At stated meeting held by Fredonia
Lodge, No. 225, July 4th, 1874, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were

much intense suffering, departed this life
on the morning of the 18th of June, 1874 at
his residence in GAINESVILLE, Tenn.
Much might be said i'll commentator of
Brother McCauley, for in all the relations
of life he sustained a character unsullied
As son, friend, husband and citizen, he
filled the measured of man If fulsome
enlOgy were our purpose. we could Fl ii pages
with his noble acts and generous deeds.
Our Brother met and fought the enemy
manfGlly, and fell with his face to the foe.
His mortality yielded, but his spirit has
taken refuge in the city of the Everything
God, TO whose will we bow submissively.
he was initiated, passed and raised in
and was one OF the charter members of
Fredonia Lodge, No. DDS, which was organi-
zed in 1851, and no one did more to build
up said Lodge than he.
While quite young he professed religion
and Joined the Methodist E. Church, South
of which Church he died a member in full
fellowship. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That In the death of Brother
his brother and sisters, kind and affec-
tionate brother; his wife, loving and de-
voted husband; Fredonia Lodge, one of its
brightest and best members; and the world
an upright and useful citizen.
Resolved, That we tender our coincidence

reaved brother and sisters, commencing
them to the care of Him 'who wounds to
heal"
Resolved, That the thanks of this Lodge

THE prospect for a brush with the
northwestern Indians, is quite fatter-
ing. The red men are aware that the
quakcrs are nOn-eombatants and feel
encouraged by that fact to see how
many white sealps they can take with
impunity. They are also aware that the
bulk of the federal army is engaged in
safeguarding white men and watching
ku-klux and this is additional en-
eouracement to enter the war-path.

THE Memphis Ledger informs us
that the Radicals in that city, are play
ing the same game that is inaugurated
here-selecting their candidates from

already in the field. The motive is
transparent, yet their attended victims

THOSE who exult over the assumed
death of the Civil Rights Bill, are
more sanguine than philosophical in
their conclusions. The Radicals have
never failed to consummate any iniquily
which their devlish malice, or lawless
ambition has concocted. The bill has
been postponed, not defeated, and I'M
less its advocates are frightened by an
overwhelming popular Indignation ex-
pressed at the approaching fall cleo
tons, it will become law, SO far as
Congress is concerned. Grant may
veto it, not from principle, but to win
over the South to his third term
scheme. For one, we would rather
endure, for time, the evils of that
bill, than be saddled with a king of
Grants cGlibre.

We publish on first page, an article
from the Gallatin Examiner, urging
the importance of bringing out the
best men in the State, to fill the halls
of the Legislature. The times de-
mand it, and the people have the right
to claim the services of those who are
gifted with the needed wisdom to ad-
minister their governmental affairs,
and it is the duty of any citizen pos
sessing the requisites for first class
law-giver to respond cheerfully to
such demand. We have men in this
county of widely known ability, who
can, without a serious sacrifice,
come to the relief of the State, in
its financial trouble. and impress
upon its policy the stamp of true
craftsmanship. In addition to such
important service, the tendency of SO
wise policy will be to produce har-
mony and relieve the community Of
the annoyance of a crowd of candi-
dates as we'll as remand those candi-
lidates to some useful employment
We have, in our eye, the right men
for the positions to be filed, but men,
ton no names lest it may be prema-
ture.

ACCOUNTS from many portions of
the North, indicate that the celebra-
tons of the glorious 4th, were destruc-
tive of life and property to consider
able extent, through the cheap agency
of fire crackers and Roman candles.
The day, when it fttingly belonged to
the calender of free institutions, was
dear to the heart of every patriot, but
it now gathers around it too many
melancholy associations to make its
former festivities anything but mock
cry, and an insult to the spirit of lib
erty which gave it birth.

THE negroes have no educational
resources except such as are derived
from taxes upon the property of the
whites, they have no employment that
is not furnished by the whites of the
South, and yet no dog, tied with a
string, follows his master more closely
than those same negroes follow their
carpetbag masters, in hunting down
the whites-the only true friends of
the colored race. The time is not dis
tant, though it may be too late, when
they will find out their mistake.

THE GENEVA A WARD.

There is a new version Of the recent action
of the Judiciary Committee upon this trouble
some subject, which is as follows:
There is a misapprehension with regard to
the action Of the House Committee on the
Judiciary on the Geneva Award bill re-
por; that the committee had decided that in
surance companies should not be reimbursed
is incorrect. The facts are these: There
were present Of the eleven members o. the
committee but seven. OF these seven a
ma Gritty voted, first, that the insurance COM
panies proving losses through the cruisers in
cluded in the Geneva award should be paid {;
second, that mutual insurance companies,
where they paid losses on account of these
cruisers, shall be reimbursed, and shall ac-
count for this reimbursement to the policy
holders third that increased war premiums
given after these cruisers put to sea shall be
paid. There was much difference of opinion
as regards the relative advantage of courts
and commission. The committee were q
tie between commission and a court when
MIR. Frye, OF Maine, changed his vote from a
commission to court, upon the condition
that the bill contain provisions which shall
guarantee that judgments shall be paid as
fast as rendered. The committee have not,
as yet, decided whether one single court shall
be chosen or whether all the United States
courts shall be given jurisdiction Of the sub.
ject. The only case presented by the bill is
whether insurance companies shall be paid in
the event of the proof Of loss. Upon this the
committee voted in the affirmative.
