BRAVE MEN WEAR NO MASKS.

The following is a literal copy of the
resolution in regard 10 outrages, offer
ed by Gen. w. B. Bate at the reunion
last Thursday of the Second tennessee
regiment, amended by G. B. Rogan
and unanimously adopted;
"Whereas. we are informed through the
newspapers of the country of various acts
of OutlawTy in this State; and, whereas, a
portion of our Northern press are imprOp-
erly seeking TO throw suspicion upon the
late Confederate soldiers as being the in
stigatOrs or perpetrators of such crimes; be-
lieving that there is no class of citizens in
the United States who are more orderly and
law-abiding than the late Confederate
soldiers, we take this occasion 10 express
our unqualified disapprObatiOn Of any out
rage or personal violence perpetrated
against any citizen of whatever race, color,
or calling; and We believe that there is no
class of citizens in f;le> South who yield
more ready obedience TO the laws or who
would go farther 10 support them and TO
suppress outrage. In our opinion, no man,
or set of men, who would go masked and
murder prisoners already in the custody OF
the law, ever stood forth unmaSked before
the enemies Of his country
Such is the spirit and manner in
which -Confederates hurl back the
imputatiOns cast upon them by reck-
less public speakers and writers that
they have been reduced by defeat TO
the level of crime and outlawry. Ger
tainly no such charge has ever been
made by conscientious and well In
formed men, but it has been made by
parties who enjoy the confidence of
many Northern people. 1t was highly
proper that an honorable body of ex-
soldiers, like the Second Tennessee,
should rebuke the offensive SANDER on
the occasion and IN the manner they
did.
We are sure that the resolution Will
command respect with all who are
aware of the gallant and manly record
of the regiment from 1851 to the pres
ent time.

SENATOR BRoWNLoW's letter to
Governor Brown, published elsewhere,
lays especial stress upon the fact that
the efforts made by the latter to bring
the authors Of the Gibson county trou-
bles to justice were not the result of
Federal dictation." Its temper is al
together different from that of Grants
note to the Governor, which appears
among this mornings dispatches, and
In which the President manifests de-
termination to insist upon his absurd
theory of concurrent jurisdiction, %
despite Governor Browns protest
and with full knowledge of the fact
that our civil authorities are strenuous
ly endeavoring to have the laws of the
State properly enforced against all Of
tenders.

BUG JAMESON.

As the above named individual has ac-
quired some celebrity by his connection
with the Trenton tragedy, it may be Of in
terest to know something of his antece-
dents.
This place was formerly afflicted by his
residence here. While here he gained the
reputation generally Of being a thief and a
liar, and bore a general bad character.
his evidence at one time was diScredited
and thrown out of court. He left this
place under the following circumstances:
He was arrested on a charge of having dis
turbed public worship, but by some means
made his escape, since which time he has
given this place a wide berth.
He was one Of the ten negroes who
made their escape from the mob which
took them from the Trenton Jail. He is
now reported to be in Jail at Memphis, and
it is understood to be upon his testimony
that the recent arrests by United States
troops in Gibson county have been made.
j more worthless, or vicious negro could
scarcely be found anywhere; at least this
is his general character here.

the STORY OF An ALBUM.

When Jefferson Davis was confined in
Fortress Monroe one ID. +. Moore, an
Iowa soldier, who was one Of the guard,
stole from him Photographic album con-
tanning family photographs and those Of
his staff, and distinguished COnfederates
with him. Although every effort was
made it could not be discovered at the
time who had taken the book. Some
time in August last, ID. Z. Moore
mailed a letter from Waterloo, Iowa,
to some person at Erie, Pa, offering the
album for sale, fixing the price at fOrty-five
dollars, this being the price Moore claimed
Barnum had on previous occasion offered
him. The Erie man instead of responding
TO Moore, sent the letter TO Jefferson Davis,
who wrote to ex-senator George w. Jones,
of Iowa, at Dubuque, sending him the let
ter, and asking him TO get the album If
possible. Moore was found in Iowa cOun-
ty, and the album seized from him under a
writ Of replevinby an officer. The trial as
TO the right Of the property was postponed,
IN order to give Mr.. Davis time to furnish
the evidence of his right and title to it.

