DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR
BROWNLOW.

Ex>Gov. Brownlow died last
Sunday at 2 ?. NJ, in the seventy
second year of his age. His death
go close on the pacifcation of the
South by President Hayes, gives
some point to the remark SO often
made that he was kept alive only
by intense political excitement
Though unexpected, his death will
create but little stir, as since the
close of his official career, he has
been pretty much lost to the pub
lie view. In the days beyond the
fiery flood there was sensation
wherever this strange figure whisk~
ed through society. BY many he
was observed with feelings akin to
those excited by visions of the aveng-
ing angel, and those who did not
admire the man looked with curl,
GUS interest on his volcanic career.
Like the buzz>saw lie had an edge
that was sharp, ragged and cruel,
and, like it, there were bright and
polished sides to him that indicated
the finest metal.
In the calmcst times he seemed
to feed on fiery food and when the
day of revolution came he blazed
with passions which refused to sub.
side at its close.
1t was doubtless affection, not
age, that cooled and tempered his
seething spirit until he gravitated
to the advocacy OF Hayes nomina~
ton over Blaine, but even this ex-
hibited some bright gold deep down
within him. With all his asperities
he bore, now and then, fruits that
were bright and enjoyable, and
with better opportunities and diff
fCrent directions to that strong cur
rent that rushed beneath him in
youth, he might have made name
and fame that would be regarded
as splendid. AS it is those whom
he most deeply wounded in life will
not rejoice in his death. Let us
cover with the sod of the cemetery
those points in his career which we
attacked VIXEN he was here to de,
fend them, and let us grave on the
marble of his adopted East Ten
nessee, those virtues, that like veins
of gold, did traverse the hard quartz
to which his nature crystalized in
the chemistry of the past age.

for qrass; there would be no herds along
the road to bother drovers, and it is il
many respects superior to the present out
let, besides, when the railroad was reach
ed the distance to market would be at leas,
900 miles less. The driving of beef cattle
has become a permanent industry, and
the cheapest and most practical route pos
|sible must be found. Our sheep industry
lie also assuming such mammoth proper
|tions that greater market for mutton is
needed. If this route was open, sheep
could be driven 10 Bismarck and shipped
East at good profit. We believe that in
such an event the production of mutton.
taking the wool into consideration. would
be more profitable than that of beef. The
cost of driving sheep through this region
would be bAf little more than that Of
herding on the range, and special rates
could, no doubt, be had from the N. p. t"
encourage and strengthen the trade, as it
would tie competition with the U. Pr
The foregoing are some of the consider
atoms actuating us in our course IN the
premises; and we have urged such pro-
cedure regarding utilization Of the Vel
|owstone, that q river highway might pos
sibly be added to our means of entrance
md exit. We cannot see any reason why
other parts of the Territory should op-
pose the experimcnt-an experiment.
which. if successful, must rebound to theI
benefit of its every section.
