Letter from Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Oct sth, 1872.
Asojourn of two days in this pleasant
town has in nowise detracted from the
high opinion we have always entertained
of Cleveland. Its beautiful location, taken
together with it's churches and schools and
first class society, renders it one of the
most pleasant, home-like communities in
East Tennessee, or anywhere else. When
Knoxville and Chattanooga become huge,
overgrown, busting, populous cities,
Cleveland will be very paradise, with all
that wealth and luxury can make it.
We found the Holston Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in session
here, presided over by that able, fearless,
devoted and dignified divine, Bishop Mer-
rill. He preached mastery discourse on
Sabbath to a crowded house. His discourse
was distinguished more for its logical con-
illusions and strong, massive arguments than
for any great display of rhetoric. Rev. DR..
Dashiel, Secretary of the Missionary Socie-
ty Of that church preached an able and elo-
quent sermon at o'clock p. NJ, which was
also listened to by a large audience. The
usual ordination SERVES peculiar to such
op Merrill officiating. This Conference is
composed of class of as self-sacrificing,
Jealous, devoted men as can be found any
where, and many of them are men of ex-
traordinary ability.
We listened yesterday to the Joint dis
cusson between Mr.. Freeman and Gov.
Brown, the Gubernatorial candidates
Their audience was exceedingly small
not over two hundred at any time-and
the enthusiasm Of neither party ran very
high.
Mr.. Freeman is a high-toned gentleman,
and his demeanor wins favor among those
who are opposed to him politically. He
confines the discussion on his part 10 liv-
ing questions and discards personalities.
Gov. Brown smiles and makes a plausible
speech, but totally ignores all the ques-
tions affecting the policy of the Democrat
ic party in Tennessee. He may not be an
"artful dOdger," but certain it is, that he
lodges everything he wishes TO in this
canvass.
The Bradley county fair opens to-day,
and the prospect is favorable to a complete
success. The late rains have settled the
dust so that the grounds are much more
pleasant than they would have been 9TH
erwise The entries are much more nu-
merous than last year, and the prospect is,
that the attendance will be larger. The
managers Of the fair deserve great credit
for their zeal and enterprise in the matter.
Among the home enterprises of which
Cleveland should feel proud is the estab-

Why Yerkes was Pardoned.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says: " The
pardon Of Charles 7. Yerkes was granted
for the following reasons, and for these
only: 1t was asked for by thousands of
the most prominent and respectable busi-
ness men Of Philadelphia without respect
to party; by nearly $50 members of the
bar, among whom were Democrats of high
standing in the party; by Col. Thomas A.
Scott by A. j. Drexel, an eminent banker
and Democrat, and even by Mr.. Alexan-
der X. Mcclure himself. The pardon was
granted because these men requested it :;
because two of the five judges of the court
in which 1erkes was convicted, one Of
them a Democrat, declared that the convic-
ton was not according to law. There was
a total absence OF anything like partisan
ship in the entire movement, as the record
plainly shows, and it is therefore, utterly
preposterous for the Democracy, especially
while McClure's name is on that Very pc
tltion, TO assert or pretend that party poll
tics or the interests Of any candidate had
anything TO do with the matter"

Republicans promising an audience if he could
get one in no other way. With these assurances
ne repaired to the court house and appeared TO
favor the election of Stephen A Douglass in
opening his speech, but changed and pitched
into Parson Brownlow's government of Tennes-
see and the oppression of the South, charging
Coy. Brownlow with nepotism while Governor
and other Southern States had incurred large
debts since the war. He denied that the pub
llc debt has been decreased under Grants adj
mlnistration that the debt under Andy John
SON administration had decreased faster than
under Grant, notwithstanding the vast army he
had TO support. Referred to the 'terbacker,I
law as the greatest outrage ever known. Grant
uses great deal of red tape ; is guarded bv
shoulder straps, and that contrary to the stat
utes. Grant is incapable of ruling as q civil
Governor, but he endorsed his ability as n

How the RbeI Democracy Triumphed.
So far as representing the sentiments of
Georgians are concerned, the majority in
last weeks election might as we'll have
been hundred thousand as sixty. But
to show the shameless frauds, the intimi-
dation and violence by which the election
was carried, read the following letter from
the Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, to the Secretary of the Ma
tional Congressional Committee:
ATLANTA, GA, October 5.
Hon. Jas. W. EoHlunds.
No Republicans were admitted as man
ayers or clerks at the election on Wednes-
day. The officers were all Greeleyites.
They refused to open Republican pre-
cincts, and freeholders attempting it were
dispersed. Democratic votes were received
as fast as offered Republican votes only
when no Democratic votes were Offering.
Republican precincts voted only one per
minute, while Democratic precincts were
rushed through at the rate of six per min
ute. Thus thousands of Republicans
failed to get in their votes. The exhibit
ton of tax receipts was unlawfully re-
quired of Republicans, but not of Demo-
Gratis, Republican leaders were arrested
early under false charges, in order to in |
tlmidate voters. Challenges were made |
OF delay voting and TO intimidate Republic |
cans. Those attempting to assert their |
rights were assailed and in some cases |
murdered. Four were killed at Macon. |
The enforcement act was openly defied. |
Many arrests are being made by United
States marshals. Less than half of the
vote was polled.

Professional Laughers.

The hilariaus Philadelphian known
as Laughing Bill, " whose cachlnna-
tory gifts have gained him a wide
celebrity, and rendered HIM terror
to all theatrical managers who have
ever been afflicted with his patronage,
would evidently find his most promis-
ing field for attaining usefulness anG
popularity in France. In Paris pro-
fcssional laughers of ability find ready
engagements at the music halls, where
they are scattered among the audiences
to lead the laugh at all comic passages,
and by the contagious influence OF
their simulated mirth evoke demonstra-
ticns of merriment on the slightest pro-
vocation. In this profession, however,
as in others, strict attention 10 duty
is required IN order to attain success,
as an incident which occurred recently
in cafe choatdnt is the Champs
Elysees forcibly illustrates. One of
4 the professional laughers employed at
| that establishment permitted himself
to fall into doze, and, on suddenly
awaking, found, as he thought, that
the performances had arrivedat a stage
where his services were lmperatlvely
required. whereupon he Immediately
worked himself into a most excruciat-
ing fit of laughter. The next instant
he found himself upon his back, with
about hundred Infatuated Frenchmen
dancing over his PROSTATE body. The
unfortunate man had mistaken his cue,
and had burst ont in the midst of a

Marie read French novels, which
naturally rendered her very sentiment

cumstances love was not to long IN
coming. The object of her affections
was a Russian cadet, with scarcely a
a penny in his pocket, who resided in
the ueighborhood, and was then mt

saual ardor. Mares parents had
atrictiy forbidden her thinking of such
a union, and they treated the lover,
wherever they met him, with Just as
much friendliness rs they would have
shown to an eX-collector of taxes. The
