by the Judge to the following effect:
Judge.-Bring the prisoner into court.
Pete.-Here / am, bound to blaze, as

was all a-fre.
We viii take little fire out Of you.
How do you live?
| amt particular, as the oyster said.
when they asked him if he would be
roasted or fired.
We don't want TO hear what the oyster
said, or the spirits Of turpentine either
What do you follow?
Anything that comes in my way, as
the locomotive said when he ran over
little niger.
Don't care anything about the locomO-
tive What IS your business?
That's various. as the cat said when
she stole the chicken of the table.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

THE SIXTH CONG RESSIONAL DISTRICT.
To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE. July IL, 1ST4.-The desire
Of every man in the Sixth Congressional
district should be to unite on n proper man
by fair and just procedure.
IL is right 10 refer Ia the people the Sc
lection Of their own delegates TO all con
ventions: il cuts off political juggling; it
reaches down to the real preferences Of the
people. All Of us are for conventions now,
but they ought TO be expressive Of the
sense Of the people.
No set of men have the right TO PREJUDICE
the action of the people. To call a meet
ing, at which few men meet, its sole pro-
iectOrs, and resolve themselves 4
mass meeting of the people, is
not right in any particular. There can
be only one fair way; it IS that one authOri-
tative committee shall call the convention,
shall fix the place and time, and request
the people Of each civil district to appoint
delegates 10 it, and the people will then be
reached and all will be heard, and salts
faction and harmony guaranteed.
The Executive Committee for this Sixth
district are qualified TO act. Should they
refuse to leave it TO the people it would
look rs if they favored one man to the eN-
clusion OF another. To pack committees Of
selection i'm county meetings is to circum-
vent the wishes Of the people; to get a full
expression is 20 leave each district the Sc
lection Of its delegate, and lie should he
sent direct 10 meet in convention al ClarkS-
vile. Let us have fair play: let us have
harmony. e.
TALK WITH THE EARK on.
To the Union and American.
NASHVILLE, June II. lST4.-Since our
Radical friends, through the influence OF
the so-called Independent, diSOrganizing
candidates (sOme Of whom. fear, are run
ming in the interest of the Radical party
have decided to make no regular nomi-
nations, but are 10 unite upon such
mgl as HCy cm t'Se, and do all the trading
they can, 10 return my sincere thanks to
the many friends who supported me for
Taller, and To earnestly request them 10
give the Democratic Conservative ticket
their undivided support, and do no swap
ping or scratching.
Respectfully, J. j. G.RRETT.

POstp0nement Of the Conference Be-
tween the Cotton and Rail-
road Men?
The Louisville Committee to Report
Tomorrow Satisfactory As.
suranees from Col: Cole.

The Cotton Exchange coihniittee, con-
sisting Of John 7. Wheless, DIR. VIM. L.
noke, Leonard Parke, L. B. Sample and
James Ii. Wilkes, who went TO Louisville
Thursday night for the purpose of consult
ing with Col. Fink in regard to the ware
house and compress scheme, returned yes
terday morning, bringing the news that
said consultation had been very Agreeable
and satisfactory.
The President Of the Exchange set the
hour at ) p. NJ. for meeting of the cotton
men TO receive the report of the committee,
but, upon information that they would not
be ready to report at that time, postponed
the meeting till Monday.
At noon the committee called at the
Office of Col. Cole, and, according 10 their
own report Of the visit and that OF Col.
Cole, rad pleasant interview and arrived
at satisfactory conclusions. Another con-
ference between the committee and Col.
Cole will be held Monday, and it is believed
that matters will be arranged satisfactorily
to all parties concerned.
None of the particulars as to the negoti-
ations have been made public, but it is
gratifying TO know that they have resulted
in a mutual and satisfactory understanding
All excitement seems to have passed
away, though the recent muddle was often
alluded to in conversation yesterday. From
all We learned of the wishes of the cettOn
merchants, it is the desire of many, or per-
haps a majority Of them, that Union
warehouse and compress, should be built,
but il should be controlled by the cotton
men. The need of sto-e-room for cotton is
seriously felt, and a powerful COM
press is decidedly a desideratum.
Gossip has it that prominent banker
remarked yesterday, when asked whether
he would furnish means TO carry out such a
plan as that proposed by the UNION AND
AMERICAN of the 9th, that he would not
aid such a scheme to the extent Of dollar.

Rev. John Heckel, of Knoxville, has
been called to take charge Of the German
Lutheran Church in this city, and will
preach his first sermon to-day. Before
leaving Knoxville he was presented by his
congregation with a cane, as a testimonial
OF their respect and love. He also received
the fOllWing letter from Mayor Staub:
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, June 20, 1S74.-TO
all whom these presents shall come
Greeting: The Rev. j. Heckel, Of the
Lutheran Church Of Knoxville, has labOred
as pastor in our city for about five years,
and now desiring to move to another
field of labor, it is due to him that it
should be certified to those who are not per-
sOnally acquainted with him, that, in his
labor in this city, he has shown himself to
be an earnest, able and heightened servant
of this church, in his private relations to
be without reprOach, and as a citizen, an
honor to the German nationality.
While his voluntary departure fills US
with regret, We heartily commend him to
his people and his work in any future path
way, and invoke Heavens choicest bless
ING upon him. Respectfully,
PETER STAUB,
Mayor of the city Of Knoxville, and
Consular Agent of Switzerland.

Nashville Correspondence of the Louisville Led
ger, July !.
This is the biennial excitement in Ten
nessee. Politics are red-hOt. In Gallalin,
As in Nashville, the feeling is a Senator
for Middle Tennessee, and West Tennessee
can have what honor there may be in the
gubernatorial chair. Quarles seems to be
the strong and coming man for Senator,
while the race for Governor is left To the
division Of the West to determine, the peO-
pie Of which section seem TO have settled
down upon three candidates, all Of whom
a.e fresh men from the people-Campbeil,
Of Madison, Porter. of Henry. and John \.
Kerr. Of Shelby. Neither Of these gentle
men are party hacks. Potter and Campbell
were members of the Constitutional con-
vention: Kerr was an active worker in the
last Legislature, having made character in
his championship of the interests Of the
Tennessee press, hence we deem him
worthy Of more than passing notice. As
YOU know, journalism is sympathetic, and
a blow at our liberties in Tennessee, as the
oppressive restrictions relative to legal adj
veItiSins most certainly is, will be followed
bv equally rs obnoxious legislation in Ken
tuckv. Ofthe three gentlemen mentioned,
John :. Kerr is the strongest man. Basing
his strength on the press support he so en-
inently deserves, and in reading the cOun-
Try journals rs pass through, | am fOrci-
bly, struck with the complimentary notices
of Kerr, who, all seem to concede, is an in
corTuptible, fearless statesman, with marked
ability.
