CAUTION.


TIE caution in the following paragraphs from the
Murfressboro Nsaos is timely. The illusions will
be understood by all who have heard Mr.. P. S.
WHITE:
A WORD OF CAuTIoN.-Just now, while an ex-
citing political contest is going on, of deep interest
to the citizens of this commonwealth. we discover
that there are an unusual number of men from
abroad engaged in speaking, lecturing and bar.
arguing the people, on Subjects too, more or less
connected with the issues involved in the present
canvass. These orators are from other States,
mostly north of US. Whether so designed or not
their efforts appear to us foul play in what ought
to be fair fight a thing that no true Tennessean
can look upon with Indifference
Are the people of this proud and patriotic State
incapable of selecting their own Governor and Leg
islators? Must instructors, paid probably out OF
funds, designed for other purposes be employed to
teach the citizens of our State how to vote? Il
no evil be intended by these lecturers, this caution
will do no harm. Should it be their design to die.
tate to the unsuspecting voters of the State, it will
be in time, and appropriate. We want nothing
but fair play, and we ask noble, generous and
fair minded deople to see that we obtain it. This
is all we desire. Let foreigners not interested keep
hands off, ....

whether the administration is pursuing the course
stated by them or not. But we do know that the
man who has taken the proscriptive know-nothng
oath ought to be turned out of office whenever the
opponents of know-nothingism have the power to

States that have not yet elected gave 46 votes for
the bill, and will it is supposed, return new men,

voting for it-l9, making in all 100 Nebraska men
The whole number of representatives is 234, and,
according to the Journals showing, the House will
have quite large anti-Nebraska majority; though
the Senate, if its members vote asheretoore, stands
the other way.

~ Much excitement prevails in Maine and
Massachusetts, in relation to the liquor laws Of
those States The Lowell Courier states that on
Monday night of last week two-horse Boston
wagon, laden with five casks of liquor, was seized
in Central Street by the light police, and the driver
and Mr.. JOHN JOHNSON who was riding with him
were arrested and locked up in the watch-house
In the morning the liquor was on its way to New
Hampshire, an interesting and important question
is made as to the right Of property in tanstu be-
tween the States. But for Portsmouth harboI
New Hampshire could import no liquor save
through Maine or Massachusetts,.

The district in which he lives has long been join

CuRIoUs TYPoeRAPHIcAL ERRoR.-Prof Trench,
in his latest work on the English language, points
out curious typographical error in the 10th verse
of the 23d chapter of Matthew. The words, (which
strain at gnat and swallow camel" the professor
thinks contain msprint, which having been passed
over in the edition of 1911, has held its ground
ever since. The ranslators intended to say (which
strain out gnat and swallow camel" that being
the correct rendering of the original as it appears
in Tynsdale's and Cranmer's TRANSACTIONS both of
which have strained out" 1t was the custom of
the stricter Jews to strain their wne vinegar and
other potables, through linen or gauze lest una
wares they should drink down some little unclean
insect as gDat, and thus transgress the Levitcal
law. 1t was to this custom the Saviour alluded,
intending to say that the Scribes and Pharisees,
while they strain out gnat from their drink would
yet swallow camel at q gulp.

H Gov. WISE, of Virginia, has written q let
ter to the Democratic Granite Club, of Boston, of
which he has been elected an honorary member, in
which he says: EL
"Please accept for the Club my grateful acknowl.
Judgments and convey to it the expression of my
heartfelt Joy that there are still left in Massachusetts,
friends of freedom and conservative Democracy
enough to eympsthize with those everywhere, and
here particularly. who are struggling to maintain
the faith of the fathers Of the Republic in all the es
sential matters of politics and religion. Be steady,
be irm-organize and be vigilant, and we yet shall
see the country safe.
He has also written another letter, which has
been published declining to partake of public
banquet to be given by his Democratic friends in
Washington City. From it we make the following
extract:
81 would gladly go there and meet friends to
consult upon the means of mildly calling all good
men together for patriotic purposes, while bad men
are banding in secret conclaves TO give the State
up to prescription, and the church--the blessed
Protestant church-up to pollution. But gentle
men, I cannot. The late canvass nearly cost me
my life."
