Green Whitthorne, col, one of the
most faithful and honest of his race, died
near White Spring last Saturday morn
ing. Inthc days ofslayery he belonged to
Cen. w. C. Whitthorne, and his

We are permitted by friend to make

no grass here, yet clover grows vel, but

THE citizens of New Orleans have
recently become alarmed at an alleged
conspiracy to deprive them of theiT
real estate, which has been held, I'M
molested, from generation 10 genera
ton under ancient grants from the
Spanish and French Governments.
These titles have, forsiXty-nine years,
been considered good, without con-
tirmation by the United States. I'm
der recent act of Congress, however,
it is alleged what where these grants
have not been confirmed, or where
the surveys cannot be found III the
proper office, the land belongs to the
United States, and is subject to entry
under the homestead law. A regis
ter and receiver Of public lands, it is
reported, have been appointed by the
United States Government, and these
officers are proceeding to investigate
titles with great activity. When no
survey can be found public notice is
given, and if the occupant fails to
exhibit confirmed title, a patent is
issued, suhjeoting it to entry under
the homestead law. The whole town
Of Carrollton, one Of the outlying vii
lagos of New Orleans, it is reported,
has been confiscated by means of this
inequitable enforcement of the rigid
provisions of an act Of Congress.

THE Washington PdtriOt, the wOr-
thy successor of the National Hiciii-
geRcer, hiss taken psins TO show TO
the country certain facts illustrating
the condition Of the Treasury Depart
ment as exhibited by the official re-
cords of the Administration, and mas
recently pointed out the great discreP-
ancies and contradictions in the sworn
statements ofhigh public functionsries
touching the expenditures Of the Gov
eminent, amounting to millions OF
dollars. 1t has shown that the clam
or of a reduction of the public debt is
without foundation; that according to
Mr.. BOUTwELL's late Cincinnati
speech the debt has been reduced 5ut
siXty-hye millions in five years aid
four months, while war taxes are
maintained in time Of peace under the
false pretence that the debt is being
rspidly extinguished. Its statements
have been reproduced by leading
journals ell over the country, and no
Republican journal or statesman, so
lar as We have seen, has attemptsd to
disproYe them. The figures it gave
We're those Of Mr.. boutwell,; it refer
red to the book and the psge where
they can be found, and challenged
contradiction. Is it not time for some
response-some attempt at explsna-
ton. The Secretary of the Treasury
is still on tie lecture platform expiain-
ing his policy, but neither ct Boston
nor at New York did he venture an
opinion Is TO the actual amount OF
debt reduction.

THE movement in England for the
establishment of Republic at the
end of the present reign, seems to
be assuming larger proportions. The
party of Reform embraces all the
working classes, with respectable
sprinkling Of the gentry, and a few
who bear titles. On the evening of
the 10Th. Bradlaugh, the Republican
leader, addressed an immense meet
ing of workingmen in London. He
declared that the Queen was in
sane, and then called for regency,
the executive power to be intrusted
to the judges of the law and equity
courts until the Republic should be
established at some future time. The
working men demand separation of
church and state.
1t is stated in a late political des-
patch from London that q political
alliance has been effected between
some of the leaders of the conservative
party, and the representative men of
the trades-unions and working class
es. The agreement is that there
shall be introduced into the House of
Lords at the next session an elaborate
scheme of reform, which will be
pushed forward with all the strength
possible. Whether this combination
is able to accomplish the desired OBJ
ject or not, it viii, no doubt, have a
powerful influence on English poll
tics

UNITED STATES Commissioner r
w. RAYMOND estimated the total
product of gold and silver in the
United States for the year 1870, at 500.
OOO, 600, of which Navada contributes
SIG, 600, 900 and California So, 600, 900.
In addition to the bullion exported
and that coined, a large amount OF
the precious metals is used in manu-
facture here. Silversmiths and silver
platers melt up large quantities Of fine
silver liars, while it is estimated that
the gold used by the manufacturing
jewelers., electro platers and others,
reaches from SS,OOO,OOO to $4,000, 600.
Mr.. RAYMOND has evidently ia

mates are somewhat larger than
those which have been generally ac-
cepted, they may be received as re-

Triumphantly YIndie!ted.

