PlOtS--PlOtS,

Tho following paragraph appears in
the Knoxville Press and Herald OF
Tuesday. We suspect there is nothing
in it, and that the whole business is a
tempest in q teapot, raised to keep up
if possible the Radical organization:
The Stokes radicals of this city have
received news from Nashville, which
has had the effect of creating the most
intense excitement among them. A
number of consultations were held at
the Office of prominent radical office
holder, the results of which have in
part TRANSFERRED. 1t is stated on the
most reliable authority that two sets OF
petitions have been prepared. One for
signatures by the members of the old
Legislature, calling that defunct body
to resurrection in Nashville, on Monday
September Goth, the other to be signed
by Stokes voters. and calls on the fede.
raj government to interfere in Tennes.

1t is asserted positively that Governor
Scnter has determined that he will no,
call the Legislature together in extra
session, and we guess the whole affail
will end with a very diminutive fizzle

AtrOciOuS Murder.

Washington dates give the following
account Of an atrocious murder:
Information has been received here
Of most atrocious murder by negroes
on the line of the Wilmington and Wei
don Railroad yesterday, at Whitaker's
Station, in North Carolina. For some
cause a recently-eected negro mag
istrate issued warrant for the arrest
of the railroad agent, named Griffin.
The warrant was delivered to party
of armed negroes with instructions to
take Griffin dead or alive, and with such
unequivocal authority they proceeded
in quest of the supposed delinquent.
On arriving at the railroad depot they
found their man, but without any de-
mand for his surrender to the hands OF
the law, they deliberately murdered
him on the spot. Griffin is said to have
been an estimablc young man and high.
ly respected by the community in which
he lived. The affair created the Wild
est excitement among the citizens in the
vicinity, who seemed for a while dis
posed to avenge summary this outrage
against justice and humanity. Better
counsels, however, prevailed, and writs
have been issued for the arrest of the
perpetrators of the deed, the sable JUS
tice who originated it being included in
the list,

a number Of Texans are at Washing
ton to appeal to the President to take
sides at once in the political contest in
that State. They say that nearly every
one of the office-holders there are sup.
porting Hamilton for Governor. If
they are not prescribed and removed,
they believe that Davis, the Radical
candidate, will be overwhelmingly de-

the President and Boutwell, and Cress-

A Horse Thief.

We find the following in the Ashc-

week:
A horse thief who says his name is
Watson, from McMinn county, Tennes-
see, was lodged in Jail at this place. on
Monday last, for stealing pair of mules
from Mr.. Mills Higgins. of Mcdowell
county, in this State, on the night Of the
Goth inst. From a small diary, which
the thief accidentally left in his hurry
while stealing the mules, Mr.. II. was
enabled to track him through this place
to Greene county, Tenn. He was taken
from our Jail on Tuesday, and is proba-
bly, now cogitating upon the dangers Of
horse stealing. in the Marion inil.

Jackson would have done. Give him
hard money and an open market Take
off your weight from him and let him
alone. What is needed then to restore
prosperity to labor and satisfactory re-
lations to capital? What is necessary
to alleviate the pressure of public bur-
dens and dispel the odium of the debt !?
And what must be had before we can
have national welfare, is return to
gold and silver currency. and reduc-
ton of the imports and exports to the
lowest point which our need for large
revenue will permit. The prosecution
of this demand is not alone theoretical
ly the peculiar province of the Demo.
cratic party. 1t is its traditional and
immovablc policy. TO it the men who
marched before us have been in sue
cceding clusters solemnly dedicated by
the utterances of their greatest states
men. The giant forms of Jefferson and
Madison, Monroe and Gallatin, Jack
son and Benton and Webster, all mar
shall the way for us, all in majestic ac-
cents cheer us onward TO honesty and

Senter and Stokes.

The Now York Herald is responsible
for the following.
Senter and Stokes are both waiting
for the return of General Grant to
Washington, in order to set him right
OIL the Tennessee election. Stokes
claims to represent the Republican par
ty. Senter claims to represent it, and
each proclaims the other an outsider.--
1t is a pretty kettle Of fish; but we can
not perceive how General Grant can
mend or change the results of the Ten
nessee election, nor under hat obliga-
ton he is to heal the broken bones of
Stokes. Brownlow says Senter is the
right man, and Brownlow is preacher

East Tennessee.

A newspaper friend in the Western
District is kind and thoughtful enough
to suggest, that as East Tennessee now
has the Governor, the Superintendent
Of Public Instruction, one Senator.
and also the Secretary of State, it
would perhaps best become her not
to ask for anything more at present"
1t would seem to look little that way
at the first glance, that's fact; but it
never occurred TO us before. 1t is for
tunate the election is to occur in the
early part Of the session, or there would
be no telling what might happen. Its
discussion has already driven almost
every other subject upon which the
Legislature will be called to act, from
the columns of the journals printed re-
mote from the rural districts. Ex-Presi-
dent johnson will hardly permit his
friends to take any step prejudicial to
peace and harmony at time like the
present, and he is as likely to take a
wholesome view Of the situation as any

The interest of the occasion and its
surroundings deepens. The following
comes among a batch of Washington
dispatches. Who knows but some of
us may yet live to see the estate of
East Tennessee" in the full tide Of sue
cessful operation. We trust there will
be NO contention as to where the seat of
government shall b" located. The dis
patch reads:
Information has been received here
showing that proposal will be made
at the next session of Congress TO Gre
ate two new States out OF old ones
one by cutting OIL East Tennessee from

or by taking portion of Arkansas and
