w"Mack." the WASHINGTON 90

GS Mack" the washington cor
respondent of the st. Louis Demo
crot, relates that ex-senator Yates
of Illinois, has asked President Grant
for some public appointment. The
President, who had a warm person
al feeling for Mr.. Yates in his better
days, expresses much qualification at
the improved appearance and con-
dition of the ex-senator since he
abandoned his dissolute habits, and
says; ''Ill give him almost anything
he wants, if he will only Go what's
right as to himself" "Mack" states
that the President will give him a
Governorship of one of the Terri
tories, upon tenure conditioned up
on his strict adherence to temper
ance principles and practices. Mr..
Yates, as Governor of Illinois, gave
Grant his first commission as cap
tain, and afterwards as colonel of the
Twenty first Illinois infantry.

this, it has come to pass, that Mr..

HON. JAMES MONROE.

A Washington corresI ondent of
the Cleveland Leader, speaking of
the above gentleman, says:
But while most Congressman are
receiving the homage Of their con-
stituents and poor relations, Hon
James Monroe is here, busily oc
cupied with his legislative duties.
There is not a harder working man
in Congress, or one who works TO
better purpose. Mr., Monroe is of
New England stock, college bred,
and has Lad several years expert
ence as legislator and foreign minis
ter. He is man Of ripe scholarship
and of remarkable ability. He was
for several years professor of belle
lettres in staunch western college,
and, during the eight years spent
abroad he devoted himself to literary
pursuits. Certainly there are few
men who have more thorough and
appreciative knowledge of the litera-
ture and philosophy of the past and
present than he. That he combines
with a ripe scholarship the essential
elements of genuine statesman, is
evidenced by his excellent standing
on the finance committee and in
Congress; and especially by his mas
terly effort in vindication of the fin
ancial policy of Secretary Boutwell,
Unless all signs fail very successful
political career is before him.
Mr.. Monroe and his wife are valu-
able accessions to the society of
Washington. Mrs. Monroe is lady
of rare intelligence and refinement
She is daughter of the renowned
President Finney, and sister Of Mrs
j. D. Cox.

CARRYING DEADLY WEA.
PONS.

The evils growing out of the prac-
tice of carrying deadly weapons in
civilized communities, are so trans
parent that general demand is be-
ing made for more stringent laws up
on this subject or more rigid en-
forcement OF those now in existence
The Buffalo Advertiser, in referring
to the subject, says.
There seems to be q widespread
conviction that the days of capital
punishment are numbered. The
crime of murder is holding high earn
ival but the punishment of taking
human life is so rare that it is be-
lieved the time is not far off when it
will be relic of the past.
1t is thought, however. that mur.
der may be checked, if the Legisla-
ture would pass and the police en-
force stringent laws prohibiting the
carrying of loaded or other deadly
weapons. The habit of carrying
firearms, bowie-knives and weapons
of that character, has developed to
an alarming extent within the past
few years-notably since the war.
With such weapons in ones posses
sion it is easy to get into a quarrel
and hard to get out of one.
If the Legislature would make a
severe punishment the penalty for
this bad habit, it might be possible
to check murder, even though it

will govern themselves accordingly.
A fine organ will be offered to the Sun

that those of our readers who want the

struct our mailing clerk to stop all papers
when the time is out. We treat all alike.
We have occasionally sent papers after the
time paid for and the parties refused to
take the paper or pay for it. The fairest
and safest rule is to stop the paper. We
mean no slight by it. We do not mean

don't have confidence in him. If he wants
the paper continued let him write and

Tennessee may be fairly classed among
the States possessing great advantages for
making iron. Its resources for the cheap
production of iron and steel are attested by

The Cumberland mountains contain as
fine beds of coal, iron and lime, known to
exist in proximity to each other, as any
in the world.

the house of a certain citizen of that ward,
and, failing to notify the lady of the house
of his business, at once proceeded to inspect

fine chickens, and completing their inves-
LEGATIONS they departed. AS soon as they
were gone, the lady at once had her SER

Concert ut clinton.

On Tuesday evening last the young la.
dies and gentlemen gave concert in the
interest of the Methodist Church at Clin-
ton. The entertainment was excellent.
To give the programme and particularze at
this late date is deemed unnecessary. 1t
was intended to make a more extended re-
port but sickness of your reporter has de-
layed 1t till too late. The church realized
some fifty or sixty dollars from this benev-
olent enterprise of the young people of our
neighboring village, while large audience,
ranging from the grey-haired father down
to the prattler of but two summers, was
most universally delighted. The acting
was not only good in amatures, but much
worse has been witnessed in veterans on
the stage. Those who took part in the per-
formances would lose nothing by transfer
ing the scene Of their concert from the
comparatively small hall of Union Aca-
deny at Clinton, to the more spacious
halls OF Staubs Opera House in Knoxville.
In word, the whole thing was creditable
to those who conceived it, to those who ex-
ecuted, and to the time, place and sur
rouudipgs Of the occasion. We forbear to
speak OF the feminine beauty displayed for
fear injustice would be done. 1t dazzles in
our imagination yet.
