No better test of the men who compose
expires this DAY can be found than in the vote
on Wards substitute for the Arkansas resolu-
ton. The substitute embodied the views of
Grants recent Message in favor Of Brooks,
and was defeated by 1872 to 70. Among the
republicans voting against it were Dawes,
Garfield, Hale of Maine, Hawley of Connect
cut, +. r. Hoar, G.. L. Hoar, Kasson, Kellogg,
Killnger, McCrary, Merriam, E. H. Roberts,
Poland, Starkweather, and, indeed all the
real leaders of the party in the House. In it's
favor were the Southern carpet-baggers like
Hynes and Sypher, and the men who have
been left at home for the future, as the two
Buffers, Cessna, Harmer, Maynard, Myers, SEQ
field, Sessions, Shanks, Tyner and Williams
of Indiana. Nothing more unfortunate for
Grants third term aspirations could possibly
have happened, and he has, beside, the cha
grin of knowing that he precipitated it himself.
But while we rejoice in the result we cannot
help feeling some degree of pity for the Presi-
dent. 1t must be a sad thing for him to read
this list of his friends; for, since Falstaff's
picture has been seen. A beggarly array of
disappointed politicians is all that goes to
make up General Grants party.
THERE WERE no new points in the Beecher
trial yesterday. II continues with commendable

understand many contingencies which may
bring the republicans again to power.
They rest only upon the probable
misrnanagement Of the democratic leaders.
If the new men are wise they will re-
new themselves with the victory of last
autumn, and continue on to supreme vic
tory in the Presidential canvass. And yet it
is not without feeling OF sadness that we see
the republican party, after so proud, SO illus
trious and honorable q reign, pass out of
power. 1t has done noble deeds. It saved
the Union; destroyed secession; emanci-
pated the slaves; lifted the Republic from the
position of group of contending, angry
States into that of proud, defiant nation,
ranking with the great Powers of the world.
The United States is to-day better country,
we are better people, our flag is more re-
spected because Of the achievements OF the
republican party. Let us think what we
might be had the Southern Confectionery
proved success. We might be as Mexico,
or the crumbling belt of tropical re-
publics, or the group of despised ma
might be as Germany was fifty years ago
State armed against State, inviting foreign
Powers to come into our territory and profit
by our strifes. We are n nation, and this we
owe to the republican party. But here the
debt ends. The republican party that dies
to-day dishonored death is not the party OF
Lincoln, Of emancipation, of the war for the

Senator BrOWnlOW.

Seventy years and still champion
and hero in the cause of right, and in
advocating principles, that favor free
dom aud the elevation of the human
race. The brave old Roman is one of
the few men whom rebel bayonets
failed to subdue, or frighten from his
country's standard, when, in 1861 they
covered the land like the locusts of
Egypt, devouring and destroying the
substance of the people, aud with
blood hounds hunting down those
who refused to bow the knee TO Baal
or recognize as the flag of the country
the bunting furnished 10y Southern
tire-eaters.
And in every issue of the Knoxville
WING he fired solid columns of hot
shot into the rebel ranks, denouncing
in unmeasured terms the whole con-
spiracy as ungodly and uncalled for re-
belliOn.
AT the same time, and while Knox
vile was flooded with gray backs and
mean whisky, the stars and stripes
tloated, in lonely grandeur, from his
house-top, bidding defiance to the enc
mics of the country, and proclaiming
to the world the principles in defense
OF which he had resolved to die.
Such pure and unalloyed patriotism
and brave devotion to the country, in
the hour of peril, trouble aud danger,
has endeared Senator Brownlow to
every Union man in Tennessee and
the loyal element of the United
States.
And his memory will be cherished
in the hearts of his cOuntrymen long
after his body has sank peacefully in-
to an honored tomb. Yes, he will
live in the hearts of the people, when
the marble and brass upon which are
recorded deeds of valor and heIoism,
and now adorn the graves of the great,
who rest in Westminster Abbey, shall
have fallen to the ground and crum-
bled into dust.-LOudOn Times.
1t is only just to our Senior, to say.
that the foregoing complimentary no.
tice is copied without his knowledge.

