THE melancholy expires ion late
ly observed on Andrew Johnson's face
is said to be due to a dsordered consti-
tuition.
THE Memphis appeal and Shell
byville Commercial solemnly warn the
Democratic party to engage in no more
Greeley foolishness.
THE Knoxville Press and Her.
aid, the central organ of East Tonnes
see Democracy, still refuses to tell the
people where it stands on the Turbett
Issue question.
THE Chicago Tribune says our
letter has used up Andy Johnson"
and that the Democratic editors who
have euiogized that Senatorial speech
of his are "in comatose state"
The editorial upon "Grangers
and Railroads." published elsewhere,
is from the New York Tribune, pa
per which will certainly not be ac-
cused Of unfrendlineSs to farmers.
Since Gordon and Lamar's visit
to New Hampshire, and the result,
Democratic papers have suddenly dis
covered that it will not do to run a
representative Southern Democrat on
the Presidential ticket in 1876. How
sad.
THE Gubernatorial contest in
Kentucky will be lively this summer
Senator McCreary wanted to be Gov
ernor, but the Changers have taken ~
man named Williams, and the pros
poets are that they will put him
through.
1t is gratifying to every patriot,
TO see affairs in Louisiana assuming a
pacific state. The internal strife which
has so unhappily afflicted that State
and retarded her PROCESS for years
seems to have suddenly given way and
peace reigns.
Two more victims to the thirst
for knowledge. Three men went up
in a balloon from Paris yesterday,
ascending to the height of 5000 meters
or over $1,000 feet. Two of them
suffocated, and the other is dangerous.
ly i'll, as will be seen by our dispatches
The Press and Herald denies our
statement relative to the cost of the
new school house in North Knoxville.
We only have to say that the state
ment was made upon the authority Of
well-known and reliable gentleman.
and one who has had large experience

represent no one.
The latest Intelligence from the
Georgia Democratic Bell-Hill conven-
ton is to the effect that three hundred
and twenty eight ballots had been
taken, Bell Leading Hill about three
votes. \ fresh supply Of beer had been
ordered, and both parties swear they
will stick till May.
The Union and american al
ludes to Gov. Brownlow's recent letter
to the Tribune reviewing Andrew
Johnson's speech in the Senate, and
criticises it in the spirit we would nat
urally expect from such an intensely
bourbon sheet, But it publishes the
letter in full, thus giving our side of
the case as well as its own. Hence we
have no complaint to make.
For once we heartily agree with
a large number of our Democratic
contemporaries. They say positively
that no other Greeley movements will
be tolerated. They will take their
ticket straight" next time or not at
all. They want the pure Democratic
article and no compromise, halfway
sort Of ticket. We trust they will have
lust such ticket. Give US a plain
representative Democrat and we know
just where to find him. But will they
dot?
The whole State of Georgia is
convulsed over a special congressional
election to be held in the Ninth Dis
trict on the 4th of next month. A con-
vention has been in session at Gaines
vile for the past few days, and over
three hundred ballots had been taken
at the last intelligence, without a
nomination. The contest is between
Ben. II. Hill and Mr.. Bell, with the
chances in favor of the latter. The
Hill men, however, swear they will
stick to him.
