Serenado.

There was quite an inducement to
serenaders to come out Wednesday
night, from'the fact that everything
was calm and clear, the moon, float
ed in the heavens like a pearly
barque, flooding the sleeping earth
with silvery brightness and beauty
At the hour of eleven we were gent
ly awakened to the soft, rich, strains
of music. The first band Of sere-
naders we did not recognize, but
who have our thanks /; the second
party we readily recognized as An
drew Rogers String Band. The
sweetness and excellence of the mus
ic made by these musicians won our
admiration. AS a violinist and
flutist, Andrew is hard to excel
Many thanks.

BROWNLOW VS.. JOHNSON.
what Democratic Newspapers Say
lErnm the Baltimore Sun

nat NGNHRhBNHA E"S
From the Baltimore SUM-
The x-Governor gives history of the
Tennessee case from his standpoint, in
which ex. President johnson, instead
of occupying the position of q defend
er of the constitution is made to app
pear In the role of attempting TO bully
and bribe the Legislature of u sovereign
State The entire letter Is bold and
aggressive, and should ex-President
johnson accept the gauge of battle SO
defiantly rendered, an unusually vigor-
Gus paper war may be looked for"
From the Ciarksville Tobacco Leaf:
I" Ex-senator Browplow is after Seua-
tor Johnson with large stick, about
his attack on him in his Louisiana
speech In denouncing each other,
each is pretty nearly right. Johnson
could say nothing too strong concern
ing Brownlow's tyrannic9l and lawless
government, aud Brownlow is strictly
correct in his legal assertions concerns
ing Johnson"
From the Memphis Public Ledger
On the first page of to>day's Ledqet
we reprint Brownlow's letter TO the
New York tribune la review OF johns
sons haraugue-or at least one partic-
ular portion of ton the Louisiana
resolution. While we do not indorse
Mr.. Brownlow'a politics, we indorse
what he has TO say about Johnson, for
he tells nothing but the truth. He
knows the man thoroughly of whom
he writes; served side by side with
him in all the dirty work which was
done ia Tennessee from the minute
that Johnson was made Military Gov
ernor until the Republicans kicked
4, - g fxf n
most irrepressible Impulse of his ma
ture, which is treachery That portion
of Brownlow's letter in which he
frantically uses the word "rebel" so
often is excnsable to some extent, for
he has always had a sort Of hydropho-
bia on that subject and can't well re-
cover Somebody connected with the
| Confederate army put Brownlow in
Jail at Knoxville in the early part of
the war, and he has never forgiven 1t.
| Although an eX-minister of the Cos
| pei he is not of as tranquil, Christian
! turn of mind toward old enemies as
Colonel Willoughby Williams, of
Nashville, aud Senator Overton, of
| Memphis. Johnson showed old man
| Williams into the penitentiary, abused,
robbed and iusulIed him during the
war. and yet Mr.. Williams, since that
time, has permitted no one to kiss
Johnson's hand more devotedly aud
none to serve him more faithfully than
he; in fact seems TO love him all the
more for the indgnities heaped. In
the same way did johnson serve Sen
ator Overton's father; yet Johnson
had no louder-mouthed supporter in
the Legislature for United States SEN
ator than Senator Overton. We mere
~ mention these facts in order to give
Mr.. Brownlow brilliant examples of
forgiving nature, which he should
| initiate. We thoroughly admire every
other portion of the Tribune letter but
the " rebel' part, and commend its pc
sEusal to the ardent admirers of the
~ orphan Senator" in this locality.

TO THE POINT.

We admire a candid man whether
we admire his principles or not.
Even if he is wrong, if he will speak
out so his neighbors understand where
10 find him, we have some respect for
him. The Memphis APpeal believes
that the Torbett Issues ought to be
paid and is in favor of enforcing their
payment. After abiding to Gen.
Buffers letter to the senior editor of
this paper, published few days ago,
it says: ..r..
Buffers opinion to the people of this
State is worth the paper it is written upon,
no more. The Torbett issue, Of right. ought
to and it will be paid"
1t does not say that it was not
issued in aid of the rebellion. II
does not claim that these issues dc
not come under the head of debts, the
payment Of which is prohibited by
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution. 1t simply says they

but the May and July interest and the
$50, 600 in bonds for the sinking
fund will be paid in gold. If there is
no export of coin during these pay
ments the bulk of the gold to be paid
out by the treasury will find its way
into the bank vaults.
Thus with the legal tenders flowing
in from the country aud gold flowing
out of the treasury, there is every pros
pect for great increase in the strength
of the banks, and consequently assured
ease in money, both tor legitimate and
speculative purposes. The voice of the
croaker is growing faiuter, and we are
likely TO enter the centennial.year with
a degree Of prosperity that will reflect
credit upon theeuterprise aud reOuper-
alive ability Of the American people.

In the i'm parchment of the State
Auditor in Louisiana, if he is guilty of

State or party can afford to protect
thieves in office. Whenever they are
discovered, without any sort of refer
ence to their party standing, or family,
or social connections, they should be
dealt with in a summary manner and
punished to the full extent of the law.
We urge this. especially in regard TO
Republican office-holders. Their party
teachings are such that they know
better than to steal, and if they are
good Republicans they will not steal.
Thieves, rogues and counterfeiters
naturally belong somewhere else.

WE are inclined to believe that the
talk about hard times and the scar
city Of money in our city is not based
on facts. Our people upon the slight
est provocation, seem to spend money
in the most reckless manner. We
have had an example Of it during the
past week. Staub's Opera House
has been crowded almost every night,
and enough has been spent patroni,
zing a performance, not instructive
or elevating in its character, to pay
the ordinary current expenses of the
city for weeks. If it had been pro
posed to tax the people the amount
that has been thus spent, for some
useful improvement, it would have
raised a terrible excitement. Taking
another view Of the case, the receipt.
of the concern alluded to would equa
tie salaries paid to two or three o
the Pastors Of our city Churches, O
would pay half dozen school teach
ers for a whole year. Then can W,
justly complain that times are hare
and money scarce?
