be another thought for a would

fhsti is whether this non's-mouth ar

whether the King and Parliament

Happening to drop in at the Wal
dram block for a few moments, on Fri
day, where United states Commits
sioner 5. s. Garrett was hearing the
cases of Messrs. Chapman, BOwden,
Red and Smalley, charged with vio-
iating the Ku-Klux ACT, Weconfess we
were pleased to see the whole pro-
cedure was such ss was becoming a
court Of Justice, without that appear
anee of partisan determination to con-
Wet which had been apprehended by
those who knew the partisan char
acter and purpose of the I'M
lawful act by which the accused were
TO be tried. Commissioner Garrett
deserves high respect for the intelli-
gence, impartiality and tirmness
evinced by him, both in the bearing
and the determination. The case came
here from Hardeman county, and re-
suited in a triumph Of law snd right.
Il was proved that a homicide had
been committed. But the prosecutors
and witnesses whose testimony went
10 convict the defendants were inn
peached successfully, in many respects
besides their truthfulness, and it was
made plain, from the deliberate and
fair Investigation, that the guilty par
ties were not the defendants on trial
before the court. We learn that the
prosecutors have been arrested. We
hope the guilty may not escape pun
ishmenf, either under the United
States or State laws.

ton one which has been investigated
by Professor M~sategazzi, which must
be interesting to everybody, espe-
cialIy to the lovers of sweet odOrs.
He finds that nearly all the essences
which are used in perfumery, besides
many Others, when exposed to air
and light, develop ozone. This mys-
teriOus and very active modification
of oxygen Is known to be the most
powerful of disinfectants-the disin-
fectant gdT excellence. Professor Man.
tegazZi tells Us that the oxidation of
these essences is one OF the most con-
venient means of producing ozone,
since even when In every minute
quantity they can ozonise a large
quantity of oxygen, whilst their &C
ton is very persistent. The most eff.
feetiye essences are cherry, laurel,
palm, rose, clover, lavender, mint,
Juniper, lemon, fennel and bergamOt;
those less ~effectiue are anise, nutmeg
and the thyme. The most curious of
these comparative results is that cam
phor as an ozonogenic agent is infe-
rior to all the above named essences.
In these days of c0~unter-stinks when

DIRECTORS MEETING.
Election Of OGicers of the East Tennessee
Agricultural Society. Il

The Directors of the East Tennessee Agricul-
tursl Society met yesterday afternoon, Presi-
dent James S. Boyd in the Chair.
The following gentlemen wero elected officers
for the current year
o. F. Temple, President.
9. w. Charlton, Secretary
I. III. Head, Treasurer
The officers are all men Of energy, and it
would have been difficult to select others better
qualified for the positions to which they have
been elected.
Judge Temple has always taken great interes
in farming and stock raising, and his election
cannot fail TO give additional strength to the
Society.
Mr.. Charlton has been known from the incep-
ton of the enterprise as of the strongest ad-
vecates of fairs in general and of the Eastern
Division Fair in particular. Ii is known to our
citizens that he worked with all his might, with
brain, pen and muscle, in putting the grounds
in oraer in time for the first exhibition since the
wal, N 1870 and by keeping the matter before
the IA bile made it the gratifying success il was
universally acknowledge to have been.
With Mr.. Thos. II. Head as treasurer, the
finances OF the company wall be managed on a
sound kIsiness basis, and the directors have
shown wisdom in choosing him to fill the posi-
lion.
With yaew organization the directors and
stockholders will resume work with fresh vigor
and the determination to make the expeditions
of the East Tennessee Agricultural Society a
great benefitto the farming and business classes

THE Ex-paEs1DENr AND GOV. BROWN.


