The World and Grant.

This will not do. II the New York World hes
any candor it viii not repeat the assertion that ono
paper has offered any explanation which clears Gen.
Grant Of completely in the cotton speoulations OF
Jesse r. Grant, his father One Of the parties TO
that speculation was Mr.. Henry Mack, Of the Mack
Brothers, of this city In card already published
which the World has probably seen, Mr. Mack
says
"Jeese Grant did furnish letter 10 an agent of
the house OF Mack Brothers s. Co, addressed to Gen
Grant recommending that special favors be grant
ed him, which was duly presented The General
received the gentleman courteously, and said, in
substance as follows am always pleased sir TO
render any proper assistance in my power to my
friends but l am a General of the army Of the
United States Government and cannot diserimi-
nate between its citizens. do not know why nv
father should write asking such favor. It can
have no influence with me- The request is i'm
proper, as IT would give one an advantage over an
other, and would lead to that Generalization which
1t Is my endeavor TO prevent The attention of the
military cannot be diverted from the work in hand
viz saving the country. You can take out a per-
nit and trade along the river, as others are doing
and shall Re pleased TO hear of your success
The General simply turned Mr. Mack ov er to the
Treasury Agent 10 get his permit and trade along
the river as Others were doing, and as il was the
then established policy Of Che Government ssey
should do subject TO such regulations as from time
to time might be made.
Mr.. Mack was informed that The request made by
his (Grants) father was improper, giving one an
advantage over another, and that it could have no
influence with him. His business as General Of
the army was to saws the country, and if tie Gov
eminent wanted to save the cotton il must be done
without diverting the military from its work The
answer given 10 Mack is characteristic of the man
Grant, from first 10 last from Belmont ID Apo
mstto1 Courthouse, never allowed bis attention 10
be diverted FROM the great work Of putting down
the rebellion and saving the country and to this
diFectness snd tenacity Of purpose his success is
perhaps, as much due as TO inherent genius or &c
quired knowledge of the art OF war

And gtilI they Come.

Hundreds OF men in tho different eoun-
ties Of East Tennessee, by the cry Of high
taxes last summer and Of despotism and Of
negro equality, were indaced TO vote the
Conservative ticket Now that the con
test has narrowed down to one between the
old Rebel leaders Of the South aud to Loyal
masses of the North and South, hundreds
that voted with the enemy last summer are
coming over to the Grant and Colfax ticket
The Radicals carried the State last August
by majority Of hfty-two thousand
Whereas Grants majority will not fall be-
low sixty thousand From every county
in East Tennessee we hear Of daily asces-
sion TO the radical eanks They are join
ing the leagues rapidly. Many intelligent
men who acted with the Conservative party
say they can stand such speeches as are
made by Wade Hampton, Bob. Toombs,
Ben. Hill, Howell Cobb and others Of the
old secession leaders The letters of Frank
Blair, and Ed Ewing, and the incendisry
speeches Of A S. Colyar are rapidly doing
the work for the rebel Democratic ticket
In word the people are everywhere be
ginning TO realize the fact that this rebel
party are Iaboring to bring on another war
and to restore the lost cause by achieving
the independence.of a Southern Confedera-
cy. Hence they .are bound to take sides

wisely determined to elect Grant by accla

A soldiers ESTIMATE of SEYMOUR.

how Union soldiers regard Seymour
You can now understand how we soldiers feel 70.

hour Of sorrow and WEAKNESS he had no encour-

the flag streams on every breeze and all our land is

mour Let Southern rebels shout thy praise: let
the burner of orphan asyums, and the deeerter and
the skulker from the draft, twine laurels for thy

steep, they met four soldiers coming down and car
rylng in blanket a shapeless mass. Laying their
burden tenderly down. they asked the doctor 10 look
at their wounded Color Sergeant His shoulder and
forearm had been torn away by a shell. The sur
geon knelt, and putting the hair back from his
manly brow, asked, My brave fellow, where were

those present in effective, plain com mon sense
speech, two and half hours in length His re-
marks we're enthusiastically received at times being
greeted with the Oudest applause The force Of his
speech consisted in the plain truths told by him in
plain way, relative the efforts now being made BY
the opposite party to divert the minds of the peo
pie from the real issues Of the day. while that is to
be accomplished by the devotees of the lost cause

GoyernOr BrOwnIOw.

No man in Tennessee has been so we'll abused al
His Excellency Gov. VIM. g. Brownlow. The
whole catalogue of vile and bitter erthets has been
worn thread-bare upon him. The rebel papers Of
the State like gang of hungry hounds, have never
ceased to yelp upon MS track, and have barked
themselves hoarse. Yet, nothing really is alleged
against him. In vain do we search through whole
pages of abuse for any fair and candid statement Of
their cause In vain do We ask the furious frantic
frothing opposition for their reasons. We think
however that we know them and can state them
The rebels are angry with Governor Brownlow-
l. Because he did not go with them into their re-
belion.
O. Because they could not break him down in
prison, and bring him over to their side.
3. Because he sent his sons into the Union army
and exerted his own powerful influence, by voice
and pen, TO destroy the Confederacy.
A. Because he has been twice elected Governor Of
Tennessee, the last time by $4,000 majority.
5. Because be has been elected United States Sem
ator.
6. Because he has wholesome contempt for that
nonsensical thing called " rebel piety."
7. Because he keeps the Knoxville Wing alive,
and tells the truth in it.
8. Because be believes that loyal men should con-
troll the country and that rebels should take back
seats and behave themselves
8. Because he Is determined that Union men,
black and white, shall live in Tennessee without
molestatioD.
TO- Because he is in favor of free schools for all
the children Of the State, without distinction of
color.
II. Because he is the real friend Of immigration,
and treats Northern men, who settle here, with
muscle brains and capitol he treats other citi-
zeng.
II. Because he has not and will not join III the
rebel cry of rpet-baggers'
10. Because he is determined that sehool-aouse
burners and the disguised scoundrels VINO go about
at night committing rapes upon colored women,
whipping, robbing and numbering eolored men, and
abusing in the same barbarous manner white Union
men, snail be fsrretted out and punished.
IA. Because he is loyal to the Government of the
United States, and wishes to see peace and good

Very Kind.

The Petersburg Express addresses some
plain and kind words TO the negro voters,
which rather Guido in kindness ANYTHING
we have yet seen. We quote some of the
kind words
We are opposed to your having the right
to vote, because we do not believe that you
yet have knowledge enough to exercise the
right judieiously or understandingly. None
OF your race, as yet, anywhere on the face
OF the earth, has had sense enough to es-
tablish self governing people You have
always failed, when without the guiding in
huence and control of the white race. Don't
go to the elections Stay away from the
polls, if you wish to remain among us in
your old hstunts and home Your only
rights are, to be treated as human beings.
but Of an Inferior order. If the God of
Nature intends your equality with the
white man. he exhibited with reverence be
II said very little wisdom in your structure
of mind or body, and has reserved the de-
velopment Of that equality to be displayed
in eternity II you aspire to that equality
On the earth, BE- assured it is not attainabie
BY you Il you inadly attempt to clutch it
by force, you viii be swept, as stubbls BIZ
fire, from this region, which Won will do
best, we kindly admonish you, 10 eniov in
suoordination and peace.
We don't think there is very much dan
ger Of the old white politicians and slave
holders of the South controlling the negro
vote u this represents their kind LANGUAGE.
