GREENEvILLE, Tenn, March 10, 1870.
In portion of speech made at the
Capitol a short time since the speaker
made use of the following language:
s'That the reason the Legislature of Ten
nessee repealed the act creating the Crimi-
nal Court of the First Judicial Circuit YVES
because the judge of that court was an
out-spoken Union man" In a converse
ton on the subject of the Unionism of the
judge alluded to, responsible gentleman,
and Union man, in fact, remarked that
during the war, and when the conscript
officer was gathering up conscripts, the
conscript officer was asked if there was
much trouble in catching conscripts9 The
officer replied that there was, as the con-
scripts always run; to which the afors-
said Judge replied "IHot O fer a00uLd
hare to be shot DOM, and then ksere
yould be no more trouble" Now, that
was the kind of outspoken 'Union man"
the aforesaid judge was in 1862; and the
speaker well knew the fact, for he him
self was then citizen of Greeneville.

Now, Messrs- Editors, I hereby call on
Mr.. VIM. Rule and Mr.. II. L. w. Mynatt,
to say publicly, if they favor Congress

dreds of as good Republicans as ever
voted in any election, want to know
whether these men, candidates for office,
favored the sending of Mr.. Young and
Dir. Camp TO Washington, on their nefa-
rlous GRAND. Times are so hard and tax
es so heavy that it is all an honest man
can do to make enough money to give
his family the necessaries of life. |
