A Colnred nehating Society.

President Lincoln had an inexhaustible fund
of anecdotes, which he used to good purpose in
illustrating his views Of grave public questions.
To pro-savery man who opposed emancipa-
ton because the slave had no sense, Mr. Lincoln
told this story to show that by nature they were
| sstute reasoners. He said
when was a small boy, living in Kentucky,
some of the more intelligent slaves in our neigh
horhood started q sort Of dialectic association for
debating questions of interest TO them; and /
once attended one of their periodical meetings,
upon which occasion the folowingwas enunciated
as the subject for discussion If n certain hen
lays ten eggs, and q different hen sits upon and
matches out those eggs, which of the two fowls
is entitled to the maternity of the chickens
The meeting was duly organized, and the sub
Jet most thoroughly canvassed IN all its lmagln-
able phases and hearings, until the pros and cons
had been well exhausted, and the presiding
officer was about rendering his decision upon the
merits Of the argument, when an Anticipated IN
dividval who was seated upon barrel in re-
mote corner of the apartment suddenly rose to
his feet, and, in q tremendous and cracked but
ludicrously solemn intonation of voice, pro-
pounded the.folowing startling interrogGtory
But, Mise President. s'posin dem eggs what
dat dar ole hen lay, an de obdenticsl eggs what
dat dar udder hen she hotch out, be duck eggs
Den dis niger like for TO know, eff de char
Place who am de mudder OBJ de chickens
" This at first seemed q poser TO the umpire,
but after moments hesitation he replied, Dat
venerable pusson, my ticker frien' Mis'ern
Jeemes, win Place fur to presume his bari, as de
duck eggs am not in de queschum fur dis
ebenin.F He then concluded in the following
words: De pedigree OBJ de fowl specie am
glnrally monstrous onsartin, and de ticker
birds what de sie:y been cussin' on dis kashun
am periently more onsartiner nur de ginrslty
OBJ de hen genus. Maby dis yer chicken got
ten :faders; den, sg' in, msby SO he hain't got
but one; but dat he hab two modder am, in de

Our Athens Letter.

ATHENS, TENN. April 49, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Our town was en-
livened to-day by the presence, in great
numbers, of 1.-The bone and sinewn of the
county, drawn hither, we presume, by the
Circuit Court, which met this morning
Judge Hoyl presiding, and in the interests
of the vast army Of aspirants for political
honors. This was the time appointed by
the Republican candidates for having their
case decided by council composed of two
friends each, of their selection from their
own districts. The result of which was
the selection of Columbus Witt, Esq, for
Sheriff; Rev. James H. Lowery for Trus-
tee; the contest for Tax Collector was mar
rowed down TO two out of the number
who offered themselves, viz: VIM. Buttram
and - Stanfield, of Riceville, and with
respect to them temporary election was
decided upon.
VIM. l.. Sliger and Lazarus Dodson are
spoken of as candidates for County Court
Clerk, and DR.. Hogue, of the lower end of
the county, and Samuel Henderson, Esq,
of this place, for Circuit Court Clerk, but
whether they will compromise it between
them, or leave it for the people to decide,
remains to be seen. ~

John and Mac,

During a session of the Territorial Leg
isature of Montana held several years
ogu a. measure ~rnS introduced which in
volved grave constitutional questions, as i:
seemed TO some. One fiery orator detained
quite freely against it, urging that it was
" clearly in opposition to the great princi-
Piles of Magma Charta which the brave
barons in days of old had wrested from
King John, a blessed result of a bloody
conflict Possibly all this was but bit of
fine talk not fully comprehended by the
speaker himself. Judge D, evidently
looking upon this daring fight of his col
league as a studied " sumner" rose imme-
diately TO reply, determined to show that
he for one was not to be overwhelmed by
high-sounding words Of obscure illusions.
Plunging at once in medals res, he de-
clared thatit was q matter of but the slight
est importance to him what might haye
been the opinions or principles of King
John and his man NI'Carty. They might
nave been very good and able men, but it
was high time for legislative bodies of Mon
tana to think and act for themselves.
Under the influence of the Judges elo-
quent effort, the measure was defeated.
John and Mac have done noble duty for a
long time, but at last their authority has
been boldly and successfully challenged. Our
Legislature has Indignantly repealed their
interference from this time on forever.
Let the dead past bury its dead. "-Edit-

Col. ThornbHrgh.

We had pleasant call yesterday from
Hon. J. NJ. Thornburgh, our present re.
preventative in Congress, who has been
spending few days among his constitu-
ents, the object Of his visit being to gather
information about the trade on the Ten
nessee river for the purpose of obtaining
appropriations for Improvement of the
navigation of that stream. We take occa-
sion TO say that CO.. ThoTnburgh has prov
en- himself 10 be an energetic, faithful,
Woodworking representative, always fully
alive and wide awake 10 the interest, not
only Of his own constituency but to those
Of others. These qualities, no less than his
achievements in the last canvass, entitle
him 10 the confidence and gratitude of the
Republican party, and place his claim for
reelection in a very favorable attitude.
Mr.. Thornburgh leaves this evening for
Washington Kingston valley NeDS.
