AN UNwIsE EXPERIMENT.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald.
Chancellor Edward H. East, who signs
himself "Chairman of State Central Com
mittee" of Liberal Republicans, publishes
an address protesting against the running
of an electoral ticket by the Democracy in
Tennessee, and proposing that the Liberals
present a ticket of their own. Personally,
Chancellor East is entitled to much respect,
but what particular interest or political
power he represents in his character of
chairman" we have no means of
knowing. Liberal Republicanism, prop
er, in Tennessee, is a yet an underlined
and unknown quantity. Individual
members of the Republican party, here
and there, like Chancellor East, Ex-senator
Fowler, Col. Thurston and few others,
we know, but any organization of men,
capable to carrying even civil district in
the State, without Democratic aid, we have
no knowledge of. We have no doubt that
hundreds of men now known simply as
Republicans in Tennessee, will, before the
ides of November, array themselves in favor
of Greeley and Brown, and will not be
deferred from doing so by the fact that the
Greeley and Brown ticket has been pre-
sented by the Democratic Convention. We
presume such men, in Tennessee, as call
themselves Liberal Republicans, sin
cerely desire that the eleven votes of
Tennessee shall be cast 10 favor of the Gin
cinnati ticket. They know, too, that with
out the aid of the Democratic vote, there is
no possibility of securing these votes. That
the Democrats of the State have declared
their willingness to withhold any candidate
from the field and to support the Liberal
ticket, certainly ought to satisfy patriotic
men. If the Democrats are willing to sup
pert Republicans for President and Vice
President, surely the comparatively few
Liberal Republicans in the State will
not refuse to give their support. to
the ticket, merely because the candi-
dates for electors are Democrats. Yet
such seems to be the spirit of Chancellor
East's address. To persist in such a course
will be simply factious and puerile. 1t will
seem unpatriotic, and, in its results, so far
as affecting either the cause of the Democ-
lacy or the triumph of the Liberal ticket in
Tennessee, will be contemplate. The
Democracy will give the vote of Tennessee
to Greeley and Brown by forty to fifty
thousand majority, either with or without
the cooperation of the men whom Chancel-
lor East represents. A full and hearty and
honorable cooperation of all the Oppo-
nents of Grant, is of course, to be desired.
We want Tennessee's rebuke of Grant to
be overwhelming. We want to cast the
heaviest majority against him ever re-
corded by Tennessee against Presidential
candidate; and we believe that the Liberal
Republicans in the State, and Chancellor
East, himself with them, will yet see the
folly of a quixotic attempt to weaken the
force of the anti-administration feeling in
Tennessee, and will unite with the Democ-
racy in the support of common ticket. If
not, their further display will be only fare
ical and calamitous to themselves.

ODera HOuse

A fair house, with a most goodly array
of ladies in the dress circle, greeted the
performance Of the interesting play of ode
borahn last night. 1t is really a most
praiseworthy production, and, taking into
consideration the usual drawbacks of a
first night, was very well rendered. Miss
Katie Estelle in the arduous part of the
prosecuted Jewess, proved herself TRACE
dienne of the first order of talent, remind
ing us in many scenes of Vestvali and
Janauschek. Brydon as Lorenz, Crane as
the schoolmaster, johnson as Peter, and
Mr.. Clarke, a new conner, as the pastor,
are deserving of favorable mention. The
play was carefully put upon the stage, and
elected throughout much applause. 1t
will be repeated tonight in conjunction
with new and most laughable farce. We
are pleased to hear that the intended bene-
fit to Miss Estelle is creating much interest
among our citizens. 1t will probably come
off next Monday, and 'on dit' that either
Shakespeares "Macbeth," or Sheridan
Knowles play of the e'Hunchhack," with
many volunteers, will be the attraction.

A Canal from the Mississippi to the
Atlantic.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The President
in renly to a delegation from Georgia
urging the construction of the interoeeanic
canal connecting the Mississippi with the
Atlantic, to-day said he saw a map Of the
route yesterday and it looked to him emil
nently practical and he thought it very inn
portant in view of the fact that the present
routes are inadequate to the growing
needs or commerce and were it not for the
Iateness of the present session he would
make it the subject Of special commune a.
ton to Congre IS; but he suggested that
perhaps better way would be first to in
terest the friends of the measure in Con-
gress in the work and obtain the introduc-
ton, and reference of a bill as
preliminary to subsequent action by the ex-
ecutive, and he did not know whether Con-
gress would be disposed to guarantee bonds
of company or would prefer to give a
direct subsidy in public lands. He had not
heard any expression of opinion among the
members, but they would see its import
ance, and he thought, by the proper pre-
sentatioD of the case before the two Houses,
there would be strong disposition mani
tested to carry the enterprise through. He
regarded it as of national importance and
deserving of national aid

HOUSE.

