darkness My ammunition was not of a description
to protect me from such assalans if attacked. Mean
while they seemed perfectly unconscious of my prox
unity, and drank very peaceaby Of the water playing
a hundred clumsy antics, which the increasing OBJ.
security made dimy visible to me.
+ AT length, however, they retreated as they had
come; and as to my left the jungle appeared more
thin and low, began to look about for path. None
could find ; and at last | really deemed that the
best thing | could do would be to remain where l
until the first dense darkness of night receded
before the coming stars, and the moon, which knew
ere long must make its appearance. The front Of the
pagoda facing the tank was heap of ruins; but as
| carefully reconnotred it, found that to the rear,
where it looked upon the jungle, an archway and a
few pillars remained in toerable repair Here, them
seated myself on fragment of stone, and waited

sounds of night grew aud grew, until | could have
guessed the season by my ear alone, even had been
blind There was no wind but the whirling of
myriad insect beings aroused from day sleep, caused
a sort Of undersound akin to air. Mosquitoes from
the woods and the water fastened on my face, and
kept my handkerchief in constant play to drive them
off. Night birds, the owl that ever and anon hooted

startles the silent watcher of the night in India.
Kisses, too, were in my ears, and more than once
fancied that whole legion of snakes was approach,
ing me ; and then from the tank assembled concert
the harsh and many-toned voices of million frogs,
those enormous bufrogs whose discordant utterance
makes itself heard for more than mile in the silence
Of the night. Most welcome sound of all came at
last-the piercing tones of Kulera horn, and then
the best of tom,toms-for knew they must proceed
from Bassim. They were behind me in fact, my
path lay beyond the tank but more light was abso

THE SECRECY.

During the ballot last week for the choice of a
candidate to represent this county in the next Leg
islature, some gentlemen who sympathize and act
with the American party, but who had never attach
ed themselves to the order, felt decacy in offer
ing their votes. This subject was brought before
the county and precinct committees, at a meeting
held on Saturday, and resolutions were adopted de-
caratve of this view of the matter. Bhe following
are the resolutions:
Resolved, That all who sympathize and declare
their intention to act with the American party, shall
be and are considered members thereof.
Resolved, That all such entitled to vote with
the party in all nominations for office, and TO take
part in all proceedings upon the footing with
those who members of the American order.
Paris Citizen.
1t appears from the foregoing that Know Nothing
ism will be Know Nothingism though they may white
wash it. Notwithstanding they have declared on a
dozen different occasions, that they had abandoned
their secrecy, Oaths, ritual grips, passwords, &C., we
find that the subject has still to be brought before
their county and precinct committees and resolu-
lions passed authorizing it, before those who wish to
act with Them but have taken the oaths, feel
authorised to do so. They were authorized to take
part in all proceedings upon the footing with
those who are members of the order" What pro-
ceedings? And upon what footing do they refer to?
Verify, Know NOthingism is a cheat-a fy-trap-
and those who go into it get squeezed. But having
demned, it be that any respectable number Of
people who willing to play longer this game Of
''the spider and the hy?" We trust not.

CLERGYMAN APPROACHING MURDER,

A few days since resolutions were before the
Board of Aldermen in this city containing an ap-
prOva of the of the President and public au-
thOries in protecting the voters and preserving the
peace at the recent election when disturbed BY the
plug-ugies and their confederates. The Rev. F. S.
Evans, being one of the Board, moved series of
substitute resolutions published in the EveniRo Star
which excel any thing We have ever read for per-
versions fact and undeserved reproach and caum-
ny. The fifth of the series, as we understand it,
declares it to have been the duty of the officers
marines TO commit acts which the law would pro
nounce to be murder. 1t contains the following:
"5. That if the officer in command of the marines
did give order to fire, he ought to have been in
stanty cashiered for fragrant violation of his du-
ty; and if he did not give the order to fire. but his
men fired without ORDERS he is equally guilty for
not having his men under proper discipline and for
not having cut do'cn on the spot the insubordinate
soldier who presumed to fire unordered"
The reverend gentleman manifests the most con-
fused notions of the rights duties and responsible
ties of both civil and military officers No other civil
lized man would doubt that if the officers had "cut
down upon the spot " a soldier who had fred with
o. leave he would have been guilty of murder If
a soldier had fired he would have been entitled to
a trial before conviction and punishment. Whether
punishment at all, and whether under the civil or
military law, would depend upon surrounding cir
cumstances. In what code Mr.. Evans found the qu-
thOrity for the summary and ferocious mode of de-
spatching those supposed to be guilty we cannot
conjecture We trust that he does not use an edi-
ton of the Bible erroneous to contain scriptural
authority for his resolution. Under his declaration
of official duty, if a whole regiment of men, even
in elfdefence, had fired without ORDERS the officers
would have been bound to to their men and cut
them down upon the spot" So great barbarism
is not authorised by even the war code of any ma
ton, and much less by any religious one. Does the
code of the know-nothing lodge-room TO which Mr.
Evans belongs contain the principles which he has
avowed? Does he pray God that officers, under the
circumstances stated in his resolution, may be i'm
PEELED 8" to cut down upon the spot insurbordinate
soldiers without the privilege of trial time for
repentance? Would christian congregation listen
to such a prayer? That the reverend gentleman
acted out what the know nothing lodge had advised
or more likely required him to do in this matter we
do not doubt One thing seems to be pretty clear,
that the man who contrived this resolution if not
him who offered it, may be fairly deemed a know
nothing in the natural way, and little something
else Wash. Union.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE WEST.

