ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WILLIAMS in
his response to Governor Brown, says
that a compliance with his demand,
that citizens of Tennessee, charged
with violations of law, shall be turned
over to State Courts, would be to sur
render power essential TO the exist
ence of the national authority" This
is broad assertion that the creature is
greater than the creator and that the
States have no rights except such as
they are permitted to exercise by a GEN.
tralized power at Washington. States
rights are destructive Decentralization,
and the frequent violations of those
rights by federal authority, are intend
ed to familiarize, and reconcile the
people TO the proposed empire. 1fthe
people of the North, are ready to ac-
cept monarchy in lieu of a republic,
those of the South have nothing to
lose by the change, and would prefer a
subjugated North and South to the
sectional tyranny by which the South
is insulted and oppressed. The decis-
ion of this question is with the North,
and we will only add, that under a
wise ruler the South would flourish
exceedingly and give vitality and char
acter to the empire. Grant is not the
choice of the South for the response
bic position, but ifthe North prefers
him, it is no funeral of ours and We
will not don the emblems of grief.

PRESIDENTIAL.
Grant Among the lndians-He YOlun-
teers q Little Speech.

VINITA, I. T., Oct. 1.-THE Presi-
dent, in company with Secretary Borie
Gen. Harvey and others, arrived here
this morning Hundreds of Cherokees
turned out to see the great father
Col Boudinet addressed the President,
welcoming him and saying:
You have crossed the threshold OF
the Indian Territory, TO a country
larger in area than the six new Eng
land States, and unsurpassed in natural
wealth by any section of the country
of equal extent, In your journey to-
day you will pass for two hundred and
forty miles through portions of the
four principal civilized Indian nations.
the Cherokees, Creek, Choctaw and
Chickasaw, numbering in the aggregate
some fifty thousand souls, of whom
about twenty thousand are negroes and
whites. Whatever difference of opin-
ions there may be among the Indians
of this territory. respecting questions
of public policy concerning them, l
am sure all unite iu the conviction that
you, Mr.. President, are the true and
steadfast friend of the Indians, and
will exercise your great influence on
al suitable occasions to protect our
interests.
Three hearty cheers were then given
to the President, when he replied as
follows:
1t affords me great pleasure to visit
your beautiful country, a country
which have never seen before, though
| have been Oh all sides of it. 1t is
rich in soil aud of surprising beauty.
Without saying anything at this time
about the policy which think should
be adopted with regard to this Terri
tory, | will say that am pleased with
such evidences OF advancement among
you and hope you will be encouraged
in cultivating the soil of SO rich and
magnificent country.

WATsoNvILLE, CAL, Sept. 30, 1874.


THE following are the closing re-
marks of Col. Savage's speech at
Franklin. We reproduce them be-
cause they embody important facts in
recent history:
Col. Savage discussed the currency
question, the State and national debts,
the funding bill and the Civil Rights
bill, and closed his speech as follows
Gentlemen, what if | were to tell
you that an aspirant for this high Office
once desired and was bent on hanging
Gen. r. E. Lee? Would not some
johnson man say it was false?' Yet |
can prove it by the sworn testimony of
Gen. Grant upon his oath before Con-
gress, aud Grant is a good witness
against him, for they were confederates
in reducing the South to bondage.
Here is what Grant swears:
Il frequently had to intercede for
Gen. Lee aud other officers on the
ground that their parol protected them
from arrest and trial. The President
at that time occupied exactly the re-
verse grounds, viz: That they should
be tried and punished, and wanted to
know when the time would come when
they should be punished. And Grant
swears this afterrepeated cross-exami-
nations. (See McPherson's Hand
book, page 299
Now this high parsonage who wanted
to hang Gen. Lee, oftentimes, and in
my judgment in very bad taste, refers
to the crucifixion of our Savior-and
while / dislike alluding to sacred
scenes in connection with politics. 1
hope | may be pardoned for carrying
your mind back to that greatest of
crimes, when the sun hid his face, and
this old globe trembled to its founda-
tons, and ak you to let your memo
ries run over the long catalogue of
dark and infamous deeds that have
disgraced humanity or drenched the
world in blood. Is there any crime
committed or attempted by bad men
from the cruci6xion to the present
moment so dark and infamous rs the
one that Grant swears he prevented
this bad President from committing.
Appalling thought Andrew John
son hanging r. +. Lee! the man of
this age before whose honor and bright
name the renown of the Caesars and
Bonapartes-the Emperors and Kings
of Europe-yOur Grants and Sher-
mans pale almost into darkness-and
whose name will now brighten with
time-he has no peer in history but
Washington One drop of his blood
coelained more patriotism. honor and
truth than a hundred such bodies as
that of the man who desired to hang
him.

THE different phases of reputation.
though tending to the same result,
are interesting developments of the
characteristics Of their respective ad-
vocates. Bill Stokes is desperately in
need of votes and, in order to tickle
the fancy of the whites in his district,
promises to repudiate the State and
federal debt, unless the administration
will consent to issue two thousand
millions of bonds to pay for the eman-
cipated slaves. When in Office, moth
ing was farther from his intentions than
Justice to the South. Barber Lewis
in order to out Herod, Herod will
make clean reputation unless the
government pays for negroes and all
other losses occasioned by the war. he
too. is after the white vote. Hawkins,
another Radical, believing that he and
his party are going to the devil together,
is for unconditional reputation, State
and federal. Andrew johnson, more
polite, throws thin veil over his re-
pudiation in the form of the argument,
that, as the bondholders have received
in the shape of interest, as mnch as
they paid for the bonds, therefore the
bonded debts liquidated, and the gov
eminent can honestly repudiate its own
paper. Mr.. johnson is candidate
for the Senate and hopes to secure the
election of majority Of regulators,
in the next Legislature. Should he
succeed in this, he thinks his election,
by that body will be placed beyond
doubt. r..r.

