General Grant at first decidedly opposed

this opinion he might have hod his own way,
and so scoided the delay and loss of the ter

years, after all the controvert', on the sub

—Gen. Stoneman says, in his report of
the Memphis riots : "Very few Confede
rates ware mixed up with the rioters, the
larger portion being registered voters."
Scarcely a person in Tennessee can be a
registered voter unless he is "loyal," and
is a supporter of old Brownlow and his
rascally "legislature." Four fifths of the
bona Me voters have been disfranchised by
the Brownlow DisunionLstr, for their c9n
neotion with the Confederacy.• It appisara
from Stoneman's report, therefore, that It
was the "Southern Unionists" of the Brown
lon stripe who, prevented the derides from
again "hearing off the palm." This takes
much of the l'pressure"off the "reconstruct

Equally untrue is it to stigmatise the

A ROMANTIC STORY —A Memphis paper
halt quite a touching story of conjugal affec
tion. Some ten year. ago, a young couple
married, and at the end of a year, after the
.irth of a daughter, they separated and a
Otani° was obtained. For nine long years
they never heard from, or eptlke to each
other. The little girl was taught to belie
her father was dead. Two or three days
ago, as the lady and her daughter enteral a
business house in Memphis, they met the
husband and father coming out. Each
stopped and looked into the other', face.—
Then the father turned to his child, and
stooping down took her in his arms,pressed*
her to hie bosom and covered her with kis
ses, Settlnilter down, lie looked once more
into her mothers face and started to go. Ile
heard his name willed and turned. Another
look, and husband and wife were again in
each other'■ arms. They were left alone
for a few minutes, then a carriage was
sailed, and but a few minutes more bad
elapsed before they were re married.
