AN EMPHATIC DENIAL


In speech in the House of Represen-
tstives on the 10th inst, Mr.. Horace
Maynard said;
''My mail this morning brings inteli-
gence of one Union man murdered in my
own State, and of another whose life was
attempted, and who saved it only by
shooting down one of his disguised as
sailants, the Constable of the district, as
it proved, assisted by the Sheriff of the
county. They had in guise attacked his
lonely cabin in the middle of the night. ="
Capt. Ed. Arnold, the Sheriff of Ruth
erford county, in card in the Murfrees-
boro Ne'Os, denounces Mr.. Maynard's
informant in language that is very plain
and emphatic, as having told that which
is not true. Capt. Arnold adds:
'H'This horrible tale then of Mr.. May
nard, gathered from private sources is
but another of these 'putTid excrescencs s
nf Radicalism, privately shOVeled up 10
Mr.. Maynard by dirty correspondents,
with which TO manure the reconstruc-
tor crop To such dirty fellows, safely
entrenched as they suppose, behind the
confidence of private correspondence,
a killing or fight even, is meat and
drink. They gather up all the filthy fag
ends of worn out, cast away negro etc
ries about il, and clothing themselves
with its horrors as with a garment, they
show themselves, through private
sources, to their masters at Washington,
to whom they appear as bride waiting
for the bridegroom. Nothing to them
appears so beautiful as a picture of some
pretended tragedy, painted by the unseen
hand of some Radical artist 'on the spot, ;
and none so revolving as a picture 10 the
life of peaceful tranquility, industry and
prosperity. No sound strikes their ear in
strains of such melody as TIE cry of op-
preston, and nothing would harrow their
souls so much as the joyful shouts of uni
versal peace. Truly these private
sources are the tributaries that feed "a
restless sea that continually casts up mire
and dirt.
"And now if Mr.. Maynard will, he can
have the pleasure, at the next Criminal
Court of Rutherford, on the first Monday
in April, of seeing these terrible maskers,
who prowl about at the dead hour of
night, infiCting terrible punishment on
the negroes, unmasked-as two of his
sable friends are now in jail awaiting the
heavy suethemss of Horace Maynard for
Kh-kluxing men of their own color

The difficulties of the Alabama &

less in variety and extent. The res
toratiOn of the road TO Stanton's con-
troll seems more matter Of fancy than
of fact. The trains are unable to run
the road safely. Dissatisfied parties
are said TO have thrown the trains from
the track, and the Chattanooga Times
which has given great dissatisfaction
to the Stanton party, says it will be
impossible to run the road until the
employees are paid. Stanton has

DissoIu.ions Of Copartlc' ship.
BE WARE.

Some of our neighbors are cxercis-
ing themselves about a convention in
Washington county. We are led to
suspect their anxity to rule of GER
tain parties and stock the cards iii IA
vor of their own immediate friends
The very spirit of Democracy is an
tagonistic to nominating conventions.
and they should never be resOrted to
except in case Of abs 2lute necessity.
Such necessity only arise: when.
from the multiplicity of candidates
our political opponents are likely to
wedge in, or bad men of our own par
ty may take advantage of the cOnfu
sion to ride into Office upon n plurali-
ty vote. The majority in the county
is so overwhelming that there is little
probability Of Radical ever being
elected and the voters are too inte Ii
gent to permit mcn who are openly
corrupt to take advantage of their di-
vision. We are opposed to nomina
ting conventions because the working
men, the farmers and mechanics, are
rarely IN attendance and if present
rarely express their choice from the
fact that they are generally unaccus-
toned to public speaking. To the
primary election but few of these OBJ.
jections can be brought. 1t is mere
in accordance with the fundamental
principles of Democracy and more
an harmony with the spirit that con-
trolls the party. Nc necessity has or
is very likely to arise for a cOnyen-
ton. or a primary election. to select
candidates for the General Assembly.
We would like 20 see the people have
a fair chance to express their choice
and will watch any movement for a
convention with jealous care; for it
cannot be denied that conventions
have been abused. If, however. a
necessity arises, when the election is
close at hand. we will advocate
primary election.
