John Z. Vaughn, who has just been ele-
waited to the Speakership of the Senate.
They will remember, with what bitterness
of spirit they first realized how the popu-
lar voice was to be hushed. Letthe young
men and the old men throughout East
Tennessee answer how it came, that they
were forced to leave their homes and seek
refuge from the oppression of an unscru-
pulous military power. They realized
something of the manner of flushing the
popular voice by military power"
Hespeaks fuentlyo of violent partisans,"
as If the most violent partisans in the
country are not to be found in the ranks of
his own party And the charge that I'M
der a Republican Administration a lear
nival of crime unheard of in the annals of
the State was inaugurated, is directly in
face Of the truth. A carnival of crime"
was inauguTated under the Administra-
ton Ex-Governor Harris, whose Administra-
was peculiarly Democratic, that has never
been equalled in the history of Ten
nessee. The rights of men were never so
contemptuuously disregarded as I'M
der his Administration. Men were
arrested, imprisoned, some of them
hanged and many others shot, their main
offense being a difference in sentiment
and action with the dominant political
party, which party was sustaining itself
by military power"
We do not often allude to these unpleas-
ant recOllections Of the past. We would
rather they were buried in oblivion. They
are not creditable to our State, and we
know we desire to see the honor of this
Commonwealth untarnished. But if such
men as Gov. Brown choose to throw down
the glove as he has done, we must not be
blamed if we take it up. The effort
on his part to hold the Repub-
Iican party entirely responsible for
our Frustrated credit, for an alleged carni-
val of crime, for the impoverished condi-
ton of the people, and for squandering the
public revenue, is discreditable to a man of
Gov. Browns ability, and to a man who
has made such loud professions of liberali-
ty rs he has. Furthermore, the charges
are unsupported by truth. Impartial his
tory will hold Gov. Browns party as be-
ing the more guilty of the two political
parties now in existence.

a corner of the lower room, up stairs, out OF

SPONTANEOUS CoMBUsTIoN.-From expert
mcnts lately tried by one of our most skilful
chemists, the fact seems we'll established that
certain articles, such as old wearing apparel,
well-dried wood, etc., are capable Of generating
sufficient heat to induce combustion without
the application of fire. A piece Of old cotton
saturated with linseed oil and packed in chest
with old papers and rags, he found, after eight
days, so shrivelled up that the rags looked as
if they had been held near fire. Again some
old rags to which no oil had been applied were
wrapped up with two or three mathcs and
placed in i tin box which was in loft exposed
to the rays of an afternoon sun during very hot
weather After three or four days of this test the
box in which the rags had been deposited was
found to contain only some well-blackened Gin
ders In short, the various tests proved very
satisfactorily, We think, that not a few of the
numerous fires supposed to be the work of an
incendiary'' are caused by, perhaps, rag
which has been used with benzine by the fru-
gal housewife to clean 4 coat, or BY the heat
which is known to be generated from articles of
silk, cotton, etc, shut up in a close room

indicate the length of time which will be re-
