The New Customh0use-IOO,OO 900 Stran-
gers I'm the City.
CHICAGO, June -. The laying of the
corner stone Of the new Custom-house and
POStOtfice to-day, was witnessed by not less
than twenty thousand people gathered in
the immediate vicinity, while the number
of strangers i'll the city is estimated TO have
been as high as one hundred thousand.
The day was cloudleSs but the heat was in-
tolerable, and the participants in the pro
cessiOn suffered greatly. The procession
was however one of the most brilliant ever
seen here, not less than one hundred
societies of Knights Templars and other
Masonic bodies participating. The formal
ceremonies connected with the laying ofthe
cornerstone begun at 1:31 p. NJ, and were
conducted under the supervision and ac-
cording to the rites of the Masonic frater-
nifty, Grand Master James A. Hawley, of
Illinois, officiating and delivering a brief
Oration. Judge Blodgett, of the United
States District Court, performed that part
Of the ceremony originally delegated to
President Grant, who was unable 10 be
present. No serious accident is known to
have occurred during the day.

DAVIDSON COUNTY.

The people manifested an unusual
degree of interest in the primaries held
yesterday, such as this city and county
have not witnessed for years, andwhich
justifes the expectation Of practical re-
suits. The wire-pullers were out in
force, as might be expected, but the
list of delegates appointed, SO
far as we have the returns,
contains men of frmness who
understand the needs of the coun-
ty. and will not be turned aside in the
discharge of the duty imposed on them
by their fellow citizens. We need a
ticket composed of honest, competent
men, such as will commend itself to
Democratic voters with a force
that will preclude any prospect
for boilers. Every honest man does
not possess the peculiar qualification
needed for one or another Office. Hon.
esty cannot stand alone. In the same
way there are some men both honest
and amply competent who do not
favorably impress the popular
mind. All the elements of sue
cess should be carefully weighed,
because the Republicans are unit
against us, and our marginal majority
is small and uncertain. In 1872 Grant
pOlled 5,647 votes in this county, while
Greeley received 5,656. In the Con-
gressional race Maynard polled 5,OSS,
while Cheatham and johnson COM
bined received 5, ,442. We want good
ticket. that viii go through. In short,
We see k to defeat the civilrights ticket.

MATT CARPENTER.
His Defense of the Bill TO MuzzIe the
Press.

EESNSs
NEW YORK, June 24.-SenatOr Carpen-
ter publishes here this morning, letter
about what has been styled Carpenters gag
law, and says an accurate statement in re-
gard to this matter will satisfy every jour
naliSt who respects the truth, and will di
miniSh the force of the vituperation uttered
by those of the profession who 10 not.
In the course of a review of the law
and its several sections, the Senator
writes ''why general laws should
not apply to the District Of Columbia
as well as to Territories is not perceived, or
why any capitalist of New York or Boston,
CARRYING on business by an agent in this
District, should have greater objection TO
coming here for trial than tOgOing to Idaho
or Wyoming is not very apparent. Butthe
great objection is that it applies to publish
ers as well as to the merchants, mechanics,
manufacturers. and all other business men.
Now to this IIreply, that the bill has no spe-
cial reference to the publishers. IL deals
with all men alike, and they who make
this objection ought to show upon what
grounds publishers can claim exemption
from laws which bind everybody else. They
seem to think that they may be sued in
Washington for libel. Well why should
they not be, if they commit that injury by
an agent in this District? The law OF
libel is no more unfavoJable TO the press
tnan the statute against larceny is Un-
friendly TO the people. The one perplexes
thieves, the other liars, but neither is
terror to honest men, and this bill is no
more injurious to a publisher than every
law must be which looks TO the impartial
administration of justice. While the bill
was under consideration in the Senate,
a Democratic Senator moved 10 amend the
llth section, so that it should not apply to
any suit for slander. Here the proposition
was directly presented to exempt one class
of citizens from the operation OF general
law, and declare immunity in favor of libel
and slander, and every Democrat who voted
upon the proposition sustained if. The
reason for this is quite obvious. The chief
occupation of the Democratic press to-day
is to compose and publish libels upon the
party in power.

