JOSEPH BARBIERE. FOE FLOATS B, J. W. ELDRIDOE- The enfant terrible-it at large. At mass meeting held at Nashville last Sat urday the great "circle swinger" an nounced his determination to stump the State as a candidate for Congressman for the State at large. Andrew Johnson is a man of unquestionable ability, and notwithstanding his furious loyalty dis played when military Governor of Ten- nessee, he deserves credit for his light on the impeachment question against the leaders of the Republican party, whose nominee and candidate he was at the time of his election to the Vice Pres idency. He is outspoken on . U ques tions except one, and his lips have been ever sealed on that, notwithstanding the , "calls" upon him to ris and explain. That is the part he took in the murder of Mrs. Surratt. This may be the grinning, ghastly skeleton in the Andy Johnson household a thing of terror, of which it is impossible to speak. Public opinion has fastened this terrible crime upon the ex President, and it is to be hoped that in his Memphis speech he will not only be able but willing to clear his skirts of the bloody deed; if not, it may be said to bim as was said to Robespierre: " Wretch! the blood of Danton chokes thee!" ' The effect of the Grant dynasty in the South is well shown up by the New York Express, in commenting on the absence of public schools in South Carolina out side of municipalities: "The rotten State Government of South Carolina has 10 plundered the treasury as to de stroy the school system. The ignorant negro and carpet-bag legislators get six dollars day for cocking their heels on mahogany and walnut, while the black and white children for education receive just nothing. Even the insane asylum is closed for lack of support, and the penitentiary will have to be closed also, if the carpet baggers govern much longer Whenever there is an improvement there - is enormous taxation, and hence the im provements going on in the State. So ignorant a government does not exist this side of Africa, nor a more corrupt one on the whole globe. The whole ma chine, of course, is for Grant, with a Governor belonging to Columbus, Ohio, and living most offensively as a carpet bagger per se at Columbia, S. C. The public debt has been increased since Scott came into power from seven mil lions to twenty-two and a half millions." Tug dual man has been clearly fore shadowed by Yon Humboldt in the fol lowing paragraph: "Every man, how ever good he may be, has a yet better man dwelling within him, which is prop erly himself, but to whom, nevertheless, he is often unfaithful. It is to the inte rior and less mutable being that we should attach ourselves, not to the changeable every day man." "Von Hum boldt should have written up his reflec tions on the American politician a hu man wheel within wheels a number of gentlemen at once; a chap who is all things to all men, but who is perfectly in leve with the man dwelling within him self. Tot Collierville troubles turn out to have been " Much Ado About Nothing " Whisky and fear were the instigators of the fearful riot that even our city re porters could not bring into existence. A war between the races at Collierville would be an irreparable injury to the Liberal cause at the present time. Those disposed to indulge in riots should be arrested and confined as public enemies. We want peace, not war. The Nashville Banner is out " Colo neling" in the following style: The thirty or lorty iemocraiic oiaie w ventions held in this unfortunate State during the present oppressive summer produced the largest number of Colonels that have ever been collected together, and, generally speaking, they wer the seme old Colonels. I The English Parliamentary press has issued a blue book, containing the re port of the Lord, Chancellor of the Com missioners on Lunacy, which shows that the ratio of increase is rising rapidly, The proportion ot .insane persons .,. ia annua IT increasing at an u comfortably steady rate of progression from one hundred ana eignty-aix per thousand in 1859 to two uunurea ana fifty-four in 1871. Should the propor tion he maintained iu time to come simple rule and sum in arithmetio will show in how many years aver otnc m.n nuniB and child in England an Wales will be qualified for admission to a lunatic asylum.' The self styled politioal philosophers -hn indulge in newsDaner correspond km and settle national questions in i single paragraph, have been unusually Ii-.1 this season. Dreary effusions reach us daily "Such .tuff as dreams . marin of" makinr nothing clear except the ignorance of the writers on the subjects sought to be discussed. Many of these gentlemen undertake to instruct editors on the- outlook, chances of success