1t is rather up hill work to make Ten
nessee democrats cry fraud" over the
president. They absolutely refuse to fol-
low Tilden's lead, and turn the cold shout
der to President Hayes, as appears from
the invitation of the citizens committee
asking him to visit Nashville in Sep
TENDER. They say that 'the whole people

" ton of party desire to see the president
that they "may have an opportunity of
showing how much they respect you

Hereafter THE DAILY GLOBE will be sold
for TWO CENTS A COPY. THE GLOBE con-
tains ALL THE NEWS FURNISHED BY
ASSOCIATED PRESS and by reliable Special
Correspondents. 1t is excelled by no other
newspaper in the State in any respect. At
the greatly reduced price now announced it is
one of the cheapest as well as one Of the best
newspapers in the country.

The prompt manner IN which President
Hayes met the crisis is receiving merited
praise from the friends of law and order
everywhere. The south is especially out
spoken, and the hearty praise he receives
from that quarter may be justly claimed as
one of the results of his southern policy.
Several of the leading papers have COM
mended his course in using the power of
the general government in suppressing the
disorders and the whole tenor of southern
public opinion, il we may judge from the
press, is that if it should become necessary
to call for volunteers to suppress the mob,
the gray would be found with the blue, and
together they would form an impenetrable
wall against all disturbances of the peace.

The forging Of the telegram delivered to
the Middlebury militia company, Saturday,
seems to have involved no crime-unless,
possibly, the larceny of a telegraphic brief
but it shows gross carelessness on the
part of the employees Of the telegraph com
pany. But for such carelessness the briet
could not have been obtained, and the out
rage on the militia committed. 1t is not
the frst tlno these hnguS telosrunIo On the
company's blanks have been delivered. We
are told of instances where these blanks
have been furnished by operators, they
knowing that they were to be used for the
purpose of deceiving some one with what
purported to be regular kilograms. The
managers of the company owe it to them
selves, to the company and to the public to
make a thorough investigation of this case,
ascertain if possible how the brief was OBJ
tanned, and make an example of the culp-
ably careless, or dishonorable, employe.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Times,

placing too much reliance upon the state
mcnts of untruthiul correspondents, speaks
Of ID. II. CHAMBERLAIN who prctcnds TO be

Bil,L,IN was the legal advisor and the

is RAPIDLY spfinging out Of the con-

again. A large force Of men are at

troyed. Many of the models are in
comparatively good condition, mas
much as they were mainly composed
of iron, which escaped melting by
the beat. Another large force is at
work restoring to their proper places
records and books that were removed
yesterday. In the unburnt portion
of the patent office employees are at
work replacing models in their posi-
tions. Several of the bureaus are
attending TO regular works as hereto
fore. There are several firemen on
the roof of the building, in case any
fire should still be under the roof.
All the fine fresco work in the pat
ent Office 5re0m has been damaged by
water. Nl9kNsef the models injured
or destrqYeX vere of harvesters,
agrieultufa9 supplements of all des-
criptions, and all relating to railroads
hydraulics and pneumatic of ever
kind description, and several other
minor classes, including many mod
els of considerable importance. All
the models in the fine arts and lines
of building hardware, printing and
sewing machines, including the origi-
nal Howe sewing machine, we're
saved. The original model of the
