Mr.. GrOnauer Withdraws and Why.

The appended card insuring the election of
Felix Robertson, was written, as we are ad-
vised, because Mr.. Gronauer was unwilling TO
cooperate, even by indication. with a candi-
date for taX-colleetor VINO proposes to play
Mr.. Leagues dirty little game, and prRcticing
upon the supposed stupidity and prejudices OF
races, form an unholy alliance between Africa
and ireland. There is not a true Irishman in
this city who will be caught in Leagues little
trap, and intelligent negroes even inyeigh
against The palpable fraud. Mr.. ronauer
was induced To withdraw, moreover, because
Of his anxiety to promote the success of Mr..
Barinds as candidate for whsrfmaster. He
says:
Editors Appedi-For reasons known TO my
friendsI hereby withdraw my name as a can
didate for tsx-collector.

CITY POLITICS.


In an editorial article announcing the with
drawal Of Captain Sam Shock from the con-
test as a candidate for wharfmaster, Il was by
no means our purpose TO say that Mr.. Barinds
was OF the track. We only commended his
proposition to select a friend TO meet repre-
sentatives of other candidates, these repre-
sentatives being authorized to designate a can
didate. Mr.. Barinds is ~deservedly most popu-
lar, is the only representative ofa most worthy,
law abiding and intelligent class of our read
ers before the people, he Will run the race, and
If he win the city viii have an excellent, hon
est, capable W-harfmaster.

On Thursday lastthe gentleman Mr.. Nevls)

bank Of the river, with her feet hanging in
the water. He was puzzled to think what she
was doing there, and why she was alone In 70

young and good looking. She sat there all the
evening aud her form was still sharply de-
hned against the western sky when the sun

there. The honest brewer went TO her on
Friday and induced her TO 60 With him 20

WILLIAM WALLACE.
An Appeal for the Right 10 the County
Court.

Eft0rs Appedl-Wiliam Wallace is a candi-
data for the office Of county attorney. He
was a consistent Union man while I was q
frantic rebel. Wallace showed that he was
honest, as 1 was. He left his home In the gulf
States, abandoning everything, and came
north 1 cut loose here and went south. When
1 came back, penniless and disfranehised,
Wallace helped me, not only in money, but
he was the first in this city to defy the omnip-
otent Brownie League dynasty, with its
s~sehedule" constitution. and declare for the
restoration OF civil rights TO the rebels. He
was first to declare himself a Democrat
Loasus-plundered, RadicaIly:ruIed city. We
spoke with bated breath-Wallace de-
fed and denounced despOtism every

shape of offices, State and Federal. Barbour

conceivable inducement to silence; but Wal
lace never once hesitated or turned aside from
the plain path of duty. The war was over.
He had differed from as; but deemed as as
honest as himself. de never Wayered or fall
tered in adhesion to right and principle, and l
believe William Wallace the truest ana best of
men. His history is a resume of truth and con-
sistency and u selhshness.
Add TO these unquestioned facts the consid.
Grafton that he is thoroughly conversant with
the statutory laws of Tennessee, with the
history of the legislation OF the count court,
with its finances and with all the crimes snd
enormities perpetrated by the L~ewis-Loague
commissioners court. General Wallace is a
c~lear-headed thinker, a thorough lawyer, and
above all mel deserves the position OF county
attorney. In the name of right, honesty and
Justice 1 ask the court TO appoint William
Wallace to the office asked al their hands by
his friends and by the people.

Besides, Mr.. Cannon and his numerous

much positive strength TO the Johnson ticket
On the day of the election Mr.. Cannon will
find many warm friends in the Seventh ward

that you nave Joined with negroes to elect
John League and to defeat John johnson.
You never did such a thing before-have you
done it now? The negro is your natural and
department of labOri You know this-the
negro knows this. He feels that you are his
rival for work OF all sort. The negro would
put you under his heel tomorrow If he could,
and you know it. He would not join with you
in anything that would benefit you to save
your souls from death, and you know it yet
you are charged with having Joined with him,
for his benefit, in defeating a man who is sup
ported by the white men; and IN electiDg a
man who promises the negro to make him
your equal in every department OF labor and
employment! Are you such a class of dupes
as thus TO assist in your own ruin?
You know hat a large Lumber of white
men always employ white men because they
are such. This is right. Abolish this sdvan-
tsge In your favor, and the Interests of the
white rival of negro labor and employment
is Frustrated. II you aid in eleetiDg o
League under the issue that has now been
made, you will lament II as sure as God. The
cheap laborer will be substituted Tor the white
labOrer. Hundreds of white men in this city
will at once abandon the principle upon which

be consistent with a feeling Of lust resentment
at your Conduct.

which bad and selfish men are trying TO force
