GOV. Browns Protest and the
Presidents Answer.

On the 18th inst, Gov. Brown sent an
earnest, manly protest to President
Grant against the arrests now being
made in West Tennessee by military
forces, and claiming that the civil law
was quite suilicienG in this State to pro-
tect the rights of person and property
of all races and colors.
The President replied by telegraph as
follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Sept. l9.-Hon.
Jno. q. Brown, Governor, Nashville
Sir: Your dispatch of yesterday has
been referred to the United States Dis
trict Attorney for Western District of
Tennessee for report, as there is no Off
cial Information of his proceedings here.
When his report is received, l will give
you a more definite answer, or have the
Attorney General do so. l will state,
however, that 1t is very gratifying to
know that the State authorities of Ten
nessee are disposed to suppress and pun
ish the class OF acts so dangerous TO life,
and SO opposed TO the political, financial
and moral interests of the State. But
the Constitution makes Tiny duty to en-
force the laws OF Congress, and Con-
gress has passed laws giving the United
States Jurisdiction i'm such cases as are
referred to in your dispatch. No spe-
cial order has been given to Federal Of
tiCers in Tennessee, further than the or
der of Sept, of the Attorney General,
which is general in its nature and con-
stitutes instructions to all Marshals and
District Attorneys wherever violations
of said acts may occur. Will add that
the state and General Government, as
You are well aware, may have concur
rent jurisdiction over the same otiense
as, for example, in cases of counterfeit
ing; and the action of the State author
titles in such cases does not prevent the
General Government from proceeding
against the offenders. L. ;. GRANT.

tration against the vindictive assaults OF

demagogues Of his own party. Gov
Brown is emphatically master of the sit

GB- Maynard is conspicuously the
head and front Of the radical party of
Tennessee. He has ,been put forward
by their State convention as their lead
er and exponent. Civil Rights is the is
sue. He is the champion of the bill in
Tennessee. Upon that issue hinges his
success or defeat. VIII the white men
of his party support him? Brownlow
says the State would have given a demo-
cratic majority of 100000 instead of So
600 if civil rights had been Endorsed by
the republican candidates in the last
election. That sit is no eXageration to
say that the very name Republican has
become odious with thousands of the
adherents of that party because of this
attempt to compel the education of the
races" which he contends the civil
rights bill provides for.
Now viii not the people vote in the
coming election even more strongly
against this "sum of villainies' than in
the last election when there was no di-
rect issue? Poor Maynard.

~ One of them wore a new plug
and the other his rarest accoutrements,
and they departed this city last Satur-
day evening ensconced in a beautiful
spring wagon drawn by mule with
paint-brush tail and a razor back.
While IN transit a cloud darkened the
horizon and they needs must hurry, and
as the driver dealt the gentle mule a
kindly rap to induce him into rapidity,
he gave a sudden start, when he of the
plug hat fell backwards from the wagon,
and his hat was the subject of crash
ing remark, while he of the rare apparel
balanced himself on the edge of the
wagon on the small of his back until
danger was passed. RemOunting, they
proceeded through the rain until five
leagues lay stretched behind them bear
ing their tracks, and just as "black
night crowded daylight from the stage"
they alighted at their destination-the
residence of the father of the beautiful
young lady they had encountered all
these mishaps and hardships to behold.
They endured the inequalities of the
father that night, and the next morning
they ate daintily of breakfast and as
sembled in the parlor and called for the
young lady. She came in all her charms
and beauty, and for half an hour heav-
en- seemed to smile, and just as they
were in the midst of enjoying one of its
healthiest grins, an ominOus knock
sounded on the paneled portals, and a
gay young cavalier Of the neighborhood
was announced and entered. He seemed
embarrassed, and his apparent pertur-
baton threw chill over the spirits OF
all. Seen he retired to the hall and was
heard to call for the mother, and in the
silence his cool appearance had engen-
dered in the parlor, our town heroes
overheard him imploring maternal APP
prevail of his affection for the daughter
and begging consent to a marriage con-
summation. The mother was heard tC
yield, and the syren voices of our boy;
were heard no more in that parlor until
one of them regained breath to ask to
to be excused, and they filed from the
front gate, and it came to pass that they
were sorely afflicted IN that they had
Travelled fifteen miles through storm and
dangers only to hear another fellow eff

In obedience to a formal demand from

authority into the hands of Gen. Brook
on the 18th, but protested against the
Kellogg usurpatiOn. He acknowledged
his inability and total lack of desire to
resist U. S. authority, and that no show
of force was necessary. The people OF
Louisiana could stand the usurpations
and insolence of Kellogg and his party
no longer, and hence they rose in their
majesty and overthrow him. They only
wanted peace and justice. They would
submit to Military rather than Kellogg
rule

