on the Poplar street boulevarde, near the

beaten into shapelesS mass, and the body
stripped almost nude. He sold some prop

last night with about $50. 1t is supposed

I'VE understand that an invitation to
ex-President Andrew johnson to speak
at Columbia, signed by 1000 Maury
county citizens, irrespective of party,
is soon to be sent to him. Mr.. John
son will probably arrive here by Mon
day.-BanRer.
In quoting, yesterday, from the Co.
hlmbia Herald, to the effect that there
were five Democrats in the "delega-
ton" which invited Mr.. johnson to
address the citizens of Maury county,
instead of only two, as stated by the
UNION AND AMERICAN, the Banner
was very careful indeed to omit the
following: "I'he Banner exaggerated
the importance of this accidental meet
ing-there lcas no delegation about 1t. 5"
How about the 1000 Maury county
citizens" then?

AT the barbecue, yesterday, Mr..
Brien limited that the UNION AND
AMERICAN is being run in the interest
of Judge Cooper. Now, We have
no choice whatever between
Judge Cooper and Col. Mer-
rift, so far as their candidacy is
concerned, and would heartily support
either, if nominated by a conyen-
ton of the Democratic and Conserva-
tive voters of the county. Mr..
Merritt knew what he was about
yesterday when he said that
he could dispose of Mr.. Brien easily
enough if Judge Cooper were out of
the way-and Judge Cooper could
doubtless say the same of Mr.. Merritt.
Either would unquestionably make a
better Chancellor than Mr.. Brien.

The Bard declared emphatically that,
although he was so rough on the bOndhOld-

speeches which he intended to make dur

between the rich and the poor. He then
recited the pOetical address which he sent
to Congress i'm 1862 with regard to dam
ages which be had sustained. While the
address did not result in his obtaining the
compensation prayed for, and nevertheless
secured a place in the literature Of the cOun-
