GUBERNATORIAL CANVASS.
Speaking In Giles and Maury.
Senter Picks the Bald Eagle.

By noon on Monday, the largest crowd
since 1855, had gathered at the Court
House in Pulaski, to hear the candidates.
Senter lead off in one of his happiest
efforts, making the feathers fly from the
bold eagle every lick he struck, causing
him to writhr under his lashings, as no
other candidate ever did in Tennessee.
Fully niue-tenths of the old citizens
cheered Senter from the start, and the
most enthusiastic applause greeted his
remarks throughout. We have seldom
if ever, seen any speaker realize more
fully that the people approved his posi-
ton, and that they would give himla
hearty support.
General Stokes attempted to follow.
but, after speaking short time, being
quite sick, he declined speaking, looking
extremely bad.
The legislative candidates made short
speeches. after which the rain dispersed
the crowd.
The people are alive in old Giles, and
we shall expect her to do her ful duty.
Her people are working. Fine crops are
growing. We acknowledge many kind
nesses extended to our representative.
SPEAKING AT COLUMBIA.
. The people of old Maury were out in
force yesterday at Columbia. 1t was the
largest assemblage there since the days
of Polk and Clay. They came in from
all parts of the county and surrounding
counties till the town was full. By II
they had assembled at the Athen9um
grove to the number Of about 5000.
Stokes had recuperated, and opened in
his best style and, we think, made the
best speech he has during the canvass,
but it was evident the people could not
relish the screams of the Bald Eagle.
Senter followed, and before he was near
through the crowd were fully convinced
that he handled his proud bird without
gloves. Hundreds declared that they
would not take the lashings, excavations
and abuse from Senter that Stokes had
to endure, to be Governor of ten such
States, and that he ought to fight-quit
the race or creep into hole.
The whole passed off as one more of
those splendid victories won by Senter
IN eacn successive udy VI tue canvass
Senter convinced the people that he Is
able not only to cope with, but to floor
his competitor with all his boasted ability
When through this race his prestige
will have vanished.
1t will be day long remembered in
Maury as the dawn of the day to free
the people.
By special request thetrain stopped at
Thompson, where large crowd had gath
cred, who called for Gov. Senter, and he
acknowledged the compliment in few
appropriate remarks, after which they
said the train could move on, as that was
all they wished.
A similar call was made at Franklin,
to which both candidates responded;
and also Col A. J. Upton, a candidate
for Superintendent Of Public lnstruc-
ton, who had also announced himself at
Pulaski and Columbia on the Senter and
Suffrage platform. The people are cnA
thusiastic on the subject that underlies
their liberties and their rights. Giles,
Maury and Williamson will give about
5 500 majority for Senter and suffrage.

A DIsgraceruI Negro Riot

CHARLESTON, July "a negro riot,
which at one time threatened very serious
consequence, occurred last night, on the
occasion Of the departure of visiting ba
ball club from Savannlh The club was
accompanied by brass band composed OF
colored men, said to be Democrats. As
the club WAS leaving the procession for the
Savannah. boat, they were attacked with
sticks, stones, etc, by mob of several
hundred men. Several shots were fired
on both sides.
Mayor Pillsbury was on the ground, bat
it is said he was powerless to qaell the
riot and he was compelled 10 call on
Mai Oglesby for assistance of the United
st lies troops. The club was then escorted
TO the boat between plstOOns OF oLh lntAn-
t,y, and was followed by large crowd
OF yelling and infuriated negroes, throw
ing stones and compelling the toldiers at
interals to turn and face about and threat
en- to fire. Several persons were wounded,
mostly members of the colored band. The

THE JEFF. DAVIS MANSION IN
RICH1OND.


The Richmond letter Of the Peterss
burg Index says:
"The title to the ownership Of the JEFF.
Davis mansion is likely soon to be
brought into litigation. The city OF
Richmond claims the building, and
committee appointed to investigate the
matter reports that it is undoubtedly
ours. On the ether hand the United
States government claims it as captured
property of the Confederate States. The
house was purchased in 1861 for SAT 900
by the city council, with the view OF
making the Conlederacy present OF 1t
and it was offered to Congress, but by
them politely declined, the government
then being flush and having determln-
ed to accept of no such gratuities from
individuals or corporations, but agreed
to rent it for President Davis's term Of
office. 1t did rent it, but whether any
money was really collected for it we are
not informed. In 1867, upon the organ"
ization of General Rosser's Southern
Orphan Association, an offer was made
to the council to purchase the mansion
with a view of rafting it off in the
scheme. The council agreed to sell, but
all proceedings fnrther than this were
abruptly terminated by the government
declining to surrender the property and
asserting its legal claim to it as 'aban'
doned property Of the sO-called Confeder
rate States Thus the matter has stood
for some time. 1t has been determined
to serve bill for rent upon the govern
ment, and if payment is refused motion
for a writ OF ejectment will doubtless
be made, when the whole question
(Which seems very plain) may be argued
before court of competent jurisdiction
and the matter finally settled"

