their claims, on the representation Of

FRANK CHEATHAM.

II is claimed that because Frank
Cbeatham is no orator he ought not to
be sent to Congress. 1t would aston
ish those asserting this maxim to know
that the best working men in Congress
are not orators, and that those who
make the greatest number of speeches IN
legislative halls are of the least benefit
to their constituents. 1t is commended
that Andrew johnson should be sent to
Congress in order to fight Butler and
other GRANTEES. This wordy combat
would be of little interest TO us, and its
results unimportapt to the State. We
want Congressman who can allay the
passions of the hour instead OF ex-
citing them into activity. We want
a Congressman who has no lest pol
icy" to yentilate, who has no private
war to make on political enemies. We
want man who will labor in the inter
ests of peace and for the general wei
fare. Frank Cheatham is not profess
sioaal politician. He has always taken
a lively interest in public affairs. He
has been volunteer soldier whenever
the necessities of the country demanded
his services. In peace he has been an
industrious citizen. Possessing integ-
rity of character and that kind of talent
which characterizes some OF the most
useful men in Congress-plain, prac-
teal common sense-he is exactly
the kind of man 10 represent the
South in Congress. He is no political
fire-brand who would array at once all
the elements of opposition. He does
not aspire to be an agitator at home or
elsewhere. Andrew Johnson could have
driven Washington from the stump,
because Washington never made
speech. In the zenith of his fame he
once attempted it, failed, and gave it up
confused and abashed. In framing the
Constitution of the United States the
labor was almost wholly performed in
committee, of which George Washing
ton was chairman. In the convention
he made two little speeches of few
words each. The convention, however,
acknowledged the master spirit, and
historians affirm that had it not been
for his personal popularity and the thirty
words of his FIRST speech, pronouncing it
the best that could be united upon, the
Constitution (which Andrew johnson SO
often pirates about would have been re-
jected by the people. Thomas Jefferson
could not meet the Tennessee Moses
on the stump. He never made speech.
He couldn't do it, yet he has left his
mark upon the history of our country
aud will be remembered long after
Brigadier General A. johnson is forgot
ten. The greatness of a man is not
measured by the length and number Of
his speeches. There is something more
than that necessary, and Of these neces-
sary elements is Andrew johnson des-
finite

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Commercial Advertiser, writing of the
city of Zurich, says: The river Limmat
which passes through the heart of the
city of Zurich, does not empty into the
lake, but the lake empties into 1t, and
although it is over two hundred and
fifty feet in width, the clear crystal
stream of the lake water pours through
the city with a volume and rapidity that
is irresistible. Numerous large five
story silk and linen mills are built upon
piles in its bed, and the current running
against their water wheels gives them
about as near perpetual motion as will
ever be attained in this world. A canal
from the lake, rnnning through the
city and emptying into the Limmat, also
gives additional power to various mills
and factories, so that Zurich has an un-
limited capacity for manufacturing
purposes, which is being largely availed
of. The rapid movement of the water
of the lake as 1t enters into the Linmat
also keeps everything pure, and the
drainage and offal of the city is carried
of the moment it is discharged, and
swept rapidly towards Lake Constance,
into which the river empties, some fifty
miles distant. Although thus surrounded
and permeated With water, Zurich is
always healthy, and We have not yet
encountered mosquito, though there
are some aeas here, which must have
emigrated across the Alps. 1t rains
hard here nearly every day, and the
thermometer to-day stands at seventy
two degrees. How is that for the 18th Of

and that long list of claims regis
tered at the British Mission in Washing
ton. The total number of cases IN
which damages are claimed against our
Government is very large, amounting to
millions and millions Of dollars, and
these, it must be remembered, stand as
an offset against any damages awarded
in our favor by the Geneva tribunal
Should these claims be decided against
us, the balance would be largely in favor
of Great Britain on final settlement OF
accounts. In that event, the United
States would not only have to pay the
same 10 the British claimants but would
also have to pay American citizens who
hold the Alabama and kindred claims.
It is charged that some Of the men who
have borne conspicuous part in the
negotiations between the two countries
are the very men who now hold the
largest part of the Alabama claims-a
fact displaying on their part diplomacy
and sagacity; or in other words, adroit
rascality.
