THE LAST SESSION Of the Forty-second
Congress will begin to-day at noon. We are
extremely glad TO see the faces Of our Repre-
sentatives again on our new beautiful avenues
and streets, and we hope they are duly CRATE
full TO the Board Of Public Works, who have
done so much during the last nine months for
their comfort To make their stay with US
pleasanter and more agreeable. We would
say TO them that We have expended good
deal Of money, hut rs we are certain they will
all readily acknowledge we have spent II well
and judiciOusy. Washington Is to-day one
Of the most beautiful cities In the world 50
far as her highways go. She Ia no longer u
by-word and acorn among the cities Of the
Union, and has begun to he really worthy Of
her position "a the capital Of the republic.

AMNESTY FOR POLITICAL OFFENCES.
A few days prior to the announcement Of
the death Of Mr.. Greeley, the veteran and
able editor, but poor and unfortunate states
man, the Philadelphia PresS contained the
following plalntlve appeal In behalf OF uni
versal amnesty for his late attempt 10 destroy
the Republican party. 1t was contained in
Washington letter written by Colonel Forney,
the able veteran editor Of that journal;
AND now that the veteran editor OF the Tribune
clearly indicates that he IL still Republican,
why Keep up the war upon hlm7 Il cannot hurt
him. Il cannot help Grant IL tmay please the
small people who have captured newspaper
spltea hope II will not stir the great old editor
10 any more anger. He did not steal anything,
or commit forgery or even murder, and he should
stand by his guns
Mr.. Greeley now sleeps the sleep from
which there Is no waking, and his faults and
offences should, as far as possible, be borne
to the tomb with his mortal remains. There
should be no war kept up on him or his MEM
DRY. But Il Is not ungenerous In this con-
nectlon 10 critlcisc the motive which prompted
the above appeal. Mr.. Greeley consplred
with the enemies Of the Republican party to
accomplish its overthrow, and, with that the
transfer Of power in the nation from its
hands to those OF party which, In part, II
not altogether, had sympathlzed with the
cRuse Of the late rebellion more than with
that Of tile Union In the hour Of its terrible
trial. In a lesser degree, but with no less ap-
parent bitterness Of feeling, the veteran editor
Of the Press emulated the spirit and action Of
Mr.. Greeley during the late political cam
palgn, when he attempted TO throw the or
ecutiye power Of the government Of Pennsyl.
yania into the hands Of Mr.. BuckAlew and the
Democratic party. Both these schemes failed
Of success, for the reason that the sovereign
people were true to themselves, their prin,
olplcs, and their country. Neither, however,
would have failed II Mr.. Greeley or Colonel
| FOrnOy could have had their way.
Now comes up the question Of forgiveness,
at the instance Of the veteran editor Of the
Press. Col Forncy, no doubt, thinks II am.
nesty can be secured for Mr.. Greeley, II will
be amnesty for Col. Forn6y and his Press
But Mr.. Greeley has passed to hls final &C.
count, where neither prejudice, passion nor
/ injustice awaits him. He will he Judged
/ righteously. The veteran editor Of the Press
Ia spared a while longer to meet the Judgment
Of his fellow-men, and 1t will be strange Il
they forget and forgive, without works on biz

A very interesting private entertainment
came off on Wednesday night, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Jerry Buckley, on McGAvock
street. The programme was made up of a
short drama, addresses, songs, Rotations,
tableaux, ETC., all of which were admirably
represented by the following young ladies
and gentlemen: Misses Mollie Maloney
Amelia Buckley, Katie Fitzgerald, Bridget
Fitzgerald, Mary Tsnsey and Sallie Pc
seach; Masters John Tansey, Thomas KEEL
ly and Willie Murray. The renowned Jer-
ry was stage manager, and deserves great
credit for the able manner in which he dis
charged his arduous duties. By the way,
this same Jerry Buckley has built stage
in his own garden, with green rooms cur
tanned off, and the whole trimmed with
shrubbery, etc, forming very neat and
we'll arranged affair, while seats were fur
nished in the garden for nearly one hun
bred persons, which, however, failed to
meet the demand, for large number were
compelled to stand during the entire per-
Torrance, which lasted two hours. The
young amateurs performed their parts well,
and the tableaux were really beautiful.

A New York Horse Thief Arrested
He Makes n Full Confession.

