A CHARACTERISTIC DISPATCH.

The following dispatch sent last
Thursday should go into history with
some of his other sayings. Emory
telegraphed Grant that he was here
New Orleans) with six hundred men
only that six thousand citizens were
under arms to oppose him, and he
esked what he should do. The follow
ing was the reply
Gen, Emory.
Put down tina. Instruction Report
atterward. lSignedl L. 5, GRANT
The Democratic convention which
met at Nashville last month, and
nominated Mr.. Porter for Governor,
took upon itself the task of endorsing
the administration of Gov. Brown.
That IS, the Democratic leaders and
ring-masters endorse the wholesale
public printing swind!e, whereby the
oppressed ver.burdened tax payers of
Tennessee Were robbed of thousands
of dollars, for the support of q corrupt,
~ AihNli oNtD9NA ' ANAlb AStlllOtAd tlS lIltSSs
They endorse the unfair, unjust and
suicidal policy by which railroad prop
erty, which cost the State sixteen
millions, was sold without notice to
the world, for six millions of dollars.
They endorse penitentiary lease made
within few hours after a law enacted
for that purpose had passed, TO secure
the passage OF which a lobbyist was
paid ten thousand dollars, the lease
being perfected without giving public
notice, and for ten thousand
year less than other responsible par
ties were willing to pay the State.
They endorse this lease with all its
corrupt bearings They endorse a
great many other things connected
with this administration, of which we
can not now speak. Now it is only
these leaders who endorse this cOrrup-
ton which so Expresses the people, but
if the honest voters Of the State are de.
ceived into a support Of that resolu.
ton, they will become responsible foy
their own heavy burdens

THE MEMPHIS 1ruiaachs il fair
enough to say that the Republican
platform, adopted at Chattanooga,
"means direct opposition TO the Civil
Rights Bill" such an honest, truth
full confession from the Pres and

DEMOCRATIC papers in Tennessee
have not thought il necessary to deny
the ugly charges which we have made
from time to time against certain lead
ers in the party. They treat
the public printing swiudle,
the railroad swindle, the penitentlary
lease, the Hobbs-Burch transaction,
the iniquitous Assessment Law, the
specializing bond.holder's ring and
host Of other questions OF similar i'm
pert, with perfect contempt. They
imagine that the people of the State
are so good natured and 80 ignorant of
passing events, that they will not call
their corrupt servants 20 account for
their shortcomings, and that under Il
hypocritical cry about Civil Rights
voters will forget all things else and as
a party measure allow them to revel in
their ill-gotIen gains while longer.

The MARYvILLE Republican has 8
TWO column editorial reviewing the
reasons why Houk ought not to so be-
fore the Republican Congressional
Convention to meet here on the 23d,
The sum and substance Of the whole
article is that Houk could not be mons
mated in the Convention, because the
CHRONICLE opposes him. Well, why
did Judge HOuk so conduct himself
and his three papers all weakly that
we were compelled to oppose him" He
made open, bitter, personal war upon
US, weeks before we ever gave him the
least preteXt fOrit. Oar opposition to
Judge HOuk is the only instance in
which the CHRONICLE has ever taken
sides As between Republicans before a
Convention. Judge Houk forced us to
this course by his war upon us. We
are glad to sec the Maryville EcOuJ'i-
can honest enough to admit that Houk
recognizes the mpossiOility Of success,
in Republican Convention with the
CHKoNICLE opposed to him.

\ SPECIAL New Orleans dispatch to
the Louisville ColWicr-JournQl says
that the people on the streets were in~
dignant at Nc Enery's hasty surrender.
They said he had till Sunday to
march out of the State House, and he
should not have acted SO speedily, but
he was counseled by the wealthy and
intellectual men of the State. They
advised him to give up at once, which
he did at o'clock this evening, re-
turning to his residence Yes, and if
the facts were known, it would appear
that the wealthy and intellectual
men OF the state - opposed the whole
movement. That instruction will
cost every tax payer Of Louisiana three
times as much as peace would
have cost them, even if their worst
charges against Kellogg are true. Its
the young, hOt-headed leaders, who
have little to lose and plenty of time Co
talk politics, that came near inyoiviu-
the whole land in another war. These
young fellows, and a few old fellows,
vino have no legitimate business, moth
ing to do but promenade The streets,
drink whiskyand eXpouud Democracy,
are the men who are stirring up bad
blood here aud all over The South.
They are the curse Of the country.
They are the men who brought on the
last war, and they want to bring on
another. Knoxville has some Of the
breed.

Speech of Col. John 5. Kerr Last Night.

Speech of Col John >. Kerr Last Night.
Col. John ). Kerr, of Memphis, addressed
the citizens of Nashville last night, al the
corner of Church and Cherry streets, de-
voting an hour and half to a recital OF
his views upon the political situation, State
finances and the urgent reasons why he
should be elected Governor. He said he
believed II was conceded that West Ten
nessee is TO furnish the next Governor, as
she has never yet furnished either a Gov
eTnor or United States Senator. The great
question before the people at this time, he
said, was, 'HOw are we TO pay our State
debit" Il had been allowed to accumulate for
wears. and had been increased by a COM
rounding of the unpaid interest, until il
amounted TO a sum fearful to contemplate.
He had strongly opposed the funding
measure passed by the last Legislature,
which had increased the sum to be raised
annually for interest OH the State debt
from 100000 to S1,j00,OO0. He was in
favor of having all the bonds for which the
State is responsible, placed on exhibition
a, the State Treasury, and Of throwing out
all such bonds which had been purchased
at less than face value, and then providing
for a full payment of the remainder. This
would have beenthc course adopted by him
self but his brother Legislators failed to see it
in that illumination, and the funding bill
became the law of the land.
As for the Civil Rights bill Inc denounced
it i'm unmeasured terms, aud said that if
tine friends of that measure were dctermin-
ed 10 force the matter to an issue, he was
for the white man first, last and all the
time. lie urged his hearers TO vote the
White Mans ticket in the approaching
county election, and give no help or en-
| couragement to those candidates who gave
a quasi recognition to the infamous civil
RIGHTS bill

NOTWITHSTANDING that Louisiana l.
under negro and brother-in-law rule, there
was an actual excess Of white voters in the
State, according to the census Of 1870. At
that time the total excess of white males
under twenty-One years Of age was 4,O94,
and Of white voters 153. Since 1870, how
ever, there has been large negro immigra-
ton from Georgia and Alabama, and il is
probable that now the negroes exceed the
whites in numbers.
