The Truth of History,

The World notes the fact that in the
dozen olives" Of Hiram U. Grant,
which have recently been published,
there is marked hiatus in the hero's
history. 1t says:
lie is presented as great military
chieftain who achieves a captaincy and
then suddenly drops out of the army
to which he was educated and for which
he is presumed to have had a proclivity
This was in 1854, at Fort Van Couver
Washington Territory. None of these
historians tell us achy Grant dropped
out of the army. He is vaguely report
ed to have resigned. But army cap
tains do not resign to take up wood,
cutting and the trade Of tanner at S4(
a month, without some reason, which
the biographies are bound to give fol
the satisfaction of their readers. VIZ
did Grant resign? Was he requested
to resign? Why was he requested tC
resign? The public demands an an
sWer to these pertinent questions.

Cost of a Radical Rule.

Since the surrender of Lees army the
Radical Government at Washington
have borrowed about eight hundred
million dollars, and have collected in adj
dition thereto from the people during
the same period, fourteen hundred mil
lions which make two thousand two
hundred millions that they have expen-
ded since the close of the rebellion.
This is one-half Of the entire debt of
Great Britain, and more than the entire
amount expended by the National Gov
eminent from the time that George
Washington was first elected President
up to the close of Buchanan's admins
tration, during which time the country
went through two successful foreign
wars, and any number of wars with
the Indians, and,al acquired all the
territory of the United States west OF
the Mississippi river. These facts speak
for themselves.

seen about the Triunc snake. 1t comes
from the Nashville Gazette:
We have already chronicled the death
of twenty-nine feet of that monster
snake at Triune, but the other end of
the varmint, measuring over sixty feet,
made its appearance at Tank on Tues
day last, much to the terror of the
neighborhood The only depredations
committed by his Highness was the
swallowing of three negroes, two mules
and a moving machine, since which
time he has been comparatively quiet
and it is supposed that his appetite has
been appeased for at least day or two

Murder in Mississippi.

Monday night Samuel McSwain, liv-

whilst undressing, and MORALLY woun-

who was pursued by citizens and par

dcd twice by Sergeant Smith, and was
captured and brought back to Grenada.
"A mob was with great difficulty preyen-
ted from hanging him. No cause for
the assassination is known.

from the Memphis Acalonche:

The New York World has the follow
ing paragraph about Tennessee:
The year previous to the war. in the
Presidential election Of 1850, Tennessee
cast 100000 votes-all white. In 1867,
under the Brownlow radical military
arrangement but 10000 whites were
permitted to cast their notes.-the rest
being DISTINGUISHED for alleged partici-
patton in the rebellion. Allowing OH
the one hand, for the loss by the war,
and on the other, for the increase by
young men becoming of age. it may be
set down that not less than $4,000 white
voters iii Tennessee are prevented from
exercising the elective franchise G0,00O
negroes are admitted to the franchise
because they vote the radical ticket
The consequence is, while there is Il
large Democratic prcponderance in the
State, the radicals are able to carry eve

measures to contest the legality of this
manifest outrage before the Supreme

The Corn and Pork Crop.

The Cincinnati Price Current, after
speaking of the general favorable re-
ports of the wheat crops from all parts
of the country, says:
The indications of an abundant corn
crop. are quite favorable, and should
this be the case, a large increase i'll The
pork crop may be looked for the COM
ing season, because the supply of stock
hogs will be unusually large, for not
only was the supply left over from last
season large, farmers not having fatted
them because of the high price of corr
and the comparative low price Of pork
but the increase since then has been lib
eral, so that the number now in the
Western States, it will be seen, must BIZ
unusually large.

