HUGE EGG.-Not long since we made
mention of four legged chicken, Matched
out by a little hen with big top knot, on
the farm OF Col Marshal T. Polk. The
mother of the strange chick has again
brought herself into notice by producing an
egg, which we now have before us, and
Which measures six and half inches in
circumference one way and seven and a half

This is highly probable, since the ma

and exercises the right to- control the
Legislation of that body. The infer
ence from the argument Is, that as
the Democratic majority will claim
10 be the legal Congress, the Radical
minority will be equally justified In
doing the same thing, and that in the
event of Grants defeat the said lead

and drive the Democratic President

NASHVILLE, Sept. 1.-The Legislature Ii
significantly silent on the militia bust ness,
the Senate committee which has the House
report. If The militia bill passes ut all 1t
Will be In modified form; still II is very
probable that a bill of some kind will pass.
The bill for the suppression fthe Kui<lux
passed its third reading to-day 1t imposes
n heavy punishment on persons found
masked and disguised. and also attaches
penalties TO any who may be found giving
announcement to kukluX.
Gentlemen who arrived from Knoxville
to-day report having had n long CONVERSE
ton with Brownlow, during which the lat
ter exhibited his proclamation, calling out
the militia. 1t will be borne in mind that
the militia bill has not vet passed, although
the Governor in the beginning of his pro-
clamation makes the very singular state
ment that the bill passed both houses with
remarkable unanimity. This was based on
his anticpations, when the fact really is
that II the bill passes ut all 1t Will be any
thing but unanimous. .f
Brownlow expressed himself rs bitterly
opposed to rebel Acknowledgement, and said
the only proper way to treat the hell-de-
serving rebels was to annihilate them by fire
and sword. lie slso said If he got his mill
tia once in the field he would give the
wretchcs a lesson they would not soon for
get He is represented rs being bitter and
bloodthirsty in the extreme.
