ANDREW JOHNSON.I
The Main Points Of His Speech at Gal.
latin Yesterday.
Formal Announcement OF His Candi.
dacy for the Senate.
His Record from 's5 to 'es Platform
Good Enough for Him.

Ex-President johnson addressed a very
large audience, including many ladies' at
Gallatin. Yesterday afternoon. He COM
menced By saying that he was one Of the
original Changers, having advocated their
principles in message TO the Senate in
hS65. Agriculture, tie mechanic arts and
labor were the very foundation of society.
In referring to the financial condition OF
the country, he advocated the payment of
interest on bonds only for the amount at
which they were actually sold. The inter-
est was now Sl,500, 900 per annum, and
half that amount could be saved by adopt
ing his plan, as the greater portion Of the
bonds were disposed of by the government
at 30 cents on the dollar. This interest
should be paid in greenbacks.
|; He was in favor of a return to specie
payments, did not want any State banks
and hooted the idea of reyiving the old
State bank, as proposed by Comptroller
Burch.
Il Turning to political matters, he said that
he had stood by the people of this State
after the close of the war. He had vetoed
the reconstruction bills, the Freedmen's
Bureau bill and the Military districts bill,
iand had brought upon himself the iupeach-
Iment trial, in consequence of his devotion
ITO the Southern people. He had been be-
trayed by Henry and Edmund Cooper at
the time-four years ago-vhen be should
have gone to the United States Seuate;
but other and better men than he
had been betrayed. And now be was
again a candidate for the Senate. IT elect
ed, he would serve the people to the best of
his ability. he had been asked for his
i'platform," and woald point to his record
as a public man, from 1885 TO 1859. If
anybody wanted better record, he would
have to make it for himself, as he (Mr. J.)
twas out of material. He felt, that from his
knowledge Of men at Washington, he
could serve the people as well as any man
in the State.
Mr.. johnson said nothing about the Lou
isiana troubles, and was not questioned on
that point.
Although the speech was two hours and
Ithree-quarters in length, Mr.. Johnson was
listened TO throughout with deep attention,
and was frequently applauded.

~ it Vas sVelled TO E larger crowd than
that OF Thursday evening, The receipts
from this source panned cut very satisfac
torfly.
Exhibitors continued to move in, and
arrange their goods, and great deal was

assortment OF china, glassware, etc, an
attractive display of hair and fancy work,
a lot Of Kentucky jeans and blankets, artis-
tic specimens of embroidery, mattresses

These and oiheE things which We're put
in order, increased the attTactiveneSs of the

so much empty space, though great many
things are yet tc be brought in.
During the day and evening there were
the sans busy sceIsez which met the eye
and the ear on wednesday and Thursday.
Panels were going up, and stands, show
cases and rooms were being fitted up as if
the Exposition had not vet opened. Work
was being pushed forward on the art
gallery with the view of opening it to-day.
Quite a number Of pictures, contributed
principally from the parlOls of art-lovilg
citizens OF Nashville, were already on hand.
The UNION AND AMERICAN extra
press was engaged in running OF the Ex-
position edition, which is distributed free
to all who call for it.
A beautiful cascade Of water could be
seen and heard pouring over the scenery In
the west end Of Main hall.
The Dining hall, fruit stand and refresh
ment saloon, kept in the interest of Tulip
Street and West End churches, were doing
a good business. Visitors can hardly pass
those elegant establishments without ex-
tending their patronage; they are attracted
thither by both viands and loditerS.

large attendance of handsome, stylishly |

the older citizens Of the county, who freely |
share the contents of their well-flled din |
ner baskets with the Sojourner and the

Indge Lea,s Declination.

To the Union and Americana
As one of the citizens of Davidson
county protest against the deciination Of
Judge Lea being received. He is able in
mind, in body and in purse to seTve US in
the Legislature. He must do it. He has
more at stake than any other man in the
State, with one or two exceptions. The
nomination went 10 him unsolicited. He
cannot decline. If he will not volunteer,
be must be conscripted. The Committee
should not for moment entertain his let
ter. This is no time for squeamishness !;
hence / talk plain. If Judge Lea will not
serve them, Democratic institutions are at
a discount, and we had better do as they
did in New Orleans, call in Grants regu-
lars to rule us, and thus end the farce Of
Republican Government.
PLAIN TALK.

Thursday evening. about six O'Clock,
at Franklin Ky, quite a serious difficulty
occurred between J. z. EdnIinhis, sheriff
Of Simpson county, and Ed. Tapscott. The
difficulty occurred as follows: Tapscott was
indicted sometime since and fined for
selling whisky without license. The sher-
if procured capias for Tapscott's arrest
and upon his failing to pay the fine arrested
him. Tapscott resisted and attempted to
make his escape. Edmonds shot at him
and again arrested him and placed him IN
jail. He was released on bail, and while
Edmunds was standing upon the street,
slipped up on him aud stabbed him very
severely in the back and head, inflicting
about six wounds in all. The sheriff
turned and fred at him twice but failed to
hit him. Tapscott made good his escape
and has not been captured.
Sheriff Edmunds is suffering very much,
but his wounds are not considered danger
