The ANDY JoHNsoN-HARoLD SCANDAL
The Case TO be Investigated by the Courts.-The
Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, referring to the
recent suicide OF Mrs. Emily Harold, of Green
vile, says the sad event was attributed to mis-
chievous scandal circulated about the unfortu-
nate lady and eX-President johnson, and that
the means by which these scandalous rumors
were brought to Mrs. Harold's ear was through
an anonymous letter sent to Mr. Harold through
the post Office: The very general verdict of the
good people OF Greenville was that these rehec-
tons upon Mrs. Harold's character were false
Ever since her death it has been the aim of her
friends to discover the author Of the anonymous
letter that brought the scandal TO the ears
Of the family circle, and last week a warrant
was taken out for the arrest OF man
named X. {. Harne, on the charge of libel.
The hearing on the charge began last Tues
day before three magistrates OF GreenviIle
The Knoxville ChrOnl cle, in giving an account
II the preliminary examination, saws that
-etter was OF a circumstantial character, but the
violence has taken a wider latitude, and now
the whole merits OF the case are under consid-
Grafton. The truth of the charges against the
deceased and MIR. johnson are in issue. So far
the evidence of the charges has come from two
colored men and one white man, who were
arrested for perjury after their examination.
In the meantime the examination will proceed
II promises TO involve many of the residents OF
the place, and TO turn out a long, bitter and
exciting trial. The Nashville Press and Herald
OF the 18th ultimO, has dispatch from Green
vile, which says that the witness arrested for
ages for false imprisonment. The defense have
closed their testimony on justification, and are
now endeavoring to shift the authorship of the
libel.

MR.. SUMNER REPLIES TO Mr.. BLAINE
MIR. Sumner has written a letter in reply to one
recently addressed him by Speaker Blaine, in
which he says: "YOu are greatly concerned
about the company keep. To quiet your So
hcitude i beg leave to say that, in Joining
the republicans who brought forward an Origi-
nal abolitionist, L find myself with so many
others devoted to the cause have served ALWAYS
that had hot missed you until you fastened to
report absence" He deplores the hostile spirit
which has existed the seven years since the war,
during which time the rights OF colored citizens
have been in perpetual question and expressed
the belief that a new life and new spirit will
exist He thinks the support of Greeley by the
democrats Is an assurance that the cause he has
so constantly guarded is accepted by the demo-
Gratis, and that it is pledge of true union be-
yOnd anything in history-a victory of ideas.
be accuses Speaker Blaine of attempting to
avoid the real issue by holding up the possibility
of democratic administration, and after eulo-
giving Greeley ut some length, says he prefers
Horace Greeley, with any Congress possible on
the Cincinnati platform, to President Grant,
with his pretensions and his rings. In conclu-
sion he says: 1.-The personal imputation you
make upon me repel with the indignation OF
An honest man. 1 was faithful supporter OF
