The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1874-10-14
the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
There are malicious falsehoods being
circulated promiscuously about town
and throughout the country by mischief
makers and enemies who partially claim
themselves to be Democrats, by report
ing the name of Col j. NJ. Bewley in
connection with Capt Jas. G.. Hodges
as being rebel during the war, in order
to defeat his election. But this little
scheme that is being attempted by a
clique that are known enemies to both
the Colonel and Captain, will not amount
to farthing, as it will have long been
checked before doing either gentleman
any serious harm. 1t is the voice of the
people and their strength deposited at
the ballot box that tells their choice, de-
spite the unjust, gross and malicious
ISLANDERS that may be hurled against the
champion in the contest. 1t will be thus
in this case. The friends of these gen.
tlemen viii have their eyes as wide open
to their interests, perhaps, as those
of their enemies against them.
AS regards Capt. Hodges, it is true
that fate led him on the side of the I'M
fortunate party; but nevertheless, even if
he were IN the wrong, his soldiery career
during the conflict was ever marked
with high, noble and brave spirit, and
praisworthily and CALAMITY did he &C.
quit himself at the close with the honor
able title with which his many friends
now greet him. His citizenship among
the people of Hamblen county since the
war has been exercised with as gentle
manly spirit and high toned principle as
that of any other citizen of the county
whether union man, rebel, or what.
Capt. Hodges was made the choice Of
the Democratic party at the Rogersville
Convention, by getting the nomination
to the Senate from this district. He is
fully qualified and competent in every
respect to make worthy Senator. He
will at all times, should he be elected,
strive to secure every interest to the peo-
pie of this section, and will in no wise
ignore any question of importance on
account of political differences; but, it is
enough to say that anything that can be
done in the Senate TO the advantage of
the counties which have so generously
rendered him the honor, that he will
unhesitatingly and unflinchingly strike
a blow in their behalf regardless of re-
publicanism or democraticism, unionisIn
Or rebelism, 6at for the peopEe-because
he is their servant and not the party's.

The following letter TO the Chairman
of the committee appointed to notify
Esq. Leeper of his nomination for Rep
LEGATION
r. B. OwENs-Dear Sir: / have just
received-a communication through you
as Secretary of a Democratic meeting
held in Morristown, on last Saturday,
stating that was placed on the COnser-
vative ticket as candidate to represent
the interest of the counties Of Granger
and Hamblen in the lower branch of
our next State Legislature, and ask
whether or not will abide by the same
In answer can only say, that if the
nomination had taken a different turn,
and had fallen on either of the gentle
whose names have been before the pub
lie for some time past, or some one else
better qualified for the position than
feel myself to be, I would certainly
have been very much gratified, Still,
for the sake of compromise candidate,
as expressed by your action, l don't feel
at liberty to refuse the use of my name,
and will, therefore, do fhe very best l
can under the circumstances; and if elect
ed, will discharge the duties of legisla-
tor to the best of my ability.
The time from now until the election
is so short that it will be out of my pow
er to see anything like majority of my
fellow-citizens, many of whom would
like to converse with me face to face be-
fore casting their votes either for or
against me. For the information of such,
l will here state that my position in pol
itics are now and have always been Con-
sentative.
I am opposed to all the features of the
Civil Rights Bill now before Congress,
believing, as 1 do, that the passage of
such a law would be imPolitic and I'M
just.
That economy in all the bearings of
our legislative proceedings should be
strictly adhered to, and under no cir
cumstances should our taxes be raised.
Our agricultural and commercial inter
ests should be closely guarded, and all
discriminating evils removed, if possible
by the laws of the State.
In conclusion, whether my felIow-cit-
liens vote for or against me, 1 will re-
main their and your most obedient SER
want, l.. f. LEEPER.

The nomination Of L. F. Leepcr as the
candidate of the Conservative party to
represent HambIen and Granger cOun-
ties, cannot fail to be univer sally accept
able to the masses Of the people. Moth
ing we can say can add to Esquire Leep-
er's good name, among the people of
Hamblen especially. But it will be only
saying what all who know him know to
he true, when we say he is one OF
Hamblen's purcst and most highly re-
spectacle citizens-a Christian gentle
man without a blemish upon his char
acter-during the dark days of the late
war, consistent union man, who treat
ed all his neighbOrs, whether rebel or
union, just as neighbors and as he had
always done7 since she war, COnserva-
tive, as true as steel to his party from
the close of the war 20 this day.
He is Il man of well balanced, strong
mind, and possesses perhaps as great a
store of information as any man in either
county. For many years he sacted as
Chairman Of the County Court of Jeffer-
son county, and 50 systematized finan-
cial affairs that Jefferson will feel the
impress OF his hand, for good, after he is
in his grave. Upon the organization of
Hamblcn, he was, by common consent,
placed at the helm of her affairs. Her
fortunate financial condition to-day she
may, to a great extent, credit to J.. F.
Leeper. Withal, lie is one of our real

After the report of the Senate inves-
tigating committee, declaring that Kel-
logg had not been elected, and advising
another election, the country naturally
looked for an explanation, to account
for the support given him by Congress
men and the administration of President
Grant. Some clue to this mystery can
be obtained, perhaps, from a perusal of
the following correspondence, captured
among Kellogg's papers on the day of
the citizens coup d'etat in New Orleans,
from which it will be seen that several
distinguished politicians have placed
themselves in the attitude of being
bribed:

Why VIM. Z. Chandler was working

from the following which was written
while the Louisiana Bill was before the

some time since, l found it desirable to

ing to ask for a retainer of So, for

that time there was no case in the SUI

During the American Revolution.

his military costume, was passing by
where small company soldiers were at
work, making some repairs on a small
redoubt. The commander Of the little
squad was giving orders to those who
were under him. relative to stick of
timber which they we're endeavoring to
raise to the top Of the works. The
timber went up hard, and on this ac-
count the voice Of the little great man
was oftener heard. in his vociferations
Of "Heave away! There she goes |!
Heave ho." The officer before spoken
Of stopped his horse when he came to
the place. and seeing the timber some-
times scarcely move. asked the COM
mander why he did not take hold and
render little aid The latter appeared
to be somewhat astonished and turning
to the officer with the pomp of an
emperor, said, "Sir, I am a corporal !"

the officer; / was not aware Of that )"
