A GARD FROM MR.. CALLAHAN.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-I Am
credibly informed that certain persons
In the neiyhborhOOd Of Greenton are
charging and circulating the report
that | am the author of a certain
anonymous letter, said to have been
received by Mr.. Charles S. Mitchell IN
relation to his candidacy for the Office
of sheriff. L brand the charge and
report rs false and unjust in every par
tlcular. have not, either directly or
Indirectly, written, OF caused to be
written, II such letter. | know
nothing whatever of said letter or the
writing thereof. l have not for years,
and am not now, taking All active part
in the politics of the county, and if |
was actively engaged in the
| should no condescend to the base
methods falsely charged upon me as
above stated. l fear some aspirant for
official honors, in this. Charge and
report, is trying to utilize and bring to
his support whatever prejudice may
have existed against me in my late and
most unfortunate difficulty. If this be
the object and motive of the circulation
of such charge and report, then he, and
those who repeat the charge, arc guilty
of the grossest injustice and cowardice.
1t will be most gratifying to me if
my name shall be kept out of the
political wrangles and scrambles for
office in the county.

Louisville, Tenn, March l5.-By general
consent the correspondence resulting from
the conference held here last summer of rep
resentatives Of the northern and southern as
semblies OF the Presbyterian church, looking
to union, has been made public. The only
differences found to exist we're on questions
OF negro communicates and political deliver
auceS. oh tne hrst the Renerai assembly ai-
proved the plan suggested by the conference
that colored people be organized into sepa-
rate churches, prssbyteries aud synods, to
have, however, the same representation in
the general assembly as whites. On the
question OF political deliversnces ali agree
mcnt was not reached. but the general assem-
bly, quotes their doctrines, to the effect that
'.Svnods and councils are to handle or con-
clude nothing but that which Is ecclesiastical.
and are not to NEEDLE with civil affairs. ETC."
Decisive action will be taken in MAY, when
the two assemblies meet, and the opinion
prevails that an agreement will quickly be
reached on all points.