The Radical Party of Tennessee

The Cincinnati Commercial is q Re-
publican paper-a good paper, too-and
supports Grant and Colfax. 1t says of
its party in Tennessee:
The Republican party of Tennessee
is, unfortunately, divided into two
strata; one of which is largely control
led by men from the North, the other
shares, in some degree, the horror of
conservatives for carpet-baggers. The
division is absurd and injurious. Mere
political demagOgues are no advantage
to any community, but no community
can thrive on the repulsion of men OF
enterprise ard capital. Two circum-
stances have favored the fracture in the
Republican party. One of these has
been the competition of mercenary as
pirants to secure the controlling votes
of the ignorant black masses; and the
other has been the influence of secret
associations. At this time radical
cliques hate each other more intensely
than they do the bitterest conservatives
As an illustration, take this city. Beau
mont. radical Chief of Police, is trying
to have Waldron, radical Judge of the
Municipal Court, cashicred for perjury
and Waldron has had Beaumont anC
Burdett indicted for crimes and misde
meanors. Chief County Commissioner
Lewis, is indicted on trumped-ul
charge for malfeasance in office, ant
Lewis publicly denounces Hough, thu
proprietor of the radical paper, as {
liar and scoundrcl. Eaton of thu
Post denounces Johnny, the United
States Marshal, and part owner of thu
Bulletin, as q cotton thief, and Jomin!
rctorts by showing that the Eatons ar
rascals. The whole Of the leaders o
the Republican party of the State o
Tennessee are thus snarling at and bit
ing each other. 1t is so at Memphis, s.
at Nashville, so everywhere.

The Indiana KukluX.

We published last week that three
men, connected with recent Express
robbery, had been hung, by unknown
parties near Seymour, Indiana. The
following particulars are additional:
The three unfortunatcs are named
Roscberry, Elliott and Clifton. and arc
members of families living in Seymour,
and are respectfully connected. There
are yet three more of the robbers at
large, who are citizens of Seymour, and
were employees on the Jacksonville and
Indiana Railroad. Detectives are on
their track, and hopes are entertained
of their capture, particularly one John
Moore, who is considered one of the
greatest rascals Of the age.
A Vigilance Committee has been
formed, and by published circular
threaten all thieves and robbers infest-
ing this section with hanging without
benefit of clergy. Below find copy OF
circular issued this day. j. III. b.

The Radical Spectators.

The Radical spectators say that it is
against their conscience to tax govern
ment bonds. Why? Because they own
them and wish other people to bear all
the burdens Of taxation, They object
to have them paid in the legal tender
are currency ofthe country, because they
possessed of an itching palm, and have
just patriotism enough to demand from
the oppressed taxpayers of the Union
IA hundred do llars in gold for a loan
which cost them only forty. They wish,
in other words, to turn their greenbacks
into gold, at the expense Of the labor
ing producers of the land, and to rid
themselves of taxation which every one
else is obliged to pay.

The following paragraph, which We
find in the papers, shows up new
dodge in the swindling programme
A philanthropic firm in New York
makes specially of the business of
informing parties in Germany that rel
ativcs of theirs have died in the United
States and bequeathed to them large
sums of money. Before the amount
can be paid to the heirs, however, the
latter must prepay the charges which
generally amount to the tritling sum of
seventy or eighty dollars. When the
charges are paid. the heir hears no
more about his Inheritance.

days since Mr.. Mangrum was on deer
drive, and while at one of the stands he
saw an object approaching him which
80 alarmed him that he raised his gun
and fired at it. The object which re-
sembled a man covered with sheet,
continued to advance upon Mr.. Man
grum. when he drew his pistols and
empticd all the barrels at the ghost
None of the shots seemed to take eff
feet. he climbed tree TO make his eS-
cape. BY the time lie was Il short dis
lance up the tree the white oiect was
standing under him with its eyes fixed
upon him, and he declared that il was
the spirit of the young man whom he
had killed. Mangrum was so startled at
the steady gaze of the eye that he had
been the cause of laying cold in death,
that he tainted and fell from the tree
His friends carried him home, the ghost
following and standing before him con-
stantly. the sight of which brought up
the recollection of his guilt with such
force to his mind. that he died in great
agony, after two or three days suffering.

of putting aside military despotism and
the usurpations of fragment of Con-