States which held elections yesterday
are as yet meager, We have enough to
indicate that we have carried one OF
them at least by most gratifying ma
jority Ohio has unexpectedly rolled
up Democratic majority of probably
fifteen thousand over the majority for
Governor last year. We gain FIVE
Congressmen-in the fourth, sixth,

This gives eleven out Of the twenty
members from Ohio.

gained one Congressmen-Holman in

by handsome majority. Il
Iowa and Nebraska send in their
usual Republican majorities, and Da-

overwhelming majority.

The Packing Season Of 1s74.s.

There would appear, from present
indications, that the season will open
with a cautious feeling, and light trade
all around, unless the packers take
hold of the whole crop, as they did
last year, and carry it. But this is not
SO likely from the advanced cost of
81 .25a1 so on the hog. As we have
noted lately, better weight aDd fatter
hogs have been coming into the West
ern markets to an extent to produce a
decline, aud enable packers to throw
out poor hogs for the first time this
summer. The corn crop of several
States is reported to be good, while as
to that of those deficient in yield, the
quality will be such as torender it nee
essary to feed more and ship less, which
will 90 far to make up for advance in
price of corn and deficit in weight Of
hogs. As to the number, it is a mat
ter of speculation almost purely, for
the spring breeding of hogs can be
brought into requisition, if necessity
requires, at the close Of next season.
In view of all these facts, the DISPOSE
ton of dealers to hold off is explained,
as the position is too much mixed to
enable them to form reliable estimates.
and peddling trade is looked for at

Horace Maynard is lean and hun
gry-looking man, tall and slender, with
small almond eyes, thin nose, complex
ION as dark AZ an Indian; hair straight.
sleek, black. very long, and suggestive
of Indian blood. 1t is said that he has
Indian blood in his veins, and | have
never heard that he or any of his
friends denied it. But it makes no
difference, now that all men are equal
without regard TO color or previous
condition. James ID. Porter is trim,
slender, youngish-lookiug man, with
regular features, good head moderate
beard, and as straight in person as an
arrow. He is young, his first appear
ance In public life being in 1858. He
was in the Legislature at the break
ing out of the war, and left It to draw
his sword 10 defense of the sacred
rights of the South, which he thought
were being trampled upon. He served
upon Gen. Cheatham's staff during
the war. Maynard knocked the pins
from under Cheatham in the canvass
of 1872, and now he is met BY staff
officer Of the same general.

GRANT has solved the problem of
Indian civilization. In late visit to
some of the tribes he advised them to
raise cotton, and this in the face of the
fact that the New England wing of his
party used to say that the cotton grow
ers of the South were all barbarians.
But what Grant does not know, is just
what every body else ought to know.

THE average American reads, with
feelings of indignation, the account of
the arbitrary Imprisonment of Count
Won Arnim, by Bismarck, in order to
force the surrender Of private docu-
ments essential to the yindication of
Won Armin's official character. Yet
the same Americans applauds Grant
for the arbitrary search and imprison-
ment of private southern gentlemen,
upon testimony which he knows to be
false, and for ends which he knows to
be base. The difference-if any-is
in favor of Bismarck who is only the
Prime Minister ofan Emperor, whilst
Grants tyranny is the act of the un-
faithful servant of free people.

Gov. Brown VS.. Ex.Pres't johnson

NASHVILLE. Oct. Gov. Brown,
ina speech at Waverly to-day, took
occasion to especially defend himself
against the attack of ex-President
Johnson's Shelbyyille speech. He
declares that he is a Democrat, and
supports its nominees and platforms.
He denies being a candidate for the
United States Senate
Speaking of his pardon by the ex-
President, he says 5-t 90
What is meant by this strange asser-
ton | am at loss to determine. Its
obscurity is perhaps studied. If he
means to imply that 1 have procured
or proposed to secure my Office by i'm
proper means, and that | have resorted
to or viii resort to unfair devices for
his destruction or his defeat, | have
only to say that the charge is untrue, aud
the SANDER is defiantly hurled in the
teeth of him who conceived and gave
it utterance.

says. The belt of land in the valley
of the Mississippi, in which Union
City is the centre. At the exposition
held in Nashville in 1872 was exhibit
ed cut twelve inches long AIKEN from
a sassatras tree grown in this belt (near
Union City, which measured inside
the bark. which was about two inches
thick, four feet eight inches in dame
ter. This cut was taken from the tree
at distance of twelve feet from the
butt, and was perfectly solid. There
are growing also on this belt, mammoth
poplars whose trunks, at distance of
three feet from the ground will meas
ure not less that seven feet in dame
ter. Union City, Kenton, Palestine
and Crescent City are all situated upon
this division. which i universally con-
ceded to be the richest belt of land in
the county, if not in the State.

taxing Church property-arguing that
the Constitution forbids State aid to

they should not bear their proportion
of the burden which weighs SO heavily
upon the people.

The southern third-termers are
likely to become disguised with Grant s
efforts to carry Louisiana and Alaba-
ma, for his party, at the point of the
bayonet and in defiance of the Con-
stitution and laws. They are already
disguised unless they are covert
friends of his usurpations and sspirs-
piration after sovereign power.
