Their Report Adopted Unani-

Received with Interruptions

MOultOn Creates u SensatlOn.-IIe
DenOunces the Speaker
In Violent Terms.
And Is Escorted Away by Two
Policemen.

NEW YORK, August 20.--rhe report
of the investigating committee was
read by Professor Raymond. During
the reading of the report frequent ill.,
terruptlons were caused by the APP
plause which followed certain passages
sustaining Beecher, and 0utbursts of
laughter were drawn out by many al
lusions to Moulton and his participa-
ton In the matter. The concluding
portion of the summing up ofthe COM
mittee were received with waving of
handkerchiefs, hats etc, and the APP
plause which greeted its ending was
almost deafeniug.
During the church meeting, after the
report had been read, Raymond said
that in all that evidence taken before
the committee, he claimed that there
was not single line which disproved
Henry Ward Beecher's story. The
Speaker recapitulated some parts ofthe
tNlucllCt luhcu bcloIc lllc coiliiitttV'
In referring to Mr.. Moulton's part in
the affair, he said that Mr.. Francis d..
Moulton had tried to poison the minds
of men against Beecher. This seems
to have aroused Moulton, who, stand
ing up erect, glared ut the speaker and
exclaimed twice, in tones which echo
ed throughout the building: "You
are liar, sir" Instantly all was con-
fusion. Men and women rose to their
feet the latter mounting on seats and
joining in the cry With II hearty good
will of "Put him out shame" etc,
and Kissing in the midst of which Mr.
Holiday came forward and making
hims elf heard above the din, partially
restored order by saying; "Gentle-
men, let him sit still and hear the
truth" But Mouton still remained on
his feet, glaring around like Il wild
beast at bay, and saying, 81 dare you
to put me out.n Two police officers
appeared behind Moulton, and he re-
sumed his seat.
The report was adopted unanimous
ly.
The police protected Moulton while
leaving the building. They hurried
him down an alley way to where a
carriage was in waiting, into which he
was pushed rather than helped, and
with police officer standing on each
step of the vehicle he was driven rap
idly away.
The audience then quietly dispersed.

FooTE VS.. JOHNSON.

The Washington Chronicle, of Tues
day, contains an article over the sigma.
ture of Ex-Governor Henry S. Foote,
nearly two columns in length, in
which the writer assails ex.President
johnson in the most vigorous manner.
He states his attention had been called
by Col. Jno. b. Brownlow to the fact
that he had been mentioned in the
newspapers in connection with the ex.
President as candidate for the United
States Senate, to succeed Senator
Brownlow. He denies that he is a
candidate, and says if he was that he
could never think Of resorting to the
expedients which are now being.used
by the ex-President to secure an cleo
ton. He then makes "A number Of
grave charges against Mr.. johnson,
which he asserts he can prove by ample
testimony.
1t is proper for us to observe, in this
connection, that none of the charges
are new. They have all been made
before. He says that the election of
johnson to the United States Senate
now would inevitably revive the
agitation OF issues heretofore recCg-
nized to have been settled" The fact
has been pretty well established some
time since, that Foote doesn't like
Andy, and we presume there is not
much love lost, as Andy cares very
little about Foote. Be this as it NAV
however, we have no objection to
these two distinguished gentlemen
canvassing the State together if they
choose. Let them commence as soon
as the farmers are through with their
crops and have leisure to attend upon
their discussions. 1t would be a popu- !
lar entertainment. They are two "old
coons" and would make the " fur |
iy." When Greek meets Greek then
comes the tug of war.

Educational Notes from Jefferson

NEW MARKET, JEFFERSON Co, TENN.
July Sd, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLES: Having
on yesterday attended the ex-
animation and closing exercises
of Prof. II. G. Sharp's school,
at Friends Station. 1 think it but
just and due to the Professor and his
pupils that some public expression
should be made of the very creditahle
manner in which all acquitted them
selves more especially since the columns
of your valuable paper, are ever open
in the interest of Educational matters,
and all that tends to build up our East
Tennessee. By the liberal provisions
of our free school law, this District
the 3Sth) have had good school for
the past ten months, under the charge
of the efficient Prof. Sharp.
The class examinations Of yesterday,
was sufficient to convince all that, with
the efficiency of teacher, close and care>
full study had been bestowed-it was
certainly very creditable, and was
amusing to see with what promptness
and correctness the little fellows
handled themselves. 1t was announc-
ed that the last exercises would begin at
early candle light, and long before that
biiAN VIC ohNlNlt6 btRdh ",
until the crowd assumed proportions
that would have been a credit to some
city school exhibition. 1t was various
ly estimated to be from three to five
hundred people, seated in the beauti-
full grove, surrounding the school
house. The music under the leader
ship of Profs. Anderson, Henderson
and Foster was well rendered, and ad-
ded much to the seemingly monoto-
nous school boy declarations. 1t
would be trespassing too much upon
your space and time to
speak in particular of the
lads and Misses who took
part; suffice it TO say, that the Woo
tens, Dooleys, Bales, Sharps, Hender-
sons, Vests, and i'm fact all deserve
praise for the fine style in which their
parts were rendered. The exercises
continued until midnight, all leaving
the grounds highly pleased and well
repaid for the attendance and atten-
ton. Now Messrs. Editors, not being a
resident of the district to which / have
referred, can say without feelings OF
delicacy, that for unity of sentiment
upon educational matters and for deep
interest in schools, and patronage be-
slowed, no district in this county Is
ahead of the 3Sth. In a word, Friends
Station is station of friends, especi.
ally in school matters.
Respectfully, W. L.