CLEVELAND, o., June 24.-The wealth.
er to-day was cool and pleasant. The
number of strangers in the city is larger
than at any time during the week. The
day was spent by the visitors in sight-see-
ing, excursions on the lake, etc. This
evening the first grand concert of the Saen-
gerfeSt was given. The aiten-
dance was quite large, many
people being turned away for want of
nom. 1t is estimated that 5000 spectators
were present. The following is the pro-
gramme: Overture to LeOnOre No. >, from
Beethoven, by Bergman's orchestra; Psalm
18th, the heavens proclaim, from Lisst,

TENNESSEE CROP NOTES.

The GdiHeSbOrO Ne1cS says: Wheat is
being harvested in this section, and is said
to be better than for years past. Rye is
reasonably good, but there was but little
sOwn. Oats are much improved in ap-
pearance since the late rains and promise a
fair yield. The corn crop promises much
better than two weeks ago. In Jackson,
Clay and Putnam corn now looks WELL
though small for the time of year. Good
rains have fallen in portions of Smith in
the last few days, and crop prospects are
much improved in the favored localities,
but we are not informed whether the rains
extend throughout the county or not.
The Trenton Ne,cS SAYS of the crops in
Gibson county: The crops of the preseut
season are late, but with this exception,
the prospect is very encouraging. Corn
looks unusually well every where. Much
of the cotton did not come up during tie
dry spell, but now, since the refreshing
showers that have fallen during the past
week, it is all coming up and promises to
grow rapidly. That which was planted
very early or deep enough to be unaffected
by the drOuth, is Of goods and color. We
heard of squares being noticed by some Of
our farmers nearly three weeks ago, which is
fully as early as they generally appear,
if not a little earlier. OLe very favorable
feature in the case is, that the farmers are
fully up with their crops and the ground is
in fine working and growing condition.
The wheat crop is very good, and is now
being harvested. A much larger acreage
was sown in wheat last fall than usual.
Oats are needing rain very much; but
where farmers have paid proper attention
TO the raising Of grasses, deficiency i'm the
oat crop will not be seriously felt.
The U'OymeSbOrO Citizen reports the cot
ton in portion Of Wayne county as unu-
sually promising. Corn, though small for
the time in the year, has good color, and
the crops are generally in fine condition.
Wheat has been harvested, and was much
better than an average crop. The Oat crop
is inferior. Fruit is plentiful.

A CHILD KILLED-NAN SERIOUSLY
INgTRED
Knoxvine ChronIeIe, June 2

Knoxville Chronicle, June =.
On Saturday Mr.. Duggar, who lives in
the 10Th district, near TrOtter's bridge,
Beaver creek, lost his youngest child by an
unfortunate accident. The mother of the
child left it on pallet made on the floor
near the door, while she made call at
Isaac Duggar's cher sOn's) house. The
door was large and new, and had never
been hung on hinges, and during hei alb
sence the wind blew it down upon the
child, killing it instantly. The grief of
the parents can better be imagined than
described.
On Saturday Mr.. Joseph Alexander, a
wel-kmown and highly respected citizen Of
the Sixteenth district met with an accident
which will likely terminate his earthly ex-
istence. He was climbing over a fence
with plOw on his shoulder, when he lost
his balance, and fell, the pillow striking him
in the back part Of his neck, iDjuring the
spinal marrow. He was paralyzed from
his shoulder down, and the physician, DR..
X. Sneed, of Strawberry Plains, gives bat
little hope Of his recovery. Mr.. Alexander
was a man we'll liked in his neighbOrhOod,
and a member in good standing Of the Gale
donia Presbyterian Church.

PERSIA.

LONDON, June 24.-The relations be-
tween Turkey and Persia are not friendly.
1t appears that the Persian Government
has refused to return 10 Turkish territory a
tribe of 1900 families which has been sub
ject to the Porte, but escaped across the
Persian frontier, and that a number of
Turks have been seized and maltreated by
a band Of Persian Pilgrims. The Turkish
Government threatens force unless Persia
gives up the persons who have abused its
subjects and surrenders the revolving tribe.
