The Washington Capital of the 9Th
inst. makes some extraordinary revela,
tons, showing the corruption and rascal
ity of the carpet-baggers in Florida. C.
n. Hamilton, late Radical member of
Congress, pesched on his comrades, and
publishes letters of w. c. Osborne,
brother to the present Senator. In order
to get his aid for land-stesling job in
Congress, they offered him half million
of dollars stock in the Great Souther Rail
rosd, TO have the Federal patronage in Flor
ida readjusted 10 his better satisfaction, TO
secure his return to Congress, to carry all
his measures through the Senate, and TO
make him Attorney to the Great Southern
Railroad at his own price. AS Hamilton
did not accept the terms, he was thrown
overheard. The stock of the Great South.
ern Railroad was put at ten millions
Senator Osborne was to have quarter of
q million, and the balance divided among
eighteen carpet-baggers. The proof of
these frauds is full and undisputable.
These be the men Who-talk longest and
lOudest about Ku.KIux Outrages and of
the insecurity of life and property of

/" The Law shows her teeth,
But dares not bite"

The affairs in Tennessee were inVesti-
gated more than year ago. The docu-
mentary evidence lies deposited in tie
Reconstruction Committee room, and
being subject to his use, and he failing to
produce it, is evidence that he has raised
false clsmor. He alluded to an outrage
in Rutherford county, but upon being
Intercepted, he showed that he was not
informed as TO the name of the party
slain nor the circumstances attending the
Staying. His design, however, was 10
parade it as an instance of rebel oppres-
sion of loyal men for political reasons.
and, to give his statement colorlng and
force, he implicated the Sheriff of that
county in the outrage. | speak from au-
thority in saying that the Sheriff was in
no completely in the affair; that it was
personal, not polbical; that the person
slain, Mr.. Inmsu, was Union man; that
he went disguised to the house of an old
negro named Wiley Kimbro; that he
forced the door open and shot into the
house, when the negro fired and killed
him. The negro, upon trial, was scquit-
ted. The editor of the Monitor, Dem
ocrstic paper published in the same
county, makes the follow ng comment:
''As for ourselves, we wish TO enter our
earnest I rotest against all such midnight
work. Even admitting one of the ne
grOes was of villalnOus character,
which from all reports we believe TO be
the case, such does not in the least palli-
ate the enOrmity of the outrage OF going
at the midnight hour, ARMED TO the teeth
and in disguise, to the residence of a ne
gro, and commanding its inmates TO come
out, and on their refusal, beginning TO
batter down and shoot through the door
of the house. Even if there were no
stringent laws against such acts, the citl-
zens of this peaceful community and SEC
ton, to a man, have put their seal OF con-
demnation on all conduct OF this kind. 4"
Hence, we fiud that this outrage was
without the ingredient of loyal oppres-
sion; that it was sterrly denounced, and
the law promptly administered. This is
but a sample of the many csustic irri-
tants which are applied TO the exposed
nerves of Congress, and hence sent forth,
with embellshed rhetoric, TO inflame The
Northern mind.

colleague from the Knoxville district

PLAYFUL CHILDREN.

Arc your little children playful? d..
Let them well enjoy their glee;
Darken not their path with sorrow
Let them happy, playful be.
Earth bright Spring flowers they are TO yor
Let them joyful be and gay;
Clouds full soon will veil their faces,
Make them happy while you may,
Let their bright, sweet faces cheer you
Daily like the flowers of Spring
Strive 20 make them like q sunbeam,
And their hearts to you will cling.
True, you may sometimes be weary,
If their plays are loud or long;
Gently hush their gleeful voices,
Tune their mirth to some sweet song.
Teach them of the precious Saviour,
Tell them of Redeeming love;
Cheerful let them think Of JESUS,
And happy home above.
If you thus will scatter sunshine
Round each young and trusting heart,
You may hope they'll love their MAKER,
And He'll to them joy impart.

| Tins of the late Pittston disaster !: =
William James expired about B o'cloek
on the afternoon of the Tuesday following
the catastrophe, and was the last added to
the list of those on whom the death angel
laid his hand in that awful havoc. He was
q Welshman, and had been in this coun-

of the dreadful day in question, he had

side him. For some time he sat wrapped
I'm thought, his arms folded, his eyes fixed
vacantly upon the stove, and.a deep mel
ancholy apparently brooding over him.
He was aroused, from shis- reyeries by
his wife, telling him that his din

as the bell had rung. He Started to- his
