A GREAT POLITICAL CoTERIE.
AT no time since the war has anv
occasion convened in Tennessee such an
assemblage OF talent and distinguished
citizens as are4nOw assembled in this
city. The Supreme and federal courts.
the legislature and the senatorial con-
test, have caused the most eminent citi-
zens of the State to flock here. Judges,
politicians, lawyers and others are here
from every section, and the social gath
eriDgs at the Maxwell house, CONNER
cial hotel and other places of public hos
pitality are OF the most pleasant and
brilliant character. The first inn
preston that takes hold OF a
bOdy's mind, in searching into the
situation OF affairs in this place, is the
vast difference between the character of
the politicians here and in the States Of
Mississippi and Louisiana. There the
carpetbagger element is thrown omen to
the public gaze, amid all its vile insight
illness, while here We find the best men
IN the State occupying the places of
prominence aud trust. When one is in
troduCed to q member of the assembly
or an officer of the State government of
Tennessee, he feels like he has met one
OF his own people-one with whom he
shares g common interest, and who
brings back the pride and confidence re-
posed in the Olden time in the officers of
the government. l have met number
of the peoples representatives. AS a
class, they are new in the field of poll
tics, and this may account for the re-
markable energy they display in
hardening faithfully and incessantIy
in the line Of their duty. Nashville is
not a gay place at present, and don't
suppose it ever was, Judging from the
appearance of things. But when any
thing of the kind is on hand, it is enjoy
able enough, from the fact that those
who engage in it display every requisite
that pleasure requires. For genuine hos
pitality the State of Tennessee is far
above any of her sisters. From the lone
cot in the wild mountains of East Ten
nessee to the pretty bowers of the West
ern district, the hospitality of the Ten
nessean is without a parallel. On the
eighth instant

GOVERNOR BROWNS POSITION,

nave. governor Brown Will not With
draw from the contest unless his candi-
dacy should prove detrimental to the
party, and this is not possible. He
thinks he will develop much more
strength than is generally believed, and
is sanguine Of being elected.
LIGHTNING CANDIDATES,
The old joke about the lightning strik-
ing the trees has been pleasantly revived
and is gracefully circulated by Hon.
EbikineeZer James, of Chattanooga, in
the coterie OF politicians that hold forth
in the Maxwell house. Among these
candidates are Hon. Gus. a. Henry, of
Clarksville, Governor Isham q. Harris.
Of Memphis, and Judge Pete Turney. Of
the supreme court. The iOvial, genial
disposition Of the last named gentleman
is well known to his numerous friends.
Last night the judge was questioned as
to his senatorial aspirations, and inform
cd OF his place among tde lightning can
dldates. be replied that he had not
been eating iron nor drinking mineral
water in order 10 De the victim Of SEN
atnrial stroke of lightning. He does
not aspire TO the position, though his
friends would like to see him elected.
Hon. Gus. A. Henry's aspirations will
not interfere with those OF any an
nounced candidate. Governor Harris
will become candidate in the event OF
the legislature being unable to elect any
Of the present ones before them. In this
respect he and Mr.. Henry occupy SIM
liar position. have heard Hon. Jeffer.
son Dsvis's name mentioned in connec-
ton with the senate. Now, what do
you think of that? Are you like the
Scotchman in the Chicago saloon, eh
It is evidently the desire of some toseak
a compromise candidate, provided none
OF tn Use here can DC elected. l have
heard that some of Johnson's friends IA
vored the selection of gentleman un-
known to notoriety in the present con-
test, and would try 10 elect him, pro-
vided the ''great commoner" could not

A HARD EXPERIENCE.
Life Among the Savages.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Oue of the most re-
markable experiences among savages was that
of VIM. z. Day, seafarng man, who recently
arrived in this city. The sailing vessel Bona
Juta left this city for cruise along the Malay
coast. While anchored off little natural
harbor six of the crew went ashore in boat
for the purpose of purchasing fruit and other
fruit among the natives. While trying to drive
a bargain with one of the chiefs Mr. Day
offended one chief, In loud and angry tones
Zetzek gave some orders to his people, and
forthwith the savages began throwing stones
and sticks at the little party of sailors.
The sailors did not stop to fight, but ran as
fast as they could toward their boat, which had
teen hauled upon the beach. The boat was
somewhat heavy, and it required considerable
effort to push into the water. -Four of the
sailors jumped into the little craft and the
other two-Mr. Day and a man named Joe
Mechard-remaned out to push the boat off
from the shore. Day and Mechard had Just
started the boat and were about to jump iD
themselves when they were seized from behind
by the savages and taken prisoners. His
comrades did not return to their assistance, but
rowed away towards their ship as rapidly as
possible.
No sooner did Zetzek, the chief, get the
captives safely away from the coast than he
commenced a series of crueltes which are
almost beyond belief. A favorite amusement
of the savages was to poke sticks into the fire,
and when the ends were well burned they
thrust tnein iuto tne Hesn OF the captlves,
making horrible burns and scars. After re-
naming several months in captivity Mr.
Mechard was taken sick with disease some
what similar to the Asiatic cholera and died in
a few hours
After being about year with the savages
Mt Day fell from cliff and broke bis right
leg, besides otherwise bruising and manning
himself, so that he was made cripple for life
Being thus rendered useless to the savages they
took him to a Missionary Station, and the
missionaries ransomed him by giving the
savages some trinkets. Mr.. Day took the next
Malay coast, arriving in this city a few days
ago.
