A Kndieal Judge, a Kadical.Tr.ry,
and a J:udi -al Verdict.
On Friday of last week, the case of
Peter Yoakley vs John Hawley, Geo
Galloway, Adam Bowery and F. 51.
j onu. oaIlie UP lor tra' at Jonesboro
j before Judge Gillen waters, and a jury
j (,f Washington County Tenn. The
jt fof boxca iakpn
from Yoak ley's store house 0 miles
South of Blountvi.Ie, byY. P.. Hunt
chief Enrolling officer of Sullivan
County, and a squad of men under or.
dor of Col. Jno F. Terry commanding
Post at Bristol in Oct. Yoak ley
had left home and joined the Federal
ar.-My, at least he so admitted in the
pleadings. After the tobacco was ta
ken, the jT-ities taking it sent an offi
cer and two men to Jno. Hawley 's
lu-Usc 3 miles from Yoak ley's, and im
pressed his wagon and team, and dri
ver, a negro boy A fter they had ta
I ken his waon, team and driver, Jno.
Hawley followed on to look after his
wagon, team and driver. His wagon
was leaded with Yoakley's tobacco,
Jno. Hawley putting one box iulo the
wagon, by order of W. P. Hunt, and
the next day driven by Hawley him
self to Bristol, and under order of
Hunt, turned over to the Confederate
Siatej authorities and Hawley re
turned home with his wagon and team.
The proof showed that John Hawley
went along to take care of his wagon
and team, as did Crawford, Fain and
others, whose wagons and teams were
impressed by the same parties, and for
the same purpose.
There was no proof connecting Jno.
Ilawhy with thr; taking, beyond that
above stated. He was a private in the
Home Guards at the time, and all the
other defendants were iu the Cofed
erate service.
The proof showed that Hunt
went to Yoakley's, acting under the
order above mentioned. The order
itself was produced on the trial, idee-
Lified by Col. Terry, who stated that
he issued it that the tobacco was ta
ken, carried to Bristol, turned over to
C. S. authorities,' and destroyed iu
December following, by Stoueman's
Raid.
Jno Hawley was the responsible de.
I'emtant and strange to say the Jury
returned a verdict, acquitting Bowery,
Galloway and Wolfe, who were along
with Hurt all the time, but finding
Jno Hawley guilty, and assessed dam.
ages against him for $4900.
This can only tie accounted for, upon
the hypothesis' that the war is still
progressing in Washington County
Tenn., and they are operating upon
the Andy Johnson-Brownlow pro
gramme of "making treason odious
and impoverishing rebels'"
The case had been twice removed
from Sullivan to Carter County by
change of venue and last to Washing
ton County where it was finally tried.
St. John, Logan and Kii kpatrick,
represented plaintiff, and F. W. Ear
nest, Deaderiek and York, the defts.

The State Press On Gov
Keni-
pers's Letter.
The Richmond "Whig speaks
in' exalied term3 cf the letter of
Gov. Kemper in reply to the Ab-
iugtlon resolutions.
Tli6 Petersburg Nkws uses the
following temperate and dispassion
ate language touching it :
The letter we publish this mornirg
from Gov. Kemper upon the political
status of parties and events, wid of
course be read with attention by those
uho take a special intere-t in such
matters, as intelligent readers gene
rally do. The Governor s3's much
that is very good, and much that we
take pleasure in heartily commending,
but we entirely dissent from him
when he -ays that tlire lias been no
change since the wr in the rights ol
the States and the liberties of the
people. We consider that the three
last amendments to the federal con
stitution, acquit cii by co-ercion ,
destroyed the fundamental principles
upon which this government was
tornu d, and that the rights of the
State and the people now, as con-
trusted wr.h those cmranteed
ia the original constitution, are no
more alike than is a pure African
negro compared with a pure white
man. The great founders of the
government, if now living, would
never recognize such au instrument
as their offspring, nor sanctiond it
either, except, "as we do, from necess
ity. Ti e present is not the government
of our fathers, and the ILimi.toniau
and not the Jeliersoniaii creed of
"State rights" now prevails, Still,
we agree with" Gov, Kemper that the
situation is one which we have ac
cepted, and though we accepted it
under compulsion, it is nevertheless
a situation by which we -are compel!
ed to abide in good faith, however
distasttf'il it may be to our vieu
and feelings concerning the proper
government of the country. The
past is gone ; the present and t he
future must be worked out with all
the wibdoiii and prudence we can
command . Principles, not, men,
s!:o i!d govern.
Bat this is no time to discuss ques
tions that are calculated to impair
hie harmony of our party, and upon
which the best of men may differ
without subjecting their motives, or
fidelity to the best interests of the
state and party to suspicion. We
are not extremists of either class and
stand, and always have stood, where
Gov, Kemper says the great mass cf
our people stand, the antipodes of all
extremes.
The Index fe Appeal cuts loose,
after the following wild and dis
organizing style, which the people
of Washington have disapproved
of and which will find a feeble echo
elsewhere.
But it needless to answer riqtnarole
with reason. When Epiiuaim joins
is idois, neither expostulation nor
vituperation nor prayers nor tears
nor anything else can reform him.
Let him alone! Governor Kempeu
has crossed the Rubicon. He has
lett Conservatism behind. He would
remand Southside Virginia to a hope
less enslavement to the negroes, lie
belongs now to our enemies, and not
to the catagory of our friends and
allies. He has chosen his way and
we say let him gang his gait. Every
utterance he has mvde since his elec
tion shows how far and fast he has
strayed from the true doctrine, in the
faith and fear of which he should
rather have died, lie seems to have
been fatally bitten by the ambition
of Presidential or Vice-Presidential
honors which has betrayed to i idicu
lous failure so many Southern poli
ticians. We haie heretofore resented
the deep wrong done by him to Pe
tersburg ; we n;onru now the injury
hi would fain inflict on t!ie State.
But while in the former instance his
veto sufficed, the people will in turn
veto his proposition when he tries to
betray them to the authors and the
architects of their run. AH honor
be to Governor Kemteu's record in
the war! All the more blame ntd
shame to the policy of compromise
and surrender which now seems
likely to link his name with that of
such Conledcrates as Longstreet?
The Dispatch is always eooland
generally wise. Here is what it
says :

it is an indeperdent political paper, belonging to
no parly and wealing no collar. It fights for prin
ciple, and tor the election of the beat men to office.
It especially devotes its energies to tue exposure
of the great corruptions tlirt now weaken and
disgrece oar country, and threaten to nndermine
r-pnblican institutions altogether, Jt has no fear
of knaves, and asks no favors from their sup
porters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the
markets for the men, especially the rattle lurr
kets, to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published
One dollar a year will eeeure it for any sub
scriber. It is not necessary to get up a cine to
have THE WEEKLY CX at this rate. Apt one
who sends a single dollar will get the paper for a
year.
