shara we Have SWISS Immigration 2
The KnoxgilIe Chronicle publisher the
following highly important letter, dated
WASHINGTON, ID. u. Aug. III, loIz.--
P. Staub, Esq, Consular Agent OF Switzer-
land, Knoxville, Tenn.-Dear Sir: The
long silence observed in tennessee relative
to the proposal of DR.. Joos, II continued
much longer, will surely consign the whole
project of securing Swiss immigration to
Tennessee on larger scale than heretofore
to the things sswished for" but never to be
attained for, want of an earnest will.
IL looks to me very much as
though Tennesseeans were waiting to
see some other State take the lead
in the direction indicated, believing
it would then be time enough to fall in line
and also make bid. To so do is simply
disastrous to Tennessee, (Which State
should be proud to take the lead in such a
| matter. The emigration from Switzerland
| is too small to permit it being directed to
more than one State by the potent influence
of her municipalities. The State that first
boldly steps forward and shows that it
values gond citizen more than hundred
acres of unilnproved land viii be the State
whose enlightened appreciation of her sons
Switzerland will recognize to be. most en-
titled to this profitable labor and indomit-
able energy-labor and energy that have
made the mountain. sides paradise for the
husbandman and tourist.
That with increasing railroad facilities
throughout the West and Southwest, Ten
nessee should, by using only ordinary
means, be able to successfully compete for
the advantages of foreign immigration and
capital is out of the question, and if the citi-
zens and statesmen Of Tennessee leave the
opportunity slip by that DR.. Joos has Of
fered them, 1 doubt if it viii ever again be
of any avail 10 attempt anything calculated
to secure municipal influence in Switzer-
land for Tennessee. In my position, l see
clearly that some such offer as DR.. Joos
has proposed should be made by Tennes-
see-will be made by some other locality,
1 and so far as the Swiss are concerned,
equally as acceptable to them, and when
once the Consulate General in the interest
of its countrymen approves of a proposal
from any other State, that projec. so far as
emigration en- mass is concerned, will re-
ceive it's undivided attention. The holders
of mountain lands in Tennessee have now
an opportunity to do for the State and
kthemselves what can best be shown by the
appended table: a-A fL

Dennison of Washington, against President
Grant:
NATICK, Aug. q, 1872
10 Rev. G. w. Dennison,
SIR:-I have just read in the Springfield Re-
publican of this date, your letter on the drink
Ing habits of Gen. Grant. L am astonished at
seeing myself quoted as saying to you in con-
versaton last winter: president Grant drinks
too much. / have told him So" Senator Will
son, you say will not deny this. l do deny in
the most emphatic language that L have ever
said anything of the kind to to you, or any
thing that resembled it. Your statement is un
qualifiedly false.
During the last nine years have seen Gen.
Grant hundreds of times. l have seen him in
his camp, in his family, at his own table, at tue
table of Others at home and abroad, and have
never seen him under the influence of intoxi-
eating liquors. I remember distinctly our con-
versatiOn. You referred to the ISLANDERS con-
cerning the Presidents drinking habits. l said
TO you what have said to others, that l re-
GREETED that the President used intoxicating
liquors at all; that l wished he would take the
pledge, and that l had mind to ask him to
Join the Congressional Temperance Society.
What said of the President have said of all
our public men who use intoxicating drinks or
furnish them to others. | have for many years
felt that if our public men would wholly abstain
from their use as beverage they would confer
lasting benefits upon their country and upon
thelr race. Nor have any doubt, sir, that if the
truth could be known in regard to the cases
ferred to in your singularly reckless statements,
twould appear that each one of them was a
cruel and malignant SANDER.

Secretary Robson addressed the Republicans
at City Hall last evening. The audience was
large, about svery seat being occupied. The
meeting was called to order by F. N Dow,
Esq, who nominated Mayor Kingsbury as
chairman. Mr.. Kingsbury assumed the duties
in a very brief speech and introduced the speak
er of the evening.
Secretary Robson was received with hearty
and long-continued applause; and in beginning
of his remarks he said he could hardly be expect
ed to interest his hearers with a discussion of
personal matters or local questions. He should
avoid partizan questions and prejudices, but
confine himsef to a discussion of great princi-
pies He came as a representative and in some
sense an advocate of the Republican party, de-
claring the principles of truth and right upon
which governments rest. The great principle
on which self-government is established is civil
and political liberty. Next to his God man
owes his duty to his country. That country is
an organized power which preserves whatever
Is valuable to him as a man, as u member of a

A Whole Family Murdered.
A Wagon Load Of Decaying COrpses.

NARYsvILLE, Mo-, Aug. PAN atrocous
murder was brought to'light yesterday by the
arrest of u man named Osborne at Clermont, a
small town twelve miles northwest of this city.
1t appears that Osborne was travelling with
team and covered wagon and stopped for some
purpose, when some men were attracted to the
wagon by the stencil proceeding from it. Upon
an examination of the wagon five dead bodies
were found. Osborne confessed at the end of a
rope that the murders were committed by one
Williams near Houlton, Kansas, and that he
(Osborne) was employed to take the bodies out
of the way. He confessed that he had travelled
with this load five days. From memorandum
found Oh the body of one of the victims it was
inferred that they were party of Moors con-
sisting of Mr. Oms, his wife and two children
and young man named Dickinson, who is
supposed to be brother of Mrs. Oms. The
last memorandum made by the young man was
at or near Cotton. The coroner held an inquest
yesterday and the bodies were buried at Cler-
mont. Sheriff Wray just returned here and
says he thought he saw the prisoner at Cler-
mont The people would not give him up. 1t
is thought that Osborne will be executed by
the people who have him in charge.
