PARsoN BRowNLow, whose eccentric polit-
ieal character and independent spirit has
made his name well known to the public,
died at Knoxville, Tenn, last Saturday, at
the advanced age Of seveDty-two years. lie
was born in Wythe county, Virginia, Aug
20, 1905, and entering the Methodist minis
try in 1928 be was an itinerant preacher for
ten years. In 1887 or thereabouts, he bo-
came editor of the Knoxville Wing, wide
ly-circulating political newspaper, and it was
while engaged in this work that he obtained
the sObriquet Of the "fghting parson." In
his paper he strongly opposed the secession
movement from its very beginning, and there
by drew upon himself much persecution
from the friends Of the confederacy. He
chung boldly to his patriotic principles, how
ever, and in December, 1861, about month
after be was obliged to desist from publish
ing the Wing, be was arrested by the rebels
and held prisoner 10 Jail for four months.
In 1885 he was elected governor Of Tennes-
see, which Office he held until 1869, being
then elected to the United States Senate,
where he served until 1875. On returning
home from the senate he re-established his
newspaper, and until his death devoted to it
all the energy which his failing health
would permit.

time, labor and money.
In the second place, the revival move
msnt is not ended II did not begin with
the Tabernacle meetings; there Is no reason
70 expect that Il will end with them. 1t
has not been she theory, either OF the evan
golists or the churches, that the revival was
dependent upon the movements Of the former,
to come with their coming and 60 with their
gong. In Chicago, for example, the relig-
ious work which began in connection with
their meetings has been continued without
interruption in their absence, and the win
ter has been one Of earnest activity aud great
fruitiulness in the churches. Similar results
may be looked for here The now converts
add to the working power Of the churches
the churches are stimulated 10 fresh exertious
there is remarkable quickening Of religious
interest among business men aud the plans
which are being made look to long cam
paign, the omens for which are auspicious,
and the results Of which will very probably
exceed what has been already witnessed

The Close of the tabernacle Meetings.

The regular engagement Of Moody and
Sankey at the tabernacle in Boston closed
last Sunday, though the building will con-
tinue to be used for religious services. These
meetings have drawn to the tabernacle daily
and sometimes two or three times a day for
thirteen weeks, immense congregations whose
size has been limited, much Of the time, by
the capacity of the building itself. 1t is
impossible to arrive at any de6uite statement
Of the full results of the work of the evan
gelists 10 Boston, but the testimony Of those
who have most carefully watched the meet
iDgs from the beginning say that the number
Of converts cannot fall short Of many hun
dred. On every side great quickening OF
the evangelical churches may be observed
and large accessions to the membership have
been made at the recent communions. The
evangelists express themselves satisfied with
the work that has been accomplished, it hav-
ing exceeded their most sanguine expecta.
TONS The Boston Journal, in speaking oil
the close Of the meetings says;
Two things may be definitely stated, and
they must be nearly as apparent to those
who contemplate the matter from the out
side as to those who look at it from within.
In the FIRST place, the revival movement
has not been failure. The remarkable re-
formations which have been made among the
incorporate the transformations of charac'
ter among business men, and others who ar,
well up in the social scale; the degree Of in
terest which has been communicated to rep
resentAtives Of nearly all classes Of society
and which has extended oyer large portion
Of New EOgland; and the quickened activi
ties Of the churches, -these, and other fact
which might be cited, attest the genuiuenesi
and thoroughness Of the work which has beer
done. IL the estimate which the Saviour o
men placed upon single soul-making it Of
greater value than the whole world-be &C
eepted. surely the hundreds who have beer
brought to a knowledge Of salvation throug
these Tabernacle meetings, constitute abun

Necessity of General Knowledge of the
Principles Of Law.

In a land such as ours, where civil liberty
consists in the fullest freedom to do, or
not to do, that which is not incompatible with
the rights Of others, and where the laws are
made by the people and for the people, a
generally difused and comprehensive knowl-
edge of the principles Of law becomes not
alOnO an advantage, but positive 'luty, in
cumbent alike upon those 'T;ao would aspire
to positions of trust, undertaking the per-
Torrance Of the law, and upon the farmer,
mechanic, tradosman and scholar, by whose
acts trusts are created and the positions
filled. Upon reflection these advantages will
seem so apparent that detailed recital will
be unnecessary, and will not now UNDER
take more than the consideration Vt some Of
the most prominent reasons for general un-
Outstanding of the law, which in this country
is the will Of the people expressed.
In the FIRST place, the law itself presumes
the people not to be ignorant of the law aud
though "ig1lOrantia tacti ereusat," and rea.
sonably SO, owing to variety Of circumstances
and the differing degrees Of human inteli-
gence. "Ig'lOrantiG non ereusat legem," as
a general principle, is equally effective, or Our
laws would be imperative. Admitting ignOr'
ance to be full protection for lawlessness, leg,
islatiOn would become farce; the right Of
personal aud property security would be
abolished the science of law, which, to-day
stands one of the grandest monuments to hui
man wisdom and intelligence, would crumbl'
to the earth the necessity for more liber-
al education, broader comprehension would
not exist, the grand incentive to enlightmeuI
and progress having been removed.