The Joint Committee OF the Legis-
lature, appointed to investigate the
CHARGES of JOHN BANTER, of Knox
vile, against MESsRs. JONES, PURvIs
& Co., State Printers, made their re-
port to both Houses on the first inst.
Tie report is quite lengthy, 9nd
reviews every charge, declaring them
all unfounded and uusustaiued by the
proof. Neither fraud, overcharges,
corruption nor violations Of the law,
has been committed nor attempted by
the Public Printers. The Committee
say, that upon a review Of the whole
testimony, it is impossible TO cOnclusc
that JONES, PURvIs & Co., have done
or Intended to do any thing to defraud
the State, hut on the contrary have
been reasonable in their charges and
just In their demands.

GENERAL ALBERT PIKE, the emin-
ent lawyer, the gifted poet, the pro-
found Statesman, the gallant soldier,
the illustriOus Mason and the genial
gentleman, recently visited New
buryport, Mass, the place of his ma
tivity. He was taken in charge on
the evening of his arrival by party
of friends, who ordered bird supper
at one ofthe hotels. The landlord, on
learning who his would-be guest was,
informed the spokesman of the party
that there was not money enough in
the city 10 pay for supper to "a rebel
general Another publican was
found, however, whose patriotism
was not so intense, and The much
coveted greenbdcks procured The de-
sired entertainment. Had this occur

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, leading
Democratic organ in the Northwest,
has come out strongly infavor of the
nomination of HoN. THOMAS A. SCOTT
for the Presidency. Mr.. SCOTT is a
Republican, aud was Assistant Secre-
tary of War during the most trying
period of the late war. The Enquirer
argues that in order TO succeed in the
coming Presidential contest, the
Democrats must select man who
can obtain q large vote outside Of the
party and at the same time receive
the cordial support ofthe organization.
It believes Mr.. SCOTT thoroughly
sympathises with the movement to
restore the Government to its old
Democratic constitutional basis; and
concludes by saying that it has no
feeling in the matter save of securing
q victory for the friends of cOnstitu-
tional liberty, and unless GRANT can
be beaten in 1872 the cause OF free gov
eminent in the United States may be
considered lost

DURING GRIERsON's celebrated
raid through Mississippi, Genera
STEGMAN of the Confederate servic,
was surprised by a squad of Fedora
tIoops and in an exchange of shot,
was MORALLY wounded by HENRY
DILLON, a New jersey soldier. Be.
fore dying the General took from his
pocket his will, bequeathing all his
property auC an insurance policy OF
$4,000 to his wife and daughter, and
intrusted it to his slayer for safe de-
livery. Since the war DILLON has
advertised in vain for tho owners,
and finally waited to be sought for.
Recently a reward of $500 was offer
ed for the will in the Alabama papers
by General STEGMAN's daughter to
settle the title TO estates valued at
$500 900, which spurious heirs had
been trying TO get possession Of in
the courts by means of forged
check.

Our State Senator Elect.

. The returns from Lewis and HEX
man counties have not yet been Te-
ceivcd, but the election of Col. Al
EERT G. COOPER IL beyond any doubt.
Cor. COOPER lives in Lewis County,
and belongs to the COOPER family,
that has made itself quite famous in
our State since the close Of the war.
He was 2 private in the Florida war,
a Captain in the Mexican war, and a
Lieutenant Colonel in the Confede-
rate army, and served gallantly in
all of them. He is a plain, practical
farmer, possessed Of sterling good
sense, and is a mn't Of high moral
character, and will serve his district
faithfully.

