Gov. Hiaisriißi, V. Johnson, it is
stated, has written a letter to a friend
of his in Atlanta stating positively
that ho will accept the nomination
for (Governor should it ho tendered
him. This creates considerable ex
citement in political circles, and will
probably demolish the plans of some
of the other candidates.
The Petersburg Indr.r says: The
following gubernatorial colloquies
may not be amiss in those times of
centennial reminiscence: What (iov.
Vance said to (iov. Smith in 1564
Was, “It’s a long time between
drinks.” And they drank. What
cx-Gov. Berkeley, of Virginia, said to
ex-Gov. Drummond, of North Caro
lina, ltiTti, was, ‘’.Sir, I am glad to see
you; you shall be hanged in half an
hour.” And he was!
The other morning, says the Knox
ville l'rexKand Herald, a husband es
corted his wife to one of the depots,
that she might start on a visit to the
country, to be gone six weeks, and a
she was about ready to enter the car,
he said: “Dear me ! hut won’t Ibe
lonesome, though!” “I rather think
vou will,”she responded, in a dry cut
ting tone, “for I’ve arranged with six
women, four policemen, and two de
tectives to keep ail eye oil you!” He
smiled, but it was a sad smile.
A Washington dispatch says Guer
rilla Mosby called oil his friend Grant
last week for his weekly chat. Grant
said to him in talking of a third term,
no matter what his feelings might
have been heretofore on a third term,
he would not under any circumstan
ces accept a third term, even if it were
tendered him. Grant lias no desire
to be vindicated. In speaking of
Belknap’s fall, he said that his dis
graced Secretary had been seduced by
women.
A Photographer of Lyons, France,
is credited with a discovery of im
mense importance. It is nothing less
than a method of photographing col
ors or producing naturally colored
pictures. The usefulness of the pro
cess in science will he vastly increased
by this new application of it, while a
broad field is opened in the region of
art. The reproduction of landscapes
with their natural coloring, and of
the paintings of the old masters, in
stantly suggest itself. No more oc
casion for deftly “retouching” photo
graphic likenesses with the ai tist's
brush. Those who do not like tlieir
complexion can paint before they sit.
From 1789 down to 1873, accord
ing to the report of the secretary of
the treasury, §104,705,103 45 have
been appropriated by congress for
railroads, canals and wagun roads.
OF this sum West Virginia. Virginia,
North Onrolina, Houtli Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tenn
essee—-in all twelve States—have re
ceived only §3,24G,8G1 5(3. Of this rel-
nfively small amount 'West Yirgiuia,
Texas and Geoi‘gia.have received not
a single dollar; South Carolina only
$9,901 (12, Tennessee $5,000 and Vir
ginia $57,538 27. The government
has gathered a large amount of reve
nue in the South, and expended it
elsewhere. Let congress aid our At
lantic and Groat Western canal, and
we will not grumble about the bal
ance due this section.
The M.xxifbstjvj'iox at Syracuse.—
The manifestation at Syracuse of
opposition to Gran turn), by whatsoev
er name it may be called, amounted,
in number'-, to nearly one-third part
of the Convention. It was emphasi
zed and made Mgnificant by having
for its more conspicuous mouthpiece
and ostensible leader a persistent
and obsequious partisan who held on
to Grant's coat tails until they
became so rotten that they broke;
off.
It is now celarer than ever that the
number of persons in the Republican
party who are dissatisfied with the
present condition of things is very
large. The Democrat party is not
more harmonious.
The practical question arising from
this state of affairs is whether the
large opposition element existing in
both parties can be made available in
the election of President. There are
probably men enough in the two par
ties, taken together, in favor of some
such candidate as Bristow or Davis to
elect him by a large majority if the re
quisite organization existed to con
centrate their votes. But at, present
they labor under the fatal disadvan
tage of having no party machinery.
There is, possibly, time enough yet to
remedy this defect ; but we suppose
the opportunity will not be improved j
unless it becomes evident that
both parties are going to nomi
nate until candidates.—A 7 . T. Sun
Lelter From Washington.
Washington, 1). ('., March 24,187(1.
The good work in Congress still!
goes bravely on. The democrats are
determined that a complete expose of
the corruptions of Radicalism shall l>e [
made.,. Mr. Yates in his speech
Thursday said, "Thcv would fight it
out. on ■ his line if it takes all the j
summer.” This is the true theory.
If Congress will fully and fairly venti
late the rascalities of the past few
years, the people will turn from Rad
icalism with disgust, because they
will see it is hut another name for
thieving. One thing the committees
should remember, that whenever the
indications are that a democrat has
been a party to any of this rase ditv
that he should ho treated exactly as
the Radicals are and exposed without \
fear or favor. What the people want 1
is the certainty that they will have
honest men in office. They do not
care so much for the name—will not
inquire what his politics may be, but
whether hois honest and competent.
They want a return to the Jefferso
nian doctrino of “fitness.” The dem
ocrats in tho House can prove their
earnestness for this reform—this re
turn to first principles, by exposing
democratic thieves should they find
| any, tlieir sincerity will bo justly
doubted should they attempt to shield
any such. So far the record of the
House is good, though not so good as
it should have been. Tho finance
differences in the party should have
been settled sooner; after a long time
they have agreed but thev should not
have been so tardy in doing it. Then
they have in some instances deferred
too much to what might, or might not
be popular in the campaign. Prompt
and united action on their part, would
have given popularity to any good
! measure. This lias been most notably
| shown in the bill to aid in the con
struction of the Texas and Pacific
Railroad. The committee long since
agreed upon a bill, which all, who
have considered the question fully,
agree would be of incalculable benefit
to the country, and yet this bill is re
tarded, because there are some, who
admitting its necessity, are afraid that
it might injure “the party” to bring it
forward. When the boast of Jav
: Gould’s men, that “they would spend
j a car load of money to defeat t his
bill,” is remembered, tho men who
cause this delay make themselves lia
ble to unpleasant comments. Then
the appropriation bills have been de
: layed too much. It is true that it re
quired an immense amount of labor
to get all the data necessary to make
the proper reductions from the ex
travagant radical estimates, but with
more help it could have been done
I earlier. I make these comments be
cause our democratic papers should
speak frankly so that the Congress
men can know what the peoplo ex
pect of them. No elaborate platform
building in Congress is wanted, all
that is needed to secure victorv’and
good government, is an honest ex
posure of the present one. And
therefore I say that while Congress
has done well, it might have clone bet
ter.
Marsh lias returned and testified
before the Judiciary Committee, which
1 will present the articles of impeach
ment against Belknap, to the Senate
!on Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week. Hi* testimony lias been taken
before the Grand Jury and it is sup
posed that the indictment and trial
! for bribery will follow the impeach
ment trial.
The Republican Senators have de
termined to resist the reductions of
expenditures made, in the House, a
caucus was held on the subject and
this determination is the result of that
caucus. They will claim that the re
dnction proposed will impair the effi
ciency of the civil service and will use
l as their campaign argument on this
subject the stale cry that the demo
crats are trying to cripple the govern
ment. This is to be an adjunct to
“the bloody shirt,” which it seems is
to be the banner under which the ;
radical cohort will march no matter !
who may be their standard bearer.
The action of the New York Conven
tion in endorsing Conkling is a seri
ous blow to Blaine, as Conkling hates
Blaine and if he can not be nomina
ted himself will use the delegation
from his State to defeat Blaine.
Among Democratic candidates for the
St. Louis nomination, the name eff
Judge Thurman is now very promi
nent, perhaps more so than that of |
any one else except Gov. Hendricks.
Tildeu seems to have been dropped,
though when the convention meets
lie will be a most formidable competi
| tor, and Pendleton is out of politics

