State Farmers Association, at Decatur,
on the 18th day Of December, 1873, that
through the departure from the primary

prudent exercise of the highest preroga-

we, the farmers of Illinois, as we'll as 9TH
er industrial classes, have, by their past
action, acquiesced in system OF class leg
islatiou which makes the great majority
slayishly subseryient to minority: that
this condition is clearly traceable to the
fostering protection which has been ac-
corded by our legislative bodies both state
and national, to the financial, mechanical,
manufacturing, and Transporting interests,
enabling them to accumulate an undue
proportion of the national wealth, and en-
couraging them in the exercise of the cor
rupting influences which have become as

seven federal soldiers, that spot of ground

there. But it was no part of the public or

and voluntary act of seven men who had
served on the federal side-Dr.J. w. Morey,
MIC. Follett, H. Karstens, Henri Wells, L. B.
Mapes, Courts and Thomas Mills. These
men were actuated by the feeling of true
soldiers. Two OF them had lost each leg
and another an arm in the Federal service,
and they voluntarily strewed flowers on
the silent graves of their dead foes. They
knew that those on whose graves they laid
fresh flowers were their own btave, patriot

defend the Union now made perpetual.
They may have thought, too, that, with
the dead over in the enclosed ground, they

He Does Not Propose 10 Address the
Gran-ers-what He Knows About
That Compromise-Grant and the
Veto.
Ex-President johnson arrived in the city
early yesterday morning and is registered
at the Maxwell House. He came direct
from Greeneville, East Tennessee, and in
formed arepOrter of this paper that it was
his intention to remain in the city a few
days. Although he was complaining of a
severe headache, yet his appearance indicat-
ed that he was enjoying general good health.
In response 10 question prOpOunded by
the reporter in regard to the published state
ment that he would deliver an address to
the Patrons of Husbandry in this city on
the 18th inst, he said that no such arrange
'ment had been made, or, if so, he knew
nothing of it.
Mr.. johnson was asked if he had seen
the compromise" programme ventilated
by the papers of the Safe, in which it was
arranged that he was to be the next United
States Senator and Gen. Cheatham, Gov
ernOr. He replied that he had, but that
the statement was certainly made without
his authority and without his knowledge
of any such an arrangement. Some two
weeks ago, Mr.. johnson was in Washing
ton and left only a day or two before
President Grant vetoed the currency bill.
He remarked that at one time it was the
general impression that the President
would sign the bill, but for reasons best
known to those who were behind the cur
tain his mind was changed.
Mr.. johnson visited Judge Milligan dur
ing the latter's illness, which terminated
in his death, and attended his funeral at
Greeneville. A number of Mr.. Johnson's
friends, having learned that he was in the
city, visited him at the hotel yesterday.

CHANCELLOR COOPER.
Resolutions Adopted by the Lebanon
Bar-A Just Tribute TO the Great

Resolutions Adopted by the Lebanon
Bar-A Just Tribute TO the Great
Jurist.
From the Lebanon Herald, April %.
Whereas, Hon. William F. Cooper. from
Nashville, Chancellor of Davidson county.
has been holding a term of the Chancery
Court Of Wilson county, at Lebanon, Tenn,
by interchange with Hon. Charles G. Smith,
and we, the bar of Lebanon, being DESTROYS
of giving an expression of the high estimate
in which we hold the distinguished gentle
man. as lawyer, chancellor and man, dc
now resolve:
l. That, in our judgment, Judge VIII
liam F. Cooper is alike an honor and an
ornament to the bench and bar of Tennes-
see, and that as q chancellor and judge lie
has no superior in the State, and deserves
TO take rank with the brightest and most
accomplished names in the judicial history
of the country.
=. His pure and unquestioned private life
renders him an eXempiar to all the prOfes-
sion, that cannot be too highly commended
while his impartial and suave manner on
the bench, toward all the members of the
bar. commend him as a model Judge.
3. We would regard it a public miSfor-
tune that the services of such a man, as
chancellor and judge, should be lost to the
bar and bench of the State; and we do most
heartily commend him, as in every respect
worthy of confidence.
4. Resolved, that these resolutions be
printed in the Lebanon Herald, and that
we ask permission TO spread them on the
Minutes of the Court, and that Judge Coop
er be furnished with a copy of the same.

