Death of Cave Johnson

The Hon. Cave Johnson died in
GAINESVILLE, on Friday, 2Srd ult.
He was born in 1893. In 1929
he was sent to Congress, where he
remained fourteen years. In
lS45 he was appointed Postmaster
General by President Polk, and
held the position until 1S49. In
1858 he was appointed. by Gov
ernor, (now President) Johnson,
President of the Bank of Tennes-
see, and held the position for four
years. In February, 1861, he
was elected a member of the Con-
vention to consider the relations
of Tennessee to the Union-a
body, however, which did not as
semble. In 1866, he was elected
to the State Senate; but was re-
fused his seat, and retired to his
home, bowed with age and infrm-
ity, and there died.

the various States of the Union
to New Orleans, SO that the ope
rator at the former place convers
ed freely and rapidly with the lat

liar atmospheric conditions favor
able to such a direct Geographic
connection, and the conversation
was listened to with great interest
by the numerous intervening sta
tons. The following are the mes
sages:
Sydney to New Orleans-"You

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.-The
ladies of Tullahoma have succeed
ed in raising a sufficient fund to
enclose the large Grave Yard in
which those Confederate soldiers
are buried, who died there while
Bragg held that country. The
ground has been cleaned off and a
neat fence is now around it. The
ladies of Tullahoma and vicinity
wish to yet raise money to place
plain head and foot boards to all
the graves of those whose remains
lie buried in their midst, who died
away from friends and kindred,
and who have no government to
pay honor or respect to their sleep
ing dust.

The way the "loyar' do up the
registration of voters in Missouri
is truly refreshing, and gives all
the assurance that a Radical could
wish of keeping the country at a
blood-heat of disquietude. The
Journal, published in Pike county,
gives the following as a specimen
of how the thing is done: Mr..
Bernard, strong Union man, was
disfranchised for expressing sym
pathy for some poor relatives in
Virginia, suffering in consequence
of the rebellion. Hugh Duffy,
disfranchised on the evidence of a
man who testified sit was his opin-
ion Duffy was disloyal," yet could
recall neither act nor expression
of disloyal nature. Charles M.
Shaffner, rejected, was one of the
first Union men in Missouri;
among those who applied to Lyon
for arms to sustain the Union
cause.

LEGIsLATIvE.-In the Senate,
Friday, Both, Mr. Trimble intro
duced a bill providing that all per-
sons twents'-one years Of age, resi-
dents six months in the county
and twelve months in the State,
or who shall declare the intention
to become citizens, shall have a
right to vote in all elections; and
providing further, that no person
shall be allowed to vote after July
18th, 1875, who cannot read and
write, "Persons" ia a comprehen-
sive term, and may be construed
to include adults of all colors and
sexes. Whatever may be the
meaning Of this term intended by
its author, his scheme looks to a
very considerable extension of the
franchise privilege.

Do You WANT A PosT OFFICE

Do You WANT A Posi- OFFICE
I-One-half of the people of Ten
nessee will answer this question
affirmatively. The way to get il
is to address a memorial to the
Postmaster General, stating the
grounds upon which you want it,
and recommend some neighbor,
aoho can take the oath, as q suitable
person for the office of Postmas-
ter; and then send the application
to your member of Congress, and
request him to lay it before the
Postmaster General. This will
give every community a Post Of

The Emperor of Brazil has appointed a
"Board of Health" to investigate and decide
what proprietary remedies should be admitted
into the country and what excluded. After
some months session they have reported con-
demning them all except DIR. ]. c. Ayers s.
Co.'S preparations. Three of those they recon-
mended the Emperor to admit for the benefit Of
the public health, while they hold the fourth,
Cherry Pectoral, under advisement for further
information respecting one of its ingredients
morphine, which, SO extensively employed and
so highly esteemed as remedy in this country,
is scarcely known in that OF all the other
medicines before them, the Imperial ccmmis-
sion say, no one of them merits any favor what
ever, or protection from this Government, as
they contain nothing new nor any specific vir-
tues not fully known and used by our own ply
sicians. The Imperial Government has aecor-
dinghy prohibited them all from admission
through the custom house, except the remedies
of our distinguished eountrymen above mem
tioned-a discrimination by their learned men,
very like that to which experience has led the
American people, Boston Herald.

Propositions from the
South.

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
The New York World, referring
to the position of the Chicago
Times in favor of negro suffrage,
urges the Southern people-in
view of the failure of the Constitu-
tional Amendment in its present
shape-to present some PROPOSE
ton of their own, as a way out of
the present difficulty.
The Cleveland Plaindealer says:
Under ordinary circumstances the
suggestion might be wise; but the
temper of the majority party in
the North is such that any propo-
sition that could be thought of,
would at present be prejudiced by
its emanating from the South. If
the Southern people were to pro-
pose even to grant negro suffrage,
the chances are that the Radicals
would speedily imagine that there
was a "cat in the meal tub" and re-
iect it. What is wanted in the
North, is some guarantee that the
Southern vote shall not interfere
with Republicans holding public
offices and controlling public mon
ley.

An Editor who knew his
Rights.

Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher,
who is now Secretary of Montana
Territory, feeling aggrieved at
some comments upon his official
conduct that appeared in the col
umns of the Montana Post, sent a
challenge to the editor, Captain
Henry A. Blake, formerly of the
18th Massachusetts regiment. In
reply to the challenge, Capt. Blake,
who refuses to fight, stigmatizes
duelling as murder, and rejoices
that during his long military life
he never heard or witnessed a duel
in the Federal army. While feel
ing no enmity to Meagher, he con-
siders it his right and duty, and
and will continue to criticise the
actions of public men. The Cap
tain concludes thus:
"You may publish me as a cow
ard, but my scars of which this in
clement storm remind me, will pro-
claim that the charge is false
Two warrants and three commits
sions, which were received by me
during the late rebellion for my
services in twenty-0e battles and
skirmishes, will completely refute
the statement. In conclusion,
will assert that your letter and
conduct do not intimidate me in
any degree. While | occupy my
post as editor, your official acts
will be examined, and shall have
no hesitation in expressing my
views regarding them"

Governor Worth, of North Car.
olina, makes the following point
against the adoption of the pro.
posed Radical amendment to the
Constitution. He says:
sit is remarkable that this pro-
posed amendment contemplates
under one article to change the
Constitution in eight particulars,
some of them altogether incongru-
Gus, to be ratified as a aohole or re-
jected as a sohole. We are not
allowed to ratify such of them as
we approve, and reject those we
disapprove. This is the first at
tempt to introduce the vice of om-
nibus legislation into the grave mat
ter of changing the fundamental
law of the land"
There is none who can deny
that this is an excellent ground of
objection, and of itself suffices to
warrant q rejection of the whole
dose.

1t is stated that two suits have
been commenced in the Supreme
Court in New York against Gen.
Butler, i'll which John III. Lester,
a resident of New Orleans, charges
him with false imprisonment, the
damages being laid at 500, 900,
and with fraudulent conversion of
property, the damages laid at $780,
900. Lester, it may be remem-
bered, received a free pass from
Secretary Stanton to bring his
family from the South to the
North during the late war, but
Butler disregarded the permit and
imprisoned him.