The Christians in Turkey.

1t appears from late cable dispatches
that affairs in the Christian provinces
of Turkey have become more serious.
The revolution that began in Herze-
govina has spread into Croatia and
Bosnia. The territory Of Turkey is di-
vided into the immediate aud mediate
possessions of the Sultan, the former
being under pashas or governors APP
pointed directly by the Turkish gov
eminent, and the latter acknowledging
his paramount authority and paying
tribute but governed by their own OF
ticers, whose selection, however, to be
valid must be approved by the Sultan.
Herzegovina is an almost Independent
province of the Turkish empire, nomi-
nally forming part of the pashalic of
Bosnia, which comprises, besides Bos-
MIA proper and Herzegovina, Turkish
Croatia. The tribes who inhabit the
regions of the revolt are fierce and
warlike, and the revolt seems to be so
general that it may be doubted wheth-
er 1t can be suppressed by any ordinary
army. Turkey has bankrupt treas
ury and an imperfectly organized mil
itary department. She is likely to
stand alone in this contest, as Russia
has an interest init and would not
take kindly any foreign Intervention
in behalf of Turkey.

Removal of the New York Postofilce.

At ten o'clock on Saturday night the
old postoffice in New York, on Nassau
street, was deser ed aud the new one
was thrown open to the public. The
whole work Of removal occupied but
four hours, seven hundred men being
engaged in the removal. The new
office was begun in 1870, but work up
on it was suspended for eighteen
months for want of an appropriation.
In its construction Of common brick
there were used II, 26l, 232; ruble ma
sonry 4409 cubic feet; cement, COM

Inconceivable Wealth.



Actual figutes-the realities Of dol
lars aud cents made or lost-usually
carry conviction. Yet in the case of
the silver mines of Nevada, the very
arithmetic of facts tend to stagger be-
lief 1t Is az impossible for the human
mlnu To form "A concrete notion of the
millions nfdOllars in the Big Bonanza,
as 1t l. To realize the distance Of the
earth from the sun. Perhaps within a
few months, or years at furthest, the

Few PEOPLE have any real notion of

does the idea become much more tangi-
BILE when ii is mentioned that one man
could not count that sum in single dol
lars in week, or that forty mechan-
les, at fair wages, would not earn it in
their whole working lives.
There Is nothing indefinite about the
wealth which is to be seen there. 1t is
not prospectus, nor stock bubble,
nor promise to pay at some future
period, or, like greenback, at no
stated time. 1t is real metal, good
solid money, and it has come and is
coming out of the mines at rate that,
enormous n il seems, Is continually
increasing. The product Of silver is
indeed 80 large that its value is nearly
reduced to that of greenbacks, and
there seems to be some reason for the
belief that II silver, instead of gold,
could be raised to redeem legal tender
notes, these mines would supply Il
sufficient amount of metal to establish
our currency Oh a coin basis.
As there is nothing elsewhere on
eerth like this deposit of silver, so the
mines themselves are unparalleled in
the completeness of their ingenious
machinery and appliances. The whole
society of the place is brought into
new conditions, and while some of the
richest men in America share with
their employees the fatigues and dan
gers of life underground, the boot

life and property appear to be safer
there than in most towns made sud

American form of civilization is de
veloped among the mountains of Ne
vada, despite the range profusion of
riches which make its description
sound like an Oriental tale.

