MADE A CoMMENCEMENr.--Our enterprising
ftllow-towrsnau, Vim. herman, 1T the corner,
commenced the removal of his old store house. on
Wednesday last, preparatory TO the erection ola
fine brick building, twcnty-luur by f5rty-tour
feet. This building is intended MS II sore house,
and Will stand On the same site Of the old, except
only that it vii! cover much larger space,
being more than twice the size Of the present
building. This increase in size has been rendered
necessary by the greatly increasing business of
Mr.. Herman. No Improvement which has been
made in the town for n long time, will add more
to its appearance than this one. We0re glad 10
see the spiri. of improvement pressing forward
for to the extent hat any part of the town irl-
proves, the whole property of the place improves.
The carpenters work is done by Joseph Gorrell;
builder.

The TEACHER5 INSTITUTES During this week
the Teachers Institute has been in session at the
Court House, in this place, and closed on Thurs
day. The exercises have been very enter
tainng and instructive, and cannot fail to be of
infinite advantage to those engaged in teaching,
and for whose bt neft, we believe, the plan has
beeu adopted Our engagements have prevented
MS from anything like regular attendance upon
me sessions, but what little time we have been
able 10 be present has satisfied us that much
benefit mny be derived from listening to the pro-
ceediugs. During the week number of able
and instructive lectures have been delivered by
Mr.. Van Bokkelen, the State Superintendent Of
Public Schools, and the Rev. Thomas S. c.
Smith, Superintendent OF this county, as also
Professor Newell, and the Rev. John McKelway,
Principal Of the Bel Air Academy. The various
teachers of the county have generally attended,
and have taken much interest in the proceed
ings, and many Of them have given strong proofs
Of their proficiency us teachers aud all OF them,
we believe, have given creditabe proofs Of their
future usefulness as instructors We cannot close
! this short notice, without bearing testimony to
the efficiency, energy and ability with which the
Rev. Thomas s. 9. Smith has perforated his du,i )
as County Superintendent, since he has held the
position.

THE FAIR AT ABINGDON. fair for the ben
eft of St. Francis Church, hear Abingdon,
which commenced on Monday last, closed yester-
day, as We areintoymcd. The attendance during
the continuance Of the fair, was good, notwth-
standing the very unttyorable state Of the wea-
ther. The receipts, we understand, are fully up
to the expectation Of those having in charge this
praseworthy object and too much credit canuo
be awarded the Rev. Mr.. OConnor and those
who have rendered such efficient services under
his supervision. On Wednesday evening Il con-
cert of instrumental and vocal music took place.
The house was crowded with an attentive and
apprecatiye audience, and we deem it not worth
our while to speak of the superiority Of the mu-
sic, when We inform our reader; that tue princi-
pal performers were the Misses Fulton, of this
place, Miss, Fulton, Of Philadelphia, and Dr..
Kerr, Of Baltimore city.

The election is over in Tennessee, and as eve
ny intelligent person in the land expected, has
resulted in the choice of BrownIow, for Govern
or. This under the cir ,umstances, could not he
otherwise, almost the entire s. ite population Of
Tennessee having been distrnnchised Of Course for
no other purpose than to give the State to the
Republicans. So thoroughly was this outrage
carried out, that it is said that ia some Of the
counties Of the State, there have not been
white meu enough registered to Gil the county
Offices, aud yet this is called an election. The
vote pollcd in lSG0 was las, 900, and then ouly
whites voed now the number of registered
voters in the State amounts 10 ITO, 600, falling
$1,000 votes short Of the vote of lSG0-nptwith-
standing that the negroes are registered So that
it will be seen that with the whites and blacks
combined the registered vote of the State is 3d.
600 less than the white vote ofseven years ago.
The New York Herald says, 'lhat at Knoxville
and other points, the negroes from The Suburbs
were marched up TO the polls in gangs by mu-
iatto oyerseers. and kept in close charge until
they had voted the right ticket". The same
differences which divide parties in Maryland,
and generally throughout the States, did not di-
vide the Radicals and Conservatives of Tennes-
see, their difference mainly consisted in favoring
and opposing the right OF white men to VOTE
AS for instance the Conservatives contendcd for
universal suffrage, while the Radical wing of
the Republican party opposed the right Of any
white man to vote whom it suited their purpose
TO denominate rebel. Neither party denied the
negro the right to vote, but the Conservatives
commended that the white men should vote also.
Under these circumstances IL docs not seem to us
that it would be very difficult 10 elect even SO
miserable a creature as Brownlow TO the gov
ernorship. From tie meagre vote registered in
the State, some idea may be formed of the sweep.
ing Acknowledgement which has takeN place
there In precincts or districts where the vote
did not suit the taste Of Bruwilow and his
followers, it was, we believe, stricken out; aud
20 it twas just as Well for the Republicans in va
ricuS sections Vt tho country, who have fired
guns in honor Of the Brownlow victory, to have
done so six months ago. as to have waited till the
farce Wis nver.

Won't REsnGN.--It appears that President
Johnson has at last invited Mr.. Stanton TO re-
sign his position in the Cabinet, rs Secretary Of
War, and in reply, Mr.. Stanton says that spub.
lie interest, which alone has induced him to re.
mair, constrains him 10 continue in the Cabinet
until the meeting of Congress" 1t would be diff
cult, We think, to discover the npublic inter-
est which would require the services of Stanton
at the head OF my government. We THOUGHT
that ae necessity for keeping the military bas-
tiles filled with Innocent people had ceased TO
exist, and that military trials were about over,
according TO the diclum of the Supreme Court
and as Stanton was never any other use to the
nation that we ever heard of, We had supposed
that the "public interest" as well rs indiyilml
inte.cst, required his rc,iracy long ago. but il is
said that drowning men catch at straws," and
as Stanton certainly does not expect the Ameri-
gan people ever to tolerate or countenance his ap
poinIment to any such position again, he desires
10 hold TO what he has as long as he can.
