AN OUTRAGE.-James L. Bell,
Esq, city editor of the Union and
American, was attacked and badly
beaten last week by Robt. S. Pat
terson and Jas. n. Steele, two Off
GERS of Davidson county. Mr.. Bell
had written report of Radical
caucus, which was true in fact, and
which was in no way personally Of
fensive. Patterson and his follow
or, Steele, took exceptions to the
article, and made an attack upon
Bell in his room at the Union and
American office. The paper of the
following day, characterized the as
sault as brutal and dastardly, and
closed with these plain words:
"But, after all, their real purpose
was to bully and brow-beat the
Union and American into silence.
And on this point we care to say
only a word or two. Patterson and
Steele, backed by all the cut-throats
and assassins that lurk in the slums
of Nashville, cannot silence this pa
per. As the pistol must be substi-
tuted for the pen, the shorter and
sharper will be the argument
When our visitors of yesterday re-
turn to "clean out the whole office, &"
no questions need be asked, no ex-
plantations made. If they mean bus
mess of that sort, we will be with
them to the END of the canvass.
In the universal execration which
has been heaped upon these ruffians
for their brutality, we gratefully
recognize the popular Endorsement
Ofour course in the county canvass.
Threats of violence, actual violence
itself, shall not turn us from that
course"

Con. D. NJ. WIsDoM.-This gentle
man is no longer a candidate for Con-
gress in this district. Col. w. felt
that it would be impossible for him
TO make a prolonged canvass for the
nomination, without neglecting high
and important duties of another kind.
At the outset he supposed that such
a canvass would not be necessary,
but when urged to join the other can
didates in list of appointments he
did so. On reflection, however, he
saw that the warfare between the
contestants for the nomination, might
bring more harm to the Democratic
party, than to its opponent, and for
this reason, superadded to the one
named above, he withdrew from the
race.
His action in the matter will cause
surprise and regret to his many
friends in all parts of the district
Personally he was very popular, and
in the localities where he was well
known, his vote would have been
overwhelming. To his friends every
where he returns thanks for a gener-
GUS and unselfish support, and for
evidencies of appreciation that will
Remembered until "the flood gates
of life'ara elosad I" Tbosa who knoHv
Col. w. scarcely need to be assured
that his allegiance to his hitherto
published convictions remains unsha-
ken. For the sake of harmony in the
Democratic artS=-as much as for any
other reason, he cheerfully takes his
place in the ranks of that organiza-
ton, which enrolls beneath its undis-
honored standards, the friends of To-
cal self-government in every portion
of the land.

Boyd had made them a speech pTevi-
GUS TO the grafton Of Comic. He
brought this negro Conte with him
from Haywood county to endorse him
to the negroes Of Madison, and this
was his endorsement. White men of
Madison county and the tenth Clran-
Gerry Division, is comment necessary +?
We have hitherto refraiued from any
allusiOn to politics in connection with
this Judicial election, and hoped that
it would not become necessary to do
so during the canvass. Judge Living
ston was solicited to become a candi-
date by nineteen-twentieths of the
bar of the six counties over which he
has presided for nearly two years.
They were not influenced by political
considerations in their choice, but
having fairly and fully tried Judge
Livingston thoy knew his worth and
desired to retain upon the bench one
so eminently qualified to discharge
the weighty duties and responsible
ties of the high position. They have
spoken their commentator and en-
dorsement in unmistakable terms.
We earnestly invite every voter in this
Chancery Division to read carefully
the address of the bar which Is pub
Iished elsewhere in our paper to-day.
Look at the names signed thereto.
Are they not the men TO whom you
entrust the management Of your hti-
CATION? Do you not go 10 them for
legal advice? Have yon not conii-
dence ia them as men and lawyers?
Judge Livingston comes before you,
soliciting your votes with this en-
dorsement Of the bar who have prac-
ticed before him, and know whether
or not he is competent and qualified
for the position to which nc aspires,
and for which they ask you to vote
for him.
Mr.. Boyd is an unsolicited, self con-
stituted candidate at most fifth
rato lawyer of no legal reputation
even of a local character in the opia-
ion of his brothers of the legal profess
sion. utterly incompetent and unfit
for a Judge, and comes before you
with no better evidence of qualifica-
ton and fitness for Judicial Office
than the endorsement of this negro
Conte. We again ask that you read
The bars endorsement of Judge Liv-
ingston, contrast it with Conte's eulo-
gy upon Boyd and decide between
them. We do not hesitate to say that
Judge Livingston's election is an i'm
perative necessity, and certainly his
defeat by his present opponent would
be a public calamity, a lasting dis
grace to the people, the bench and
the legal profession. Let every voter
who has the honor and the welfare of
his country at heart-who believes
that the members of the bar of Mad
ison, Haywood, Hardeman, Upton,
Fayette and Lauderdale counties who |
have endorsed Judge Livingston and
who urge his election are better quail !
flied to judge of the fitness and quail
ifications of the candidates for Chan
cellor than this Haywood county ne
gro, Conte, not only vote for Judge
but work earnestly from
now until the polls are closed on the
9th of August next to secure his cleo
ton.
