Warthin, ex-member of the Legisla-
ture, and MIR. Wylie, editor Of the
SoRdersUilIe Herald, stating that a
formidable instruction was brewing
among the negroes. This dispatch was
confirmed by another from MIR. Reubin
Mayo, Sheriff Of Washington county,
stating that he had several Of the ring
leaders under arrest, but feared that
an attempt would be made to rescue
them. Gov. Smith at once telegraphed
back to Sheriff Mayo to summons such
a posse comitatus of the citizens as
would enable him to hold the prison
ers. Also, that he would Ocder Capt.
G.. 81. Peacock, of the Washington
Rifles, and Capt. @. A. Tarbutton, of
the Washington Dragons, to place
their companies at his command. The
Governor also counseled moderation.
In the meantime the news had trav-
eled abroad. During yesterday the
authorities of Washington county, IN
addition to The telegram from Gov.
Smith, received a dispatch from Maj.
George Jones, commander of the
Macon volunteer battalion, stating that
if any help was needed to let him know;
that he could come down on a special
train with his command on three hours
notice. This battalion comprises six
companies, four from Macon, one from
Eatonton and one from Milledgeville.
We learn that offers of aid were also
made by the volunteer companies of
Augusta.
Last night Gov. Smith received a
telegram again from Sheriff Mayo stat
ing that forty negroes were arrested.
Later he received another dispatch
from Capt. Peacock, stating that every
thing was then quiet, but that full con-
LESSONS had been made by a number of
the prisoners, and he had his company
out under arms.

A HISTORIC TAILOR SHOP.

an exchange says:
The Philadelphia papers take kind
ly to the suggestion that Andrew
JohnsOn's tailor-shop be exhibited at
the National Centennial next year,
with the original sign-board hanging
out, bearing the words, "A. johnson,
tailor"
We know of no house that would be
sought after and more eagerly gazed
upon as a historic "reminiscences than
that old tailor shop. 1t does not stand
now where it did when kr. johnson
bought it. 1t was built OF occupied by
an older tailor. 1t was purchased by
Mr.. johnson and removed from the
high street in Greeneviile to the road
In the valley. There he established
himself, dspbtless as he thought per-
manently as a "bOss" tailor. Upon
that shop the original sign
board was hung out bearing the
words, a. JOHNSON, TAILOR. 1t was
a sign on a plain black board, which
looked as though it had been blacksd
with poke berries or lamp black, about
two feet in length and ten inches IN
width. The lettering was in yellow.
During the war the old sign was taken
away by some Of the belligerent forces,
but a fac simiIe was replaced on the
day Of the ex-President's burial. We
doubt whether his family Will consent
to It's removal to Philadelphia. If re.
moved from its present location, it
should be brought to the capital of the
State and placed here as a fitting me-
mento Of the success Of individual en-
ergy coupled with unbending integrity.

BLOODY DELAY.

The Napoleonic Governor Of Illinois
is reported TO have spent yesterday in
porting and pondering over the tones
Of enactments which legislate riots, in
timidation, and conspiracy out Of ex-
isJence. As a result Of this mastery
but cautious advance upon the out
works Of the Frauklin, Williamson,
and jackson county miscreants, he
discovers that there is no statute
against wearing a mask at night, and
that, aTgal, Ku-Kluxism in this State,
if not commendable upon high moral
grounds, is at least not penal accord
ing to the laws Internationally ex-
pounded by John J. Beverage. Per-
haps if His Exce.lency were to tackle
the story Of Pompey and the pirates
first, it would give him a nerve equal
to this bOdeful Egyptian emergency.

A CASE of peculiar interest TO these

PENDANT, and damages were laid at

THE REY NOTE.
Chattanooga Times, Aug. 70.


In politics Senator Key is a National
Democrat. He is no Bourbon, and fees
no bitterness on account of the past.
Five years ago May %, 1870, at the
decoration Of The Confederate graves in
this city, he said:
each section believed itself right
and war had to come. Let us thank
God that the conflict is over. Let us
all recognize the consistency, integrity
and devotion to principle of both sides,
and not provoke new hostilihes by in
dulging in terms of contumely toward
one another.
I have no doubt that thousands of
diersfellfghting bravely
on the battle field whose souls are now
in Heaven. 1 have no doubt that thous-
ands Of Federal soldiers fell on the field
of battle fighting Just as bravely, and
that now their souls are also in Heaven.
Do you think they are fighting and
quarreling there to-day over this con-
test?
=
"Let us overlook and excuse the
faults of one another. And on this
holy day this decoration was on Sun
day and In this sacred place, sur
rounded by the ashes of friends and OF
strangers, let us vow that we win be
friends, and that hereafter we viii
work together II peace and harmony,
acknowledging one flag and one coun-
try, knowing neither North nor South,
seeking and encouraging nothing IN
any one but virtue and righteousness,
be he of whatever race or sechon-oe-
claring here, over the graves of our
dead, that we are now one harmonious
people, with common destiny, striving
by our earnestness In good works at
last to be reunited above IN the same
glorious heaven"
These sentiments he still entertains,
and manifests not only In words, but in
actions.
In regard to the financial question,
he faYOrs the resumption of specie pay
ment at as early day as fossibie, with
out too violent disturbance Of the es-
tablished methods of doing business.
He is neither an infationist nor con-
tractionist, but 1 believe that the in
dustry and enterprise Of the American
people, untrammeled by unwise legis-
lation, will be amply sufficient to settle
all the financial difficulties, under
which they are now labOring.
In his personal appearance, Senator
Key is prepossessing. He has tall, COM
handing figure, massive head, hair
and beard tinged with gray, gray eyes,
and genial expression on his face,
which does not belle his character. No
man is personally more popular in East
Tennessee, and no man can know him
intimately without feeling for him both
admiration and respect. Much is ex-
pected of him, and we believe he viii
not disappOint the expectations of his
friends.

that they would have the working por.

THE UNION AND AMERICAN is quite
right on the question of the speaker
ship of the United States House. It
would be a most gorgeous blunder to
elect Sam Randall, of Pennsylvania, if
he is, as we infer, a high-tarif man.
The protection that high tariff implies
is no part or offspring Of Democratic
ideas, and to give the speakership and
all its powers and advantages INTO the

defraud the people of the victory they
gained In electing a Democratic major