Tobacco Culture.
Knoxville Press anil ll.‘raid.]
East Tennessee farmers are yearly
' giving the cultivation of this staple
more attention, and the area planted
this year will be greatly in excess of
i tnat of former yeais. That East Tenn
essee is well adapted for the success
ful raising of tobacco, and that the
crop is profitable those who have triad
it all bear witness. Heretofore the
j only drawback has been a home mar
ket for the cured leaf. The establish
ment of factories at Knoxille and oth
er convenient points, will remove this
difficulty; and when the crop is suffi-
I cientlv large to attract to onr city
buyers from a distance, we may safely
| predict that tobacco planting will be
come an important in lastly. The
great capacity of the West as a pro*-
: ducer of grain, and the facilities en
joyed by it for conveying its products
: to the market, upon which our farm
ers have heretofore depended, has
made the corn crop more or less an
unprofitable one when in excess of
what can be utilized upon the planta
tion in the feeding of stock. Tubacco
will not be similarly affected, at least
! to the same exteut, as its bulk is
much less in proportion to its value
than that of grain, and the difference
in freight between Knoxville and oth
er tobacco sections, and the markets
to which it is sent, is not sufficient to
make any perceptible difference in its
value. There is still another reason
why we should increase the crop of
tobacco, and we think a very cogent
i one. Tobacco never goes so low in
price but that it can be so’d for ex
■ port and the cash brought b: c’: in ex
■ change. And this is what East Tenn-
I essee needs. Something to sell that
will draw the money to us from other
sections. This is the only way in
which wo can keep out of debt. Sim
ply supplying a hums demand with
out selling something to bring in
fresh money, we can never make(**'
section rich, no matter to what extent
it is carried. There is a constant out
lay going on in the way of faxes and
'or those commodities we arc com
pelled to buv abroad that must be
met by a corresponding income from
exports, or ” e become poorer from
day to day.

