Highly Interesting Correspondence.

We publish this morning the following
correspondence between Attorney General
Williams and Governor Warmoth:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
Washington, January Is, 1872.
His Excellercy H. C. Warmoth Governor of Louis
lana. New Orleans:
SIR-The President has referred to me
your dispatch of this date, representing
that the Legislature of the State b as asked
to have the military forces of the United
States placed at your disposal to pre-
serve the public peace. There is a contest
as to the legality Of the election of the
Lieutenant Governor, and also as to the ex-
istence of the lower branch of the Legisla-
ture, dispatches having been received here
from two persons, each claiming to be the
Speaker thereof, and the President does
not feel that he would be justified in de-
Gliding those questions at this time, and
under existing circumstances is unwilling
to interfere in State matters with the mill
tary power of the government, except in a
clear case OF legal right and overruling
necessity.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS,
Attorney General.

This celebrated artist appeared before a
large and enthusiastic audience last eve
ming, at the Varieties, in his old impersona-
ton of Rip Ian JVinkle, the rollicking,
jovial Dutchman. Mr.. Jefferson has lost
none of his fire or spirit since last we saw
him. Rip Tan Wnkle is character that
so few artists attempt to impersonate, that
Mr.. Jefferson is to-day without rival. All
through the piece that remarkable genius
which is characteristic of Mr. Jefferson only
is displayed. No other actor can hold an
audience like Mr.. Jefferson.
Grip Van Winkle' will be produced this
evening.

Hon. George H. williams Attorney General
Washington D. c.:
The President misapprehends the nature
of the request of the General Assembly.
1t does not ask him to decide whether the
Lieutenant Governor was legally elected.
or which Of the two bodies is the legal
House of Representatives. This is ques-
ton which the General Assembly can and
will settle itself, unless it is overpowered
by the mob. The question OF the lieutenant
goyernorship is one to be settled by the
Senate and the courts. The existence of
the lower branch of the Legislature is one
to be settled by the members thereof
There met yesterday quorum OF the Sen
ate, and no question was raised by any
BODY as to the illegalitv Of the election of
the Lieutenant Governor. There has been
quorum in the House OF Representatives
every day since the beginning OF the
session. Not a single member has
been arrested by either House in or
der to make a quorum. There has
not been member or pretended member OF
the Senate or House excluded from the
building. Mr.. Carter, the expelled Speaker
himself has been invited to the building.
together with the four other members
who at his instigatiCn made affidavit
against the Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
several members of the Senate and some
twenty members of the House, and caused
their arrest by United States commits
sioner on false and frivolous charges. and
for which they were expelled by two
thirds vote of the House. after having been
notified for five days to return and show
cause why they should not be expelled.
There were fifty eight members of the
House present at the State House yesterday

Adiutant Generals Office. ,
Washington, August Is, 1857
GENERAL-In reply to your request for
instructions relative to the use of the
troops under your command in aid OF the
civil authorities, the Secretary of War
directs to be furnished for your intorma
ton and government the inclOsed copies of
a letter OF instructions to Brevet Malo
General Buchanan, commanding Depart
ment of Louisiana, dated August 10, 1868.
and of letter from the Attorney General
of the United States to Alexander Ma
gruder Esq, United States marshal North
ern District of Florida, dated August %,
1868.
The letter to General Buchanan indicates
the conditions under which the military
force of the United States may be en-
ployed to suppress insurrection against the
government of any State, and describes
the duties of the department commander
in reference thereto.
The letter of the Attorney General sets
forth the conditions under which the
marshals and sheriffs may command the
assistance of the troops in their respective
districts or counties to execute lawful pre-
cepts issued to them by competent au-
thority.
The obligation of the military individual
officers and soldiers), in common with all
citizens, to obey the summons of marshal
or sheriff, must be held subordinate to
their paramount duty as members OF per
manent military body.
Hence the troops can act only IN their
vroper organized capacity, under their own
officers and in obedience to the immediate
orders of those officers. The officer COM
mandinp troops summoned to the aid of a
marshal or sheriff must also judge for him
self and upon his own official responsibility
whether the service required of him is law
full and necessary, and compatible with the
proper discharge of his ordinary military
duties, and must limi. his action absolutely
to proper aid in execution OF the la @tul
precept exhibited to him by the marshal or
sheriff
If time will permit every demand from a
civil officer for military aid, whether 1t be
for the execution Of civil process or to sup
press insurrection, should be forwarded TO
the President, with all the material facts III
the case, for his orders; and in all cases the
highest commander whose orders can be
given in time to meet the emergency VIII
alone assume the responsibility oi action
BY timely disposition of troops where
there is reason to apprehend a necessity for
their use, and by their passive interposl-
ton between hostile parties, danger of col
lision nav be averted. Depal tment COM
manders, and, in case of necessity. their
subordinates, are expected in this regard to
exercise upon their own resi- onsibility a
wise discretion, to the end that i'll any event
the peace may be preserved.

