EAST TENNESSEE.


The Louisville Commercial
says the public is reminded that
there is one large and compact
territory in the South which ney-
or has been solid for the Democ-
racy, and, TO all appearances, nev-
or will be. The territory referred
to contains some twenty-five
counties in the far-famed region
of East Tennessee, which is so
rich in natural resources, in min
erals, fertility, watcr-power and
climate, that il may be truthfully
said to possess all the require
ments for the acquisition Of eX-
t~raordinary wealth aud pOpula-
ton. This romantic and beauti-
full region. embracing two Con-
gressiOnal Districis-the First
and Second-has committed the
blunder Of electing two Demo
Gratis in the course of a great ma
ny years. These unfortunate
events were so much out Of the
natural order of things that the
East Tcnnessceans looked upon
them, and talked Of them, as be-
longing to a class of accidents
which "happcn in the best lami.
lies" Mr.. Maynard represented
the Knoxville District for many
years, and was succeeded by Mr..
Thornburg, the present Repre-
sentative. Judge Randolph, a
strong Republican, represents
the First district. It's worth Of
remark that East Tennessee has
produced an unusual proportion
of men Of vigorous, and well in
formed minds, who have attain
ed National distinction. The PEG
pie are well informed and are far
from occupying an isolated and
secluded position within inacccs
siblc mountains, whose grandeur
and beauty have won them the
title of the Switzerland Of the
South. The East Tennessee and
Virginia railroad and its branches
place them in daily connection
with the world abroad, and with
its daily newspapers and markets.
In spite of their frugal life, sim
pie habits, and unassuming APP
pcarance, their plain garments
cover a large amount Of sterling
worth and mother wit, and they
are fully able to cone with any
community of mouiftaineer8 on
the continent.
In politics, East Tennessee has
always been distinguished for its
National views. The heresies
and vagaries of Democracy never
got a footh0ld among its iron and
copper mines and rich marble
%quarries, or on the splendid rarms
Of Strawberry Plains and the
Sweetwatcr Valley. The people
followed Webster, Clay, John
Bell and Lincoln on all National
questions, and in 1861 chose the
fire and scourgo Of martyrdom
rather than forsake their ancient
faith. Even those old adverse
ries, Brownlow and Johnson, bur
led the Ratchet and joined hands
in opposition to what they term
ed in their vehement rhetoric
"the hell bound Confederacy."
Those stern warriors are no more,
but their followers still hold to
their old faith, and the Demo
crat who tries to disturb it will
have a rugged road to travel.

Starving In the Black EEills.

If any ofoul readers contemplate
going to the Black Hills country
they had better read the follow
ing news taken from the New
York Iorald's special from there;
There are now at least $1,000
people in the Hills who are with
out employment, and many
thousand moro who are only
making expenses. Those who
came in here last year have
"staked Off" every foot OF ground
where there is any prospect OF
mineral deposit. From forty to
fifty thousand pilgrims have al
ready been here and gono back
home again. They wero almost
universally disappointed in their
expectations. The Black Hills is
no place for u man TO live in un-
less he is making money, There
are hundreds Of men now in the
Hills who are on the Verge OF
starvation, and they can get no
employment at any price, for the
simple reason that the Hills are
|swarming with men asking for
work. Several suicides have oc-
cured here lately, one Of them,
Walter Whitley, took his own
life rather than starvo to death.
This is the unvarnished truth.

Henry Seligman, banker, prOpos-
ed the health of General Grant.
Mr.. Seligman, on giving the
toast, made a few appropriate re.
marks, in the course of which he
said that the General was univer-
sally honored and esteemed. The
toast was duly honoyed.
General Grant, in his reply,
thanked the city Of Frankford for
the confidence it placed in the
Union during the late civil war.
He concluded by drinking to the
welfare and prosperity Of the
city.
At the conclusion Of his short
speech the General was given a
magnificent ovation. The guests

point OF the great saving in the burden of
taxation through the reduction in interest
