In TRoUBLE.-The County Commits
sioncrs of Miaiin county have got into trouble
While the Supreme Court was sitting at Harris
burg, they granted q mAndamus against the Con
missloners of that county, directing them to erect
a bridge across the river at Newton Hamilton.
This order they neglected to obey, and an attach
ment for contempt was issued against them, re-
turnablc in Philadelphia. Last week they were
produced in Court by the Sheriff of Mifln, and
failing to justify their conduct were each fined
$500, being allowed until October LIST in which to
pay it or show good cause why II should be remit
ted, the Chief Justice remarking that they were
doubtless considered as good citizens, they would
always find it more to their advantage to yield
implicit obedience to the law than by seeking all
sorts of shifts by which to invade 1t.

the Philadelphia postmaster informed him that
his request would be complied with, and on the
strength Of this assurance we may reasonably ex-
poet soon to receive mail matter on the day that 1t

accommodate the public by thus assuming duties

Mr.. Hight is a candidate for the Sen

advocate measures, ii elected, for the
establishment of common schools
throughout the State, by and through
which every child in Tennessee NAV lie
enable to obtain q fair education. This
is a matter that should DO looked after
by our law. makers. There are hundreSs
OF children all over the State growing
up in ignorance o account Of their par
cnts being unable, ana there being 10
common schools, through which to re-
ceivo all education. We feel confident
that the people Of this Senatorial Dis.
trict can rely upon Mr.. Hight as an hon
CRADLE high-toned gentleman, and ono
who will guard the interests Of the whole
people. Hell no political de-nacoguo; is
no political trickster, but on the other
hands a plain, practical man, and is the
very man to represent the people in the
General Assembly Of the State of Ten
nessec. Therea are mon of all political par
ties who will cheerfnlly support him.
This is proof of his high stand
ing among the people.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept, 18th, 70.
Editor Enterprise:
DEAR Sm.-Tn response to your call
for correspondence on the political stu
a5ion, ] desire to address a short COM
munication to your readers in regard to
the race for Congressman ut Large. Az
this is the only question on which the
ranks Of the Democracy arc divided, it
is right that itshonld be thoroughly dis
cussed and understood.
Why should We support Gen. Cbea-
than? The first and principal reason,
he is the regular nominee of tho Demo
cratic Convention. His honesty, up
rightness and integrity are questioned
by no one. In war he was q soldier, in
peace q citizen. Though he has not the
gift Of %eloquonco, he is possessed Of that
good, sound, common sense. that would
he of more advantage to us in Congress
than any amount of forensic talent. He
is himself u farmer and therefore could
best represent the interestsof that large
class OF appropriation.
On the other hand, the manifold rea-
sons tAat should prevent us from sup
porting Andy Johnson, it seems to me
aughtto be apparent to all who are famil-
lar with the history of our Republic for
the last few years.
He is not the nominee of any party.
His conduct while Provisional Governor
Of Tennessee, (and Brigadier General at
the same time, should prevent all hon
est citizens from voting for him.
His Reputation Of the Sherman
Johnston articles Of capitulation, for his
own selfish motives, that he might have
al the honor Of ~pardoning the "Rcbcls'
10 himself, about whichho is Dragging 50
Justify now, even when these articles
we're recommended By Gen. Grant him
sell, and other Generals Of distinction
in the Federal army, should prevent
every honest >~eitizen from voting for
him.
Aside from these, lis disgracefal con-
duct in regard to the trial and execution
OF Mrs. Surrott, inspires lolthiug and
horror OF the man who could dip his
llnds without shuddering in the blood
OF nm aged, gray haired woman, whose
only crime was that she hcrta boarding
house; and his minions who oxecuted
that crurl and bloody sentence refused
to her weeping daughter the sad CONGO
lation of burying her mother, bat cart
~thccorrs into an unknown grave among
the graves Ct common criminals.

ChnathGm
The New York H-Jo'd has Il cores
Pondent travelling with the candidates
for Congress from the State at large.
He sent a couple of letters from Jones'
borO, which make the chances look a
little gloomy for Mr., Johnson even in
East Tennessee. This writer savs that
in a party Of thirteen who were conyers-
ing about the canvass, eight we're for
Johnson and five for Cheatham." lie
overheard Il man say to another on
the street corner, This fight is Jeirecn
ChcatbGm md Doyanrd, so they think
here pretty generally" This, too, in
Washington, the adjoining county to
Greene. "Not a round ofopplause broke
the long two hours stretch oESis (lTr.
J's) defamation" In concluding his
address at seemed as if he might as
well have been talking to a bonIghtcd
lNmr-?ost,' OF Gen. Cheatham the
Hrrod correspondent says:
Gen. Chcatham wound up the de-
bate. He sail, in the words Of Marc
Anthony, he was a plain blunt man, I'M
accustomed to oratory. His life, when
not in the army, was spent as a farmer,
ahd neither ayocation was conducive to
cultivation Of the graces. He accepted
the position Of standard bearer Of the
Convention that nominated him that ne
might do his humble best for his COM
try. lie detailed how that Convention
came to give him the nomination, aal
rououncod it the greatest ever held IL
the State. The General spoke calmly
and 1ueG,iy enough tor oho,.t fifteen
minutes, and on concluding WIS given
a round Of applause.

and honestly. We also feel that Mr..
II. will receive the nomination in the
convention, il such be held. Yet, we
are of opinion thnt a convention now
would not result in any good to ourpar-

In his speech made at Lebanon, Gov,
Brown said "Belore we can ever invite
capital aud labor into our State with
success we must devise and execute IL
financial system by which our past due
debt shah be funded, and resume the
payment of interest"
The Union and american thus CON-
mouts on the above quotation:
This suggestion is wise and to
the point. A condition Of quasi repudi-
alton and bankruptcy is not inviting to
foreign capital or honest industry. Our
State indebtedness is not 50 large but
what it is better policy to pay it, how.
ever improperly contracted, than suffer
the discred!t and all incidental injuries
that must follow a successful evasion.
Gov. Brown estimates our taxable prop
cSty MS worth some six hundred million
dollars; and our debt unproyidcd ior as
some twenty million, orlcss than four per
cent of the property to be taxed for the
payment OF the same,
No other question affects so directly
and deeply the value Of cur real estate,
industrial aud mercantile interests as
