MoRmsTOwS. Aug. S.-fheFe was con

Court Clerk, and Davis. for County Court
Clerk, are oil reelected, with Thompson,
Democrat. for Trustee. while the Radicals
were successful for Revenue Collector, Re
gister. and Constable. During the day the
Hon. ROderick X. Butler could be seen
strolling through the streets evidently TAX
ing in passing events.
A few davs since Mr.. John III. CrOzier,
Jr.. Democrat, and sam Noe, Radical, aspi-
rants forthe lower house Of our Legislature,
spoke at the Courthouse, Crozier opening
with a brief but telling speech, IN which
he pointed out the defects Of our laws IN
reference 10 the county assessments, show
ING that small and poor counties paid into
the treasury as much revenue as some Of
their larger and Weather neighbOrs; thai
tho duty Of our next Legislature was TO
inquire into and remedy this defect, by
ecualizing assessments. Referring to the
"Social Rights mOnStrOSity, lie said
This was 4 white mans government and
could only be perpetuated by the rule
and management Of white men, that
the mixing of the whites and blacks
for legislation cUIldneyer hesuccesSfui, and
that all the laws which bad men could con
ceiye, would not force social relationship.
In further handling this .-sum OF villain
les he stated no government on cart
had ever attempted such an Outrage, that
nature itself revOlted against it."
Next. Mr.. sam Noe mounted the stand,
addressing himself particularly to his col
ored fellOw-citizens (clOse observation
however, failed to find one in the rOOm)
with a harangue about finances, Something
he evidently knew nothing abOut,) and
wound it up by saving that he was for tax
inc the people sufficient 20 decrease the
State debt, and il We could not he was In
favor of reputation. ''Civil Rights being
next i'm order, evidently his favOrite
theme.) he commenced by saying: 'Had
been in Congress | would. with all my
might and main, have voted for the bill.
This sentence had scarcely escaped his
lips before his audience ca mdSse moved
for the door. Seeing this, he called out

empty benches. This shows that even
Fast Tennessee Radicals can't stand thic
OdiOus negro equality.
Have visited several watering place;
since we left. Tennessee, including White
Cliff which cannot refrain from mention
ing in particular. These springs are stu
ated on the top Of ChilhOwee Mountain
200 feet above the beautiful valley Of the
Conesauga, through which meanders a
crystal stream, fringed with beautiful ma
tive evergreens. The approach to the
mountain is from Mouse Creek, on the l.
T. Va. and Ga. r. r., 40 miles east o
Chattanooga.
The corn crops bid fair to be gOOC
average since the rains of the latter part OF
last month. The wheat did not yield as
much as was anticipated, but is Of very
superior quality; and while there is consid-
cradle fruit. the East TenneSseeans neeC
have no fear of famine. The East TenneS
see Iron and Coal Company having solC
out. for half million dollars, their large
iron and coal beds to Eastern and Northern
capitalists who design workingthem othei
fullest extent soon, will give new life anS

in this important development of the min

There is another feature which will lea
to grand results, and is well worthy Of i'm
itation, which is, that the farmers here an
beginning to sell off part Of their larg'
farms at reasonable figures, so that they car
increase the number Of farmers, and at TN
same time invite immigratiOn,the only feas
able plan to secure this much talked-of adj
dition to our wealth and prosperity. TIT
only way TO get rid Of the negro in on
State is to supplant him with an immigra
ton of small farmers. MUsICUs.
