From a Conservative Union Man.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: In your yester-
days issue you struck the key note, in
your wholesome suggestions and advice to
the Conservative Union men of the coun-
try. 0mitting and passing over the
actions of the last State Legislature, in
their proscriptive policy towards the very
men who, more than any other class, help
ed them out of bondage, ii is known and
indisputable fact that nearly, if not quite
all the so-called Conservative candidates
for Congress, in East Tennesse especially,
received the endorsement of trumped-up
Conservatives upon the basis of their SER
vice in the rebel army, or upon their out
side espOusal of the cause of the rebellion.
Passing beyond and rising above retalia-
ton, what is the interest of the Conserva-
tive Union man i'll this campaign 1t has
been demonstrated to him that a vote for
an eX-rebel is cut at his own throat If
their action in the Legislature of State is
SO prejudicial, how much more so will it
be in the affairs of the nation
The Union men of the South want
and must have national legislation
to recompense them, in a measure, for
their losses during the war. The eX-sol-
diers, their widows and orphans want
this legislation to protect them in their
rights, and in a measure recompense them
for tie losses of their husbands, fathers,
and sons who have been manned and pros
trated by loss Of health and given up their
lives for the. perpetuity of this Govern
ment. ~.
Does a single one of this class believe for
a moment, in the light of passing events,
that they will get this legislation by vot-
ing for proscriptionists who have so po-
tently shown the scarlet hand and cloven
foot in times but recently gone by? Com
mon sense and reason should teach them
better; and / much mistake them, if.
upon that common sense and reason, their
judgment does not impel them to act,
when the time comes in which to act, for
the best interest of themselves and the
best interest of the whole country.
Again, Tennessee, in my judgment,
would be vastly benefited by sending
proper and influential men to represent
her at the Capitol Of the nation-men who
would have influence with the incoming
administration. 1t can not but be con-
coded by every fair minded man that the
election of Gen. Grant is a foregone con-
clusion. Is it not, then, policy in the peo-
pie of this State in view of our interests,
the improvement of our rivers, the build
ing of our custom houses and other Union
matters, to cast our vote for and sup
port the men who have heretofore helped
us and whom we know will in the future
stand by us, from principle as well as in
terest, rather than help those whom eX-
perience has taught us will grind us in the
dirt whatever occasion offers? The de-
duction is too plain to admit of controver-
versy. -.--... UNION.

The Germans and Hashburne.

Minister E. B. Washburne, the old
"Watch Dog of the Treasury" and Gen.
Grants original friend, who in the earlier
years of the war adhered to him closely, is
now on a visit to New York. A dispatch
from that place dated 2Sth, says:
The representatives of two German
American associations to-day prese nted
Hon. EIihu Washburne an address express
i've of the grateful recognition of his kind
ness towards the German residents of Par
is during the horrors of the siege, in not
only carrying out the literal instructions
of his government, but in voluntary sac
rifice of his own personal comforts and
giving cheerfully from his own stores to
needy and starving Germans. Minister
Washburne in reply says the credit for his
acts is due to the administration of Presi-
dent Grant, under whose specific direc-
ton he complied with the request of the
German government to assume the protec-
ton of Germans in France. He felt that
he correctly interpreted the feelings of the
government and people of the United
States when he followed inclinatiOns of
his own heart in doing what he did. If
he is able to send 10000 Germans out of
Paris before the gates of the city are closed;
it was the unbounded liberality of the Ger
man government furnished the means and
the French government gave him every
support possible during the last terrible
days of the siege to secure protection and
furnish means of support to the 10000 Ger
mans who f1ocked to our legation, it was
because the government of National de-
fence caused his position TO be respected !;
and if he was able after the siege to con-
tinue that protection it was because he had
of q Ronnhli0 and
the illustrious man M. Theirs, who is at
the head of the government, and perhaps,
says Washburne, nothing could better ex-
emplify the power of our country and the
respect paid our flag than that the Com
mune of Paris, in its career of crime and
blood, released on my demand more than
a hundred Germans who had been thrown
into prison guiltless of any crime and sub
jected to frightful prosecutions.

POLITICS IN THE PENITENTIART
Brown Pardons Cenyicts Because they
were Rebel Soldiers.

EDITORS CRoNICLE: The following facts
have recently come to our knowledge, and
we publish them to show the Union peo-
pie of thenation what sort of agovernment
we have here in Tennessee:
Last winter, while the Legislature was
in session, one of the members was talking
to q convict in the penitentiary, and he
asked him if he had ever been in the rebel
army. The convict said he had. The
Legislator told him if he would get GER
tificate from some of his company officers
that he had been confederate soldier, he
would have him pardoned out. The con-
Wet wrote and got the certificate, and IN
three days from the receipt of said certlfl-
cate he wa3 pardoned by Gov. Brown. Inc
conversation between the Legislator and
the convict was in the presence of one or
two guards; and our informant saw the
certificate himself.
No wonder the kuklux of Middle and
West Tennessee bid defiance to the law.
Let it be known that rebel Governor in
Tennessee pardons penitentiary convicts
because they served in therebel army.
