The prosecution then proposed TO call Mrs.
Hayes, and her Admissfblity was discussed at
considerable length.
Mr.. Hill contended for the Government that
the evidence was admissible, as wherever the
husband could testify the wife was not dlsquali-
fed.
Messrs DaTidge and Henkle urged that q nOIle
pTosequf was not q conclusive discharge, and that
50 long as Hayes was in danger his wife could not
testify.
A recess was here taken.

\ Chattanooga Attorney bewildered

writes to the Commercial as follows f.:
The improvement in Knoxville is
certainly very considerable. The most
solid improvement to be found i'm East
Tennessee, made since the war, is right
here in Knoxville. Market Square,
which was Il bleak and barren region
at the beginning of the war, and worse
at the end Of it. is now Il town, and
almost a city within itself Gay street
has increased and grown to an extent II
mean the buildings and business on GAY
street. that would astonish any man
who has not seen il for a few years.
Knoxville has more money, energy
and enterprise, than any other town
in our end OF the State. Nj nature and
destiny had not marked out and fixed
the destiny Of Chattanooga, Knoxville
would beat her in The race, at least a
ncck's length.

when Rebels" were kukluxed without
mercy and without regard TO age or condi-
ton; when men who had served in the
| Confederate army and those who sympa-
thizod with the South in the late civil war
were "lost" in the woods or whipped in \
savage manner; when they were compelled
to fee to other portions Of the State or to
other States for safety, and years elapsed
before many of them regarded it as safe to
return, while great number Of them never
did return.
Thus it will be seen that this central
organ ofTennessee Democracy, expects
to excite the passions of the ex-rebel
elementin the State, and makevotes for
its Gubernatorial candidate, by highly
cOlOred aud in some respects false pic
lures Of affairs in East Tennessee, just
after the close Of the war. That Il
reign of terror prevailed here at any
time we emphatically deny. That
rebels were "kukluxed without mercy
we also deny. That there were out1ages
committed in some instances we al
init, but that Mr.. Maynard, or the
masses Of those who remained loyal to
the Government of the United states
were responsible is wholly untrue.
And as the Union and american has
opened the question, without our seek
ing, we must insist that the provoca~
ton was in a great many instances,
very great. We knew old grey-haired
men arrested by the Confederate aus
thorities, summarily tried and cast in
to prison, where they suffered in many
instances u most horrible death, for no
other reason than tina. preferred the
Union TO the Southern Contederacy,
and had the courage to say SO. Some
Of these old men had sons in
the Federal army. Is it any
wonder that these young
men should entertain feelings
of hostility towards the prosecutors OF
their old and, under the circumstances,
helpless fathers? Is it not perfectly
natural that they should, under all the
circumstances, 90 imprudent things
upon meeting with such prosecutors
We do not allude to these things
now for the purpose of stirring up the
feelings of those, who have suffered
the wounds Of the past to heal, but to
show such persons as the editor Of the
| Union and american that if the Union
men Of East Tennessee did do wrong
in 1865, it Was not without provoca-
ton. There was a reign of terror y
here in 1S62-3, as our people well know,
and the attempt now to make votes
against Mr., Maynard, because indtyid.
ual ConfedeIates were no, protected
from violence then in every instance
must prove a failure.

GEN. WILDER AND OUR IRON
INTERESTS.
ahe President OF Sac British EsuH and
steel Institute 10 yisi, Chattanooga.

Gen. Wilder having arrived by the
East Tennessee train yesterday after
noon, We called on him i'm the even
ing, at the residence Of Capt. Cham
beriain, and gathered from him some
facts Of the greatest interest to Chat
tauOogu, and the iron district c0utigu-
Gus.
The General stated that he had been
constantly engaged in representing be-
fore English capitalists and iTOnmas-
tiers the wonderful resources of our
country, and its facilities for the cheap
production of iron. He is satisfied with
the results of his efforts, though the
English are cautious and hard to move.
\ number of the best of them, after
having heard so much Of our Tesour.
Ces, have been induced to come and
see for themselves, among them Mr.
LoWthin Bell, Presidentof the British
Iron and Steel Institute, who is now in
New York. This gentleman, and 9
number Of others now in New York
and on their way from Europe, will
make the rounds Of the United States
arriving in Chattanooga in four or SIX
weeks. Gen. Wilder requested them
To give all other districts a thorough
examination, and then come and see
what we have at Chattanooga an,
vicinity.
The General says the iron trade il
England is dun, even worse than il
this country. The English no Longer
expect to get back the American iron
trade unless they come to this country
10 manufacture it, and even then they
expect 10 have to go to the Southern
States in order to control 1T chat

