found that there was room for score or more
behind while in front there were pews entirely
vacant. He meant simply this. that behind
was the only proper place for colored man to
worship, and that it would be improper even
there for him to be in the same pew with
white person. / was confirmed in these con-
victions by observing that every seat behind
was occupied by some white person, and that
there were others coming in at the same time,
seating themselves in these very pews which
were asserted to be taken.
Professors Of religion who take such a course
as this do more to promote the interest of Satan
than to further the cause of Christ. They are
but whited sepulchers, stumbling blocks in the
way of sinners, and are making more infdels
to day than any other cause on earth. 1t is a
humliating fact that the Church is to-day be-
hind the State; for, while colored men are
allowed ah the political rights and privileges
OF other men by the State, they are ostracised
and insulted by the Church If there is any
place on earth where man should be treated
as man, where ell should enjoy one common
brotherhood, that place should be the Church.

when they saw me enter, they made way, how
ever, for me to get up the aisle, where l stood
and worshipped through the hour. There
was no old man there whose heart was so

around me, appearing to be concerned about
nothing but the devotions they were perform.

His actions were so perfectly natural and
Christian.ike that we could but commend
him for his noble example. have long since
resolved never to worship in church where a
spirit of caste was manifest, and l would that
every colored man would adopt the same rule.
For church cannot commit greater sin
than to have its back pews or galleries, or any
other part, set apart for certain class on ac-
count of color, or any other condition and
those who suffer themselves to be subjected to
it, commit sin both against God and man.

The Thunderer OH General Grants
Admin istratiOn.
From the London Times, October 81


Various causes have combined to produce
the prevalence of Republican views. Ofcourse,
the great achievements of the war, and the con
viction that the party may be best trusted TO
secure aud consolidate what it has gained III
the contest, arc the enduring bases of the Re
publican power. But to these may be added
the administrative and financial success of the
last few years, and the favorable relations of the
country with foreign powers. AT the same
time il would seem that the Republican party
has, whether justly or otherwise, lost caste.
A large ma jority OF the best class of Americans
are Republicans; perhaps for the reason that
some of the worst have taken the lead in GER
tain places on the other SIDE The city of New
York has to bear the blame of this unpopular
ity OF che Democrats. It Is observed that since
the exposure of the Tammany frauds the Re-
publican feeling has deepened, and the late
elections may have been largely influenced by
this incident.
The general opinion is that President Grant
will be nominated for reelection. In favor OF
this course will be the respect he has won, not
only from the Republicans, but from the mod
crate men of all parties, by bis honest and
conscientious discharge of duty, and the
knowledge of the electors that they have in
him a tried man fit for any emergency of the
time. On the other side, there is only the
prejudice against electing the same man twice.
This feeling has been very strong with the
present generation of Americans, and has, We
believe, made a single term for the Presidency
almost cardinal principle with some politl
clans. 1t was not SO in the early days OF he
Union.
1t remains to be seen whether General Grant
merits and popularity will secure him this high
honor. We can only say that such a result OF
the coming discussions would be received with
the utmost satisfaction in this country. The
interests of England and the United States are
now so interviewer in commercial, and, there
fore, also in political matters, that the character
of the American Executive is of no small i'm
portance to US, and we believe the general
opinion to be, that the States have never had q
Government more straightforward and con.
ciliatory than the present In its foreign policy
and more to be trusted by those whose com.
mercal and financial interests are bound up
with the maintenance of American credit. The
frmness and moderation with which order has
been restored, the economical skill with which
the debt has has been reduced, and the good
will with which international controversies have
been brought to a close, make US anticipate
with satiiaction the election of General Gran,
to a second term of Office.

FRANK BLAIR's FARMrNG.-In his speech at
Meridian Frank Blair paid his respects to
Governor Alcorn In terms far more pointed
than complimentary. Among other things he
said that Alcorn was politically unreliable.
and counselled the coored people not to
follow him. Now, we conclude that his advice
to the negroes Of Mississippi is rather out OF
place, since il is remembered that in 1866
Frank tried his hand at farming in Louisiana,
failed for several thousand dollars. and left
some two hundred colored people on the plant.

