Judge Johnston, of Cincinnati, delivered
a lengthy speech a few days ago at
Columbia in which he referred to the
charges of gift taking as follows:
But gifts to public men in actual politi-
cal life are not always complimentary
merely, but often substantially aids in sus-
tanning the otherwise ruinous burdens
of public life. In the midst of his parlia,,
mentary career Edmund Burk received
from the Marquis of Rockingham gift in
money sufficient to have purchased hand
some estate in this country; and the Ouch
ess of Marlborough gave old Pitt 10000
equal to 1000 of our money-as she eX-
pressed it, For hdUinq Defended the lars
Of his country, and endodUored to SAFE II
from Uin.n
Henry Clay once became involved by en-
dorsing for his friends to the extent, if my
memory serves me Alright, of 10000. To
relieve him from this weight of care, a par
ty of gentlemen redeemed his paper and
sent it to him rs a present. The same
thing was done more than once for Daniel
Webster.
Now, / say, that substantial gifts, in
money or other property, to faithful public
servants, to save them from embarrassment
or ruin, are quite as harmless, and far more
useful, than gifts merely complimentary
And L suppose that, in consideration of
the inadequacy of the Presidents salary to
meet Jne eNiHeuCleS VI lllSi Olle CuSJOLl
grew up to present the incoming President
with coach and pair of horses. Presi-
dent johnson and President Grant both
declined this customary gift, and probably
put an end to the custom.
1t is melancholy chapter in our history
that Mr.. jefferson, who entered public life
with a splendid estate, should have been
so reduced in old age as to have lottery
chartered for his relief; and that General
Jackson, who went into the Presidency
with rich domain six miles square, when
his second term expired had to sell his es-
tate piecemeal to pay his debts.
1t is worthy of remark here that since
Grants first nomination to the Presidency
he has not received one dollar or dollars
worth by way of gift from anybody.
But if Grant had received gifts since his
election to the Presidency, what then
Washington received gifts before he was
President, while he was President, and af'
ter he was Pres6ent-received them not
only from his own countryman, but from
foreign princes. You cannot look upon
his equestrian portrait without recogniz'
ing the white charger presented to him 10y
the King of Spain, nor visit Mount Vernon
without being shown the offerings of hon
or and gratitude which he received from
great and good men at home and abroad
Even the mosaic hearthstone and richly
sculptured mantle in his dining-hall are
complimentary gifts.

A threshing machine took fire at Du-
rant, Iowa. A young gentleman named
William Spronie, who was feeding
jumped upon the top to put out the fire,
but being unable to do so, and the fire
striving him back, he stepped by mistake
on the feed board. AS the machine was
in motion he was dragged in bodily. His
right leg was torn raggedly off above the
knee and passed into the machine, and his
thigh bone was broken in four places.
The machine was stopped by the flesh in
side and the man taken out. He bled to
death in fifteen minutes. The machine
was entirely consumed.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, July /, 1872.
To the Readers Of the Weekly Chronicle:
Trade in Real Estate during the past
three months has been dull, except in large
tracts of Mineral Land, which are being
purchased while cheap on account of their
prospective value. Coal property that
was purchased for $40 per acre five
years since, cannot now be had for 500 per
acre. Other lands on the line OF railroad,
40 miles from Knoxville, already develop
ed, we are offering at $50 per acre.
The high price and scarcity of Iron is
having the effect to call attention to our
cheap Iron and Coal Lands, and many en-
terprises are being inaugurated which will
develope this important branch of our re-
sources, and bring handsome dividends to
those investing their money in the stock
of such companies rs will be well man
aged.
The rapid growth and development of
East Tennessee is now assured, and the
field is an inviting one to any one, in al
most any branch of business or manufac-
turing.
We have at all times a large list of
Farm, City and Suburban Property for
| sale, and purchasers are invited to call.
| We make no charge for showing property.

ANOTHER AMENDMENT. - Certain
funatical sectarians who are eve
easy except when stirring up a com
motion, and endeavoring to force
their peculiar ideas upon others
were to have met at Cincinnati last
month. to engraft the following prin-
ciples upon the Constitution of the
United States:
l. i nation is a creature of God.
>. 1t is clothed with authority de-
rived from God.
). 1t owes allegiance to Jesus
Christ, the appointed Ruler of ma
tons.
L. 1t is subject to the authority of
the Bible, the special revelations Of
moral law.
The New York Tribune demurs to
the movement on the ground that it
proposes, whether better or worse,
something totally different from
what it now is-a distinctly theo-
logical document. For example:
If these amendments should be
adopted we do not KNOW what IS TO be
done with those citizens, Jews Tor N
S:ance, who do not acknowledge ''alle
glance to Jesus Christ =" as " the Az
pointed Ruler of N%ations,' or with
those Christians who do notaccept the
Bible as the special revelation OF Oral
law The truth seems to be that GER
tain excellent people, with good inten-
tons which it would be uncharitabie
to gainsay, wish to puttheir particular
views into the fundamental law of the
nation. = = People here
and there profess to fear that the
Roman Catholics will get possession of
the Government. We do not see why
we should furnish them i'll advance
with Il precedent for forcing upon US "a
Roman Catholic Constitution.

ment TO encourage and foster all these
oinlil near where the

Mr.. Chairman, if we are to be de-
prlved of this mean of placing the

will consider that mining is our lead

that you will not heedle>>ly cripple
the almost sole industry of our Young
but rapidly growing Commonwealth.
The debate was continued by
Messrs. Willard, Dawes and May
nard, the latter gentleman saying
that he had visited the mint at Car
son City, and found that an excellent
building had been erected by the
Government. and at consi derable
expense it had been supplied with
the most improved machinery known
10 modern art for the purpose of
coming. To take away the mint
from Carson would be bad policy as
matter of legislation, and also a
great injustice to Nevada, which, as
is we'll known, is simply one great
silver mine, producing a very large
proportion of the silver produced in
the world.
The amendment was agreed to,
there being 90 ayes, and the opposi-
ton not counted. ALIEN.