Another Scheme of Plunder.
President Urant. Prince Fred ami Sec
retary ltorie in tile Pot.
A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the New York World, gives the
details of more administration rascal
ity. It says:
A now scheme of plunder, in which
, the names of President Grant, ex-Soc
retnry Borio, Fred Grant and other
prominent administration persons are
mentioned, lias come to light. The
statements of the ease, as vouched for
! by John C. Fitnam, a prominent law-
Ivor in Colorado Territory, in a letter
I written to Mr. Clymer, chairman of
the committee on expenditures in
the War Department, are these: It
has been the common subject of con
versation fora long time iti the south
ern part of Colorado that land frauds,
involving thousands of acres of the ;
public domain in Los Animas county,
have been committed by the parties
who control the Denver and Rio,
Grande Railway Company. These
frauds have boon committed with the |
connivance and collusion of govern
ment land officers at Pueblo, Col.,
in this city. Immense tracts of land
have been entered without the pre
tense of compliance with the preemp
tion laws by perjury and subordina
tion. William L. Jackson, President
of the Denver and Rio Grande Rail
way Company, holds the title to ex
tensive areas of public lands in Los
: Animas county ns trustee for the
| company, upon which, as rdleged, no
j settlement or improvement was ever
made in compliance with law. Many
honest settlers have been defrauded
of their improvements. Many tracts
of coal lands, worth from ten to twen- 1
ty dollars per acre, have been entered
as agricultural land and the govern
ment defrauded of the difference.
The Denver and Rio Grande Railway
Company is a corporation composed
jhietiy of wealthy Philadelphia and
London capitalists, who, according to
authentic statements, form one of the.
most disagreeable monopolies in the
West. The people of Colorado com
i plain bitterly of the way in which the
| road is managed in llie interests of its
\ owners and to the manifest detriment
j of the parties who should bo heue
j fited by it. It is charged that Presi
: dent Grant has invested money either
. directly or indirectly in these land
speculations, and it is a matter of no
| secrecy that the President is a stock
holder in the Denver and Rio Grande
Railway. The Commissioner of the
General Land Office lias affidavits, re
ports, etc., on file in relation to this
matter, and H. C. Alleman, of Wash
ington, late United States Attorney
for Colorado, will be subpoenaed to
give all the information in his pos
session pertaining to this matter. An
investigation will be made by the
Committee on Public Lands, of which
Mr. Saylor is chairman. -It will un
doubtedly show, as every other inves
tigation lias done, a bonanza of cor
ruption, with the main lode entering
the door of the White House. Some
of the residents of Trinidad, Cal., have
made ineffectual efforts to have the
subject investigated by the land office |
at Pueblo.
M ionv tiie R iviv.u.isT. — For the
first time since the starting of the
Hippodrome revival, Brother Moody
has just preached on the subject of
hell. Previously he had hardly over
alluded to hell, though lie had often
refered to the devil; but be said he
felt impelled to take it up once.
Even in dealing with it, lie differed
! from all the revivalists of onr time
1 who have used it in terrorizing their
hearers. He did not picture its tor
ments, nor harrow up the mind with
descriptions of the writhing of its vic
tims, as Ivuapp and Finney used to
do; but took the ground that the
miseries there would come from the
memory of their e>il deeds in this life.
It looked as though he did not like to
' say much upon the subject; and bis
whole ser uloll about it was lacking in
that fervid heat which the presenta
tion of the hell doctrine ordinarily
.• vised in the minds of preachers who
take delight in descanting upon it.
It is something novel to see an exten
sive revival carried on for such a
length of time with so little refer
ence to the infernal world.
Brother Moody evidently believes
that sinners can be reached through
other motives than fear of damnation;
and his success as a revivalist is his
proper answer to those who*remon
strute with him for so believing. He
is particularly fond of preaching
about heaven; and he dwells upon its
allurements in a wav which, though
not equal to that of the great divines
who possessed a rich imagination, is
yet attractive to the ordinary run of
sinners. It isa remarkable fact that
lie had fewer anxious inquirers on the
day he preached about hell than he
has had on most other days of the re
vival.—N. Y. Slttn.

