Senator Brownlow's letter was then
read by Maj. Prosser, as follows:
LETTER FROM SENATOR BRowNLow.
Moi. 4. S. Prosser, Chairman of Re
publican State Executive Committee.
SIR have received your letter in
forming me that there will be held in
this ciiy to-morrow, Mass Meeting
of Republicans to give expression TO
to their opinions, relative to the re-
cent Insurrection in Louisiana, and
the platform adopted by the Repub.
lican State Convention at Chattanooga,
and asking me to write
a letter expressive of my
! opinions on the subjects named. l
comply with your request most cheer
/ fully, with the understanding that
| this meeting is in no wise connected
with the Convention which is to meet
! here tomorrow, to nominate candi-
date for Congress.
! President in suppressing the Rebellion
in Louisiana. Whatever may be
Kellogg's merits or dement's, whether
he be an honest man or a rascal, he
was the defdctO Governor of the State,
he had been recognized as such
repeatedly by the United States Gov
eminent and the successful effort to
overthrow him by force of arms was
clearly illegal and unconstitutional.
No party can sustain itself before the
American people, which endorses the
lawlessness of the Louisiana rebellion.
Not only has the President the right
to interfere to suppress such an insur-
rection as that which occurred in
Louisiana, but the law makes it his
duty to interfere for the protection OF
J all citizens of all colors in their
persons and political rights wherever
the local and municipal authorities are
unable or unwilling to give that pro-
lection.
J This brings me to the Chattanooga
convention and its platform.
l have carefully read that platform
and it is liable to but one construction
that is-opposition to the Civil Rights
Bill. From reading the Democratic
papers of Middle and West Tennessee,
! see lIldl lueN ldht lulS vie" VI luls
r platform. OF course | shall cordial-
ly support every candidate OF
} the Republican party for every
4 office, from the highest to the lowest
: who plants himself squarely upon this
: platform of hostility to the nefariou'
, so called Civil Rights Bill
Let all candidates of our party take
( an unequivocal position of hostility tC
? this measure, and they will largely
l contribute to defeat the abominablt
bill now before Congress and recovei
] the lost prestige of the Republican
l party, in all parts of Tennessee. With

always been true to various nomina-
tions of candidates for the many differ
ent Offices made by the party during the
last eight years, they have never tried
to bring themselves or their country
into undue distinction, 10y urging their
claims to the preference for the Candl-
dates to represent the three counties Of
Scott, Campbell and Union, jointly.
Neither have they contended TO such
an extent in the Senatorial District as
to breed discord in the Republican
ranks. But, on the contrary, the good
citizens have quietly submitted and
aid the will of the people be done.
We have not had Representative
elected in our county, for the last two
years, nor do we expect one in the
next two years, and we do not muir
muir, neither have we had the honor
and pleasure of furnishing to the Re

The Milwaukee Wisconsin Of the
18th inst, says: THE extraordinary
heat of the past week has undoubtedly
ripened every patch of corn in the
Northwest. If a frost should occur
to-night-of which there is no posi-
bility-the crop could not be Injured.
many farmers have already cat and
stacked their corn. The crop in Wiscon
sin. Iowa, and Minnesota will be very
much larger than in 1873, and We
think it no exaggeration to say tina,
the farmers will realize as much money
from the increased price on their corn
as they have lost on the decreased
price of their wheat

Leaf Mold az "a Manure.

Leaf mold is always recommended
by gardeners as the best earth in which
to propagate plants. And why? Be-
cause we find by burning leaves that
they produce richer ashes than wood
and contain a greater amount Of the
minerals than all plants take from the
soil. If leaf mold can not be procured
any good concentrated manure con-
tanning soluble phosphate Of lime
potash ,sulphate of lime and ammonia
mixed with good earth, will act rs a
propagation Of plants equally rs well,
and even better.

The Recovery Of France.

The latest financial and commercial stats.
tics, says Lord Lytton, are most encouraging
and bear testimony to the astonishing vitality
of the material resources Of France. The taxes
10 operation previous 10 the war actually pro-
duccd during the first nine months of 1878 a
quarter of Il million sterling more than in the
first uiue months OF 1872. More remarkable
still is the fact that the iureign commerce OF
France during the past year Is . per Ct great
or than during the year immediately preceding
the late war. ln 1850 II was represented by
4,50S millions of francs; IN 1878 by 5.52S MIL
lions. Some allowance must, OF course, be
made for the Increased price in many kinds OF
merchandise; but, at any rate, there Is re-
markable recupera,ive power, considering that
the figures for 1870 aud ISL are t. 23l millions
and 4,47S millions respectively, Lord Lytton
thinks that the Increase IN the amount Of bills
aud acceptauces III the Bank of France cannot
safely he attributed to purely commercial orr
gin. Tie cash balance, however, was on the 3O!h
Of October, 1878. 727 mlllions of francs, after
lending the State $50 millions 10 SPECIE SO that
if the amount of this loan were not deducted,
the cash 10 the Bank would be SO millions OF
francs IN excess of what 1t Was on the CORES
pondlng day Of the previous year The Bank
rate of discount Is only per cent, and the
premium on gold at Paris is ns!gn fcant.-
The most remarkable sign Of all, however,
is the enormous Increase in the amount 10
vested in the public funds by the provincial
population, which Is four times as much
as during the corresponding period Of 1872,
and forms, as Lord Lytton observes, Gu
rious Illustration of the small extent to
which the rural population invest in 10
dustrial enterprises. Similar results are afford
ed by the statistics Of the Import trade, though
to less extent than by those Of the export
trade. Ga the whole, Lord Lytton thinks the
general condition Of France so hourishlng as to
be matter of not only satisfaction, but OF sur
prise, considered IN connection with the recent
date and disastrous results OF year OF unSuc-
cessful war, followed BY foreign occupation and
internal disturbances = Lon}ot Times.
