The Thanksgiving celebration in London on
the 9th ult. was perhaps one of the grandest
pageants Of modern times. The streets
through which the procession passed, from
Buckingham palace to st. Paul's cathedral
and back again to the palace, were thronged
with the loyal subjects of Her British Majesty.
All that could give effect to the demonstration
of peoples thanks for the recovery of a
beloved prince was forthcoming on the occa-
sion. London put on its holiday attire, the
bells Of the many churches toled merry peals.
gay banners foated from the houses along the
route, and the bands of the military thrilled
the souls of the assembled multitude. With a
commendable spirit of enterprise our contem-
poraries yesterday gave long mail accounts of
this grand demonstration. Columns of loaded
type described the scenes Of this British jubi-
lee couple of weeks after the event took
place. Had these letters been published the
day after the celebration they no doubt would
have been read with that degree of interest
with which the HERALD's special dispatches
were received by its numerous readers almost
before the sound Of rejoicing had died away
in the British metropolis. Our contemporaries
have done well. Their mail account OF the
English peoples Thanksgiving is very interest
ing reading. Regarded as news, however, it
is somewhat stale, as the HRRALD's special
kilograms from London the day of the process
sion, which were published next morning,
told the whole story.

reigns over Washington. We have been &C.
customed TO dwell upon the crimes Of Tam
many and the astounding frauds upon the city

Investigation upon trivial matters in Washing

priety of bestowing millions of the
public property upon private corporations.
We look in vain through the debate for one
argument addressed to the public good in favor
Of the measure. Wisconsin is prosperous,
populous and wealthy State. Its people have
enterprise aud nerve. They can build rail-
ways quickly and as well as the people of New
York or Ohio, with their own money or with
the money their credit will enable them to
borrow. They do not need government sub
sidy to build a railway any more than we do
in New York. The arguments in favor of en-
downing railways in Dakota and Arizona
arguments that may be well considered-can-
not hold good in Wisconsin. This proposed
road is not necessary to the development of
Wisconsin. The railway system of that State
is strong enough to protect itself, and any
grant of government lands for the purpose
indicated would, simply have been an outrage
upon the people, Even 10 stronger degree the
same is true in reference to this claim for the
island in California. No public interest will
be served by the grant. 1t is to add to the
value of the property of q private corpora
tion-of property given TO the corporation
by the government. The great railway, which
Is rich enough to buy the island, simply feels
that It is strong enough to command Congress
to do it's bidding, and this It proposes to do.
The time has come for the people to step In
and arrest this Infamous LEGISLATION. II

The Great Race Horse Harry Bassett.
From the Saratoga Correspondence of the New Yorl
Herald

From the Saratoga Correspondence of the New York
Herald
Shortly before O'clock the four-year- old
racer, Harry Bassett, ridden by the freck-
led boy, Roe, came on the heavy track,
carrying his head sideways, as if he meant
to play race, instead of working it out.
His white feet were splashed with clay !;
his short sheared, thick sorrelish tail and
fine coined name were handsome appenda-
ges to his great length and somewhat friv-
olous and feminine face and carriage. Bas-
sett is perfect colt in behavior with won-
derful parts and speed of which he seems
unconscious; love of horse company,
so that he will never run his best unless
some very fast horse will run with him and
make it agreeable, and he lacks that cheer
full earnestness and look of individual re-
sources and responsibility which make
spectators love LongfellOw as high re-
minder of the human neighbor and fellow
labOrer while they admired the splendOr of
his performances. s.rr- a..
The present champion, Bassett, has the
bearing of Bohemian-able to do better
thing than anybody, but doing it so non-
chalantly that nobody gives him credit for
the exertion he is making. Light of color,
and therefore, like all blondes, seeming to
lack strength handsome, but childish in
manner, kicking out at the grooms, and
this horse is almost type of the behavior
of genius. When he beat Longfellow he
seemed to have no sense of the gravity of
the performance, and moved around the
track as If he would run twice as fast, with
out hesitation, with a good playfellow.
His way of planting his feet in a gallop,
almost feline in tough and thump, is one
of his merits. Although a very large
horse, he drops as softly as bad boy out
of cherry tree, and kills better purpOser
and rivals as pretty woman breaks hearts.
There is poor Longfellow in the stable to-
day, with his whole leg and shoulder swo-
len up double size, the fruit of conscien-
tiOus performance, while this extraordi-
nary and inconsiderate Bohemian stands
in perfect shape and style, ready to run
anything from a rabbit to greyhound.
Nothing can beat Harry Bassett," said
Mcdaniel to me at the pOOl-roOm; " his
speed has never been fully gotten from
him. He won't leave a horse in a race, and
that is why I.know he has resources great
or than have vet been tested.n

ADVENTURES OF A KNOXVILLE MAN IN
SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.
His Experience at n Model Hotel.

