Death of Robert E. Lee.

The words which a few days ago humid
reds of thousands were dreading to hear
have been flashed across the wires, and to-
day a world knows that ROBERT Il. LEE,
'the christian gentleman and the hero of
a hundred battles" is dead. Throughout
that world the good and pure everywhere
mourn his loss, not, perhaps, as we of the
South-who have lost our leader, guide.
counsellor, friend and father-mourn, but
with a sorrow profound in its depth and
sacred in its sincerity. With us words
are now of no avail. They cannot express
our agonized feelings, they cannot build up
our shattered hopes. Our LEE, whom we
delighted to honor and to love and to trust,
shall no more in this life glorify and sus-
tain his COuntrymen of the South. We
knew that he was without guile. We
knew that the world had never seen a
better Christian nor a drawer man. We
knew that he loved US and our cause with
a devotion which recognized no limit save
that of an honor untarnished and impreg.
nable.
We know now that he has crossed the
mysterious river; that he is with jackson
and Polk that the glorifed trio of saints
are %mingling with their praises of the
Three in One intercessions for the people
and the cause they loved on earth and
we humbly bow our heads in submission
to the will of Him who doeth all things
we'll.

The War News.

AT last a CLEAN of hope can be seen for
the French cause. The telegraph, which
has been bringing almost daily news Of
u~naccountable Prussian triumphs, has sud,
denly changed its tune. The gallant Ba.

severe injury on the enemy. His
army is rapidly recognizing, and he will

General Trochu is said to have led a bril-

The victory has caused immense enthusi

The bonn bardment of Paris has no

there is reason to hope that the beautiful

Public Expression of Sorrow by Ou1

AT a meeting of the citizens of Sweet.

t%ernoon last, to express their grief at the
death of General Robert E. Lee, Colone.
John E. Ramsey was called to preside.
and a Committee appointed to prepare

world the illustrious man Of whose Writ.

At an adjourned meeting held at the
Presbyterian Church on Tuesday morning
Rev. w. w. Morrison, in a few we'll.
chosen words, paid a feeling tribute tC
the memory of our dead chieftan, after
which the following resolutions were
adopted. As will be seen they are, with
slight alteration, the appropriate regolu'
tiOns adopted in the city of Chattanooga
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God, in

Resolved, That we, the ex-Confederate sol.

do hereby desire to express our profound sorrow
at his death, our unmixed admiration of his life
and pure character, and do tender to his be-
reayed family our most earnest sympathy at a
floss in which a nation shares.
RESOLVED, That we do express our conviction
that no nObler spirit ever passed from earth
that he was a man, in his honor impregnable,
in his simplicity sublime; no country ever had
q truer son, no cause a grander champion, nc
people a holder defender, no principle a purer
advocate.
The cause for which he struggled is lost; the
people for whom he fought are crushed the
hopes in which he trusted are shattered but

which happily is not so much the toni Of virtue
las its shrine, shall, in years to come, fire
modest worth to noble ends. A bereaved peO-

The Speaking on Saturday.

A large and interested audience were in
attendance here Saturday to hear Messrs.
Ulementson and Bradford speak on the
political issues now before the people
Both gentlemen acquitted themselves with
credit, which their Well-known capac-
ity and the fact of their both being on the
right side rendered an easy task.
Colonel Bradford referred earnestly and
~eloquently to the dangers threatening re-
publican institutions in this country
institutions which must before long be
destroyed unless the schemes Of designing
and treacherous Radical leaders are thwart.
ed by the. good sense and patriotism Of
the people. He spokeof the many wrongs
which had already been inflicted on a free
people by an u~nscrupulous and constitu'
tion-defying Congress, and trusted thai
the term of power Of the men now com
posing it was fast drawing to a close. He
expressed the deepest personal interest il
the welfare of the whole country, which
could only be secured by an honest anC
impartial administration of affairs. Col
onel Bradford's remarks were listened tt
with marked attention, and we are sorry
that we cannot give our readers an ex
tended report of them.
Hon. John M. Clementson followed il
one of his best efforts. He never fail
to interest an audience, and on this occa
sion was peculiarly successful in vindicat
ing the principles of the great party cp
posed to Radicalism. Laying aside person
al interests, he, like Colonel Bradford, il
animated only with q desire to see the
right triumph, and a laudable ambition
tosdischarge his duty in the great contest
which is going on.
Our candidate for Representative, Mr.
II. A. Chambers, and for the Senate.
General John G. Vaughn, each made 9
few well-timed remarks, and thus closed
one Of tbss most pleasant and profitable
political meetings it has been our fortune
for a long time to attend.

