Brownlow complains that no
Union man could be elected in this

The Mobile Nationalist, a jour-
nal owned and edited by negroes,
has correspondent at New Or
leans who is not in love with the
Freedmen's Bureau. He says:
GA thousand times better would
it be for the colored man were it
abolished, for, instead of being a
safeguard fer the freedmen, it is a
place in which freedmen's rights
are bartered away; it serves only
to engender bitterness and hatred
in the hearts of the very people
with whom we expect to live, die
and be buried"

Amean Trick.

A German from some twenty miles in the
country, WHO could not speak Al word Of
English, rame to the city on Friday beYen-
ing with his yroS, and a wagon load ofap-
Piles to sell in market the next morning,
Being chilled by their long ride, he and Ills
wife Went into a grocery in the south part
of the city to warm, leaving the horse,
with the wagon of apples, hitched toga post.
While the owner and his wife were in the
grocery, some graceless scamps unhitched
the horse and drove off with the wagon
and the apples. Great was the consteriia-
tion of the countryman and his wife when
they found their property gone. Search
was made, but it could not be found. But
on Saturday morning, the horse and wag-
on, minus few apples, were found safely
fastened in fence corner, near the city, on
the Groyeport road. 1t was mean trick,
and it is pity that those who perpetrated
it, could not have been ferreted out and
duly punished.

The Xenia FizzIe.

The Radicals of the west end of this Con.
gressional District had made arrangements
to hold great two days meeting at Xenia
on Wednesday and Thursday of last week
They had invited the soldiers, far and near,
promising them that 1t should be a real sol
dlers' reunion. Their immense posters
were sent all over the country, and put up
everywhere; and the affair was to be the
big thing of the campaign. The Radicals,
including the negroes, promised to throw
open their houses to entertain the great
multitude that was expected, free of charge.
Wednesday came, but nobody came to the
reunion" except the speakers-Gen-
eral GARFIELD, Colonel GIVEN, and SAM
UEL SHELLABARGER-whO were promptly
on hand. Thursday also came, but the i'm
mense multitude was not therel 1t was,
however, deemed best to Ego through the
motions" and the speakers proceeded to
address about two hundred people, ma
jority Of whom were Blacks. After the
Radical speakers had concluded, it was
proposed by some friends of the Admins
tration, that General EWING or General
McGROARTY be permitted to speak-both
of whom were there, and both of whom
had been brave, efficient, and gallant Off
GERS in the Union army, in putting down
the Rebellion. But the professed friends
of free speech" in that sweet-scented town,
yelled down both these brave officers, and
refused to allow either of them to make a
speech.

Coroner,s Innnest-

Two men, Joseph Taylor and Elisha Sun
derland, who reside about six miles from
the city, on coming to town about six
o'clock on Saturday morning, on the track
of the Columbus and Cleveland railroad,
discovered, about three miles from the city
the dead body. of a man lying by the side Of
the track. The head was between two ties
and close to the iron rail, the body extend
ing outward and turned partly on one side
The skull on the back and side of the head
was broken or crushed in, from which the
blood was freely oozing. There was nc
other apparent injury upon the body.
An old hat or cap torn and cut open on
the side and back part, was lying partly
under the head of the deceased. He had
on an old dark overcoat of thick cloth, a
pair of new checked pants, new flannel
shirt, but no vest.
d The boly was removed to the depot in
this city, where, on Saturday forenoon, an
inquest was held over it by Coroner Elias
Gaver. In one of the pockets of the de-
ceased were found knife and comb and a
small worn-out wallet or portmonnaie,
containing two medical prescriptions, the
card of a clothing store in this city, two
soldiers discharges, but no money.
One of the discharges was that of Ed
ward Lowry, corporal Company g, Cap
tain Carr, 10th o. v. l., enlisted August
10, 1862, discharged July IL, 1865 at Column
bus, Ohio, and described as born in Beaver
county, Pa, as SO years of age, five feet and
ten inches high, dark complexion, grey
eyes, red hair, and by occupation farmer.
From an Endorsement on the discharge it
appears that the soldier was discharged at
Tripler hospital, near this city. 1000
The other discharge found on the body
of the deceased, was that of George North,
private in Company G., Capt. NJ. F. Weeks,
I'd Regiment of Cavalry, Ohio Veteran
Volunteers, who was enlisted February "a,
1865; discharged Sept. II, 1865, at Benton
Barracks, Missouri, and described as born
in Muskingum county, Ohio, 81 years of
age, five feet and eleven inches high, dark
complexion, hazel eyes, dark hair, and by
occupation farmer.
OF the descriptions in the two discharges,
the one in the latter, that of George, or
George w. North, though not entirely sat
isfactory, came nearer, in the opinion of the
inquest, to an Identification of the deceased
than the description in the discharge of
Edward Lowry. The verdict of the inquest
was. that the deceased came TO his death by
being accidentally struck on the head by
passing railroad train, but how, or under
what circumstances, it was impossible for
the jury, from the testimony before them,
to decide. The body was taken care of by
Coroner Gaver, and decently inferred in
what is known as the, "East Burying
Ground.n

