Two days later, MARROW enticed him into

guilt until the night before his death.

The GERMAN FLEET.-The Borseuzei-
nng, OF Berlin, considers that the Ger
man fleet is now being developed with
such rapidity and success, that it will
soon be capable of providing for all DOS
slble requirements without making too
large demands on the public treasury.
The iron-olad feet Of tho Baltic, which. j..
according to the memorandum laid be.
fore the German Parliament by the Ad-
mlralty, is to consist of eight fripates
and one or two corvettes, will not com
mand that sea, but it will suffice, when
supported by the fortifcations which are
now IN progress at Wilhemshaven and on
tho German coast, to make it very
dangerous for e hostile fleet to attempt a
blockade. The most important feature.
however, OF the new scheme ia, thinks
the B0rsenzeisung, the proposed con-
struction OF light oorvettes of the Alabn-
ma class, four Of which are already being
built, and seven more of which are to be
begun shortly. It is clear. says the
writer, that if single Alabama could

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF NEGROES IN
SAvANNAH.-Wo are again called upon to
chronicle acts of violence on the part OF
portion of our colored population,
which calls loudly for the interposition
OF the strong arm of tho law. Should
these outrages be continued upon harm
less and inoffensive citizens standing
peaoeably on their stoops or passi u 2
quietly along the street, serious conse.
qnences may be the result.
Last evening the Lincoln Guards. q
colored organization, numbering several
hundred, formed at their rendezvous. in
the Eastern part of the city, and, pre-
oeded by drum and fife, passed down
Bay street. creating no little excitement
by yelling and by other noisy demon
strntions. On reaching q point between
Habersham and Price, on Bay street,
MIR. P. NJ. Dunn, who. with several
other persons, was standing on his stoop,
was struck on the head with q large
stone, causing an ugly wound. Imme-
diately after the missile was thrown, the
crowd began to cheer, and continued in
this boisterous spirit along Bay street.
They proceeded along Bay and through
West Broad street, to the corner of
Minis, where halt was made, and ost
disgraceful and unlawful acts we're com.
mitted.
Shortly after their halt, while Rev. J.
It. Darcy and Mr.. j. W. BrinkerhoH.
accompanied by several ladies, returning
from attendance on series of meetings
at the West Baptist Church, corner OF
CASTOR and West Broad streets, were
passing by on their way home, the crowd
began to curse and make such threaten
ing demonstrations, that the reverend
gentleman thought it best to 20 into a
store near by. They had no sooner en-
tered than shower of stones was thrown
against the building. breaking every
glass in the establishment. One of the
missiles struck Mr.. Darcy on the left lea,
knocking him down. Immediately after
throwing the stones. the crowd began to
cheer and hurrah.
The shop.keeper got revolver and
was about to defend his premises. bu,
was prevented by the ladies, and luckily.
for there is no doubt but that eyery oc.
cnpant in the store would have been
killed. as the crowd had transformed
itself into an ungovernable mob. While
the store was being brick. batted, the
dwellings on the opposite side of the
street were sharing the same fate. Our
CITY authorities are no doubt sufficiently
informed as to the motives OF these nm.
lawful and disgraoeful acts, and we trust
will at onCe adopt such measures as will
prevent repetition. There is no doubt
that the ontrages perpetrated last night
were matured some days since, for we
learn that it was currently reported
among the colored people who take port
IN such proceedings, that row had been
set down for previous occasion, bat the
Guards could not muster q sufficient
number of their sidewalk followers who
were willing to do active service.

THE SUMNER BOMBSHELL.
A Tempest In a Tea Pot.

n trenchman by name of Chamburn,
after several months of wire pulling, has
at last found in Senator Sumner, who is
exceedingly spiteful and bitter towards
the President, person willing to further
a resolution implicitly charging the Adj
ministration with bad faith ia the matter
of the sale of arms to agents of the
French Government.
Summers resolution and speech stated
facts which are easily disproved.
WHAT THE FACTS ARE.
Senator Wilson, of Mass, chairman of
the committee on Military Affairs, felt
called upon, by his sense of duty to the
War Department, to make brief expla-
nation. He was now, as he always has
been, III favor of the fullest investigation,
and if any wrong had been committed in
this matter he wished to have it exposed
and punished. He then said that at the
close of the was our Government had
arms, ammunition and other war material
on hand, to the value of millions of dol
lars, which the Congress authorized the
Secretary Of War to dispose of. The sales
commenced i'll 1866 and continued until
1871.
The arms, &C., sold by the Government
HUH lIlt ISL VI ~ pIliJ 1OOO W UllO QUIZ vi
June, 1871, amounted to Sl57 026, 142, every
cent of which had been faithfully account
ed for and paid into the Treasury. AS to
the alleged sale of arms to the French Gov
eminent, he was authorized to say that our
Government had never sold a dollars
worth to that Government, or to any man
whom they knew to be its agent. The
Governments at the time of the sale to
Richardson, had no knowledge that be
was agent, counsel, or attorney Of or in
any way connected with Remington &
Son. As to the suspicious expressed by
the French Assembly, it should be re-
membered that these purchases were made
mostly by Gambetta's Government, and
that the existing French Government was
hostile 10 those men and trying to cast i'm
putations on them.
Mr.. COnkling confirmed this, saying
that Remington and his father before him
and his brothers had long been known as
very extensive manufacturers and pur-
chasers of arms, and had dealt in them
for years, not with France alone, but with
many other and more distant nations, and
if this investigation should be ordered, it
would be shown that they had sold arms
extensively at home and in foreign coun-
tries long before the Franco-Prussian war
broke out, and while it was raging, and
after its close. He mentioned this fact to
show that our Government was in no sense
on its guard i'll respect to these gentlemen,
and was not dealing with them as agents
or friends Of France or anybody else.

