CoLoRED MEN, TAKE NOTICE.

Two weeks ago, in the city OF Louisville,
Kentucky, a cOlorcd man was set upon
and most cruelty beaten by a white man.
The aggravated assault was witnessed by
three or four colored men, but no white
witnesses were present The offender was
arrested and taken before Judge Price, the
Democratic Judge of Louisville City Court,
who would hear no evidence from the col
orcd men and discharged the prisoner. He
has been indicted in the United states
Court for this fragrant violation Of Justice,
and it is to he hoped that the iu|i measure
Of punishment provided by llW-Niz. :;
81 600 fine and one years imprisonment
may be melted ont to him.
ColOred voters, make a note of tins. IN
that State the Democratic party holds un-
disputed power. There they have their
own way, and can make laws and admin
lister them as they choose We cite their
conduct as an illustration of the real
sentiments of Democracy where they are
untrammelled. Fortunately for the color
ed people of that State, the Nation has
had n Republican Congress, which has
provided for their protection, and the
country expects rigid enforcement of the
law on the subject. Where colored men
have their rights, Democrats condeseend
to ride in carriages with them on election
days; but where the Democracy has undis-
puted control of affairs, they are not even
allowed to testify in Il court of justice.

The Representative Of Knox County,

AIESsRs. EDITORS We of the country
90 in for anything that shall improve the
mate rial interest of Knoxville; that shall
complete the railroads projected; that shall
make our river navigable the year round
that shall q i've the various manufacturing
interests of town work to do; that shall
build up othermuch needed manufacturing
intereststhat shall foster the school inter-
ests generally and fill our agricultural col
lege with students.
We are thankful to Horace Maynard for
what he has done for us in the Halls of
our National Legislature. Loyal citizens
of the county appreciate this, and in the
town work on the new Court House,
though but Just commenced, has given
something of an impetus to business. But
there is much yet for him to do. Claims
for LOYAL citizens are to be looked after
the river to he improved and possibly ad-
ditiOnal legislation had rs regards the
school fund. Who so well prepared TO do
this as one who is an influential menberof
the domiuant party in Congress? send
man Of the opposition there, and with
ever 50 good Intentions, he would fail Of
doing much for Us from the fact of his be-
ing in hopeless minority. Clearly then,
Horace Maynard is the man for Us In the
coming Congress.
Precisely for the same reason, we would
sendC c. NJ. McGhce to Nashville. Though
in the call made upon him was in the in
terests Of the people, still it is notorious
that he is politically affiliated with the
majority there, and for that very reason he
could do more for us than any Republican
we could send there. More towards the
| completion of our railroads, more towards
giving the Agricultural College its dues
and to placing the finances Of the state up
on an uniform basis. Besides, he has the
| social position and influence, the clear
/ head and fine business talent that will
make him power to be felt in any legis-
| lative assembly.
Therefore, let us ignore mere party
claims, and vote for Col. McGheg, whose
! valuable services we, as % community,
need, and should improve this opportuni-
/ to avail ourselves of.

The following AUTUMN song" i. from
PmchHcHo:
Leave, are falling though coal is not,
And pumpkins are yellow and maids are blue
Potatoes and apples begin toroti
There's many liver congested too
The dew, stay late on the cabbagc-leaf
And the rcd. red beet tOrsakes the ground
And lovers wauderings grow more brief,
And fewer loaters are looiing around.
The celery rivals the turnip fair;
There new delight in the tender steak;
And boys go munching the chestnut rare,
Without one thought of the stomach-ache.
The last of the cattle-shows is seen;
The monster squash to the cows is fed;
Eyerything's brown that once was green,
Except tomatoes, and they are red.
The drowsy citizen hates to rise
The hash may be cold, but so is the air;
It's heaven to slumber, for now the flies
Are less atfectionate, and more rare.
And who is the busiest man we see?
It's the Doctor, dashing by in his chaise
And well may he hurry, you will agree,
For 1t isn't every patient that pays.
It's rare. rare season-so breezy and bright
The dahlias, and even the squashes, are gay !
One wouldn't regret the cold at night,
Fit wasn't so deucedly cold by day.
1 wandering shiver inspires the doubt
Whether Indian Summer will come this year ;
But its warmth can be felt when you don't go
out
And its haze may be seen through glass Of
beer

