The strawberry Festival.

The strawberry festival given by the ladies Of

Table No. 3-Miss Emma Lea and Mrs
Henry Howarter.

water.
The floral stand was presided over by Mrs,
Chas. DePue, Miss Mary Wood and Miss Lou
Howarter. The table was surmOunted by an
arch and cross most tastefully arranged and
covered with beautiful fresh boquets. This
was one of the chief attractions, and another
was where the lemonade WAS dispensed by Miss
Addie Wood, as Rachel at the WE'LL" and
many young gentleman there quenched his
thirst as did Isaac in Scriptural days ages ago
Strawberries were in request and the Ice
Cream department was well managed and did n
rushing trade. The frozen luxury was dealt
out to all without giving any the cold shoulder.
The ladies are so much encouraged that the fes
tival will be continued tonight. The Mechan-
les Cornet Band will be present tonight and
no pains will be spared to make the occasion
pleasant one to all who attend.

Political DEMONSTRATIONS.

Special Dispatch to the Evening POST
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE speech of
Mr.. VOORHEES, in the House of Represent
atives yesterday continues to excite much
comment in political circles, especially
among the Democrats, who seem to re-
gard it as foreshadoWing trouble in their
National Convention. Those Democrats
who favor the acceptance of the Cincinnati
candidates by the Baltimore Convention
denounce Mr.. Voorhees, in unmeasured
terms.
Representative James Brooks said this
morning that the question of accepting
the nomination of Mr.. Greeley was beyond
the control of Mr.. VOORHEES, and his friends;
that the Baltimore Convention would APP
prove him by a three-fourths vote, and
that the only opposition which would be
made would come from Ohio, Indiana and
part of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Brooks said that he expected the
Baltimore Convention would result in a
division, and that Mr.. Voorhees, and per-
haps thirty or forty others who are OPP
posed to Mr.. Greeley would Withdraw if
the CINCINNATI ticket were approved.
On the other hand, those Democrats who
DO not agree with Mr.. Brooks, and who
are shrewd observers of the political situa-
tion,. assert positively to-day that Mr..
Greeley is now less popular with the DEM
ocratic masses than he was ten days ago,
and that when the Democratic Convention
meets, he will be so unpopular with the
party that any attempt to bring his name
before the Convention will be greeted with
derisiOn,

WASHINCTON.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-At the night session
last night, the House passed bill to punish the
tampering with jurors in United States Courts.
Also the bill repeating the statutes of July I'd,
1862 and July 1lth, 1863 prescribing an oath
of office, and the bill providing that the act of
March ID, 1867, prohibiting the payment to
any person not known to have opposed the re-
bellion and to have been in favor of It's re-
preston, shall not apply to sums due for ser
vices rendered pryor to the 1st of April, 1861,
in carrying the mails or in taking the census.
The delegation from Georgia representing the
Atlantic and Great Western Canal called to-
day upon the House Committee on Commerce,
and had also pleasant and satisfactory inter-
view with Colfax and Speaker Blaine.
The Senate is sitting tonight

a CURIOUS FACT.-It is singular that
the name of God should be spelled with
four letters in almost every known Ian
guage. 1t is i'll Latin, Deus; in Greek,
Zeus; Hebrew, Adon; Syrian, Adad; Ar
abian, ALA; Persian, SYRIA; Tartarian,
Lydia; Egyptian, Aumn or Zeut; East In
dian, Esgi or Ieul; japanese, Zain; Turk
ish Add; Scandinavian, Odin; Wallachin,
Ienc; Croatin, Doga Dalmatian, Rogt
Tyrrhenian, Eher; Etrurian, Chur; Mar
garian, Oese; Swedish, Codd; Irish, Dich;
German, Colt; French, Dieu; Spanish,
Dios, and Peruvian, Liam. The name of
God in the Anglo-Saxon language means
good, and the Specification affords singu-
lar testimony to the Anglo-Saxon concep-
ton of the essence of a Divine Being. He
is goodness itself and the Author of all
goodness. Yet the idea of denOting the
Deity by term equivalent to abstract and
absolute perfection, striking as it may APP
pear, is perhaps less remarkable than the
fact that the word man, used to designate
a human being, formerly signified wick
edneSS.

