Voice from tho Tombs.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, August 11.-Ex-Presi-
dent johnson spoke here last evening for two
hours and a quarter. He said he was not a
candidate for office. The government, he said,
had been drifting from its constitutional moor
ing and become plaything of an irresponsible
Congress at the direction of a usurping Execu-
tive. He reviewed President Grants admins
tration with severity and discussed official gift
taking as bribery. He favored one term and
the election of the President by direct vote. The
re election of Grant would be great national
disorder. He accepted Graeley on the prlncl-
Pile that universal pressure of circumstances
beyond human control had limited the choice
to two men.
Patriots cannot hesitate to choose Greeley
1t is no time to say this or that is or not my
party, but let us all unite in saying this is my

ton, restoration of civil rights to all citizens,

the civil service He pleaded for the return of
the ancient reverence for the constitution and
official obligations.

Lament had been composed by the spontaneous
declaration of the arbitrator entirely consistent
with the views announced by her at the opening
session. The Canadian Parliament having
acts necessary to give effect to the treaty of
Washington within the Dominion, all arrange

The Queen concludes as follows: 'While
cordially congratulate you on the activity of
trade and industry, 1 hope it will be borne in
mind that periods of unusually rapid changes
in the price of commodities and in the value of
labor are likewise periods which, more than ever
call for the exercise of moderation and fore
thought. In bidding you farewell, ask you to
join with me in acknowledging the abundant
mercies of Almighty God, and imploring their
continuance"

DRowNED.-Last night, about II o'clock, two
men named George Curtis and - Waite, re-
turning from the islands, pulled into the dock
west of Central wharf to make their boat fast,
and heard the cry of a man in the water. They
went to a vessel at the wharf and reused a man
who went with them to try and save the drown
ing man. As they had no lantern they could
not find him, and information was sent to the
police Office. Deputy Sterling and several Off
GERS went to the place and found the man and
got him on the wharf, but he was dead. The
man was about feet, inches tall, light hair
and whiskers, and dressed in dark clothes. He
is supposed to be one Morrissey, who lived in