The rise in the value of staple agricul-
turAl productions caused by the prospect of
a prolonged war in Europe, will induce
farmers to put as large an acreage as possible
in marketable crops. The report Of the sta.
tistical corps of the department of agricul.
ture shows in large portion Of the winter
wheat region condition Of the crop which
indicates superior thrift. and larger aver
age production than usual is expected. The
prices Of corn and -four have rcceded lit
tic from the inflated point TO which they
rose upon the first rumors Of the danger Of
a general European war, and il is probable
they will remain about as they are except
an engagement takes place which
will involve all the European powers.

Down by the Sea.

PORTLAND, Me-, May 2, 1877.
Less than eight hours ride from st. Johns
bury by the p. & D. railroad, puts you in
this beautiful city, the metropolis Of Maine
Your humble servant accomplished the trip
yesterday, and enjoyed it, notwithstanding
the GOODNESS Of the air and the cloudiness of
the sky. Quite list of other passengers from
your town we found on the train, some bound
for pleasure with rod aud gun, some bound
for Boston for the purchase of dry goods, and
some, besides myself aud little son, came on
to this city. The ride was without special
incident or accident but many attractions.
The Connecticut river we found lively with
logs, Of which it is estimated there are sixty
million feet of them running down. The
summit of Mount Washington was hid be-
hind q cloud but other peaks we're plainly
seen. The snow still lingering on the noun
tains and the chilliness of the air about the
Notch reminded us that we were not far from
winter AS we descended into the valley of
the Saco the cir became warmer and over
coats were loosened.
Travellers by this route are fortunate in
being conducted by the most courteous gen.
tlemen you ever I'd. They seem to take
pleasure in securing the comfort and con-
venience Of their passengers, SO unlike many
railroad conductors we have seen. Every
attraction is pointed out and explained and
all questions answered with true pleasure.
AS we got down into Maine, especially
nearing Portland, we pass many beautiful
farms and villages The land is tolerably
level, rather rolling, and the soil appears to
be fertile. The grass, though, and buds, have
started little if any more than 10 st. Johns
bury.
Arriving in Portised VIC push for the
City Hotel, which we find the best kept and
filled hotel in the city. Mr.. Martin, who has
had long experience as clerk and assista nj
manager in hotels, has taken this one in a
somewhat rundown condition and made II
the principal house in this city for business
men from all directions, especially from YER
mont. The secret Of his success is in SO
fairly aud generously using his customers
that whoever comes once will come again.
Perry's Hotel, too, Is doing good business,
and has the advantage of the City in being
located more nearly in the center of the bus
iuess blocks. We hear il said their custom
ers are fast friends and their prices very
reasonable.
Business generally is very good here
Trade reaches to very distant points-al
over the world almost. The trade from tn
water is large, while there is large cOun
try centering here by many railroads.

We publish in another column extracts
from the message Of Gov. Hampton to the
legislature of South Carolina, and leave it
for our readers to judge if it does not en-
body the expression an honest, patriotic de-
sire for the welfare Of all the people Of that
state--'the black as well as the white, the
poorest as well as the richest, and a de-
termination to use every possible means to
restore the credit of the state, pay up its
debt, establish free school system which
shall provide for the education Of the negroes
on an equal footing with the whites, and re-
store peace and order out Of the tumult and
chaos that have been the order Of the day in
that state during the carpet bag reign.
In Louisiana, also, the pledges made by
the Nichols administration are all the most
ardent republican can ask for, and the COM
mission appointed by President Hayes to
look into the affairs of that state express the
firm conviction that all these pledges and
resolutions will be faithfully carried out
Gov. Nichols has appointed the 10th inst
as a day of prayer and thanksgiving for the
deliverance that has blessed the people OIL
his state.
With the adjustment of the difficulties il
these two states, each state of the Unior
stands in its normal relation to the Federal
government-the first time this has practi
cally been the case since 1861, and it nov
remains for the people Of the North ant
South to cultivate by freer intercourse with
each other and closer business relations, q
fraternal spirit which shall tend to preserve
this felicitous state of affairs.

GEN. GRANT IN ENGLAND.

The cordial reception of ex-Presi-
dent Grant by the English people is
pleasing evidence of the esteem and
respect with which the United States
and its eminent citizens are regarded
by the mother country. AS a mark
of especial favor, seldom accorded,
Queen Victoria has directed that in
the case of Gen. Grant and family the
universal requirement of special in
vitation to court receptions and en-
tertainments be dispensed with. A
magnificent reception, attended by
over 1000 persons, comprising the
eminence and aristocracy of English
society, was rendered the distin-
guished visitor at Minister Pierrepont's
residence, and permission has been
sought by the authorities of Edinburgh
and other British cities which the
General proposes to visit, to welcome
him in public and official manner.
Our ex-President attended religious
service at Westminster the first Sun
day after arriving lin London, and
heard this complimentary reference
to himself and his country from the
lips of the noted Dean Stanley:
! Gen. Grant has just laid down the sceptre
of the American commonwealth, after hay-
ing, by military powersi still more by gener-
Gus treatment of comrades in victory and
enemies in defeat, restored UNITY to great
and divided people. England welcomes him
as sign pledge that the two nations OF the
Anqlo-Saxon race are still one in heart and
