Festival.-The g Festival" Season is
now at its height, and from all quarters we
have news of Strawberry Festival, and Ice
Cream Festivals, generally held for the
benefit of Church or Sunday School. This
is one of the annual periods i'll which an
attack is made on the gastric organs of man
for charity's sake, and his pocket is emptied
for the sacred cause of the Church. The
Festival for the benefit of the Methodist
parsonage opened in the Odd Fellows Hall
on Thursday evening and will be continued
this evening" Notwithstanding the unfa-
vorable weather, the committee ''took in ;"
$50 the first evening. and hope to make
''handsome thing Of it.
There was a colored festival held i'll the
upper rooms of the Court House on Thurs
day evening, which was a kind of an adj
iourned picnic, which was to have been
held i'll the woods somewhere in the vicinity
of the towil, but the weather proving i'll
propitious, they got the use of the Court
House. We have not learned how they
made out but are informed that quite a
large number of "wild niggers" from a
distance were in attendance, who were not
much of an improvement on our regular
Saturday night barrens gangs. They kept
up the ''rub-a-dub KHAKI till late hour.

Wedding in Church.-Elkton. on We'd
nesday morning last, had the sensation of
a wedding in church. Mr.. w. B. Ham
mond of West Chester, the happy bride
groom, led Miss. Sophie c. Aldridge, of
Elkton, the happy bride, to the altar. At
half past eight, the hour appointed for the
ceremony to take place, the bridal party
entered the church where the minister stood
ready to make the indissoluble tie. The
house by this time was well filed with
spectators-ladies being largely in the as
cendent. On the stand in front of the
bride handsome boquet of choice flowers
had been arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
assisted by the cunning hands of the az
tistic Andrew d. Alexander. The bride
looked very pretty" sweet" the ladies
say-as all brides should do.
The ceremony was remarkably short. the
minister dispensing with every thing having
the appearance of supertuity, which is a
decided improvement on the old custom of
keeping the frightened couple standing a
quarter of an hour while prosy lecture is
delivered at them about obligations which
they don't remember word Of three min
utcs after. While the bride was all smiles,
seemingly the very embodiment of bliss ex-
pectant, the groom seemed to feel an in
tense realization of the new responsibilities
he was assuming and looked the most
frightened man we ever saw As soon as
the last word was pronounced he made
"right about face with his better hall
on his arm and started for the door, The
ladies in the pews opening on the middle
aisle, made a flank movement on the young
couple, and the impatient groom was inter,
rupted considerably in his preccpitate re-
treat by volley of kisses coming from lady
friends, which, however, the smiling bride
received with the utmost nonchalaRce on hcl
own rosy lips, and thus effcctually protect
ed her lord from all danger from that quar-
ter. May her good genius always interposc
a barrier to every threatened calamity.

Fire.-An alarm of fire was raised, on
Thursday, about noon, caused by smoke
issuing from a tenant house, belonging to
Mr. d. E. Burton. on Collins Lane. A
rush was made for the place, but on ascend
ing to the second story, the room where
the fire was, was filled with such dense
volume of smoke that it was impossible
to enter. \ cat-tail bed was discovered to
dow Water was slashed into the room
full of smoke, and the furniture was all
thrown out of both the house supposed to
be on fire, and the adjoining one, dishes
broken, and beds and bedding rolled in the
mud, and general destruction made, with
the ostensible purpose Of saring it. Finally
the windows were torn out of the smoky
room, and it was at last discovered that the
fire was confined to the bed that had been
removed The old engines were on the
ground by the time it was discovered that
the smoke all originated from the bed
The engines proved, as they have so often
demonstrated before, that they were en-
tirely unreliable and worthless for extin-
gushing fire; and had the house actually
proved to have been ON fire, ladder or
two, together with the buckets which were
gathered, would most probably have been
the means of extinguishing the tiames.-
If not the house would undoubtedly have
burned down, for the engines were of no
account whatever. Will the Town Com
missioners provide two or three light lad
ders, some buckets and hooks, or continue
to be deluded by those miserable old fire
engines? If engines are provided for the
safety of the town, let them be the patent
portable fire extinguishers. These are al
ways kept charged with a fluid which will
Immediately extinguish flame if touched
by it. One man can carry one as easily
as a bucket of water, and throw a
stream thirty feet, which can be directed
by a nozzle into any crews or corner de
sired. A small boy had got hold of some
matches and set the bed on fire, which
caused the alarm of fire, and consequent
destruction to the furniture of the tenants.
The house, being doub lie one is occupied
by Amos Wilson and James II. Fulton.

