A USEFUL CLERGYMAN.

SO much has recently been said and
sung about clergymen. and OF derogo-
tary nature, that IL is at once refreshing
and consolatory TO read of an Alabama
clergyman who is the unwilling possessor
OF the gift of clairvoyance. II seems
that be enjoys pretty fair health but oc-
casionally under predisposing causes he
goes into sor. of cataleptic state and |
becomes most extraordinary expounder |
of mysteries and discoverer of that which
it is desired should be hidden. The
citizens have utilized him in various
ways as sort of detective and taking
advantage OF what no deems an infrmity
they. after getting him into a clairvoysnt
state, m AXE him serve very laudable
purpose in relating where to find stolen
goods and telling who stole them. thus
fur,hering the ends Of justice. But bis
moral discrimination unfortunately
passes from under his control when in
that state and he will read letter with
out breaking the seal and tell people
what is passing in their minds and do
various other little marvellous feats,
which, however interesting. must be en-
: barrassipg TO all concerned. He IS
great moral power in the community. he
can tell what everyone is doing at any
hour of the day or night, can and does
: discover unto them their most secret
II tbouehts<and actions, and is sort OF
d standing terror to all ungody men. He
. seems to be sort Of human realization
of the All-seeing eye and exercises such
a general supervision that, Asmodeus
like, the roof Of every house is metaphor
ically uncovered to him. Apart from

his prospective defeat before a Demo-
cratic Legislature. Hurrah for the

Yesterday afternoon the Criminal
Court Grand Jury found a r bill
against J.. Fassman as accessory after
the fact to murder in the second degree,
that degree being the crime for which
Henry Bender, the recaptured county
Jail prisoner, was convicted of. Fass-
man vas indicted under the common
law for aiding Bender to escape from
the city. In another paragraph it is
stated that Eastman was admitted to
bail, but this was before his re-arrest on
the indictment found.
Our foreign-born population in the
city, almost to a man, favor the election
of Andrew johnson, because there is a
tradition that to him is due the defeat
and extinction of Know.Nothingism in
Tennessee. This is a popular error, as
that defeat is due 10 the Democratic
party whose nominee for Governor was
Mr.. johnson. The party and its no mi
nees in every county killed Know
Nothingism, and Mr.. johnson is entitled
not to the exclusive credit Of the deed.
This is history against tradition.
