Col. Looney Went for Judge
Williams.

a special to the Nashville Banner,
dated Columbia, Oct. 10, says:
Col. Looney literally ruined Judge
Williams here last night. Such with
ering, crushing, overwhelming defeat
has not been witnessed in Tennessee
since the memorable debate between
Haskell and Brown, in South Nashville,
in 1852. The unmerciful but good
humorcd castigation would have excited
sympathy but for the fact that VIII
iams was guilty Of unworthy tricks in
his speech by garbling the Supreme
Court decisions. AS it was, a kind
hearted State-ctedit man, prompted
solely by the tcnderest sympathy, ac-
tually looked up Williams after the
speaking was over, to console him with
a drink.

AN ADDRESS
From tho National E3nlO
cratic Committee.

At meeting Of the National Demo
cratic Committee, in New York, Oct
18th, the following address wasadopted
To Democratic and Conservative voters o
| tn" country:
The election Of President and Vice
President il now before you. State ano
local dissrnsions are eliminated from tho
issues Of the day. The magnitude Of Il
victory or defeat can only be cstina
ted by the forces and means employed
in securing it. BY fraud and corrup
ton the people Of Tie country were dc.
fcatcd in their purpose in 1876, and the
righttuIIy elected President was kept
from office. With the combined CAPT
tai VI the Republican party, aided by
repeated assessments upon an army OF
onicc-hoIdcrs; with the power Of the
Federal Government, represented by
United States marshals at the polls ;
with intimidation, fraud, and Il resort
to every corrupt appliance known to
Republican methods, concentrated in
two States, our advcrsaries have Sue
ccedcd in procuring the probable return
of their local candidates. Can it be
possible that in every State throughout
this broad land the same methods can
be brought TO bear that were used by
Republican managers in Indiana and
Ohio ? Can the great States Of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Cali
tornia, Colorado, Nevada and New
Hampshire be bought, lntimidatcd and
d"iraudcd ? Even without the vote Of
Indiana, which we believe will be re-
deemed in November, with New York,
New Jersey, and the States that are
conceded to us, including Maine, the
election of our candidate is assured.
The Republican party have put in
for President and Vice
President two men who, by admission OF
heir own partyand press, are unworthy
# your confidence and your sulliagcs
/ is impossible that fifty millions of in
clligcnt and patriotic people will con
cnt to place themselves upon the hui
level thus prepared for them
" Republican managers.
Fellow-citizens, the first days rcpulse
1 Gettysburg ended on the third, with
hancock in front, in glorious victory.
The victory secured us our Union. The
uestion is not now the preservation of
he Union, but Of Constitutional Gov
Hancock is now, as then, in :
'ont. The repulso is now, as then, an
men Of victory which will secure to
,ming generations the iEcstimable ,
IcSsiug Of civil liberty. {

EsrnL SPRINGS, Tenn, Oct. - 1850.
Editor Home journal;
We see from your paper that Mr.. II.
q. Hampton has withdrawn from the.
race for Representative, leaving the
field without an opposing candidate to
the extremist (Mr, Beaslcy). We see
also, from different State papers, plans
for uniting the opposing factions Of the
Democratic party for the purpose ofd de-
fcating the Radical candidate for Gov
crnor.
These facts have induced your hum
bic correspondent to lay before your
readers, briefly, a plan that he thinks
would meet the appreciation Of both
parties. The 5O-4 proposition that was
referred to the people, to settle the
State debt, we always considered fare
well, and that left the whole matter in
a'aiv g1o, GIFT did not carry and 50
wrote at the time.

Lets 1t Out Of
the Bag.

Special to the American
GALLATIN, Oct. 13.-Thc Chairman
of the Davidson county boilers, Walter
$. Br9nstord, let the eat out of the bag
in conversation here to-day. He said
the Wilson men Of Nashville were jubi-
liant when they read the news Of the
Democratic defeat in Ohio and Indiana !;
that they did not care Il d-n about
Hanco,k's election" that they would
rather see Hawkins elected than Wright,
and that the Democratic party in Ten
nessce had gone to hill. He also said
that the Wilson men did not intend to
act with the Democratic party in the
future, but would form Il new party.
The above can be vouched for by re-
liable gentlemen from both parties.

i flung Jury.

From the Fayetteville Express
a jury Of twelve men agreed first
that II man was guilty Of larceny, and
then agreed that they would fix his
term of imprisonment at the period for
which majority by ballot should
agree. Two Of them voted for two
years two for four years two for five
years and the remainder, or four Of
them, for seven years. When the
votes were counted they found that
there was not majority for any num-
Der Of years, and their yots amounted to
nothing.
SO it is with submitting proposition
to settle the State debt. If IL single
proposition Of settlement is submitted,
though all may agree that it ought to be
settled, those who think the settlement
proposed is too much will vote
against it; those who think it too little
will vote against It; and, as there are
an hundred rates between / and 100, no
single proposition will receive Il majori-
ty, and the thing will never be settled.
If a man can be bought to vote for
too large settlement, another may be
bought for the same rate Of settlement,
and the addition of few dollars to his
price will secure his influence and vote,
notwithstanding his pledge to submit II
settlement to IL vote Of the people. III
everybody is corrupt our system of gov
eminent is faiurc--ior somebody
must be trusted.

Bank Of Tennessee Notee

The following circular has been issucc
by the State Comptroller:
CompiroIiG's Office, NayhrIic, Oct. 3,
1SS0-lo trustees, clerks, and other
collecting officers: Under the provisions
of Senate joint resolution No. 80, acts
1879, page $50, the treasurer and the
comptroller, in the absence Of II legal
opinion by the attorney general in the
State, thought it their duty to refuse to
receive, in payment of dues to the
state, the bills Of the bank of Tennessee
known as cold issue" Now, however,
that the matter is about TO be tested in
the courts, the attorney general gives an
opinion to the effect that Stdtgtc cannot
be repealed by resolution; that the law
is still in force authorizing collecting Of
ficcrs to receive, from taxpayers, "oH
ISSUE Tennessee money in payment of
state tax; and that il would not be adj
visable to'subcct the state to payment
of costs by further refusal thus to re-
ceive it.
In presenting this character Of funds
for the credit Of your revenue account,
please let it be shown in your report, or
by certificate or otherwise, that it was
received in payment of state tax, from
whom received, date, etc.
1t may be unnecessary, but not i'm
proper, to add that this circular applies
wholly and entirely to old issue Tennes-
zee money, and nothing herein contain
ID can be construed to imply chat ne~
ssue is receivable in payment Of taxes. :
