Referring to the address between the
President and Gen. Grant, the papers
mention the embarrassment on the part
of the latter attending the Observance OF
an ala custorn, or matter OF official ETH
ouette on New Years day'in Washing
Ton viz: The call on the President,
which ali of the officials Of the army and
navv stationed in Washington are ex-
pectsd to make on that day. 1t Is sug-
gested that Grant by his absence from
The city on Friday will be relieved OF his
embarrassment. There is another Gus
tom observed between outgoing and in
coming Presidents that, If observed on
the 4th of March, will renew the kind OF
embarrassment referred to, viz: On that
day the outgoing President NOTIFIES
his successor Of his readiness to accom-
papy the latter to the capitol and does seat
the latter in the executive carriage and
drive him to the place assigned for his
Inauguration to take place Ii General
Grant declines to come in contact with
President johnson on New Years day
because of the unpleasant feeling between
them. the same excuse will in all proba-
bility induce him to wish to avoid meet
ing with Mr.. johnson on the 4th OF
March. Probably this embarrassment
NAV be overcome consistently with Gen:
Grants practice of avoiding prepared
oyations and ceremonies he may de-
cline the inauguration ceremony, and
quietly take the oath of the Executive be-
fore a competent officer, even justice OF
the peace, and as quietly take possession
of the White House. Courier Journal

Momentary Insanity.

From IF. Emeral." in the N. Y. Citizen.l
There is Commodore Meade, who was
sent TO the asylum aud kept there be.
cause his wife pronounced him insane,
on the ground that he did not like being
put on the retired list Of the navy. What
better proof of insanity could be desired
Here was the gallant Commodore de-
prived of his ship, and sentenced to live
at home with Mrs. Meade. You can't
make landsman out of a sailor, and the
Commodore naturally objected to ex-
changing the billowy main for the agra
waiting Meade. However much he may
have priced the golden need referred to
by the poets, the female Meade was evil
IDENTIFY too much for him. He claimed
that after living at home with her for a
few months, he BECAME insane. 1t is
only reasonable 10 suppose that he did 7;
out the court TO whom the question Of
his sanity was submitted pronounced
him sane, on the ground that he had
committed no crime. Had he killed a
man or forged check, his insanity would
have admitted of no deubt; but as be is
simply an honest old gentleman, the
court failed 10 ind any proof of his in
sanity.
Then there is Deacon Andrews, WHOM
his counsel regarded as being as mad as
o March hsre-though why hare, who
never commits any crime whatever,
should be called mad, either in March or
September, does no. appear. He, too,
gas condemned to sanity by the court,
Rot because he was innocent of murder,
but because the admission of the possible
insanity of deacon would strike at the
very foundation Of Connecticut society.
The whole social, political and religious
fabric Of New England, rests on a sub
stratum Of deaeons Once shake the
popular confidence in the deacon, and
New England goes TO everlasting smash.
OF course, as New England man, it is
possible fer deacon TO leave no stone
unturned TO make money, even though
he uses the disturbed stone to cave in q
neighbor's skull; but then his mental
soundness must be above dispute. GOOD
gosh" cried the Connecticut jury, are
we to have crazy deacons among US 2
Not BY q dArned sight" So they found
Andrews sane in spite of his having COM
mitted murder.
And lastly, there is General Cole, who,
having killed his man without exteHua-
ting circumstances, was found guilty Of
Douentary insanity. BE was sane just
before and just after his finger touched
the trigger; but at that fortunate mo-
ment be had 3 temporary alteration.

THE LEGISLATURE,
FIOateriaI District.

NASHVILLE, July /, 1869.-To The peo-
pie of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery
and Cheatham counties: Solicitations by
letter and in person received for the past
few weeks from every county in this float
erial district, and representative, as am
induced to believe, Of the solid and sub.
stantial portion Of the constituency, have
brought me forward az a candidate for
your suffrages for seat in the next Legis-
lature.
In obedience to these calls, hereby an
nounce myself candidate, and propose
to meet assemblies of the people on every
proper occasion before the 5th of August.
/ do not affect that l do not desire to be
elected, though, for myself | could more
probably employ the time. But, believ-
ing that I understand the immediate
business necessary for the promotion of
the interests of the people of the district,
and that some previous legislative expe-
rience has qualified me for the position,
offer myself
am in favor Of the most prompt ac-
ton that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature,o or the people in their sovereign
apacity under the Bill of Rights. or all
onjoined, TO secure the assembling OF
Convention at the earliest practi-
able moment, to amend the con-
titotion and laws, and remove
all existing disabilities in regard to the
elective franchise. The most feasible plan
conformable to law, is the best, and the zone
will favor by vote and voice. The priv
ileges now enjoyed BY any portion of the
community, / do not propose to disturb.
The business interests of this constituent
cy in several important features demand
legislation. The mercantile community, in
my judgm en- needs a representative who
coDprehends their wants and sympsthizes
with their condition under present lave.
The general economic interests of the peo-
pie in every pursuit. while requiring
broader and more liberal legislation, should
be under the discipline of slricter statutes,
and such measures shall receive my sup
port.
In this brief card, these are all the
points necessary to alluded to, but 10 be.
coming a candidate expect to meet voters
of every kind and deal frankly, and with
this view, lay my name before you.
If RESPECTFULLY, r. B. CHEATHAM.

A TRUTH OF HISTORY


The subjOined eloquent extract is made
from an address recently delivered by
Col. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, who, if
we are not mistaken, commanded cav
airy brigade in the Confederate army
The occasion of the address was the
dedication of monument erected to the
Confederate dead. 1t is an eloquent
tribute to the heroism of the South, and
should be preserved with our cherished
memories:
The contest was most unequal one
the South fought at every disadvantage.
With a white population o. less than ten
millions and half; with an transferring
population of less than nine hundred
thousand; Maryland, Missouri, Tennes-
see, Kentucky and Virginia divided;
without regular soldier or q military
organization; without q ship or navy
yard; but with few guns, and they Of
inferior quality, and not a mandatory
where any part of gun or any part Of
its ammunition could be made; without
money or organized credit; cut off from
all the world, in whose markets she was
not allowed to purchase even the medi>
cines for the sick; insulated from all
mankind, and even thrust out from
ali sympathy; encomposed with
vastly outnumbering foes, whose
armies daily recruited from every
nation under the sun, were sup~
piled with every appliance Of warfare and
every possible comfort as we'll as neces>
sary every harbor closed with watching
war vessels, and every stream occupied
by hostile gunboats her soldiers hungry,
ragged and barefooted, she yet fought
with such tremendous power, and was
welded with such skill, that the ex~
penditure Of money to conquer was more
than would have purchased every foot Of
her lard, every house in her cities and
villages, every slave on her plantations,
and all her property of every kind and
the killed and permanently disabled Of
her enemies amounting to more than her
entire armies during the whole struggle.
You may search history in vain for

The Emperor, it is said. is willing to
abandon the arbitrary power which he has