and general drift of politics an undertaking that but displays tne nrnfound vanity of the writer's on sub jects that they have but superficially in vestigated. ' The "Maid of Orleans" (New York), Tennie Claflin, Colonel of a nigger Tegi ment, spouts as follows: "I have seen olnlrvnvantlT that within two rears there - will be inaugurated a war more bloody and cruel than the world has seen for centuries. It will be a war of liberalism against statecraft and priestcraft. I shall command my regiment, shall '( be wounded. DerhaDS killed, in the con flict." The death of the head-center of Woman's Rightsism at the head of her African trooDS would be deplorable. She does not clairvoyantly state qa which side of the contest she will fall to rise no more. Finn lbs annual reoort'of the Com- of Education in Ireland, it appears that on December 31, 1870, there were 6086 schools in operation, 998.999 children on their toIIb, with an average attendance of 359,199. On December 31, 1861, there were 6914 schools in operation, having 1,021,700 children on their rolls with an average daily attendance of 363,850. The in crease in ote Tear was, therefore: Schools, 105; pupils, 22,701; scholars in aily attendance, 4,651. . ' ' j 1 i The political contest in Shelby county ,nd counties of this the Ninth Congres- ional district will not be very exciting. In the county Messrs!" Greer, Haynes, Harris, Gammon, Overton, Barbiere and F.Mridire will be elected representatives. and Messrs. King, Crews and Smith as Senators. . The Congressional race be tween Haynes,' Conservative; Lewis, Radical; and Kellar, independent Lioe- .1 Ronnhlican. will result as follows: Haynes first (by heavy majority), LewU second, Kellar distanced. Governob Koerker is incurring the censure of Administration journals by having the audacity to speak in Ger man to Germans! One of these indig nant sheets says it is "a very mean dodge for the purpose of reaping a per sonal benefit by misrepresentation." According to the Grantites it becomes a erime to speak to the Germans in their native tongue, it being, according to these native American demagogues, a most (available medium of 'ciroulating " misrepresentations" and slanders. A note from a lady has been received by the British Academy of Science, with the information that she has at " last found the principle which divides the finite from the infinite, or rather the link which connects the man of the sublunar world with the monkey of the infinite world. The price demanded for the grand secret is one million pounds sterling, and to the everlasting shame and disgrace of the Academy it has re fused to make the purchase. The latest political paradox is that the death of Juarez, the Indian, who was believed to be the only man who could successfully govern the Mexicans, has brought profound peace to his distracted country. The insurgents have grounded their arms, and all parties have united under President Tejada. Peace pre vails, but for how long a time if the conundrum. The Tilton way of charging Grant with drunkenness is polite in the ex treme: "We believe that President Grant and Horace Greeley (taken together) drink about as much wine and other liquors as any other two average im bibers, of which aggregate quantity, however, Mr. Greeley drinks none at all." Mass meetings before breakfast were introduced into the campaign recently by the citizens of Rock port, Ind., where three thousand people assembled before breakfast to bear a speech from Carl Schurx. This is a novelty in politics, hut the Indiana early birds had deter mined to gobble up the early political worm. A Graxt worshipper calls him a "Christian Sage." This is coming it rather strong over Christianity. In a few weeks it will be said that the Sage drinks Christian cocktails, smokes ortho dox cigars and admires horses and bull pups from an ecclesiastical standpoint A West Tekxessee cotemporary well says that the revolution now progressing is a revolt agaiat) sectionalism, with all its evil brood of hatreds and prejudice. Necessarily it involves the overthrow of the parties that were dominant in the land, because both had become sectional. Dr. Livingstone started from England on the expedition in which he is still en gaged in April, 1SC5. He left the Inland of Zanzibar for the main coast of Africa in March, 186G, and having organized his little party, started for the interior on the 7th of April following.

A Herald special from Geneva says the work the Court of Arbitration is drawing to close. All legal arguments of counsel have been submitted to the court, and. accountants are engaged in calculati the amount of damages occasioned by the operations of each one of the Angl lo- Amarican rebel cruisers.