Mr.. McGaryey, an Indian trader. saws

MIR. McGarvey, an Indian trader, says
that among the $500 or $4,000 worth of
goods that he sells the Indians year, are
included eight hundred or thousand pounds
of soap. That is a better indication of civiliza-
ton than iron or salt, without which Emerson
says that civilization cannot exist. The Klam-
aths live in houses made of puncheons or thick
plank, with circular cavity inside, dug three
or four feet in the earth, wherein they sit up in
circle. Sometimes this pit is something
like an amphitheatre, with a seat half way up,
running all the way around. They eat down
in the pit, and sleep on the bank above, on a
level with the earth. 1t is not at all uncom.
mon to see coffee, bread, matches, crackers, etc.,
in their cabins. They battle their entire per-
sons every morning.

Interesting Services.

{ A very interesting incident occurred in the
Methodist Episcopal Church in this city, last
Sabbath p. NJ, in connection with the love feast
services being held therein. Rev. j. 4. Eads,
the highly esteemed pastor and popular preach
er who has had charge of this church for the
past year, being about to remove to Illinois,
made some very feeling remarks to the friends
assembled, counseling them to faithfulness in
the Christian life, and expressing regrets that
he had done so little for their good, but hoping
to meet them in the Kingdom above. AT the
close of his remarks, Rev. S. w. Russell arose
and in few pertinent remarks, introduced the
following preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted by a rising vote, amid man.
lifestations of deep emotion by the audience;
WHEREAS, In the providence of God our
beloved pastor, Rev. j. r. Eaas, is about to re-
move from US to another field OF labor; there
fore,
ResoLved, 1st. That if is with great reluctance
and regret that we part with him.
RESOLVED, I'd. That we highly appreciate his
labors as a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ
since he has been With US, and hold in kindest
remembrance his efforts to build up the king
dom of Christ in our hearts and in our city, and
we joyfully unite in assuring MIN that his la
bors have not been in vain in the Lord.
ReSolUed Sd. That we assure him of our
heartfelt we'll wishes for his continued useful
ness and happiness, and that of his family, and
that our prayer shall be that God s.rchest bless
ings may rest upon him and them, and that we
may all finally meet in heaven.
RcsoLred, 4th. That copy Of this preamb BILE,
and that these resolutions be presented to Mr..
Eads in testimony of our Christian affection for
him and his, and as token of our lasting in

Railroad Accidents.

As the passenger train was coming up yester-
day morning cow was run over at Tyner's Sta
ton, the first depot this side of Chattanooga. at
about o'clock, when the foremost car. a second
class coach was thrown from the track. For
tunately no body was hurt.
\ front axle of the car which was thrown off
being broken, it was impossible to put things to
rights and come ahead, so all the passengers
were got into the mail and baggage cars
and brought on to Cleveland, where two coach
es were procured, and the train came on TO
Knoxville arriving but little behind time.
Yesterday afternoon the down passenger train
ran over a COW, a mile east of Sweetwater,
which threw the engine and express car from
the track, badly wrecking both and causing the
death of the fireman, d. A. Collins. The ex-
press messenger, J. j. Tibbs, was injured
Slightly, but beyond these no one else was
hurt.
Mr. Collins death is universally regretted BY
his friends, He leaves wife and three child
rem. His remains were expected to arrive this
morning. and will probably be inferred this

ply the demand. We dare not trife with tie
public by making promises we cannot fulfil.
We know exactly what we are about For the
present we obligate ourselves to furnish female
servants from Birmingham, England, and male
laborers from Dundee, Scotland. To the ladies
of Knoxville, and elsewhere, we say, most posi-
lively, that we can, in six weeks, furnish them
with smart reliable, clean and tidy servants.
Try US, and see if we do not do this very thing.
To the farmers of East Tennessee we say that
we can supply them with any kind of laborers
they need-5gardseners, stock raisers, dairym1en,
for our services, and the applicant must pay the
passage fare (about $4,000 upon the delivery of
the servant, which amount is taken out of his
wages. No risk is incurred. We guarantee
servants and laborers of good character. AS
we want to send forward large order in fifteen
days, we hope orders will come in by that time.
