KNOXVILLE, August 2.-EX-Presi-
dent johnson spoke at, Maryville to-
day. A crow Of Radicals at the De-
pot greeted him with insulting re-
marks. .r II
While speaking the radical preach
er-whippers of Blount got up IA party
to mob Johnson, with the declared in
tention of breaking up the speaking
and riding him OH rail.
They made three charges on the
stand, but fell back awed each time
by the firm attitude of Mr.. Johnson
and his friends. There We're several
knock-down fights and considerable
tumult, but no blood shed.
Johnson spoke three hours, and
made n telling speech. The speech
was similar to his Others in the State.
He devoted an hour and q half to a
telling discussion of finances.

A HORRIBLE SUsPIcIoN.-We find
the following paragraph in the Mem
phis Appeal of Sunday:
Since our first publications but little
light has been thrown on the proba-
BILE casue of the recent terrible casli-
atty on the Clarksville Railroad. -
This little, however, leads to a suspic-
ion which for the honor of humanity
we hope may he speedily cleared up.
We are credibly Informed that some
of the people living in the neighbour
hood Of the accident have been
caught with property on them known
to belong to the deceased or wounded,
and it Is further said that the affair
was caused by the removal of a rail
or the saving of the trestle work by
certain parties who are strongly sus-
pected. So far nothing is known posi-
lively, but Investigations are now
progressing which will certainly de-
velop these things If they exist.

TIE address of Col. JNo. s. KERR,
upon the occasion of n barbecue at
ut Big Spring in Shelby county, pub
lished in phamphlet form at the
Ledger Office, has beer laid on our
table. The following paragraph OK
presses the common feeling of white
men:
"The black man has nothing to
fear, but all to hope for, in seeing the
real citizen, the true men of the State,
come into power and assume the di-
rection of public affairs. They are

Not the stranger, the alien, the adj
venturer? How could they, except
so long us selfish interest can he sub

hypocrites, false, wolves in sleeps
clothing, and the events of n very
near future will attest it. In every
true Southern heart there lives an ever
fresh and warm impulse of gratitude
and peculiar regard for that black
man TO whose fidelltyand good con-
duct, during the terrors of the bloody
years of war, the mother, the wife,
the sister, the daughter, owes her

Aud many a sick and wounded Con-
federate owes his escape to that firm
devotion which prompted his at

to give warning signal of the APP
proach of the enemy, whom he had
probably been watching through long
days and dreary nights Of cold and
rain. God bless the faithful black
man who i'm such times stood by the

The growing crop Of Cotton.

In the New York Commercial and
Financial Chronicle we find The fol-
lowing interesting speculation as to
the probable extent of the cotton
crop: ,a ~
Our reports this week with regard
to the growing crop are some of them
less satisf Glory than for any week of
the two months previous. In fact,
until very recently there has scarcely
been an unfavorable rumor from any
section of the South since the last Of
May. Now, however, from parts Of
Georgia and South Carolina we are
receiving proofs of injury to the crops
from drought. Corn has been evil
IDENTIFY injured and cotton also, it is
feared, where it was highly MANFRED.
This want of rain, however, has not
extended over the entire States named
but has been local and irregular, and
has been terminated within a few
days in some sections by copious
showers. What is the extent of the
harm done we can not now state
The unmanured cotton can bear long
dry weather when once established
and well grown as now; but where
guano was freely used there is fear of
blight. From portions of the same
States, and also from Alabama, ETC.,
we hear of the appearance of scatter
ing worms or caterpillars. There is,
however, little to be feared from this
source as long as the weather contin-
ues dry. In fact there Is no season
when worms can not be found in the
cotton fields.
If we We're to have long wet time,
so that fresh new shoots Were started,
the rain would be likely to breed
them and the new growth feed them
until they would become formida-
bic army as was the case last season.
But rs yet we see little to fear from
their appearance. With the excep-
tions noted above, all our reports this
week have continued favorable. =
The injury to cotton from the flood in
Texas is proved to be very limited,
while from the other portions of that
State and.from. Louisiana, Mississippi
and the West our advices are highly
satisfactory. We notice that the Ag-
ricultural Bureau states that statis-
ties which it has collected show the
area in cotton this year to be

would give 1888, 900 bales. We do
not by any means adopt these fig

growth; but we think it is generally
admitted that sufficient cotton has

Mr.. Clark replied ''that he did not sup.

| Dr. Mackey also, asserted that he
should, before giving up his Office, re-
quire receipt of every piece of brick
and marble about the building. He seem
ed to think that he could not be required
to give up the Office without receipts for
the property, remarking, that he did not
know but that five pipes of brandy would
be in MIR. Clark's cellar before night. Mr..

OF, are now in his (Dr. M.'s) cellar.
The interview thus terminated, as our

will be the upshot of the affair it is impos-
sible to say; it is probable, however, that
Mr.. Clark will await instructions from
the department before taking any further
steps. We can only shout with all the
vehemence of which we are capable,

we have it on record that when Mr.. Clark
called upon him on Wednesday, the late
Collector uttered the most abominable

in the category of impolite epithet. He
denounced the President in unmeasured
terms and bitterly, saying he had neither
the right nor power to remove or suspend
him. He gave Secretary Boutwell,
blow between the eyes, by shouting in
dignantly, aRthe top of his voice: "As
for the Secretary Of the Treasury, he is
no gentleman, and has none of the attri-
butes of a gentleman;" and finally wound
