A slight Change Of IOpinion.

In 1856 thatsweet lamb, Rev. Brownlow,
wrote as follows:
"I assert, without fear of successful con-
tradiction, that slavery only could have
worked that improvement, and tnat the pre-
servation Of the relation Of master and slave
is essential to the continued acd future well
fare of the negro race of the South. 1 as
sert that American slavery is a blessing; q
blessing to the non-slaveholder Of the South,
blessing to the civilized white race in
general, and blessing to the negro slaves
in particular"
In 1865 the same illustrioas patriot
wrote:
"The history Of the past shows to every
candid mind that slavery has conferred no
benefits upon Tennessee. 1t has been a
stumbling block in the way of ner ad vance
ment. Her people have felt the effect of
its degrading influence, and her growth
and prosperity have been retarded by the
exclusion from her borders Of both capital
and educated labor"
A man has perfect right to change his
opinion; but we submit whether il is ex-
acuy right for HIM TO attack ln malignant
manner and bitter spirit those who enter
tain the views he used to hold, and whom
he has, perhaps. himself converted to those
sentiments. Brownlow is enc Of those
despicable characters who would not only
persecute those who did not agree with him
in opinion, but he would cruelty those who
did not change with him in all his eccen-
tricities and vagaries. In this he is a pret-
ty fair type Of his party, North and South.
As honest Hibernian, trundling along
handcart containing all his valuablss, was
accosted thus: ''Well, Patrick, you are
moving again, 1 see?" Faith. am,"
he replied. 'for the times are 50 hard it's
dale cheaper birirg handcsrts than pay
iag Ti1ts'

Remedy for the Small Pox.

A gentleman of veracity, one who has
had smallpox in his family, and in his
neighborhOod has placed in our possession
for publication, the following recipe for the
cure of smallpox, which, he assures US has
been successfully used in several cases that
have come under his observation:
Make a tea from the common elder root
bark; and also tea from the sasafras bark,
let them cool, and pour equal quantities into
a jug, to a gallon of which add from one
quart to three pints good whisky. Drink
frequently. but not more than a small wine
glass full at one time.-Edggtfsld Adrertiser.

it. It is entirely of ivory from keel to top

art.

NEW York, Jan. 6.-The Commercial
says: Intelligence brought by the Mora
Wan has comparatively little effect on the
market. The decline in gold during the
current week has made difference ia the
value of 5-20s equal to an advance of 81
so there is now little difference between
their value at London and New York. The
price of the gold interest bonds is depressed
by the persistent expectation that a new
hcOnvertible loan will be shortly put upon
themarket. Semi-official assurances to the
contrary notwithstanding, the apprehen-
sion ofsuch a policy has in some quarters
depreciating effect on $40 bonds. Gold
interest bonds generally retained yester-
Interpretations, except5-2O's of 1852 which
rose y, and 6's of 1881, which were Il low
ler. Seven-thirties are quiet at the closing
prices. Gold considerably depressed. There
is considerable inquiry this morning for
gold to fill short contracts, but the premium
does not show any consequent advance,
which shows the inherent value of the mar-
ket. The payments of gold interest at the
treasury average about $SO0,00O day.
The amount paid during the last four days
is S3,l5l,g43. a.7 veg Fllf
The shipment Of specie was 1920, ,S34 per
Safrona, and $50, 1853 per City of Washing

inauguration of Gov. Bullock, OF
Massachusetts.

New YORK, Jan. GA Boston dispatch
says Gov. Bullock was inaugurated at noon
to-day. In his inaugural he congratulates
the Legislature that they are assembled for
organization under auspices of national
peace, and refers to pacitics of the war, and
its debts and burdens bequeathed, but the
question of permanent and consolidated
Republic for North. America has been solv-
ed, and the freedom of all races secured by
arms and organic laws. The debt of the
State amounts to $23, 122S72.
Referring to Western trade, the Govern
or says: There can be no doubt that new
facilities and new means for transportation
between the West and East are now abso-
lutely needed. Our lines of property and
growth are the parallels OF latitude which
connect with the young and rich empire of
the mine and stocked product lying around
the lakes, and still beyond. The people of
Massachusetts must have more thorough
fare through which the currents of trade
and life may pass to and fro, tireless and
ceaseless, between the Atlantic and the
national graneries. Let lis avoid the day in
which the commonwealth shall become
chiefly school house for the west and
homestead over which time shall leave ST.
lently and too soon the marks of dilapida-
ton. Any policy which is not broad
enough to secure to us New England haV-
ing proper share in the benefits of this
new opening era of the West, be assured,
will not receive the approval of the next
generation.

Gen.l s,vrsnsE nind ma renIaa..

New YORK, Jan. 7.--At llis late inter-
view with the Fenian Convention, General
sweeney states that months ago he advised
and urged Col. O'Mahony TO open corres-
pondenee with Gen. Phil. Sheridan, for the
purpose of placing him at the head of the
Fenian army, offering himself TO take any
subordinate position under Sheridan, pro-
vided the latter would accept the leader
ship. General Sweeney has issued card
to the brotherhood, to the effect that he
declined the first invitation q. to attend
the Fenian Congress, not recognizing
Its legality and fearing insult and mis-.
representation. On second Invitation,
with assurancethat his presence might do
much to restore peace and harmony, he
waived his objections. He says his appre-
hensions were not unfounded. Though his
arrival was greeted with apparent warmth,
his efforts at conciliation were met by GER
tain PARTIES with insult and Outrage, and
denounced as not, a Fenian because the Cir,
Gle of which he is a member decided, as a
compliment, that no pledge should be re-
CURED of him, though he signified his will
ingness to take it.. He says there is an ele-
ment of discord, composed of members
from Manhattan District, have done and
Will do anything to stifle truth and pre-
vent union, even at the price of Ireland's
ruin.

Counterfeit Cigar Box Stamps.

New York, Jan. 17.-An extensive fraud
upon the Internal Revenue Department
66y the issue of large quantities OF counter
felt cigar box stamps has just been brought
to light by the authorities IF this city.
ihree persons, named John Fuch. Charles
Metzchirling and a printer named Bloom
eke, have been arrested. The latter adj
mltted he had printed about 250O of the
stamps and destroyed the plate, but it was
afterwards found, and its engraver has
been apprehended. Bloomeke and MITCH
irling have been committed to the county
iail by United States Commissioner Osborn,
and Fuch has been admitted to bail. 1t is
supposed that no less than 200 of the plates
have been manufactured and millions of
the stamps printed, and that the fraud will
amount to 100000. The counterfeit stamp
is about One-eighth of an inch wider than
genuine one, and the paper on which it
is printed is half an inch longer.
