we're mistaken in any supposed adyan-
tages they imagined themselves enjoy
ing from said money il heir city, and
their fear Of loss from san removal was
uufouuded TAis p.obbIy accounts
for the fact that be Nirtlu) received
no pay for his services rom the busi-

be the beneficiary, ne footed tie ex
peuses.
TIE 2nd is that, Ruter was thought
10 be OF good moral character: that the
bank enjoyed the confidence Of the
community, and that Batter had turn
ed over $500, 900 to Legislative Com
mittee, aud given satisiac;ory security
The facts are Rutters securities were
utterless worthless, The good character
which secured him the school fund was
his Radicalism aud his corrup. inHuen-
ces, and 50 far as screening himself be-
hiud Legislative Committee, we need
only quote from . speech made Tues
day lasf. at LeLauou, Tenn, by Gen.
Brown, the present Governor Of Tenn

which is Published ia ,he Nashville
Banner Of the 18Th inst. GOV Brown
charges upon his Radical opponent this
same school fund defalcatlOu, aud says.
The party in power permitted the
counties. two years ago. TO tax them
selves II they wanted public school. l
know that ny competitor will object 10
this system, but while his party was IN
power. out OF ajax Of 100000. it spent
- 900 year 10 printing reports OF the
Superintendent, 100000 in other ex.
peuses; aud there is no telling where
some OF it went--lost | reckon! Ap-
plause Perhaps my competitor can
tell you where it went. Applause and
laughter That WAS not taken down
South by Harris and his Legislature.
Perhaps Raiter cot it. Ruher did gel
$500 900 After being carried all TIE
way round for three long years. 5000
600 was brought back from the South
The Radical party stole the whole fund -
Gov. Brown says Ruiter got $500,
600. His Radical opponent does not
DENY or defend. Rutter swears that
Col. Martin helped to manipulate the
affairs OF his bank before the Legisla-
ture and that he gave him money for
said service Col Martin admits that
he was in Rutier's employ at the time,
but explains his connection Herewith
This is all Of it.
Ia conclusion, we say, Col Martin
has devoted column after column 10
personal abuse Of the editor Of the CoUK
iER-all Of which proves nor disproves
uothiug-we care nothing for lit

..Timid dogs bark the loudest." he
offers 30 rebutting testimony-ouly
what purports to be an extract from :
Memphis paper, aud when the public
read said article, VIC ask them to OBJ
serve closely, and tell Us what paper it
is from. The name Of the paper is
omi.ted.
We hope never again to be dragged
into such eeRtrovery.
