Andrew Johnson Is making some

Vaughan RuIea or.

4 despatch has been received by
a gentlemen Of thi cit which states
that an assemblagc of gentlemen
constituted equally OF the friends oil
Col. Vaughan and Gen. Bell, met at
Humboldt on yesterday, and after
fair canvass of the respective claims
of said candidates, it was deemed eX-
pedient by majority Of one vote
that Colonel Vaughan should de-
cline the race for Congress in this
district. This is step in the right
direction and we now see the be-
ginning of the end, which, as we said
in our first issue will surely elect
Gen. Campbell to the next Congress.
This retiracy of Col. Vaughan is
honorable in the highest degree, and
reflec great credit alike upon him
self and friends. He has borne him
self calamity in tn , contest, and car
ries to his L tirement a reputation
unstained, and q political record I'M
sullied by single blot The true
men of old Madison will not soon
forget his unselfish, manly and pa
triotic C. urse, and hold themselves
ready to reward him at some future
day. Now let the fight for political
supremacy 90 on with undated
hope and vigor between Campbell
and Nunn-for they are the real con-
testants in the race Campbell is
a bold, eloquent and chivalFous gem

4 gentleman of saQacity, a close
observer, and who was at first very
much inclined to go of into John
sonisIn, who is a resident of an i'm
portant town in West Tennessee,
and has just returned from an eN-
tensive trip through Middle and
West Tennessee, gives "a as the re-
suit Of his observation and inquiry,
that old Frank Cheatham will lead
the arch demagoguc Andrew John
son in the race for Congressman for
the State at large, by many thousand
votes. lie has been travelling hl the
rear Of the candidates, and gives il
as his belief that old Frank has
made hosts Of friends wherever he
has spoken, and that he is a general
favorite of the people.
lie says Maynard has drawn his
speech very mild, and is evidently
encouraged by Brigadicr General
Johnson's candidacy, to believe he
can be elected. This gentleman SAYS
that the race is almost ever, W here
conceded to be between Cheatham
and Maynard; and if the liberals
and democrats wish to defeat the
great manganese, they must vote
for Cheatham.
Such has been our opinion all the
time, and every day circumstances
go to confirm us in that belief Vote
for Cheatham.

JACKSON, October q, 1872.
To the voters OF The Pictorial District Of
the counties Of HardemAn, Madison and
Haywood.
A second card appearing in the
PLAINDEALER of Saturday, the 18th
from Gen. Brooks, in which he en-
he did hear me pronouncef for Cheat
ham, in Bolivar, On the day called in
weston between US.
lie says those gentleman (who
signed my certificate are above re-
prOach, and | am perfectly satisfied
that they heard Mr.. Bryan, at Boil
var, avOw himself 10 be the friend of
Gen. Chesthsm. The question for
settlement therefore, is the how and
the when OF this avoWal; then he
goes on 10 state that he did not hear
Barrett. Then he says: During
the speech of Col. Lea, the position
of the candidates for foater
in the Congressional election for
the state at large, was broue hit a.
bout by remarks made by me in ref
erence to certain statements mot I'M
pleasant in their charact9r) made by
Col. Lea during running converse
tiOnal debate, brief, but of deep in
tercst 10 the audience, between my
self and Col. Lea. |, as | have sta
ted heretofore, declared for Gen.
Cheatham. There was, as every one
present will testify, a considerable
sensation when this happened. Du-
ring the time it seems that Mr.. Bry-
an in another portion of the house,
declared that he was for Cheatham.
This may have been distinctly done,
but can II be said that in the true
sense of the word it was publicly
done? Had it been, think would
have heard it.'
Now l shall quote no further, but
come to the prOofin the case Col.
Lea was in the stand, and he states
10 me the position of the parties-he
says, Brooks and Bond were sitting
near each other on his right and
Bryan and Snipes on his left, all in
side the Tar, Hill, who made the
challenge, was on his left near the
wall, out side the bar, and when he
made the challenge there, that there
was no confusion about Brooks at
the time, neither did Hill approach
Brooks at that time.
He says that when Hill called us
out, that l arose Immediately and
walked forward to the bar, facing
the crowd, and there made my an
nOuncement-in an exciting tone, and
that Brooks followed me immedi; te-
ly and announced himself. Lea de-
mics that any running conversation
al debate took place between Brooks
ana himself at the time Brooks has
reference to.
Now fellow-citizens how did it
happen that Brooks, if he did not
hear me, rose from his seat, and an
nounced himself. l say Brooks did
hear me, and no sane man will come
to any other conclusion, with the
statement of the facts herewith set
forth. JOHN T. BRYAN.

G. The "organs" Brigadier Gen.
Andrew Johnson, in this State make
a great ado because the press and
the people nov revive the charge a.
gainst their idol, of unnecessarily
hanging ofMrs. Surratt. They sneer-
ingly say that the friends Cheatham
"have just heard oft occurrence"
and such like. The friends of Gen.
Cheatham hare not just heard of IL;
but in pursuance of that charity
which covers a multitude of Briga-
der General Andrew Johnsons sins,
as long as he kept himself to him
self, and did not unnecessarily thrust
his vain.pretensions OF greatness IN
der the noses of decent people, they
were willing TO let him forget the
cruel and wicked deed-if he could.
If they did not remind him of il, it
was not because thep did not know
and remember il, but because they
were willing TO let the dead past
bury its dead; ana had he not re-
Opened,the past and denounced Con-
federates as traitors, and guilt of
treason, he might have gone down
to his grave with no other reminder
than his own guilty conscience, of a
deed of infamy which will cling TO
his name ike the poisoned shirt of
Nessus.

