TENNESSEE.

In a recent article upon Tennessee, the
Cincinnati Commercial says that "whip-
ping and killing negroes has recently
grown to be a favorite amusement in the
State"
This is simply assertion, based, we
presume, upon the assertions of Fletcher
and Brownlow. AS assertion it does
very well; but can there be no facts
cited to justify it9 If negroes have been
recently whipped and killed as a favorite
amusement, somebody ought to be able to
give us some instances of these heartless
proceedings. Honest judges and just
government wish to know the facts. The
powers that be in the judicial department
of government are Radicals if there has
been any violations of law which have
gone wilfully unpublished, some of these
Judges ought to be able to specify the
instances. They ought to be able to give
names, or dates, or places. We wish not
only charges, but specifications. Give US
these, and we will then be ready to 60 to
trial. We will then be ready to compare
records with Ohio, or any other State north
of the Ohio. Tennessee only asks justice.
A hard thing sometimes to ask. More
frequently difficult thing to obtain.

his political sincerity on honesty. AS to
his personal integrity there are not want
ing those who have grave doubts about
that lie has been accused of gorging
himself with plumber during the war, and
the fact that he has been compelled to
surrender money which he seized under
pretense of keeping it out of the hands of
the enemy, gives color to the accusation
Buffers friends may feast and praise him
to their hearts content; they will discover
in the end that jeff. Davis or John Nor
rissey would be more available candidates.
Benjamin never can be President. 1t is
not possible, even.
None of the Washington correspondents
give US any reason for the Ominous and
important absence of Hon. Horace May
nard from the 'fspontaneous" serenade
He was down in the bills, and those who
paid their money had a right to demand
return, because the programme had not
been played through. Horace would
doubtless get out by saying that he was
on hand Sin the partially Illuminated par
lor'' ready to respond to the call which
was never made; but that the whole affair
was B. F. in style-a big farce. Thus
ended the first lesson of B. F.'s presiden-
tial aspirations.
