SAN Francisco, Aug. IL Pm.

U. S. SENATOR PATTBRsoN.-Tennes-
see is now fully represented In the Thirty
Ninth Congress by faithful opponents OF
her loyal element. Reconstruction in
that State has, from the outset, proceeded
upon the basis Of radical Unionism. An
drew johnson, when Military Governor,
initiated the restoration movement on that
basis. The two United States Senators
who were lately admitted to seats were
elected by the Legislature so long ago as
May, 1866.
David T. Patterson, who 10 q son-in-
law of President johnson, was chosen for
the short term, and Joseph 8. Fowler for
the long term. Patterson was born in
Greene county, Tennessee, Of poor parents,
in 1918. His boyhood was laborious,
and he had no educational advantages.
He worked arst upon q farm, then in a
paper mill, and finally at various mechan-
ical ayocations till his majority, picking
up q little knowledge at a night school.
He afterwards read law, and became q
successful practitioner. In l849 he was
defeated before the Legislature as q candi-
date for Judge Of the First District Court
of Tennessee. In 1852, after the choice
of Judges had been given to the people,
he was elected to the same position by o
handsome majority. With this exception
he never sought office before the civil war,
but established nevertheless q wide repu-
ta,ion for ability. In politics he was a
liberal Democrat, sympathizing with the
common people and batting plantation
aristocracy. For openly opposing seces-
sion he was exiled BY order Of the rebel
Secretary Benjamin, and was a refugee
from his State until the occupation of
East Tennessee BY the Union army. He
Is reputed to be a warm supporter Of the
Presidents policy Of reconstruction.-S.

cASNor tell you to desert the Repub-
lican party; I know nowhere else for you
to 20. But my advice is this Open
your eyes wide. Understand that your
leaders neither wish nor expect the ratiA-
cation OF this proposal. Understand be-
iorehand that they only put it as a stalk
ins-horse to cover their real design; that
the only men in the party whose opinions
are worth mentioning rely upon going
into Congress unfettered by it, with the
hope Of welding such q strength as will
checkmate the President with his own
weapons, and keep the United States still
in the hands of the army. When you go
up and down, when you attend your cau-
eusses, when you speak at town meetings,
remember that the real Republican battle
cry is: mo rebel States readmitted with
out the ballot, land and education for
every loyal man in it," oNo rebel State

and the following singular episode:
Every spare movement Of Craven's time
was employed in making collections Of
insects, fishes, herbs, and geological
specimens or other curiosities for his own
or the Smithsonian Museum. Once, when
. very s~coundrelly deserter, convicted Of
going over to the enemy and other crimes
too abominable to be mentioned, was
"shot TO death with musketry," in pursu-
ance Of his sentence, DR.. Craven obtained
the privilege Of skinning him and tanning
his hide-the skin itself, tattooed all over
while the fellow was a sailor, with pictures
too b~lasphemously and obscenely horrible
for contemplation, being q dreadful COM
mentary on the multiform crimes and
ofenses Of which the soul therein dwelling
had been greedily guilty. On his breast
was our Savior suspended on the cross,
tattooed in various colors. and on each
side Of IL men and women-and even
worse than this-in every conceivable at
titude Of public shame. Il was, also, l

tion-oyer all the rest Of his body; and
certainly such q hide, with the eighteen
