THE uADIGaE. AMRASSADOR TO
WASHINGTON.

THE RADHGAT. AN1z ASSADOR TO
WASHINGTON.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes, April 6:
stSome two weeks ago colored doctor,
J. =. Young, appeared here at the head
Of colored delegation from Tennessee,
belab0ring the Reconstruction COMMITTEES
and Radical Congressman TO reconstruct
Tennessee. He read formidable address
10 the committee, reciting alleged out
RACES, etc., and afterWard appeared with
his delegation before the President and
made similar statement To-day at
least a dozen Congressman received
copies of the Republican paper published
at Knoxville, East Tennessee, containing
an advertisement signed by the colored
pastor of the Methodist Church there,
denouncing this Young as having com
mitted an infamous crime, and warning
the community against him. The details
are unfit for publication again. but they
served to show the committee the charac-
ter of some of the men who are at the
head of the movement for Congressional
reconstruction. 1t is now believed that
all the rigamarole that this Young and
his delegation submitted about outrages
in Tennessee was false. y y.
The following is the document to which
the Enquirer's correspondent refers, %

ALFRED Z. ANDERSON.
This is the man chosen by the Radicals
to head the 'fcolored delegation" from this
State to Washington, to plead with Con-
gress and the President to turn US over to
an irresponsible military rule. This is
the man that Horace Maynard accompa-
MED to the White House, and introduced
to Gen. Grant, to beseech him to send
troops to Tennessee to protect the '1oyar
people and especially the '1oyal" blacks,
from the Ku-Klux and the ''Rebels." A
black adventurer from New York, emulat
ing the example of his white carpet-bag
brethren and sympathisers, comes tc
Tennessee, and after having suffered
martyrdom for bis infamous crimes,
goes as the ambassador of our Radicals tc
Congress and the President. And this il
the class of people who, in reality, art
causing disturbances in the South. With
out character, reputation, or common
honesty, theywander like locusts over The
country, devouring everything. Inciting
others tc all sorts of crimes and misde
meanors, they charge upon peaceable
inoffending citizens crimes they them
selves commit, finding in the authorities
at Washington men who indorse them
and who are glad to have such opportuni
ties O to present resolutions to place desc
lated States again and again under the
iron rule of military despotism.
