of
other appointments for confrma-
ton, but it was not. 1t is now said
this delay is caused by strong
opposition to Ashley's appointment
from Ohio, some of whom have
gone so far as to hay before the
President a report of House COM
mittee of the thirty seventh Con-
gress which investigated charges OF
corruption against Ashley. The
New York World revives some in
cidents in the history of Ashley,
which will serve to show
what sort of men are seeking
and often getting offices under
Grant. Eight years ago, Ashley
worked very hard to secure the
Surveyorship of Colorado for his
"Dear Case" To Case he wrote
from Washington, March II, 1861
"Now, Frank, this is the best office,
in my Judgment, in the gift of the
President, and / would resign to-
day if | was sure I could keep il
four years. If you get it, | wantto
unite with you as full partner in
allland speculations and town sites.
To "Dear Case. he wrote again
March Is, 1861: l want to have
an interest with you, if | get the
place, in the city and town lot spec
ulation;" and further: will
probably be chirman of the Com.
mittee on Territories if we car
carry out the programme tc
elect Grow Speaker, and your
brother Charley Case, Clerk, and
then will know all the proposed
expenditures in the Territories and
post you in advance" And the
anxious Ashley wrote yet again t.
Dear Case" the next day, Marcel
10, 1861: Now, if l get this,
want to be a full co-partner witt
you in the purchase of all the rea
estate that you may make in the
| Territory. L have spent a good
| deal of time and some money t
get this place, and if I do get it,
hope you will go with me. 1 have
drawn up the enclosed agreement
which 1 wish you would sign" etc
Now, wouldn't this Ashley be
pretty fellow to send out as Gov
ernor, with full swing in q fresl
Territory? Wouldn't he now, Mr.
Grant

WHEN Andrew Jackson visited
Nashville, during his Presidency,
and after his retirement, he was re-
ceiyed with public and official hon.
Ors. The same testimonials of re-
spect were shown to James X. Polk.
The municipal authorities On each
occasion, were politically opposed
to them, and so were majority of
the citizens. These things occurred,
too, when party feeling ran high.
Does the present City Council
propose to belittle itself by an
attempt to cast slight on Andrew
Johnson?

A GOOD deal of feeling in regard
to the candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court is beginning to
manifest itself among the Radicals
Of East Tennessee. Judge Swami,
of the Circuit Court, has declared
himself a candidate, and the Knox
vile Wing is very anxious to learn
whether he intends to run as the
Radical candidate or as an indie
pendent, but the Judge has moi
Touchsafed an answer to the inqui.
~. The Jonesboro Union Flag has
now opened fire on Swami. Judge
Andrews is the favorite of the
Wig and Union Flag.

AN APPLICANT FOR A REGISTRAR
SHIP.

The Jackson Whig Of the Sd inst.
contains the following paragraph /:
1--WE learn that Gov. Senter has issued
a proclamation annulling the registration
of voters in this county, and we suppose
Will soon appoint another registrar, and
order new registration. Well, now is
our time for an Office. Gov. Senter is an
Old Line Wing, ergo, Senter should ap-
point us The fact is, we used to pub
lish the Wing speeches of Gov. Senters
father before his fortunate son was out
of his swaddling cl0thes. The son cant
be ungrateful to one of the old supports
ers Of his father. Come, young Governor.
consider US as an applicant for this little
office. But please don't require US to
take any oath-let that slide in this
| special case. We want the Office for va.
rious reasons. We want to swear some
fellows about here who, in their zeal for
| secession, wanted to throw the old Wing
Office in the streets; because, they said,
we were an ally Of the abolitionists and
a submissionist Some of the same fell
lows are now cavorting Radicals. Gov
ernOr, Just give us one chance to swear
these 'trOoly loil men,
There are a great many men in
the State in Just the predicament
pointed out by the Wig. They
were terrible secessionists when Sc
cession was popular, and now that
radicalism is in the ascendant, thew
are as terrible Radicals. They
have the happy faculty of ADJUST
ing their principles" to any party
that may be in power. Now these
men do not have TO take the iron clad
oath prescribed in the franchise law
or they stretch the matter a little
further than honest men would like
to do. The course Of these men
would be very good subject for
investigation by grand juries. Some
of these men in Georgia who had
given "aid and comfort" to the re-
belliOn and afterwards taken the
iron-clad oath prescribed by Con-
gress-not q whit more stringent
than that of our franchise law
have been indicted in the Federal
Court for perjury, and the conse-
quence is there has been some re-
serve exhibited by this class about
taking such an oath. While the law
to punish perjury is on the stat
ute book it should be enforced. If
Gov. Senter were to appoint as reg
istrars men who would rigidly en-
force the franchise law, as the editor
of the Wig, if he were in that pc
sition, there are thousands of these |
soldiers of fortune" loyal voters
now who would be loud in their de- |
nunciations of the franchise law.

The latest mail reports from the
New York Stock Exchange show
that Tennessee bonds were quoted
at &C and Georgia at 50. Why
should Georgia bonds be worth 16c
more in the dollar than ours? AL
ALBANIA SIS were quoted at 20, which
is four cents in the dollar more than
Tennessee 6's command. Why is
the credit of Georgia and Alabama
so much better than that Of Ten
nessee? Is it not because the peo-
pie are not so heavily taxed and
the State governments are admins
istered much more economically ?

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS

The Gazette of Thursday evening has the
following; az
A CALLED MEETING Of the board Of dlrcc-
tors Of the Alexandria Canal Company, was
held this morning In the chamber OF the
Board Of Aldermen. There were present
Captain W. J. Boothe, president, and Messrs.
P. @. Uhler, L. B. Taylor, J. B. Smoot, aud
John West. The meeting was called at the
instance Of some of the sub-lessees Of the
canal, but as the lessees or their attorneys
were not present, II was determined that the
meeting should adjourn without transacting
any business.
We LEARN that Colonel James T. Close
has sold two private residences, with two
acres Of ground attached 10 each, situated At
"Closeyille," In this county, to Capt. VIM.
Department, Washington. These make six
residences and garden farms that have been
sold TO clerks al this place during the past
few months, and speaks well for the I'M
provement In progress In Alexandria county.
A MEETING Of the board oftdlrectors Of
the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Rail-
road Company, was hold yesterday but II
adjourned without going into an election Of
general freight agent Of tbs rood, to Ill the
vacancy occasloned by the death OF the late

at both was large and the proceedings inter-
esting and encouraging. -.-
TEN BOATS from Cumberland, with coal TO
the American Coal Company, and three or
four with the same freight, and from the
same place, consigned 10 the Hampshire and
Baltimore Coal Company, arrived to-day.
II is said that more coal agencies would be
located In this city, and many more boats
come here, II the tolls on the Alexandria
Canal were reduced from what, BY some, arc
considered high rates eight cents per ton.