4 Fighting North Carolina Editor.

The chief fighting editor of the South at
this time, now that the members of the
fraternity in Memphis have rather Stacked
up in the business, is Mr.. Josiah Turner,
of the Raleigh N. c. Register. He is q
gentleman of rare and exquisite pugnacity,
and street rencOntre with n political en-
envy is more precious to him than gold
yea, than much fine gold. And for the
convenience of the future historian he
names his fights as the commanders of
armies name the battles which they win
or lose. His last terrific conflict, which he
STYLES, "Our Morgan-street fight" in con-
tradistinction to his fights which have Oc-
Cured in other streets of the city, was
with no less distinguished foe than Gen.
Clingman. In his graphic editorial de-
scription of the stern struggle: he says:
about the fourth or fifth blow our stick
broke into three pieces. We then closed
and threw the General q dog-fall, as the
boys say in wrestling. When we got to
our feet the General was on his knees, and
we had his feet between our legs" Col.
Turner-we call him Col. Turner, for if
he isn't Colonel he is the only white man
down that way that isn't-is one of the
few fighting editors of the many who
hourlshed, fought and fell before the flood
that is to say, before il is fully demon
strated by the wiser and better journalists
of the land that there is really no absolute
necessity for ending every newspaper con-
trOversy with a street-tight. And if he
will take proper look at the thing he
will convert his stick into kindlinp wood
and resolve TO let us have peace.oCour-

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Please make room
in your paper for the following preamble
and resolution, which was adopted at q
special term of the County Court of Union
county, on the 9th day of January, 1872,
tO-wit:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God to take
from our midst by. the messenger of Death,
our worthy and much esteemed fellow
citizen, William Colvin, Esq, late Clerk
of our County Court therefore,
RcSOLUed, That it is the sense of this
County Court, now in extraordinary ses-
sion, that, by his death, we and the people
of the entire county have lost faithful
and honest public servant, the community
good and moral citizen and the church
all exemplary and consistent member /;
and although his body sleeps in death, yet
his many virtues should live in the mem
DRY of his numerous friends; and while
we would lament his death, believing as
we do that our loss is his eternal gain, we
would bow i'll humble submission to the
providence of God.
Be it further resolved, That this pream-
bic and resolution be spread on the min
utes of our court, and that copy be fur
nished the surviving part Of the family Of
the deceased
And, on motion of J. J. McNeW, Esq,
the following amendment was adopted:
"AlsO that copy be furnished the Knox

HOUSE.
The bill admitting photographs for the APP
preaching national exhibition at Cleveland,
duty free, passed.
Mr. Beck made a personal explanation
answering Mr.. Brownlow, who attacked him
by written speech in the Senate. Mr. Beck
reviewed the history of Tennessee during
Brownlows Governorship, showing that Brown
low had made it a pandemonium. He was re-
peatedly interrupted by points of order, but
Mr.. Blaine, supported by Mr.. Banks, ruled
favorably.
In the course of his speech, Beck said :
What said about a pandemonium in Ten
nessee was said about all the other Southern
States, and good deal more about some of
them. One man, Davis, of Texas, was looking
me in the face when 1 said it. l said more
against Governor Bullock, Of Geargia, who sat
by my side, and they are not all cripples-not
all imbecilos. have never told lie, and am
prepared to prove every fact have stated here
or elsewhere.
They thought they would put man to speak
against me of whom they could say that he is
cripple that he can not write, that he can not
real, that he can not walk, and they shield
themselves behind him. They are not all Grip
pies all the rest can walk. l will prove what
said against every one of them, and it is because
they know that ] will do it. it is because Reed of
Florida, and Scott, of South Carolina, and
Davis, of Texas, and all Of them know that
will prove it, because they know that l have
been prominent in getting up a report which
will be before the country in less than a week,
that they try to blacken me, 50 that when the
people take up the report and read it they may
say, oh, it is that fellow Beck, who was Il ne
gro driver, that says this That is their game,
that is the reason they selected poor, old i'm
beetle to attack me.
'Disavowing any Gisrespect to the Senate, and
quoting from its more glorious traditions, Beck
concluded that he chad not said anything to re-
feet on the Senate, but when he saw vultures
sitting in the nest of the eagle and babboons
taking the place Of the lion he protested against
the outrage lie wanted to keep the Senate
pure and high-minded he wanted TO see the
States represented by honorable men and not
by men who forced themselves in there at the
point of the bayOnet or by fraud, corruption,
Chcanery or Ostracism."
The foregoing is the idle rawlings Of one con-
victed, by the facts, of deliberate falsehood.
The unfairness, not to say downright meanness,
Of the Associated Press Agents at Washington
will be seen, in the comparatively full report of
Becks speech, while nothing is said about that
