There il trouble in the Radical camp
the mutterings of the storm that is gather
ing over them and which is destined to
sweep them from their usurped powers, are
no longer heard family and at intervals.
The cloud of public indignation "red with
uncommon wrath" has doomed up darkly
and portentously before their startled viz
sions, and its crashing bolts are falling thick
and fast about them. The party in Ten
nessee is splitting into factions and learn
ing TO hate each other with a. cordial hate.
There is confusion in the ranks, mutiny
in the camps and trouble on the waters.
The home Radicals find that they have
been sold opt TO the foreign element which
they welcomed with such warm embraces.
They find that ali the emoluments and fat
slices are bartered to or grabbed by politi-

MEN OF THE ROAD.
Rand of Thieves PractIefHg Oa "a
Railroad Train.

Railroad Train.
The Knoxville Free Press says that the
train which arrived there Thursday night,
on the East Tennessee and Virginia rail-
road, had among its many passengers a
hand Of thieves from New York en- route TO
New Orleans. At Bristol they relieved an
old gentleman of his watch, and, in fact, at
every station some one Of the passengers
complained of being robbed. Conductor
Lyle had the train employees on the alert,
and when not on duty they watched, and
by so doing many valuables we're saved.
The gang were divided in several divisions
three being IL the sleeping car and the
balance in the coaches. The plan was to
break the lamps and then rifle the sleep.
ing passengers, but in this they were
checked by the conductors, who never re-
moved their eyes from the gang. At Messy
creek, two went to the rear of the sleeping
car, with the object of breaking in the
door, but this was frustrated by the sleep
ing car conductor, Mr.. Wash Brosius, who
drew a revolver and ran for them. One
jumped off while the train was going at the
rate of twenty miles an hour, and the other
Mr. Brosius succeeded in capturing, and
marched him through the train with q re-
volver presented at his head. They did
not succeed in stealing anything from the
sleeping coach, ss they were too closely
watched. On their way to Knoxville they
kept up their nefarious practice of roboing
negroes and others on the train. Con-
ductor Lyle sent dispatch to the police
authorities there, but the thieves in some
way discovered it, and as the train neared
the city they jumped oH, afterwards getting
on the train for Chattanooga. These fel
lows will make the great city of New Or
leans quake ere long, as the latter city is
their destination.

THE THEATER.-The benefit Of Harry
Everett, the great favorite of Nashville,
drew large audience of ladies and gentle
men TO the Adelphi last night, who were
delighted with the very happy rendition
of Ruy Bias" and "Oliver Twist" In
the former Mr.. Gotthold bore himself to
the entire satisfaction of the most critical,
and the entire entertainment~was exceed
ingly we'll presented and received. This
is probably Mr.. Gotthold's last performance
in this city, and we bespeak for him in
other places good reception and a critical
hearing, for he can stand both.

a Desirable Holiday Present

There was time-and not very long ago
either-when Sewing Machines, with all
their acknowledged utility, were among
the Injuries of social life. The few pos
sessed them and expatiated upon their
wonderful charms with tireless loquacity
and dilated eyes, while the many looked
upon them as marvels of scientific and in
ventive genius far beyond their reach.
That time has passed by most unmistaka-
bly, and to-day the best beloved coadjus
tor of the presiding genius of every we'll
ordered household is the Sewing Machine.
But there are 40 many different Sewing
Machines" the people say, call putting
forth indisputable claims TO pre-eminent
excellencies, that we are in q quandary,
and don't know which to buy" 10 choose
finally in such matter is certainly i'm
portant, and we may be able to assist some
of those who are unable to decide for them
selves. At any rate, We will say frankly
that the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine
must be regarded as one of the most per
| feet, complete and desirable in the market

in its adaptabiIity for embroidery. The
| specimens of this branch of needle-work
are as wonderful as they are exquisite. The
steadiest and most skillful hand, inspired
to labor by the fondest motives and most
ingenious imagination, could not hope to
| execute such work, although it might
devote to it days and weeks of wearyinP
| toll. In addition to recommendations like
these, it must by no means he forgotten
that the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine
was the only one which received, at the
Paris Universal Exposition, the Cross o
the Legion of Honor, that most coveted O

TraIn'--Jadge Brien ~. the Police
etc, etc
On Saturday during the excitement of
the negro meeting at the Courthouse, when
the tilt occurred between Judge Brien and
Mr.. Cary, the former, it will be remem-
bered, was arrested by the police and held
to appear for trial. The case was called in
the Police Court on yesterday morning,
there being large number of spectators
present The Judge was arraigned for as.
sault and battery He appeared in per.
son and made his statement. He stated
that he was at the Courthouse on Saturday
and that he felt himself disgraced by GO
ing into the convention, or having any
thing 10 do with the concern. He said
that his principal object in going in was
to use his influence in quelling the dis
turbances which he learned were going on
there. While there he stated that Cary
uttered willful and malicious falsehoods,
and that he (Brien) had denounced him az
liar and q scoundrel. This he said Cary
took without resentment. Afterwards, the
Judge said, that he was making some re-
marks in regard TO the franchise law when
Cary said, That's not so :" he (Brienl
then aimed to strike him as nigh in the
mouth as he could. The police then in
terferred and in making the arrest handled
him very roughly and ungentlemanly
that he denounced il so at the time. He
said that negroes who were for him were
forced 10 keep silent and oyerawed by the
police, whom he charged with being in the
interests Of Cary. He stated that he
wanted nothing kept back he was not one
Of those men who was ashamed of his acts,
or wanted his name kept out of the papers.
He felt that he had done nothing bat what
was right Policeman Rogers, who was
engaged in making the arrest was ex-
amined He testified that a negro in the
Brien interest had said TO Brien when the
arrest was being made, "don't You go
with the id s-n of a b-h." Here
Brien asked, Did you hear that? An
swer. " / heard it,"
Who else heard it? Answer. Do not
know"
"Were you not arrested here once for
stealing a watch?7 Answer. No sir"
Was it on a charge of robbing train ?"
This seemed TO be the tenor Of the charge
which was not substantialed Officer
Skiles' testimony corroborated the evidence
of the preceding witness. Col. Stone re-
viewed the case and stated that in view of
the extraordinary excitement of the occa-
sion, and the appearance of a general out
break at the time of the arrest, he would
dismiss the accused without fine, though
the arrest by the officer he deemed justif-
| able.