Our good looking young friend Fred E
has just returned from trip into Southwestern
Virginia. We are not prepared to say whether
he went there on business or for pleasure but
from short conversation we learned that his
trip was by no means void of adventure.
He reports that on arriving at Marion he
found large rope stretched across the princi-
pal street He inquired of the first man he
met if they were afraid of running away.
With something of alarm pictured in his coun-
tenance the man only replied, "Small-pox." !"
Fred. wasn't inquisitive enough to push the in
quiry, but gave the territory surrounded by
that rope wide berth. The fact was that
there had been few cases of that
loathesome disease in the Continental Hotel, and
stretching this rope around it, at respectable
distance was a novel way of placing it in quar-
antine. Fred formed resting place at hotel
in a remote part of the city. -s
Then he went TO Wythevllle, arriving there at
about 2 P. NJ, the owner of the appetite render
ed voraciouS by the lateness ofthe hour and the
pure mountain air. We will let him tel | his
own story here. He says he found four men
around the house with stove pipe hats. He
opened the conversation, says he:
Can get room at once and good dinner
(The landlord rubbing his hands,) "Yes,
reckon"
Fred waited fifteen minutes, and repeated, his
request when he was informed that the negroes
had the keys to the rooms. The keys were hunt
ed up and Fred. was shown to a room which,
on account of its dilapdated and generally un-
comfortable appearance, he Indignantly refused
to occupy, when he was shown into another
very little better. About o'clock, P NJ, he
was informed that dinner was ready. Another
guest had come in in the meantime and the
twain dined together on one egg, slice of corn
bread and piece of ham, washed down with
water without ice. Fred called for glass of
milk. "Oh yes plenty of milk" He waited
fifteen minutes and ventured to suggest ''milk u
again, when he was blandly informed by the
landlord that he had sent for the COWS and they
would be in soon. Fred. thought he'd wait
An intoxicated individual by the name of
Richardson conceived the idea on Sunday
of making an exhibition of his person,
minus his pantalooons. Two gentlemen inter-
fered with the exhibition, when he drew a large
knife and killed one of them. He was arrested,
and there was strong talk of convening Judge
Lynch's court for his special benefit, but it had
not been done when our friend left.
He reports crops good, the atmosphere de-
lightful, the people hosptable and kind to all,
but he doesn't seem to entertain a very high
opinion of the hotels, especially the Crockett
House.

From North Carolina.

The Washington Chronicle of Wednes-
day says:
Mr.. x. r. Cobb, brother to Hon. Clinton
l.. Cobb, member of Congress from North
Carolina, has just arrived in this city from
that State where he has been actively en-
gagged for several weeks past in the political
canvass. He has visited almost every city
and town of any importance in the State,
and says the utmost unity prevails among
the Republicans that they are very en-
thusiastic and confident of an easy victory.
He says in the western portion of the State
large numbers of Democrats will not go
near the polls, whom he states are out
spoken and very bitter in their denuneia-
tons towards the action of the Baltimore
convention in nominating Horace Gree
ley. Mr.. Cobb says the contest will un-
doubtedly be close in two or three of the
congressional districts, but otherwise the
result he thinks will take everybody by
surprise and convince the Liberals that
Greeley's strength i'm the South at least has
been greatly exaggerated. He stated furth-
er that there was not Republican of any
prominence in the State except Mr.. Hell
per that had joined the Greeley movement,
while on the other hand accessions were
daily being made to the Republican ranks

NepOtiSm.

In Senator Conkling's great speecb at
New York on Tuesday evening. ON the
subject of nepOtism, he said:
Governor Stewards son was Assistant
Secretary of State; Edwin NJ. Stanton's
son was clerk in the War Department
Gideon Welles' son was Chief Clerk of the
Navy Department; and when Gideon
Welles employed relative at great remu-
neration to buy ships the scandal was not
that he paid just sums to his relative, but
that he paid such sums at all. Reverdy
Johnson, Minister to England, made his
son Assistant Secretary of Legation; John
A. Dix, Minister to France, did the same
thing with his son Schurz pressed his
brother-in-law on the President and OBJ
tanned for him a lucrative Office, and when
Trumbull caused his removal upon state
ments impeaching his fitness, ,SchurZ ragged
against the President for removing his
brother-in-law, his sons and his nephews,
and he broke, it is said, with the President
because he refused to appoint TrumbulPs
sons to office. That shrill and frisky re-
former, Mr.. Upton, although not colossal
himself would need a hay scales to be
weighed along with all his relatives he has
helped to get Office Three brothers-in-
law, nephew and son i'm office, with
other things for other relatives did not
satisfy his liberal inclinatiOns, but he Wig
orously piled the President and Secretary
OF state to give a valuable Consul
snip 10 another son, and after they
Iecilned he frequently avowed, once pip
i.ngly, to the President himself that the re-
iuSai was the cause of his opposition.

the shipping in the river and extended to
the New York side for a great distance.
The scene around the fire was one excite

and their wives were rushing to and fro to
give explosions of regrets at the loss of
tools, and prospective ideneSs. The en-
tire premises covered five or six acres.
Upwards of eleven hundred hands have
been employed. There is no instance on
record, of destruction so sudden and COM

ANOTHER OF THE CHAMPAIGN LIES. -

A year or more ago, some one OF the
desperate characters who make it their
business to lie about the President started
report that his Long Branch cottage was
gift from Hon. Thos. Murphy in conSid-
Grafton of which he appointed that gentle
man Collector of Customs at New York.
Not being speechmaker nor the CORES
pondent of newspaper, the President
passed the matter by in silence, as he has
done thousand and one other falsehOods.
Mr.. Murphy has just written letter on
the subject to Hon Milo Goodrich,a "a Liber-
al Republican member of Congress from
New York which we give:
No. PINE STREET, New YORK,

SIR: . In report of a speech recently made
by you at Ithaca l read that, speaking of the
President of the United States, you said He
now revels in Long Branch, in a cottage given
him by Thomas Murphy"
Now, Sir, this oft-repeated statement is
wholly false l did not give the President his
house, nor contribute cent toward its purchase;
and so far as know aud believe, he purchased
it and paid for it with his own money.
Assuming you to be gentleman, you will re-
tract this statement as publicly as you uttered
it. Respectfully yours,
