KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 27.-Ex-Presi-
dent johnson addressed to-day large and
intelligent audience, composed of mechanics
and other citizens Of Knoxville and others
from the surrounding country.
A procession of mechanics and citizens
was formed at an early hour in the morn
ing, and was about one mile in length
President johnson road in carriage in the
tailors' part of the procession, and after
marching through several of the principal
streets OF the city the procession moved to the
fair grounds, though the weather was ez-
cessively hot.
Mr.. johnson spoke amid great disadvan-
tages, owing to the confined atmosphere in
the Exposition building and loud noise made
by visitors walking in the upper story, He
nevertheless spokes nearly three hours.
He stated that he was mechanic, and
proud indeed to acknowledged. He would
address his audience in reference to mea-
sures involving the highest interests of the
labor and mechanism of the country. He
then spoke against the policy of the State
in allowing penitentiary labor to come in
conflict with honest labor. AS a general
thing, he thought prisons and penitentiaries
did not tend to the reformation Of the crimi
nal In regard to capital and labor, he
said that capital was always seeking to OBJ
tain labor en- the most favorable terms, anc
labor is alw 'ys seeking to obtain the high
est wages. His profound sympathies were
with the working classes. He was will
them heart and soul
Referring to the late civil war in thi:
country, he said that England was not {
friend of the South, but was disposed to ait
the South in her conflict with the North witt
a view merely to weakening a great anc
overpowering commercial rival
The President spoke of the high position
which industrious and frugal mechanics
might reach. and instanced his own case az
an illustration.
He also spoke at some length of the Ma
tiona debt, and said that the annual inter
est upon it was one hundred and fifty mil
lions Of dollars, at six per cent. This large
amount had to be paid by the labor Of the
country No nation had ever yet paid any
large public debt without reputation The
debt contracted in the Revolutionary wal
was nearly all repudiated, and we have nc
right to make this debt permanent. liz
said it would be just and equitable that thu
6 per cent. now paid by the Government az
interest should be applied to the reduction
Of the principal in semi-annual instalments
This plan would, in sixteen years and eigh
months, liquidate the entire national debt
He also discussed the great principles o
the Constitution, and said that good citizens
should cling to it as the right arm of nation
al safety and as the best means of insuring
public peace and private prosperity.

The scenes in Paris have been terrible

The scenes in Paris have been terrible
beyond description since our last issue. Af-
ter gaining an entrance the Versailles troops
began to attack barbados with success, and
the insurgents were driven from one to an
other, until they held possession Of a COM
paratively small portion Of the City. The
insurgent batteries then commenced firing
petroleum balls into the city, with view to
destroying it, and men, women and children
commenced saturating buildings with pctro-
leum and setting them on fire. The YER
saillists, irritatcd by the course of the insur-
gents, commenced general massacre, and it
is reported that sc, 900 dead bodies, of men,
women and children were in the streets and
cellars, killed with arms in their hands or
in the attempt to fire buildings.
On Sunday morning the remaining in
surrectionists surrendered Internationally
On the night previous, the Archbishop
of Paris, and sixty-nne Priests were shot by
the insurgents. Altogether about 10000
lives have been lost in the suppression Of
the insurgents and about one-third of Paris
destroyed. The Hotel de Vile, Palace Of
the Tuillories and other famous buildings
have been destroyed The Pantheon, Ecole
Militaire, Ecole DIES Beaux Arts, Bank O.
France and Churches generally were saved
Nearly all the insurgents ministers have
been shot or captured. Those captured viii
be tried at once and their conviction anc
execution is thought to be inevitable
Delescluze, Insurgent Minister Of War
was captured and in an attempt to escap'
was shot and killed by his guards.
From last accounts, the Journals U
Paris had demanded cessation of summar,
executions, great many having taker
place, and the city was beginning to assume
quiet condition.

Hon. Jefferson Davis in Augusta.
NnOrpiA

augusta, Ga, May 26.-Hon Jefferson
Davis arrived last nj ht He was serena
ded at the Planters Hotel, and held re-
ception to-day. Mayor Estes rendered him
the Inequalities of the city In response to
repeated calls and cheers, Mr.. Davis made
his appearance on the balcony of the Hotel,
where he was introduced by Hon. Henry
w. Hilliard.
Mr.. Davis said that he recognized the Pc
culiar claims of Georgia upon him, and Of
himself on Georgia, for in the anciert city
of Augusta his father had identified himself
with the revolutionary struggle for liberty.
Ii the late struggle for principle, for consti-
tutional liberty had been crime, it was his
misfortune, for which he had fully suffered
Aware of the eagerness with which every
word he might utter was watched for and
mlsrepresented, he would be silent, not
from any apprehensions as to the result to
himself individually, but his utterances were
made to affect the interests of the Southern
people.
He did not conceive that the principles Of
the ''lost cause were dead, or that truth
would remain crushed. He counseled forti
tude and patience, believing that the South
could afford to be patient under her wrongs
until a returning sense of justice achieved
the rights Of every free mana period te
which he confidently looked With his feel
ings he was fearful to trust himself to speak
because he could not think one thing and
speak another. He looked forward, howev
er, to the time when he might, with propri
ETY., speak to his fellow citizens as his heart
moved him, and babe them farewell, ex
pressing the hope that God would be with
them. Mr. Davis leaves for Atlanta to.

CoLoRED POPULATION The census re-
turns show a noteworthy change in the dis
tribution of the colorcd population among
the Southern States. Compared with 1860,
the following percentages Of increase are
exhibited Increase-Forida so per cent
Texas rs per cent, Arkansas - per cent,
Georgia II per cent Overwhelmingly
7 per cent, Virginia 8 per cent, West
Virginia Is per cent, Louisiana 10 per
cent. Thus it appears that the colored
population have been drawn off from Wiz.

employment in the cotton region Equally
they seem to flee from the hard and trying
labor of sugar harvesting in Louisiana.
