beard to complain that Nashville is the
hottest place in the United States, but the
remark is seldom made with implicit reli-

or complaint can be truthfully made.
Nashville was yesterday officially recog-
nized, as will be seen by reference to our
Geographic weather report, as the hottest
place in the country-96 in the shade
Our citizens, no doubt, fully appreciate the

NEW YORK, Aug. "A special dis
patch from the City of Mexico says there
are still doubts about the election. The
permanent deputation of Congress wants
new elections in various places where
there were informslities. A revolution
now exists against the Governor of Ia,
basco. The cause is local and rather per-
sonal. There are rumors current that
Gov. Disz refuses to give up to the Federal
government the guns of Oaxaca, which
were captured in 1867. 1t is probable
that Gems. Roche and Atsrne will go with
troops to enforce the delivery.

serenaded by his companions in arms. A
large crowd was present. Having been
called for and introduced by General Battle,
he made speech returning thanks for the
compliments, attributing it to the Partially
Of his comrades rather than his merits. He
did not seek such compliments, nor did he
affect indifference to them, and in casting
up the sum of the LIES griefs and pleasures,
he would place this occasion in the scale Of
pleasures. He did not now make speeches.
and it would not be expected Of him. He
doubted whether he could say anything
that would be mere appropriate than to ex-
press the hope that all were doing some
thing. He said no idle or repininR man
ehould receive or be entitled to the respect
Of man or Of woman. He concluded by
saying he would return in full measure the
affection exhibited to hun. While he re-
NAMED the same man as in past years, Ten
nessee was associated with great scenes and
with many dear recOllections of his life, and
he would invoke blessing upon her.

ton has been received here from York and
the adjoining counties of Spartansburg and
Chester, stating that the greatest excitement
exists there, owing to the summary pro-
~eeedines Of the United States maxshal and
troops. Forty flour citizens were arrested
and crammed into Jail which is already
full of negroes. several hundred citizens
have deserted their homes in consequence
Of Wholesale arrests, and sought refuge in
the woods until an opportunity presents
itself to seek safety in more distant fight.
"A reign Of terror exists In that entire Sec
ton Of the State, and depredations are
being committed on the property Of citizens
who have fed by negroes and other evil
disposed persons.
A fight il said to have taken place on
Broad river between Q band of Ku-Klux
and some United States troops, and tho
conflict was 90 severe that achievements
have been called for.
WASHINGTON, October 2l.-Advices re-
ceiyed here from South Carolina state that
at Spartansburg on Wednesday evening

and disguises. Up to Friday morning sew

other counties, but the number is not known
here. Attorney General Alderman is still

A number Of well known citizens are
missing, including Lyle, member of the
Legislature. who is reported to be the chief
of the khan for that district. Among these
who have disappeared are two or three
ciergymen, noted for their strong rebel pro-
clivities.
The officers Of the law are proceeding
steadily with their work, and before the ar
rests are all made they will. it is affirmed,
show the existence Of . deep and wide
spread conspiracy against the State laws
and all who sustain them.
Most Of the Ku-Klux refugees are known
to have fed to Georgia, where the order is
quite strong. The grand cyclops for that
state is believed to be q son-in.law of Rob