KNOXVILLE AND CHARLESTON ROAD,

We gave the facts relative to the lease OF
this road in our special dispatches yester-
day. 1t seems a little troublesome for the
commissioners to dispose of it i'll man
ner satisfactory to themselves. a number
of Intellectual attempts were made to sell
the road. One hundred thousand dollars
were offered for it, but the commissioners
seemed to think these figures inadequate,
and the bid was not accepted. Then it was
privately leased, at what a great many per
sons considered an inadequate price, ana
they so expressed themselves. The people
very naturally believe that when the 0UaCe
is interested in lease, it should be made
public and the best possible terms OBJ
tanned. No one blames lessee for getting
the road at low figures.
The commissioners decided to advertise
the lease, and did so. On Thursday bids
were opened according to the advertise
ment. when it was found that the road
could be leased for nearly three times as
much as was to be paid under the pirate
lease above alluded to. But dispatch was
received from Knoxville just in time to
prevent the commissioners from taking
action on the bids, which dispatch stated
that arrangements were being made tor
the purchase of the road. 1t was forth
with decided that it should be advertised
in two papers, and offered for sale at the
court house in Knoxville on the 10Th Of
next month, at which time the commits
sioners will be present. 1t was also re-
solved that in case the road Is not soto ct
that time it shall be operated by some one
appointed 6y the GoucrROr.
Now, why is it that the road is not to be
let to the highest bidder in case it is not
sold? More has been offered for it than
some of the commissioners, at least, eX-
pected, why not let it out? The whole
thing looks more like child's play than
the acts of grave, sedate men, who have
occupied, and do now occupy, high ana
dignifed positions i'll public affairs. If the
road should be disposed OF, it is well
enough. We have thought that it might
have been done to former bidders Oh terms
eIualIy as favorable to the State as have
been secured i'll the disposition of other
roads. But in case it is not sold, it occurs
TO us that it would be to the interest Of the
State, especially i'll view of past expert
ence, that it should be leased to whoever
will pay the most for it, and will properly
secure the State.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The recent exposure and punishment OF
prominent Republicans, charged with
malfeasance in office, shows that the Re
publican party proposes to punish crime
and corruption. Contrast this policy with
that.pursued by the Democracy in Tennes-
see. Here when a man of their party eX-
poses corruption he is at once read out
OF the party and prescribed for it. BaX-
ter exposed the public printing swindle,
and straightway he is read out Of the par
ty, pursued by partisan Legislature, and
assailed. by ring Of IbelOus, corrupt
sheets. 4 Legislative committee is pack
ed to whitewash the accused, and even go
as far as to refuse to make public the evil
dence upon which they base their report.
SO it goes from the big Tammany at New
York to the little Tammany at Nashville,
the Democracy, true to its record and inn
pulses, protects rascality and encourages
COrruptiOn.

A Considerable Parent.

The Memphis Appeal, of the 10Th uIt.,
says: "a person who farms for a living,
some distance from the city, rode i'll a
spring wagon into town yesterday, bring
ing with him little son. After figuring
around for an hour or two doing worldly
business, he pulled up in front of a groce-
ry in the suburbs, and went in to refresh
and comfort himself, leaving the boy to
take care of the horses. The man met
some companions indoors, with whom he
set about becoming convivial, as is the
custom of those who congregate in the su-
burban groceries. Time sped on, and the
boy in the wagon became numbed with
the cold and fell into a sort of stupor
The lines dropped from his fingers
and the horses walked off. When it was
time to disperse from the grocery the eX-
cellent farmer and feeling parent could
find neither wagon nor boy. He spent
the whole evening in looking for them in
the city, and was going home in half
crazed state when he met his trnsty col
ored man riding in for doctor, saying the
boy Tommy was frOze to DEATH The
horse had walked home, and the stiff
child was found still sitting in his seat
