MORE Truth THAN PoETRY.-TEe
Columbus Corner Stone advances
the following emphatic opinion on q
very popular error:
We do not at all recognize The dec
trine that any man has any Claims
upon The country. We hear great
depl about mems having saved the
country, but in niuety-nine eases in
hundred it is aIl gammon-the
country has saved them. Yet, when
this has been the case, they claim
that they have saved the country, aud
make that the foundation of another
claim. 1t is something singular that
those men who, in rnocking humility,
Call themselves, public servants, az
ways claim What they want for the
present. as pay for services rendered,
and every payment made by the pub
lie serves only TO increase the debt.
Government never cancels the debt
| that it incurs BY once giving employ
ment or comforting honor upon a
man. It's true that men do some
times serve the country, but they
much oftener serve the party, and IN
both cases those who do the most
real service gen rally get the least
pay.

THE DISCUSSION.
Democratic Victory!

The candidates for Governor ad-
dressed he people, according to ap-
point ment, at the court bouse in
this place on Wedn' lay Of last
week. The crowd was large and
respectful attention WIS given 10 the
speakers.
We do not design TO give detail
ed report Of the discussion, SIS our
yeaders are familiar, from reports pub
lished in these columns, with tie
points of the debate. Gov. Harris
led off in speech Of great power
and ability. lie showed BY facts
from tie record that this country
owes lis prosperity TO the Democrat
ic party, aud that to it snd it alone
can the South look with safety fol
future security.
Col. Netherland dwelt principally
upon the expenditures and eXlrava.
gance Of the federal government
while under Democratic rule Gov
Harr S reply to him, upon this sub
ject, was perfectly satisfactory. He
showed that the Democracy as a
party had invariably voted for re.
trenchmeut, reform, and an economi-
Cal expenditure of the public treasu
ry, while the Opposition have as inva
riably voted for using the public
money extravagantly-
Gov. Il, in support Of this posi-
ton. read from the records Of Con
gress, 10 prove each one Of his as
sertions, and did not fsil to satisfy
all present of the truthfulness o
his statements. Upon the Niger
question. Col N. said but little. Hc
denounced It as humbug, and SAID
that all parties in Tennessee vert
sound upon that subject Gov, II
met this position by showing tina
the Democratic party had always
been sound upon the slavery question
and read extracts from many leading
Opposition journals in the United
States to show that the Black lie
rublicans we're seeing an alllane'
with the AmeIiean or Opposition
party South, for the purpose OF de
feating the national Democracy II

THE NEXT HoUsE.-The Washing
fen correspondent. Of the Memphis
Appeal writes as follows Of the or
ganization of The next House, which
is Opposition in politics:
The Opposition also succeeded in
electing one in Virginia and defeat
ing Faulkner, The late member by a
small majority, although the district
gives Leicher a decided mnior;ty.-
AS was evident, long since, the
Black Republicans and Know Moth
ings will have n minority in the next
House, under he name of Opp0si-
ton, and in It's organization will Sc
cure the election OF their candidates.
It is supposed that the Black Repub-
leans viii insist on the election Of
Grow as Speaker, giving the clerk to
the Opposition from the South. The
next House being Opposition will
work to the advantage Of the Dem
ocratic party, as we will be likely TO
have a repetition Of the stealing and
enormous useless expenditures Of the
House that elected, Banks Speaker.

GAIL Them QUIZ

The most clearly defined portion
OF the bri~f record Of the Opposi-
ton candidate for Governor is that
which relates TO the exemption laws.

Try Candidate Cor the Legislature
For it must be remembered that
while the Opposition, with Col. Meth
er!and st tbtir head. are opposed to
the reservation by the Legislature of
any power over banking ard other
corporations. they are in favor Of a
reservation OF power BY which tie
81 roc of;he unfortunate farm rand
the las; impl. ments of trade Of the
mechanic. may b. subjected to exc
icG;ion. The question Ue suggest is
therefore a pertinent one. Col.
Ne,berland has voted for repeal. He
does no, believe in the sort Of "yes-
ted rights which would enable the
poor man 10 save his last Doe or the
tools Of "A In chaEical trade. HIS
veneTaiian for vested rights is only
manifested when the charter Of q
banking corporation IS 10 daoger.-
We are noi afraid of his election as

laws, rendered BY the Opposition

will require an effort for their repeal.
Believing. as ve do, and as we always
have believed, that these laws are as
Hise, locking at them Only ia the
light Of sound political economy,
as they ere henignant, when they are
defended for iheir humanity, we urge
that the Opposition candidates for the
Legislature be called out, and foseed
to take position in regard TO their
continuance. The enthusiasm of Col.
Netherland and his friends for the
"vested rights" Of sOulless corpora
tons should not cause us to forget
the higher right Of the poor man
to the means, with proper industry,
Iof supplying bis wife and children
with bread. Make every Opposition
candidate for the Legislature answer
Yes or No TO Netherlands record on
the exemption laws This issue is
a live, practical, and earnest one, and
tie Opposition must be made to meet
it squarely.- Union.

The Democrats in the Ohio House of Rep
resentatives have been playing Slidell on his
S30,000,000 Cuba corruption bill, and have also
slid it out. On Friday they forced through a
resolution under the previous question endors-
ing the Cuba scheme in the fulness of its ini-
guilty, but on Saturday took "sOber, second
thought" and allowed a reconsideration of the
vote Discussion and motions to amend fol-
lowed, and substitute offered by Mr. Harrison,
Republican, denouncing the Presidents Cuban
policy and instructing our Senators to vote
against slidell's bill, failed by only two votes.
Finally an amendment to the second of the res
olutions, offered by Mr. Plants, providing that
the acquisition of Cuba shall be accomplished
without war or dishonor, and with the consent
of the people, was adopted by two majority
The Journal says;
This unexpected turn of affairs disheartened
and disgusted the 0stenders, who seemed TO
think tnat such trifing considerations as an ex-
pensive and aggressive war, the dishonor Of our
national faith and the wishes of the people,
should not stand in the way of acquisition :
These conditions not being acceptable to them,
Mr.. Brooke moved the indefinite postponement
of the resolution; whereuPOn majority took
him at his word, and the motion carried by
vote of 50 10 25.
Evidently the Ostend programme of the Ad-
ministration is revolving to the better sense of
some of the representatives of the Ohio Demoe-
rsey. At least they fear to 90 before an hon.
