SpectaI Despatch TO The EUenin0 telegraph.
NASHVILLE, April 1.-Advices from Greenvlle
state that ex-President Johnson is recovering
from his recent sickness, aud that he will speak
in Knoxville next Saturday. On the Tues lay
or Wednesday following he will be in Nashville,
and address what promises to be the largest
crowd ever assembled in the City of Rocks.
1t is definitely ascertained that Mr.. johnson
IS strongly opposed to the Democratic guberna-
tora canvass, with the franchise left as 1t Is by
the Supreme Court, and the Republicans pre-
senting an unbroken front. Defeat, he thinks
would under the circumstances badly damage
the conservative cause-possibly put off en-
franchisement for two or three years. The
object of his forthcoming address is intended
more as a sort of review OF vindication of his
Presidential career than campaign speech.
If there is any possible chance OF conservative
success, however, in direct canvass, Mr.. john
son is bound to give his stump efforts a
direction that will have direct effect. few
weeks will determine whether or not there
will be canvass.
Nearly all the militia scattered throughout
the State have been recalled to Nashville. This
is caused by the general quiet throughout the
State, and from the earnest appeals to that end
made by the leading men of all political shades.

Romance Of the Crevasse

A romance of the Chicot Noil
crevasse is told in the New Or
leans papers. The belle of a neigh.
boring country-seat on the banks
of the river, was assiduously court.
ed by two eligible young gentle.
men, to one of whom she gave her
heart, but to the other her pa.
rents insisted upon giving her
hand. She vainly demonstrated
but the day was fixed, the party
assembled, and the unfortunate
girl, in a bewildered and half un-
conscious state, compelled to ''stand
up" for the ceremony. Just as
the clergyman approached that
part of the services which required
her assent, there came a roar and
a crash. The river had burst its
bank close to the house. The
guests fled in terror, the bride
tainted before she had said 81 will" "
and the rejected suitor rushing in,
carried her of, and before night
had her safely married. The 9th
er, who had promised on his part
to love and cherish, without re-
ceiving a reciprocal pledge, thinks
of prosecution. 5F ,,a

Virginia Politics.

A Radical observer Of things
in Virginia declares that no Nor
thern politician could conceive of
the condition of affairs in the Rad
ical party there. The charges
of Competing Adventures, "
seem to have too much foundation
In many of the districts the col
ored people are in a majority, and
here the greed cf Office Is more
distinctly manifested. Those per-
sons who own nothing, in many
instances not even a character
that is of any credit to possess,
work themselves into the conf
dence of the colored people, and
by their seeming devotion to their
interests, receive nominations for
the various Offices of the State,
from Congressman down. In one
Congressional District in that
State there are three candidates
forC Congress,alI Republicans. r Each
was determined to have the nomi-
nation. The Convention was called
and the friends Of one candidate
met in one place and the friends
of another In another place, and
here they could select their choice
without being disturbed by any
rivals. This is a new plan and Is
only known to or prscticed by
Virginia Republicans. This is
fruit of negro equality
and reconstruction seed. Let it
grow q little longer, and there
will be no Radical Party.

The Minneapolis Tribune says,
cit will be remembered that some
time during last March Mr.. E. Du
Larens was put off the cars on the
st. Paul and Pacific Railroad be-
tween this city and st. Paul, for
not paying the extra ten cents fare
In accordance with the rules of the
company, which is required to be
. collected of all passengers who do
not procure tickets before starting,
Du Larens paid the regular fifty
cents fare, but the conductor de-
manded the additional ten cents,
and upon being refused, stopped
the train, and put him off,
Du Larens then walked to st. Paul,
and Immediately commenced suit
aginst the railroad company for
damages. The case has just been
tried before the District Court cf
Ramsey county, at st. Paul, and
the jury on Friday evening return
ted averdict for the plaintiff of
$500 and costs"

The San Antonio Express has
seen the eighth wonder of the
world. 1t says that Judge Nc
Willie brought with him to that
city, from the city of Mexico, ga
vegetable beetle, the same form
but little smaller, than the COM
mon beetle. The vegetable beetle
knocks around the world a cer-
tain length of time, and when it
is tired it burrows in the ground
with its head up. After being in
this position a given period lit
tie stem shoots out from between
the eyes; this stem branches out
in five prongs; on the end of each
prong a beautiful cluster of little
pink flowers make theil appearance
the whole five clusters being a
little smaller than a half dollar.
These flowers finally drop, each
containing seed, which eventual
ly becomes q beetle" The Gal
weston Cioilian thinks this discov-
cry would have done credit to the
Savans of the New York Farmers
Club.

"Well, 1 can't help it," said the
countryman, '.if you don't, ! must

To prevent bis paper from get

What they would Like to
Do.

Last week a Radical mass
meeting was held in the Capitol
Square at Richmond, and Col
Walker delivered speech, accept.
ing the nomination of the so-calIed
conservative republicans, for Gov.
ernor of the State. After the
meeting adjourned, a negro radi.
cal meeting was organized, and
was addressed by Gov. Wells,
(who has since been suspended
for mail robbery and the notori-
Gus negro Lewis Lindsay. The
Richmond Examiner says:
Lewis Lindsay, negro, took the
stand, and made one of the most
imAammatory harangues. He
said the white man had the negro
down for two hundred years, but
that now the negro was on top
They had in their hands the chains
and manacles with which the
white man had kept the negro
bound for SO long, and they intend
ed to put them on the white man,
and to make him groan, and
sweat, and work, before they were
done with him. He said Gen.
Grant knew something about tam
ming and would help them to tan
the white man until his skin was
as black and tough as theirs. He
was SO violent that Fields Cook
had to interfere to check him. Vi
olent as he usually is, he outdid
himself in his expressions of ran
cor and venom against white men
on this occasion.

\ SUMMER SHOWER

The dustis flying here and there,
In funny little whirls;
The leaves are turning upside down
The breeze among them swirls.
The cows are lowing in the lane,
And window shutters creak
Rumble, rumble, rumble,
The clouds being to speak.
A shiver runs along the brook,
And leaden grows the sky;
The sunshine falls mile away,
Then shuts up like an eye.
You couldn't find bird or bee,
In upland, vale, or plain
Patter, patter, patter,
The bulging drops of rain.
The chickens hide beneath the shed,
And wear their ruffled capes;
The very weather this for ducks,
To. show their waddling shapes.
From yonder farm a rooster gives,
A dull, despairing crow;
It's raining, raining, raining,
Over there, We know.
The grass has grown deeper green,
The sky a darker hue;
And, 0, we little know the good,
A summer shower can do
The birds are singing loud and clear,
And this is what they say:
Come out, come out, come out again!
The clouds are gone away !"
