A Model Legislature.

1t is said that there was never such q
crowd collected together as the Legisla'
ture Of Tennessee. The members are
from the lowest class of the refuse of the
people. They live about in the dirtisst
places in Nashville, drink the cheapest
and yiest whisky they can find, cheat
their landlords and barkeepers, don't
know what is meant by q clean shirt,
and are altogether the nastiest SCI
Of blackguards that could be naked
up in the State, beipg the equals
in syey respect OF the lowest class Of
negroes. All who have character among
the colored people will not let "mem.
Der" speak to them. Such is the char
scter Of the "trooly loil" in Tennessee,
who are taxing that part OF the people
to death that have any property, ard
under whose management thsss exhorbi-
taut taxes have not sufhced TO pay the
interest on the bonds OF the State, which
have run ten million in debt within the
last two years.-Norfolk Journal.

The extraordinary action Of the De-
mocracy here is utterly bewildering to
the slow coaches of the Republican per,
suasion. Nearly one hundred thousand
majority in Kentucky was slightly sail
vatipg in its effects The more sagacious
begin to think there is q revolution going
on, but not SO with the more stupid, as
represented by the Gazette and Com
mercidl. The former blames it on the
Ka-KIux Klans, and even insinuates we
have them in Allegheny county, but that
the Post won't tell. We never tell more
than We know, but we are almost pre-
pared TO believe anything. The majority
of the people of this county once belonged
to an organization which boasted in the
euphonious titles of Celestial, Shanghai
and Muscovy." Ku-Klux sounds as ra.
tional, and cant be worse, but as sure as
you are born, Mr.. Gazette. there is some
thing wrong this year with she Democrats,
there are so many of them, and they ap.
pear to be in such good spirits. - Pitts

At meeting Of the bricklsyers last
night reports were made showing that
twenty Eve thousand dollars have been
expended in carrying on the strike. A

There is little unpIeasantness exist
ing at the Springfield armory and work
shops. About two months ago an order
came from Washington making eight
hours days work, and since that time
the men have been working on that sys-
tenn with the understanding that their
pay was to continue without reduction.
On Thursday, however, Col. Benton told
them informally that he had instructions
from headquarters to the effect that their
wages should be cut down proportionate-
ly; that all who wished could work
ten hours and receive their old pay for
the same. This was an unlocked for
turn in affairs, and all hands quit as
usual, at four o'clock, with the determi-
nation to work only eight hours, and to
take the chance of receiving full pay.

A runor has been in circulation for
some days Of heavy defalcation by the
president Of the Allentown Iron Com.
pany, incorporated in 1851. A meeting
was called. when it was expected full
statement would be made by the presi-
dent Of ,ts condition; but he did not at
tend, and an investigation is said to have
disclosed deficiency of over one hun
dred thousand dollars. e1
TIE President has pardoned and sent
an order to the Secretary of War for the
release of VIM, Faler, Thos. Powers and
David Wilkins, at one time sentenced to
death by a military commission, but
whose sentence was afterward mitigated
by Gen. Candy to fifteen years impris-
onment in Raleigh, North Carolina, in
November, 1867. The alleged crime of
these men was the shooting of q
negro who had outraged o white girl
named Miss Massex, on Sunday evening,
February 10, 1867, as she was returning
from church to her home, near Fsyette-
Vile, North Carolina. Beebe, the
negro, was arrested and brought to
trial, A large crowd vas assembled
at the preliminary examination, and as
Miss Massex passed from the court to q
carriage, a handkerchief fell from her
neck, and exposed to the view of the
crowd the marks Of the tends fingers on
her throat, which incensed them very
much, and Beebe was shot as soon as he
was brought from the courthouse. - Lou

In Clay county, Missouri, there have
hitherto been two thousand, nine hun
bred and sixty-two taxpayers, and only
three hundred and thirty-two voters
under Radical prescription. As that
prescription has been removed, and as
the proportion of heretofore disfran.
chised men has been equal in other coun-
ties, no small estimate will cover the
Democratic majority in Missouri this
fell.
A gallant soldier, who held promi-
uent command in the Twenty-ninth Ohio,

mour and Blair.
It is astonishing how many young men
are coming ont for Seymour and Blair.
The romance of Fremont's career, and
the Wide-Awake nonsense of the Lincoln
campaign, allured good many, but this
year there is not enough enthusiasm
among the Radicals to coax an infant to
the front window. The young men are
with the Democratic party this fall, and
every one we know Of who is TO cast his
first vote, will cast it for Seymour and
Blair. The hurrah is all taken out of the
other side. k