Lift Up the Banner.

/ The detection of Mr.. Greeley, and his
nomination by the Cincinnati Conven-
tlon, has brought surprise and uncertain
ty, for the moment upon the public mind !;
but 1t ought not for an instant to throw
doubt upon the path OF duty. The Phila-
delphia Convention is now bound, even if
it were not its duty before, to raise up the
old Republican banner under which have
been gained such illustriOus victories, and
to print upon it the name of General
| Grant!
1t IS not now a question whether Gen
eral Grant has been a little too firm or too
lax, too fast or too slow. By the conduct
or those who have abandoned the Republi
can party, he has been placed in posi-
ton where order, public safety and honor
require his reelection. We believe the
public peace, order and safety require the
continued ascendency of the Republican
party, and that no other man can now so
well lead the party as General Grant.
What are we to gain by a new party
made up in haste, without common prin-
ciples, iumbled together not to correct
grave public evils, but to avenge private
griefs, or to reward violent and irregular
ambition?
Every great interest in the land is flour
IShIng. Even in the South, enfeebled by
war, and bewildered by the total revolu-
ton of its industrial economy there has
been slow but steady recuperation, ex-
cept in the cases of one or TWO States,
where local causes thwarted the honest en-
deavor of Government for their peace
and security. .-..
Can that be a safe leader who has so
suddenly become the favOrite of the whole
Dembcratic race, by whom he has for thir-
ty years been UNNECESSARILY abused and
against whom he has fought that inces- |
SAINT battle on which his political fame
rests? What is the meaning of this strange
new friendship between lifelong enc
mics? Such friendships are suspicious
Horace Greeley, President of the United |
States by the votes of the Southern men |
who carried on the war, and of that Demo- |
cratic party which hung like a dead
weightOn LincOln's administration
If the Democratic party, in view of its |
past history and testimony, shall now in
dOrse Mr.. Greeley, their lifelong antagon- !
list, it will not be by convention nor by |
honorable surrender, but by an act of poll |
teal immortality as shameful as ever was |
recorded There have been, before this, |
coalitions between antagOnistic elements |
for the mere sake of power. They have |
never been deemed honorable. But thew |
will all turn to the color of virtue by the |
side of the infamy of such coalition as is |
now meditated !-Hcnry Ward Becchcr in |

4 Heavy Order.

The Cumberland Foundry in this city has re-
ceived an order for four thousand car wheels for
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, to be
filled by January 1st, 1872. They will be
made of Carter county iron, which is peculiarly
adapted to the purpose, it having been demon
strated by experience that car wheels made of
this iron last longer than any other. This or
der alone will circulate $4,000 in Knoxville
This speaks well for the estimation in which our
manufactures are held, and is an index of what
can be accomplished by those engaging in de-
yeloping our mineral resources.

Tho Farmers, Convention,

The convention of East Tennessee farmers
that assembled yesterday rather surprised our
citizens by its numbers and representative char
acter. We hail it as an indication of the in
creased interest this great class is to take in the
work of building up our State.
But the occasion is afforded our citizens by
this meeting to show the great farming interests
OF our section that as class they are fully APP
preciated and their work endorsed. We hope
snch courtesy and attentions will be shown the
delegates present as will impress them with the
energy and hospitality of our people.

GreeIeY in New York.

The Rochester correspondent of the
New York Herald writing of the State
Democratic Convention says:
Every room in the principal hotels is
engaged by the delegations, inside and
outside of regular Democratic Organiza-
tons, and there seems to be a settled de-
termination on the part of all who shall
meet to unite upon some plan that will in
sure i'll the Convention on Wednesday a
change in the federal administration. In
the meantime there are few Democrats
who declare that rather than swallow
Greeley they would take General Grant
without a qualm. In Albany county they
say, "Put up Greeley as the Democratic
nominee and the county, largely Demo-
cratic as it is, will go for Grant" Onon-
daga is sure for Grant. on the Greeley is
