A Denial from John Xeung
Brown.

There has always been an i'm
preston that the friends OF the Ad-
ministration did not care to claim
that any arrangement had been en-
tered into by the Matthews-FOster
combination by which o Republican
was to get the Speakership. 1t was
limited at very broadly, but never
claimed as q bargain and sale in so
many words. In a recent letter
John Young Brown denies the
charge most emphatlcally that there
was an understanding between the
friends of Hayes and certain South
ern Democrats that a Republican
would be supported tor the next
Speakership. Mr.. Brown says, fur
liner. "It is a preposterOus lie. /
never mentioned such a subject to
Republican, nor was it ever re-
ferred 60 in my hearing, or within
my knowledge by one. 30 far as /
am concerned, the report Is a vile
SANDER" In another part Of the
letter he denies that any bargain
was made for the support of the
Texas Pacific project. This letter
proves that the Administration was
laboring under some delusiop when
the Speakership was offered to Gar
field with so much confidence appa-
rently on the strength of discover
les made by Matthews and Foster.

Ex-Governor John. c. Brown.

We clip the following notice OF
this distinguished Tennesseean
from the Austin Daily Statesman
of the 10th inst:
Eek Cover nor John G.. Brown,
the skillful manager of men and
adroit party leader, who has been
chosen by.Tom Scott to shape prac-
tically the fortunes of MS railway
scheme in the South and in Wash
ington, is now with his wife at
Marshall. Not long ago the Presi-
dent of the United States, advised
of Governor Browns peculiar skill
in dealing with men and of the
wonderful facility with which he
moulds individuals to his purposes,
sent the Governor to Louisiana.
He was at once conspicuous among
the members of the Commission for
his capital good sense and tact and
shrewdness. The labors of the
commission were crowned with ex
traordinary success and Governor
Brown so shaped results or good
fortune for the President that the
government created for Louisiana,
aside from the States chief magis-
trate, was that created BY the very
returning board which gave the
States vote to Mr.. Hayes. Not on
" did the Presidents title TO the
presidency thus receive quasi con-
lirmation but the interests of the
Texas Pacific Railway were not for
gotten by the shrewd ex Governor
of Tennessee, whose hand was visi
BILE in moving the machinery that
lifted Coke from the gubernatorial
chair into the United States Sen
ate. But while the Louisiana com
mission and the President were on
Is intent upon the reproduction of
law and order and decency in Lou
isiana, the machinery for the cleo
ton Of a proper gentleman to the
United States Senate was set in
motion. An admirable gentleman
and lawyer, Mr.. Spoford, was sent
up to Washington to represent
Louisiana in the Federal Senate.
He writes q speech or letter, when
thanking Louisiana for the ''distln
guished honor" but does not for
get to append his views at length,
and approval of Governor Browns
and Lamar's Texas Pacific Railway
bill. Messrs. Coke and Spofford
are proper senatorial representa-
LiYes of Southern States, and, how
ever great the usefulness and tire
less the energy Of Governor Brown,
as a practical railway builder and
and however distinguished
his services rendered Col. Scott as
the manager of Legislatures and of
constitutional conventions, such as
that which renewed the Texas land
grant, he has surely served the
whole country well, to the extent
that he aided in reproducing good
in Louisiana and in
giving Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas proper representatives in the
persons of Lamar, Spofford and
Coke in the highest council cham
Der of Federal Legislation.
Texas therefore has reason for
self graduation in the tact that
Brown becomes, as we are told, q
citizen of this wealth, and
the delightful city of Marshall, with
all it's attractiveness, can have no
stronger social charm than that
found in the presence of Governor
Brown and his wife"

Thursdays demonstration in Con

people, led by armed softas, pushed
themselves before the palace to de

Sultan fed to a fortress on the

persed the crowd wounding many
The Christians fled ont of the city

To the Hon. VIM. S. McLemore
Judge OF the Criminal Court fol
the County of Giles:-The under

the following report, to wit:
We have been in session every
week day since the commencing OF
the court on the lst Monday in the
month, and have applied ourselves
closely to the duties and powers
given to US in your Honor's charge
During the time we have found 2S
indictments and 20 presentments, Of
which a majority are for carrying
concealed weapons, and profanity
We are gratified to report that
crime in the county is on the de-
crease, with the exception, perhaps
of larcenies committed by the col
ored population, of which there are
numerous cases.
We have examined the different
bonds coming under our super
vision in the clerk of the County
Courts office and find them all
save one, supported by good and
solvent securities, and the excepted
one, as We are informed, will be ar
ranged in very few days. We de
sire to commend the clerk for the
accurate and systematic manner in
which the books of his office are
kept.
We have visited the county jail
and poor house by committee and
in the Jail we find the following in
mates: White, 6; black, 10. The
jail is in good condition, perfectly
safe and the prisoners well cared
for. The poor house is under
proper management and has the
following inmates and property, to
wit. Number of inmates, %; white,
II; males, 6; females, S; children,
3: black, 6; males, l; females, 4;

We desire to call attention to the
