TRENTON, Tenn, July 8, 1879.-
Judge John r. Garner-My Dear Sir:
Your esteemed favor received. =
= If the people have an opportu-
nifty to settle at the rate proposed, and
it is not done, it will be an act of
supreme folly-eyen madness-that
will bring consequences, that | fear
will not be righted in my day or yours.
| should rejoice above all things to see
the question settled on the terms pro-
posed. 1t would give us peace on the
subject, and hopeful spirit, that
would be the sure guarantee of return

The NashvIIIe AmerLean,. view.


Nashville American, Sth.l
When the active opponents of the
50-4 compromise made their appoint
ments to address the people, they
fancied they would have the field to
themselves, as the friends Of the set
tlement had then taken no active
steps toward organized action; but in
almost every case the obstructionists
have been met and vanquisned on the
stump. The canvass, from now until
the question is settled at the polls,
next month, promises to be warm
one, and the people will have an op-
portunity of hearing a class of men
altogether different from those who
seek to mislead them.
We publish below two patriotic let
ters from Judges Freeman and Tur-
ney, which are direct and to the point
These men are quiet, retiring, able
men, but they are men of information
and convictions and, moreover, of
practical sense. Such advice is valu-

is in his opposition to the payment of Southern war
claims but it is nevertheless fact that the course
he has taken is one which would receive the sup
pors of every disloyal Southern claimant and OF
claim agents generally, as it would be the special
means of opening upa way for the payment OF
Southern war claims.
The assault upon the Southern Claims Commits
sion is due entirely to the name the Commission
bears. The general impression is that 1t is trbu-
nal formed in the interest of Southern war claim
ants. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Inc
Southern Claims Commission is almost the only bar
rier which now stands between the disloyal claim
ant and the Treasury. For years tho attorneys oil
Southern claimants tried to get law passed by
which their cases might be placed before the Court
of Claims, knowing that by reason of President
Johnson's amnesty proclamation no proof of loyalty
could there bo demanded. The Southern Claims
Commission. being only an agent of Congress and
not a court, may adjudIcate claims IN accordance
with such rules of testimony as Congress may pre-
scribe, and long as ii exists dlslOyai claims are
barred.
As the laws now stand, war claims will be barred
by limitation on the 10th of next March. III tins
law is not changed the Southern Claims Commits
sion may then be abolished with safety. But If the
restriction should ever be removed, "A commission
shOuld be formed to adjudicate claims unless 1T

THE GRAFTON OF Mr.. VOORHEES,.


HE PAINTS TERRIBLE PICTURE OF WHAT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN III THE REPUBLICANS HAD NOT BEEN
LOVERS OF ORDER AND EQUAL RIGHTS.
ICY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBrNEl
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator voorhees, is a re-
markable man and great orator. His speech tins
afternoon commanded attention on both sides OF
the chamber and from crowded galleries. His Dem
ocratic associates and the members the House who
came over to hear him were astOnished to learn
how terribly they might have been oppressed by
means of the war legislation of the Republicans
Senator voorhees, was not content with assaiing
the statutes which it is sought to amend or repea
by means of the pending Appropriation bills, but
found whole chapters of the Revised statutes
which were equally oppressive and terrible in pos
sibihties.
The Senator evidently recognized that little or
nothing remained 10 be done with the logical phase
of the pending issue, and he devoted himself to an
assault upon the emotions of his hearers and the
public Ir this line he always shows himself
master. His own heart was evidently moved 10 ITS
depths by the sufferlngs which might have resulted
from a violation of the laws TO which he objected.
He omitted to say what he proposed to do when the
Presidents veto should come in and IN this con-
nection it is remembered that Senator Hears ques-
ton of Yesterday to Senator Beck concerning the
intentions of his party has not yet been answered.
The Democratic portion of the audience OF sen
atOr VOORHEES, did not wait to hear Senator IeleTs
story of what he had seen and heard from witnesses
who were under oath in Louisiana and South caro-
lima during the stgalon by MS committee IL
WAS good story TO place beside the sOnOTOuS efil-
sion Of Senator Voorhees, and those who read bolh
speeches will learn from excellent authorities both
what might have been and what really was uole;
Both Senators were warmly congratulated DS
