THE KNOXVILLE CADETS.

DR.. w. NJ. Clarke, the genial and
accomplished editor of the Nashville
Banner, has been on visit to Knox.
vile recently, and writes as follows:
Knoxville has good cause to be
proud of her university. The grounds
are very attractive, together with its
grassy knoll and beautiful shrubbery.
There are several fine buildings, suf-
ficient to accommodate its numerous
pupils. The latter are as fine looking
a set Of young men as are generally
seen together. They show well the
careful training and attention they
have and are receiving at the hands of
its able professors. We had strong
hopes the board of trustees would
allow them, or at least a portion of
them, to come to our centennial mill
tary celebration, and compete for the
prize. A thousand dollars, if won by
|, them, would be a very nice douceur
Ito be divided among them. If the drill
witnessed the other day be fair
sample OF their proficiency, they will
stand a good chance to carry it off.
We suggest to the trustees the pro-
priety of selecting, say forty of them,
and send them down here un-
der charge Of their colonel,
for the military week. We are
assured by General Wheeless, if they
will consent, he will be personally re-
sponsible for their good conduct and
safety. Not that we suppose they will
act badlyor do anything wrong, for
we believe no such thing, but it may
be a matter of comfort to their parents
and teachers to know that such an
estimable gentleman will have an eye
to their comfort and fair treatment.
We hope this proposition will be &C
cepted. V 1t will be an admirable drill
lesson for them, and if they will bring
camps, or, if they have none, they eau
be supplied here; the cost Of the trip
will be small in comparison wife the
pleasures to be enjoyed

AMUSEMENTS.
THE PIRATES OF pENzANoE.


The theater was crowded last night,
standing room being scarce down
stairs, and big audience all over the
house. General Grant, supported by
Or. D. 7. Porter and Mr.. |. NJ. Hill,
several other well-known citizens
in attendance, occupied front seats on
the east side of the dress-circle. 1t
was a gala night, or at least seemed to
be, for a brilliant array of feminine
loveliness occupied seats oil through
the auditorium. The Pirates of Pen
zance," by the authors of "Pinafore, F"
had its first representation in this city.
The scenery was good, the dressing
fresh, bright and attractive the sing
ing, as a whole, wretched; the dialogue
in many parts silly, and the acting, in
many more parts, bad. The general
verdictis that the piece cannot com
pare with "Pinafore, eitherin humor,
music or interest 1t, however, pos
seSses many attractive features, and
some were decidedly amusing. In the
first act a picturesque and pleasant
musical feature was the entire COM
pany in prayer scene, and this re-
ceived merited encore. The leading
soprano Of the company is its bright
particular star, around which seem to
revolve all the lesser satellites. The
vOcalism of this lady was very fine and
she was recalled to repeat on several
occasions. 1t is possible that a better
company would render the opera more
captivating, but as it appears after last
nights representation it is as near
nothing as can be. Aside from it,
scenery, its dressings and its scatter.

praise in the PIRATES Of Penzance. y

THE GRANT OVATION.
How His Twen1y-seven Hour
Visit TO Memphis WOund Up.

But little remains to be said to-day
regarding the manner in which Cen
eral Grant was entertained yesterday
afternoon, last night and to-day. His
stay here was rendered exceedingly
pleasant in every particular, and the
distinguished guest gave fre-
quent expression of his gratifed feel
ings in relation thereto. After the
ceremonies in Court square,
the general and his party
were permitted to rest at his
hotel until 4 o'eloek in the afternoon.
In the meantime numerous callers
paid their respects to the ex president
and to Mrs. Grant. In company with
several members of the reception
committee, and a delegation of col
ored citizens, General Grant visited
the Beal street Baptist church and
the lie Moyne institute. At the latter
place the colored pupils sang hymn
entitled, winter will soon be
over" A few hours Of rest
at the hotel followed, then
General Grant went to the theatre,
and witnessed the first act of pirates
of Penzance. The ladies of the party
did not attend tha theatre. Next, a
visit to the mnsical soiree at the Ten
nessee club rooms, on the south side
of Court square, after which a grand
Grant banquet at the Peabody hotel.
This closed the festivities of the day.
This forenoon the guests we're permit
ted to rest until near the hour of their
departure for Arkansas, which took
place at noon to-day.

\ He has come and gone. The man
who received the surrender of Lees
war worn veterans at Appomattox
fifteen years ago, and has since held
the highest military and civil posi-
ton is to-day and has been Tor three
years plain, private citizen. Yet he
occupies larger share Of public at
tention and silent as he is Yields a
greater influence than the president
Of the Tinted States. In his travels
he chose to come by way of Memphis,
snd the representative people of the
city paid him every mark Of respect.
The demonstration, as far as we
know had not the slightest political
color or meaning. 1t illustrated
the hospitality of southern people,
and gave expression to their sense of
civility and propriety. There was no
gush, no sycophantic twaddle, no
deafening applause. Thirty thousand
people of all classes turned out quietly
and decorously, to lock upon and to
welcome the only living ex-president.
We may felicitate ourselves that
the proprieties of the occa-
sion were observed by all even to the
minutest details. So far as the public
reception was concerned, we feel that
there was neither too much or too
little. The weather was beautiful,
the people turned out, and everything
was conducted with a considerable
degree of smoothness and precision
, The street procession, we are glad to
be assured, was satisfactory. The ad-
dress of welcome was commended by
thousands, after they read it in yes
terday's LEDGER. General Grant
said but little. 1t was not expected
that he would. But he was visibly
moved at the eloquent remarks OF
Colonel Patterson, and replied with
an emotion of which no brave man
need be ashamed. He seemed to ap-
preciate the quiet, spontaneous atten-
tions paid him here, and we hope car
ries away pleasant impressions
without OVERRIDING the mat
ter Memphis has sustain
ed the reputation of her people
for public spirit and chivalric polite
ness. We could not have done less and
need not do more. TO have RENTED
the proper ceremonies to politicians OF
partisans would have been mean, tc
have gushed over would have been
insincere. The reception tendered Ia
Gen. Grant was honest, open-hearted
manly. 1t was due to him as we'll as
to ourselves.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Ute
agreement bill passed the senate this
afternoon, after having been amended
in several important particulars. Mr..
Teller got in an amendment giving the
commissioner discretion, in settling
the Indians on their new lands, to
send all those who so desired to Uin-
tab reservation in Utah. The
bill provided that only the
White river bands should be
sent there. Senator Morgan of.
fered an amendment, which provides
that if the agreement is not ratified
within four months after the passage
of this act it shall be of no effect"
This amendment was further amended
at the instance Of Senator Ingalls, by
adding a proviso that, in case the In
dians refused to ratify the agreement,
they shall be protected in their reser.
vations by the power of the United
amendment was that the Utes guilty
Of participating in the Meeker massa-
ere, shall be surrendered before any
portion of the moneymentioned in the
bill shall be paid to Indians.
Mr.. Schurz said tonight that he
had not seen the bill in its amended
form and would not Of course like to
express an opinion about it, but from
what he could learn he believed it
was not materially hurt in the senate.
He is of the opinion, however, that it
will be considerably modified in the
house and when 1t goes to committee
of conference it may be possible to
bring very fair bill out of the wreck.
