How the Fourth of July was Celebrated
by the Ku-KluX.

A special despatch to the Chicago Tri-
Gune from Nashville says =
"Thc night of the Fourth of July was
celebrated in many places in Tennessee
by monstrous Kuklux parties, accom-
panied by the usual outragcs upon Union
men aud negroes. Large bodies of these
friends Of the New Nork Convention
paraded in Maury, Giles, Rutherford and
other counties, in some places moro than
four hundred strong. At about ten O.
clock at night force estimated at between
two hundred aud five hundred, entered
Shclbyvillc, Bedford county, dragged
Mr.. j. g. Dunlap from his house, took
him into the street, stripped and tied him,
and Inflicted upon him two hundred lash
es. Mr.. Dunlap is white man, teach
er of freedmen, aud has maintained a
llourishiDg colorcd school in Shclbyvilc
two years past. lie sustains the charac-
ter oi 4 quiet, inodcnsivc man. 1t is
the opinion of his physician that hc can
not survive his injuries.
''On the same night the same body Of
men whipped negro named j. Whisner
in the most brutal manner.
at is asserted that the rebel citizens
of Sholbyvillc gave the Ku-KIux decided
encouragement while in the town. The
excitement created in the county was in
tense, and 4 number of the freedmen
have fled to Nashville. Two colorcd rc
fugecs came into the city to-day from
Gibson county, West Tcnncssc, to ask
protection of the government. They
state negroes arc whipped and killed at
pleasure in that county by the Ku- Klux,
and that the civil authorities afford them
no kind Of protection.
"a gentleman who was, during the
war, high officer in the Confederate
service, and whose business led him to
travel extensively in Middle Tennessee
during the summer, states that there is
widespread determination among the
young men OF the Confederate army, in
this State, to inauSurate war. In reply
to the argument Of cooler men who have
cndcavorcd to dissuadc them from their
purpose, and induce them to abandon
their organization, they say You man
aged the war before aud VIC obcycd you :;
now VIC intend to manage to suit our
selves have this from high source
from gentleman who has ncycr been a
Radical. 1t is his opinion unless the
most vigorous measures arc adopted to
destroy the Ku Klux organization in this
State, the most bloody consequences may
be anticipated"

Grant, The Butcher!

Ii has been favoritc charge Of the
Democracy that Gen. Grant, after his as
sumption of the command of the Army Of
tho Potomac, butchcred of his men with
out stint, and cared but little for the loss
of life so that he secured victory to his
efforts For This alleged reason he is
most literally denounced as " Grant, the
Butcher" and figures arc paradcd to show
that his march from the Rapidan to
Richmond was at best but moving
slaughter house in which Union soldiers
were numerically butchcrcd. On oul
first page we present statement OF facts
carefully prepared from the official docu
mcnts, which so TO show that, notwith
standing The heaviest battles of the wal
fought by the Army of the Potomac
were fought under Grant, and the grea
end, the suppression of the Rebellion
was accomplished by him, his losses o
men foot up some 10000 less than wcr
the losses to the same army prior to hi
assumption of its command, including tn
days of McClcllan's dress paradcs, quake
gun scarcs and all. In other words,
required the sacrifice of 10000 NOR
lives to keep up dress paradcs, and pandc
to the vanity Of bungling Gcucrals, than
did under live general to whip tn
Southern Democracy, and secure safct
TO tho Union. Look at the article

Position of the Chase Men.

The Central Chase Association, having
its headquarters in New York, on Thurs
day night last adopted the following:
Whereas, the Central Chase Ass )cia-
tion, composed of Conservative Democrats
and Republicans, who were displcascd
with the radical tendencies of the lie
publican party and the Coppcrhcad af-
tilliations Of the Democracy, and who hoped
that the leaders of the Fourth of July
Convention would rise superior to the
old and cIlctc politics of the party, and
would nominate statcman in accordance
with the existing and accomplish politi-
cal facts I; having had tha, illusion dis
pellcd by the adoption of reputation
platform aud the nomination OF a consist
cnt opponent Of the war and its results,
do.
Resolve to recommend the iudorsc meni
of Gen. L. S. Grant for President, and
Schuyler Colfax for Vice President o!
the United States by the Central Chase
Club, believing that they more truly re-
present the views of a majority Of the 10y
al citizens of the United States than the
nominees Of the Democratic Convention
Thus the Democrats have thrown away
their only chance of success Seymour
aud Blair will gain no Republican votes,
and the Chase men are certain either TO
vote for Grant and Collax, or not to vote
az all.

sGy> One of the handsomest "rigs" We
have seen in many aday, and VIC DO not
remember TO have ever seen haudsomcr,
is the new buggy VIC saw in possession ol
our friend and townsman, Mr. john Ii.
Conner, few days ago. Upon inquiry
VIC learned that the buggy was built for
Mr.. &. at Dir. Valc1tinc kautz's cstab-
liahmcnt, at the corner Of Simpson and
Sarah streets. In all its appointments il
is perfect, and caused wonder in our
mind, as to the why and wherefore Of the
necessity Of our citizens going elsewhere
for work in that line when it can be pro-
cured so much better, ncatcr and cheaper
here at home. The fact Of the superb
oriiy of Mr.. kautz's turn outs over those
Of all other large manufactures in this
section Of country, is already securing him
orders from all quarters, aud it is ccr-
tainly a feather in his cap, that some Of
his best orders como from localities where
fancy carriage building has been spc-
ciality for years. The carriage in qucs-
ton, Mr. Conncr's, combines extreme
iiShtncss, with the greatest attainablc
strength plainncss of finish, yet rich
ness which is rendered doubly pleasing
by the absence Of all tawdrincss = great
beauty secured by its perfect symmetry
and graccfulncss of proportion : and an
case and comfort to the occupant, which
is only attainablc where the incest al
justment OF all its parts secures al equal
balance of the whole. And this is but
one Of the many vehicles which Mr.
Kautz is engaged in getting up, and
which sell SO rapidly that, thus far, it has
been found impossible TO keep ono in the
showroom long enough 10 satisfy the pub
lie that the best carriages and buggies
now running on our roads arc certainly
those which arc made here at homo. Iu
the get UP Of his work Mr. kautz is pc
culiarly fortunate in the workmcn which
he has around him. There arc none bet
ter TO be found anywhere. As a body
maker, Mr.. Stewart Winter certainly
stands at the head Of his profession = as

Ii is the skill of these workmen, COM
bincd with the careful supcrintendcnce,
and the liberal enterprise, of Mr.. Valcn-
tine Kauiz himself, which is building up
a species of manufacture in our borough,
which must tell in pccuniary point OF
view, and Of which our citizens may well
feel proud. We have spoken Of it thus
at length, because it is important that
the public should know what individual
