From washington.

WASHINGTON, February 20.-The
President was greatly rejoiced at receiving
this morning a copy of the press telegram
announcing the safety of the Tennessee.
While he had no doubt he says, that no
accident had happened he feels pleased
that the anxiety of the public has been
relieved. He is disposed to look upon
those in and out of Congress who have
given currency to the stories of disaster,
and worked them out on plausible theo-
ries, as being in the main actuated by OPP
position to annexation. 1t is said that
the republican member of Congress who
startled the whole by his announcement
in the House ''that scores of naval officers
had refused..to 60 IN the Tennessee is
not SO much in favor at the White House
as formerly.
The long-pending McGarrahan claim
was virtually disposed of by the House
to-day In a voice which will eventuate, in
case the Senate concurs, in giving that
claimant the patent to the New Idria sill
yer mine. The debate in the House for
two day has been most exhaustive and the
vote was almost evenly divided. 1t is
now fifteen years since this claim was
first made in the courts.
The departments were all closed at noon
to-day, snd little or no official business
was transacted before the same. The
same rule will be enforced tomorrow.
Indeed everything of official life seems to
absorbed by the local festivities full par
t~iculars of which are to be found else
where.
Senator Sumner is better to-day but
he fears that he will never fully recover
from this second attack of illness, as the
disease threatens to be organic in its ma
ture.
This morning the House committee on
appropriations commenced to investigate
the stamped envelope contract made by
the Postmaster General last August with a
New York party after breaking one which
had been mahe by a Washington firm.

TOO MUCH

The people of Tennessee have had a sur
felt of political excitement in the past six
years, much to the detriment of their M
terial prosperity. The time has come
when we should turn our attention to
something more Immediately connected
with our domestic interests. The habit Of
connecting every enterprise, whether so
cial, industrial or educational, with some
scheme for the advancement of some po-
litical huxters' private interests nav be-
come so common that we loo with suspi-
cion upon every man who undertakes any
thing new, believing that there must be
some politicalintrigue at the bottom of it.
For this reason many enterprises which
might have been of great value to the peo-
pie, fall to the ground Tor wanto of a united
effort on the part of those Immediately in
terested. We nave too many politicians
and not enough of earnest, hard working
men, ambitious t. excel N other fields be-
sides the political arena. 1t is as impossi-
BILE for us to prosper under such circum-
stances, as it is to succeed in making a
wholesome government by uniting church
and State. We should be just as jealous
of political interfereuceiu matters of edu-
cation, as we are in the exercise of our re-
ligious privileges. 1t is as detrimental to
the one as it is to the other. And now
that we are to nave a respite for aperiod,
from the excitement attendant upon po-
litical campaigns, let us turn our attention
to something else, and men of all political
creeds unite in a determined effort to build
up the country and relieve ourselves of
the burden of ignorance and financial dis
tress that we have carried so long.

A MAN Drowned while being Bap-
fixeG.

A few weeks since DIR. A. P. Pownall,
of Sand Hill, KY, after a brief courtship
was married to Miss Mary j. Wilson.
Shortly after his marriage, Dr. Pownall
united with the Christian Church, and
Sunday last was appointed as the day of
his baptism, having requested mis- pastor.
the Rev. j. B. Hough, to perform the rite.
At the appointed hour a large number OF
persons had assembled on the banks of
Crooked creek. the place chosen for THE
immersion. After singing and prayer, the
Rev. Mr.. Hough entered the water, lead
ing the Doctor They were obliged to
proceed some distance from the shore In
order to reach a sufficient depth, but sud-
IDENTIFY both were seen to 60 down. They
soon arose to the surface, and the minister
regained the bank, but the Doctor being
unable to swim, was swept by the current
under a food-gate only a short distance be-
low. Every exertion was made to save
him. but in vain. The body was soon af-
ter found and brought to shore amid the
most heart-rending screams from his young
wife and friends. Everything possible was
done to resuscitate the Doctor, but alas
the vital spark had flown.

Military Interference with Etec-
items.

One would suppose when reading the
howlings of Democratic politicians over the
action of President Grant, on account of
the steps taken to preserve the purity of
the ballot box in New York and other cities
by calling out the military, was unpreced-
ented and unheard of in the days of Demo-
cratic ascendancy. When the bill now
before Congress for the enforcement of the
Fifteenth Amendment was under consider
alton in the House on Wednesday, Hon.
Horace Maynard, in a few well considered
remarks ON the subject, caused to be read
from the Congressional Globe of 1856,
showing that when a Democratic admins
tration controlled the Government, the
military were called out in the city of
Washington, and used on an election day.
On that occasion, fourteen men were shot
dead on the streets and twenty more wound
ed, in the streets of the national capital.
A peaceful crowd of spectators was fired
into with IMMUNITY by United States
marines, under the immediate observation
of Democratic President. Without max
ing any proclamation, or giving any orders
to dispense, a peaceful crowd was fired in
to without provocation. Under the In
fuences of the domineering chivalry who
had their day in Washington then, this
outrage was hushed up with comparatively
nothing said about it. Not only this, but
when the administration was censured on
the floor of Congress by Hon. Henry
Winter Davis, Hon. Henry G. Burnett, of
Kentucky, arose and IN bis place defend
ed the acts of the President and the hirel-
ing press that failed to speak of the out
rage as it deserved to be spoken of.
So it seems that the act of calling out
troops is not without a precedent, The
difference is, that under a Republican Ad-
ministration, the military used has been
conducted in a quiet and orderly way.
while under a Democratic Administration,
the most fagrant outrages were committed.
In the discussion which followed these
acts, before the Thirty-6fth Congress, no

WE MUST LABOR.

