William 81. Randolph, Memphis, Tennessee:
DEAR SIR observe in the Memphis
papers of late date that you sre q candi-
date to represent that Intelligent district
in congress. l hasten 30 congratulate
you and the people whom you are seek
ing to represent upon your candidscy,
and trust you will be victorious in the
struggle before you. This imprOmptu
expression OF good will for your success
moves me not particularly from any pCs
liticsl considerations, but in gratitude,
deep and heartfelt, for befriendirg my
self and five other Union prisoners, who,
in the fall Of 1852 under circumstances
OF great iHdignity, were dragged from
their homes and arraigred before the
Confederate court at Little Rock. Al
that time yGu we're the Confederate
States attorney, clothed with almost
despotic power, and the people, frenzied
against all who had the ttmerity o
agoW sentiments friendly to the COIL
tinusnce of this glorious Union, founded
and cemented by the blood and treasure
of our fathers; and q comparative
stranger to you withal, in reason, we ex-
pectei rough treatment and q terrible
ordeal, To our utter establishment, 10
your jealous eXertion, l may say, we
were permitted to have fair trial, and
were acquitted by jury. You in
Weighed in no acrimonious terms against
US, but treated US with kindness and
every consideration due gentlemen, for
which attention I hold you in tender
and grateful remembrance, and without
knowing or caring for the local issue
that divides the people OF your district,
wish you success, and your splendid
abilities recognized. Very respectfully,

THE Gle THAT WAS NAILED. ''
The Proposed Answers Of the Avalanche
Regarded as so Much Facetia by
Butler p. Anderson.
The FaeF is, that the Statements Of
State Treasurer Morrow and the
Officers Of the Fourth National
Bank Cannot be Answered.

In publishing the following from
Colonel Butler P. Anderson, it Is proper
we should say that the articles
in the Avalanche Of yesterday, Of
WHICH his communication treats wise
ly, begged the question at issue.
The avalanche declared that Gov.
ernOr Porter had borrowed a certain
amount of money to pay the interest Of
1915, past cue, and the State treasurer
and the officers Of the Fourth national
bank OF Nashville, through which the
AUaLGRchesaid the money was borrowed,
as well as Governor Porter, denied that
any money (much or little) had been
borrowed. This ia what the avalanche
had TO deal with. That paper was fold,
in the plainest possible language, that it
had given currency, if it had not origi.
mated, falsehOOd, but instead Of ac-
knowledgi9g the fact it squirms through
two columns OF labored tWsGdle, inter-
spersad with figures, such as IL has been
dealing TO its readers in homeopathic
doses during tbs campaign. II is AN
INDIsPUTABLE FACT THAT THE STATE
OFFICERS DID NOT BORROW Any MONEY
TO PAY INTEREST, AND DO NOT NEED
TO BORROW MONEY. Any reiteratiOn Of
the statement to the contrary will here
after bs regarded as the repetition of
lie out of whole cloth.

CASEY YOUNG AND RANDOLPH
Why n Union Man Thinks Every body
Should Vote for YOung's Re
Election.
The Absurd and Ridiculous Attempts
of Randolph to Play the ROIe of
Union Man Champion.

EDITORS APPEAL-The substance of
Mr.. RsnGolph's argument is that he
should be sent to congress and Casey
Young TepUdiated, as Iebuke to seces-
sion Democracy. Having myself been
an undertaking Union Wing, from first
to last, and now immOvably opposed to
the election of any man to congress who
hss even 8 lingering tRint Of disloyalty
to the Union, l propose to briefly exam
inc the claims OF Mr.. Randolph.
What is there in the past record or
present position Of these two gentlemen
that would warrant 6 Union man in
distrusting the soundness Of Colonel
Young, rather than that OF Mr.. Ran
dolpb? l shall do Mr.. Randolph no
igjustice, DoT find any fault with his
past record, for say let the past be fol-
gotten. 1t is not my object to offer
bloOdy-shiTt criticisms on his disunion-
ism, which seems to have begun early,
and was sufficiently active to secure for
him an important appointment from
Mr.. Jefferson Davis. Wherever the re-
suits OF the war sre accepted In good
faith, as Mr.. Randolph has done, sll the
unpleasant memories connected with it
should be buried forever. But since Mr..
Randolph himself first appeals to the
BAEgAhlOC9 6CAAS4CA Og tAC W
thrusting -his loyalty in the face Of
Colonel Young, it reminds some OF US Of
the fact that while Mr.. Randolph was
an sctiVe Breckenridge and Lane dis.
union Democrat, SIS il charged,
IN Arkansas, Colonel Young was
an active Douglas Union man in
Memphis. Let us be consistent. Again,
does any Union man regard the
sub5eQuent action OF Colonel Young, in
shsri1g with his young associates the
hardships oi the field, less honorable
than procuring 3 lucrative Office st the
hands OF President Davis? The truth
is, the record OF Colonel Young is more
acceptable to q Union man than Mr.
RanJolph's. The opinion very extern
sively prevails that those who did the
fighting in the war, On both sides, can
be best trusted to adjust the differences

RandIOlDh,s Card.

EDITORS APPEAL-Plesse dc me the
Justice to publish the accompanying let
ters from Hon. Lafayette Gregg, late q
judge OF the supreme court OF Arksn-
sas, and Hon. Anthony A. G. Rogers,
late q member of congress from the
same State. Both those gentlemen were
arrested by the military authorities. The
jury Colonel Rogers refers to was the
grand jury, which ignored the charge
against him and those arrested with
him. As to the case OF Governor Bsx-
ter, referred TO by Mr.. Clark and Mi.
Stevenson in the letters you published,
the facts were that he was captured
In Missouri by q military scout and
brought to Little Rock. He
was turned over to the civil su-
thorities, and the grand jury found
true bill against him for treason. The
facts constituting the charge were updis.
puted, or capable Of certain proof. The
Ofense being capital was not baiable,
and he was confined in Jail, l always
understood he was treated kindly while
confined. AS district-attorney, I could
have had him tried whenever 1 desired.

my discretion SO to the time Of trial, and
never did. 1t ia ROW more than thirteen