Death of Colonel Thomas y. Cox,
OF ZumeavIIle.

ON AumCNNuhhGe
We are panied to learn that intelligence
has been received of the sudden demise OF
Col. Thomas j. Cox, at Nashville, Ten
nessee on Monday evening, Sept. 18TH
He died of cholera after very short ILL
ness. A
Colonel Cox served nearly all through
the war, and often In most perilous emer-
gencies, especially In and about Nashville,
where he took command of brigade in
defense of that city. He was kept in the
position of Assistant Quartermaster long
after he declared his wish to retire, because
of his strict probity of character. For his
economy In saving millions for the Govern
ment in the administration of his office,
and his uniform vigilance and attention,
his superior, General MEIGs, insisted on his
remaining at his post, to close up the
enormous business there. He had been
brevetted Lieutenant Colonel for his ser
vices, and received his commission in time
to feel aud know that they were not unap-
tpreciated. H. a...t ~ 49,.
= Col. Cox was a son Of Mr.. e. T. Cox, OF
Zanesville, and brother of Hon. SAMUEL s.
Cox, now OfNew York City, This sudden
death from cholera, after passing through
all the perils incident to tho war, is pecul-
iarly sad. He leaves wife and family OF
children, and an unstained name, which is
far richer legacy to them, than the accu-
mutations that too often were the aim OF
some who served in the war. We tender
to his bereaved family and kindred and
friends our sorrowing sympathy and con-
dolence.
We find the following in the Zanesville
Courier of Tuesday, September 18th:
DEATH OF Col. THOMAS j. Cox.-The sad
news OF the death of Col. Thomas j, Cox,
at Nashville, Tennessee, by cholera, yester-
day evening, was received in this city by
the friends ofthe deceased at an early hour
this morning. The intelligence that he was
suffering from a violent attack of cholera
was communicated to his friends here by a
dispatch from Nashville during the early
part of yesterday afternoon. The dispatch
was Immediately forwarded from here by
relatives to his wife, at their residence
near Mt. Sterling, in this county, and
snO az OllCc ICpdlICu lcTt lOT IHc puT-
pose of taking the evening train for
Cincinnati and Nashville, but was deferred
by receiving about five o'clock yesterday
evening a second dispatch announcing his
improvement, and that favorable change
had taken place in the symptoms of the
disease. At an early hour this morning a
third dispatch was received here, announce
ing that his death had occurred at five
o'clock yesterday evening.
This will be indeed sad news to his rela-
tives and many friends in this county and
elsewhere. Col. Cox was favorably and
generally known, had hosts of warm per-
sonal friends who will deeply sympathize
with his family and relatives in this sad
and sudden bereavement. He had during
the greater portion of the rebellion been in
charge of the commissary department at
Nashville, the duties of which position had
been ably and efficiently performed by
him, .H -
