OH BRowNLow.-A Washington correspondent O
the Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following description
Of old Brownlow as he appears in the United State,
Senate:
lie sits in the Senate bolt upright in a chair with
high back, upon which his head rests and seldom
changes that position. He is afflicted with the palsy
aud his hands and feet shake constantly like asper
leaf He tries occasionally to prevent this invountary
movement by clasping his hands across his knees
This only gives momentary relief, for he
gets tired of holding his hands in this position, and
lakes both hands shake and culver before lie can
speak above whisper, and when his vote is wanted
his who sits by his side almost constantly
for him. He can't write, and the speech which was
read for him last week the civil tenure bill mus
have been written by another, from his position.

perseverng revising and turning that enabled Grant

About the middle of January gentleman, Dr. -

ing with himself few men and made the attack The
negroes met them in force and fight ensued, in
