peace and prosperity and happiness Well,
the war ended three years ago, the South

HARD on THE B. B. 's.-Jobn NJ. Fleming,
tae fearless editor of the Knoxville Press
and Herald, thus speaks of Brownlow and
his son:
Br3wnlow is monster, and the natural
inference would be that he would be prolific
of monstrosities In this, however, he has
been a failure. His eldest son, John, is by
no means a monster. He is simply a weak
diIution Of his fathers mendacity. He has
capacity sufficient to tell lie, but he has
not brains enough to aspire to telling of the
truth. Besides, his moral capacity IN other
respects is very deficient. His idea of per-
sonaI honor reaches no higher point than
that Of numbering his college class mate in
the most dastardly manner; and his notions
of chivalry terminated in the wilful murder
of a prisoner of war; who had surrendered
to him Such is John Brownlow-a degen-
crate son of an ignobIe sire.

ST. JOINS CHURCH AND THE
FOURTH OF JULY.-Our First Street
neigbbor does not seem to be salts
fed that the congregation worship
ping at st. Johns Church should have
arranged for a celebration of the
Fourth of July, and in addition
should have invited the Grand Army
of the Republic and others to partici-
pate with them, but denounces it,
and deplores the movement as par
tisan affair, and charges the whole
matter to the Grand Army of the Re-
public. The fact is that the Grand
Army had nothing to do in the mat
ter, further than to accept polite in
vitation extended to them. and to all
who would, to join in the celebra-
ton of the day. The Church desired
to do something for the benefit OF
their Sabbath School, and when they
saw no other movement made for the
celebration Of the Fourth, concluded
to do as other Churches have done
before them.
1t will be remembered that one year
ago one of the Catholic Churches oil
this city got up celebration at the
Fair Grounds for the benefit of the
Church, and many Democrats cheer.
