1t is much the fashion, among

1t is much the fashion, among
democratic politicians especially, to
hold forth loudly upon the corrnp
tons and extravaganza of the Re
publican administration--and some
times without fully knowing what
they are talking about. An anus
ing instance occurred not long since,
not thousand miles from this city.
A man, well known for his South
ern procliyities during the war. and
a sort Of leader among a certain set
of Democrats, was discoursing at
length and with violence on the
Government, how many more
millions it cost year than Andy
Johnson's administration, &c, and
finally came down to peculations
and frauds. "Why,' said he, sis it
not scandalous that u member of
Congress should be allowed to sell a
ship, war-ship. for 100000 and
pocket the money! aye, and not
once, but two or three times. and
what is there done about it? moth
ing, but to let one of them resign
That's the way our money goes un
der these Republicans, corrupt
scoundrels y
"What ship was that ?" said his
hearer, 81 never heard of that"
''Why, the papers are full of it, the
Cady ship" replied the preserver OF
public morals, '.that big war shiI
that was sold for 500, 200, and the
thiefput the money all in his own
pocketw "Cady ship " repeated
his puzzled hcarer,-then, as Il light
broke in on his mind, -"Why, you
don't mean cadet ship, do you !!
"Maybe twas the Cadet. I'm not
Just sure about the name, but twas
government vessel and never &
cent did the government get for hel
at all "
With amazement and amusement
struggling for the mastery, the Re
publican spent a few minutes in try
ing to enlighten his antagonist as tt
the real meaning and character of !
cadetship i'll the army. "And VIII,
do they put ship on it, if it isn't
ship 7" said he ''sure | thought i
was a war vessel, and there's
good many of us here thinks so too.
Only half convinced of his mis-
take, and very little shaken i'll hi
belief of the utter corruption {
members of Con nGress, the Democra
went his way, leaving his hearer
in commissions OF laughter.

The Overland Monthly, for March,
furnishes an interesting article, en-
titled "On the Lower California
Coast from which We take the. fol
lowing "prospecting' anecdote:
Soon after the first whaling yes
sells visited the lagoons, two chips
which had arrived early from the
north were lying quietly at their an
chorS, their crews feeding on the
bountiiul productions of the bay,
and relic Iing themselves from the
confined and monotonous life on
board by making excursions on
shore among the rugged peaks OF
Margarita Island, or through the
estuaries thread the northern
shore. Sometime during these ram.
blcs, one who had the curiosity to
see the top of the island, after a
fatiguing climb, paused to rest, and
take survey of the objects around
him. Knocking about in the debris,
he chanced to pick up what he be
lieved to be the ''precious gold it
self" aud fastening bacltr the ship,
made known the discovery to his
captain. a second expedition to
the place developed the supposed
gold deposits more fully, and a
number of the specimens were
brought to the ships and examined
by the two captains and their Oil

Election Contested I'm the Firth
ChancerY Division.

Capt Z A Cox, late candidate for Chan
cellor, has seen proper to contest the cleo
ton of his opponents, Col Ward and Col
Collins, because they are ineligible under
the fourteenth amendment, and, also, upon
the ground that they were not legally and
constitutionally elected, independently of
the question of their disabilities. Capt
Cox has presented his petition and OBJ
tanned fiat from Chancellor Tillman, he
being the nearest Chancellor under which
the application could be made under the
provisions of the statute. His action, as
We are informed, was reluctant upon his
part alone upon the ground that he is soon
to be superseded by q recently elected sue
cessor. The effect of the above fat is to
restrain Col Ward from receiving any COM
mission authorizing his induction into Of
fee. 1t was also directed by the Chancel-
lor that, on the Both of September pro1imo,
at Sparta, Tennessee, the questions of in
eligibility, and all other questions affect
ing the validity of the election, should be
tried. 1t is understood that the contest
will be based upon grounds peculiar to that
Chancery Division and growing out of
causes confined thereto. All parties to the
contest were Confederate soldiers and re-
manned as such during the war. 1t is not
a question of politics. 1t is a mere contest
between the respective candidates who be-
Ieve themselves entitled to the position
under the laws and Constitution of the
State. The result will be looked to with
interest.

Explanatory.

We insert the following from the Win
chester Home Journal in order that justice
may be done to all and injustice to none.
We know Prof. Marks as one of the most
successful mathematical teachers, and that,
too, when connected with the Mary Sharp,
and we are fully satisfied he has had no
superior there, or elsewhere, in Tennessee,
as an efficient, faithful and successfully
eminent educator in his department:
Mr.. j. r. BEksLEy-Dear Sir: A COM
munication appeared recently in the UNION
AND AMERICAN relative to the Mary Sharp
College, in which the author, in my opin
ion, is guilty of gross injustice. Any one,
unacquainted with the facts, would sup
pose, Judging from the article mentioned,
that Prof. Spencer was entitled to all the
credit for the reputation established by the
Mathematical Department-while the fact
is that its reputation was made by Prof. W.
P. Marks, who was the first Professor of
Mathematics in the College, and who taught
the first four years of its ife-from Janu-
ary, 1851, to lS55-and returned in 1865,
after the death of Prof Spencer, and
taught four years longer. Prof. Spencer
was an able teacher, and well did he sus-
tain the reputation Of the Mathematical
Department already established by his
predecessor, but he could add nothing
thereto. Both men were worthy and well
qualified, and it would be hard to deter
mine which was the superior teacher.
By publishing the above you will truly
oblige JUSTICE.
