Knights Templar's Banquet.

The Nashville Union and American
| of Friday says: The occasion OF the
BANQUET of the Sir knights Templar
at the Masonic Hall last night was
every way one of the happiest and
agreeable events OF the season. The
han, the large rooms above, and the
ante-chambers were brilliantly tllu-
minated. At half-past 8 O'Clock the
crowd, composed of the knights and
| the members of their families and a
number of invited guests, commenced
assembling.
Considerable time was spent in
| pleasant, social converse, prOmenad-
| ing and the most genial and rehned
pastime, when the Sir Knights went
through the drill evolutions with a
precision and ~exactitude that ELECTED
the Iiveliest encomiums. The crowd
then repaired to the large hall below,
where the collation. was spread.
The tables were arranged diagonally
across the hall, in the shape OF an
elongated letter "X." They were
spread with every luxury and delicacy
that could be desired, and presented
a brilliant and attractive appearance.
Pyramidal cakes of elaborate finish
and yelled with exquisite skill and
transparency; ices and jellies, fruits
and Yiands, a and strawberries
of delicious richness and flavor, and
every variety of luxury, blended with
more substantial varieties, were there
in endless profusiOn and elegance.
The repast was partaken of With high
relish, and in a spirit of great good
humor.
After all had Jared sumptuously,
the following toasts were proposed by
| M. b. Howell: "The Grand Com
mandery of the United States" This
was responded to in very appropriate
remarks by Mr.. Sarvis, GeneralissImO
of the Grand Commandery of the
United States. "The Grand Com
mandery of the State of Tennessee"
Response by DIR. George S. Blackie.
The next regular toast was to the
| Communicates of Nashville, Mem
phis and Columbia, to which Mr.. Mel
Iersh, of Memphis, responded in a
most felicitOus style.
Mr.. Mellersh then proposed the fol-
lowing:
" Brilliant lights around US I see
Let's drink to Nashville COmmandery."
The response was by Mr.. B. Howell,
and was well conceived.
A toast to the ladies was then pro-
posed. This was responded to by
John FrizZel in his happiest style.
The next toast was to Masonry.
Response by DR.. Sheffield.
Mr.. Mellersh then proposed the
memory of the dead, which was drank
standing, with uncovered heads, and
with much solemnity. The response
by Mr.. Howell was feeling and pa
thetic.
After the toast the benediction was
pronounced, and the Sir knights and
friends retired from the Hall, all
charmed and delighted with the enter
tainment afforded, and hoping to wit.

No Reconstruction.

Major Will. r. McBathAthe repre-
sentative in the Legislature from
Knox and Sewer, returned to Knox

like a tub, would have to stand on its

In a card in the Knoxville ChrOni
Gle (Radical), Major McBath cOrrectS
what he claims to be a ''misrepresen'

follows:
"Senator Brownlow did not say

nessee, and that the Republican party,
like a tub, would have to stand on its
own bottom. What was said to me
by Senator B. was private, and was
said while he was in his bed. He was
of the opinion that the State of Ten
nessee would not be reconstructed,
and gave his reasOn-which it is not
necessary to mention"
Thus the important fact that Sen

to which that paper would not other

The Late Railroad Calamity.

The st. Louis Republican Of Friday,
commenting upon the late aWfuI rail-
road ralamity at st. Louis, says:
In afAance of the evidence OF sworn
vitnesseiA we will abstain from COM
ment except to say that the accident
in its character plainly indicates a
weiphty responsibility somewhere for
the Shocking sacrifice of human life,
and the other damagedone. 1t did not
ORIGINATE from a fracture of material
or other causes difficult to anticipate,
Int apparently from the most repre-
hensibie c~arelessness or want OF sys-
fem. AS matters at present stand 1t
would appear as If a reckless expert
ment had resulted in bloody ruin and
disaster. The conductor OF an express
train having the right OF way, goes
ahead at full speed, while q frelgnt
train attempts to make an addltlonai
station on the time of the express.
Teti II be granted that the men were
earnestly DESTROYS of doing their duty
to their employers; yet what a nerrl-
BILE chance work does this mode OF
proceeding appear. The conductor OF
the freight train could not have pos
sessed any accurate information as to
the speed and exact position of the
express, but the heavy train thunders
on, trusting more to luck than to any
positive knowledge or assurance.

A MementO to be Returned.

