TROUBLE IN THE UP CoUNTRY.-President
Grant has pardoned, with a generous hand,
many of those who were convicted of ku-klux
outrages. 1t was his evident purpose, and
the anxious hope of the State administration,
that clemency should be extended as far as
the circumstances would allow. 1t was hoped
that the peace was assured, and that the good
sense of the people would supply the place OF
the troops The cavalry have been accord
ingly withdrawn; but the recent news from
the up country-from Laurens and from one
or two other counties, aue are iJormed-leads
us to suppose that the troubles have been re-
newed. We can assure the people of this
much, in the kindliest spirit-that the pardons
of those uho still remain will be retarded, and
other troops, more determined and numerous,
be supplied to uphold the civil authority and
protect the lives of the men who are brave
enough to assert the freedom of private 20.
ltical opinion. This thing is wrong. No
sober, honest man, be he Democrat or Repub-
lican, can sustain it. Every man is known,
and, for the peace of the State and the secu-
rity of business, we ask the good people of
the State to crush this fatal spirit. twill be
stamped out sooner or later, and we ask the
influential men to stop it before it is too late.
The Federal military will support the State
civil authority, and that vigorously and speed

HOW THE AUsTRIANs MARRY.

American newspaper men from the close
competition attending their business and
the intense enthusiasm thrown into their
work, become trained, close observers. A
trip to Europe is now deemed essential to
the accomplishment of editor-in-chief of
leading daily paper. Many newspaper
men are consequently making the tour of
Europe, and their letters are exceedingly
valuable and interesting. Accustomed TO
comment upon everything in social life,
in politics, and religion that seems to them
worthy of notice, they write upon subjects
not often commented upon in the
European press. The managing editor of
leading Western journal of great enter
prise, in instructing new correspondent
starting out on a. tour of the East and
South, said: Remember that what is
new to you is new to nine-tenths of your
readers" Acting upon this very brief and
comprehensive advice, some of the Ameri-
can editors now abroad write very inter
esting facts about European customs. One
of these, Mr.. c. {. Fulton, of the Balti-
more american, writes from Vienna about
" Marriages in Austria, " in which he gives
some information that will prove interest
ing to our lady readers, who are suppos-
ed to be always interested in this subject.
Mr.. Fulton says that young ladies are not
allowed many privileges in Austria. Even
in wealthy circles they are not allowed to
go into society until they are engaged to
be married. They are generally kept
away at boarding schools and are kept in
rigid seclusion, the sight of a man being a
novelty. Her education finished, the
father and mother decide upon the dover
they can fix upon the daughter at her
marriage. From this point we let Mr..
Fulton describe the negotiation. He says:
The next move is to look for a suitable
husband, who will be able to bring to the
cash. If they cannot find one among their
acquaintance to suit them, in all respects,
they call in the services of a professional
matrimonial agent, who is well posted as
to all the marriageable young men in the
market. He or she, as it may be, keeps q
journal of the marriageables, not only in
Vienna, but in the provinces, and pro-
ceeds to negotiate with the parents of
young men to receive the applicant as
their daughter-in-law, and draws up the
agreements and bonds necessary for the
security OF the money part of the transac-
ton. Sometimes the young lady is al
lowed to see the youthful Adonis selected
for her life partner before the agreement is
closed, but in most cases she must accept
the choice of her parents. Love comes af-
ter marriage in many cases, but is by no
means a general result.

How Can Cholera be "Stamped OUT

EDITORS CHRONICLE: There is one
point now that the cholera is present IN
East Tennessee, that cannot be too fOrci-
bly, impressed upon the minds of the peO-
pie wherever it may make its appearance.
| am convinced by what / know of its his
tory in Greeneville that herein has been
one main trouble that has heightened its
stay in my unhappy town-the failure to
make prompt and perfect disinfectiOn of
all excavations of cholera patients. We
may say what we please and theorize as
we may incline, in regard to the causes
producing it in Greeneville, attributing it
to filth, imperfect sewerage, ETC., but when
known that the cholera was introduced
from Nashville. That much is very fairly
presumed now by those acquainted with
the first cases occurring. But the disease
was not recognized nor the steps taken to
hedge in, and so from the ferment of one
or two privies or water closets poisoned by
the cholera virus, the disease stalked forth
in its career of death. No doubt the par
tial cleaning out of the public privy aided
in spreading the disease, for those debris of
eXcrement had been infected, but it did not
introduce the disease.
Inow come to the point wish to call
attention to. In 1855 or 1856, if / do not
mistake, this matter came before the
Prussian Medical Society, in session at
ton of cholera was almost entirely, if not
entirely through the excavations of cholera
patients. L do not remember if they had
| the full microscopic researches before them
that our recent authors have of the spo-
rules OF fungoid present. / am inclined,
however, to think they did to sufficient
extent, for they decided that all evacua-
tons of cholera patients must be prompt
ly and perfectly disinfected, and that sui
phate of copper was found by experiment
| TO be the best disinfectant used. We are
recommended to use sulph. of iron and
carbolic acid, but does any one know for
certain that it will destroy the vitality of
the cholera fungus? They do not in all
cases destroy vegetation. Carbolc acid
will destroy animal life, but to what eX-
tent will it destroy vegetable? We know
that sulphate of copper on bluestone as it
commonly called, will destroy vegetable
| life. Our farmers have it in constant use
for the destruction of the fungus of smut,
and ii does it pretty effectually.
L merely offer these thoughts, trusting it
may call attention to the one vital point
| at issue, how and with what to have
thorough and systematic disinfection of
all privies, water closets or vessels used by
those having or suspected of having any
cholera symptoms. ROBT. MCC.

