Jordan and Hon. J. NJ. Coulter, Of Glib

UNITED STATES SENATOR.
From the Gallatin Examiner.l
EDITOR ExAMINER-Mr. Buchanan
in his acceptance of the nomination for
senator for Davidson county, very prop
erly said at is none Of your business
who l am for, for United States senator. "
The constitution very wisely cOnfides
the election of senator to the legislatures
of the different States. The people can
not give B true expression Of their pref
erences, except by mass-meeting OF
the whole people of the State, which is
impracticahle. But as our county con-
vention asked the people TO express
their preference by voting ct the No
yember election, it Is hoped that full
vote will be polled. There are other
prominent men spoken Of for the posi-
ton besides johnson and Bate, neither
Of whom, this writer believes to be the
choice of the people of the county. 1t is
understood that our governor, John G.
Browns name will be submitted to the
legislature. In every position that he
has ever filled, whether in "the tented
field,n in the constitutional convention,
or the chief executive Of the State, he
has proved himself able, honest, econ
omical and efficient, and in the opinion
of your correspondent il the man whom
We should send to the United States
senate. CIvIs.
sASDERsvILLE, october 1, 1874.
A PEOPLES MAN, AN INDEPENDENT.
From the Union City Reveille.l
DR.. Etubberield, the candidate for
State senate of this senatorial district,
made 8 very able, sound and solid speech
in the courthouse at this place last
Saturday. 1t is the opinion of many
men that to put DR.. Stubberfield face to
face with the people, and lay the prim-
ary election and everything else aside,
even the proof which ne carries in his
pocket, he cannot be beat for the senate.
His forcible and sensible arguments
against railroad monopolies, political
rings and high tax tariffs, are to the farm
ers aud middle-men irrefutable. He re-
minds US in his force Of expressions to
the oppressed Taxpayers IN this State,
very much OF Hon. Joe E'Cal. He is

and combating the same legislative is-
sues which our favOrite representative
did, during his short but successful career
in the State assembly balls, and what
more could the people ask Of DR.. Stub
berheld in the next State senate?
PORTER AND MAYNARD AT KNOXVILLE
From the Union and Americana
KNOXVILLE, October 3.-The opera
house at one O'Clock was densely filed.
Judge Porter opened the discussion with
8 pleasant re erence to Knoxville, the
ancient capital Of the State, and TO the
great soldiers and statesmen which she
has for many years furnished the nation
and State. He said Maynard was not a
for governor, like former can
didates Of the Republican party for gov
ernor Of Tenne see; he was only candi-
date for consul to the ancient capital of
Bohemia. The platform Of the Demo-
cratic State convention was briefly
glanced at. These are the principles
which command the approval and re-
feet the sentiments of the great body Of
the people. We do not wish to increase
tsxstion. We believe that the present
taxes are sufficient TO meet all the re-
quirements Of an economical admins
tratiOn OF the government. You will
see by Maynard's public career that he
l. unfit to control the destinies Of our
great State.
Here followed Maynsrd's record
on the civil rights bill. Judge Porter
closed with 8 reference to the recent out
RACES in Tennessee, for which be held
the Republican leaders responsible.
Nj Maynard commenced by declar-
alton that he could answer the charges
on bis public record by the fact that his
neighbors and friends had entrusted him
with public Office for a quarter OF CEN
Jury. He declined TO consume time In
answering the national questions raised
Dy his competitor. They had nothing
to do with the governor Of Tennessee.
He read the resolution OF the Nashville
Democratic convention expressing con-
fidence Al Governor Brown, and pro-
ceeded, as in his previously reported
speeches, to refer to the public printing,
the penitentiary, the funding and as
sessment bills, aud Hobbs. He went
over his civil rights record as heretofore.
He referred to the course Of Judge Porter
In the constitutional convention, allud-
ing 10 a vote on an amendment which,
Maynard charged, placed Porter in the
position Of favOring the poll-tsx quslifi-
cation in the constitution. He said POr-
ter voted against every resolution in be-
half OF the negroes, and against the
provision in aid OF new industrial en-.
terlrises. The Butler memorial
was defended a. previously re-
ported. The expenses OF the govern
ment were defended as economical.
In his rejOinder, Judge Porter said,
with emphasis, that Maynard had not
only done him injustice bat had uttered
what was deliberately untrue. Two
days ago, az ROgersville, he had shown
Msynsrd that he had not voted for the
poli-tax qualification in the new cOnsti-
tuition. Five days acquaintance with
MAYNARD had taught him that he hsd
no idea Of justice. Judge Porter then
read from the official proceedings of the
constitutional convention, showing
that he had voted against the pOll-tax
nrovislOn. MAYNARD, he said, talked
about the isblOody month Of August"
There was another bloody month Of
AuSust ia Knoxville, in 1865, when
men were murdered right under the
shadow Of Maynard's house without a
word OF dissent from him. Maynard's
record IS a southern fire-eater and negro
hater was illustrated by extracts from
his speeehes At times, the demonstrs-
tions OF the audience were vigorous,
particularly when Judge Porter made
his reIoiuder. Both candidates were ex-
ceedinely vehement IN their rejoinders
ana the audience partoOk Of the ex-
citement aud eheered Justify al
sonae especially pointed remarks. May
Dsrd was at hls best, urged by being
al home, aud spoke well. Judge Porter
seouIttsd himself with spirit, tact and
sloquenss, fully msriling the unre-