The Toledo (Ohio) Commercial says:
1t will be remembered by many of
our readers that when the Union
forces took possession of CEx-Presi-
dent JEFF. Davis plantation, Kinds
county, Mississippi, a large amount of
property of various kinds was : con-
tiscated' by the soldiers, and carried
off. Among other things was the
gold-headed cane, made from the
timber of the Old Ironsides, and pre-
scented to Mr.. Davis by Ex-Presi-
dent Franklin Pierce, which fell into
the hands of a son of Samuel Lynch,
and by him was brought North. 1t
appears that j. r. Linn, Esq, of OF
tawa, Putnam county, hearing of the
cane, interested himself in securing
its return and yesterday had it in the
city, and will forward it to It's owner.
We think all will accept the propriety
Of such return Of this personal me-
mentO, and | appreciate Mr.. Lynch's
sense of justice in consenting thereto.
A letter from Mr.. Davis to Mr.. Linn
expresses a strong desire to recover it
all the stronger from the factWbat
the giver has since died.n

THE editor of the Marysville Tenn

THE editor of the Marysville (Tenn.)
Republican is a man and brother y
from Africa, who speaks out to his
colored brethren of the Radicals with
candor, which they ought to respect.
He says:
They are men who want Office;
are malicious, and want revenge; peO-
pie who want 10 increase the colOred
mans enemies, and make a break in
the friendship now existing between
the colOred man and his late owners;
they are the demagogues, unprinci-
pied and corrupt politicians; men who
want an army of soldiers to saddle
more expenses upon u State, in or
der to do their dirty work under bay
onet protection; in a word, extreme
Radicals. We entreat the men of our
race not to be blinded and fooled. Be
free, and not the slaves OF miserable
guides, without Judgment, conscience,

LYING A-BE0 IN THE MORNING.

I love to rove in the shady grovA
Where gentle zephyrs are floating;
l love to SIT at the festal board,
Where buckwheat cakes are smoking.
I love TO gaze at the golden blaze,
Where Sol the west is adjoining;
But this Love far better than all
To lie a-hed in the morning.
That poets shonld sing Of h Joys Of spring,
Is not in the least surprising;
But 1 can't conceive why a man should weave
A sonnet to early rising.
Though rankin OF old was a sage, I'm told,
can't go with him in scOrning
The blfssful scenes in tbeland of dreams-
When lying AIDED In the morning.
I love to lie when the sunbeams shy
Come peeping through the curtains;
When phantoms bright regaie the sight
With visions Of coffee and mullins;
When the birds loud thrill from the distant
hill
The chorus Of nature is Joining
If there's aught below can Danish woe,
It's lying a-bed in the morning.
Let those who moose retire TO snoOze
When the ducks and chickens are going,
And rub their eyes when forced to rise
At chandeliers dismal Growing;
They lose the sight of the gOrgeous night,
And spend their dayst In yawning-
Till midnight damp I'll burn the lamp,
And lie AIDED I'm the morning.

THE AGED OAK.
BY J. P. r.


Yonder In the grassy meadow,
Meath the oak now bending low,
Where the brooklets softly murmur
with a calm and tranquil flow;
Weaves the woodhIne with the willow,
And the ivy round them twine;
with the lily, sweetest howret-
Blending with the slender thyme.
There. beneath that shady bower,
OFT at even 1 have strayed,
Filled with bright hopes of the morrow,
Gladness Ger my brow then played.
Ere the sunbeams cheer the vale,
Shades of evening fade from view,
Softly beams the morning sunshine,
Now to paint the lilies hue.
There I've loitered, nearly dreaming,
with a heart so full of Joy,
When no sorrows did beset me,
Happy thought TO be g boy!
All! who knows the sorrows waiting
Down III narrow path OF life,
Who can tell us in LIES battles,
Who viii smile in fortunes strife.
Let us in youth endeavor,
Then, TO have a noble aim;
For the seed that's sown in spring time
VIII as soon bear seed again.

Yet round about the spot

And ear the sacred gate,
WITH longing eyes 1 walt,

And noise and humming:
They've hushed the minister bell;

Timid and stepping fast,
And fastening hither,
With modest eyes downeast;

Meekly and duly;

Pool, of North Carolina.

