Jonesboro, May %, 1871. =
WHEREAs-It has pleased an All wise
Providence to call from "labor to refresh
ment," u worthy Brother ROBERT s.
FERGUSON, who by his devotion to Mason
ry had endeared himself to the brethren
of the fraternity, and whose sun of life
suddenly went down thereby causing a
bright star to fall from our mystic constella-
ton. Therefore be it
Resolced, That we tender to the family
and friends of our worthy Brother our
heartfelt sympathy in this their sad
bereavement and bid them find consolation
in the hope that the spirit of our departed
brother is at rest, where labor will be res
umed no more.
ResolUed, That in the death of our
brother the Lodge has suffered an ~irrepara-
BILE loss, and that we wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these pro-
ceedings, be furnished the HERALD AND
TRIBUNE, Tennessee Patriot, and Union
Flag, for publication, and that a copy of
the same be sent to the bereaved family.

U COUNTY FAIR.

Industrial fairs have become so common
and such highly beneficial results have in
variably attended them, that the county
that has not the energy and spirit to get
up one is justly considered a poor one-a
disgrace to its neighbors and the State
To the shame of Washington county be it
said that her people have manifested but
little interest in this direction, and since
the war, nothing has been done, until
quite recently, resembling the first step
towards this important public enterprise.
Upon a few citizens the burden of arrange-
ments and expense devolve, and a ma
jority of our citizens are totally Indifferent
as to the project. We have a creditable
amount of good horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs, and the infusion of new ideas, whose
probability have been tested by the expert
ence and observation of scientific nus
bandry. are working wonderful changes in
our method of farming. Nothing is surer
than the enthusiasm and the ambitious
spirit of generous rivalry aroused by such
displays, to facilitate the introduction of
new discoveries in the art of tillage and
the improvements that make labor
an easy, pleasant and profitable use of four
time and strength.
We must have a fair this coming fail.
That is settled. Every member of the
community must contribute his utmost as
sistance. The ladies. too, must make pre-
parations to display to the world the taste
and good management displayed in the re-
gulation of their households. Let no eff
fort, pains or reasonable expense be SPAR
ed to make our fair a grand success. This
is the duty of one and all. About seventeen
hundred dollars have already been sub
scribed. and it is the purpose of the mana
gers to raise as much as possible. This
looks like business.

NOT SO FAST.

The Tennessee Patriot evidently i'm
AGNES because we have seen proper to
treat it with that courtesy which we hoped
it would continue to deserve, that it can
indulge in any sort of misrepresentation
where we are concerned, with impunity.
Under cover of a pretended conversation
with a Democrat who must nave been as
stupid as himself. the editor accuses us of
starting out as Conservative and when we
had received the support of that party.
turned Radical. Now, either the Editor
has Intentionally misrepresented us in this
matter, or he manifests more stupidity
than we ever gave him credit for. Turning
to the first number of our paper, we find
the following expression:
In politics. we shall advocate the
principles of the National Republican
Party, as set forth in the Chicago Plat
FORM"
Again, in number two of our paper we
find the following:
eve shall continue to labor in the fu-
ture, as in the past, with the Republican
Party of the Nation.'
We would ask any fair minded reader
if there is a possibility of any one being
misled by a statement of that kind?
The only essential difference between
our Platform and that of other Republi-
can papers in Tennessee was, that we adj
vocated Universal Suffrage" and we are
in favor of it to-day. We would not take
the privilege of the Franchise from any
man who holds it in accordance with law.
We at that time condemned the Ku Klux
Khan, and we abhor it still. We con-
demned the action of the Commissioners
of Registration in issuing certificates con-
trary to law, and we still condemn it.
And now will the Editor of the Patriot
have the manliness to publish this in re-
~futation of his charge of our having prac-
ticed duplicity toward the conservative par
ty or retract what he said in his last issue?
Or will he consider it entirely unnecessary?
We rather look for the latter in view of
the light estimation he evidently places
on o~ffenses of that nature. He having
himself performed some of the most as
founding feats of ground and lofty tumb-
ling on record since the war to say moth
ing of his tortuous course throughout that
eventful period, it is not surprising
that he considers others as Indifferent to
accusations of that character as he has
shown himself to be.

DISGRACEFUL.

