EARLY TOWNS IN EUROPE.
Tho Cnthcdrnis Were Magnificent 1,
Architecture.

Tho Cnthcdrnis wcrs Magnificent In
Architecture.
At the beginning of the eleventh
century the towns of Europe were small
clusters of miserable huts, adorned but
with low, clumsy churches, the build
ers of which hardly knew how to make
an arch, says the Nineteenth Century.
The arts, mostly consisting of some
weaving and forging, were in their in
fancy; learning was found in but few
monasteries. Three hundred and fifty
years later the very face of Europe had
been changed. The land was dotted
with rich cities, surrounded by inn
mense thick walls, which were embel-
lished by towers and gates, each of
them q work of art in itself.
The cathedrals, conceived in grand
style and profusely decorated, lifted
their bell towers to the skies, display
ing purity of form and boldness of
imagination which we now vainly
strive to attain. The crafts and arts
had risen to degree of perfection
which we can hardly boast of having
superseded in many directions if the
inventive skill of the worker and the
superior finish Of his work be appre-
ciated higher than rapidity of fabrica-
ton. The navies of the free cities fur
rowcd in ali directions the northern
and southern Mediterranean one effort
more and they would cross the oceans
Over large tracts of land wcll-bcing
had taken the place of misery; learning
had grown and spread.
The methods of science had been
elaborated; the basis of natural philos-
ophy had been laid down and the way
had been paved for nll the mechanical
inventions of which our own times are
SO proud. Such were the magic changes
accomplished in Europe in less than
four hundred years. And the losses
which Europe sustained through the
loss of its free cities can only be under
stood when we compare the seven
teenth century with the fourteenth or
thirteenth. The prosperity which
formerly characterized Scotland, Ger
many, the plains of Italy, was gone.
The roads had fallen into an abject
state; the cities were dcpopulated, labor
was brought into slavery, art had van
ished, commerce itself was decaylng.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 6.-The COVER or
of Georgia has been asked to call out the
militia to be at Andersonville, Sumter
county, on the goth OF this month.
About mile from Andersonville is
located national cemetery, at which
place, on decoration day, there assem-
bles large gathering Of negroes, many
OF them lawless. drunken characters.
In times psst they have utterly disre-
garded the laws of the State and openly
deaed its officers. On last decoration
day the crowd became unruly, disturb.
ance WAS created, and the officers made
an attempt to arrest the perpetrators.
An arrest was made and the negroes
became enrsged, took the prisoner away
from the town marshal of Andersonville
and inflicted upon him wound which,
at the time. WAS thought would result
In his death. Owing to these facts, and
fearing repetition of these outrages,
and in view OF certain statements made
by the colored population, petition has
been sent to the governor asking him to
have troops on hand TO preserve order,

THE TENNESSEE GOVERNMENT.
A Nashville Editor on the Recent De.
ota

cision.
ATLANTA, Ga. May 6-Mr. G. II.
Baskette, of the Nashville Banner, ia
in the city on his way to New York.
When asked in regard to the guberna-
tional CONTEXT IN Tennessee, which has
just ended by the decision of the Joint
assembly Of the Legislature in favor of
the Democratic candidate and present
incumbent, Gov. Peter Turney, Mr..
Baskette said:
The decision in Governor Turney's
favor was purely partisan decision,
which disregsrded all rules OF fairness
and justice. The SO. called investiga-
ton was partial and unfair and cannot
be defended. Mr.. Evans, the Republic
can candidate, WAS elected as fairly as
any governor has been elected In Tennes-
see since the wsr and even the onesided
investigation showed that there were,
If any, serious frauds upo nthe Republic
can side. The irregularisy OF the failure
to exhibit poll tax receipts was charge
bale to both Democrat and publican.
There was powerful lobby, com
bination of machine influence and
splints, which WAS untiring in its labor
TO force partisan decision. The count.
Ing in Of Turney WAS done in the face
OF the protest of great majority OF Dem
ocrass who supported him in the Novem.
Der election. I want to say that the
Democracy OF Tennessee has been mis-
represented by the counting in OF Gov
ernor Turney."

minds of the schemers, and benefited
only one of their race for short time
at best.
In the fourth place, we claim that
the men that are now proposing to
give q Negro place in the dispensary
are the men who are now working
with all their powers to frame q con,
stitution that will disfranchise them.
Can we not see plainly that it is not
for love for the Negro, nor interest in
him, that prompts the promoters of
this scheme? What then is his mo-
tive? Simply to get his vote to place
rum shop on us.
In the last place, we charge fraud ;
because why the necessity of having
any such scheme at allp Can we not
simply vote on the question of dispen-
sary or no dispensary? Oh no that
would not catch enough votes for it,
and something must be done to get
them. Well, suppose they do get
them, are they not bought? Most
certainly. The white votes bought for
sympathy, and the Negro votes bought,
as they suppose, for a salary for one
man at $25 per month.
We have felt it to be our duty to
put these facts before the public, and
in so doing we feel no animosity TO
any man or set Of men; but have only
an eye single to the good of our people
and this old town, and affirm our re-
sponsibility for the sentiments herein
expressed.
We trust that all good men, of both
colors, will oppose this scheme, and
that all who respect themselves and
their votes, and who love home and
friends and our young manhood, will
stand solid phalanx against the open
ing of a State rum shop at this place.

CAUTIoUs.--It is impossible for a
clergyman to officiate at a country
funeral to the satisfaction of the rela-
tives of the deceased, unless he has
had a long acquaintance with the
family. The Orthordox clergyman OF
New England village, recently placed
in a trying position, acquitted himself
with unusual caution, if not with per-
feet success.
The occasion was the funeral Of Mr..
Follet, q prominent resident of the
place, who had died at ripe old age.
He was the third husband Of Mrs.
Follet, a woman much younger than
he.
The Toilets were regular attendants
of the Methodist church, but at the
time of Mr.. Follet's death their clergy
man was away on q months vacation.
In this emergency the family called
upon the Orthordox clergyman, who
had lately come to the village and was
almost stranger.
A neighbor instructed him hastily as
to the best qualities of the deceased,
his benevolence, piety and kindly dis
position, and gave him various points
as to his family relations. During the
funeral discourse no outsider would
have suspected that the clergyman had
not been O lifelong friend of the late
Mr.. Follet.
When he came to mention the widow
in his prayers, however, it was evident
that his data in regard to her had be-
come somewhat confused in his mind.
He said:
"And now we commend to Thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again. -
then, hesitating an instant, he added,
"and perhaps again."
