WHEN we read a-dAy or two before
the meeting OF Congress- that the Hon.
Horace Greeley had been to see the
President, we expected to see some
favoriIe measure or policy Of his recon.
mended In the message; and when MP.
on reading the message we found an
earnest recommendation for the repeal
OF the FrankinE Privilege. for which
MIR. Greeley has been laborlug ever
since we can remember, we concluded
that had been at least a part OF uorace's
business at the White House. Now we
ind the following paragraph In the
Tribune Of Monday. u. /.
The Presidents Annual Message Ia
ready and will :bssent In to-day. Il ia
Que OF the shortest that has been writ
ten since the days OF James Madison.
We believe Ito recommendations will
be generally accepted as Iudlolous, and
that Virginia, In accordance Herewith,
Will speedily be represented In both
Houses, and RENTED to complete self
government.
From which Il is apparent that Mr..
Greeley was one Of the few men who
were taken into the Presidents conf
deuce and who knew In Advance what
WAS In the message. The President
might have had worse advisers, but he
could not have made better recom-
mendation than that for abolIshIne the
outrageous abuse referred to. But Con-
Eress Is not likely to do It, nor anything
else that will lessen liz perqulsitea OF
electIoneerlng material,

some criticism Of the Presidents mes-
sage that seems to. us hypercrIticRl. It
deYoIes Itself chiefly TO 1ne points
against its weak places as a literary
production, showing that the Presi-
dent has not displayed fine percep-
ton OF the prophecies Of style, has been
seltconsclouS, and has INDUCED little
egotlSm and spread-eagle. In the main
the Commercials sharp points are fair
ly taken. But while these amuse the
reader-rather, however, at the acute-
mesa OF the editor than ut the obtuse.
ness OF the President-thls kind Of
oritiolsm on such document as
Grants message 10 Feally very harm
less. People care nothing about these
trihes. What the American nation 10
concerned about Is, whether Grant ls
sound on the main questions with which
he and Congress have TO deal; and
on all that are at all vital, we find
him, In his own phrase, " about right. !"
This being so, II he makes himself In.
telligihle It Is enough. II he were q
corrupt, scheming, hypocrItlcal dsma-
gogne, the country would be In danger
though he wrotsimore courtly English
than Chesterfield or more IncIsive
han JANUS. But while he is a sincere,
honest, single.mlnded man, who only
seeks to do his simple duty,-to enforce
The laws impartIally, to collect the reve-
nues without fear and apply them with.
out favor, to retrench, economic and

perty against wrong, restore prospect.
ty and cultivate peace, with straight.
forward, uuselhsh aud unwavsrlng
purpose, nobody will be seriously dis.
turbed by lapses In the style or crudIty
In the thought OF his written commu-
nicatlons. ..a..
It Is because these things are true that
all the fine sarcasm leveled at the Pre-.
sldent by such journals as the New
York World falls harmlessly to the
ground. People may be amused by II
but they care nothing about 1t.
The Commercial does, however, re.
cognize some solid merit In the message,
for 1t thinks Its treatment OF the Cuban
question "clear and just" and of the
Alabama claims "considerate and dig.
niaed." Its point on the President,
that his best way to secure the repeal
Of the odlous Tenure Of Office law Is 10

l will try and give you a brief his
tory OF some OF the acts and doIngs OF
small quad OF people In this county,
Through the strong solicitations 81
nearly all Of the Republicans In this
county, I agreed to be candidate for
the Legislature. Capt. Putnam wished
TO DO elected again, land he soon found
out that II the people. all got to. vote
who. were on the Reglstrar's books he
would be defeated. We soon found
him In secret convention with the Board
OF Registration, (which he has fully az
his control,) the result Of which wAH
upwards OF sixty OF our best Union
men were noticed to come before the
Board OF Registration and prove their
loyalty. And q good many OF them
were men who had discharges from the
United States army, which produced
quite an excitement among the people.
When the day OF trial came on, the
most Of the men appeared to stand their
trial. One OF the Board resigned and
would not set, 30 two OF them met, and
after some time they concluded that
the men were not legally noticed,
and promised them that their
names should all remain upon
the Registrars books until they were
all legally noticed again. Capt,
Isaac Brown, who was one OF the sixty
they had noticed, told the Board that II
bis name was stricken from the regis
trar's books that their soalps would
pay Tor IT, The Board adjourned, and
very little was said about It By the
Board or the Putnam squad. Capt,
Putnam would not as much 90 say that
he was candidate. He went OF say.

election he returned to Summersville
and told that he did not intend to be q
candidate. So II was thought l was 10

1t is proclaimed at the street-corners and
from the house.tops that Squire Jim. Baker
and Brother Long, two legislative candidates
of whom mention was made last week, have
been retired with the view of placing Col. L.
w. Burge, of Athens, on the track for Repre-
sentative. This movement of the Athenian
manipulators evidently means business, and
will probably result in giving the nomination
tomorrow to the gentleman named. AS goes
Athens so go the rural districts. "Lct US
havcpeace." The Convention will also nomi-
nate candidates for the State Senate and Joint
Representative. Mlt. Phillips, of Athens, is
thought to be the strongest man for Senator,
and Sam. Henderson, of Athens, will most
likely be rendered the place for Joint Repre-
sentative by way of compensation for the loss
of the Scnatorship. Under all the circum-
stances this is an admirable arrangement, and
about the only one that will allay and prevent
great upheaval of the disturbing elements
now at work in the Radical party of McMinn
county. We repeat Let us have peace"

Calhoun Masonic Iustltute.

Dear Post: Friday, the 18th instant, closed
tho Examination At this Institute. The exer.
ciscs were conducted through the entire week,
something unusual in this section. Mr.. II.
Cate, the Principal, has done himself and the
community much honor by giving thorough
exhibition Of the progress made in his School.
The prominent feature of the Institution Is
solidity, as evinced by the exercises Of the
week; and many were the encomums passed
upon the fair dealings of the occasion. There
were several classes in the advanced Sciences,
and they acquitted themseve, admirably. A
portion Of Friday evening was devoted to
speeches from the little folks; and at 8, P. NJ,
the speaking commenced in earnest. There
was number Of speeches, q large proportion
Of which were original and showed thought,
study and Judgment. A prize was to be
awarded to the best declaimer. Mr.. William
Spring, of Sequatchie, and Mr.. VIM. Temple
ton, of Charleston, were adjudged to be the
best; but the committee did not decide be-
tween these two, and prize was awarded to
each. The young ladies had much of merit in
their compositions, and this part of the exer-
else was excellent. Before the close, the young
people gave the audience an entertainment in
the way Of comic speeches, dialogues, &C., and
many hearty laugh was the result.
Mr.. Cate continues the School the next year,
and the exercises which have just passed be.
speak for him large patronage. Those seek
ing solid and useful instruction cannot do bet.
ter than attend this Institution. p.

things cry in Church, get up and go out, and

livery stable, chew and spit, and never come
back TO the Church until the splitting is all