Ganeral BroWnIa Position.

General Brown has stated distinctly:
That he is not the advocate of seces-
sion and never was in favor Of it.
That the platform of the Convention
which nominated him regarded as uncon'
stitutional the peculiar legislation to en-
force the Fifteenth Amendment, but does
mot touch the amendment itself.
That he wants free trade and no tariff
except one for revenue
That he makes no war upon tho public
debt, is not in favor of reputation, anC
would never dream of repudiating an hon.
est debt.
That he wants to see this country per
|~petuated, and it's flag float for all time
to come over an undivided people. HI
lis ready to defend that flag and would lay
down his life in defence of it.
Notwithstanding General Brown thu!
distinctly announce his position, and tina.
of all his supporters, the Radical politi
CLANS of Tennessee, headed by Horace
Maynard-fOr he is the brains of his par
|ty in this State-try to make the peopl,
believe that treason and SECESSION lie lurk
ling in every line of the Nashville plat
form, and bristle in every hair of each
one of its defenders. Perhaps the result
of the November election will show tina
even in this Congressional District theil
are in the minority.

The Colored Voters Speak.
NEAR KELso, 9Th Civil DIST,
MONROE Co, Oct. Is, 10.

GEN. VAUGHN-Dear Sir-We, the
lcolored voters of this district are glad to
sec you are a candidate for the Legisla-
lture. Several of us have known you since
we we're pillow boys together, and always
found you a true friend to US and our
race. The black man, slave or free, al
ways found a true friend in you, and we
Intend to lay aside all party feelings and
support you freely, and in doing so we
feel certain that you will advocate, if elect
elected, such laws as will do equal justice
to all men, black as we'll as white, and the
poor as we'll as the rich. We know where
to count you, and when you tell US you are
flor a certain measure, or promise US any
thing, we feel certain it will be done.
You were an officer in the Confederate ar
my we all know, but we believe you and
ayour friends ale our true friends, and we
can safely say so to the colored voters all
lover this district, and we ask them to for
lget their prejudices and coma out and sup
port you and our friends. The action Of
the late State Convention which made a
new constitution granted the black man
more than any other party ever did before.
and we know that we have more rights here
in Tennessee than our race have in many
of the Northern States. We are here al
lowed to sit on juries and hold Office, aud
in fact we have all the privileges any white
man has, and these privileges and rights
were granted us by a convention whose
President, General John G. Brown, and
Snearly all its members, were in the rebel
army and men who sympathized with them
Therefore, no colored man need doubt any
longer who their friends are, and so far as
We are concerned we shall support those
whom we know and can trust.

ldictment against Hop Price, Judge of the
louisville City Court, for refusing to re
3%ceive the testimony of a negro against
white man, who had been arrested upor
THE charge of assault and battery on the
negro. The laws of the Commonwealth
conflict with the amendment to tho Con.
lstitution of the United States relative tt
negro testimony, and Judge Price, con
%ceiving it his duty to support the consti
tuition of Kentucky in preference to al
other laws, rendered his decision in &C
cordance Herewith. The punishment foi
the offense is fine not exceeding $1,000
or imprisonment not exceeding one year

The Recent Elections,

The Democratic party has made decid'
ed gains in the States of Indiana, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, as proved by the re.
cent elections. Altogether the Radicals
have lost eight or nine Congressman. The
State Democratic ticket was carried in In.
diana by a majority of over two thous
and.
The most significant defeat the Radi
Gals have met with was that of Schenck
of Ohio. He was the peculiar champion
of the protcctionists, and every effort wa.
made tO'secure his election. As it is, i
is very doubtful whether Congress viii
admit his gallant and successful competi
tor, Lewis D. Campbell. He is not ont
of their kind.
