Special to the Union and American.
COLUMBIA, TENN, Oct. 19.-The candi-
dates for Governor spoke here to-day, in the
Athenem Grove, to a large and intelli-
gent audience. Judge Porter opened, be-
ing introduced by Col. d. F. Wade. With
the exception Of two or three new points,
their speeches were the same as those made
at Nashville.
Judge Porter arraigned Maynard for the
hand he took against Judge Frazier in the
celebrated impeachment case in your city.
Maynard accused Col. House, of William
son, of being bought off the track for
Comptroller. Col. House, who was in the
audience, authorized Judge Porter to de-
nounce the accusation as falsehood, which
he did. Maynard swallowed it and made
no reply.
Judge Porter accused Maynard of violat-
ing his oath by permitting himself to be
sworn in as special Judge Of the Supreme
Court, in September, 1867, receiving three
hundred dollars for his services, while he
was receiving four hundred dollars per
month as Congressman. Maynard first de-
MED the charge, but Judge Porter finally
made him admit that it was true.

What He Found Oui In the COmptrOI-
Ierss Once

Immediately after the speaking, Saturday
afternoon, Mr.. Maynard hastily entered the
COmptrOller's Office, and demanded 10 see
the original paper showing that he had re-
ceiyed 500 for sitting as special Judge oi
the Supreme Court, in 1867, and drawing
pay us Congressman n the same time, q
copy of which document had been pro-
duced with such telling effect by Judge
Porter during the speaking. The request
was complied with, whereupOn MIR. May

"Oh, wouldn't think of that" respond
ed Mr.. Maynard, as he abruptly left the
office, having evidently satisfied himself as
10 the genuineneSs Of the document so sud-
denly and unexpectedly sprung upon him
by Judge Porter, and which will doubtless
bear its pant during the remainder OF the

No Present Prcspeet for Indemnity.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-NO official in
formation has been received by our Coy
ernment or by the representatives of
foreign governments at Washington, con-
fiTmatOTy Of the newspaper accounts that
Spain has paid indemnity 20 Great Britain
in satisfaction of damages in the Eirginius
case. The correspondence between the
United States and Spain continues, but
with no prospect of settlement by this
means. Therefore, il is probable that orr
claims for indemnity will become 4 subject
of arbitration according TO the terms Of the
Fish-Pole prctccai.

The Alabama JudgshiP.
Washington (Oct. 1s) Special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
The rival candidates for the Alabama
iuagship, made vacant by Busteed's resig-
nation, are Gov. Lewis E. Parsons and Mr..
J. j. Noah, now 81 900 clerk in the Post
Office Department. Parsons was a violent
Conservative in 1866, but, when Grant was
elected, went over to the strong side, anu
figured the other day as president of the
Chattanooga Outrage Convention. Noah
is intimate with the sO-called Senator
Spencer, and IS gene. e.ally credited with
writing mis- speech for him. IL is
believed that he would be, if ap-
pointed, completely under Spencer's infu-
ence. Parsons is disqualified by his pas
siOns and by other reasons even more po-
tent. There is little doubt that the ap-
pointment will be shaped by Attorney Cen
eral Williams, aud that it will be made as
a mere party job, TO put some one on the
bench who will bring to bear the utmost
severity of judicial tyranny on the people
of Alabama, in order to save the State to
the Republican party. The Ne1o York Re
public, in its Washington correspondence,
very coolly says that political necessities
may make the appointment of Parsons ad-
viSable." The former, as District Attor-
ney of this district, though then, and now,
a strong Republican, was removed through
the influence of the Alabama Radical ring,
because he would not pack jury in politi
cal cases.

On the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railway, fourteen woOd-burning
engines have been recently converted into
cOal-burners, at a cost Of $50 for each en-
gine; and the difference in the cost of the
two fuels, wood and coal, is said TO be $
a day for each engine; this without eonsid-
ering the time and labor saved in handling
them. In July, the coal-burnerS rantrains
at a cost Of 81 cents per mile, against wood
burning engines at a cost Of lilo cents
per mile-a saving which alone would
make fair dividend on some roads.