In the ease of Foster, the murderer,
who was hung, I foretold his end

Falling hack into my father's arms, I
could hardly enunciate: “Oh! that

too, when I was in prison I had n
conversation with Stokes, and
through the bars detailed the whole
course of his trial and that lie would
never be hung. But speaking of this
reminds me that on another occasion
my sister and myself were sitting in
a box at the Grand Opera House in
New York, when I was informed that
Mr. Fisk wished to speak to mo. As 1

AMUSING lIKVALATIONS OF A I.OMJYIST.
Hawkins Taylor, formerly of lowa,
hut now a resident of this city, was
asked his occupation, to which he
replied : “Anything that would
pav.”
Tho chairman said. “In other
words, a lobbyist?" A. —Yes.
The witness gnve an account of the
lobbv operations. In’tlio first, place
Dr. F. G. H. Bradford wanted n post
trndership, and the influence of t lie j
Maine delegation, with tho exception
of Mr. Morrill, was secured for the
purpose, together with that of Mr.
Chaves, at that time the delegate from
New Mexico. Dr. Bradford paid the
witness §IOO for his services. The
witness did not like the looks of Brad
ford, who appeared like a man who
had been drinking, but lie was told ,
tbut he had given up the habit. The
witness sain that if an applicant, was
a good Republican lie wanted him to
he appointed.
Q. Was that essential?
A No: I had indorsed persons
, not Republicans. I look Bradford’s
papers and laid them before the Sec
retary of War, and told him my im
pression of Bradford. The Secretary
said ho had concluded to appoint
Bradford, ns he would like to do a
good act for Senator Hamlin. The
Secretary said if Bradford did not
keep sober lie would dismiss him at
one". Bradford sold the trndership
for fifteen hundred dollars, and did a
‘ good many things he should hot have
done. I advised the Secretary to dis
miss Bradford, which lie did.
In replv to a question the witness
said: “If Bradford had paid me one!
thousand dollars I would have given
that advice to the Secretary,”
Q. —What, other post-tradorsliip did
vou procure?
A For R. M. Stevens, at Fort
Stanton. Mv impression is I got one
hundred and twenty-five dollars for
the service. Delegate Chaves claim
ed that all the post traders in New
Mexico were Democrats, and he want
led Republicans in tlieir places. I
took a great, deal of interest in these
matters. Somebody notified the Sec
retary of War that Stevens was a com
mon gambler or an average New
Mexican. Stevens never took pos
session of the post, and somebody else :
got the place. I tried to have a man j
appointed nost, trader at Fort Will
gate, but did not succeed. I wanted
to have Mr. Spoidlebtirg appointed,
but the Secretary said lie could not
I appoint two traders at one post.
Speidleburg promised me §I,OOO. I
got one hundred and fifty. I some-;
times did better when I di 1 not suc
ceed in obtaining appointments than i
when I did. I worked earnestly to
have Col. John N. Miller appointed
post, trader at Fort Bayard.
Q —Did you succeed ?
A—Yes. He said he would pay
me $1,500. I told him I would lie
satisfied with SI,OOO. and he paid it
like a man. When Bradford was re
moved I urged the brother iff DAo
gateChnos for the place, and he was
appointed. I never got anything for
niv service in till; ease, f never had
any partners.

is of a high order.
Q —But yon both stand on the same

offer the Secretary any money ?
A—l would not have dared to of
fer the Secretary anything.
In further response to questions,
witnesS said: In the SI,OOO c ise I do
not know how much work I did. The
gentleman (Mr. Miller) was from
lowa, and a friend of mine and of
Colonel Bnrdott, and was indorsed by
Republicans. I felt an interest in the
matter apart from the SI,OOO, for ev
erybody knows I will serve a friend.
Q —Especially when there’s a thou
sand dollar fee ?
A—l was offered a good deal more
than iny friend Miller offered me bv
other parties. I asked the Secretary
of War to make the appointment, as
my friend was a good and true man.
Q —Did you follow the Secretary of
War from lowa to Washington ?
A—No. He followed me here.
[Laughter.] There was no man in
whom I had more confidence than I
had in the Secretary of War. He
was a Democrat when I was a Whig
and a Republican.
Q —What is he now?
A ; —An earnest Republican.
The chairman invited Mr. Taylor to
appear again if ho should have any
more information of a like character
to communicate to the committee.
An adjournment took place until to
morrow.
