war, Ct certain property, consisting of coal
barges, coal, etc. The jury rendered yer

Legislature for special relief to these gentle
men, which, of course, means taxation on
the citizens of Tennessee to pay off this judg-
ment. There are hundreds of such cases in

Fielding Hurst was made to pay the nice
sum of fifteen hundred dollars for trespass
during the war. Fielding should call upon
Congress for special act in his behalf, and
we think he could do so with as much pro
priety as Murphy and Pillow could on the

Owing to the resignation of our late
Representative in the State Senate, the Rev
n. A. D. BRYANT, vacancy exists in that
Honorable Body, and the Governor has is,
sued his proclamation ordering an election
to be held on SATURDAY, JANUARY
7th, 1871, to fill the vacancy
Having been solicited to DO so, hereby
announce myself a candidate for the posi-
ton, and most respectfully solicit your sup
port, pledgiug you that shall devote my
best abilities towards the advancement of
the welfare of this District and the pros
perity of the State, should you honor me
with an election.
To those who know me personally, it is
useless to sPeak of my political faith to
those who do not, suffice it to say that fell
lOwship with the Democratic party of Ten
nessee, and take my stand squarely on the
platform on which the Hon. John G. Brown
was, recently, so triumphantly elected Gov
ernor of the State.
The time is short and it will be impossible
for me to visit every precinct in the District.
Therefore, l am forced to thus make known
my aspirations, hoping that on the day of
election FULL VOTE may be polled, as
the election is one of importance and fully
merits the attention of every voter.
Very Respectfully,
