WASHINGTON LETTER


Correspondence PUBLIC LEDGER.l
WASHINGTON, January 26,-The
record of Hon. Casey Young is above
the malicious injury sought by the
pseudOnymic writer in the Avalanche.
| know that the Avalanche would not
Intentionally misrepresent Mr.. Young.
nor give encouragement to the mali
cious efforts of any person, for that
journal, under the management of
Colonel Nichols, deals fairly and
~squarely with every one. However, l
shall say a few things which no one
a controvert. Mr.. Young, while
quietly engaged in the practice of his
profession was first brought forward
without solicitation on his part as a
candidate for congress in the demo-
cratic convention of his district in
1872. Upon the first ballot he came
within four votes of being nominated
He then withdrew his name and Hon.
Landon g. Haynes received the nom
nation, and, though he was a gentle
man of great popularity and the high
est ability, he was defeated by 36CO
majority by the republican candidate
Hon. Barbour Lewis, confessedlv tbe
ablest party leader the republican
party has ever had in Tennes-
see. In 1874 Dir. Young was again
brought forward by his friends before
the convention. After a prOtracted
struggle he was nominated over sew
eral of the ablest and most prominent
men in his district. Judge Barbour
Lewis was again the republican
nominee, and, after a spirited can
yass, Mr.. Young was elected
by nearly five thousand votes. His
first effort upon entering congress was
an eulOgy upon Andrew johnson.
which stands and will remain a lastina
evidence Of Colonel Young's ability
aud elOquence as an orator. lie was
placed on the committee on public
buildings and grounds. and on the
committee on Mississippi leyees. and
participated actively in the work Of
both these committees.
Returning to his district in the fall
Of 1876, after the adjournment Of con
gress, he was re-nominated BY accla-
nation, and defeated his republican
competitor, VIM. N. Randolph, by a
large majority. During the 18th con,
gress he succeeded with Senator Har-
ris in passing a bill TO build the Mem
phis customhoase out Of Tennessee
marble, to be dressed and prepared on
