SEIZURE OF THE CITY.

Alden, the Commissioner, soon became q
candidate for Mayor, and the registration
was run to elect him. was myself at the
time member of the City Council The
city authorities saw what was coming, and
the purpose OF it; and foresaw that Alden
and his associates would soon put the city
on the road TO ruin. We took legal advice;
and our counsellors were ofopinion that the
charter election should not be held under
the Franchise Law, but under the charter
of the city, which latter pre-
scriped the qualification .of voters. They
also held, SIS the Supreme Court afterwards
decided, that the act setting aside the regis
tration Of the county of Davidson, pass ed
by Kerchevsl and bis associates, was uncon-
stitutiopal and void; and that therefore all
who held Doris certificates could vote.
They also held that the existing Board Of
Aldermen still hai the power to appoint
officers to hold the election. But the Com
missioner of Registration himself appointed
officers to hold the election, and Brownlow
came out in a procl nation as Governor,
sustaining the Commissioner, and forbid
ding lawful election. --, i

NEW WATERWORKs,

supply the people with pure clear
water, even at the highest points in the city.
1t is desirable that the supply should be
more abundant ard the pressure greater,
that it may be utilized in the extinguish-
ment of fires without the help Of engines.
THIS, it is thought, would diminish the ex-
pense of the Fire Department, aDd reduce
the rate Of insurance all over the city. How

TIE FIRST FRANCHISE LAW,

1t will be further remembered, that this
first Legislature passed Franchise Law on
the shot June, 1865. which was intended
to disfranchise the great bedycf the people
Of the State. The Bill passed its final
reading in the House, June 2, 1866, Mr..
KercheUal UOting in the gfirmdttree blouse
Journal of 1865, page 22S) 1t was under
this Law, that certificates were issued py
the County Court Clerk; and under it we
had here what was known as the Lindsey

THE SECOND FRANCHISE LAW.

1t will be further remembered that this
first franchise law was not bad enough to
satisfy thorough Radicals, of my competj-
tors kind; and the same Legislature again,
on the Sd Of May, 1866, passed another,
more stringent franchise laW-more de-
grading and humilisting to the people dis
franchising all who had been previously
granted certificates; and requiring all to
come again to commissioner appointed by
the Cover or, and get new certificates.
This second franchise law, while pending
before the Legislature, created so much IN
dignation even in that body, that it nearly
broke up the Assembly, reducing both
Houses fer a long time below quorum.
Time and time again was the second fran
chise law put upon its final reading for
passage in the House of Representatives;
and upon the count it would be found that
there was no qu7rum present. On these &C.

TIE THIRD FRANCHISE LAW. ~
II will be further remembered, that even

HIS DENIAL.
F. IN my last public discussion with Mr..

cast three votes, as charged above. Ii ne

only makes the thing worst. He cannot have
forgotten that he cast such votes; and above

al which verify my statements.
METROPOLITAN POLICE.
Mr.. Kercheval had also voted for the
Metropolitan Police Bill, April 80, 1866;
blouse journal of 1865, p. 494.) and to
apply its provisions to Nashville, May IA,
1856; blouse Journal of 1866, p. 549.)
1t was well understood that the Act was
intended to put the control OF the city into
the hands of the creatures and followers of
Brownlow. But it will be remembered
that The Metropolitan Police was restrained
by Injunction; and so this device failed OF
its intended purpose, and the last act of dis
reimbursement thus became necessary to
enable the associates Of neg competitor to
seize upon the City Government.
THE ALDEN REGISTRATION. :
Now the people of Nashville csn hardly
have forgotten, the scenes which followed
this third Acknowledgement of the white
voters, and the cotemporsneous en-
reimbursement of the blacks By the
potes- of Mr.. KercheUdl and his dSso-
cidtes. Brownlow appointed Major Alden
Commissioner of Registration, who opened
an Office in the summer, alta point on the
side OF Capitol Hill where the sun shone
the hot est. The commissioners Office
was generally surrounded by the newly en-
franchised voters Of color; and the lately
DISTINGUISHED white man was bafied in his
effort to get bis name registered, and GER
tifcate thereof, by many disgusting divices
and tricks. $780,

The election is within few days--Sat-

oyer-confidence, suffered me to be defeated.
True, there were three candidstes-two
Conservative and one Radicsl-and it is
also no doubt true, that Mr.. Kercheyal was
elected by fraud. Yet these would not
have defeated me, had my friends not bee1

There is danger this year otherthan that
which is caused by over confidence. by

CHARGES.


The charges against me which have been
made in this canvas, are much the came as
those made and answered years ago. Twill
refer to one charge as o sample of all. Ny
competitor charges me With employing
Judge Cooper "for $4,000, to attend to
about fifteen lawsuits, etc" The charge
is made in so Udgle manner that perhaps
have not stated it in the exact terms used.
ANSWER T. Fte Finance Committee
unanimously recommended the contract
and made it; and both boards unanimously
approved it. 2. The contract embraced
nesrer tiUe hundred cases, probably more
than five hundred, in absolutely all the
courts, from Justices Court in Nashville
to the Supreme Court of the United
States. 8. The cases involved be-
tween 100000 and 100000, and were
SO conducted as to drive the Htigants and
other claimants standing on similar footing
into compromises . by which the city, was
enabled to pass off 100000 bonds at par,
and to discount the claims about $275, GOO.
4. At an early day, when complaints were
first heard in the City Council succee ling
the one which made this contract, Judge
Cooper promptly proposed to rescind it, re.
ceive Compensation for so much as had
been performed, and hand over the bust
ness as the Council might order. But the
City Council, though urged to do so, a10lId
not entertain the proposition, nor were any
more complaints OF that contract ever
heard In the Council.