Labor is the law of heaven and HE'LL
God rests while He works, and works while
He rests. The same activity is found in
the regions of the powers of darkness
In no place of animated matter are there
any drones, save On earth. Loafng is
the demoralizing avocation of hundreds of
thousands. Whilst the glen, prairie, school
house, factory. printing office, and posi-
tions requiring mechanical skill and the
efforts of mind invite, human deadweights
plod on the weary. dismal way of poverty
and wr~etchedness, obscure, unpitied and
unregarded. These thoughts are suggest
ed by the fact that so many school-houses
are u~ntenanted. so many acres are uncul-
tiyated and valuable ores embedded in
the heart of our mountains are unmolested,
all sufficient to make Sur country prosper
GUS, and every citizen independent. if each
and every one would labor to effect this
desirable consummation. We must have
more energy, vim and ambition. Labor
must be our law in all things, if success
our efforts. Without labor there
is no excellence, and by it, according to the
old Latin maxim, we can conquer all
things.

The son of a highly respectable Phila-
delphia drug merchant has been arrested,
charged with committing a most remarka-
BILE series of forgeries. by whichnearly eve
ry bank in the Quaker city was victimized.
The game practiced was an old and simple
one, and consisted in forging notes of we'll
known merchants, getting them discount
ed at banks, leaving them as collaterals
and paying them when due, raising the
money by the same process at other banks,
This scheme can readily be carried ont
for some time, by parties, whose names
are used to obtain large sums,ssa and never
know any thing about it until the de-
RI uding individual is unable to cover the
notes then due.
The young man had forged tie name
of his father in endorsements on notes to
the amount of $4,000. Eighteen banks
were victimized. Mr.. John c. Reakhart,
the father of the graceless fellow, paid
$4,000 on the forged notes. as they wore
discovered. e~ndeavoring all the while to
keep the matter secret. But it was found
that the forgeries were so numerous and
of so large amounts that MIR. Reakhart
could not pay them all, and his son, Ty-
ron Reakcrt is now being prosecuted

the !blue hills of Never-Sink and Long

we passed Sandy-Hook light, and entered

Broadway, and with assistance reached the
top of the steps, and once more found our
foot upon t~crTa:frnd, the land of our ma

and associations of life. 1t is not difficult
to imagine our joy at the accomplish

THE STRENGTH OF THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY.

There is a continual can't in the Dem
ocratic and a few slippery, wishy-washy
Republican journals concerning the deca-
dence of the strength of the Republican
party. The immediate cause of this is
alledged against the administration of
President Grant. As there is no truth in
the statement of our weakness, the charge
against the administration must be equally
false. If President Grant, in managing
our affairs, is bringing the supremacy OF
his party to a close, and making his re-
election impossible, then the Democracy
exhibits poor tactics indeed in continual
ly d%enouncing him, as according to their
argument he is indirectly promoting their
elevation. The reason ofthe fierce bitterness
with which the President is assailed, can
be none other than the obvious fact of his
successful govern ent, under which the
country is progressing and growing in all
the elements of national power, far beyond
the history of any previous time The
increasing value of our currency. the re-
duction of prices upon all articles of trade
and and the immense tide of
emigration pouring into our land attest
the wisdom and sagacity, and elevated
craftsmanship which characterize the adj
ministration.
Those disaffected Republican papers
have a revenge togratify because their self
promulgated merits have not been very
highly appreciated by the party who have
no need of their services not being driven
to the resort of enlisting time-servers and
demagogues into the ranks. These trail
tors have no other end to attain, than their
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. A sacrifice of principle
is no consideration with them. Having
been spurned and ostracised by their W
party, sinking down in the waters of OBJ
scurity. and political disgrace, thus catch
ut the straw of an anti-republican success
in ~. Their new found allies, political
ly depraved as they are, detest their re-
creancy and will give them on showing in
the leadership and management of the next
campaign. They will lash them as gal
lev slaves to the mental services of the par
ty. The Republican party while losing
its scum, is rapidly gaining the intelli-
gence and responsibility of its political
adversary.
In view of these facts, we confidently
say that the Republican party is rapidly
nd permanently increasing in power of
,umbers and influence. Its bare nomina-
ion of a candidate for the Presidency in
~ will be a proclamation of the death
warrant of the Democracy. 1t will seal
It's doom for all time to come. Then prob
ably new parties will come into existence,
founded upon principles infused with no
war spi rt or angry remembrances of the
past. Men will regard general interests
and not sectional issues. Loyalty to the
whole country will be esteemed as a pri-
mary duty of every citizen, and differ
ences of opinion as to matters of policy
will not embitter our hearts with deadly
hate. The intelligence of the nation full
ly understand that such must be the case
upon the success of the Republican party,
and they will sustain it. Republicanism
means peace, justice and liberty. These
the people are bound to have.