Lerom the southern Cultirator. |


The course at present, pursued by
Southern farmers, is reckless and un-
wise beyond the power of description.
We have managed our interests 80 bad
ly, that labor rules, almost absolutely
the capital and brain power of our Sum
NY South. Agriculture-the most i'm
portant of all our secular pursuits-that
clothes and feeds the world, the King
upon his throne as well as the rustic at
the thnvil, is rapidly falling into the
hangs, and under the control Of free
negroes, who are destitute of all enter
prise; who have no aspirations, and no
self-dlrectlng mind; whose highest con-
ceptions of an earthly paradise, are
"whiskey, tobacco, and nothing to d."
This class OF people have now reached q
point where they are able to dictate their
own terms, and have things their own
way. They are furnished with mules
and land rented to them; they scratch il
over; make no manure, clear fresh land
to wear out IN the same way, use com
mercial fertilizers until they become O.
dead loss for the lack of vegetable mat
ter in the soil, and the very seasons of
the year that farms ought to be improved,
the lab0rers take to frolick around. A
large majority of the ablest workers of
the country, possessing muscle but very
little Judgment, are scratching away
upon their own hook, upon poor land
that is, getting poorer every year-bare-
ly able to keep soul and body together;
a dead loss to their country. A white
farmer can hardly hire for wages, even
the fag-end" of creation. No chance
to make manure or improve our farms
under the present regime. We have all
OF the evils of slavery upon us, without
any of its advantages-while our labor
ers are becoming moro and more de-
m0ralized every year.
Unfortunately, many of the whites are
more trifiing in some respects than the
negroes. They were not raised to work,
and had almost as soon die as to do it..
Stores and schools, agencies and loafng !;
in short, every thing is eagerly sought
after but the plough handles, the maui
and wedge. Isit possible that nothing
but stern, irresistible necessity can teach
wlsdom9 The great cry among our far
mers is, I've got no money, Pve got
money! Almost every one is strained
up to the last ink-their fields white
with cotton, and not enough money in
their pockets to buy o plug of tobacco,
just as coon az they gather few bales,
they are compelled TO hurry them off to
market and sell at ruinous prices to pay
for plantation supplies that ought to be
raised at hBme-and thus they dance
along; and you might as well try to turn
the course of the moon as to turn them
yet, there must be change, clsanqe.

An Organist tells this story: A strange
man was acting as sexton. An Old
gentleman who was deaf took his seat,
in a pew, and produced from his pocket
an ear-trumpet of curious shape, and
to the disnay of the temporary sexton
raised it toward his face. The sexton
sprang to his side, and said something
in low voice, whereupon the gentle
man endeavored to raise the trumnet
to his ear, but was prevented by the
sexton seizing his hand. With increas-
ing voice and excitement, he said ::
= eYou mustn't, sir. You mustn't blow
that horn in here. If you do, / shall be
obliged to put you.Out!" And the good
Old man, ,pOcketing his bugle, heard
nothing of service or sermon.

AN INTERESTING DIsCOvERY.-Ani in
,tsresting discovery, which may prove
to be of considerable Importance in its
practical applications, has lately been
made by Horrath, who announces that,
in the course Of experiments on the
effect of cold on frogs, he hasascertained
that the immersion of the finger in al
cOhOl at q temperature of $50 F. produ-
ces no pain, but that contact with O
solid body under such circumstances is
distinctly appreciated. Hence he con-
cludes that tactile perception remains,
though the sensation of cold is not ex-
perienced. Still further, Horrath found
that in the case of wounds and burns,
if the part affected be immersed in alco-
hol the pain Immediately ceases, and
the subsequent progress of a cure is
greatly accelerated. If, therefore, the
excessive and continuous pain which
usually accompanies excessive burns
be one cause of death, it is suggested
that life may often be saved by the
alienation of the pain resulting from
the application of glycerine or alcohol,
and that possibly tetanus may also be
prevented. The intense pain produced
by immersing the hand in cold water
is well known, while in ether and quick
silver it is still more intense.

beadle who had taken fancy to tho
manse housemaid. At a loss for an op-
portunity to declare himself, one day
a Sunday-when his duties ended, he

ye take turn, Mary 7" He led her to
the churehyard, and pointing with his
finger, got out, my fowk lie there,
Mary; wad you like to, lie there %
This grave hint was taken, and she be-
came his wife, but does notyetlie there.
