If all persons were well-bred in this

h& Col. James II. Holman

@ Col. James II. Holman,
Attorney General of this Circuit,
has, we are happy to say, been
released by the Federal Court al
Nashville. Before the war he
was an officer in the United States
army, which he left to join Colo
mel Turney's regiment. His case
came up on motion to quash the
indictment and the information,
on the ground that the law re-
quiring an officer to take only san
oath to bear true faith and ale
glance to the United States did
not come within the purview of
the Fourteenth Amendment
The court noticed judicialIy that
he had not taken an oath to sup
port the Constitution of the T.
nited States, which was necessary
under the Fourteenth Amend
ment to disqualify him from hold.
ing office. The United States
Attorney argued that the military
oath was the equivalent of that
mentioned in the Fourteenth
Amendment; that the United
States was the result of the adop.
ton OF the Constitution, which
was the fundamentam mationiS-
the tie which bound together the
States into nation, and the Su-
preme law of the nation-and
that, therefore, an oath to bear
true faith and allegiance to the
United States necessarily involved
an oath to support that by vir-
tue of which the United States
existed. But the court held that
the section Of the amendment be-
ing highly penal must be strictly
construed, and that the defen.
dant not having taken the oath
to support the Constitution of the
United States was not obnoxious
to the disqualification to hold of.
fee, and accordingly the indict-
mentand information were quashed
The information is to be tax n

DEAR SrR-Since a copy Of your
last, we have seen and heard the
solemn and deathly roar of ane.
Their horrible overflow. II com.
menced raining on the night of
the 10Th, and rained INCREASINGLY
until the morning Of the lTth.-
Never yet has the Oldest settlei Of
, Texas experienced or seen It's
equal. You never heard such Wv.
id and harsh pattering Of rain.
History itself has no paragraph Ell
horrible. II seemed 10 me az II
the whole entire heavens had
raised their food gates and the
water was pouring over an 1T.
clined plane which was oiled i'm.
mensely with inch sagOe holes.
The creeks and rivers were dash.
ing and slaSAlna rising and falling,
sometimes would rise four feet al
one dash and then fall the same.
The Colorado came down in per.
teei Nlls, sweeping before it the
penteen bridge at Austin, Men
who saw the floods or rolls Of wa
ter said they were at least four
feet high. You can only imagine
the horror and destruction of such
esshes. The river only lacked
two feet being as high as it was
last July, but the rise being more
speedy, and in a great deal less
time, did not give persons who
lived near streams time to make
their escape, and the consequence
was there were a great many
drowned. There were four ne
groes drowned on the place at
which l am stopping, one woman
and three children, and several
more persons were drowned lower
down the creek. The name of the
creek is Onion, and the place or
farm on which [ am stopping is
Felix Smiths, about eight miles
South of Austin. His losses were
very heavy, supposed to be about
1000. The people ON the river
have not suffered SO much this
year as they did last. We have
no news from the West as yet
So no more at present.
Yours respectfully,
F. Nj. DANCE.

FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE,
Thursday Morning, NOTem'r 10, 1870
The European Situation.

Prussia and France have a.
greed to an armistice, to contin-
ne until the 28th of November.
The deplorable weakness and
imbecility which mark the con-
duct of the war by the French,
connected with their overwhel-
ming disasters, have satisfied
disinterested lookers-on that the
cause Of France was almost
hopeless. With its regular
troops either killed or prisoners,
the immediate supply ofimpro-
we'd munitions of war captured
by the Prussians, the govern
ment itself undergoing a radi-
cal revolution while the guns
of the enemy were almost heard
around Paris-present a condi-
ton Of affairs which require
much faith to suppose was not
hopeless. Since the rise of the
Republic, reverses upon revers-
es have followed; whenever the
contending forces have met, it
has been to the disadvantage of
the French arms, fortified pla-
ces have surrendered, and in all
directions the pail Of defeat
hangs over France, but the Re
public ministry exhibit a deter
mination to continue the fight
to utter prostration before &C
cepting terms of peace, looking
to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of France,
which appears to be Bismark's
ultimatum.

II United States Marshal
Sharpe has cyphered down the
population of New York city to
1900. The federal authori-
ties credited the city with over
a million of population some
years ago when they wanted its
quota Of cash or conscripts.
Now they want to diminish the
Democratic representation in
Congress, and they census ac-
cordingly. The outrage is so
gross and palpable, that the au-
thorities have been compelled,
under the pressure of public
opinion, coming from all par
ties, to order another census.
1t is now being taken. New
York city is always good for a
bout $4,000 Democratic majori-
ty, and as it can't be reduced by
voting, the Radical authorities
hoped, by cheating, to secure
what they could not honestly
obtain.

a Mournful Petition.

One of the most expressive
movements of the day is the pro-
test against the continuance of
the war on France protest
signed by 1888 German Wild
ows with IS, T60'children Such
a document is terribly signifi-
cant. 1t implores King Will
liam, who has sacrificed to his
ambition the lives of their nat
ural protectors, to save from abb
Isolute starvation these 114,000
human beings 1t asks if this
war could possibly have work
ed the signers more injury had
Prussia, herself, been invaded
and her troops defeated. Such
an appeal cannot fall unheeded
on the civilised world. 1t
speaks volumes. Germany has
triumphed over France ; but at
what a fearful cost ! King
William has enjoyed his re-
venge upon Louis Napoleon ;
but at whose expense /? What
has he lost or suffered in the
achievement ? What have they
not lost, these $4,000 widows
and 78, 900 orphans, to purchase
for himhis position of triumph?
He realises all the honor, and
on this vast army Of mourners
falls all theeaffiiction. He has
witnessed the Staying of their
husbands and fathers, and the
piled up bodies constitute a CORY
pyramid of victory for his own
exaltation. On the pale corp
ses Of over 100000 of his own
subjects he stands haughtily
erect, glorying in the loyalty of
those gallant men who died in
battle to do him honor-gal-
liant men whose furnishing wild
ows and orphans now implore
his ambition to cease booming
more to the slaughter War is
a fearful thing. He has much to
answer for who initiates the
sanguinary contest +; but is he
innocent who, despite the tear
full entreaties of the beggared
families Of his victims, refuses
to curtAil the work of wholesale
carnage2 Gods vengeance will
certainly fall on the man who
can be SO deaf to every appeal
but that Of his own selfish arro-
pance.