H. V. r., Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
has just completed his fifteenth interview
with ex-President johnson, and writes
racy letter upon what Andy said. Among
other things he alluded to Coy. Brown,
which H. r.. reports as follows:
The ex-Presidont considers himself badly
treated by John q. Brown, the present Cover
nor of Tennessee. When Brown came out OF
the army johnson pardoned him, thus restoring
him to citizenship and protecting his property
from confscation. Brown always professed
much gratitude for this, but when johnson ran
for the Senate, The whole family of Browns
took very decided stand against him. When
Brown made his canvass for Governor, he call
ed upon the ex- President at his place. ex-
pressed his gratitude for his pardon, as it was
pearl without price at the time, and also wished
Mr.. johnson TO understand that he was not in
the caucus that caused his defeat in tho Senate
that he had been misrepreiented, &c.
The ex-Presdent talked to him pretty plain
ly, telling him that he wished to hear nothing
about gratitude, as that had played OUT He
accused Brown of having taken decided stand
against him for the Senate, and doing his best
to cause his defeat even if he was not present at
the caucus. This Brown could not deny, and
the two distinguished Tennesseeans parted cold
ly and have not exchanged observations ("
since. In Browns last speech of the canvass,
at Memphis, he pitched into johnson, calling
him "malcontent and political harlot." " |
will remember him for that" said Mr.. John
son, and intend to reply to it some of these
days

BUILDING CHURCHES.

There has never been a year in the his
tory of East Tennessee, in which so many
church buildings have been completed, as
during the present year, and they are gen
formerly. We know of more than h al
dozen churches having been built in this
county alone, and in almost every coun-
ty, especially along the line of railroad,
church edifices have gone up, and we
might say in amost every civil district.
The people all over the country appear to
be in the spirit of building churches. We
took occasion some time ago, to say some
thing in reference to the Improvement of
church architecture, and we are glad to
say in this connection, that a very marked
improvement has taken place. We allude
to the public spirit as developed in this

The following preamble and resolution
introduced into the Legislature on We'd
nesday by Hon. c. NJ. McGhee will meet
with general approval
Whereas, the railroads Of the State of Ten
nessee have, without exception, been largely
aided by the State in the loan OF her credit, by
endorsement or otherwise; and whereas, the In
terests ofthe railroads Of the State are intimate
" connected with and largely dependent upon
the prosperity of the country through which
they pass and whereas, It Is fact universally
conceded that whatever promotes the cause Of
popular education, promotes, in q correspond
ing degree, the development of the elements Of
popular wealth and prosperity therefore i
the State of Tennessee, That the railroad COM
panies of the State be, and they are hereby re-
quested, to grant TO all students nominated from
the several counties of the State, by the Repre-
sentatvcs thereof to attend the Agricultural
College, at Knoxville, EAST Tennessee Univer-
sity,) free transportation on their respective
roads, TO Knoxville and back to their homes,
making one round trip during term OF five
months. ........-
Be it further resolved, that the Governor
cause a copy of this resolution to be forwarded
to the President of each railroad company in
the State, asking written response to this re-
quest; and the Governor is requested to report
he response of each company to the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly. and in the mean
time to notify the President of the East Tcnnes-
see University of such responses
The Union and american alludes to
these resolutions in an editorial the spirit
of which we regard as commendable
This is a timely and well considered propo-
stion, and we believe, will fully attain the OBJ
iect in view. We cannot doubt that all the
railroad companies in Tennessee will, at once
and cheerfuly, comply with the very reason
able request conveyed by the resolution espec-
tally as they have been, in so large degree,
the recipients of the States bounty. They will
no doubt gladly avail themselves of tho oppor-
tunity thus afforded of making graceful re-
cognition Of the States liberality by bestowing
so handsome and yet inexpensive q benefit upon
her deserving children.
While upon this subject, we will say further
that the chief objection that has occurred to our
minds, and which has been urged by others,
against the location of the Agricultural College
at Knoxville was the cost to the students from
the Middle and Western Divisions, in getting
to and from the college We have always felt
that the fund should not be divided, but as an
original proposition, we preferred a more CEN
trail location for the institution. When the OBJ
ject sought to be attained by the resolution of
Col McGhee is accomplished, we shall feel that
no serious objection can hereafter be urged on
the ground Of location merely; and in view of
the provision of the law forbidding the removal
of the fund by the Legislature we feel that the
best we can do is to unite in an earnest effort to
make the college, as located, such an institution
as will be an honor and lasting benefit to the
State
