Col, A, y. Colyer. At Knoxville.


We ace from the Knoxville Croniele, Of
Yesterday, that Col. Colyer madSA speech
Tiers on Tuesday night,
Whether or not he had a large and ar.
prsciative auditory wO are not informed
All that We have from him is through the
Chronicle, which is run in thu interest Of
John Baxter aud the Radical party. Hi.
main points 10 what little he had to 'ay
seemed to be against the Democracy. Our
opinion Of Col. Colyer 10, that he ia not
more than politically responsible for what
he does and says.
There i, no political party that has the
Semblancc Of an organization TO enter the
approaching canvass in opPO'ition to the
Radical party but tina Democracy. Why
then insist that a new party be organized
to defeat Grant. There are but the tw,
parties IN the CO untry.
Those who act with Col. COlyer, BaS'
ter & Co., intend to support the Gram
party in the coming contest. They ar'
jus. paving their way.

Death Of Mai. IL. J. Vaughn.

Maj. Vaughn departed this life at
Columbus, Texas, on the 10th inst,
very suddenly from conjsstive chill.
Some time before his death he had
moYad ron Columbus to Georgetown,
md hal returned TO Columbus for the
purpose Of starting on \ visit to East
Tennessee. One OF his objects in COM
ingto +. Tenn, was to bring his youngest
child to his friends here, having some
eighteen months ago lost his wife leaving
the child but IN infant.
We need not speak Of Maj. Vaughn
to our many readers for he USs very gen
emily known in Tennessee. He was
born in M~adisouVille, Monroe county,
Tennesses, 1892, and WsG about 40 years
old when lie died. He wss raised and
lived in Monroe county until the break
ing out Of the late war, finished his ed
u~cation at Hiwasses College, read law
under 5Taj, II. II, Stevens and Col. W.
j.. Eakin, and became q good criminal
lawyer. In 1859 hs was elected by the
people of Monroe county to represen,
them in the Legislature Of 1880. One
Of tho first secession speeches made in
that Legislature Wal made by him.
When Gen. j. &. Vaughn commenced
raising the Sd Tennessee Regiment il
East Tenn ssce, even before the State
had secoeded, Maj. Vaughn left tht
Legislature and volunteered III the SAINT
an a private, but owing to disabilities
which he had since tho wal with Mexico
he was made i captain and qunrter-maS
ter Of the Confederate army.
He was afterwards MAIDS a Major o
tho Quartermaster's Department in thu
army, and proved to DO m efficient off
Ger, receiving the thanks Of Presiden
Davis for gallant conduct at the bastl,
OF Manassas in 1861.
W. regret exceedingly to hear Of tn,
untimely death. Of any Of u old Ess
Tennessee friends. The fortunes anc
u.isfOrtunes OF the late wal has almos
sent them to ul portions Of this grea
country. They have had the advers,
winds Of time to combat, and we foe
proud to say they have fought tho battl'
nobly,
In the death OF Maj. Vaughn NO fee
sorrow, and sympathize with his man,
friends aud relatives in East Tennessee
lie has simply paid that debt we al
have TO pay sooner or later. His deed
OF character nre left behind him. Ma,
he rest in pence until the great NOV
shall SUMMON him to that final accoun
when IA viii be prepared for tho cominI
thereof.

nessee. We have before us a copy Of q
Michigan paper which contains II letter
from = travelling correspondent in this
State, which gives his reflections upon
the educational situation in Tennessee,
NJ compared with that Of the North
west.
The writer sys: "That tho Stats is in

State is by nature one of the richest and
fairest in the Union, IL also the truth
and, that nature has blessed it with no
bic looking men and women il not less
true. But it needs n FREQ school system

and elevating influence over the whole

hills and mountain sides, with clean

and moral power upon all its people.
Whom the people Of Tsnnesseo shall

o%siver; and by enacting and enforcing
