,Brownlow's Views.
What he thinks about the Prcsi-
dential Question.

Knoxville Correspondence of the New
York Times.
While in Knoxville, / paid my
respects to the "fghting parson.
Hound the Senator in much bet
ter health than / had expected,
though badly afflicted with the
rheumatism or palsy. His voice,
though low, is clear and distinct
tie welcomed me cordially, and,
had a pleasant half hours con.
versation with Linn. He is still
exceedingly bitter. as he has, per-
haps peculiar right to be, and is
as ultra in his views in the one
direction as Mr. Stephens is in
another. His first remark was
that "he did not know what /
thought about If, but these people
referring to the Southerners) had
the very devil in them" He is a
warm friend of Grants, and re-
CARDS him as certain to be the
next President, although the fight
will be a "close one" Sumner,
he thinks, hurt himself more
than he did any one else, and has
his own boundless ambition to
blame for hls course. As a man,
he admires Sumner exceedingly.
Grant, he said, was ga little green"
when he first came into office,
but he was being educated into
statesman. He thought that he
possessed more ability than he
had been given credit for. Be-
ing asked il he did not regret the
inability to speak, he said some
times he did, but that sit was bet
ter for both himself and for the
Senate that he could not, since if
he could he would always be in a
row." He had voted with the
extreme Radicals and always
should. As to the nonsense about
"empire" and GENERALIZATION" he
preferred an empire with such as
he was with to the sort of De-
mocracy the rebels sought to es-
tablish. Though evidently in
feeble health the Senator looks
as though he could stand the
wear and tear of many years to
come, and he is the same un-
compromising, bitter and persis-
tent hater of rebels and rebellion
that he always was.

Iy a hundred fold Placarding

they more than pay the expense,

Those highly virtuous individ-
uals who send money to the New
York "Sawdust" swindIsrs in the
hope ofreceiving a return Of coun-
terteit money are likely to come to
grief. Their letters are to be re-
tanned and opened at the New
York post office, and the name of
the writer forwarded to the post
master where written, with In
structions to post it conspicuously
inthe Office with statement of
the facts. The idea is a good one,
and if carried out some rich devel-
opments may be expected. The
man who is mean enough to buy
counterfeit money with the inten-
ton OF passing it upon unsuspect-
ing neighbors, is mean enough to
steal his neighborS' sheep if he
thought be would not get found
out. and it is right that the public
should be informed of his inten-
ton.

[Trom the TroY (N. - Times.]

/ tRIOH tue Troy IN III IlmeS.l
| Among the marriage announce
ments yesterday was that of Ly.
man +. Granger to Mrs. Harriet
A Bartram, both Of Green Island.
Mr.. Granger and Mrs. Bartram
are the parties whose respective
wife and husband eloped together
last winter, and went IN the di-
rection of Chicago, St. Louis, San
Francisco, etc. Bartram had been
a-railroad man, and was well sup
piled with passes by various rail-
road officials. Before leaving it
was said that he drew several thou.
sand dollars from an Albany bank.
The Intimacy had been long sus-
tpected, and when Mrs. Bartram
Ireproached her husband for bis
improper condnct he promised
her to amend; showed her bis pass
es, and told her that they were
intended for an extended pleasure
tour for herself. He accompanied
her as far as New Haven, where
he disappeared, but afterwards
wrote a farewell letter from New
York, enclosing $50. o. e s
al Shortly afterward Mrs. Granger
left home with a brother. Granger
traced this pair to Albany, where
he found they lad put up at a ho-
telover night, registering as bus-
band and wife and occupying the
same apartment. They are sup
posed TO have met BaItram in
New York, and he, took the wo-
man and departed for the West.
Soon after the elopement Mr..
Granger came into possession of
about 500 by the death of his
father, with another $4,000 in
prospect. He placed his child,
about five years old, to board with
Mrs. 3artrafn, and sued for d.
xorce. To aid Mrs. Bartram and
save expehseshe joined a like suit
for her with his own, and both
were successful in the same court.
The decision in Mrs. Bartram's
case was, Of course, final, and she
was freed from her unfaithful hus-
band. Bnt'on Mr.. Changers re-
turn she appealed from the decis-
ion Of the court. Judge Boekes
of Saratoga ordered the case re-
for further hearing. Mrs.
Granger was undoubtedly anxious
to secure q share in her husbands
good fortune, and claimed that she
could prove unfaithfulness on bis
part equal TO her own. But she
never appeared before the judge to
sNbstantiate her claim, and after
waiting q weeks the decree of
divorce was reaflirmed, and Gran
ger, like Mrs. Bartram, was free.
The sequel of this whole business
is the marriage.

A poor soldier in New Hamp-
shire, who, after three applications,
succeeded in getting $l00 bounty,
sent at once $40 to an uncle who
had loaned him that amount when
be was In desperate need. A few
days ago the uncle died, and by
his will left the almost penniless
soldier all his estate, valued at
100000, giving as his reason for
SO doing that he had many times
lent money to his relatives, and
he alone had repaid him.
