Denies the Charge.

BRUssRLs, Sept. 9.--The Moniteur in

that the Belgisns maltreated the Germans
who were driven out of Paris.
Appeal for the Wounded. z,rl
BRUSSELS, Sept. 9.--Mr. Sanford, late
Minister of the United States, has re-
turned from a visit to Berlin and the
French frontier. and writes letter to the
independence Beige, in which he asks the
Belgian government to send officers to the
frontier to supervise measures for the re-
lief of wounded Prussians. In what has
already been done, he says the conquerors
have acquired fresh title to the respect
and esteem on mankind, while forging a
new link in the chain binding the brother
hood of nations. The Belgians have de-
voted the town of Cierque, an admirable
location, to the reception of the wounded,
and it is now turned into great hospital.
There is a great scarcity of printing
paper in Paris. Galignani's Messenger
has been reduced in consequence, and it
is likely other papers will be forced to
follow.

CARD FROM COL. COLYAR.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, Sept. 8, 1S7O.-I am fire.
quently asked if l am going before the
convention as a candidate for Governor.
In answer to these inquiries, allow me to
say through your paper, that l became a
candidate, impressed with the belief that
the interests of the State demanded some
enunciation of principle and line of policy
by the a.pirants before any nomination,
This was founded in the idea that nom-
ination was equal to an election. To have
this discussion / urged postponement of
the convention. This failed. The State
had been canvassed with view to a con-
vention before became a candidate.
only proposed to canvass to discuss
questions, but not having time allowed for
that, and having conferred with no one
about organizing for aconvention, / would
not be in condition to compete for the
nomination, therefore my name will not
be before the convention. Truly,
A. S. CoLYAR.

Meeting of the Board of Mayor and
[ re Aldermen. -.- .
A called meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen was held last evening; pre-
sent, Mayor White and Aldermen Stewart,
Poston, Barthell, Joseph, Glenn, Jenkins,
Buttorf - -.-
The following communication from the
Ii ayor was read:
Gentlemen of the Board of Aldermen;
I have called you together this evening
in extra meeting for the purpose of con-
sidering the propriety of borrowing $2,-
600 for Immediate expenditure, in the i'm
provements of the streets. The weather is
now good for that improvement, and I pro-
pose that you authorize the Mayor and Re
corder to borrow not more than 50, coo for
a short time, say sixty or ninety days, upon
the most favorable terms they can make
for the use of the money. There is large
amount of taxes now due the corporation,
and by anticipating its collection, we can
expend the money much more advantage
ously from now until the LIST Of November
next than after that time. Should the
Board concur in this recommendation, I
hope the Finance Committee will introduce
a proper bill for the execution of the object
here recommended
I J. B. WHITE, Mayor.
The message was on motion received.
Aid. Jenkins, from the Finance Commit
tee, afterwards introduced the following
bill:
Be it enacted by the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen of Edgefeld, That the Mayor
and Recorder be and they are hereby au-
thorized to negotiate loan OF not more
than three thousand dollars on the best
terms they can procure for the benefit Of
the corporation.
Sec. 2. Said Mayor and Recorder are
hereby authorized to execute a note for the
corporation for the loan of the money bor-
rowed, binding the corporation for the pay
ment of the same in as full and ample a
manner as is allowed by the charter, and
they are authorized to pledge the taxes of
the corporation for the payment Of said
note.
Sec. 5. Said money when borrowed shall
be expended for the improvements of the
streets, and used in payment of debts con-
tracted for the improvements OF the
streets.
Sec. 4. The taxes levied for the year
1870 are hereby pledged for the payment
of the money authorized to be borrowed
by this act. and all future collections shall
be applied exclusively to pay the same,
until the whole amount borrowed is paid
according to the terms of the loan.
The bill was passed On three several
readings under a suspension of the rules.

THE GREENEVILLE RESOLU-
TIONS.

The resolutions adopted by the Demo-
cratic Convention that met at Greeneville,
on Monday last will attract the attention
of the readers of the Wing and Regis
ter, and, indeed, the attention of the
whole country, North and South. At
time like the present, when the struggle
for the control of the Federal and State
Governments, between the two great par
ties of the country, is about to culminate,
it is profitable to recur to sound sentiments
and wise suggestions, such as these resolu-
tions embody. The public will perceive
in them the spirit of the moral and polit-
ical hero who, though standing quite
alone In the midst of one of the fiercest
storms that ever beat upon public man,
protected the constitution as far as one
solitary but mighty arm could do it. They
repeat the sentiments of Andrew john
son, so gloriously enunciated in his mes
sages, when it was almost perilous for q
President to differ with legislature that
assumed the responsibility of governing
the country. They are no less applicable
to the condition of affairs, no less true,
than when they came from the beleaguered
White House at Washington. ,4 --.-..
Perhaps events since his retirement
have only given strength to them by
vindicating their justuess,
The Union is to exist so long as the
States live. The constitution possesses the
power to protect itself, and no State has
a right to withdraw from the Union with
-Out the consent of its sisters. This is the
doctrine now generally recognized. Our
National Government is q limited Gov
ernment, and so are our State Govern
ments limited. Congress cannot eject
State from the Union, nor deny it full
representation. The Government mon
opolies are contrary to the geni-
us of the Government. This species of
corruption is On the increase and will
bring us to ruin and disgrace, unless
checked. Revision of our revenue laws
is demanded. Taxes should bear heaviest
on articles of luxury. Retrenchment and
reform in every branch of the public ser
vice. These are some of the enuncia-
tions of the resolutions, and will be en-.
dOrsed by large majority of the people
everywhere. There is great ability dis
played in drawing them up, and we pre-
dict that they will achieve popularity
not inferior to the veto message of eX-
President johnson. We commend care
full perusal of them to every one into
whose hand they may fall Wing and

