Gen. Trauernicht was then introduced
and made few remarks, returning thanks
for the compliment paid him when he ran
for floater, several years ago, at which time
he received the entire Conservative vote of
those who were allowed to exercise the
right of franchise, which be thanked Hea7en
was now enjoyed by all the people of Ten
nessee. He was no speaker but an organi-
ger, in which capacity he was willing to
work for the good of the country. He had
been opposed to Grant since he was defeat
ed at Belmont, aud would have been de-
feated at Shiloh had it not been for
Gen. Buell. and his efficient divisions.
Some one in the crowd asked him if
he did not command a negro
regiment during the war? To this Gen.
Trauernicht promptly replied that he did
command negro regiment, and was not
ashamed to acknowledge it, having never
done anything to disgrace himself, but bad
protected Southern people 10 this county
from the violence of white Federal soldiers.
He opposed Grant since Colonel Of an Hi
nois regiment in Missouri, upon being told
that the war would end in the emaneipa-
ton of the slaves, replied that it could new
er be- his regiment would desert the SER
vice and return home, because they were
all Democrats. -i-j
Col. Paramore and Gen. Bate were called
upon to speak, but neither being present
the meeting insisted upon Gov. Neil S.
Brown speaking. This gentleman stated
that he had, as the chairman selected in the
afternoon at the courthouse, made one
speech and it was desirable for other gen.
tlemen to do the speaking. There being no
further speakers on hand the meeting ad-

81 could give many reasons why we
should vote for Mr.. Greeley against Grant,
but time will not permit. will, however,

close. Two or three hundred cOlored men,
more or less, would be in suffering condi-
tionto-day were it not for the noble gene

finest BARRIERS the country affords, the best
perhaps that ever laid hands on Wade "
Butchers or any other mans cutlery, bar
bers whose customers are white men and
out of whom they make their means of liv-
ing. Is all of this no inducement to us to
meet these men especially when they have
already come more than half way. Shall
we refuse to shake hands with them or help
them TO elect man that is more our friend
than he ever was theirs? ] think it is; al

Three Of the oldest citizens of the city were

which is of the most substantial character,
capable of sustaining twice the weight that

permit employees to attend. The build

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The case OF
Edith O'Gorman, the escaped nun, and her
husband, Prof. Auffrey, and Thos. Ansbro
and Smith alias Allis, a private detective,
which has been creating much feeling here,
terminated in the Police Court to-day.
Edith and Aubrey caused the arrest of Ans
bro for libel, publishing statement that
she was seen drunk on the street, and buy
ing whisky at two O'Clock in the morning,
etc. Ansbro in return caused the arrest OF
Aubrey on the charge of assault with dead
ly weapons. Smith then swore to the as
sault, and to destroy the testimony OF Edith
and Aubrey, testified that he knew the m
both in Australia; that she is woman OF
the town, and he is noted sheep stealer
and forger. After full hearing, Judge
Lauderback discharged Aubrey, committed
Ansbro for trial for libel, and ordered Smith
alias Allis to custody for perjury.

ANCIENT AND MODERN WEALTH.

IfnoW-a-days one is in possession OF a
million of dollars be is almost worshipped.
1t is now supposed that the Sprague
family of Rhode Ialand is one of the
richest in the land. They have built
monument worth 100000. Much is
spoken of the fortunes of the Astors,
Vanderbilt, Stewart and the Rothschilds;
but al. their wealth lacks significance
compared with fortunes of olden times.
Ptolomaus Philadelphus, in Egypt, had
a fortune of SS50,000, 900. Cleopatra drank
a glass of wine in which was dissolved
pearl worth $4,000. Stewart, in New
York, built a house that cost S0O,OVV'
What pittance! Cicero paid Si,0OO,UOU,
for country seat. Messeila paid SZ,OOO,-
200 for a homestead. Seneca was worth
Sl2.OO0,000. Tiberious left property worth
Sl2,000,0OO.
Now-a-days. every one is astouished if a
man gets into bankruptcy with 100000.
InI;ns Cesar owed Si4,000,000 before
he had any Office. Marcus Antonlus
owed ST 100000 on his election, and paid
il of in a few days thereafter. Not enough,
he afterward cleared S720 100000. Now, if
an entertainment costs $1,000, it makes
Old people's hair stand upright What is
this to old Roman times? Asop, the poet,
paid 100000 for single party. Caligula
paid the same price for supper. They
drank old wines worth twenty dollars an
ounce, and roasted pigs over fires made OF
nuts and raisins. The bedsteads OF
Heliogabalus were of pure silver and gold.
Eighty th,usand dollars was necessary
TO keep up the dignity of Roman Sena-
tor. Cicero and Pompeius once paid visit
TO Lucullus Nobody was at home. They
helped themselves, and it cost Lucullus S4,-
900.
The capacity of Rome's theaters was
fabulous. The wooden theater OF Shar-
urus had $4,000 seats, the Coliseum 81
600 seats besides $4,000 standing places.
Rome had then between three and four
millions of inhabitants. The Circus
Maximus had room for $4,000 spectators.
There we're at that time nine hundred
public bathing places. In the fifth century
after Rome was plundered by the Ger
mans and Vandals, Zacharias, his
torian, reports from Rome 3S4 streets,
so golden statues, 56.56T palaces, 1902
fountains, 2,7S5 bronze statues of En-
perors and officers, % colossal horse stat
mes. Al theaters, 1890 perfume store and
9.26l prisons. Thebans had paid for III
come duty in one year six million of dol
lars. Alexandria had. library Of 100000
volumes, at a time when manuscripts
were rare and costly. Athens had The
theater of Bacchus, capable of holding
thirty thousand people.

BONE Of the Grant papers are eDdeaVor-
ing 50 make strong point against Greeley
by asserting that Tweed and some other
individdals of questionable honesty support
him. This hardly strikes US, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, as being exactly TO
the point. Suppose some thieves do sup
port Greeley, that is not his concern, nor is
irresponsible for it. But should be support
q thief the thing would be changed materi-
ally, aud his friends would have good cause
to find fault and his enemies to criticise.
While Greeley may be supported by this
class Of gently, who are sure to be found
betting on the side likely to. win, Grant is
supporting Casey, Leet and Murphy, and a
host of thieves fan worse than any that viii
vote for the Philosopher. People very well
know that a man can't help who supports
him, and when success is sure be will al
ways be followed by 2 host of disreputable
men. But a President is responsible for
the people be supports, and if they prove to
be thieves, and he continues his support,
honest men viii usually consider him as
approving of their conduct. -ts