THE last number of the Topographic.
cal AdccrGSs@, published at Philadel-
phia, contains the following editorial
paragraph in relation to the recent
visit OF Tennessee editors and publish
ers to that city:
We recently had the pleasure OF
joining in the welcome to our city
which was extended by our Mayor
Press delegation. They bad a good
time among Us, and We have no fear
that they will ever forget the warm
heartedness of their reception. We
have no doubt they were somewhat
astonished at the vastness OF Pniladel-
phia, the msgnificence and wonderful
beauty of the park, and the number
and immensely of her manufacturing
establishment; but they were probably
more surprise to find her citizens so
kindly disposed toward the South, and
so ardently DESTROYS to let "bygones
be bygones.p In spite of the lies and
trickery of professional politicians,
our people are gradually coming to-
gether again as one great family,
whose interests are so interlinked
that ruin must follow their severance.
Heaven speed the day when the North
and South shall strike hands in the
fulness of brotherly affection. The
time is not far distant when, her
splendid capabilities being developed,
the South will take her place with the
wealthiest sections of the Union.

THE Radical papers find no fault
with the gradual abolition of slavery
in Brazil, recently adopted by that
Government. On the contrary it is
commended az eminently wise and
Just, the best that could have been
devised for the mutual welfare of the
Nation and the people. While not
disposed to dispute this conclusion,
we are yet forced to marvel at the
discriminating judgment which de-
preciates immediate Acknowledgement
in another country, while advocating
negro rule in this.

4 Great Enterprise.

We learn from the Columbus ga. J
Enquirer that the project of connect
ing the waters of the Tennessee river
with the Atlantic ocean, by means of
a canal from Guntersville on the Ten
nessee TO Gsdsden On the COosa, and
another from point on the Etowah a
short distance above Rome to the
Ocmulgee about Macon, is just now
attracting considerable attention in
some parts of Georgia. The Enquirer
says that Major TRABEL is enlisting
the intsrest of the people in the en-
terprise by addresses at various places
in the upper part Of the State. Com
gress, at its last session, made an ap.
preparation for survey of the route,
which United States engineers are
now making. The distance to be ca
nailed is said to about $50 miles, be-
sides which there would have TO be
some money expended in improving
the navigation OF the Tennessee,
Coosa, Etowah AMI OcmuIgee rivers.
We are apprehensive that this is an
undertaking that will require more
money than Congress in its present
temper will be willing to appropriate
for improvements at the South, and
that the scutheFn people themselves
are unable to accomplish it. But Of
its great Importance aud the vast
benefits to commerce that would be
secured by it, there can be no doubt.

THE Memphis Appeal is the bold,
able and fearless champion Of low
taxes. 1t handles the question with
consummate ability and enthusiastic
devotion to the people and their best
interests, commendable Of al praise.
But while our able and respected CO.
temporary is CALAMITY hattli'g FOR the
right, We regret to see it has been led
into wrongfully assailing the position
of His Excellency, Governor BROWN.
The Alpeai cannot more earnestly
desire the relief of our people from
the burdens of oppressive taxation
than does Governor BRowN. lie on
ly wants taxation at a point that will
maintain the State Government and
protect its credit,-its financial honor
and integrity. Less the Appeal cam
not ask. The lowest rate that will
accomplish this end must subserve
the object both of His EXcel!cncy and
our cotemporary of the ArpcoL Gov
cTnor BROWN feels, rs all good citi-
zens who have the welfare and pros
perity of the State inview must feel,
a laudable pridein upholdingthe hon
or and integrity of the State; he wants
our State credit preserved, and pre-
served without unnecessarily burden
ing and taxing our people, ard 50 does
every other good citizen. No man has
more at heart the welfare OF our people
than His Excellency; and no man is
further from undue influences, from
any quarter, that would under any
circumstances control his action. His
character for an unyielding, unfaulter-
ing and uncomfortable devotion to the
best interests ofthe people Of his State,
is beyond the shadow OF q suspicion
of doubt. No man has ever been
honored with the Chief Maiistracy of
our State who possessed more fully
the confidence II tlic whole people
in his integrity, patriotism ANA deter
minatiOn 10 do his duty faithfully
and fearlessly; and whatever policy
he may advocate, whether the few or
many may approve it, all will join in
attributing motives prompted only
by the highest impulses of patriotism
and of principle.
