Andrew Johnson and the Funding
Bill

Mr.. johnson seeks to denouuce the
funding and assessment laws, and at the
same time to avoid denouncing the friends
of the measures OF course this is prop
er, in most cases it is honest; but Mr.
johnson has not been accustomed to de
nounce a measure without a wholesale
arraignment of igs authors. Why is
this, then? Dad" unfortunately, is
somewhere under this load of hay in
the persons of his ablest and warmest
friends. McGaugh"y, of Greene, 4 nan
of influence and ability, Blevins, of
Hawkins a man of more influence and
ORIGINATING and working ability than
any other man in East Tennessee Jno.
Fleming, of Knox, able aud infuen-
tial, a leader at home, all labored day
and night for these very financial meas
ures. Blevins declared repeatedly that
he reflected JohL son views, and when
requested, If that was the case, to bring
JOhnson's influence to bear on his
friends, either telegraphed or wrote to
him and Johnson came. That he cast
his influence for the funding bill cannot
be doubted. If it had been cast against
it, his friends would not have voted for
it, for Johnson friends regard his opin.

How unreasonng people are IN times Of
popular excitement is illustrated by an ac-
count of an volcanic eruption from "Bald
Mountain" in North Carolina, published in
another column. 1t resembles, though in
a limited sphere, the great Miller excite
ment of some thirty years ago. Then it
was all excitement, with nothing to found
it upon save the sayings and predictions of
self-styled prophet whom nearly every
one hereabouts knew. 1t was a pure de-
ception, unaided by outward manifesto
tons. Now, these manifestations are sim.
ply natural, a repetition, upon smaller
scale, of that which occurred sixty or more
years ago. Yet sixteen days and nights
are passed in anxious enquiry and prayer ;
converts rush forward by the scores ;
ministers are sent for from far and near E;
and why? There is, as there has been be-
fore, volcano, but these simple people
now think it is the beginning of the end of
the world. They are, doubtless, now sin
cere in their belief and IN their professions
of reform; but when the reaction comes,
as it will surely come, who can tell the re.
suit? How much of good or evil is in.
volved! How much of responsibility will
be laid at the doors of those who are TAX
ing advantage of the credulity of these
simple people! These are questions which
perhaps, only, eternity can answer.

of the walls ard crowded on the joists
above. Only portion of the upper story
having floor, and many not being able to
enter the house, crowded their heads in ut
the doors and manifested the most intense
excitement When the call was made for
mourners the people rushed from all parts
of the house and from the outside, with al
most frantic yells, and fell upon the floor
and upon each other, oil praying and sup
plicating in the most heartfelt and agoniz-
ing manner.
These exercises continued necessarily for
sixteen days and nights, with but little in
Permission. During this time the people
all lived in common. No attention was
givcL to labor or property. Cattle, horses,
and hogs were turned to the woods, and the
entire people within the range of this awful
excitement have concluded that they have
but few more days TO live. About 100
have made professions Of religion. The
closing scenes Of this strange meeting are
represented as most peculiar and wonder
full. During most Of this period of sixteen
days the mountain had continued at inter-
walls to present the same alarming impress
sions, but having prayed, shouted, sung,
and agonized for this long period they
separated with the promise that all would
remain and die If necessary. 1t is said

melancholy demeanor of this vast crowd,