Bills from the Judiciary Committee were
reported and passed as follows: To estab-
fish uniform time for Presidential cleo
tions. House bill providing for steno-
graphers for United States Circuit Courts.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, offered as
a question of privilege a resolution for
final adjournment on the 10Th of May until
the last Wednesday in November. Al the
suggestion of Mr.. Dawes, he withdrew it
and gave notice that he would offer it to-
morrow.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the tariff and tax bill.
The second section involving a reduction
Of 10 per cent. from present duties on cot
ton and woollen goods, on the baser metals
and on lumber was adopted.
Cotton Claims.
The Committee rose and Garfield made
a conference report on the deficiency bill.
The paragraph in regard to cotton claims,
which was the chief point OF disagreement,
is modified so that the Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized and directed to pay
to lawful owners, or their legal representa-
tives, the value Of all cotton seized after
the Both of June, 1861 by agents of the
government, unlawfully and in violation of
their instructions; the net proceeds without
interest actually paid into the Treasury, the
receipt thereof to be in full satisfaction of
all such claims, and not to apply to any
cause now pending before the Court OF
Claims, or to any cause not fled IN the
Treasury Department within six months
after the passage of this act.
The report was agreed to and the House
took a recess till 7:30, the evening session
to be for business of the Judiciary Com
mittee.
A Union Pacific Sw1ndle-Ben Butler
Gives Grant a Left-Handed Blow.
During the evening session it appeared
from colloquy that resulted between
Messrs. Bingham, Butler, VOORHEES,, Peters
and Eldridge, that the maps and cores
pondence submitted to the Judiciary Com
mittee on behalf of the central branch of
the Union Pacific Railroad had been with
drawn and that interest declined to be fur
ther represented in the controversy.
Mr.. Butler said it was matter involv-
ing millions of dollars, and hundreds of
thousands of acres of public land. He was
counsel for none of these railroads, but
they had as counsel two ex-attorney gen
erals. He thought it was time to enact a
law prohibiting ex-attorney generals from
practicing before the departments. He gave
a history of the question, and said that in
the hearing before the Judiciary Commit
tee there had been no one to represent the
United States, no present or ex-attorney
general, nor Double-X Attorney General.
II the House of Representatives did not
protect the interests of the United States
in this matter there was nobody else to do
so,

COLLEGIATE HOnOrs.

Mr.. G. j. Burrus, of Yazoo City, Mis-,
has been awarded the gold medal as the
best debater of the Philomathean Literary
Society of the Cumberland University. Mr..
Burrus who is a law student in the Uni
versity may well feel proud of the honor he
has won, bis competitors of whom there
were three, being young gentlemen of &C
knowledged ability. We know of no one
who could more gracefully merit and more
truly appreciate such an honor than Mr..
Burrus, whose many brilliant qualities as a
young orator already conspicuous among
his fellow-students, allied to natural cour.
tesy and affability are destined to win other
laurels in the broad field of life. The com.
mittee making the award consisted OF
Messrs. Brien, McPhail Smith and Player
Martin of this city. The medal will be
presented in June, at which time the com
mencement exercises of the University will
be held.

Keen the Hair ITpblemisbed-.1 am

said venerable Indian Chief, pointing to

cause they have neglected to use the means
of preserving and identifying the hair
which science has placed at their disposal.
If LYoN's KATHAIRoN be faithfully ap-
Piled once or twice day, to the fibres and
the scalp, it is just as impossible that the
hair should decay, wither, fall out or be-
come harsh and fuzzy, as that meadow,
duly refreshed with nightly deEs and sunlit
rains, should becnme arid and barren Of
green blades. This matehless preparation
not only keeps the hair alive and the skin Of
the head in healthy and clean condition,
but actually multipIies the filaments and
imparts to them a lustre, fexibility and
wsyy beauty unattainable by any other
mode of treatment. 1t does not, like the
metallic and sulphurous hair dyes, dry up
the natural moisture of the scalp, but sup
plies nutriment to the roots Of the hair and

Brutal AssauIt upon a CbiId.

Allen Redford, a little son of Rev. A. H.
Redford, was badly cut in the hand and
wrist at 81 O'Clock last night, while endeav-
oring to make his way out of the crowd on
Broad street in front of the Exposition.
The cutting was purposely done by a bru-
tai negro, who held large knife out as if
to prevent the child from passing out of the
crowd. Mr.. Redford ran instantly to the
child upon hearing him scream, but the
savage creature who inflicted the injury
had escaped. The leaders of the boys left
wrist were severed, and a severe cut made
in the palm of the hand.

Charge not Sustained.

A colored individual named Austin Han
mer was brought up before Justice Bas-
kettle to answer the charge of larceny, it
being alleged that he had stolen a pistol
from A. j. McKimmon. There not being
sufficient proof to establish the fact as
charged, and the accused presenting abund-
ant proof as to good character for honesty,
he was discharged and the accusation
against him dismissed. There are some
times practical demonstrations of the fact
that good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches.

There was no betting on either of the

either of them. No pools were sold on the
first race at al, and the only entries being

two mile heats and was won by Littleton
easy in two straight heats. Time 3:37 and