HoRsEwHIpPINe a PRINCE.

A son of the Grand Duke of Oldenbarg
recently arrived at a railway station in
Dresden, to which a restaurant is attached.
His Highness entered the room to get his
lunch with the crowd, and the idea OF
placing himself upon a level with the COM
mon herd not COMFORTING with his Princely
dignity, he vaulted upon the lunch counter
and sat down upon it, much 10 the disgust
of the common herd who were standing up.
A waiter requested him to sit down, but
His Serene Highness refused, and ordered
his lunch served. The waiter thereupOn
informed the proprietor of the antics Of
this extraordinary customer, who was sit
ting on the place intended for
the provisions. The proprietor came
round in front and demonstrated with
His HighneSs, but in vain. He then or
dered him to get down or he would take
him down. His Higness notified the pro-
prietOr If he gave him any more Of his jaw
he would slap his face. The latter not
having the fear Of princes before his eyes,
used his jaw all the more vigorously, and
His HighneSs, true to his word, did rebuke
the vulgar BOniface by Shaping him. This
was all that BOnifaee had been waiting
for. He qnietly removed his coat, and pro-
ceeded to disturb His Highness in his en-
joyment CT G9Ruelichkeit, and did it in a
manner which was at once frisch, trei, ind
frOh. He seized by him by the coat collar,
and down came the House Of Olden-
burg pell-men to the floor. Then
he went for the scion Of the
ducal house, and gave him a first
class, old-fashioned, democratic pummel-
ing, without regard TO pedigree, or previous
condition, or possible consequences. After
the drubbing had proceeded far enough for
immediate purposes of Improvement, 1he
police were called in, who with some diff
Guilty rescued what was left Of His High
ness in a condition which, to say the least,
was not favorable TO his sitting down upon
| lunell-counteIs. The punishment was suf-
fieiently stern 10 prevent the repetition OF
the indecOrum. Time was when the ac-
tion of BOniface would have been sacrilegi-
Gus, and to have laid hand upon the
Lords anOinted, even If he persisted in
dancing a hOrn-pipe in the krOut-barrel,
would have been high treason That time
has passed. The Berlin papers took the
matter up and discussed il, and all arrived
at the verdict, 'Served him right"

SMALL, thin, and frail i'm body, GuizOt
appeared thinner from the habit of wearing
a long brown frOck coat. In the lapel of
his coat he wore the ribbon Of the Legion
d'HOnneur. His hair was Silyered, the face
full of life and brightness, with dark gray
eyes that looked earnestly at you from un-
der his black velvet skull cap. A dry man
of earnest mind, keen rather than wide,
without the slightest trace of humor. An
admirable face, sculptured by time, that
had followed wrinkles there, and stamped
it with an Incompatible expression of
strength and energy. 1t was impossible TO
avoid a respectful establishment at the sight
of that long, thin, austere head, that dOmi-
neeriug look, that small, severe, and dis
dainful mouth. His voice was superb,
harsh and biting, accentuating words and
giving them an extraordinary force. His
gestures, hard and commanding; his hand,
striking at almost regular intervals on the
desk, to a certain extent mOdulated the
sentence and deePened the impression upon
the mind. Such was the great man who
has passed away, after a lifetime spent in
useful toll.

Great Storm In Town and IIIinoL..

CHICAGO, Sept. l9.-SpecialS To tie
Tribune from Davenport and Dubuque,
Iowa, and Rock Island, ILL.,, give accounts
of terrible storm, rain and wind in these
localities last evening, by which great
amount of property was destroyed and dam
aged at all these places. Houses were
unroOfed, walls blown down and fences
scattered, while cellars and Easements were
filled with water. The whole surrounding
country was flooded. At Rock Island the
First Presbyterian Church was nearly de-
stroyed, portion of the roof being lifted
up and dropped through into the base
ment, carrying with 1t the organ, pulpit
and floor, and upon these a
great portion of the walls
fell. 1t is impossible to estimate the
amount Of damage, but it will b. many
thousand dollars. During the storm a
freight train on the Illinois Central Rail-
road, when three miles west of Dunleith,
ran into break caused by the flood. The
engine was completely wrecked. The en-
gineer, fireman and a brakemeu were
buried beneath the ruins. They were
taken out horribly scalded and bruised. The
brakeman died soon after, and the other
two are lying in a critical condition.

