ElectiOn OF Gov. BrOwnlOw-A Lesson,
THB election of Governor Brownlow as United
States Senator from the State of Tennessee is
deserved recognition of his important SER
vices to the cause of the Union. and of his
great ability and success as the executive Off
Ger Of that State. That Tennessee has been
80 thoroughly reconstructed, and is now so
firmly based upon Republican principles, Is
due in higher degree to Governor Brownlow
than to any other man. He has been bold,
persistent, and unaagging in his efforts to
secure the thorough redemption of his State,
and the success he has achieved has shown
that he knew his work and how to perform it,
AS he does not enter upon the duties of his
new Office until the 4th of March, 1869, the
State will enjoy the advantage of his high ad
mipistrative abilities for some time to come
and especially during the exciting period o
the Presidential election of next year.
Results are always better than theories W.

Conscience Money Claimed.

Several weeks ago, Secretary Nc.
Culloch received, from an anonymous
source, a package, post-marked Ur.
baDa, Ohio, containing nineteen thous-
and dollars. The money was placed
TO tie credit of the conscience fnnd
Recently a letter was received from
a man in Wisconsin, claiming that he
sent the money TO be converted into
other securities, such as the Sooretrry
might think proper to send, and gave,
as his reason for forwarding no com
municatieh-or signature, that he was
very sick at the time, and not able to
write. The officers Of the Treasury
are Of opinion that the letter Is from
some party who saw ihe publication
that nineteen thousand dollars bad
been received, and thinks be can claim
the same.

A Terrible Death,

For some days past, workmcn hav e
been engaged in building a new rail
road bridge at Bridgeport,on thoNash-
vilel and Chattanooga Railroad. The
old bridge has been raised on trestle
work, and is still used by trains, the
new bridge being built directly under
the old. The side railing has been Ia.
ken off the old bridge, and there is
scarcely room for a man TO stand on
either side of the track, while in some
places there is not an inch Of room.
These workmen were engaged at one
end Of the old bridge, yesterday morn,
ing, at work, when a negro boy, EN-.
plOyed by them, who was about the
centre OF the bridge, started on a hand
a towards them. There being an
incline Of several feet between the cen.
tor and end OF the bridge, tho boy
found that he could not restrain the
impetus ofthe car, and shouted for the
mcn TO get out Of the way. Two of
them wereable to do 80, standing on
tip toe, barely escaping being thrown
off. The third man, however, named
George Clond, was at a point on the
bridge, where the track was the only
foot-hOld. He was unable to move and
called to the boy to stop It was too
late. The car rushed onward, knock.
ing theunfortunate man off the bridge.
He fell rixty feet, striking his head
and side against q rock. Assistance
was rendered to him as soon as pos
sible, by his comrades, and it was
found that he Was still living, al
though terribly bruised. Cloud lived
an hour and a half after his fall and
then died in terrible agony.

A resolution was introduced into the House
inStructing the Surgeon General to furnish

that property levied upon shall be valued by

would impair the obligation Of contracts,

Congressman nj Large.

A bill is pending the Legislature with a
strong likelihood of passage, to create the Of
fee of State Representative in Congress-
Tn: enfranchisement Of 10000 colored men
gives us a sufficient basis for an additional
Congressman. Gov. BrownloW win order
the election Immediately upon the passage Of
the bill. Several prominent gentlemen 10
the ranks Of the Republican party are spoken
Ct in cOnneXion with the race. We decline
TO express our preference before occasion re-
quires, but will support the nominee Of the
Republican party, if the claims of rival ran
dijstes are settled by a convention. The De-
mocracy will no doubt put either Ed. Cooper
or Emerson E~theridge in the field and, slim
ulated by the apparent success Of their
Northern allies, either these two gentlemen
who fell in the Waterloo defeat of Copper
Johnsonism last summer, will mako o bold
and energetic canvass. Glorious old Ten
nessee has put her eternal veto apOn COnser-
vatism, and there will be a month Of eonsec-
utive Sundays before any Congressional Dis"
trict within her limits is represented by a
johnson Democrat. But the leader Of the
enemy must be met by a irm, courageous
and worthy man, who will expose without
mercy the Vaccinations and vil!ainies Of the
Democratic party, and add anothe. unfading
laurel to the already Overburdened brow Of
Radical Republicanism.

Accident to Senator wade.

Through o private letter received
by a gentleman in this city We learn
that Senator Wade met with quite an
accident on last Friday, while return
ing to his home at Jefferson, Ohio, in
a buggy, from Ashtabula, Ohio. The
horse became frightened and unman-
ageable from some cause, upsetting
the buggy and throwing the Senator
upon some rocks, where he received
several severe and painful cuts on the
head, The letter states that, notwith-
standing the accident, the Senator ex-
pressed his determination to be present
on the opening Of Congress on the
2lst ints., but it is doubtful whether
he can attend to his duties by that
time.