' Deeper! Pi la) Fight. New Yore, August 26. A prize fight for a stake of 1300 was fought at Wee hawken, New Jersey, yesterday morn ing, between Martin Crow and Jerry Murphy. Twenty-one rounds were fought in forty-seven minutes, and a more desperate encounter between fistic professionals . was scarcely ever wit nessed in Jersey. The men fought with great determination, and with little re gard for the roles of the ring. Murphy was declared victor, but both men pre sented pitiable sights after the battle, and there is a probability that Murphy's wounds will prove fatal. Discovery of at If ew Planet. New York, August 26. A dispatch from the Litchfield Observatory at Clin ton, N. Y., says another new planet was discovered on the night of the 23d inst., making the 124th of a group of asteroids. It was a very bright showing star of the tenth magnitude, and its position one hour after midnight was in 22hrs. 21min. 22sec. of the right ascension, and in 7deg. 18min. 30sec. of the south declin ation. ' , Doc Days. The " dog days," like many other su perstitions, are coupled back to a very remote antiquity by the populace. In Memphis at .present " dog days " , are fatal to the unmuzzled canine' race. The "dog star" Sirius is unjustly dealt with by being held accountable for the intense heat and the rabid dogs. The connection between Sirias and anything on earth is fancilul in the extreme a popular conceit one that does not recognize astronomical disceveries, the results of scientific investigations. For warm-weather reading a few sentences about the dog star and dog days may not be objectionable to man, and cer tainly will be indorsed by the howling friends and relatives of murdered ca nines. A writer in Cassel'a Magazine has collated some botes, supplemented by facts. According to this writer the dog days are over: " It was observed some three thousand years ago, more or less, that twenty days before the dog star rose 'heliacally,' or with the sun, the rising of the Nile commenced, and thence the name dog star, in allusion to a watch dog seeing danger and warning people of its approach. The inhabitants of tracts subject to overflow took the warning and removed. As coincidence is very apt to be confounded with cause and effect, and as the overflow of the river, whatever advantage it conferred upon agriculture, had the reverse influence npon health, the dog star came in o( course for the blame of the malarious influences. Twenty days before and twenty days after the 'heliacal' rising Wttre marked off as ' dog-days ' in the calendar. . Greece and Rome imported the superstition from Egypt, and we have inherited the notion from them. For centuries the dies caniculares, or 'dog days,' of thelUman calendar were received in Europe and in this country. They began about the first of July, and closed about the middle of August. Precise dates in common English old- fashioned almanacs give the third of July as the first of the dog-days, and eleventh of Aogust as the last. From these facts it is apparent that the dog star has but little to do with hydropho bia. If the dog star rages, let her; we can't help it. No one will venture to muzzle her or distribute dog-buttons in ber pathway. Hew Been lions . 1 J. S. Hatcher J: Co., printers, book sellers and stationers, wholesale and re tail, No. 315 Main street, respectfully invite the attention of the public to the fact that their new book store, No. 315 Main street, will be opened on Monday, the 26th instant, with an entirely new stock of books and stationery.

Having been selected by them personally, and with much care, in the North and East, they feel assured it cannot be surpassed, if equaled, in the South. Their stock embraces every ar ticle to be found in a first-class book house, and they desire to call especial attention to their stock of miscellane ous, theological, law, school and blaak books and stationery. They respectfully ask the public to call and examine b fore purchasing elsewhere. IxsrRlKCC.

Edward Tate has a fondness for melons,' which is in no wise decreased by the present ethereal mildness. Ed used to be a farm hand, and remember, to have often heard it said among the rustics that.it was no harm to steal watermelons. Operating npon this suggestion, Ed used to steal watermelons every summer rather than raise them himself. Going into market Saturday evening he saw some melons that first "took his eye," and ho took the watermelons. The Recorder told Ed this morning that it would, require a bond of $2000 to keep, him out of the county jail, and as Ed coulda tgive such a bond he had to go. . Cottino Affrat. Ellen Stone and Maggie Reed, two denizens of . Hell's Half-Acre, had a row yesterdoy which came near resulting seriously.' Ellen had donned her bestgo-to-meetings, sup plied with the traditional razor, and was glorying in the sensation she created while gliding" gracefully down Deboto street, the cynosure of all eyes, when Maggie Reed, an envious female, jostled against her and excited Ellen's wrath. Words ran high for a few momenta, but the quarrel was suddenly terminated by Ellen .drawing a razor and going for Maggie pretty strongly. The Recorder committed Ellen this morning in default of fi 0,000 bail. ' ' ' : Serious Accipent. A man named Joe Earley fell from the third-story win dow of a boarding,-house, corner of Cen ter alley and Market street, about one o'clock this morning and broke both his arms, besides sustaining other inju ries. He is a boiler maker by trade, and.it is said, boards with Fred. Mc Grath, foot of Exchange street. JThi Old Folks.