SOME of our Southern exchanges make
themselves ridiculous by heaping abuse
upon the Collector at Savannah, for order
ing the flag at The custom house, (Which
had been lowered at half mast in respect
for Gen. Ipe), restored to its proper posi-
ton and upon Secretary Boutwell,, for APP
proving the order. Now, we do not be-
lieve many sensible people found fault
with the southern people for mourning
for Gen. Lee, or even wondered at it, but
we do think that they had good cause for
being surprised that On officer of the United
States should, IN his Qficioz capacity, and
rs an agent for his Government, commit it
formally to such recognition Of Geireral
Lees official public character.
The custom house official could have
placed his flag at half-mast over his Oun
11rrote residence, without prejudice to the
Government, and few would have COM
planned We do not think any sensible
eX-Febel would have thought of raising

THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY cox

As friends of the Honorable Sccre-
tary of the Interior, we regret that his
retirement has been made the pretext for
fulsome laudation from the Democratic
press. We believe he is entitled to all the
praise bestowed upon him, for he is an
able, honest, fearless man, and has done
the Administration rs much credit as any
of the very able men connected with it.
But because such notices will serve to Gre
ate suspicion on the part of his own politi-
cal friends, and serve to excite the distrust
Of the Presidents friends, we think it UNI
fortunate that they should come just when
it is generally believed that there exists
some foundation for the reports 50 general
~ circulated We, Of course, know the Sc
ere Of this praise from his opponents. Be
lieying his RESIGNATION was brought about
by personal differences between him and
the President as to the management Of the
Interior Department, ana that he was not
sustained in his efforts TO honestly admin
lister it, his retirement IS seized as Il tit op-
portunity for attacks upon the President.
Upon all such matters both Secretary
Cox and the President would naturally be
reticent. But the following from the New
York Standard, which, in such matters
seems to be as near the organ Of the Presi-
dent as it is proper an officer in his posi-
ton should have, probably gives the truth
| OF the matter as near as we shall ever get
/ il. In noticing one by one the rumors on
| the subject it says:
The truth Oft all is chat AIr, Cox retircs from
the Cabinet for personal reasons; that there cX-
/ lists between the President and himself the ut
most eordi0iity and good feeling and that there
/ is no Office that the President would not gladly
| tender him if he cared to remain in Office.
/ We regret the retirement OF Mr. Cox for the
reason that it is another evidence that under our
government no man can hold high station am
less he has personal fortune to sustain il, We
do not pay our great officers salare- sufficient to
enable us to have good men in Office. \ man
worthy to be Cabinet Minister can earn in bust
ness or a profession three or four times the
amount Of hi- salary. Mr.. Schenck the other
day publicly announced that he could not re-
turn TO Congress because he was poor. There
is no doubt Il man like Mr.. Fish pays five time
his salary in order that he may live like Sec
rotary of State The payment Of small compen
-ations is simply protective tariff against b q
ability for high position, and an incentive L
peculatOn and dishonesty.
Our impression is that the Honorable Colum
bus Dcano will succeed Dir, Cox.

'CDMNUNICATED.


Tho suggestion 30 have non-p arli-an to repre-
sent Knox county in the next General Assembly
is a good one 1t is hoped the idea will not be
abandoned. An excess Of party zeal involved
us in war and the evil genius of party delayed
reconstruction. We have other and more i'm
portant interests than such as look to the NJ
rangement of parties and paltsans A Repnbli-
can Legislature gave to the University the ag-
ricultural school fund. a Conservative Lggis
lature has by resolution suspended the pay
men Of interest due us, and by bill now pend
ing is endeavoring to withdraw thi. fund from
Us entirely. This bill has passed the House and
now awaits the action of the Senate. 1t passed
the House by one vote more than the constitu-
tOnal majority Though matter of most vital
importance to Knox county, her interests were
not properly looked after, and change might
prove beneficial. The interest on this fund is
twenty -four thousand dollars perannum. With
this endowment we could build up and support
one ofthe best histitutionsin the South. When
established and filled with four or FIVE hundred
young men, it would bring to be distributed in
our midst a half million of money per year,
which would impart increased activity and pros
perity to all classes of our people.
Shall we stand idly by, and as il were, with
out an effort permit this rich boon to escape from
us? Is not this question above all perty? II
it is, let Us send man TO represent us who APP
preciates the importance of tins great question,
and Who win make this interest the leading OBJ
ject of his energies, and who will not only be
| present tovote upon it, but by actual aud un-
| firing effort IN and out Of the House, exert RlI
! his powers TO retain what we now have.