Arrival of the Steamer-A Perilous
Voyage.
BosToN, Sept. 9.-The little bark the
City of Ragouse, which left Liverpool
June 2, with two men and dog, arrived
here safely last evening, having occupied
just ninety nine days in the passage. The
voyage was very perlous and rough, and
the boat leaked badly during the greater
portion of the voyage. The men enjoyed
good health, but were much exhausted
from the severe labor and want of sleep.
The dog died in the middle of August
of gcurvy. For over a month the voyag-
ers were obliged to live on raw meat, in
consequence of the fire being constantly
quenched by the heavy sea. This is the
smallest boat that has ever crossed the
Atlantic. She is less than two tons and
draws only two feet water. Length
twenty feet over all, and breath of beam
less than six feet She will go to New
York tomorrow.

ANDREW JOHNSON.

Men differ concerning the merits OF
Andrew johnson, and will still do so, no
doubt. But whenever his name appears
in the newspapers, the history of one of
the most remarkable events that has ever
transpired in this country is suggested.
johnson, although elected by the Repub-
lican party, refused to go with it in its
views of the proper mode of restoring
the Southern States to their places in the
Union. Then came that memorable bat
tie, the echo of whose thunders is scarce
" vet extinct. The assault upon him was
furious and long continued, but he baffied
his adversaries back, because he was
standing on the rock of the Constitution.
If he could not protect it, it was because
the dominant party possessed all power,
and the old Chart of Liberty stood IN
the way of the consumm alton of the
ends they aimed at Nevertheless, there
he stood, mistaken by the storm that
assailed him. If the Constitution was
assaulted at one point there he was
found to defend it. If driven from one
point, he took his stand at another, with
a courage that never absted, and with an
energy that never grew weary. In the
whole history of political contests there
| is nothing more sublime. The spectacle
| was viewed with interest, not only in
America but in Europe. Every country
had read of our civil war, and looked
upon subsequent events with extraordin-
ary concern. 1t was matter of interest
to know whether or not we had come
out of it with the old principles of popu-
lar liberty in the ascendant. The war
had wrought many changes, but whether
it had overthrown our free system was
question of the deepest interest to the
American citizen and to mankind.
In this great struggle, Andrew johnson
developed the highest qualities known to
craftsmanship and to heroism. His veto
messages entitlc him to the sppellstion OF
Defender of the Constitution and Cham
MON of the Union. Though unayalllng
for the time, they informed the people OF
the danger that threatened the country.
He taught them that the Constitution was
trsmpled under foot, that the policy pur,
su d by Congress was revolutionary, anO
rendered an early return of the old Umor
impossible. Whig and Register.
A Mrs. WELLS, who had been visiting
at Rondout, crossed to Rhinebeck OF
Thursday to take passage on the dowr
train. She was crossing the track as tht
Saratoga train was approaching with
Lightning speed. Scores of the people
yelled at her, when she became bewild
cred andapparently could not move. Jus
before the train reached her, Charles W.
Norton, the telegraph operator, rushed
across the track, pushed her off the rail:
as the train whisked by, the cowcatche
striking the folds of her dress. AS soou
as the lady observed her narrow escape
she tainted. Every person present wa
loud in praising the brave telegraph ope
rator.

Response of Jules Fayre TO wash.
burne.

PARIS, Sept. 9.-The official journal of
the Republic of to-day publishes the re-
ply of Jules Favre to Minister Washburne.
He says he considers it happy augury
for the French Republic to have obtained
her first recognition from the United
States, who founded their wise and care
full institutions on independence and civil
virtue, and in spi'e of the terrible ordeals
they have passed through, have conserved
with mistaken firmness their faith in the
great principle of liberty, whence issue
dignity and prosperity. Nations desiring to
become the masters of their destinies must
follow the course pursued by yOu-must
take as a symbol the love of industry and
respect of the rights of all. This is the
programme of government just established
here, from an unfortunate crisis, the re
suit of the follies of despotism. But at
this moment we can only have one care
to deliver the nation from the enemy.
| There again we have the benefit of
your example and your perservering
courage. In the accomplishment
of this task we count on the sup
port of all men of heart and all govern
ments interested in the triumph OF peace.
Strong in the justice of our cause, we
have a firm hope of success, and the ad-
hesion of the Government of Washington
gives US confidence. The members of
our Government request that we make
known to you their gratitude and beg you
to transmit it to your government.
