The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1872-10-31

We learn from the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger, that the people Of that
city and below there for some distance
on the Macon e. Brunswick Railroad,
have been recently greatly excited over
a haurtod house. 1t seems that some
evil spirits took charge Of the dwelling
OF q Mr.. A. P. Surreucy. at No. G,
Station on the above road, and cut up
all sorts Of fantastic tricks. Crockerv
was thrown violently to the floor and
chrushed into atoms, while books, brick
bats, ears OF corn, furniture and other
articles were scattered around loosely.
The Telegraph and Messenger sent n re-
porter down, who confirmed the truth of
these strange scenes, while many gentle
men and ladies', who were also eye wit
nesses, certify that such was tie case.
There is somethingind0ed strange about
these queer proceedings, and time alone
can decide what it is. The reporter
thinks that it is the work Of some human
agency, but how, or in what manner
done he cannot say. If it should turn
ont to be some grand hoax, it is certain
ly something very wonderful.

About the time we 60 to press Capt.
Bard is addressing some thirty-6ve per-
sons, black and white, i'll Goddard's
warehouse No. 2. Owing to q press of
business We could not DO present only
for a few moments. Willie we were on
hand We heard Capt. Bard speak of his
rebel record, and give some of his roa
sons for supporting Grant, all of which
were III keeping with reasons assigned
by the majority OF men who V had
any political OPINIONS of their own.
Everybody knows Sam. Bard has been
everything, and a wonderful big nothing.
There is another man with him. who
has straight hair and white skin, by the
name of V. A. Gaskill, who, if we are
not mistaken, made his first appearance
as q preacher of the Gospel. Then
we learn he was indicted in the Su-
perlor Court Of Fulton county, Ga,
charged with crimes of n bad character,
and to defeat 9. trial or conviction, sup
plicated at the throne of Bullock who
gave him a pardon, which we suppose
he has along with him as a recommend
alton to his radical friends.
Both these meu were unconditional
and rampant Southern men at the be-
ginning OF the Lar willing to hang
every man who differed with them
In opinion. These are the character
Of mel that support Grant. Beautiful
specimens to send out among the
negroes to break them into line.
II Capt. Bard made any votes for
Grant here, we don't know it.

A Rally in Sumner.

The Onion and american say;
The Democracy of the "old Tenth
Legion had a rally at Fountain Head
yesterday. Gen. Cheatham, Coils, House,
Turner and Sykes were on hand. The
Democrats say, ave have helped Andy
in some mighty tight places, but we
can't vote forhim now 10 elect Maynard.
We must vote for old Frank this time"

The above We Gud in the columns Of
the Press and Myu'd Of Tuesday. We
have been disposed to Le'ievc that it Was
not the intention Of the Editors Of tue
Press Gad HsIuid to defeat tie regular
nominee OF he Dcm~ocrA.cpmty for Con
gre4siog the State ut Larse, bat that they
simply urged the Claius Of Johnson MS
thcu iirst choice. and wopll !inally
support the nominee. In that We Lave
been mistaken. 1t seems to be thein-
tention Of that paper Ia support johnson
Notwithstanding his utter and impossi-
bio chances for election.
We want the gentlemen Of the Press
md Hr0M to listen to us ipra moment.
Let them see If our calculations arc no.
right. In the first place We say johnson
will not carry q single county in last

in the counties Of Monroe, McNIinn.

but the 5th day Of ncxt month will
verify these figures,
How it can appear to the minds eve
Of The Press md Hya'd in any other
light We are u,telly unable to tell. Tor
such statements a. the above we can
only account for omtwo grounds: Firstn
wilful pcryersion Of the real status Of
things Orsecond, more than an ordinary
want of information on the subject.
The Press md Rtrold gays, ''oi course
there will be some who will say thatthcy
so for ChcathGm TO beat Maynard, but
such men, if sounded, would in nine

Johnson
This is SIMPLY 4 pcIycrsion Of the

The Press and Kera'd very well knows
that The statement il not correct. It is
made Fer the purpose Of dccciring the
people who are inclined to support

to attend a reception of the Governor
General. of the Dominion, and that his
horse there contracted the disease. II
was first brought to niagara on the
New York side of the river; thence it
was carried to Buffalo, Rochester and
other places. The malady is contagious,
and probably is not communicated in
any other way. 1t is to be hoped that
no affected horse will be brought into