NO HOPE.
Kelley, the Condemned Murderer,
Visited by Gov. Brown.

" Wv.
Bill Kelley, who is sentenced to be
hanged in this city next Friday, was visited
by Gov. Brown, at his urgent request, yes
terday morning. Kelley had been led to
believe that if he would make statement
Of his case for publication, he would proba-
bly be able to secure a pardon from the
Governor. 1t was a cruel artifice to prac-
tice upon a human being who had but a
few weeks to live, but it had the effect of
completely demOralizing Kelley, who has,
since that time, been in fever Of
impatience TO see Gov. Brown in order to
make a final appeal for his life, though he
had previously spent his time in praying,
and reading his Bible, and had frequently
asserted that he was fully prepared to die.
The visit of the Governor was made at
nine O'Clock, and Kelley begged and iRi-
plOred him to save him, using all the ar
guments possible to one occupying his ter
rible position. The kind heart of Gov.
Brown was touched by Kelley's appeals,
but he was compelled to refuse them, say
ing that he had fully acquainted himself
with all the particulars in his case, that
his ofiense was of the most heinous charac-
ter, that he had no hope in this life, and
wanted him to fix his thOughtS'upon the life
beyond.
Kelley was very much depressed at the
result of the interview upon which he had
counted so much, and will probably refuse
to see visitors from this time on. Since
his conviction, scores of colored people
have visited the Jail to see him. Most of
whom are actuated entirely by feelings of
idle curiosity.

The FarrnerConcerf-

An appreciative audience welcomed Mr..
Henry Farmer and his associates at the
Opera-house last night.
Messrs. Farmer and Stewart well merited
the applause they received at the conclusion
of each selection. Mr.. Farmers voice has
the full register for a baritone and with
continued culture will secure him marked
success as a vocalist. Mr.. Stewart did his
best last night, his voice being in superb
condition, and with no apparent effort he
scaled the highest notes.
Mrs. Farmer was decidedly a favorite
and fully sustained the reputation which
she enjoys throughout the South.
Miss Cooper gave ballad with excellent
effect.
in the piano duet, Miss Weber and Mr.
Pratt caught the true poetry of GOttschalk's
composition, and in some of the passages
of tender melancholy, their performance
left nothing to be desired.
The second Farmer concert will be given
tonight.

popular favor for support, are ike delicate
plants that require gentle handling and
tender culture. Public school officers can
not maintain theirschOolst through law suits.
Should the civil rights bill become a law.
applicable to public schools, the same
spirit that prompted the demands of the
CJlored State Convention would demand
the enforcement of the law in the United
States Courts; and even should school Of
ficers be willing to subject themselves to
prosecution, The stsnehest friends of pop-
ular education, would abandon ali hone of
success under such endorsements; for the
present school system in Tennessee is not a
thingof spontaneous growth. 1t is the result
of much earnest effort, and there are vet
difficulties in its way. While is has made
satisfactory progress and obtained a foot
hold from which it may hope to make still
further advances, if let alone, it could not
abide the wasting process of protracted ju
dicial proceedings and live. Before final
decision could be reached, if even adverse
to the civil rights law, the effect of the law
would have been felt in such a prostratIon
of the system that it would require years
probably to resuscitate it.

mend and pursue IN tine event OF the passage
of the civil rights bill with the school
feature?'
Supt. F." Sufficient unto the day is the
eyil thereof Such bill is not yet law,
and hope will not be. Although the dis
patches of this morning indicate that
the Senate, in Committee of the
Whole, agreed 10 report the bill as
returned by the Judiciary Committee
(Which, understand, includes the school
feature), yet the latest private advices from
Washington give reason for hope that that
feature will be stricken out. At any rate,
| will not now assume that a Congress Sc
ayowedly favorable to the cause of popular
education will deliberately deal so deadly a
blow at every public school system in tire
Southern States, as the passage of such a
measure would be.