A Boy who can be Trusted.

Alfred was missing one night about
sunset. Mother was getting Anxious,
for she always wished him to be home
early. A neighbor coming in said q
number OF boys had gone to the river
to swim, and he thought Alfred was
with them.
No." said his mother, she PROM
ised me he would not go there without
my leave, and he olWdys keeps his
word. He never told me a lie.n
But seven o'clock came. then eight,
and the mother was still watching and
listening for the step of Alfred; but il
was half-past eight before his merry
shouts and whistle We're heard, when
he ran into the gate.
"Confess nov," said the ncighbor,
that you have been to the river with
the other boys, and so kept away till
late.n
How the boys eye flashed, and the
crimson mounted to his cheeks!
!" No sir i told my mother would
never go there without her leave, and
do you think Z trould ten q lie. I
helped James to find the cows which
had strayed in the woods, and did not
think would be so late"
James, coming up the street just
then came in to tell us he was afraid
we had been alarmed; they had been
so far in the wood it made them late i'm
getting home.

Impressive Masonic Ceremony.

The most Interesting and impressive
Masonic funeral ever solemnized in
Cincinnati, was that of the late How
ard Matthews, which took place ON
Sunday, March 20. For the first time
on such an occasion the inner sanctua-
ry of the Masonic Temple of that city,
The finest in the world, was opened to
the public. From the account in the
Commercial we copy a portion, especi-
ally interesting to the brethren of the
Ancient and Accepted Rite:
In behalf of the Scottish rite, Enoeh
T. Carson, Grand Commander of the
Grand Consistory of Ohio, holding in
his right hand q gold ring, advanced
to the front, and while Charles Mat
thews, son of the deceased brother,
arose, said:
"Charles Matthews, twelve years
ago your father took most solemn de-
gree in Masonry, within these walls,
kneeling at that sacred altar on which
was resting the open Holy Bible, the
foundation upon which the whole su-
perstructure of Freemasonry is reared.
The ceremonies were of the most sol
emn and impressive character, and as
a memorial of that particular occasion,
and as a continual reminder to him of
the ceremony and the lesson taught by
it, he was presented with this gold ring,
which he was instructed he should
ever wear upo.i the third finger of his
left hand, and with which he should
ne, er part until death, and then only
tos his oldest son or his dearest friend.
You are his only son, and to you / now
give up this ring
Then, turning to the Ma=ons:
% Brethren, Grand Elect, Perfect and
Sublime Masons, let the present occa-
sion awaken in your memories the le-
gend of this ring. Remember that, 500
ner or later, We know not how soon, our
bodies, like our brothers which now
lies before Us, will be cold and mani
mate in the embrace of death, and the
ring you now wear will have to be
transferred to your Oldest son or dear
est friend. May we ever remember the
legend inscribed in this ring, which is
an emblem of eternity: Moss non
djangit qnod rirt,es eOajcmgit.'"

How to Get q Dinner.

for time during a session of the House
of Commons, and feeling quite hungry
did not know where to get his dinner.
In this dilemma lie took his seat near
that OF Michael Angelo Taylor, and
said to him: s'There Is an important
law question coming up this evening,
i'm which, from your legal knowledge,
you will Ike expected to reply 10 Pitt;
so hope that you VIII not think Of
leaving the house." Sheridan then
went to Taylor's house, which was
near, and ordered dinner, saying to the
servants: "Your master viii not be
home tonight" Having made a hear
ty and Luxurious repast, he returned to
his seat beside Michael, aud released
nina by saying: "From what I have
just heard, Taylor, ! do not think that
the question i spoke OF will come ON
tonight, after al - Taylor being also
hungry from his long fast, immediate
~ returned home and rang Tor dinner,
