how RADICALS are MAKING

The New York Tribune has
the manliness to speak of the
meanness of the Rump Congress
Republicans, in refusing to order
an investigation Of the charge that
Southern soldiers were badly
treated in Northern prisons during
the war. The editor well says
."There is not "a sympathizer
with The Lost Cause on earth
who will not triumphantly read
and cite il as an evidence that
the Republicans dare not make
a full and fair investigation of the
treatment of prisoners by each
party in our late civil war-not
even before a committee of their
OWN choosing-and the impartial
world will be likely 10 agree with
them. Suppose a European his
torian, writing the history Of our
great struggle, with the Confed-
crate report aforesaid before him,
and only General Washburne's
preamble and resolve to weigh
against it-can there be any doubt
as TO his conclusion ?"

Juarez, in refusing the life of
Macmillan, announced that it was
beyond his power. In the procla-
nation which he issued, with
respect to the prisoners captured,
he refers a half dozen times to
his sample powers" and his ''am.
pie facilities" for acts of "clemen-
cy and mercy" This alone is
sufficient to refute the idea that
he did not possess the power to
spare the life of the Austrian.

A gentleman who resides in
Brownsville says that last week
several blacks who lived close
neighbors to David Num-, Esq,
Radical candidate for Congress,
died, and their friends were too
poor to bury them. They applied
to every prominent Radical in and
about Brownsville, and not one
would give a dollar to bury ne
groes that couldn't vote. Applica-
ton was then made to Conserva-
tives, who gave what was needed.

The Knoxville Free Press says
owe understand that on Thurs.
day, the Radicals at Maryville
tore down the Stars and Stripes
from the residence of a Conserve
tive, who had been a gallant
Union soldier, swearing that no
man opposed to Brownlow had
any right to that flag. When
the Rebels tore down Union flags
in this country the blood OF Union
men boiled in their veins. What
makes the difference? There is
none-the Radicals are rebels"

Patent Gas Generator" or Double
Cylinder Gas Generating no Chin
ney Lamp, a new and useful In
vention, which consists in the
employment of two perforated
Tin Cylinders, one inside of the
other, and connected by arms ex-
tending from the inner to the
outer, and placed upon any ordi-
binary Lamp in such a manner
that by the air admitted through
the perforated Tin Cylinders, and
by the draft occasioned by the same,
the smoke and surplus carbon are
consumed, and a bright and odor-
less gas light is obtained.
1t is a well known fact that
the breakage, uncertainty and ex-
pense in keeping up the ordinary
Glass Chimney Lamp has been a
great drawback in introducing In
to common use the "Carbon or
Petroleum Oils" and thousands,
after using the ordinary lamps,
discard them altogether and re-
turn to the ''Tallow Mould" The
Generator obviates all these diff
iculties, besides saving thirty
three per cent. of oil over the or
binary Lamp. 1t cannot get out
of order, nor can it explode. 1t
will not 'sblow out" always safe
and convenient, and the cheapest
and best gas light in use.

The latest idea of the New
York Herald is to put an end to
the Indian war by making citi.
zens of them. The Herald says
"Why are the Radical philan-
thropists silent about the red man,
when they are SO noisy about the
black woolly-headed negro? If
civil privileges are to be extended
beyond the white race-if this is
to be a mixed government-an
amalgamated republic of white
and black on an equality, surely
the red man, the original Ameri-
can, ought to be included"

A Stainless House.

There is now building in a busy
quarter of Paris, an experimental
house, which if successful-and
there seems no reason why it
should not be so-will serve as a
model for similar structures in
that and other great cities, where
the value of land is very high,
and the economy of space mat
ter of vital Importance. The chief
novelty in this house is the alb
|sence of any staircase, the place
of that hitherto necessary means
of access being supplied by a by
Graulic elevator, ascending and
descending noiselessiy every min
ute. BY means of this the LODI
gers will reach their respective
floors speedily and without effort
at any given minute of the day
or night. Another advantage of
this arrangement is, that it ena-
bles houses to be built.to q much
greater height, the upper floors
being as easily accessible as the
lower, and for that matter pre-
ferable, on account Of better air,
light, and freedom from intrusion
or the noise of the street. The
tenement house building in Paris
will be eleven stories high from
the street level.

A Washington correspondent O

A Washington correspondence
the Brooklyn Eagle, says:
1t has always been the boast of
the Radicals that the soldiers are
with them. They have managed
by all sorts of promises and induce
ments to keep them in harness
for a long time back, but latterly
the 'sBoys in Blue" have begun to
realize that the Radicals were u.s.
ing them as a handle and making
tools of them. In order to coun-
teract this, new bill for the
Equalization of Bounties, on the
basis of S. 80 per month, is! to
be put through at the first regular
session Of Congress. 1t is big
job, electioneering and otherwise.
Already the knowing ones are
busy hunting up discharges.

General Grant has no hesitation
in pronouncing the Indian war
one got up in the interest of the
various classes of spectators on
the border. AS a specimen of
the exaggerated reports of Indian
fights circulated in the country,
the official report received by Gen
eral Grant Of the fights in which
it was reported that Roman Nose
commanded, and was killed after
hehad killed thirteen whites, shows
that only two whites were wound
ed, and the horse of Roman Nose
shot instead of the rider.

Etheridge.

EGuGTluS6.
,, The Chattanooga american
Union is permitted to take from
a private letter received in that
city, the particulars of the riot,
from which we subjoin the fol-
lowing:
After the speaking was over,
| the Conservatives accompanied
Mr.. Etheridge to the old Edmon's
Hotel, and in about half an hour
the Radical league, numbering
about three hundred, came march
ing along. They suddenly fired
a volley and commenced firing
right and left. The Conservatives,
though thrown into great confu-
sion by this unprovoked attack,
soon rallied and gave them bat
tie, and put the leaguers, most of
whom were negroes, to flight
The fight lasted about five min
utes, during which time there
was one man killed, one mortally
wounded and eight severely and
slightly wounded. The man who
was killed was q Conservative
named York. The one MORALLY
wounded was also a Conservative.
There were five negroes and three
white men wounded. One negro
had his leg amputated the same
evening by DR.. Walker.
After their repulse the Radi-
calls rallied on the hill at Bradley's,
but John Wolf and VIM. Thur
man (both of whom had been Of
ficers in the United States, 9Th
Tennessee Cavalry, and are now
Conservatives,) excited by the
death of their friend, gathered up
a squad of Conservatives, charged
up the hill and routed the leaguers
again, wounding one of them and
captured the leaguers' flag and
about dozen guns and pistols.
The writer says that the times
are now worse than they were
during the war, or in 1861, but
the dissensions are chiefly among
the Union men, as Radicals and
Conservatives. He thinks there
will be a terrible time on the day
of election, unless some steps are
taken by the authorities to prevent
it.
He says that the fight was COM
menced by the negro league of
Rogersville, who fired the first
shot, and were doubtless instruct
ed to do SO by some white men of
that county OR town. Most of
the negroes were armed with new
pistols, which looks very sus-
picious. They fired a whole vol
ley at VIM. Thurman and Thos.
Cain, (both of whom were officers
OF the Union army during the
wary but luckily did not touch |
either of them. 1t is strange
that no more were hurt, as there
were at least five hundred men in
the fight, Orion the ground.
