THE Knoxville Chronicle and Nash
vile Bulletin gravely charge, that't the
ten thousand dollars appropriated by
the State, to encourage immigration,
has been embezzled, jointly, we sup
pose, by the Bureau of Agriculture
and the editors of the Rural Sum-
Without any knowledge of the grounds
upon which the charge is based, it is
due to ourselves to say that something
more is needed than the ipSe dirh of
scallawag or arpet-bagger to fix such
a stigma upon those whose integrity has
been unimpeached up to the date of
that charge.
Personally, We are unacqualnted
with the accused parties, except MIR.
j. B. Killebrew, who was raised in
this vicinity, whose vocation was that
of a farmer for fifteen years-with
which vocation he became acquainted
experimentally, practically and theo-
retically-and whose integrity was I'M
impeached up to the time he left this
county. Since that time, he has done
more, at his own expense, to encour-
age immigration, to arouse the dor
mant energies of the farmer and eX-
pand his knowledge of agriculture, as
science, than perhaps any other
man in the State, in the same length
of time. We do not believe that any
member of the Bureau, or any editor
of the Rural Sun, has fraudulently APP
propriated dollar of the ten thous-
and set apart by the State to encour-
age immigration. If, however, any
one. or more, of the accused parties is
guilty, we hope the accusers will pur-
sue them patil adequate punishment
is inflicted. The honor of the State
and the integrity of its officials out
weigh, with us, all personal and par
tizan predictions, and although we
give credence to no charges preferred
by the organs of party notorious, at
home and abroad for its habitual plum,
dering of the treasury, we shall with
hold our opinion of the prosecutors
until the verdict is handed in.

heads wreafhed with garlands, sacri-
fees to Mars and Jupiter. Then come
cars heavily laden with the spoils of
carnage, gold, silver, pictures, costly
garments and the armor of the van
pushed army. Elephants, trained to
war, trudge on like moving mountains.
Then come the captives, loudly la
,nenting they had not persisted Icy fire
or sword upon their native shores.
Following this troop is seen long line
of men with instruments which they
accompany with shouts to drown the
cries of the captives. Then great
multitude of men dancing and leaping
in manner wonderful to see!
The shouts cease. A splendid char
lot drawn by white horses announces
the coming of the Consul His face
is Aushed-the purple robe falls from
his shoulders where it is fastened by a
golden eagle. A golden ball hangs
from his breast, in his right hand is a
sceptre, on his head crown of laurel.
The Roman citizens and the Senate
crowd around the chariot. Last in the
procession comes the victorious army
their helmets wreathed with laurel
A shout is raised in which all join,
and the proud pageant passes!
Such, o friends, was Rome in her
days of triumph Pantheon, or tenn
pie of all the gods, but from whose
reeking affairs victim dared not call
Remember me-
Following the eagle and the cross,
we enter Jerusalem. We are pressed
into the Judgment Hall. We hear the
Roman soldiers cry, "Hail King of the
Jews" They have before them man
meek and lowly. They put a crown
of thorns upon His head and they put
upon Him the purple robe; they
scourge and smite Him, and lead Hin
away to cruelty Him, He bearing His
cross. This man is JESUS, the Savior
of men, the King of the world. Nc
voices sung, Laudamus Te, 0 Victoria
o Victor, yet His death was the victory
over the world, and He, victor ovel
death. By the cross stands his mother
weeping. See the Roman soldier pierce
His side Holy Mother, canst thou
not help thy child? Voiceless Vestal
wilt thou see Him die? Yet Rome
teaches her children to pray, Hail
Mary, Mother OF the Lord!" o Lamb
of God Divine Savior! Light of the
World! Bearer of the Cross! Con.
queror of the Tomb! Assembled Lord
Wearer of the Crown
Friends, farewell What Rome was
she is, and will be. Rome mere,
changes!
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood.
From Thy pierced side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears forever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know,
These for sin could not atone.
Thou must save and Thou alone.
In my hand no price bring,
Simply to Thy cross l cling.
i While draw this fleeing breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee

THE Modocs who are to be tried by
court martial are like Mrs. Surratt
condemned in advance of a trial.
Grant however, may be more merciful
than was his immediate predecessor.
We have nothing to say in extenuation
of their crimes except that they were
driven to desperation by villainous
agents and have government prece-
dents for their treachery.

EX-PRESIDENT JOHNSON.