CHICAGos LINE TO THE SOUTH EAST.

We have been permitted to read a private
letter from w, S. Raymond, President of
the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago
Railroad Company, to citizen of East
Tennessee, on the subject of the talked of
railway line from Chicago to Augusta via
Knoxville. We make some extracts. He
says:
The road in question will be one of i'm
mense importance to the Northwest, the
Southwest and all the intermediate coun-
try. When completed it will undoubtedly
be one of the best roads on the continent
and is now the most needed and most
promising of all schemes that have been
lately projected, or that yet remains TO be
built. 1t is very plainly to be seen that
the South Atlantic States, North and
| South Carolina, Georgia and Florida
which are dependent upon the West for
their supplies of provisions, can only OBJ
| tain them through indirect and expensive
channels. This results alike injuriously to
both the producer and the consumer. The
| road will benefit in almost an equal degree
| all sections of the country through which
| it will run. 1t would in my opinion,
| which Is likewise the opinion of many
| Others, prove of indescribable advantage
| to Knoxville and East Tennessee. With
| the road completed, Knoxville will possess
advantages that will make her one of the
! best cities South OF the Ohio river. With
the great mineral resources that surround
her, such as iron ore, coal, marble, &C.,
| there is nothing to prevent her becoming
the Pittsburgh of the South. Knoxville
| aud East Tennessee should awake imme-
diately to the importance of this grand en-
terprise and make their power felt and
known. We cannot build this road with
out the cooperation of the people
| along the entire line. This [ think
we will be able to secure without diff
Guilty. In our conventions we have
unfortunately had no representatives
from Tennessee. / hope in the future we
will have thu hearty cooperation of your
people, for none have greater interest at
stake than they.
The writer then goes on to state how a
charter should be obtained from Congress
for the line, and speaks of a convention to
be held in Lexington next fall in the in.
tefests of the road, and says:
4 five cannot obtain congressional char.
ter lof which think there be little doubt,
We will be ready early next season for ac-
tive operations. In the meantime, the
question should he thoroughly agitated
among the people, and every agency EN-.
ployed to make it a success.

MethOdiSm in Knoxville.

DR.. Cobleigh, the talented editor of the
Methodist Advocate, visited Knoxville
lately and writes as follows of the pros
poets of his Church,:
Rev. J. F. Spence is experimenting, in
North Knoxville, the erection of a beauti-
full and substantial brick church, 81 by So
feet in the clear to be neatly finished in
the Gothic style, and to be ready for dedi-
cation by the lst of October. 1t will cost
when completed and furnished about
% ,0O0 and will be valuable ornament to
our cause there. Another church enter
prise in the city is in contemplation, to be
commenced rs soon as this is completed
which will give us three tiourishing socie.
ties in Knoxville. Such is the rapidity
with which our cause is decreasing ~
in that city. The prospects of our church
were never better than at present.
The question of "site" for the UNIVERSE
ty is not yet settled, but is rapidly approx
imating TO a final decision. There are no
more eligible and beautiful sites in this
country than some of those available for
this purpose. When ultimately decided
the church will be perfectly satisfied with
the particular location selected. Bishop
Haven looked the ground over and eX
pressed himself delighted and satisfied
with the one most likely to be chosen.

cholera, Rains. Crops. Etc.