The US. Senate isin Executive session,
called together to consider the proposed
treaty between England and our country.
This treaty was prematurely published in
the New York Tribune. and its two
Washington correspondents were sum-
moned before the bar of the Senate to
testify how they came into possession of
it. In this they have failed but exculpste
all members, officers and attaches of the
Senate. They have been arrested and
placed in the custody of the Serg't-At-
Arms. This is a shameful outrage on the
liberty of the press, whose infamy will
long survive the Senate.

The Rev. Benjamin Eaton, first and
only rector of Trinity Episcopal church,
Galveston, was stricken with death while
standing in his pulpit last Sunday. The
Galveston Neacs thus describes the efec-
ting scene.
He assembled the pulpit. Announcing
his text, ''There is yet room," all tremb-
ling beneath the weight ofhis last message
friends of his youth, and the
COMMITMENTS of his church that had gone
before, He painted Death entering the
church door, passing up the bread isle, lay
ing his hand to the right and to the left
breathed his cold, clammy breath ON the
cheek of beauty, and waiting the silver
hairs of age. Now touching the father,
then the son here the mother, there the
daughter, as the specter so plain to his en-
tranced vision advanced to the chancel all,
and as he saw that his time had come, his
words struggled for utterance. He fall
tered. His weakening limbs staggered.
A gentleman who advanced to his assis-
lance was waved back. For ten minutes
more he spoke, his words only audible to
those near him. The excitement of the
audience was fearful. Three times he
struggled to continue, saying: Il am very
sick, but 1 must say Again he stagger-
ed. He fell into the arms Of Mr.. G.. b.
Hughes, abe raised his hands to pronounce
the benediction. Like Moses, that other
servant of God, he was too weak to hold
up his hands, which was done by Mr..
Hughes, as he said his last pulpit words,
ITO God, the Father" His tongue refused
to speak further his hands dropped. He
was carried to his rectory, where he died.

The lawless and numbering democracy
of the "Old North State have gained no
advantage by the decapitation of Governor
Holden. nor realized any protection in a
continued preparation of night-whipping
and assassination, under the new admins
tration. From the brave and determined
manner, in which the present Executive
incumbent. Todd R. Campbell, has set
out to bring about tranquility and safety
in that State, he promises to be a swift
and fearful avenger of Ku Klux barbara
ties. He has just issued a strong and stir
ing appeal, invoking the assistance of the
people by moral influence and ministers of
the Gospel by the preaching of the Word
in all the power of its infexible Justice
In a conversation with a N. Y. Herald re-
porter, he asserts that there are a half
dozen leading men in the State, whose dis
countenance and deuunciation of this clan
of desperadoes will put an end to the ter
rorism universally prevailing, and restore
peace and the supremacy of law to this i'm
periled and crime-cursed people, and yet
they maintain an imperturab complacancy
and a criminal silence, amid all this wild
chaos Of social disorders. aud under every
circumstance of horror and lawlessness.-
He further asserts that the Ku Klux or
panization can not be justified by the de-
fence, that it is a counter-movement a.
gainst the Union Leagues. The League

~istence, committed no outrages, either in

The Fastest Tretter IN the World
A 2:I5 Horse.

The chances are that the celebrated
horse Dexter will have to take a back seat
before long. Yesterday. at the park, the
mysterious Sanford horse" was driven
around the track in a sulky by "Yank"
Smith, who has the animal in his charge.
The first half mile was trotted over at a
moderate speed, but on the last mile Smith
let him out, and he crossed the score in
l :07. Keeping right on, at a swower trot
till the last half mile was reached, the
wonderful horse was urged to his speed,
and made the last half mile in l :071.
His time was noted by several reliable and
experienced parties, among whom may be
mentioned Charley Shear and George
Gilbert. Leland Stanford. the owner of
the horse. was also on the ground. There
is no doubt about this time having been
made, and it is the fastest on record. A
well-known sporting gentleman who saw
the trial, offered to wager 81 900 that he
could take the horse for a week and drive
him a mile in 2:15. The horse has a
somewhat romantic history, and, like many
bipeds in this country. his elevation from
bard work and obscurity to fame and ease
has been rapid and remarkable. Not
many months ago he did service in a
butchers cart in this city. and was sold
for the maltry sum of $3.50. Stanford.
