Political Discussion.

NEWPORT, TENN, Sept. 10.
The citizens of this vicinity were enter
tanned on yesterday by listening to debate
between our candidates, Hon. r. r. But
Ter and VIM. B. Carter, upon the political
issues now pending. AS their coming had
been previously announced, there was a
large gathering of both Republicans and
Conservatives anxiously waiting to greet
the speakers and listen to the discussion.
Hon. II. r. Butler commenced, speaking
one hour and half, in which he defended
the acts of the administration and
Congress, in manner worthy of so true
and loyal cause by one both tried and
trusted.
He was followed by Rev. VIM 3. Car
ter, who for the time laid aside his minis
terial garb and commenced with saying
that he had been told since he came into
this vicinity that somebody had slandered
him and the man that did it was an infa-
NOUS liar, cracking his fists together with
great vigor. He was so much excited he
failed to tell how or when or by whom he
had been slandered.
He attempted to define his position as
he thought claiming to have been Union
man in the war. He did not justify the
course of the Union men however, since
the freeing of the colored people. He thinks
the President has no right to suspend the
writ of habedS corpus and denies the rlgh1
of Congress to pass the kuklux law, con.
sidering it as Unconstitutional, He argued
that there is greater dissatisfaction now il
the country than there was in 1860. Some
of his own party were deceived in him
and says he has been overestimated.
r. r. Butler replied to him in nanne
and with an effect that made glad thu
hearts of all true Union men giving then
the assurance that the Republican canvas
would lose nothing but gain much b.
such discussions. The strongest Conserva
tives said Butler was fifty votes stronge
in this county in the evening than he hat
been in the morning. A CITIZEN.
