I'roui the proceeding* of tho lute Con-
Tention of the Republieaos of Tennessee
to uouiiuate a candidate for Governor,
have a pretty accurate exposition of the
character of the party which rules that
State. The mass of the honesty and patri
otism of the State,are disfranchised, and
ruled by llrownlovr's crew; and from all ac-
,-Duals, an intelligent and noble people
were never before oppressed, robbed and
insulted by so graceless a set of vagabonds,
ignoramuses and blackguards. 1 heir con*
dition is truly pitiable.
We subjoin the following comments from
the Ne.v York Herald, upon the proceed
ings of the Tenuessee Radicals :
These reports demonstrate that the con
vocation was among the most disgraceful of
any kind that ever assembled in the State.
Its proceedings were marked by profane
and vulgar declarations that would have
caused those who uttered them to be thrown
from the windows of a congregation of
horse thieves and cuthroats. It is abso
lutely humiliating to the whole American
people that any political organization in a
State in the Union should so outrageously
conduct itsolfin its representative capacity
ill a public hall. No term of opprobrium
is too strong to apply to blackguards who
befoul their party and their country as
these Tennessee rad cals have just done.—
Hut what is the cause of all this political de
moralization ? It can safely be user bed
to the polluted political career of such in-
tulerantiadical leaders ns Faison Brown-
low, trho, >■ itb one foot in Satan’s domin
ion and the other in the United States Sen
ate. scarcely knows which way to turn for
spiritual or political salvation.
He seems to have endeavored to make
the reigu of Satan as complete in Tennes
see as possible, in order that the contrast
might not be great hereafter. Tennessee
must repudiate such men altogether or live
in constant terror of political and social
ku kluxes until she does. Of course the
radical convention burst up in a row without
effecting a nomination—the contest being
between Scoter, the successor of Brownlow,
and Stokes, a radical member of Con
gress. Andy Joliusou did not come in
anywhere. Indeed, he seems to be no-
wliere in Tennessee just at- this time; but
it will be among the wisest acts of his life
it he manages so steer clear of every such
shameless gang of bummers as that which
baa just disgraced by their presence the
capital of the State. The radical party in
Tennessee, thus being hopelessly spilt, why
do not the ccueervatives rally uDce more
and endeavor to right the ship of State ?
We learn that Mr. Griffith has bought
out the interests of Wadsworth and Ford
in the brick wumhouse ia process of eon-
struetion at corner of Howard and Court
streets, and will complete the game as sole
proprietor.

Bard hearing of Bullock’s rfeture from

him at the Chattahoochee with two fiddlers
and a banjo, a bottle of whisky, and a wap-
rant on the Treasury They embraced one
another most affectionately, After which
Bard opened the bottle, and—there was
nothing in it. Bard was positively sober,
and the question arose, what in the devil
went with the whisky ? Undecided at this
writing. Fiddles and banjos played by
coffees struck up, “give the fiddler a dram,”
and they had a happy time to the Date
City. Kaoh rode a Velocipede—Bullock
to the Bovine Department, and Bard to the

Next day Bard killed a calf, and the un
fortunate animal went through a process of
cannibalism that was shocking to-outsidera.

Alarming Explosion of Gas.
Cincinnati has experienced a new and
alarming sensation. The city gasometer
exploded at noou yesterday, its immense
iron holder, one huudred and thirty feet in
diameter and having a capacity of half a
million of cubio feet of gas, being torn to
pieces and scattered in all diretions. One
man lost his life, a companion being fatally
injured, a number of others having, as if
in miraculous preservation, just descended
from the point of danger. The neighbor
ing buildings were scorched and shaken.—
This is a warning not only to gas fitters,
but the builders of gasomett rs. Explosions
of the subtle agent are becoming very fre
quent. Where are the inspectors.
B©_We do not suppose there, ever was.
an article so universally popular and com
mended as a fam.ly medicine, as Darby's

