REBEL Element in Tennessee. y

Under the above original caption,
which, at the outset, itself sufficiently
bellies the article of which it is the tex
the Cincinnati Chronicle publishes &. se
distinct falsehoods in the following CHI ice
extract from that paper, of Thursday:
"a leading article in the Nashville
Banner, Of yesterday, advises resistance
by armed force to further execution of
the laws OF that State. and warns white
Republicans that on them. rather than
on the negroes, unr elenting vengeance
will be wreaked. Every effort will be re.
sorted to in order to create a reign of
terror, under the effect of which it is in
tended by the rebel Democracy to break
over all the barriers fixed by the suffrage
laws, and seize and hold control of the
Government
The Nashville Banner does not advise,
nor has it advised, resistance by armed
force to further execution Of the laws t"
of the State.
1t does mot warn anybody that "unre-
lenting vengeance will 'oe wreaked" Oh
them. Not every effr.rt nor any effort
"will be resorted to IN order to create a
reign of terror. by the people of Ten
fessee.
1t is not intepded "by the rebel De.
mocracJ," under the effect Of "a reign
of Serror," to "break over all barriers
fixed by the suffrage laws, and seize and
hold control Of the Government"
And there is not rebel element in
Tennessee, any more than there is an
element Of that sort in Ohio or Massa-
cbusetts.
The paragraph is tissue of gross
falsehoods from beginning to end-false
in every word and sentence-false in the
mischievous spirit in which it was con-
ceived, and wilfully tortured perversion
of leading editorial which appeared in
this paper of the 18th, every sentiment
of which we still entertain, and every ex
preston of which we reiterate with EN-
phasis, as the only true policy with which
further Radical aggressions in this STATE

cinnati Chronicle and its friends in Ten

operations to forestall the Presidential
election here by bsyonets will not be me

ARemarkable Invention.

IT is stated that German glass-ns.
ker has lately made q remarkable dis.
covery. He has invented a telescope,
or magnifying glass, by means Of which
the most intricate nerves and vessels in
side of the body may be seen from the
outside. In fact, the whole arrange.
ment and action of the interior organs
may, by means of this glass, be distins
guished
The discovery viii probably be Of i'm
menSe benefit to mankind, as by means
of it the physician will be able to deter
mine, with unVarying accuracy, the ma
ture of any particular disease, and the
proper manner for treating the same.
The name Of the inventor, who will
probably realize a fortune from his dis
eOvery, is GOttlieb Juntz. He is very
poor, but well-Iead and highly intolli.
gent man. He has an aged mother, an.
invalid wife, six children and q blind
sister, all dependent upon him for sup.
port. His mother vas well acquainted
with the poet Goethe, and it was pFUba.
bly, her many anecdotes of this illustri-
Gus person which first inspired her son
with a desire to do something to win
the respect and esteem of his fellow
men.
The glass he has made will probably
place him among the FIRST rank Of in7Un.
tors, and win for him the esteem Of
whole nations.
By means of this invention he has
already nearly cured his wife. SiR
months ago a Well-knoWn doctor said she
could not live, and pronounced her dis
ease to be an affection of the heart.
Juntz has, however, proven to him,
with the aid of the wonderful mieres
scope, that he was entirely mistaken
the stomach alone being the part affect
ed. We are eagerly looking for further
information regarding Juntz and his
wonderful glass.

We are tempted to tell the story Of a
DutcLmaa who made his entry into
New Orleans last summer while the
cholera was raging there, and was great
lY troubled in finding a boarding house
He inquired of the first one he saw if
they had the cholera In the house, and
learning that they had, he went to an
other, and another, determined not to
stop at any house where the disease was
doing its work of death. At last, after
a long and weary search, he found one
where there was no cholera, and be took
up his quarters there. The master Of
the house was a gOodly man, and had
family worship every night As all
we're assembled for that purpose, and the
master was offering prayer, he grOaHed
with some force aud ferVor, when the
Dutchman started up, and cried out:
40 Lord, vot ish ter matter?"
"Nothing," said the host, "keep still,
will you aud behave yourself"
In short time he groaned again, and
the Dutchman started, with his eyes
staring Ike saucefs, auu eGcialmed,
q Oh, mine Got! der is something der

and then to calm his boarder's appre-
hension, he added, "I'm a Methodist,
and it is the habit Of most Of the mem
bers Of the church to groan during their
devotions, and that is my way"
This was enough for the Dutchman,
who rushed into the street, asking for a
doctor, found one, and begged him to
run to the house on the corner.
What is the matter?" said the doc
tor "have you got the cholera ?"
"No, no, but worse; da-da got der

What WOmans Rights" Are.

IF woman step out of her sphere, and
demand to be and to do what men do, to
enter political life, to enter the profes-
sions; to Wrestle with US for Office and
employments and gains, she must under
stand that she will have to take the low
places as well as the high places of life.
She will not be allowed to be a man and
be treated with the tenderness due to
woman. If she goes to Congress, she
must also go to the heavy drudgery Of
earth.
claim then for her, that it is her
"right" to be treated with the utmost
love, respect, honor, and consideration
in her sphere. I claim that it is her
"right" to have every possible aid and
advantage to fulfill her mission. I claim
that she has "right" to be let alone
there, and not be tsased, or fattered, or
wheedled out of her place, and made to
believe what can never be.
She has "right then to be exempt
ed from certain things which men must
endure. It is her privilege and her
right. She ought to be exempted from
the hard drudgery of earth SIZE ought
not to be made sailor, to hang on the
yard -arms,-to chase and kill and try
up whales,-to be a surgeon, to pull
teeth, cut out tumors,-to 90 into the
mines, and dig ore and coal,-to burn
over the smsltering- furnace. She ought
not to be compelled to be a barber, a
boot black, to carry hOds or brick and
mortar up the ladder,-to be a soap
boiler, to groom horses, dig canals, dig
out peat, tan leather, and stir the tan
vats, s,-to make cofins and dig graves
to 90 to the Arctic Ocean for seals, or
to spend the long winter in the forest
cutting down timber, and in the snow
Water of spring to drive logs for hun
dreds of miles to get these logs out Of
their native forests. She ought not to
be made to butcher, bleed calves, knock
down oxen, stick swine, and slaughter
cattle. Now, she must 90 for all this, if
she leaves her sphere and tries to be
man. I claim that she has a "right"
to be exempted. But you may ask,
Has she not a natural right to enter any
and all employments as well as men?
Suppose we allow it, and admit that she
has natural right to wear jack-boots
and spurs, ,horse-pistols and a swords, and
be a complete soldier, and natural
right to sing bass and beat bass-drum,
and that men have q natural right to
wear peticoats, dress With low necks, and
