The BrownIow Army.

The New York Times says: "If any ex-
confederate State is to be subjected to mill
tary law, it certainly ought to be Tennessee
which, however, is the only ex-confederate
State exempted from military law.
"At the same time, Tennessee is to be
presently placed under sort of military
power-not military power as welded by the
National Government and administered by
the officers of the army, but as welded by
Parson BRowNLow and administered by his
appointees. BRowNLow, as Governor Of
Tennessee, has called out force of twenty
thousand men, to be in the service of the
State for three years, and to operate against
its enemies in the various counties.
1.-THE present civil administration Of Ten
nessee is certainly failure. So far as the
duties of State government consist in pre-
serving order, enforcing justice, and main
tanning law, there is no State in the South
whose government makes such show as
that of Tennessee. Georgia, Texas, and
Arkansas are quiet and orderly, and life and
property are secure, in comparison with
Tennessee"

The Conversational Reports.

Owing to political reasons, the members Of
the dominant party in the last Congress were
DESTROYS of doing away with the COMPRESSION
al Globe. By so doing, they hoped to with
draw patronage from certain friends Of The
PRESIDENT. Instead, however, Of shutting
down at once upon the concern, the third
conference committee on the Legislative
Appropriation bill, after two previous com
mittees had failed to come to an understand
ing agreed that two years notice should be
given to the Globe proprietors before the
congressional reports we're withdrawn.
Assuming that the Globe is thus TO be set
aside, what do our Solons propose to substi-
tute in its place They cannot expect the
newspapers to reproduce in full oil their
speeches and remarks from day to day.
Were they to do this, the daily press would
become scarcely more than q congressional
diary. The Globe is an expensive institu-
ton. Its reports are at times far from salts
factory, presenting not what has been said
by the members, but their speeches colored
TO suit them. Still, if there must be such q
paper, it is far better to have journal claim
ing to stand aloof from politics than mere
party sheet, established by the dominant
party.
At the same time the strictest economy
should be enforced in the preparation, publ
cation and distribution of the reports. The
growing spirit Of prodigality which prevails
at the Capitol is well illustrated by the pro-
ceedings of Congress seventy years ago in
this very matter ofreports. In 1896, men,
Der presented a petition from on Thomas
Lloyd who proposed to take shorthand re-
ports Of the proceedings of the House at the
rate of three cents per half sheet, or at a
salary of thousand dollars per session, and
to furnish each member with five copies Of
the proceedings printed and bound for an ad.
ditional sum of $40. On being referred to
a committee the offer was favorably reported
upon; the House, however after an animated
dabate rejected it, on the plea Of expense
The members thought they might with JUS
as much reason be furnished at public ex
pense, with five copies Of "Peter Porcupine,
or 1.-THE Rights Of Man" They were de
cidedly opposed to numbering the mails witt
trash of this kind. If the individual member!
wished to pay to see themselves in type, they
could do SO; but the House voted that il
would be wrong to draw money from the
public treasury for any such purpose. The
tons of congressional matter now weekly
ranked at the Capitol to members and mem
bers friends indicate that such ideas of ma
tional economy long since became obsolete

DEATH OF CHARLES r. RRo>yyE.

The intelligence Of the death Of CHARLES
+. Browne, famous as "Artemus Ward"
which was flashed through the cable yester-
day, will be received with profound grief by
his thousands Of warm personal friends, and
will be deplored by the public. Mr. BROWNE
was gentleman who won the esteem Of all
who formed his acquaintance esteem
which was founded upon the more sterling
qualities Of his mind and heart as we'll as
upon his shining wit and -humor To the
general public he may have appeared a
triter, or at least one who saw nothing in
life worth his attention but the salient pecu.
liarities Of men and things from which fun
could be made; but we, who have known him
well, saw stronger, broader, and deeper
character in him. Although his natural
humor was wont to shed its gay lights upon
every subject as sunlight gilds the rocks and
trees and rivers Of q landscape, yet strong
common sense, keen insight, and compre-
tensive grasp were apparent in his handling
Of practical and serious subjects.
The humorous side Of his nature made
itself apparent to the public so prominently
that he was drawn into public life as n lee
turer, achieving remarkable success, and his
dream Of life was to retire to the enjoyment
Of such repose d he might secure amid b
circle Of the choice spirits Of the land. But
his constitution was too slender to endure
the exactions Of constant lecturing and
writing for literary publications, and he has
sunk in his early prime, after having secured
arecognition Of his rare powers in the critical
circles of England. 5. . 600 I... .
We are reminded in the sad death Of
CHARLEY BROWNE in strange land, OF the
loss Of another congenial spirit who was one
Of his most intimate friends, DAN SErcHEII,
the comedian. They had farms in Maine,
located near each other, where they intended
to find healthful summer recreation in future
years. DAN went to California and reaped
rich harvest by his hstrionic efforts, and
then, instead Of retracing his steps home.
ward, he was tempted to go to New Zealand
and Australia. He sailed from San Fran
cisco January 81, 1866, in vessel that never
was heard from afterward It was a sad CO.
incidence that on his last appearance on the
stage in San Francisco he played his popular
part of Capt. Cutie, and every one remem-
bers his serio-comic utterance of "Poor
Walters drownded" Alas, poor DAN is
drowned; and thus two friends parted, one
westward to the antipodes and was lost at
sea, and the other to Europe, to shine like a
star for brief period and then go down like
candle in its socket, his light Pickering out
at Southampton beach. Peace to their
ashes, and the peace which passeth oil I'm,
Outstanding to their bright spirits, for they
lived to make men glad and injured no man