Editors appeal: Some days ago a
criticism upon the conduct of Senator
Pool, OF North Carolina, appeared in
the APPEAL. 1t was written in Wash
ington, and deemed somewhat harsh
and unjust by a distinguished and ex-
cellent gentleman, who had known
Pool in his earlier years. Such was
your respect for him who administer
ed the reproof to your correspondent,
that no reply vas made to Mr.. POOLS
apologist. 1t happens, however, that
Pool has recently shown that the
Washington letter writer was not so
grievously at fault. Pool has been
again stirred up by the winds of pop.
uIar passion that sweep I'VE Wash
ington; the profundest depths havel
been disturbed, and the scum-cOvered
miasmatic Pool has floating on its dis
gushing surface, a dirty little bark,
freighted with his conceptions of
statesmanship. This Pool, in the
bright sunshine of spring-time, be-
comes a foully stained mirror in which
are reflected all the vices and deform-
tiles OF crazed and malignant Radical
ism. de has embodied his speech, that
was harshly condemned, in a Drake
oman bill. He proposes to enforce the
latest constitutional amendments. He
would infuse fresh vigor into the
Civil Rights Act. He would illus
trate, if ] am not mistaken, In its
practical operation, the beauties and
! divine eXcellences of miscegenation
itself. Since there is no negro not as
good as himself, he would establish
by law social equality. The critical
correspondent, who is POOLS apollo
gist, need make no apology for his
blunderA Pool, no doubt, years ago,
was a Hspeetable sort of gentleman.
If he had not been, he would never
have found a friend in this local cor
respondent. But Pool has depart
ed" He went away after strange
gods. His virtues (many, no doubt)
leaned to vices side. He is full Of
gall and bitterness. The seat he fills
gives way beneath him. He will fall
outside the Senate Chamber never to
rise again; and Pool, therefore, raves,
and Is savage, and says ugly things,
and would wreak vengeance upon the
South for coming calamities to HIM
self, which, a. we view them, are un-
disguised blessings. X.

WHILE the situation somewhat i'm
proves in the south, and, in spite of
much mismanagement and heavy
taxation, the people are beginning to
improve their condition, the north
retrogrades, and is beginning to feel
the weight of wasteful expenditure,
favoritism to monopolists and bond
holders, internal revenue and high
tariff and taxes. The shoe pinches
more and more at home, and the out
cry is coming. The days ofwild specu-
latiOn and shoddy are numbered, and
now the hardship comes of footing the
bills. Values are unsettled, business
depressed, decentralization produced,
and five months of legislation by the
Congressional ~sOvereigns is fruitless
Of relief. The currency is scarce, the
debt does not perceptibly diminish,
no system of retrenchment and wise
economy is adopted, the day of adj
journment approaches, the bond-hold-
ers and monopolists must be paid and
fed, while hope grows faint, and
frauds, embezzlements, d~efalcations
and extravagances multiply daily and
succeed each other so regularly and
commonly as TO cease to be novel and
startling, and become a matter o.
course. A general alarm prevails,
and the responsible cause of these
wrongs and evils is sought for, and
begins to be traced to Radical demon
alization and rule. There is, there
fore, hope for the Republic in the very
despair begOtten of extremes. "Thert
is life in the old land yet" and the
people begin to think the "sober sec
ond thought" which is to save it

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, May 5, 1870.
My attention was called some time
ago to an article of correspondence in
your issue of April l, signed "War-
rem" in which it was stated that 1
had written to Tennessee for evidence
in the matter of reconstruction, and,
also, that l had been negotiating for
the sale of a cadetship. l had hoped
before this time to have met the origi-
nator of the falsehood, but have not
succeeded in so doing, and l desire to
say, therefore, through the columns
of your paper, that the statements
made in that correspondence regard
myself are wholly untrue from begin
ming to end, and have no foundation
whatever in fact. l have no hesita-

The Case of DR.. seheoppe.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 13.-The
case of DIR. SchoepPe, sentenced to
death for the murder of his sweet
heart, came up in the Supreme Court
this morning, on a writ to review the
indorsementin the lower court, as per
recent act of the Assembly. The at
tOrneys for Scheoppe, Miller q Hep
burne, filed the petition of S~ehOeppe,
to which District Attorney McLaugh-
lin entered the plea that the case was
ended on the 18th of February last,
and that when the Legislature passed
the the bill on the 18th Of February,
this case was not pending, and could
not be governed by the new law.
Miller & Hepburn filed the applica-
ton of the plaintiff in error, and Nc
Laughlin fled the demurrer thereto.
Chief Justice Thompson said posi-
lively and emphatically that he be-
lieved the case was closed on the 18th
and was not pending when the act of
the Legislature was passedEOn the
I5th-and he could not see how tudg-
ment could possibly be reOpened now.
The a S was postponed till the 23d
inst, when the point will arise in ar
gument.
The court adjourned till Monday
morning.
