No subject will address itself TO the consider
alton of the next Legislature of so much impo.-
lance as the election of United States Senator.
The wings should calmly consider this subject
before the meeting of the Legislature, SO that
harmony may mark their deliberations on this
subject, and so that no personal preferences
shall defeat the election of wing L. S. Senator.
1t surely would be unfortunate, and would be
too much like child's play, for each wing Nom
Der of the Legislature to go to Nashville resol-
we'd only to support his particular choice. This
would produce state of confusion which inev-
itably would result in the defeat of wing alto
gether; or if whig should thus succeed, it
might not and would not be the choice of the
wing party of the State.
Then what is the plan TO be adopted? We
will venture to suggest the following. Let eve
ry whig look to two ends as necessary to be &C
complished. First to elect the most able wing
in Tennessee-the one best calculated to serve
in the United States Senate, with honor to him.
self and eminent service to the people of the
whole Union. And at the same time let the
honor fall upon who is, most probably, the
choice of the wings of Tennessee.
Notwithstanding we have many wings in the
State who would do honor to this high position
yet none, it seems to US, can act on the prin
ciples suggested and fail to select the Hon
JoHy BELL as at once the man for the position

and the man of the people. He has already
gained the reputation of being leader in that
distinguished body-the Senate of the United
States. Since the death of Clay, Webster, and
Calhoun, John Bell is looked to as one Of the
leading spirits ST the age. Under the cireum-
stances, the people of Tennessee, as well as the
whole Union expect Mr.. Bell returned to the
Senate. He is entitled to this mark of dist;nc.
ton, as well on account of past public service,
as eminent ability to serve his country in the
future

THOUGHTS OF OTHER YEARS.
BY MRS. s. BELLE POLAND.
- The cricket chirps his evening song,
:. Within the darkened wall,
And the low wailings of the wind,
In mournful cadence fall;
The tree tops rustic mournfully
In the September rain
And bright drops patter noisily
Against the window pane.
In other years upon the roof
When rain drops gently fell
They sang to me lullaby,
Like music's gentle swell
But now afar from that bright home
With strangers only near,
They fall like tones from broken harps
Upon my listening ear.
My soul is sadly sorrowful,
e. The tears are falling fast,
While memory is turning DER
The pages Of the past.
The slightest word recalls TO me
Some treasured look OF tone,
Of friends that loved so trustingly
Ere youthful days had flown.
Twas but word or two at most,
That stirred this fount of tears,
And now my thoughts are far away,
Amid those "other years"
It's vain to try, can't forget,
Those blessed hours of youth,
For memory keeps them bright for me
In robes of Love and Truth.

RESIGNATION OF HoN CHAs. f. KEITH.-We
understand that the Hon. CHAs. F. KEITH,
Judge of this Judicial Circuit, has resigned, to
take effect Immediately after the assembling of
the Legislature. Judge Keith has been on the
Bench, except short interval, since 1919, a
period of thirty-four years. An able and pro-
found jurist and an honest, upright man, he has
discharged the duties of the station in man.
ner creditable to himself and the protection and
safety of the public interests, and has preserved
the judicial ermine unsulied and untarnished
through all that time. He has now resigned,
and we know not who will be selected to fill the
place; but the judicial mantle can fall upon no
one more worthy to wear it than he who has just
relinquished it. May his retirement be as hap
py and peaceful as his public services have
been arduous and honorable Athens Post.

friend PARHAM. No single individual has con-
tributed more to building up Chattanooga than
he has. He went there seventeen years ago,
and, we believe, first set up his Office under a
large Oak tree, when there was only prospect
of city growing up there. Now, that it is one
of the largest and most Aourishing towns in
East Tennessee, it is proper and right that a
corresponding improvement should be made in
the appearance of his paper. The political in
stincts of the Gazette are generally correct, as
instance, its warm support of Hon. John Bell

What Printers Dislike.-A printer dislikes
to hear of persons who are perfect drones in
society, who never contributed q dime to the
support of any public enterprise, who never
subscribed for paper in their lives, but are al
ways ready to pick and carry off their neighbours
paper, or to stop the carrier boy and beg one,
and then sit down on a corner and make remarks
about little typographical errors, which no one
would have noticed except man of just such
caliber.
Printers dislike to hear persons criticising on
the grammatical construction of sentences, who
cannot write paragraph of ten lines correctly.

SONG

The winds that from Monadnoek blow,
When April caps his head with snow,
Are not so cutting, not so chill
As woman can be when she will.
Yet, after all, an April snow,
Is but transient thing, we know.
The blessed breeze that round us plays
In Summers horrid torrid days,
Is not with kindness so fraught
As woman can be when she ought.
So, be she kind, or be she chill,
She's dear, delightful woman still.

The New York Day-Book of the 10th inst.
says: The foreign news was viewed unfavorable
at first, but on further reflection was held to be
more favorable. What if money is in better
demand in London, it is in great part for pur-
chaseS Of breadstuffS in our market. Money is
wanted there to spend here. This certainly
must work in our favor, so as in a few weeks to
produce here greater ease in the 'narket--to
occasion an accumulation of gold, our receipts
from California not falling off, We are advanc-
ing money to the West for produce to be resod
in Europe, which must replace those very funds
with large profit in very short time. As
soon as sufficient time elapses to do this, We
may expect easy times. As it is there is album
dant for all trading purposes, but none for new
railroad purposes. Neither the London nor
Wall street markets have any appetite to sup
ply means for such purposes.
The Philadel phia North American, of Satur
day, says: "Money continues in active demand,
without any material variation in rate, though
the tendency is toward greater ease. There is
less difficulty in placing good paper. We quote
first class short dates at 10 l-2al2 p cent, and
second class at ljalS."
The Baltimore American, of Saturday, says:
The past week has been one of great business
activity in all the departments of trede. The
late foreign advices have produced an extrsor-
binary excitement in the Flour and Coffee mar
kets, two of the largest branches of busin ess
transacted here, and very large transae-
tons have transpired during the week at con-
siderably advanced prices. The tendency of
the improved state Of our money matters has
been to produce better feeling in the money
market, and we note with pleasure the fact that
through the week money has been easier. Al
though the market cannot be said to be free
from its late stringency, the opinion is still cur
rent in well informed circles that the worst of
the pressure is over. Our banks continue to
discount, with fair degree of freedom, first
class business paper, for such parties are reg
ular customers. Call loans, on stock securities
are being made at 6 to per cent, according to
the length and character of the paper.