The Race for Attorney General.
kgLE g. KICKS.
Chronicle.

The Democratic party managers are
drawing political lines and forcing the
election for county officers to take par
ty lines. This is conspicuously SO in
the race for Sheriff and Attorney Cen
eral for Knox county. In the latter
race through sore domestic affliction.
Mr.. McGuffey has heretofore been un-
able to see the people in the country.
The long sickness of his wife and her
death has necessarily kept him at
home. His opponents have taken ad-
vantage of this, and have circulated
the story that he did not go into the
country because he was too aristocratic.
Everybody who knows Mr.. McGuffey
knows him to be a temperate, moral
Christian young man, and that as a
lawyer he Is far superior to Mr.. Will
hams. lie has had experience in the
office, and will be better able to meet
the older lawyers at the bar than the
present incumbent. The county will
save thousands of dollars in costs. we
believe, by the election of Mr.. Nc
Guffey. He has lived in East Ten
nessee nearly nine years, and we do
not believe the endeavor to make him
out a carpet Dagger will succeed. We
believe the people will vote for the
0est man, and therefore support Mr..

NO NEED FOR DIVISION

1t has been the object of SOME O.
those prominently identified with the
Changers to impress the farmers with
the idea that every other class in the
country was arrayed against them
combined and confederated to throw
the burdens of taxation upon them,
and rob them in trade of all their hard
earnings. OF course such men are In
the Grange movement for selfish ends.
They know that what they tell the
farmers is false, but appeal to their
prejudices and take advantage of those
who are not better informed to make
them believe it. Every intelligent
man knows that the prosperity of the
country depends upon the success of
the farmers. When crops are good, or,
in other words, when labor is reward
ed by products that can readily
be converted into money, then we
all share the profit. But while this is
true the farmers must remember that
the price which their products bring
depends upon the prosperity of the
consuming class-which embraces pref
ty much the rest of mankind. In
this government our duties and inter-
ests are reciprocal, We can not all
farm, neither can we all manufacture
or barter in goods. ANY one class that
organizes against all the rest of man
kind must find itself in bad way.
With every organization or effort to
aid the farmer in raising more and
better products in cheaper and less
laborious manner, we deeply smypa.
thize. This should be the aim of their
oranges or farmers club. The follow
ing extract from the address of Gen.
Jackson, a prominent farmer of Mid
die Tennessee, we endorse.
He says: "Our influence should be
used not TO war against any legitimate
interest of the land. Our mission is
not to war against middle men, and
adopt the foolish suggestions of some
Grange speakers, who seem to desire
to drive middle men into the pro-
ducing ranks-(the very worst thing
we could do, since the proportion Of
agricultural producers TO all other
pursuits in the State is far too great,
the farmers being 70 per cent. of the
entire population. Farmers should act
in concert, but they have nobler and
more profitable work 10 accomplish in
the present movement than the estab-
lishment of Grange agencies for the
sale of their products-oftentim
abused by those who electioneer for
said positions. Their concentrated
efforts should be directed TO the eleva-
ton and advancement Of their class
socially, intellectually and financial
ly."
But politically, the interests Of all
honest men desiring faithful and
economical administration Of govern
ment against rings and incapable men
is too great to permit divisions in their
ranks. The thieves, and rings, and
monopolies are not divided, and if the
farmers think they can overthrow
them without the aid Of honest and
experienced men in other yocations in
life, they very much underrate the
nature of their opposition. If they
allow their organization to go into
politics, they will fail to elevate them
selves in the respects named, and also
fail to relieve themselves Of the bur
dens Of which they complain.

For the, edification of our friends in
the Third Congressional District this
side of the mountains, we print the
following from the GAINESVILLE Tobacco
Leaf:
Col. John II. Savage, of McMinn-
vile, is spoken of as candidate for
Congress, in his district. He has been
suggested for Senator, but his old dis
trict, where he was so long the leading
spirit in politics, appears to desire his
return TO Congress. He will max re
himself felt wherever he may be. Few
men possess the power of Col Savage
TO fRpress an audience. His old con-
tests were among the most mastery
our politics ever produced.
