METROPOLITAN LETTER.
A KIND WORD FOR THE aAzETTE-LocAL
sUIMAEY-PAT GAINS LAST.

sUMMAEY-PAT CAMS LAST.
KNOXVILLE, Sept. 10. 1878.
DEAR HELMS Two numbers of
your GAZETTE have been received.
and 1 must be permitted to say that
it equals in editorial and general
reading matter that model weekly
the Athens Post. Indeed, it is we'll
enough. by way Of parenthesis, to
arouse WINS to a sense of his danger.
But he, like all you friends, will re-
ioice at the success of the GAZETTE.
It is no easy matter to make q read
able weekly paper. these fast times.
when dailies hardly supply the de-
mand for fresh news. But the GA
zETTE is interesting, and deserves a
full and liberal patronage from all
your people.
Nothing of special interest has
transpired since you were on our
streets. Excitement about the SUI
preme and Federal Court not hold
ING their sessions has subsidized. The
atmosphere is clear and pure; the
nights cool and bracing-putting one
in the humor of embracing something
warm mosquitoes musical and
lively-and the great cholera scare
all scared away.
Chancery, Criminal and Circuit
Courts come on next, and to these
all Of us look for something interest
ing-something that will break the
monotony of a long, dull season.
Lawyers will have something to do,
q recreation they very much need.
A good anecdote is told of our ex-
cellent policeman, and Vidocq-lile
detective, PAT CAIN. Pat is not on
ly a good officer, bnt if not good
Catholic, leans prodigiously that way
in church matters. At one of our
protestant churches, recently, where
a revival was going on, some boys
had become noisy ana Pat was sta
toned at the church as Waterman to
keep order. Mourners were called
as usual, and the minister, in walking
! round, saw Pat near the door, look
ing serious and sinful. and mistak-
ing his natural appearance for indi-
cations of pungent penitence and
contrition of spirit, approached him
with kindly words of exhortation
and urged him to 60 to the altar OF
prayer. Pat was memorable. But
/ the good man was 10th to give him
up, and insisted that Pat should pray
and pray at once, and earnestly. Pat
could stand it no longer, but spoke
% out in meetin' -: g It's mcself that
was STINT here to acatch and not to
pray, and sure / mustn't be afther do
ing that - This ended the dialogue
and Pat neither prayed nor was he
proselyted to professionalism thai
night Of the revival.
1 may trouble you again if any
thing Of interest occurs.

THE CONTEST IN VIRGINIA..

THE CONTEST IN VIRGINIA.
The political fight now being
waged in Virginia, is attracting the
attention of the people of other
States, and, almost uneonsciously,
we find ourselves taking sides in the
contest. 1t is not to be wondered at,
however, when we remember the
former prestige of the old Dominion.
and witnessed the efforts being made
to blacken her record, by elevating
to the Office of Governor, an indi-
vidual who is willing to sink the
State, if thereby he may be placed
in position. If we had not seen so
much of desertion of principle since
the war, if once prominent Southern
men had not shamefully gone over
to their enemies, we should be sur
prised at the course of Robert w.
Hughes. 1t is fresh in the minds OF
all how bravely he defended the Con.
federate cause during the war-de.
Tended only with his pen, it is true,
but defended nevertheless. How
eagerly was the Richmond Exam.
iner looked for, and how were the
hearts of ragged rebels cheered by
its utterances Many Of those ring.
ing. stirring appeals were written by
Hughes, the man who seeks to be
lifted into the Governors chair, by
the aid of ignorant negroes and white
men less ignorant, but more deprav
ed. Shades of jefferson and Madi
son. Stonewall jackson and Lee
forbid
ais there not some chosen curse,
Some hidden thunder in the stores of heav'n
Red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man,
Who owes his greatness to his countrys ruin?"
But Bob Hughes is not Governor
and will not be. The Virginians are
aroused and the mountains and val
legs are even now reverberating with
the eloquence of her true and tried
sons. Her chosen leaders. with burn.
ished armor and glittering swords,
are on the war path, and woe be to
the miserable modocs who stand in
the way. The banners uplifted ev.
crywhere have inscribed upon them
the names of Kemper, Withers and
Daniel. and Virginians have a right
to be proud of their ticket They
are not men whose records need to
be disinfected. There is no smell
of cholera about their garments, nor
of leprosy. Virginians by birth and
gentlemen by instinct, they were he
roes during the war and have not
wallowed in the cess pools of politi.
cal iniquity since. We bid the Vir.
ginians God speed in their efforts to
save the commonwealth from the
fate which has Overtaken many oil
the Southern States. We look tc
Virginians to check the tide of cor.
ruption which has gathered strength
in the years since the war, and which
threatens to food the country with
all manner of evil. Her success in
the coming November, will be the
death of Radicalism within her bord
ers, and will encourage the people o.
other States to fight against that
Grantism, whose imperial front is
beginning to show itself, even tc
those whose eyesight is not very
acute.

PANAMA, Angus. 2t.-Up to the eighth
instant the news from Guatemala continued
to be highly satisfactory. The revolution
carriSd on so long by q chief called Mulgar,
aided by Pallacio5 and others against the
liberal government Of Guatemala has at
last been brought TO an end By the active
measures of the present constitutional
President Muigar, Bachito and other
chiefs have all been captured and Will
doubtless be shot.
The flibustering party under Pallaclos,
which effected landing on the coast OF
Honduras. and tried to revolutlonize Cen
tral America IN the interests OF the cIericai
party, have had to re-embark on board OF
the American steamer General Sherman,
but the steamer continues to hover OFT
the coasts of Honduras and Guatemala.
These countries are thus Kept IN

naturally feel indignant that the United

ton of Leonard w. Brown, charged with
an attempt to negotiate forged railroad
bonds was continued to-day. Brown was
committed without bail.

Brown, charged with passing forged bonds
of the New York Central railroad, was
refused today by Judge Dowling. who in
committing him for trial without bail, ad
vised Brown to give any information in his
power relating to the perpetration OF these
forgeries.
The effect of the recent forgeries has been
to lead to such close scrutiny OF the bonds
of railroads as to almost stop the negotla-
tons tor such paper.
An officer OF the Stock Exchange to day
stated that the other two parties known to
be engaged in the forgeries are expected to
be arrested by tomorrow. He also stated
that these bonds had been in circulation
since July.

CUBA.
Opinion Of the DiariO.

HAVANA, September 3.-The Diario to-
day has an editorial justifying the recent
breaking up of the Republican meeting by
the police. II says: 1t is we'll known that
futile attempt was made at the end of I'll Q
year to create political dissensions among
the Spaniards here. During the present
year the attempts have been renewed, with
some success, though great majority of
the Spanish party calling itself couserva-
tive continued to protest against the po-
litical agitation.
We should avoid all action likely to excite
passions or lead to serious conflicts. 1t is
our duty to endeayor to conciliate parties.
Tranquility of the city of Havana and the
whole island renders it necessary that the
law prohibiting the meetings of a political
character should be enforced. for the meet
ings only serve to produce deplorable con-
ficts against the citizens.
All Spaniards can live in peace in Cuba,
no matter what form of government the
nation adopts. but in order to realize this,
it is absolutely necessary to renounce the
formation Of political and military parties
