The Revival at Maryyille,

This meeting, which began week ago,
is still progressing. DIR. Breaker, the pas
tor of the church, has been without assist
ance the greater part of the time, and has
labOred throughout with characteristic zeal
and ability. On Saturday, DR.. S. H. Smith
of your city, came to his help. had the
pleasure of hearing DR.. S. twice on Sun
day. His discourses were excellent. The
sermon Sunday night was as clear an ex-
position of the condition of discipleship as
it has ever been my privilege to listen to
and the steady attention of the large and
intelligent congregation proved that they
were deeply interested also.
The results of the meeting, so far as they
can be seen, are smaller than there has
been reason to expect. Yet enough has
been accomplished to largely repay the eff
fort put forth. I do not know the number
of conversions. Two have been received
into the church, and there are others who
will join. Some, too, will go to other con-
nections.
Other ministers are expected here to-
day. If they come, the meeting will prob
ably be continued through the week. NJ.

THE LOUISVILLE LEDGER.

The poet of the Louisville Ledger gives
the origin of the new departure in the fol-
lowing chaste language:
When the devil had sifted the sand and the
stuff
To make up the Radical crew,
He threw all the refuse the worthless and
rough
In the waste heap, his land to renew
But the refuse took root in the nastiness
there,
And up New Departure sprang. high in the
air,
Weak, trifing and Shiny, but hoping to live,
Sustained by the waste from the Radical

THE PUBLIC PRINTERS DEFEND.

On the Goth day of last August, Col. John
Baxter, of this city, over his own sigma
ture. preferred specific and rather plain
charges, concerning frauds in the public
printing, against the Union and american
and Nashville Banner, through the col
umns of the CHRONICLE. A few days
later, an answer to these charges appeared
in both the accused journals so nearly in
the same language as to leave no doubt
that they were written after consultation.
In that answer, nothing was said of the
absence of the accused, but it aUdS distinctly
stated that with Col. Baxter we can
have no newspaper controversy" and that
owing to certain libel suits pending in
Knox, they could not defend themselves.
Their first defence was an invitation to go
to the Legislature for investigation.
But forced by public opinion, as is evil
dent from the temper of their last answer,
to make some more satisfactory reply, they
now appear in All article of four columns
and half and allege as an excuse for their
delay the protracted "absence from the
city" of Messrs. Jones and Purvis. Their
reply is largely personal attack upon
Col Baxter and his motives in exposing
their fraud.
So much of their card as can be called a
defense we have given, and it resolves it
self into three issues.
The first issue is that they are charged
with drawing $4,000 90 of public money
for printing. They answer by saying they
drew 900 90 and fraction, but do not
sdy that was all. This issue can be easily
settled by the Treasury books.
The second issue is that Mr.. BaXter's
estimates of composition, paper, ETC., in
1st HeiskelPs reports, and in the Appendix
to the House and Senate upon which he
bases his charges of fraud, &C., are wrong,
and theirs is correct. This is a very SIM
pie issue, and when Mr.. Baxter's proofs
are given, as we suppose they soon will be,
the public can judge. His estimates are
not his own of course, for he is no printer,
but are those of practical printers here
and at Nashville. Their estimates were
carefully made and will be published.
The third issue is one upon which every
reader must have his own opinion. The
accused admit they received pay four times
from the State for composition, but defend,
as Col. Baxter anticipated they would,
upon "custom." Others did the same, and
we can therefore do it as well, is the sub
stance of their defense.
These are the issues plainly made and
robbed of all buncombe, and there should
be no trouble in deciding them.
Col. Baxter will doubtless give the
proofs to sustain his charges as soon as he
can, now that two courts are in session and
demand his time Meantime we have to
suggest that if their answers had come
earlier, as they might have done, and had
less to say of motives" and more of facts,
their case would have been strengthened.

THE Nashville papers are very indignant
that the CHRONICLE allowed well known
public citizen, over his own signature, to
expose their public printing accounts.
That is very natural. The Tammany
thieves in New York felt the same indig-
nation against the Times for exposing
them. These papers are filled every day
with attempts to expose radical frauds, 4"
and nobody is surprised or finds fault with
them for indulging their natural propensi-
ties. We want them to understand we are
in the business of exposing corruption and
don't propose to stop when we get good
thing on such virtuous sheets as they as
sume to be.

