co,ered Candidate for Gov. rnor,

The colored candidate for Governor of
Tennessee does not meet with that hearty
support which he had right to expect
from his party. The Republican paper at
Elizabethtown, in that State, says OF
him:
"This fellow Yardley, is brazen im-
pudent-looking negro, and would cerrain-
ly ornament cotton, or sugar plantation
under the management OF a good overseer
who could use the lash with deNterlty
far, more than he would the office to winch
he so impudently aspires."
Such language in IA Democratic Journa,
of the South would speedily be copied
frome one end of the North to the other
as an evidence of the fendish spirit OF tne
unrepentant Confederacy. Think OF 1t

Arrest Of Supervisors and Deputy
MHrShnls,

VIM. III. Slater, United Stotes supervis-
or of election in the second ward, Joel III.
Hamilton, Jacob Seaton and Roger Con-
ner, United States deputy marshals, were
arrested yesterday morning by Police Ser
geant Slusky and other policemen and
committed to Jail on the order Of George
w. Green, of the second ward, charging
them with interfering with the registra-
ton of voters. The four United States
officers were arrested at @ A. M. yester-
day and taken to the eastern police sta
ton, whence they were transferred to Jail
in the van, bail being refused, the police
justice, Farlow' staing that the commit
right to interfere. At about IL A. NJ,
however, by the Intervention of the United
States district attorney and marshal they
were released on bail in $500 each by the
clerk of the Criminal Court for the grand
jury of that court, given by Richard F..
Henneberry. There are two charges of
the same kind against Seaton and and
Conner.
These arrests were made under the all-
thority conferred on registers of voters by
the State code while discharging the du-
ties imposed by the act to ''eXercise the
powers ofjustices of the peace for the
preservation of order around the place of
registration" The act also authorizes
them to issue summonses, attachments
and commitments. The register charges
that he was repeatedly interfered with
and voters obstructed in registering before
him during the progress of the registra-
ton, but that he refrained from ordering
the arrest of the accused until the close OF
registration Wednesday. The commit
ments were then made out and served as
stated. The accused claim that they did
nothing that was not in strict compliance
with their duties under the United States
law. They are authorized by the revised
statute to inspect the registers books chal-
lenge and keep list Of persons offering
to register, maintain a position where
their duties can be best performed, &c.
Mr.. Slater, the supervisor, is republican
candidate for the first branch of the city
council in the second ward. He made a
charge before Commissioner Bond against
Register Green, soon after the registration
commenced, that Green refused to permit
him to use his books, but the case was
settled, Green denying the chirge and Of
fering the use of his books as required.