any one say a word against it, but all speak
in favor. *. —- —
Cuba.
The now* from Cuba which,we publish
this morning is interesting. A party of
fillibnsters, probably from the United States
seven hundred strong, effected a landing on
the hay of Nipe and were subsequently at
tacked by the Spaniards, who, after cap
turing their cannon and flag, at the point of
the bayonot, spiked the former and retired,
no doubt, as our ynnkee friends used to
say, “in good order.” This attacking force
appear-' to have numbered but one hundred
and twenty, and they report but four of
their number killed, while the loss of the
fillibusters was very heavy.
Thus the story iuns, and it should bo
borne in mind that it comes rom Havana,
and is the government version of the af
fair. That one hundred and twenty Span
iards should attack six times their number
of American* well armed, with their bat
teries in position and all fortified, is a tale trance -
for the marines, and we wait the rebel side
of it before forming any opinion.
The bay of Nipe (pronounced Nee-pi)
is on the northeast coast of Cuba, south
east of Naranjo, easy of entrance, and said
to be capacious enough to hold all the fleets
of Europe,-—Sav. Rep.
Tile Cotton Crop.
We continue to receive from all sections
most discouraging accounts of the cotton
crop. The continued cold nights and the
recent cold winds, which have prevailed
throughout the entire eastern and middle
sections of the State have caused the plant
to die, and in many localities the crop has
been plowed up and replanted in corn.
There can be no longer the slightest
doubt that the crop is at least twenty to
twenty-five days later than usual, and that
stand is generally very deficient. If the
season Bhould bceopic mprp fayorahfe at an
early day, a fair crop may he made, bit
this is quite uncertain.

The p- escnt aspeci'of Judaism through
out Christendom is well nigh astquni
according to Frof. Stowe. He bikes three
Jewish papers, two. in English -and one in
Germanj and.every week they contain ar
ticles against Christianity, very determined,
and not.onfreqoently bitter and violent.—
The Jews.are very active and,, growing - in
wealth and influence. There are ten' regu
larly employed Jlabbis in New York City,
and nearly as many synagogues. Cincin-
naii is not.behind New. York in this re
spect, and there are four or fiye in Boston.

They have schools of the highest order,

is the revocation of.the decree, of 149.5, by
which Jews were banished from Spain; the
second is the establishment of an agricultu

papers from different parts of the State al

Courts under the new laws of evidence, by
which accused persons are permitted to tes

The Southern partaf PotoRico-,Island
has been thrown into the greatest. conster

land; the center of commerce, fashion and:
wealth.-was; on the 18th ultimo, the scehe
of a fearful conflagration. The whole? of.
the principal .street .was burned to the
ground. i 1 .
The . fire had its origin in the house of
Ranmu Cortaila,a wealthy Spanish mer
chant, situated on the north aide of the
town, l All the firemen and soldiery at
once rushed to the spot; but hardly had the
engines commenced, work, when fire was
seen in the house of the C rregidor, or
Chief Magistrate,ifituated on the east side;
The. firemen and soldiers then divided, and
their attention, being diverted, the rest of
the town was at the mercy of the incendi-
aries. ,, -j Joiil < sdl
They made gobd use of their rime. The
house of a wealthy Spanish planter, named
Alviso, and theihouse of .Don Manuel To
ro, another-rich merchant, were also, fired.
Owing to a severe droughty the people snf-
feting rnooh for want.ot water, the rivers,
all being dried up; there was no water to
check the flames, and bouse after house was
swept to the ground.
Business was utterly stagnated. The
authorities, too; kept up only a. mere sem
blance of power. Moeto the troops on the
island-were raw recruits, just arrived from
Spain. Yellow fever and vomito were car
rying away hundreds of these daily.
hospitals.were filled to repletion.
- Circulars had been distributed among
the natives, informing them that all houses
marked with a “bloody hand” were doom
ed, and advis'ng those that lived near
them to remove their effects, for fear that
theflamea.mightreaeh their dwellings—
All .the houses of Spaniards were thus
marked.
By-day there was the greatest vigilance;
by night pat role constantly walked the
streets; bat the efforts to ascertain:, who
were incendiaries were attended: with little

been made even on -suspicion.

more bolder, and were only awaiting the
yellow fever and romito to cobticne a little

The annual rates chargedfor board, etc.', at