Last Monday several citizens of Wood
bury had their doubts aroused as to the
honesty of an unknown man who rode
through the town on a fiery horse, which
being unshod and scattered with mud gave
evidence of having travelled a long distance
and at no ordinary rate. Although it was
raining hard, gentleman named Sullivan
went in pursuit, and coming up with the
horseman wanted him to go back to town.
Being closely questioned he stated that his
brother stole the horse from Mr.. Sharp, in
Warren county, and he was merely going
to sell the animal. Mr.. Sullivan went with
the thief to the residence of Justice Miller,
and with him proceeded to NcMinnville,
where it was learned that the horse beio G
ed to Ramsey & King. The prisoner was
bound over to appear before the Circuit
Court of Warren county. The accused
says his name is Mule, of New York, and
being on visit to his brother, had started
home penniless, which induced him to steal
the horse

Organizing for the Campaign.

Pursuant to call through the press, a
number of young men last night assembled
at the City Hall for the purpose of organic
ing a Greeley and Brown Club. A tempo
rary organization was effected by calling
Gen. Theo. Trauernicht to the chair, and
requested Mr.. M. o. Brooks to act as sec
rotary.
Gen. Trauernicht addressed the meeting.
He said it was the duty of those opposed
to the Capitalization of power and in favor
of a republican government to do all in
their power for the defeat of
the Grant party in November next.
As the party of oppression was nov
marsnaling their hosts, it was
necessary that the friends of free govern
ment should organize and prepare for the
conf ct. Every honorable means ought to
be employedto defeat the misrulers and
plunderers of the country. The remarks Of
the chairman were throughout appropriate
to the occasion and received with evident
indications of approval.
On motion of Mr.. B. F. Brown, the meet
ing adjourned until u O'Clock next Satur-
day evening at the same place, for the pur-
pose of effecting a permanent organization.
All citizens favorable to the election of Gree
ley and Brown are invited to attend.

In MEMORIAM.


D. W. BALLEw was born in Burke county,
North Carolina, July q, 1920, and died at Holly
wood, his residence, in Fayette county, West
Tennessee, June 3, 1872.
When he was quite young, his parents emf
grated to East TenneSse, and settled in McMinn
county, near Athens. BY his estimable parents
he was trained TO strict habits Of industry and
morality. He was entirely free from the vices
so common to youth; he was never known to use
prOtane language, and was ever orderly and up
right in his department. His education, which
was quite liberal and thorough, was completed
in East Tennessee University, located at Knox
vile. While he was in this institution gracious
revival OF religion ensued, in which he, with
many Of his fellOw-students, professed faith in
Christ. After his return home from college he
united with the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, of which he continued an exemplary
and useful member to the day of HIS death.
Several years OF his early manhood were de-
voted to the practice of law, but the death of his
father made it necessary for him to relInquish
his profession and return t. the bosom of she
family and the superintendence OF the farm. he
became so extensively and so favOrably known
in East Tennessee that he was elected to the
Legislature in 1871, when only twenty-seven
years old. Such was the fidelity and efficiency
with which he discharged the duties Of that po-
sition that in 1855 he was elected to the Senate.
While a member OF this body he was united in
marriage to Miss Lowe, of Early Grove, Miss,
His lovely wife, with their three children, (all
that they had, preceded him to the heavenly
world, 81
In the fall of 1850, Col. BALLEw removed to
Fayette county, Tenn, and settled &C Holly
wood in the bounds of Pleasant Grove congre-
CATION of which Rev. Israel 5. Pickens is pastor.
IN his connection with this congregation he
: showed that his career in public and political
life had not impaired his devotion to the cause
of his Redeemer. Ia him the pastor ever found
a willing and faithful help, and his brethren q
jealous co-laborer. At his favOFite Hollywood
the minister of the gospel ever found awarm
welcome and peaceful home. In his life the
aged found abundant occasion for thankf illness,
and the young an example worthy of their imi-
tation. $50. I
The death of such man is not only an ocea-
sion OF deepest grief to his family, but loss to
the public, and especially TO the community in
which he lived, and the Church OF which he was
member. M liza
His illness was very brief, and the writer
knows but little of his state of mind In his last
hours Bat his life affords the most satisfactory
evidence that be was sayiDgy united TO Christ,
and is therefore now with him in glory.

when one of the legs with which he must
make the journey is of wood, it is "hen-

An Erglish woman has done this very
thing, and the poor husband is left without
one leg to stand upon and no wife to help
him along. --.-

to find her voice fully restored. 1t is sup
posed to be the reward of regularity at