The Republican is discussing
and deprecating the idea OF re-
pudiating the Louisiana Radical
debt. The idea of reputation is
seriously entertained in South
Carolina, and in that State it had
it's origin among the leaders of
the Republican party. And this
is not so strange as it might seem
at first sight. The States have
all been saddlcd with as large
debts as they can carry. Hence
no moro gigantic schemes of leg
islation can be set on foot, with
their attendant bribery, corrup-
ton and plumber. Stealing would,
therefore, seem to be at the end
of it's row. But once whisper
around that the debt is about to
be repudiatcd, and the bribery
market would suddenly exhibit
an extraordinary briskness. Those
who arc interested in maintain
ing the debt could afford to bleed
profusely to secure it in it's pres
ent position, while those who are
anxious for new Legislative
grants could afford to pay heav-
lily to wipe out the old debt and
create IL new one. Here then is
Il new field for carpet bag spccu-
lation. After Reputation the
political market would offer Il
wide margin for the diversion OF
the carpet-bag bulls and bears.
We SEQ no outcome to the pres
ent condition of things in the
Southern States except in abso-
lutte reputation of the Radical
debt in all of them. There is no
moral question involved in it since
these debts had their origin in
robbery and knavery. 1t is inn
possible that the States would
thereby lose their credit, us the
Republican suggests, but this
would be more than counterbal-
anced by the advantages in being
relieved from their present intol-
cradle burdens. 1t is hardly de-
sirabic for either the States or
their inhabitants to have any
credit. Let every thing hereaf-
ter be done on Il cash basis, and
we shall be free from many ills
which we have suffered under the
credit system.-Aier. Democrat.

Important Decision.

On an appeal from i district
court, the Supreme Court of Ten
rs has lately made n decision, in
which administrators and eNcc,l-
tors who settled their trust IN
Confederate money are deeply
Interested. Tho decision was
based on the following facts:
can administrator, during the
war, obtained an order from the
Probate Court to sell the assets
of his interstate for cash. Tn
der such orders he made sales
for Confederate money, which
he paid to such creditors as
would receive ii. After the war
had closed, the Probate Court
permitted him to resign his
trust and settle his accounts on
Confederate money returns and
vouchers.
1.-The Supreme Court decided
that the Probate Courts orders
and judgment were not only er-
roneous, but null and void. and

In an article on South CARROLL
ma the Washington Chronicle de-
clares that it "attempts no defense
of corrupt public officers and n
besotted legislature. We would
gladly see them," says the virtu-
GUS Chronicle, "hurled from their
positions into the penitentiary."
We don't believe the Chronicle
would gladly witness any such
thing; because we know it man
ifests infinite delight in seeing
the people OF South Carolina
hurled into the penitentiary,
when il is only through them
that the Radical thieves could
hurled there instead.

that the administrator would be
held liable in legal tender for
the value of tho property sold,
and that the creditors could re-
vivc their claims, so paid in Con-
fcdcrate money, against the cs-
tate"
This decision rcopens all the
estates in Texas that were set
tied on Confederate money ba-
sis, and makes the legal repre-
sentatives and their suretics re-
sponsiblc for the value Of the
property thus sold.

Important Decisions.

Two highly important deci-
sions have recently been render
cd in New Orleans, one by Judge
Collens, and the other by Judge
Emerson.
The first decision was rendered
in suit to set aside the will of
Daniel Clark which made Mrs.
Gaines his universal legatee and
which was recognized as valid by
the U. S. Supreme Court. Judge
Collcns in lengthy and we'll

Gaines is the iIIegitimate child of
Clark, by Zulime Carriere that
will, which was lost ordone away

was the portion of an illcgiti-
mate child.
The second decision of the two
alluded to, was given in the case
of the Mississippi Navigation

The Death Of Oscar J. Dunn-Its
Political Effect.

At the very moment of writing |
our recent letter from New Or
leans, and while specializing as
to the future political fortunes Of
Lieut.. Gov. Dunn, that distin-
guished representative Of the
black race was closing his NOR
tai career. To most of the peo-
pie of the city the news of his
death was the first intimation
they had of his illness. There
appeared some plausibility in the
speculation which at once pre-
vailed, that Dunn had been poi
soned, and the suspicion to that
effect was by no class so strongly
entertained as by the deceased's
own political followers. But the
certificate of the attending phys
icians, (of whom there were
enough to physic a battalion,)
setting down the death of Mr..
Dunn to the account of cOnges-
ton. dissipated the suspicion in
the minds of the more intelli-
gent, though, perhaps, it still ex-
lists in the minds of tho negroes,
who arc 10th to realize that they
could have lost their leader by
any other than by foul means.