EDITORS CHRONICLES: OF course the
cholera is the leading topic ofconversation
up here, as well as elsewhere and many of
our citizens are somewhat alarmed, al
though we have none of the prevailing"
in our midst, but take care for the huge
stories which Madam Rumor bring us from
Knoxville. To attempt to give you any
thing like an accurate account of the
cholera as it is represented to be in your
city would fill several columns of the
CHRONICLE, and then half the tale would
not be told.
Our people are eating but few or no
vegetables, and beans, etc, are whitening
on the vine. Almost every family is
armed with a bottle or so of DR.. Harris
Great Relief with which to drive away
the cholera if it come among us.
Our ever mindful housekeepers God bless
them are canning and in other ways pre-
serving berries, Ct cctcrd, to eat when
cholera days are gone.
Our townsman, \. A. Meek, Esq, who
was taken on Friday with violent attack
of apopeXy, is rapidly recovering, ard we
hope that he will soon be restored to his
usual health.
Last evening we were visited by very
hard wind from the northwest, followed
by shower of rain, which did great good
in cooling the air, laying the dust and re-
freshing our gardens and fields.
The wheat crop is rather light, while
oats are good, and a better prospect for a
corn crop | don't remember of ever seeing.
The colored Methodists are TO have q
grand Sunday-school celebration on Fri
day. They are making many preparations,
and anticipating a big crowd and good
time generally.
The ininhtable Billy Bailey, of McNTil-

is as lively as ever.

THE CHOLERA SCOURGE AT CHATTA.
FO0GA.
One Hundred and Fifty- -Four Deaths from
all Causes I'm Tweniy.Thrce Days.

One Hundred and -Four Deaths from
all Causes i'm Twenty-Thrce Days.
The Chattanooga Times of the 18th in
an editorial article on the cholera scourge
says:
During the past twenty-five days, our
city has been visited with disease that
has sent to the grave nearly one hundred
of our citizens, of all ages, sexes and con-
dtions in life.
Since the Goth ofJune up to noon yester-
day, there had died here of cholera, ac-
cording to the records a. the city physi-
clans Office, ffty-eight persons. During
this time of diarrhpa, cholera mOrbus, chol-
era infantum and kindred diseases, there
died tlIirty-one; twenty-three of whom
were colored, and eight white. The deaths
returned from diseases unknown during
this period, were twenty-five; eighteen of
whom were colored and four white. From
all other causes, from the Goth of June to
the 18th of July, both days included, there
died forty-three persons (; or grand total
of one hundred and titty-fOur deaths in
twenty-three days.
In the number of unknown the fig
ures show that while four whteHpersons
had practically no medical attendance,
eighteen colored died without being seen
by a physiciun during their sickness; or
a proportion of more than six to one of
lIl6 ISldllNc nulnDtIS vi WllltS anu DldCh
population.
We have lost greatly in trade in the
past month several of our most enter
prsiing citizens have fallen prey to dis
ease, for which our city government, past
and present, is responsible, in a great de-
gree.
The streets are gradually but surely, re-
gaining their wonted appearance of life.
There was more appearance of business on
Market street yesterday, than for any half
dozen days since the first of July.
Our physicians are all of the opinion
that there is not now the least danger that
persons returning here who have been
abroad, will experience any ill effects. In
fact they say that the very ones
that left were the very ones who
might have remained with impunity. If
some means of getting the poor people out
of town could have been devised, many
lives would have been saved. As rule,
those who left were in no danger what
ever.
Thare were three cholera deaths and
seven from other causes, Sunday and Mon
Monday.

The Shah Among the Women.

Next TO the grass and trees, or perhaps
before, the women of England have had
the honor to interest the Shah. Regard
ing them naturally from the Oriental point
OF view, His Majesty has made IA number
of remarks which will scarcely bear repe-
titiOn in print The prevailing fashion Of
dress has given him abundant opportunity
TO compare their attractions with those Of
his harem. For three he is reported to
have offered $50, 900 with the option OF
canceling the bargain and returning TO
England, if, after fair trial, they disliked
Persia. One of the three told me she was
inclined to accept it if the money could be
settled on herself, and if she could feel
sure about getting back. But ] thinl, uo

Massachusetts Gets the One Hundred Thou
sand Dollar Prize, and Tennessee the Fifty
Thousand Dollars.

The suspense is over, the lucky men have
at last been found. In looking over their
cores pondence yesterday the officers of the
Public Library discovered that ticket No.
20,9S3, which drew the one hundred thou
sand dollar prize, was purchased by Mr.. l..
H. Keith, of Kingston, Mass, and ticket
No. $500, which drew the fifty thousand
dollars, was bought by Mr.. Willis Worley
of Bradshaw, Giles county, Tenn. These
tickets were obtained direct from the Lii
brary. Mr. Keith bought eleven tickets
for one hundred dollars last March, and
among those sent him was the one that
drew the capital prize. He also held two
other tickets on which he drew his money
back. Mr.. Morley only ordered one tick
ct, and was lucky enough to hit the $780, 600
prize, He sent the order from Nashville,
and it was written on a letter-head of the
Tennessee House of Representatives, and
ii is supposed that he is "a member of that
body. The lucky men are doubtless ignor-
ant of the good fortune which has befallen
them, as neither of them have been heard
from, or they may have disposed of them,
and have no farther interest i'm the matter.
A list of the drawing and the news of their
good luck were sent TO them yesterday.
