We will have to establish a
regular censorship of the press
for the suppression of foolish
ness. Here is a statement of a
fact going tine rounds of the
papers and exciting the organ
of wonder i'm all the editors !:
1t is said to be surprising that
of 81, 600 wounds reported to
certain surgeons Of the u. s.
Army, in the late war, only
four were of the heart. And
the deduction is made that
heart wounds seldom occur and
that it is foelishness to be- SO
often using expressions of fear
iniregard to them. Now the
surprising part of the statement
to us is that the four heart
wounds were reported al all.
For it has been a general i'm
preston, from our youth up,
that heart wounds require no
doctor. We can't argue about
the matter; but we advise
every one shot or stabbed in
the heart not to 90 the expense
of mourning a doctors bill.

Cleveland seems to be moving along in
the even tenor of her way. Nothing OF
any note has TRANSFERRED lately to disturb
the placid wave of the life current OF this
young city. Business and business men
do not seem to be particularly disturbed in
any way. No speculations are heard of,
neither are any of our business houses
closing up because of the stringency of the
money market. There seems to be very
little money in circulation, but our citizens
appear to think other towns are in the
same fix. We hear many talk of the hard
times, and what will come of it, yet little
if any difference is perceptible in the
transactions of one day as compared with
others. A few manufacturing establish
ments to work up some of the many re-
sources" of the country would surely
make a change in the tide of affairs. Stock
companies could be formed with one part
energy and ttUO parts capital
Improvements are being made in town
that are, even before they are finished, adj
ding to the appearance and of course, to
the worth of property. There are two es-
pecially worthy of notice. The one most
generally in the minds of men is the build
ing for the First National Bank of Cleve-
ldIlU. IL Is Il IIIle SIIuCluIe, NcIl,sUullG vi
the very best of material. From the
amount of iron used, it is supposed to be
proof against all attacks both from man
and the elements. SAG
The design for this building was pre-
pared by Mr.. Raht, of New York. !.
The other improvement is the M. r.
Church, which is now so nearly completed
that the beauty of its design is apparent
to all. The church will be the most per-
feet model in East Tennessee, if not in
the State. 1t is 34x52 feet, with the mod
ern improvements. The open timber roof
will make it very handsome inside, and
the four minarets, together with the belfry,
raising their points towards the sky, make
it very beautiful as it is viewed from the
front. There are so many points of beauty
about this church that we defer a deScrip-
ton of it until it is finished. The design
together with full specifications were pre-
pared by Mr.. A. &. Bruce, of Knoxville.
A temperance revival seems to have
shown its first wave last night. Surely
all your sober readers will rejoice to learn
that twenty-five gentlemen were initiated
into the "Sons of Temperance. Among
these were some of our best citizens, and
nearly all are business men and LdWycrS /!
While the sober readers rejoice, perhaps
some who deal out death and poison be-
hind the bar will tremble a little. These
twenty-five mean business, and this means
less business in certain quarters.

WE have never heard of anything more
supremely ridiculous than the everlasting
clamor among Democrats for Civil Service
Reform. Every school-boy knows that
that party was the first to adopt the cry,
"to the victors belongs the spoilS, and il
has not been 50 long since that party was
in power that men cannot remember the
notorious inef1iciency of the civil service
under its management. It's species OF
hypocrisy which only Democratic polltI-
clans can act out to perfection. No well
Informed man would expect to see civil
service reform under Democratic admin
istration. Tennessee furnishes an exam
pie of Democratic reform.

WHO MAKES THE CHARGES.

One of the charges made against Presi-
dent Grant by his enemies, is that he is
guilty of receiving presents. He is charg-
ed with receiving anything and every
thing almost, from terrier dog up to a
stately mansion and broad acres of fertile
lands. Now from whence do such charges
come? Who is it that raises such a clam
or? What is the character of those Origi-
mating such charges? Nine-tenths of them
come from such Iow-down prostituted
sheets as the New York Sun. Many of
them originate with incompetent, worth
less scamps, who have at some time or
other during the late war, been defeated in
unworthy schemes for their own aggran-
dizement, at the expense of the Govern
ment, and TO the detriment of brave men
in the Federal army.
Every one is acquainted with the his
tory of the disappointed office seeker who
controls the editorial columns of the San,
He has pursued the President with vim
dictiveness which is proof positive of the
low instincts by which he is animated,
and there is no man of character in the
nation who would care to form an opinion
based upon anything he might state. The
cry is kept up by pot-hOusc politicians
who, like pack of small terriers, can
make great racket, but never hurt any
one. While the President performs his
duties as he has done, and pursues the dig
nified course which has characterized his
actions in the past, he will suffer nothing
from their idle chatter.

pays the following tribute to the memory
of Lieut. Gov Oscar j. Dunn, whose de-
mise has been announced in our dis
patches:
oscar James Dunn is dead! A noble
citizen and devoted servant of State has
passed to a better freedom than that to
which he aspired for his beloved Louisiana.
As yet it is difficult for us to command be-
lief in the painful bereavement that our
pen records. His demise was so sudden,
and our Nvid remembrance of his fore
cast, four days since, of better cheer and
promise for Louisiana in the direction of
REFORM fingers vain but stubborn protest
against the unhappy tidings that his lip
has spoken its last word on earth.
"All the energies he had cOnsecrated to
the cause of liberty are stilled, and to-day
he lies awaiting sculpture in tie soil upon
which he walked an honest man. There
is not citizen of Louisiana who is not be-
reft of friend in the decease of Oscar j.
Dunn. We have no rcbuke to pronounce
upon ungenerOus men who have of late
charged Governor Dunn with a purpose to
incite a war of races. There is a truce du-
ring this solemn hour before we commit
our honOred dead to the dust"
