or course, the Tribune knows per
fectly we'll that Brownlow is viruleni

stinks ia the nostrils Of decent Repub-

an open scandal TO American citizenship

Of the Radical press in Tennessee are
shocked by the proposition and protest

Tribune seek TO carry water on both
shoulders-to run with the hare and hunt
with the hounds7 Why will il not tell us
plainly whether it supports Brownlow
against the Constitution, or the Constitu.

Briefly. for these reasons: Because it
knows that to applaud this disgraoeful
incendiary at this particular time would
irritete and ALLEVIATE the few thinking
men wh& still linger about the frontiers
of the Radical camp in the North, while
honestly and plainly to denounce bis
atrocious course might turn out to have
been ipjudicous, should he get his Ear

set about perpetratipg horrors which so

feet in diameter and six feet broad, with
foot board for horses 10 hold. From the
axle are suspended seats for the passen-

beyond the wheel, it being only necessary
to keep them balanced. Iron stays from
the exiremiiies Of the axle are carried
over the top rather in front, which sup
ports the seat for the person who drives
the vehicle, which is done with the great

shorter space than q coach. a success

extraordinary pressure is brought to bear
on the President and McCulloch to quash
any further proceedings.
In view OF his being a candidate for
President, and holding the position of
General of our armies, the question is
frequently asked whether Grant would
not consider hat propriety demanded

sured that be would follow the example
of Mcclellan, and like him, tender his
resignation, but they attribute to him a
delicacy he does not possess. There are
reasons for stating be does not intend to
resign at all unless be is elected Presi-

tionsble, he proposes to hold on to good
thing. Twenty thousand year is good,
