The Banner, of yesterday, has spc-
cial dispatch from Knoxville, dated July
81, headed: "Ex-PREsIDENT JOHNSON AND
GEN. QUARLEs oPEN THE GuBERNATeRIAI
CAMPAIGN. The dispatch proceeds {;
"Andrew Johnson commenced speaking
here to-day, at u O'Clock. He spoke for
three hours. 1t is said to be one of his
most able efforts. General Quarles and
Col. Williams, of Knoxville, and Col.
Netherland, spoke tonight. There was a
large crowd present"
Now, the truth is, Ex-President John
son spoke that day at Rogersville, and NOT
at Knoxville, and Gen. Quarles was moi
in East Tennessee, but is at his home in

Two ORGANS in New York of the ma
tionalities now arrayed against each other
in Europe, the Courier DIES Etots Uais
and the Nea0- Yorker Journal, unite in
a most sensible recommendation to their
respective compatriots. They advise The
furious Frank and fiery Hun"
mot that the Germans are Huns) to de-
vote themselves to the practical business
Of sympathy, and not to its explosive fas-
cinations. AS the German journal Wig
orously puts it, ''the only thing to be done
by Germans in the United States for their
brethren who are fighting and suffering
in the war abroad is to collect money for
the wounded, for the widows and orphans
of the soldiers, and possibly, also, to send
ont reinforcements of capable surgeons,
who will always find enough to do"
The French Courier, in like spirit,
expresses the hope that the French resi-
dents of New York, instead of laundering
overthree thousand miles of sea with
verbal artillery from platforms in New
York at foemen on the Rhine, will initiate
the non combatant classes of France at
home, and combine to raise funds for
mitigating the miseries of a conflict the
perlls of which it is not permitted to them
to share.

An exchange recalls the fact that when
the great Chicago Convention was in ses-
sion in '66, a stage curtain was suddenly
raised revealing the image of Grant, above
whose bullet-shaped head was inscribed
the strange device, '9Iatch HIM" Two
years have passed since then, and the
country knows Grant better than it did
when he was thus brought upon the stage.
Thay now feel that it is impossible to
Snatch him" For prostituting the high
est place in the world to the basest uses,
he cannot be matched; for putting incom-
petent and worthless hacks into impor-
tant offices, he has no equal; for hunting
up hungry relatives who must be fed at
the public crib, he takes the premium;
for knowing nothing whatever about
these things, concerning which the Presi-
dent shouldha the fullest understanding,
his match is not in existence; for worm
ing houses, lands and money out of as
piring ofice-seekers, his like was never
seen; as a bOor, of whom all his friends
are ashamed, he is pre-eminent; as a
"sickn man on important occasions, he is
without a living equal. Match him!
Not much. We shall never look upon
his like again; and for that, at least, the
country should be sincerely grateful.

MRS. LINCOLN,s PENSION.

Mrs. Lincoln has shown herself to be
one of the most consummate beggars of
the age. The persistencyw which she
besieged the Government for pension,
disguised large number of Senators who
were the political and personal friends of
her late husband. and for a considerable
time resisted her impecunious appeals,
but finally the party lash brought the re-
calcitrant Senators to terms, and the pen
sion was awarded Mrs. Lincoln by a
meagre majority. During the debate on
the question of granting the pension some
very unkind things were said of Mrs.
Lincoln. Mr.. Howell RadicaD charac-
terized the effort as ga sneaking fraud de-
signed to be perpetraled upon the pen
sion policy of the country" and Mr..
Yates "a Radical Senator from Mrs. Lin
coins own State) charged Mrs. Lincoln
with having "sympathized with the re-
bellion during its whole existence, " and
appealed to the Senators if they "wanted
to be generous, to select a patriotic wo-
man to give this money to-" These and
other imputations which were freely
urged against Mrs. Lincoln, have aroused
some of the friends of her late husband
to an appreciation of the humiliating po-
sition in which she would place herself
by accepting the pension which was so
grudgingly awarded her by the Senate.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press writes on the 18th
inst. as follows:
sit is stated that the friends of Mrs.
Lincoln will advise her to decline the pen
sion of three Thousand dollars per annum,
voted her by Congress at the late session.
The reasons urged are that after what
was said in the debate in the Senate about
Mrs. Lincoln, in connection with the pen
sion, she cannot, out of respect for herself
and the memory of her distinguished hus-
band, accept boon so grudgingly grant,
ed. Some of the friends of the late
President propose to bind themselves to
raise Mrs. Lincoln three thousand dollars
per annum during the term of her natur-
al life, provided she declines the pension
voted by Congress. Col. Ward H. La
mon, who was United States Marshal for
this District during Mr. Lincoln's first term,
promises to be one of the three who will
guarantee Mrs. Lincoln a thousand dol
lars annually. In the meantime, Mrs.
Lincoln herself has not been heard from
on the subject"
If the money shall be furnished Mrs.
Lincoln as here indicated, she will de-
cline the pension, otherwise she will ac-
cept it, however humiliating it might be
to'a spirited, proud woman.

TIE New York Tribune feels that its
party is heavily handicapped for the great
struggle which is to occur this fall. 1t
says that "a man who should prepare
himself to swim through dangerous
breakers by filling his pockets with lead
and tying cannon ball to each foot would
be set down as fool. But a majority of
the Republicans in Congress are doing
something equivalent to this when they
load themselves with the income tax be-
fore plunging into a stormy campaign
wherein many of them would have
trouble enough to keep afloat even with
out any surperauous burdens. The obi
Gus income tax will sink good many
honorable gentlemen SO deep that they
will never come up again; and we shall
have no cause to thank our Representa-
tiYes in Congress if it does not sink the
Republican party too.p

SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution.
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS.
TRATION, Is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction Of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-
pared with pure ST. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The ife-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested In
the weak and responding by an imnedi-
ate and most encouraging change. . II
the appetite has failed, II Is quickened;
if digestion has been painful and inper-
feet it becomes easy and thorough; II
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; If the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, they
are put to flight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the e1traor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
sia, biliousness, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought BY Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not In league with
death and the undertaken could persist IN
it. The terrible evacuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige The nick willnot t&Ss them,

bined the elements of . gtomAchic, an