The "organs" Of BrIgadier. General An
drew johnson, in this State make q
great ado because the press and the
people now revive the charge against
their idol, of unnecessarily hanging
Mrs. Surratt. They s~neeringly say that
the friends Of Cheatham "have lust
heard of the occurrence" and such like.
The friends of Gen. Cheatham have not
just heard OF it; but in pursuance Of
that charity which covers a multitude Of
Brigadier-G General Andrew Johnsons
sins, as long as he kept himself to him
SELF, and did not unnecessarily thrust
his vain p~retensions of greatness under
the noses OF decent people, they were
willing TO let hin forget the cruel and
wicked deed-if he could. If they did
not remind him Of it, it was not because
they did not know and remember it
but because they were wiling to let the
dead past bury its dead; and had he not
reopened the past and denounced Con-
federates as traitors, and guilty of hca-
son, he might have gone down to his
grave with no other reminder than his
own guilty conscience, of a deed of in
fanny which will cling to his name like
the poisoned shirt OF Nessus.-Er.

The Mexican Revolution.

We print this morning important news from
Mexico. BY special telegram from Matamoros
we learn that courier had arrived from the
interior with dispatches to the effect that Diaz
had reappeared and occupied Guadalajara
With large force. The States Of Guanajuato
and Morelia were in open instruction. Rocha
had abandoned Durango and was marching on
Jalisco, Donate Guerra following in hot pur-
suit. Durango had been reoccupied by Borego,
and immense supplies, with ammunition trains,
had been brought forward. The progress of
the army was slow. Still the siege guns had
been mounted on wagons, and the general ex-
pectation was that the fire would be opened
without further delay. When Treviio was
told Of the black flag, he laughed and ex-
claimed, ct is the flag Of cowards!" Accord
ing to the latest report Tabasca had arrived at
Bagdad with three hundred men and two guns.
The revolutionists had not yet made On appear
ance, although it was known there was some
slight skirmishing with Cortina. Thus it is
that the Mexican revolution drags its weary
length along. Mexico, like Cuba, seems
doomed to self-destruction unless it is taken in
hand by the United States.

THE FLIGHT OF THE SONG BIRDS,

Yesterday was a remarkable, If not an unpro.
cedented day in the history OF music In this
country. Two steamers, the Schultz and the
Fletcher the one charged to Its utmost capacity
with the friends Of Parepa-Rosa and the other
crowded with the admirers OF Nilsson, accompanied
the Cunard steamship Cuba down the bay; and the
Schultz parted company with the ocean steamship
at Sandy Hook. On the Cuba were the following
artists and managers Mime Parepa-R0sa, Carl
Rosa, Lyall, Mile. Nilsson, Mr. and Mrs. Aynsley
Cook, Charles Santley, Lindsay Sloper Henry Q:
Jarrett Max Maretzek and lady, Tim Karl. Mr.. and

had Grafullas band on board, with Herr S0st az
conductor, and all the prominent artists In the
city who were not on the passenger list Of the Cuba
cOngregated together to bid the stars Of the opera
an afectionate farewell. There were numerous
handshakings and heartfelt adieur the Cunarder,
and when the noble steamship moved out In the
bay the band of the Schultz played all the prominent
national airs Of America. When the Cuba, with
full steam on rushed by the waiting boat at Sandy
Hook cheer broke forth from the lips of the friends
Of the departing artists, and the last Of these
were Nine. Parepa-Rosa and Carl Rosa on the

deck, sending last and lusty cheer back to the
friends they left behind

FREE TEA AND COFFEE. bill abolish
ing the duty on tea and coffee has passed both
Houses of Congress, the amendment of the
Senate making the act to take effect the LIST of
July having been concurred in by the House
yesterday by large majority and without
division. The President, we presume, will
sign it. Though the reduction in the cost of
tea and coffee which must follow taking off
the duty will be acceptable to the whole COM
munity, for every family uses these articles, it
will not go far to cheaper living. This is but
q short step in the way of necessary revenue
reform. There are many duties and taxes that
press more heavily upon the people and the
Industry of the country that ought so be
removed. As tea and coffee are foreign pro-
auctions entirely, there was no protectionist
opposition to abolishing the duty. Indeed,
the protectionists favored the bill, because a
reduction in the revenue from these articles
would give them an argument for maintaining
nigh duties on others in order to raise suffi-
cient income for the government. Acceptable
as the adjustment of these duties NAV be-
congress must not suppose the people will be
satisfied with such q modicum Of revenue
seform There ought to be clean sweep of a
hundred millions of taxation at least