NAILED TO THE WHITE LEAeuERs


The White League organ ON Gay
street, feeling the Indignation it has
aroused 10y its open endorsement of the
Louisiana insurrecuon, aud of the
lawnessness in the South, now tries to
show that il did not do so. In its issue
of yesterday it said:
THE President having determined to do
what he could not he'll dOing-restore kcI-
! logg, whom he had blundered in recogniz-
ing as the legal Guyernor-the Press and
| Herald acquicsced in the duty Of the Nc
Emery government to quietly and prompt
| ly submit to the United States authority
Let US see how this agrees with what
it said Il few days ago. On the 10th
inst, il said;
It seems to us that President Grantaud
his admirers must now see that these op-
| pressed people have rights which must be
regarded and considered.
Again, on the 18Th, the Press and
Herald said, speaking Of the Pre-i-
dents proclamation
Should everything be tranquil, howcv-
or, at the end Of the five days grace pro-
/ Clamatuu by Grant, IRE are at at q loss TO
! perceire irhat irdrTdHt Ice ,CU INIT IN the
/ Constitution for armui iHtcrpositioa.

fHd for doing the very thing it now
says hu could not help doing" But
! the public have branded il as Ku-
kluX white league sympathizer, and a.

grace these outbreaks have heaped up
on the South, aud We 10 NOT wonder

THE SECOND DISTRICT ABROAD.


The Democratic papers seemed greatly
encouraged at the prospect Of a Repub-
lican defeat in this district. The Nash
vile Banner says:
- In the district as matters now stand,
there is n quartettc Of andidates-Thorn-
burgh and Houk being Republicans, and
Henderson and Mabry Democratic and
Conservative The district is Republican.
1t is thought the race will yet become a
three.coruered one-Henderson and Mabry
coming to some agreement whereby one or
the other will withdraw from the canvass. 70
The Chattanooga Times says:
Houk will run the race to the end, and,
while he will b. pretty certain of defeat,
will have the satisfaction Of a trip up Salt
River with Jake for steersman."
The Times expects enough Republi.
cans to vote for Houk to defeat Thorn
burgh. 1t is mistaken in its calcula~
ton. Manygood Republicans prefer
red Houk to Thornburgh, but now
that the latter has been fairly nominal
ted, they will support him. They
know full well that Hcuk's election il
impossible, and, believing that the best
interests of the district aud the South
demand the election of Republican,
they will support Thornburgh rather
than see Henderson or Mabry elected.

Gov. Browns partisan organs have
had great deal to say abou. the de.
cided stand he has taken against the
lawlessness manifested in Gibson
county and elsewhere. We are willing
to admit that he has shown some zeal
in this respect, and are perfectly will
ing to accord him all the credit to
which ne il entitled. But has he gone
far enough? Have the proper steps
been taken for the punishment of the
Gibson county murderers? In his
dispatch to the President, protesting
against the exercise of jurisdiction 10y
the Federal authorities over the crimes
committed in that locality, he says
that forty-one of the guilty parties
have been indi ,ted under the
second and third sections oil the Act Of
Assembly Of Is69.7Uentitled, IAN Act
Ia preserve the Public Peace The
Act alluded TO provides that persons
going disguised to tile premises Of au-
other, and commit an assault, they
shall suffer death by hanging, provl-
ded, The jury trying the cause may
substitute imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for period not less than ten
nor more than twenty~one years.
Does this 60 far enough? Are thesa
Gibson county fellows indicted under
the proper statute? 1t is not denied
that they took sixteen colured men out
Of the Trenton jail, and that they
killed ct least six of them. They are
clearly guilty OF q foul, atrJcious and
coWardly murder. They ought TO have
| been indicted for murder, and if
found guilty they deserved to
be hanged as murdeTers. Who does
not know that, if they should be con
| victed before Gibson county Jury.
with the state of public sentiments
. there, they will be let Off with the
! lightcst possible punishment. If the
! Governor was looking after this mat
ter personally, and if it was his desire
! TO see these lelons punished as they
! deserve, lie should have seen to il
that they were indicted for the highest
crime Of which they were guilty, and
/ punished accordingly. If q man kills
another, he is guilty Of assault and
battery, but who will pretend that the
| majority Of the law is indicated, il
he Is indicted and punished for the
first and minor oflense and allowed
. to go free Oh the latter?

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL, Is the
cause of al the violence, bIuUdshed
and lawlessness in the South, say the
Democratic press, and yet, though the
Representations of the bill were
made more necessarily and vitupera-
lively during the canvass preceding
the August elections, it was not until
after those elections and the sudden
prospect Of Democratic ascendancy
burst upon the South that the violence
increased with such startling rapidity.
Was it, then, indignation at the Civil
Rights Bill, or the prospect of getting
control of the government with license
to maltreat and prescribe Republicans
on general principles, that induced the
lawlessness? If Democracy secures
control of the General Government
this violence will proceed unchecked
until the object of White League ven
geance are eXterminated or entirely
submissive. y vote for the Democratic
ticket is therefore a vote to encourage
prescription, intolerance and lawless-
ness.