The most cheering intelligence, through various
sources, has reached from the Western District.
The Memphis Appeal, referring to the manner in
which thecOntest is being conducted by Atkins and
Avery, says:
We say to our friends throughout the State, that
if the champions of our cause are only doing half
as well elsewhere, as in West Tennessee, that a
Waterloo defeat of political opponents is newt
able. Mark what We say that the Ninth and Tenth
Congressional Districts to castther votes for
the democracy, If there is any trust to be placed in
the signs of the times Here will be a gain of two
members in West Tennessee alone. We have under
taken the work here and the people will carry out
the pledge.
correspondent of the Appeal, giving an account
Of discussion between Atkins and Etheridge SAYS:
Atkins told Mr.. E. that if he was not a Black Re.
publican (which he did not belieyel that he had ac-
ted and voted with that party and against the South
He impeached his judgment, if not his motives.
Etheridge feels whipped now. He talks like it
and acts like it. He said he despised the sympathy
ofany man. He had lived long enough to the
folly ofambition, and should retire sskf-apProUed.

Mr. Buchanan has declared that it is the impera-
tive duty of the government TO secure the right Of
voting TO every resident male Hh1bttant which may
include Indians and negroes as well aliens.-Pa-
trIot
Gen ZolIicofer declared, a member of the leg
islature in 1885, ,see Senate Journal, last para
graph of page 49, that the right of voting and
every thing that pertains to the formation OF con-
stitution preparatory to an application for admIs-
sion into the Union as State, was right which he
recognised as belonging to 'ths inhabitants of Ter
ritory." Will the Patriot inform us if, upon the
same principle of reasoning this does not include
women and children as well Indians, negroes and
liens? viii the Patriot answer!

SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.


This body, which Leld its session at Savannah in
December last, having designated Knoxville and the
10th of August as its next place and time for con-
vening, the authorities and citizens of that place
have published card extending the Inequalities of
their city to the delegates and visitors who may
choose to be present on that occasion.
They furthermore suggest to the Governors of the
Southern States Mayors of cities, towns, &c, the
pr5priety OF appointing delegates the Convention
at as early a day as practicable, in order that the
Committee may be duly furnished with their names.
What will the city fathers OF Nashville do? They
have refused, heretofore, send delegates to these
Conventions because they called Southern, 4"
andm ghttend TO disunion. Fire eating was regarded
like ordinary epidemics, contagious. Have they got
over their alarm? To be consistent they should re-
fuse to send delegates to Knoxville. We shall see
what they will do.

kar Gov. Jones refuses to join in the revival of
the old question of distribution, because it is who'll
ly impracticabe now. The Banner criticisng this
position, says:
He yields the principle for which he has battled
for lifetime, not because it is erroneous, but be-
the party in power, of which he is outside
member is opposed to it. This is Gov. James C..
Jonesl
The other day, when we charged Mr.. Bell with
having voted against distribution in 1885, the Pa
triOt replied to us:
In 1850, when Mr.. Bell voted against the propo-
stiOn referred to- there was no probability that it
would become a law. There majority opposed
to it.
Wonder what the Banner will say to this? Wilt
not excaim, with its hands up, "snd this is Senator
John Bell"
Was there ever such set of men as compose this
know nothing party!
