FACTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.
Table showing Advantages of Our
Climate.
NO. CyIII.

We have had so many letters expressing
satisfaction with an article published some
months ago concerning the advantage OF
our climate, and as the demand for that is
sue has exhausted our surplus copies, we
republish the table, adding figures for three
additional months of 1878. The article re-
ferred to was as follows:
We have received a largely increased
list of letters during the past month and
most of them come from persons disheart-
ened at the dreadfully severe weather of
this winter throughout the North. The
burden of complaint in nine cases out of
every ten letters we now receive is at the
uncomfortable cold weather. We want a
warmer climate where the winters are not
so long, say most of our correspondents.
To answer most of these letters in one ar
ticle, we have prepared the following table,
which shows from the official observations
of the Signal Service Bureau at Knoxville,
the average temperature of every month of
the year 1872, and for one month of 1878.
We give also the highest mean daily Their
mometer in the summer months and the
EXTREMIST mean for day of cold in the
winter. The table is one of value and
should be studied by our friends North:

THE contrast between Tennessee and
Kentucky Democracy affords striking
evidence of the chameleon-like qualities OF
that corrupt and now defunct old organiza-
ton. Not long ago Governor Brown dined
and wined the Tennessee Legislature, In
the Lower House of which there is wor-
thy colored man-Hon. Simpson w. kee-
BILE, of Davidson county. Mr.. Keeble was
not only invited but occupied the post OF
honor at the table, and responded to the
first toast. Some of the Governors friends
were disposed to kick in harness." but
they were quoted by having their atten-
ton called to the close contest in our last
State canvass. The Governor had an eye
to business. m
In Kentucky there has been no such
contest. There Bourbonism prevails and
thrives. 1t is respectable. The position OF
Bourbon Democracy is considered impreg-
nable. Hence we are not surprised to hear
a man announcing himself candidate for
the Legislature, and placing his claims for
the position on the ground that his COM
petitor, who has been in the Legislature
before, had voted for the bill allowing col
ored persons to testify in courts. On this
issue he expects to be elected and the
chances are he will succeed.