A prominent Tennessee Republican
politician reports ex-President John
son slashing around, with an eye on
the United States Senatorship, and
having a poor prospect for that posi-
ton, unless he can make an alliance
with the Republicans, which the same
gentleman says the ex president is now
trying to arrange. A special friend of
johnson says the plan is to make him
Governor first and next Senator, both
of which he regards as quite easy to be
fixed.

CHOLERA, which had dwelt for cen.
turtles in the regions of the Ganges
broke out in Calcutta-as an epidemic
nearly sixty years ago. In 1920 il
slew 10000 persons in Bombay. A
year later it had the rivers and the
road to Persia, Arabic and Asia Mi
nor. A little more than forty years
ago it was travelling over Europe, Ii
first appeared this side of the Atlantic
in 1892, at Quebec. Two days later il
approached Montreal. In fortnight
it broke out in New York and visited
most of the large cities of the country.
But it has not been an epidemic in
this country for forty years, the in
stances that have occurred being wholly
exceptional-Erchdnge.

not come mainly from the independ-

whether their disorgaizing efforts then,
ought to inspire confidence in their

STIMULATED by pride of country
and patriotic devotion to its honor and
prosperity and guided by enlightened
wisdom, the people of France have
paid their war debt. In this country
where no such incentives exist, the
people have paid into the public treas
ury, taxes enough to carry ON the gov
eminent and pay off the federal debt
But that debt is still two or three
thousand millions, and the people seem
not to care what has become of the
money.

A MECHANIC in Philadelphia pro-
poses to build steamships of one solid
piece of iron or steel, without seam or
joint. This he accomplishes by well
ding the plates and frame, instead of
using bolts or rivets. He claims that
he has invented machinery by which
the thing can be done, at a great sa-
wing Of cost, of weight and of time,
and with a great gain Of strength and
durability.

fore, | paid no attention to him, when
coming nearer he discovered the huge
reptile within few feet of me, coiled
for the deadly spring, and my right
hand within few inches of his mouth,
each gazing intently into the others
eyes. He comprehended the situation
at once, took hold of me violently and
threw me backwards, from the snake,
and thus broke the spell partially.
The snake did not attempt to escape,
but attempted the same movements
again, but the negro at once set about
killing it; but I begged aud implored
him not to KILT, but he was deaf to
my opportunities, and soon numbered
it with the slain. 1t measured about
four and half feet in length, and
about four and half inches diameter
in the thickcst part of the body, and
had eight rattles.

ence of the snake or something else,

hallucination, or whatever it was, was
not only pleasant but exhilarating. /

surroundings, drinking in the most
melodious sounds to which mortal ears

only lacking one undefnable some
thing, I could not tell what, but it
seemed almost within my grasp, to
make my happiness complete. l wept

A Radical says the Patrons of Hus-
bandry may loose much and can gain
nothing by entering the field of poll
tics. Will that Solomon inform us
how any organization can oppose the
villainy of the Radical party and still
eschew politics. The various monop-
olies that Cypress and impoverish la
Dor, are of political origin and are
banded together as political engines to
uphold and perpetuate a political par
ty which has robbed labor of its hard
earnings and the people, of their
rights, their liberties and their sub
stance. We believe, in view of these
organizations, that the Radicals have
much to lose and nothing to gain, and
there is where the shoe pinches. The
cry against their secresy, will avail
nothing when it is understood that its
sole object is to keep out of the organ
ization, the spies and minions of a
watchful despotism.

THE Brownsville States says that if
the next Governor is not elected from
West Tennessee, he shall be from East
Tennessee. in which last Division, there
is an "old man eloquent" ready to re-
spond to the call. Now if this is a
sample of democratic patriotism, we
want none of it in ourn.' IF it be
Conservative craftsmanship, that party
had better disband and ask Radical
ism to take its place. IF it be good
taste to threaten the thoughtful, the
honest and patriotic with discord, de-
feat, or Andy johnson, the embodi-
ment of both, unless they submit to
the dictation of few discontinued
wireworkers, the term has a new mean
ing for us. For ourselves, we care not
from which Division the next Gov
ernor comes if he be honest and COM
petent, and should feel far less worthy
of public confidence, did we shape our
political convictions by considerations
that do not embrace the State as
whole. Good government is the end
we aim at, and to attain it, deem it in
dispensable to shield it from the
blighting curse of Radicalism. Can
this be done by fomenting discord and
splitting Conservatism into factions !?
Is it not rather aiding and abetting
those who would bring the State again
under the controlling influence of that
corrupt party? We do not believe,
however, that the States carefully
weighed the consequences, of its utter
anees, or that he really desires that
they shall give shape to the policy and
feelings legitimately to be inferred
from them.
