Is IT JUST I

The busy.bodies who have been so
disturbed by the ten thousand stand oil
arms supplied to the Fighting Parson in
virtue of a Joint resolution of Congress,
have at last got their answer. we are
told that Andy Johnson, after taxing
the question into careful consideration
has decided not to interfere in the mat
ter Any nincompoop might have ex-
nected as much. When johnson fur.
nished the arms he knew as well as any
citizen of Tennessee exactly what pur..
nose Brownlow would turn them to, and
ANDY is not the man to retrace his steps,
especially when he's in the wrong. de
is far more obstinate in wrong than IN

We are not sure that the censure thus
administered to the President is just.
No other American President ever found
the Presidency so hard road to travel.
No other American President, we be-
lieye. ever found himself at war with
Congress hating him, threatening him,
logging him, and reviling him, as the
present Congress hates, threatens, dogs
and reviles Andrew johnson. By res
olution, Congress orders arms to be sent
into Tennessee for the use of Brownlow's
army. We are not aware that the Pres
ident made any objection to the resolu-
ton. If he had, it would have been un-
availing against two.thirds of both
Houses. Refusal TO carry out that reso-
luton would have produced exactly the
same state of affairs that refusal to exc
cute the military bills would have pro-
duced. What that would have been, it
is needless to discuss. 1t is entirely
prebable that arms sent here to kill Con-
servatives with, may never be used for
that purpose. We don't think many of
them will The moral effect, however,
may prove of incalculabls benefit to the
people. The world will ask; Does

Unmerciful Slaughter of Stokes
and the Radicals.

The following is the Unions report Of
the closing speech Of Mr. Ethsridge, de-
livered on Saturday last at Nashville:

most unpleasant duties Of a gentleman
to stigmstize the assertions Of men hold
ing honorable positions, az false. But
what this man has said, ] know to be
false, have proved to be false, and he has

he publicly confessed himself a liar.

"A man who has no more respect for
truth than IL he had never heard the word.
He told the colored people that every
Conservative voted against the Constitu-
tional Amendment, and that every Rad

any friend of his, FIVE hundred dollars
that there is not a word of truth in what
he said. II was passed by Democratic
and Conservative votes, or it never would
have passed He says that all the Con-
servatiYes voted against letting you, col

on rHE OTHER SIDE.


1t was announced in our issue Of yes
terday, that a great aflliction hid visited
the home circle OF Col ]. II. Mcmahon
His noble wife, Caroline R., the embod''
ment Of every virtue, of every thing
lovely in existence, lives on earth only
in the memory. Slowly, she faded into
tho hereafter, wearing all the long sor'
rowful while the serenity Of saint
with the aspect Of a martyr to life that
was the more precious because II was the
most frail Like many Of the days we
behold on earth, her morning was clear,
but when the noon came, the clouds be-
gan to gather When the pulse Of ex'
istence struck one, the heaven was hall
involved. At two, the landscape began
to fade, the window was shut, and Gods
grand world, with its vast roofing and
innumerabc lamps, its anthems. rolled
sonorously on a thousand visible and
invisible organs, disappeared. Gentle
sleep came on, it was so gentle, that the
watchers could scarcely think that
that was death. 1t was only to
the clay that lay motionless there,
a TRANSPORTATION. The spiritual survived
the wreck of life, and was clothed with
immortal beauty on the other shore.
Standing by that faded form, was man
who bore many a scar received in the
battle Of life. Those wounds, when they
first bled, were staunched by her. The
dust and darkness that gathered on his
brow from the conflict of the day, we're
brushed away by touch that was all
magic when the twilight came To him,
the chief mournor where all mourn, we
offer no obtrusive, no ostentatious word
of coincidence. We cannot grapple with
another's woe, nor restore the lost idols
of the heart Where the fountain runs
deep, and dark, and bitter, we may only
drop a silent tear Of sympathy, and, like
the shadows, pass on.

CHINESE HISTORY.

The State Department at Washington
has made public a Chinese history Of
the United States, which was written by
Sen.Ki-Yu, during the time that he was
Governor of Fuh-Kien, from 1874 to
1850 A high tribute is paid to Wash
ington, as the founder of the country
and its mild institutions, which is even
compared to a feature of the Celestial
Government. The daring author was
deposed for his pains by the Emperor in
1850, but through che influence of Mr..
Williams, late Charge of the United
States at Pekin, he was subsequently
recalled, and given position in the for.
eign Office of the government.

written to Joen G. Breckenridge, in
viting him to return to this country and
take part in the reconStructing of it.
Vera Cruz correspondence says that
warm weather having set in, the deaths
among the troops is steadily increasing.
The Liberal iron-clads are daily expected
in front Of the city. A Spanish brig,
with $4,000 pounds of powder and plenty
Of provisions, had arrived.

POOR STOKES.

The Nashville Gazette, of Saturday,
thus alludes to VIM. B. Stokes, who, like
the immortal 81. NJ" is sacrificing him
self:
We met poor Bill Stokes casually Oh
the street yesterday. Hardly recognized
him, he's so altered. Looks like hen
pecked husband. Hes scared. Says he
had no notion when he entered it, that
the game was going to be SO serious He
VOWS there isn't half dozen Brownlow'
ties in GAINESVILLE. Bad for GAINESVILLE.
Speaks huskily about the campaign,
Evidently feels like a captive among the
Indians who has just run the gauntlet,
and is told he must do it over again.
Some humane person, or society, or
something, should take the pressure"
off poor Stokes. But that is impossible,
for Etheridge can put it on faster than
all the world can take it of.