A FRIGHTFUL SCENE.
Fifteen Hundred Children In
Danger.
Great Excitement Among Pa
rents and Friends.
A Jubilee Programme Broken
up by the Falling OF q Stage.
From tho Cleveland Plain Dealer.


One of the most startling affairs
occurred at the Rink on Friday
night, July %, that ever took place
in this city. A circular tier of seats,
rising one above the other to a
height of 30 feet, covered with the
sweetest portion of humanity
fifteen hundred children-gave way,
precipitating hundreds of them to
the floor below. Those upon the
highest seats scampered, pell-mell,
toward the bottom, while these at
the bottom fed toward the audience,
meeting the great crowd OF ex-
cited friends pushing to the res
cue of the children. For q mo-
ment the scene was like unto a
great railroad disaster when the
force of the situation has been
realized. 1t was not marked with
that death like stiffness which is
characteristic of the first moments
of such an accident, for the chill
dren had time to realize what was
coming as they went down. So..had
the parents. The expressions OF
profound horror commenced in-
stantly and simultaneously on both
sides. For several minutes the
scene beggared description. Every
body wanted to help the children,
and all the children wanted to go
to their mothers. Some of them
were very small, perfect fairies IN
form and dress, hence the extreme
solicitude. The crash of breaking
timbers, coming SO suddenly upon
this scene of beauty-sweetly
smiling, well-dressed children
sent forked darts of terror
through the building that blanched
every cheek. Without stopping
to survey the probable'result OF the
catastrophe, a large number of per-
sons in the vicinity of the doors
attempted the difficult feat of making
an exit all at the same time, sup
posing the building was coming
down. Some time elapsed before
quietude came over the surging,
panic-stricken crowd. 1t was the 4
ascertained that the defective por-
ton of the seats proved to be in the
center of the tiers, halfway from
bottom to top. The defect could
not have been located in a more
fatal spot. The tendency OF de-
preston at that point was to pitch
all the children toward the center,
Fortunately the extreme ends were
more staunchly braced, saving those
seated there from all danger. Little
hats, handkerchiefs, scarfs, books,
| fans, feathers and Juvenile 'fixlns
of all sorts were picked up from the
debris and saved to be reclaimed
Beyond some severe bruises, the
accident was not attended with any
serious results.

Senator Wilson ON the Election
Interesting Political Statements
Formation of n ReeOnsirnetiOp Party
in the SOnth, etc.
Senator Wilson, of Massachu-
sets, publishes in the New York
Independent his views on the result
of the late election in Virginia, to-
gether with some interesting state
ments in connection with efforts to
establish a reconstruction party IN
Virginia and the South, under Re-
publican League auspices, from
which we make the following ex-
tracts:
The Virginia election eXcites
hopes and fears, neither of which
NAV be realized. Although the
Democrats had neither principles,
party, nor candidates in that cleo
ton. and the supporters Of Mr..
Walker unqualifedly accepted the
policy of reconstruction, Demo
cratic presses at the North rejoice
over the result as victory That
it is no victory for the Democracy
is clear to the comprehension OF all
who understand the condition OF
affairs in that State. Whether or
not it shall be made SO, depends on
the future. 1t may inure to the
benefit of the Democratic party; or,
by wise and prudent action, it may
become the occasion and afford a
| foundation of a large and powerful
political organization which shall
| fully accept the logical results OF
the rebellion, restore to the Old
| Dominion something of what she
madly threw away, and make heI
what she should be-a great and
glorious commonwealth. x
The Legislature was in session
when these reconstruction acts were
passed. Gov. Piorpont was ex,
ceedingIy anxious not only to re
construct the State, but to build VI
a Republican party in favor o
granting equal rights to colore(
men, establishing schools for tn,
education of the children of bot
races, and fostering internal i'm
provements. Some of the stronges
men in the State, in and out OF tn
Legislature, agreed with him, an
