FREAK OF LIGHTNING About three miles
east of ElizabethtowD, Pa, on Wednesday,
20th inst. during terrific thunder gust, the
lightning struck white oak tree, SCATTERING it
10 a remarkable manner. The tree was about
thirty inches in diameter and twenty feet clear
to the first limb. The lightning struck the tree
about the lower limb, tearing the entire solid
tough oak butt into shrads like broom corn,
tearing it completely out of the roots, and plow
ing up the ground for distance of sixteen feet
around the tree. The top of the tree was in
tact and contains bout two cords Of wood. and
fell directly into the hole where the stump
stood. The splinters and debris were scatter
ed around, covering the ground for distance
Of fifty yards The most singular part is that
the top should fall directl where the stump
had been in such position as if planted there.
Que part of the trunk, weighing about two
hundred and fifty pounds, was thrown dis
lance of seventy five yards from the scene of
operations. Many people visited the spot from
all around the country to see the terrible force
Of lightning.

Another Eruption in Knoxville

Another Eruption in Knoxville.
The mission of the Banner now
seems to be to write up Scott as the
leader of the colored hosts in Ten
nessee, ignoring Lowery Keeble,
Yardley, Levere, Garner, Shaw and
others who don't "sell out to those
who exhibit an unwillingness" to
allow defense of the race.-Knox
vile Chronicle.
The pitiful attempt to array the
colored people against "the Scots
just because they advocate the Civil
Rights Bill, is worthy of these high
toned(D, gentlemanly(D and talented
editors of the Chronicle The SCOTS
do not aspire to, nor pretend to be
leaders; they recognize such men as
"Lowery, Keeble, Yardley, Leyere,
Shaw, Garner" and others whom the
Chronicle men can't buy, as the
leaders of the colored race in Ten.
nessee, and they prefer to follow such
leaders in the advocacy of the equal
political and civil freedom of the race,
rather than follow the leaders of the
Chronicle, who are opposed to the
Civil Rights Bill. And whatever the
colored peoples opinion of the SCOTS
may be, they approve the SCOTS ad-
vocacy of the Civil Rights Bill, and
condemn the Chronicles silence on
the subject Why DON'T the Chroni-
Gle define it's position on this measure
of justice? Is it because they are
afraid that their advocacy of the Bill
will cause them to lose the patronage
of the enemies of the colored race
Is it possible that these honest and
fearless denouncers of bribery and
treachery are prevented by money
considerations from advocating the
best interest OF the colored race? Is
it possible that the editors of the
Chronicle are opposed to the Civil
Rights Bill from principle, or are
they "waiting to see which card wins
so as to take the popular side? The
Chronicle says the SCOTS deserted
the colored people in 1868, by merely
advocating Universal Suffrage; what
has the Chronicle done in 1874 when
it refuses to advocate the Civil Rights
Bill?

Announcements this Week.


The announcement OF j. A Greer,
as candidate for re election to the
Office of County Court Clerk, may be
seen in this issue. When Mr.. Greer
was elected to the Office two years
ago, it was supposed he would hold
the regular four years term, but il
now seems TO be the opinion Of our
best lawyers, that under the provis-
ions OF the new Constitution, which
had but short time previous came
into force, he could only have been
elected to ell out Mr.. fuckers unex-
pired time.
Jim has proved himself an excellent
officer in that position-attentive
industrious, honest, and thoroughly
competent, as all, without regard to
party affiliations, who have had bust
ness to transact in that Office will
testify, and as the records abundantly
prove.

ANOTHER VOLCANO!
Erupted Last Wednesday {!
Nobody Scared or Hurt ~!

Last Wednesday the Knoxville
Chronicle eruptedI The internal
fires of the old concern burst forth,
belching smoke, but no flames.
The difference between the editors
of the Chronicle and myself is sim,
ply this: They are opposed to the
passage Of the Civil Rights Bill,
while / am in favor of tat least
they have never advocated the bill by
even a single line in their editorial
columns, and have inserted articles
against the bill without saying word
in its defense. The eruption in the
Chronicle says that "these Scots"
are opposed to the rights of the
colored race! Poor fellows! They
have got it pretty bad! 1 wonder If
some of the scientific chaps and pro-
fessors who have been hanging
around Bald Mountain couldn't be
induced to visit Knoxville and inter
view the Volcano in the Chronicle
officei We, "the Scots, will donate
the $500 given us by Senter, and the
$40 acres of land and a mule"-or
Republican heritage-to these dis
tinguishsd scientists, il they will
discover where the Chronicle stands
on the Civil Rights Bill. We never
denied supporting Senter and yet
the Chronicle "astonishes the ma
tives" by publishing the startling
',e,os that we, ''the SCOTS, supported
Senter in 1868 !l!llll!!! wonder
if they got that news by telegraph
The management of large daily
like the Chronicle must be a most
stupendous affair !! The crust on
the pinnacle of this newly discovered
volcano is "too thin!"
The trouble with the Chronicle is
this {: The colored people of this
Congressional District, and a large
and respectable body of the white
Republicans, support Hon. i. G.
Houk for Congress, which renders
the II C. desperate, having discover.
ed that IL cannot foist a cahdidate
upon the Republicans in Opposition
to Judge Houk. 1t is toe thin"
gentlemen of the Chronicle; your
defeat in this. instance is already
assured for Houk will be elected,
your influence to the contrary not
withstanding.
1t is perfectly useless for any one
to- answer such INSCRIPTIONS and
malignant writer's as the editors OF
the Knoxville Chronicle ; they stool
to anything vulgar, low aud mean.
from the fact that they haze not til,
brains nor the masnanimity to an.
swer arguments.