A PAPER published at Clinton, says
" through the persevering energy of
General VIM. Terry, representative
of Southwest Virginia, Maj. Gordon,
of the United States Engineers" has
been making an examination with a
view to improving the navigation of
Clinch and Powell rivers, and goes on
further to make the charge indi-
rectly, that we have not received
these benefits through Col. Thorn.
burgh our own repre- sentative, and in.
Inmates that he has not regarded the
interests of his constituents. Now
to show just how little some people
know who write for newspapers, we
will state that Ger VIM. Terry has
not been in Congress. He was elect
ed last fall, but has not yet been
qualified as member of Congress.
Consequently, he had nothing what
ever to do with getting this survey
made.
We copy the following from the acts
Of the second session of the 43d
Congress. The extract is from the
River and Harbor bill, directing the
Secretary of War to cause examina-
tions and surveys to be made, among
other places, at the following points {:
I" The French Broad River from Lead
vale to Knoxville
"Powell's river from the Three Forks in
Wise county, Virginia, to the mouth of
Clinch river, Tennessee" Clinch river
from the mouth of Indian in Tazewell coun.
ty, Virginia, to the junction of Clinch and
Powell's rivers in Tennessee.
And again, Clinch river below the mouth
of Emory and Emory above its mouth, &c"
If the man who wrote the editorial
for the paper mentioned had taken
the pains to inform himself, he would
have found that these clauses in the
bill were presented by Col. Thorn
burgh to the proper committee, and
that the original was in his own hand
writing. These surveys were not
procured by Gen. Terry, who was not
in Congress at all, but by our own
representative, Col. Thornburgh.
These are the facts.

SPEAKING of the Geghan law in
Ohio, the Age of yesterday evening
says:
"The law, as we understand it, grew out
of a refusal of the managers of an orphan
asylum, majority of whose inmates were
Catholics, to allow a catholic priest TO
minister to them. That was the upshot Of
the matter, and nothing else"
To this statement of the Age we
will let the Cleveland LedC}er reply.
1t says:
"There is only one orphan asylum under
control of the State, and that is the Sol
diers' Orphans Home in Xenia. The man
agement of this institution has been Demo-
cratic for nearly two years, commencing
with the instsllment Of that Democratic
superintendent, the bestial Jenner, whom
Governor Allen allowed to resign after
election, instead Of dismissing' him summa-
rily before election, for outraging the per-
sons of some of the orphan girls under his
care. Then, again, a majority of the in
mates in this institution are not Catho.
lies, for fourteen out of fifteen of our gal
liant dead were Protestants."
So it appears that the Age has been
misinformed.
But we will repeat once
more, for the information of our
amiable Brother Charlton, that it is
not so much the bill itself that Pro.
testants oppose, as the spirit mani
Tested while the bill was under dis
cussion, and after it passed. Will
the editor of the Age publish the bill
once more and then tell us what there
il in it that called out the remarkable
statement of its author, to the effect
that " the Catholic Church had 9
prior claim upon the Democratic par
tyr"

THE Cincinnati Commercial, an in
dependent paper that supported Mr..
Greeley for the Presidency, says OF
the Democratic Convention held in
that city on Wednesday:
"The signs of the times are that there is
an impending Democratic smash. There
have been such exhibitions before, the one
at Robinsons Opera House, in Democratic
Conventions of roaring vulgarity, drunk
ennes', blasphemy, cheating, fighting and
factious recklessness, and they have pre-.
coded the most exemplary defeats of the
party"

G. w. MABRY, ESQ, requests us to
say that he did not make war upon
the East Tennessee University, in his
late canvass for Congress in this
District, but that he criticised the
Act of Congress for not providing the
means and making it compulsory on
the Faculty of the Institution to
analyze soil and make experiments
for the benefit of the farmers. He
pays high tribute to the efficiency
of the Institution and its Faculty, and
does not wish to be understood as
joining in a war against it. We did
not hear any of Esquire Mabry's
speeches in the canvass, and cheer.

opinion, as it says, speaking of the

With something akin to Jesuitical shrewd-
ness these Republican leaders saw that a
point could be made in saddling the author
of the Geghan Law upon the Democratic
party at a time when the minds Of the timid
in the State had been infamed by base
charges and appeals. By the use of money

they succeeded in sending to the Convention

What to do in Case of Accident.

Prof. Wilder, of Cornell University,
gives these short rules for action in case OF
accident:
For dust in the eyes avoid rubbing dash

If choked, go upon all tours and cough
For slight burns, dip the part in cold
wateri If the skin is destroyed, cover with
varnish.
For apoplexy, raise the head and body
