THE GRANT CONSPE
RANY- IN LOUTSLAN NJ.

The Neao York T3t5une's Washington
correspondent gives a compendions his
tory of the Louisiana outrage, and very
clearly shows that Grant and Williams
were members of the conspiracy that set
up the Kellogg usurpation. If Congress
does not impeach Grant for his connec-
ton with this matter, then public indig-
nation ought to drive Congress out Of
Washington. The Z5a6une's correspond
ent winds up as follows:
In all this disgraceful history-dis-
graceful to no one more than the Presi-
dent of the United States, who seems to
think it his privilege to set up and over
turn Governments as may best suit the
caprices of his ambition-the one ray of
light is the belief of the conspirators that
the majority of members of Congress of
both parties are too honest to take part
in the fraud, if they only knew what it
meant. Grant, Williams, Kellogg, Nor
ton, Butler, Chandler, all appear, from
first to last, in the attitude Of hoodwink-
ing Congress. 1t is too much to hope
that their successes in that line are at an
end, and that when Congress next as
sembles a .searching inquiry viii be made
into the scandal and a prompt redress
found for the cruelty outraged State of
Louisiana.

FOSTERING LITERARY THEFT


To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Enclosed hand you printed circular
sent out by the g Great American Litera-
ry Association, Yellow Springs, Ohio.
A number of these circulars were sent
to the students of East Tennessee Uni
versity. You see this Association
proposes, for a consideration, to furnish
essays, lectures, orations, sermons, sal
utations, valedictions, poems, &c, to
such as have money, but are scarce of
brains. The enclosed came directed to
a student, who has the manliness to ex-
pose it, and looks upon it as an associa-
ton to foster literary theft. This may
succeed in the region from which it
comes; but, will do a poor business in
this latitude The rascals should be ex-
posed and Iashed.
You have doubtless read production
over the signature of one A, s. Prosser,
a briefiess attorney, who manages to live
upon the guardian ad litim" crumbs
thrown to him by Radical Judge, to
the effect that neither the lives nor pro-
perty of Republicans have any protec-
ton in Tennessee. The Chronicle men
publish this article without comment
Thus setting forth such facts for the con
sideration of those North, seeking homes
in the South. Such men, though among
us, are not of us. They have no inter
ests or feelings in common with our peo-
nile and the State would not suffer if
they would return whence they came.
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1874-10-21

G Says the Union and AnerSeGH: 1t
appears to be difficult matter for the
manufacturers Of outrages not to expose
the animus of their work by some state
ment so at variance with the facts as to
be known as such by every man. For
instance, Attorney General Murray, of
West Tennessee, furnishes Attorney Gen
eral Williams "a longrreport, detailing
many outrages,p making particular
reference to sixteen negro prisoners
taken from jail recently and hanged, and
says that as soon as the facts were prop
erly brought to his attention, he caused
warrants to be issued for the apprehen-
sion of such persons. as he believed gull
ty from the testimony in his possession.
Now, the fact is, that not one of these
negroes was hanged. Four were shot
dead, two were wounded, and ten es-
capped unhurt. And it was upon the tes-
timony of a number of those who es-
capped, that BIr. Murray had several citi-
'zens of Gibson county arrested. Why
did he not tell plain, unvarnished tale,
and not make the affair more outrageous
than the facts warranted?

ET5 In James d. Porter, we have a
candidate for Governor who has con
WINGED the dispassionate of all parties
that he is peculiarly fitted for the posi-
ton he seeks. He is a man of ability
honest and deeply interested in the well
fare of the people. A warm advocate of
education-but man who will never
consent to humiliate our sons and daugh-
tiers by sending them to schools to be ed
ucated and raised up on equality with
negroes. A majority of the negroes were
content when they got the opportunity
of sending to separate schools. But May
nard would, by his votes, force equality
in everything!

TIE E. r. DIVISIONAL FAIR.

We neglected last week to say word
about the E. T. Divisional Fair, which
closed its four days exhibition on the
9th. We have only time now to express
regret that it was not the success finan-
cially it was otherwise. The officers and
managers deserve the highest praise for
their labor and efforts to meet the APP
grounds were greatly improved and ma
ny most desirable changes had been made
over previous fairs for the convenience
exhibitors, especially of stock, the stock
pens having been rebuilt on a much more
more eligible portion of the grounds.
There was a very decided increase in
the number of exhibitors, and the stock
was superior in every respect, quantity
and quality, to any exhibition we have
attended there previously. The differ
ent departments showed up gratifyingly
superior to what we had feared. We
were especially pleased to witness the
interest taken by ladies in the departments
Of home products, industry, textile fab
RIGS, plain and ornamental sewing, Gro
cheting, knitting, etc, etc. To the Ia
dies the managers should feel, as doubt
less they do, most deeply indebted for
their most excellent and attractive con-
tributions. The Divisional Fair, we
repeat, was most creditable to the efforts
and aims of the managers. Nothing but
the appalling scarcity of money proven
ted it from being a success financially.

WEST VIRGINIA.

JUDGE PORTER, our candidate for Gov
ernor, arrived in the city last evening
from Murfreesboro. He is in fine con-
dition and is highly delighted with the
enthusiastic reception accorded him
wherever he has appeared. He reports
the Democracy thoroughly united, and
working tremendously in East Tennes-
see, and that they will give good -ac-
count of themselves on the Sd of No
vember. All the indications point to a
handsome gain in that division of the
State. With Ais reception in Middle
Tennessee he could not be otherwise
than pleased, while the condition of the
party he represents is such as to encour-
age him to look with confidence for the
largest majority ever polled in the State

CLAIBORNE AND HANC0Cq

We have information from a reliable
source that the Conservatives of Clai-
borne and Hancock counties are fully
aroused and at work for our candidates
in the Congressional and Senatorial
races. Many Republicans are out open
~ against Judge Butler in this race, and
it is the opinion of leading men in Han
cock county that Mcfarland will gain
800 votes over him in that county; whilst
Capt. Hodges will carry an unusually
large vote. This is cheering, indeed!

i QUESTION or STATE RICH

4 QUESTION or ST1TE RIGHTS.
Some weeks since Geo. w. Smith was
Kidnapped from Illinois and brought to
this State, where he is under indictment
for murder. The attention of Gov. Bev-
eridge, of Illinois, was called to the mat
ter, and he demanded from Gov Brown
the return of Smith and the delivery to
the Illinois State authorities of the kid
nappers, B. K. Ward and NJ. L. Will
liams. Gov. Brown replied to the de-
mand He reviewed the facts in the
case; admitted that the action of the
Tennessee officials was without the war
rant of law, but hoped that, inasmuch
as Smith was VIGOROUSLY guilty of muir
der, and that as there was no intentional
disrespect shown to the authorities of
his State, Gov. Beveridge might find it
compatible with his sense of duty to let
the matter rest as it now stands. This
Gov. Beveridge is not willing to do; but,
on the contrary, renews his demands for
the return Of Smith and for the arrest
and delivery to the State authorities of
the kidnappers. He says that the guilt
or innocence of the accused is not in
question: that the laws of Illinois pro-
vide for the detention for a reasonable
time of any person against whom there
is evidence of liability for crime in an
other State, and that the abductors had
no authority or legal pretense for their
act. The Nashville papers publish Gov.
b. s letter, with the information that it
had not then been seen by Gov. Brown,
owing to his absence from the city.
