REPRESENTATIVES, Er'BATH'S

We publish to-day note from the Hon.
Mr.. McBath, Representative from Knox
and SEWER calling upon the Hon. r. r.
Butler for further information as TO his
sale of the Cadetship for the first Con-
gressional district. We learn from the
kilograms that Dir. Butler acknowledges
that he received 81, 900 for the appoint
ment from his 'district, and that he spent
portion of it in defeating Mr. johnson
in the Senatorial race. How did he spend
that money? How much did he
spend Upon whom did he spend it 2
Where are his vouchersl Mr.. McBath
is Republican Representative from East
Tennessee and voted against Mr.. johnson.
He justly feels that the statement of Dir.
Butler is an imputation upon the members
of the General Assembly who voted
against Mr.. johnson. Hence his demand
that Mr.. Butler should be more explicit
in bis confession is eminently tight and
proper. Does the end justify Mr.. Butler
in the use of his Congressional influence
to obtain a corruption funds We hope
that Mr.. Buffers constituents will give
him different moral training.

THE Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Comm -rciaJ says, Feb. 20 f:
"Many Senators complain that the cause
of the Cubans, and the measures before
Congress in their aid, are unjustly treated
by the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations, and that action is either contin-
ually aud unreasonably delayed or &C
tually refused. 1t is asserted that upon
the return of Senator Morton from bis
visit home, he wiz ask, in open session,
that the Committee be discharged from
the further consideration of the various
bills and resolutions relating to the Cuban
question, and that matters of that nature
be considered in the Senate without ref
ere1ce TO a committee. If this motion
succeeds, it is the intention of Mcssrs.
Sherman, Carpenter, Howe, Morton, and
other friends of Cuba, to debate the whole
subject until a vote is reached"

ton at al hazards and despite all opposi-
ton. The Secretary of the Interior ap-
points these Commissioners. They are
his tools, dependent on him for their posi-
tons, answerable to him for their acts,
and ready, of course, TO do his bidding
in all things. There are three of them in
every election district This viii result
in the appointment of nearly four thousand
men in Tennessee to secure the election of
Radical Congressman in every district.
This is what the bill means as to this
State, and care will be taken that the right
sort of men be appointed commissioners
of election to carry out the intention of
the bill. To give these supple tools of
despotism the power to do the work re-
quired Of them, the United States Marshals
and their deputies-which can be in
creased to any number desired-are to
sustain them, aud soldiers arc to be dis
persed in every county in the States, with
large forces in the cities and large towns,
to oyerawe the people and compel COM
plete obedience to this last act of usurpa-
ton in the work of centralising the power
of the general government. This bill
only lacks the concurrence of the Senate
and the approval of the President, and
these win probably not be lacking long, to
make it the law of the land Here is the
whole army of the United States called
into requisition at that very time, and in
localities where no violence was ever
known, no frauds ever perpetrated, and no
hostility ever threatened. The honesty of
the people is called in question before it
il is tested. The whole mass of voters
are tainted with charge of fraud in ad-
vance. They are all placed under suspi
cion, and military surveillance estab-
lished over them The virtue of Radical
legislators is such that it suspects every
man of fraud. They set up the cry of
''stop, thief" even before the larceny is
attempted. Is any stronger evidence
needed of their design to overreach the
popular expression at the polls, and by an
arbitrary stretch Of power and unlimited
frauds retain their present places?
