- Of all the anomalies of American poll
ties, the most strange is the blank stupidity
with which rinc-tcnths of all Irish voters
il America vote for the party of British
free trade. If there is any man on earth,
the lessons OF whose national history
o l@ht to make him Il protectionist. it is the
Irishmn. He has been exported to this
country pauper-a thing it was the inter
est of his own country to get rid of, because
the manufacturers of ireland had been
ruined by British free trade. This fact is
all there is of Irish suffering and English
oppression This is the cause. All the
rest is consequence. And yet, nine Irish
men in ten have heretofore voted for that
policy Of subserveniency to England which
has been steadily advocated and practiced
10y the Democratic party, and which would
bring the same ruin on this country that it
has brought upon Ireland.-Press.

ABOUT three weeks ago Gen. TheO.
Trauernicht, editor of the Nashville
DemOkTat, received a letter from the
editor of the Buffalo IN. W VoIks-
trelaad, announcing the fact that two
hundred German families of that COM
munity had formed an immigration
society for the purpose of settling
either in Tennessee, Kansas or Da-
k0ta. General L. answered the let
ter at once, giving the writer all the
information in his possession. A week
later another letter was received at
the Nashville DenlOkrdt office stating.
that the society had concluded to
come to Tennessee, and that early in
May a delegation of members would
arrive in Nashville to locate lands on
a 1avigable stream. Those of our
readers who know of suitable lands
will please give General T., who re-
mains at present in this city, such in
a may enable him to serve
the gentlemen from Buffalo on their
arrival in Nashville. He can be found
at Nos. 1872 and 1874 Main street. 1t is
greatly for u interest to fill up the
country with a good class of popuIa-
ton; and the Germans are proverbi-
ally industrious and frugal, and will
contribute to the aggregate wealth of
the country in proportion to the num-
oers OF Immigrants brought in, And
increases population and labor
increases the value of our lands. of
which the great bulk of our property
consists.

LEFT FROM r WARS.
Interesting Facts Concerning Government
Pensioners In Middle and West
Tennessee.
From DE NashvilIe Banner.l

From the Nashville Banner.
There are some rather interesting
facts and incidents connected with the
Government pension Office here if one
could only get at them. A peculiar
history always attaches to old soldiers,
IN whatever war or struggle they may
have fought.
For many years past an old lady
named Mrs. Dinah Wick has come to
the office of the pension agent here,
from Williamson county, and drawn,
semi-annually, the slender stipend set
apart for her benefit by the Govern
ment. She is the widow Of one of the
revolutionary soldiers, of whom, we
believe, none are now living. They
have all departed, leaving to the care
of h nation their widows and chill
dren, all of whom have reached an
advanced age. Mrs. Wick is about
one hundred and ten gears Of age, and
latterly has grown so feeble and de-
crepid that she has not been here to
get the allowance which fell due in last
March. Williamson county boasts
of another aged revolutionary widow,
in the person of Mrs. Guthrie.
who has reached her ninetieth veal
She has yet remaining some of the
vitality of her youth, and will doubt
less celebrate her centennial birthday.
In this district the revolutionary wild
Ows have dwindled down to twelve or
fifteen, their ages ranging from 50 to
100 years. There are from forty to
fifty pensioners of the war of 1872;
from fifty to sixty of the Mexican
war, including those who fought in
the Seminole war, and about 400 of
the ''late unpieasantness." OF the
last named there are about 460 blacks
and $40 whites. The largest number
of these reside in Middle and West
Tennessee, over which w. J. Stokes,
present P~ensiOner, has especial super
vision, but a good many Of them live
in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Missouri, and a few
in Illinois, their claims never having
been transferred to other agents. The
bounty allowed to the whole number
per annum amounts from $3.50, 900 to
$500, 0OO.
Mr.. Stokes seems to be giving gen
eral satisfaction. lie has for his clerk
Mr.. j. w. Carter, who is, perhaps.
better acquainted with the pensioners
of this district than any other man
in it.