CARD PROM GEN. BROoKS

To the voters of the Pictorial District conn.,
| posed Of Hardeman, Haywood and Madi-
son.
The people of this District have
doubtless grown weary Of the IA
miliar heading4 to- this article, but
the persistent vindietiveness of Mr.
Bryan compels me to make another
bow to the public this morning.
The fact that the .uncovering OF
the position OF the candidates for
Eloater in this District, in the State
Congressional canvass, was the res
ult of Femarks OF mine lat Bolivar in
relation to a speech made by Colonel
Lea at Jackson, in which he said he
was neither in the interest OF Cheat
ham nor johnson, will not be de-
MED, by that gentleman nor by any
one who was present.
That l declared for Genl. Cheat
ham at Bolivar has not been denied.
That Col. Lea did not declare for
him has not been denied, nor VIII it
be. That he has since had ample
time to declare for him in pr int, and
that he has not done sO,cannOt be de-
MED. AR. Bryan now represents
Col. Lea as saying that "there was
no running conversation between
myself, and him" (COl. Lea) at Boil
iVar. Colonel Lea informed me OH
Thursday last, on the streets ofthis
city, that he did not authorize Mr..
Bryan to make any such statement,
and so informed other gentlemen of
high character that l can mention.
As to the position occupied by
Col. Lea, Mr.. Bond and myself, at
Bolivar there is no controversy. AS
TO the little side show gotten up by
Mr.. Bryan care nothing about it.
In my first card defined my posi-
ton on the school question and al
so on the question of the Exemption
law, Homestead, etc. Mr.. Bryan,
less in his own interest than in that
is making vindictive war
upon me based upon a matter ofno
real consequence. Thus the eontro-
Versy now stands, and | leave the
people to decide it upon its merits,
and not upon any special plea or
evasion. Respectfully,
J. j. BROOKS.

PINSON ITEMS.

Perhaps from the rapidly with which
our little village IL growing into importance
from the general thrift and enterprise
which marks its citizens as among the first
and most substantial In the good old county
OF Madison, few items from this vicinity
would not be entirely uninteresting to some
OF the many readers Of your most excellent
paper.
PinsOn is manifesuy growing, which Is
shown, not only by the number OF those
buying property with the intention OF re-
moving hither, but also by the number Of
improvements now going on. AmOng the
NEST prominent we may mention the hand
some residence Of DIR. Mcknight, which
Will soon be completed; that of Mr.. Stone,
of the enterprisiBg firm OF Mcknight, Moo
ner & Co., and the elegant Office Of one o.
our young and highly esteemed physicians,
DR.. Eeard. But tte browning glory OF
Pinson IS her High School.
The contract has just been closed FOR the
erection OF one OF the most cOmmodious,
well-srranged and handsome High School
buildings in the State, which will be COM
pleted in time for the opening OF the Spring
session. II is designed 10 furnish tins
building in the most approved modern
style, with every convenience Of desks and
school fixtures. Mr.. II. o. Prewitt, whose
thorough training in the University OF Viz
ginia so admirably fts hun for the duties OF
an educator, aided by an ample corps OF
teachers, will continue in charge OF this
school. The universal satisfaction which
Mr.. PrewItt has already given, and the sue
cess with which his efforts have thus far
been crowned, are such as To predict a
bright future for the educational interests
Of PinsOn.
Getting married is e the correct thing in
Pin&on now. She turns out one couple per
week. She proposes to take the premium
on the two most beautiful and accomplish
ed brides at the Fair, which she will. Both
are warranted not to nurse poOdles, nor to
hen-peck their husbands. Happy men.
PInson boasts Of two fat, bouncing babies
in one week. Good enough.
The $4,000 premium is to be taken by u
PinsOnian. He dreamed of the lucky num-
Der the other night, bought it the next day,
and is perfectly sanguine Of success. Faith
moves mountains.
Pinson has number Of gay widows-per-
feetly killing. She has three doctors and
no sickness. Moral-"An ounce =" etc.
Pinson has no lawyers, but from the stir
in financial circles lately one or two could
fatten here.
The cotton crop is turning out well
Pinson returned home from Jackson on
last Saturday strengthened in her faith, and
now has but one voice, and that is " Hur-
Fah for Cheathamr'

The honest man, if he is able, will
always pay an honest debt. Ifhe is
educated up to the proper standard
of business integrity, he will pay
promptly on the day of its maturity.
Likewise, an honest State should
pay its honest debt, and pay them
promptly. The debt may be gre
vious one and hard to bear, still it
must be paid. 1t is a debt of honor.
Care not all debts debts of honor p
A State debt is, in the highest sense,
debt of honor. You cannot sue
her and compel its payment; she
knows that, but she pays because
right and justice prompt it-because
it is honorable to pay-because it is
dishonorable to repudiate.
The debt of the State of Tennes-
see is, in round numbers, about d.
900, 900 dollars, the interest upon
which has not been paid for nearly
four years. The time has now ar
rived when provision must be made
for its payment.
Every citizen owes allegiance to
the State. 1t protects his property
and his life, and he owes 1t a debt
that can be paid in no other way SO
conveniently, or so cheap, as by tax
alton upon his property. Every
spe les of property should pay the
tribute. The poor man should pay
his mite and the rich man his thou
sands.
Tennessee is not burdened with
taxation. Let US see how other
States are taxed by way of COMPARE
son. The amount of taxable prop
ertv and the rate assessed for 1872 is
as follows:
