Athens Items.

The first half of the first collegiate term OF the
East Tennessee Wesleyan University closed
yesterday and the last half begins to-day. About
one hundred and twenty students have been In
attendance, and a considerable increase is now
hoped and expected. A course of lectures and
a concert is spoken of, to come off during the
coming winter, for the purpose of procuring a
better supply of apparatus.
At a recent meeting of the Athenian Literary
Society of the University, the following roll OF
officers was elected
SV Hunt, President; 7 G Carter, Vice Pres
ident; l. T Smith, Recording Secretary; a NJ
Presnell, Corresponding Secretary; j Nj Car
ter, Treasurer; b A Bolton, Critic; w ii jew
ell, Sergeant-at Arms M M Callen Editor; j
NJ Patterson Assistant Editor.
The Philomathean Society have also elected
their officers as follows:
G w Cannon, President; j Rumburge,
Vice President A d Wexler, Critic; L A ID
o. Brien, Recordig Secretary; d Wester, Cor
responding Secretary; G M Callen, Treasurer
j Perry, Sergeant-at-Arms Q Long, Ed
itor A ID Wexler, Assistant Editor.
The unhappy controversy in regard to the
possession of the Methodist Church property at
this place has been settled by compromise. The
NJ. T. Church, South, will hereafter occupy the
church, and the members of the M. E. Church
worship in the chapel of the East Tennessee
Wesleyan University, which is very convenient
and well adapted for such purpose: 1t is to be
hoped that this compromise, satisfactory to all
concerned will bring about a better state OF
feeling between the two churches. &. NJ M.

Recorder's court.

Mrs. Catherine Berry, who keeps a small
liquor saloon on Gay street, was before His
Honor yesterday, on charge, in two cases, OF
violating the ordinance prohibiting the sale or
gift of spirituous liquors on Sunday. The cor
ton and j. NJ. King, Esqs., and the defendant by
Messrs Ray and Fiournoy Quite number OF
witnesses, pro and con, were examined, and eio-
quent were the appeals Of counsel, but in the
first case, Mrs. Berry was adjudged guilty OF
dollars and costs An appeal from the decision
was taken, and the case goes up to the Circuit
Court. The second charge, owing, perhaps, to
an error in the warrant, fell to the ground.

Prussia's Little Game.
WILL SHE WIN !

Count BiSmarck-indeed, for short
ness, if not for sweetness SAX c, we might
simply say the Coupt-iSsued a circular
a fortnight ago charging the King of
HN Hand, who is also Grand Duke of Lux
enlhurg, with having refused transit to
fruSSian wounded, allowed the rcvctu-
alling of Thionvile, and doing what not
besides. This circular was merely issued
with a view to get Luxcmburg cheap.
1t is now bought by Prussia; and will bc
annexed before this is presented to the
evr.s of onr readers. Holland itself will
follow before many days. The King will
fill his pockets and retire from the royal
box. If he does not, he will get an al
lowance of steel instead of cash. On the
lst Of January next, therefore, Prussi,,
hopes to he mistress of all Dutc!land,
and to be ready with her broom to
sweep away all opposition to her suprem-
acy in Enrope. Meantime Russia is con-
ccntrating her forces ON the borders Of
Turkey, SO that Caesar and Pompev-
both being very like-have it all their
own way. This IL, however. only one
side of the picture. The opposite is 4
blood red daub, On which Trochu and
De PAladines are waving their scarlet
brushes, while here and there Prussia is
while France is discovering
in her prosperity many friends whom the
hunted hare had failed to see. All this
is not merely Oh the cards, but is pr"bable
in q very high degree. SO much for the
European supremacy OF Prussia. Man

The war has developed French iHven-
tive genius in a high degree: Among
other powerful engines Of war, is an
armor-p plated locomotive, furnished with
two powerful mitrailicnrs, also l'rotetts'tl
by arn,or. Then there is the Marckder-
berg mitrailleur, firing two hundred AND
fifty balls minute, and the Montigny,
firing four hundred and eighty, as well
as the Durant steam mitraiileur, which
discharges no less than four Thousand
five hundred in the same space Of time,
and the ..Faucheuse," or mower, which
is said to operate without noise, smoke
or fire, to have a range of FROM five hun
dred to six hundred yards, and to cost
only thirty-G%e francs, with all the nee
essary apparatus for firing three hun
dred thousand projectiies. Besides there
are many. new kinds Of shells, among
which are the Gandin fire comb, the i'm
nroyed Menestrol shell. bombs emitting
suffocating vapors. But the most Won
dcrfnl thing was lately examined by a
military commission. 1t is rocket,
costing little to manufacture and easy to
fire, and is said to.ilave 4 range of three
or four miles. During one of the trials a
rocket was fred agaiast large iron tank tank
filed With water, catIsing the liquid to

the air, the tank and its supports were
thrown skywards and descended again,
broken into small fragments. Luckily
for the Prussians, ana perhaps for the
French. too, the commission were st

results Of this experiment. that they hesl

absolute predominance of the Re.
publicans had vanished, though
the large majority by which Gen
Gralrt was elected and the number
OF the republican candidates sent
to Congress, testified to the GEN
crai distavor in which the Demo.
Gratis were still held.
Now after the lapse oftwo wears
two elections to Congress have
again been held, and we have an
opportunity of Judging whether
III the interval the democrats have
succeeded in gaining further
ground. We have received by tel
egraph the results of these elcc-
tlons in the several States, and it
must be acknowledged that the
gains of the Democrats are very
substantial. The
most significant circumstance in
connection with the present cleo
tions and the gains of the Demo-
cratic party is the fact that under
the provisions OF tue Fifteenth a.
mendment of the Constitution the
negroes have exercised the fran
chlse. When the republican, party
insisted upon comforting this pol
itical privilege on men who till
within the last few years, We're re-
garded as mere chattcl>, and de-
MED the comlnontst civil rights,
they rcckoncd, and, as might have
seem, with much probability, on
securing the support of those to
whom they have proved themsel-
YES benetactors. The negroes Of
the Southern States were made to
believe that the war was undertake
cn for their liberation, and that
their emancipation and political
entr;lnchiseneut were the great
objects which the Northern States
had in view in cXpcu1ing SO much
blood and treasure. It must, how
ever, be admitted, if We may
judge from the present election
returns, that the cmancipated ne
grocs evince but little gratitude
for those who claim to have done
so much for them. In Alabama,
for example, the Democrats have
secured five Uut OF six seats, ms
tead of the two which they I'LL in
tLe'present Congress. In Virginia
they equal y preponderate, and in
Kentucky they command almost
the whole representation. How
this phenomenon is to be explain
ed we know not, but it would al
most seem as if the former slaves
had greater confidence in their
old masters than in those disin-
tarested friends who have confer
red on them so many privileges.
One thing, lat all events, is evi-
dent. The Democratic party has
thus now, for the first time since
the close Of the civil war, a pros
pect for opposing and vindicating
it's views in Congress, and indie
pcndent}y of the general work of
reorganization, which is still far
from complete, the new Congress
will be>callcd upon to deal with
the proposed reduction in the tar
iff, and must attempt to grapple
with the immense financial diff
culties which have been bequeath-
ed by the civil war.

The following resume of the sit
nation Of affairs in this country is
from the London Post OF tue 1lth
nltin,o, and is entitled to none the
less respect as coming from an in
dependent locker on across the
wafer:
1T the results OF the elections
held in the U.-States on Tuesday
Last, are to he accepted as indicat-
i've of the state Of public feeling
a very marked change has taken
place within the Last two years in
The position of the two great pol
itical parties in the republic. Un-
til the election of Mr.. Lincoln to
the presidency, exactly ten years
ago, the Democrats had enjoyed
on uninterrupted supremacy, and
even then their defeat was due,
not to their own Inherent weak
ness, bat to theirinability to agree
in the choice OF a candidate. Since
then. however, the republican star
has been in the ascendant, and
the victorious faction has not.
scrupled to employ their newly
acquired strength to- keep their
opponents in absolute subsection.
Nor'was this very surprising. On
the outbreak of the civil war the
same line which separated the
hostile camps equally divided the
two political factions; the DEM
oerats, wherever resident, wheth-
in the North or South, accorded
all their sy1npathr to the YOUTH
full Contetleraey. III the Southern
States, men were almost univer-
sally Democrats, while in North
eth, Or at least in those which
gave their hearty support to the
established government, Republic
canism reigned not only supreme,
bat practically alone. Whatever
may have been the ostensib!e OBJ
jects'of the war, lit was in one
sense a struggle for prtdomlnance
between the two powerful fac
tiqns, ,alid when that war termin-
atM,ahe vanquished as matter
OF c6nfse, were compelled to sut-
fer. The Union was declared to
bHierestablished, but the South
eFn States were submitted to a
special military government, and
were denied the privilege Of send
ing representatives to Congress.
The Stain Of previous rebellion
was made the convenient excuse
for excluding, from Congress the
immense bulk Of the Democratic
REPRESENTATIVES, and the Republi-
cans saw themselves by this
means, enabled to legislate for the
republic without even the shadow
ofoIposition. In the North, where
the sapreme power lay, this course
of proceeding appeared equally
