ters lecture on the Equality of the Human
Race" The speaker was introduced by w. F.
Ysrdley, Esq He first spoke of ST. Paups de-

fugitive slave law. But they placed their trust
in the Word of God. God had set the bounds
of human freedom. The speaker exhorted the
young men ofthe Society to take the Word of
God as their guide. He advised his people to
be united.

The Knoxville Turner's In Council,

Bessrs. Ruhm and Jeup, the guests of the
Knoxville Turner's, made few remarks, by in
vitation, to very respectable number of citi-
zens and Turner's last night at Turner Hall;
Mr.. Kuhn was the first speaker. He referred
to the objects Of the Turner association, and ex-
planned its laws and constitution. He said that
at present it was one of the most formidable as
socistions in the country, and, under the
lead of such men as Carl Schurz
Governor Solomon, of Wisconsin, Judge Stallo
of Ohio, General Seigel, of New York. Il held
itself as an organization ready to act with that
political party that promised the greatest re-
forms and the best administration of the public
affairs The said German-Americans had con-
victions on public affairs that were dear to them
and they proposed to carry them out in this
country IS they believed them wise and best.
They did not want to dictate to Americans but
they wanted to held their own opinions as they
had right to do. The South could have more
Germans to-day, if they recognized the freedom
of thought and had encouraged them heretofore
as they do now.
His remarks were very forcible and to the
point, and were we'll received.
Mr. Jeup, formerly of Cincinnati, then spoke,
and said he felt the great thing Germans ought
to strive for was popular education. He thought
it neglected in Tennessee, and hoped it would
be so no longer. Germans, he said, were indie
pendent thinkers. They did not blindly follow
any party. They were anxious to have an hon
est ana Sooo government, ana would vote IOr
that man best calculated to give them that. He
said they fought corruption, whether it was
found at Washington in the halls of Congress,
in the Presidents appointments to Office, or in
the stupendous frauds of Tsmmany in New
York.
Both speakers made remarks in German.
Short addresses were made by Mr., Kicks, of
the CHRONICLE, and w. A. Henderson, Esq.
The German visitors will leave for Nashville
to-day, much pleased with their visit and high
ly delighted with Knoxville We hope they
will visit US soon again.

Notes From Strawberry Plains.

l have been spending few days among the
good people of this pleasant little village.
We had a fine rain here yesterday evening
Farmers wear cheerful faces this morning.
The railroad bridge, which spans the Holston
at this point, is being weatherbosrded, covered
and painted, which greatly adds to its appear
ance as well as its durability.
The new Presbyterian church will soon be
finished, and will be large and elegant build
ing The Methodists speak of building new
place of worship this fall.
The College buildings at this place, which
were formerly the pride of the village were
destroyed during the war, and now no building
remains on the Hill except the old brick board
ing house, which stands like some deserted
castle to mock the grandeur and glory Of de-
parted days.
Business is very dull here, at least one would
think so, could he see the young merchants
playing marbles or sailing in company with fair
young ladies on the smooth waters Of the beau
tiful Hoston.
When these dull, hot days are gone, and
work comes on, none will be found more at
tentive to business than these young merchants
of Strawberry Plains. GNoRTs.

A Suggestion.

EDITORS CHnoNIeLE: has often occurred to
me that it would be matter of great conve-
nience to the public if our civil districts instead
of being designated by numbers only, had
names appropriated to them by which they
might be known.
1t is very difficult for an ordinary mind to
give "a local habitation' "a mere number. 1t
the localities of the different districts, and
think that even old citizens do not retain their
localities in their minds as well as they would
do if names were attached to them Such names
would be particularly convenient in indicating
the residence of any person and in addressing
letters. t..
What do you think of the idea? The county
Court might select the names, but would prob
ably REQUIRE an act Of the Legislature.