SINCE the detection of the Gibson coun-
" iail-breakers and murderers, have
learned from the best authority that a
large proportion of them are men who,
from the close of the war to the time
of the passage of the Civil Rights bill
in the Senate, affiliated with the Radi-
cal party of Tennessee. Their politi-
cal records were, of course, notorious,
and the stripe to which they belonged
was known the instant they were ex-
posed. If, therefore, the Democracy
must shoulder any responsibility for
the outrage, there is an equal share to
buckle on the back Of Radicalism. :

THE SMITH COUNTY KU.KLux.

hartsNllie Sentnel, sept. Is.
In our columns this week will be found
two proclamatiOns by the Governor for the
arrest and conviction Of the men concerned
in the murder of Dick Mckinley, cOlOred,
in Putnam county, few weeks ago, and
the band who took Hall out Of COOkeville
Jail and killed him. From what We could
learn in q visit to the upper country a. the
beginning Of this week, the killing of Hall
might have been avoided had the jailer at
CoOkeyille eVinced anything like a deter
minatiOn to hold his prisoners. He had
timely warming that the band were coming
to rescue the prisoners and he might, it
seems to us. have prepared 10 resist them
or have summoned enough citizens
to have kept the band al hay. The
man Bush, who was in Carthage
Jail. has been removed TO Nashville for safe
keeping. Sheriff Conder, Of Smith county,
who is a most efficient officer, and will eK-
ecute his duty at all personal risks, had the
Jail guarded while Bush was i'm custody,
and is leaving no stoIie untITned TO un-
earth tie remainder of the band. On
Tuesday night about 10 O'Clock, a citizen
named Hair came into Carthage, seeking
Sheriff COrder to inform him of the hiding
place of the band and to Get him 10 head a
posse to 20 after them. Their place OF con-
cealment is a cave which opens out in a
dense wood near Chestnut Mound. 1t
was discovered by watching one of their
friends carry in a supply of whisky, and it
is stated that they have plenty Of provisions
to stand long siege, and good supply
of ammunition. Every man in the
neighborhoOd who has taken part in the
endeavor 10 detect them has been warned,
and several of them hide in the woods. The
law-abiding citizens have been worked up
to such a pitch that the band will be ul-
earthed before long if they are rot under
arrest now.
The descriptions given in the Governors
proclamation are a little imperfect Draper
is six feet high, instead of six feet four, and
his whiskers are rather sandy, his hair
brown. Bush IS scarcely six feet, and the
partially closed eye is a noticeable peculi-
arIty. In Apple a very Distinguishing
character of the eye is not described. He
has full eyes, which look out sideways and
downward.

A WOMAN ON NATTRE.s FAVORITEs'

llr. AntOinette Blackwell says:
Among the beings of lower type, plant
and animal, all the more recent Observa-
tiOnS indicate that nature herself system
atically favOTs the females-the mothers Of
the destined rac,-s. Natures StUrliest buds
and her best fed butterflies belong 10 this
sex; her female spiders are large enough 10
eat up a score of her little males; seine of
her mother fishes might parody the nursery
song, II have a little husband, no bigger
than my thumb Natural selection,
whether the working ont of intelligent de-
sign or otherwise, would make this result
inevitable. We might expect that the hell
ter bee could be nOurished into the queen
mother. Ii required to Judge dpriOIi, We
should decide, if there is no predetermiua-
tion OF sex, that the best fed embryOs would
most readily become female, since. the one
special fact in the female organism is the
innate tendency TO manufacture, and, with
in certain limits, to store up reserved force
for future needs of offspring.

On the trial, although the negroes

five years, and that he was at their
house at the time of the affair, they
were unable to identify him. When
