Colyarin bis correspondence state what he
knows Gov. Harris proved, to be true, that
he officially drew every dollar ofthat money
by order Of a special act of the Legislature
then IN session, a Legislature of which Hon.
w. II. Wisener was member, and whose
presence in front of Harris, allowed him to
be effectively appealed to, as witness of
the truth Of the statement. / guarantee if
Colyar speaks fifty times more for johnson,
be will never dare allude to this school fund

he gathered up and hid away Harris notes,

to gold, outside of the legitimate export of
produce, this form of Indebtedness has ex-
ercised the most important influence in the
settlement of our foreign Indebtedness. OF
the $500, 100000 of coupon $40 bonds now
outstanding, very large proportion is held
abroad, and it can, therefore, be seen thas
the scarcity of the only kind Of American
bonds which is taken without discus
sion in the foreign markets must
have a marked influence
ON the price of gold. The advance from a
point of great depression Of foreign ex-
charge to the point where coin could be
proftably shipped, only a few days since,
excited good deal of alarm, and the gene
raj belief was entertained that large ship
ment of coin was inevitable in the early fu-
ture. The condition Of the reserves Of the
Bank of England, reduced as they are to
100000, 900, leaves no doubt that that in
stituti0n is making earnest efforts to in
crease it to safer level; neither should it
be forgotten that the banks on the continent
of Europe have been also increasing their
specie reserves. The specie bullion held by
the banks, according TO the Cate Libre, of
Brussels, were on Sept. 81, 1871, and the
corresponding date of this year, as follows:

NO TIME FOR DISCRIMINATION

This is no time for disOrg&nization-
every lover of freedom and the full and free
exercise Of the elective franchise to the
American people, should feel himself called
upon individually, in his proper place, to
stand and defend hi2 part of the line, and
resist the entertainments of the enemy
from whatever quarter he may come. 1t is
the duty of every one to see that each voter
is at his post in the ranks on The day of the
election, fully armed with the true cTeden-
tials of his party, and vote the straight
ticket-headed by Greeley aud Brown,
John c. Brown, B. T. Cheatham and D..
NJ. Key. This done, we are safe beyond
the possibility of contingency; our State
Government is secure; our Federal Gov
eminent is secure; our representation in
| Congress is secure. But let divisions dis
trace our columns, and disintegra5iOn gain
any considerable adherents, and the UictOrg
Is lost, and as the smoke from the ides Of
November shall clear away, it will reveal
to us the saddening fact that we have suf-
fered ourselves led into the pitiall schem-
ingly laid by designing men for our political
destruction and overthrow. Let the Old
qua9a stand close to their guns.

THE CON ESP MADE UP.
From the Mc8Iinnville New Era.

The contest for Co42ress at large is now
unquestionably made u. and is between
Cheatham and Maynard, just as we pre-
dcted it would be at the outset Of this un-
natural contest. IL was evident to even
the CASUAL observer of LIman nature,
that great party could not be driven by
one man in a few days, from its moorings
for years, as has been attempted by Mr..
johnson. The Radicals are now working
''might and main" to detract strength from
Cheatham and give it to johnson, knowing
full well that Cheatham is the man that
MIR. Maynard has to beat. Documents are
now flooding the country by the thousands
for this purpose. Look out for them. Dis
appoint the fond hope they are hugging to
their b0soms that we are going to be foolish
enough to enact their Stokes-Senter dis
aster. The Democracy don't propose to do
any such thing.

HARRIS ANO C0LYAR.
To the Editor of the Union and American:


MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, Oct. "a, 1872.
Everybody here familiar with newspaper
correspondents knows that neither of the
two communications in yesterdays Banner
with regard to the speaking here on Mon
day were written here. The first is clea, ly
the production of the Inevitable COLydr
himself and the other surely inspired Dy
him after his return to Nashyills.
We are all fully satisfied with the well
written and truthful report OF the proceed
ings as given by your correspondent Vir
ginius to-day, aud my object is simply to
controvert one of the falsehoOds as "Heard
From" in the Banner.
Colyar, the "speakist," occupied first
nearly two hours in labored and scatter
ing effort to display the greatness aud the
goodness Of A. j. have heard him some
thing near four hundred thousand times
(whO hss'nt?), ana assure you this was his
poorest effort. He seemed to have at least
sense enough LETT to know that Harris
would wool him when his re ply came, and
he was assuredy right.
No man ever 50 unclaimed and enter
tanned an audience here before, or accom-
plished 50 complete a political success as
did the eloquent Harris. Tne unsettled
were satisfied, the Indifferent were aroused,
aud those inclined to backslide politically
were restored. Let no more lying be doEe
with regard to johnson carrying any sin
Gle district in Rutherford. ''ToO thin" is
no name for such a story.
l don't propose review of the speeches
or of ali the Banners correspondents have
to say. simply wish to correct one d s.
gracefully false sentence which states that
1.-THE Governor few into a rage, etc.
Gov. Harris had exhibited pointedly the
arbitrary and outrageous assessments OF
Military Governor Johnson-had shoTT
that no such Office aCdS knoaen to or possible
under the CORStitutiOn-and that 1t was
without color of law or legislation, etc.
Colyar, in reply, sought to palli2te tn
outrage by accusing Gov. Harris OF having
as a war measure, taken from the banks o.
Nashville five millions of dollars, for the
outfit and sustenance of the provisional
army of Tennessee in 1861, and proceeded
to exhibit about one-half the figures tina

MR. RLAINE.s VERACIrY.

1t is unfortunate that the speaker of the
House should be so frequently caught up
for-well, as the New York Tribune puts
it, let us say "economy of the truth"
When be spoke in Chicago, a short time
since, he undertook to defend his action in
constituting the committee TO investigate
the charges against Secretary Robson so
that it should be sure to acquit that officer.
Mr.. Blaine said:
"Certain allegations were brought against
: the management OGsthe Navy Department
in the New York Sun. Mr.. Trumbull
came and said that an investigation would
be moved in the House by Gov. Blair of
Michigan. He intimsted to me that he
hoped that there would be more fairness in
the House investigation than had been
shown in the Senate. told him, Of course,
l could not say anything about the appoint
ment of a select committee, but what
would do in the future must be judged by
what had done in the past"
But Mr.. Trumbull, whose memory and
knowledge Of the facts may be implicitly
trusted, in late speech at Cairo, H., says
in reply:
'This is not 4 correct statement Of Mr..
Blaine's reply 10 my suggestion for fair
committee. Can il be that he has forgot
ten his assurance that Mr.. Blair, who offer
ed the resolution, would be entitled to be
Chairman, and that he would consult Mr..
Blair as to the composition of the Com
mittee, as soon rs the resolution was adopt
ed? Has he further forgotten that almost
4,,t toll ,V,f no oil nft f,A In,
tion he announced the Committee, without
such consultation? Gov. Blair was unwill-
ing, in view of the frequent packing of COM
mi,tees with especial friends Of the accused,
To undertake the investigation of he alleged
abuses in the Naval Department, unless he
could be assured in advance that he would
have 4 fair committee. 1t was to obtain
that assurance that. l called on Speaker
RIaine. [ obtained it, and so informed Mr..
blair. How well that assurance was kept,
subsequent events and the conduct OF a por-
tion of the Committee IN conducting tie
Investigation AS the attorneys OF the Secre-
tary of the Navy, sbundantly show"
Mr.. Blaine was no. willing 20 res with
one instrumentation. In the same speech
he said:
GMr. Blair moved the committee; it was
amounted, and vindicsted the Secretary OF
the Navy against the charges of the New
York Sun. Now Mr.. Trumbul intimates,
in talking about it whenever he alludes 10
the subject, that it was done by packed
COMMITTEES. Now, that committee consist
ed of five members, three of whom were
Greeley men. (Cheers.) Gov. Blair Of
Michigan, Mr. Warren Of New York, and
Mr.. Archer of Maryland were the three
Greeley men; Mr.. Peters of Maine and\Mr.
Sargent of California were the two Repuo-
hcan members"
As it happens, however, adds the New
York Tribune, the record shows that Mr.
Blaine appointed the committee, March Il,
1872, nearly two months before the meet
ing of Inc Cihcinnlti Convention, at which
Nfr Greeley was nominated. When the
committee was raised there were no Gree

Whereas Gen. T. 81. Bell and Hon. W. w.
Vaughan, two Of the Democratic candi-
dates for Congress in this (the Eighth dis
trict, having requested us to meet them
here on this day, and having addressed to
us the following communication:
Perceiving the necessity for convention,
or some other arrangement, which will
have the effect of diminishing the number
of Democratic aspirants, and thereby the
chance of Republican success, we have
agreed, with view TO that end, to dele
gate to you the power to retire one or the
other of us from the contest, and in exer-
cising this discretion, we do not expect you