A FIRE In THE REAR.

Tho times are fullof portents, not
the least significant of which is that
the Knoxville Whfg, Brownlow's old
paper, and in which he is still a
large stakeholder, has come out for
Senter for Governor. There is a
reason for this that lies down deep
er than the surface. Less than
three months ago some East Ten
nesseans drew from Mr.. Stokes
letter in which he declared GEM
phatically that he is not, nor never
has been, and don't know that he
over will be" in favor of universal
suffrage. He was thus emphatic in
his reply to their inquiry, because
he aspires to govern this common
wealth, and to waver in the least
would lose him the support of
'loyal East Tennessee" But he
was not content with this declara-
ton of his present and future in
tentions touching the DISTINGUISHED
citizens Of this State. He told his
interrogators that "when the kills
ing of Union men ceases, the
hellish organization known as Ku-
Klux disbands, and the laws are
observed" he would then be "will-
ing to amend the State constitution
so as to allow the DISTINGUISHED to
come in gradually" This would
not endanger the Republican par
ty," he said, "for the reason that it
would require a two-thirds vote of
each house to remove their disabili
ties. and he felicitated his inter
rogators as we'll as consoled himself
with the reflection that 1T will be
some time before the Conservative
Democracy will have such a
majority" His only fear was,
if the DISTINGUISHED were let
in, not that they would en-
danger the peace and quiet of the
the State or its credit, but the hold
of the Radical party on the offices.
This position pleased the Radicals
of East Tennessee, and in the larger
portion of their county meetings
their delegates to the State con
vention were instructed to vote for
the nomination of Stokes. Every
thing went on swimmingly for
Stokes until he came to Nashville
to answer Andrew Johnson. He
came here to talk TO the people of
Middle Tennessee, and this people
are as essentially different in their
sentiments and disposition from
those Of East Tennessee as if they
were another race of beings. Mr..
Stokes is either shrewd enough to
appreciate this fact, or in the ex-
element of the moment forgot his
pledges to the Radicals of East |
Tennessee, for he took such ground |
in favor of the enfranchisement of |
this people as to create a consider
able futter among the faithful in
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-04-27
RADICAL aINCRRITK

Mr.. A. w. Pile, who was exceed
ingly anxious to be appointed Min
lister to Brazil, should by this time
be thoroughly Disguised with his
Radical brethren. 1t appears from
papers on file in the State Depart
ment, that Piles nomination was
made upon the strength of letters
signed by 8 large number of Repre-
sentatives and Senators, who say
theydesire the success of the Nilsson
ri delegation in urging the appoint
ment of Pile, because his unquestion-
ed integrity, ability and fidelity to
the government eminently fit him
for the place, and his appointment
would be a suitable recognition of
his services in the army and to Re
publican principles, and they soil
cited the early and favorable con
sideration of the matter. Messrs.
Cattel, Carpenter, Cragin, Drake,
Edmunds, Harlan, Howe, Harris,
Kellogg, Mcdonald, Nye, Patter-
son, Rice, Schurz, Upton, Thayer,
Wilson, Williams and Wiley. Of
these Cragin Harris, Mcdonald,
Patterson and Wilson voted against
him when the case came up. So
much for Radical sincerity.

the East. Addressing the disfran-
chissd il his speech here, be said
aIf yoa disiranchised people win moys
along quietly aud keep from stirring nps
STRIFE, / assure you that ihe deg ID mot
far distant when whatever chains have
been put upon you viii be lifted off y
A clap Of thunder from a clear
sky would not have astonished the
East Tennesseans more than did
this avowal of their chosen cham
pion. "Stokes is in favor of en-
franchising the Rebels" ran along
the lines of the faithful in that sec
ton 1t produced its work quick,
and the rebound is in the shape of
an espousal of Senter for Governor
by the Knoxville Whig, which is
partly nedby Senator Brownlow.
Stokes made the canvass for Brown
low against Etheridge two years
ago, and this is the return he gets
for that labor of love. The ball
has been set in motion, and if
Stokes does not watch his points,
he will be tricked out Of the nom
ination by the same parties who
defeated his senatorial aspiras
tions in the fall of 1867. This
is decidedly an ugly fire from
the rear. Stokes had fixed matters
with East Tennessee, and then
turned to right affairs down
this way. His movements down
here appear to be regarded with
suspicion by the "loyal" of East
Tennessee. They think he is CO..
quoting too much with the disfran-
chised, and that he is holding out
too strong hope that their letters
| will be removed at an early day
They no doubt argue that Sentel
has never proclaimed SO "disloyaP'
a sentiment, and that he has with
stood all the appeals addressed te
him to act as statesman and thus
hold himself above the mere lines
of a party, and that the man who
withstands such pressure is
safer leader than he who assures
the DISTINGUISHED that 'sthe day i:
not far distant when whatever
chains have been put upon them
will be lifted off" eight it out
on that line," Mr.. Stokes. If the
East Tennes see Radicals make wal
upon you for your liberal senti
ments, so much the better. Strike
for your State, for the people whC
pay the taxes, and not for illibera
party, and you may yet make
man of yourself.

Tennesseeans, once free, will never
cease agitation until they regain
their rights. They do not propose
to try 10 pack The Supreme Court,
nor to overthrow the State govern
ment, nor to Ku-Klux" them
selves into enfranchisement; but
they do propose 10 exhaust every
variety of appeal, every resource of
argument, and every legitimate
appliance Of political digladiation,
10 that end. This we dare do, and
viii approve in others. Who would
do less is worthy only of the chains

man who will vote the Radical
ticket, whatever his antecedents, is
ever refused certificate emitting
him to vote. IL the members Of
the Legislature could have been
satisfied that a majority of the dis
franchised citizens would have
voted the Radical ticket, theygwonld
have stricken the shackles from
every man in the State. That the
peace and quiet of the State has
nothing whatever to do with the
enactment or perpetuation of the
franchise law, is susceptible Of the
plainest proof In his message of
Nov. 6, 1866, to the Legislature,
Gov. Brownlow said:
"The year now rapidly drawing to q
close, may be said to be in the main, a
year of peace and plenty For, while q
few evil disposed and turbulent poi-
iticians have sought to disturb the re.
pose Of the people, and few riots and
crimes have disgraeed certain localities,
the great body Of the people have quietly
pursued their peaceful ayOcations.
The second franchise law was en-
acted while "the great body of the
| people" were 30 conducting them
| selves as to extort from Gov. Brown
low this tribute to their peaceful,
law abiding disposition. The tes-
timony as to the good character OF
the DISTINGUISHED people had scarce
ly been promulgated, before the
Radicals who feared they would
not be able to carry the elections
to occur in 1867, began to agitate
for new franchise law. The only
fear that prompted the enactment
of the third franchise law, which
| gave the negroes the right to vote,
was that the Democrats would
carry the elections. That fear
has continued the franchise law in
its rigorous character to this day
The Ku- Klux have had nothing
to do with that continuance. The
Radicals who plead their appear
ance as an excuse for not repeating
or modifying the law, are simply
attempting to deceive. If there
| had never been Ku-Klux in the
State, or an outrage of any kline
committed, the franchise law wculc
have been continued just al
lit has been done, for I'm
der no circumstances woult
the ultra Radicals have consented
to its modification. They know
toe we'll that when the disfran
| chised in this State are allowed tt
vote, that they will Immediately
sink back to the depths of the oh
security from which they wer'
thrown by adventurous circum-
| stances "
