James A. Eddie, clerk temporarily
in large auction house in Charleston,
after pocketing cool $4,000 of his en-
ployers funds, made off ia the steamship
Britiania for Nassau, leaving his adieux
in the shape Of polite note to the gem
ileman he had 40 COOL y swindled. The
employer was, doubtless, unpleasantly
Eddie fed when he perused the cour-
teous missive.
Their seems to be good deal Of Bit
terness and rivalry among the aspirants
for the Office Of Travelling Governor Of
Tennessee, and the ReJel has a long edi-
torial on the necessity of pouring oil on
the troubled waters The Rebel does
not name any aspirants, but we learn
that the most prominent ones, are An
drew Ewing, Dick Mccain, and Sam
Anderson. The Rebel publishes the fol-
lowing call, which has no names ap-
pended TO it:
To the People OF Tcnnessee.
The time is rapidly approaching when
! by the Constitution and laws Of Ten.
nessee, we are 80 be called upon TO elect
! Governor, Congressman and Members
10 The Legislature.
II is more important that this duty
should be performed now than at any
other previous period in our history.
| We must exhibit to the enemy our I'M
altersble frmnees of purpose and deter
mination TO preserve and perpetuate our
free institutions.
It is confidently believed that the
people everywhere are ready to sacrifice
personal preferences, and personal claims,
SO far as may be necessary TO produce
perfect harmony and unity of action.
/ In the present condition of the country
this can only be done by securing q
meeting Of the largest number Of citi
zens possible, from every part of the
State, for the purpose Of consulting and
determining who shall be our candidates
For this purpose we request the voters
of the State, by public meeting, or such
other mode as they may deem best, to
appoint delegates 10 meet at Winchester,
Tenn, on Wednesday the 18th of June,
1888 to nominate a candidate fer Cav
ernor, and n general ticket for members
Of Congress.
| Regiments are requested to hold pre-
liminary meetings, and to appoint dele
| gates.
Exiles and refugees from counties
within the enemy's lines, are requested
TO attend as delegates from their respec-
tive counties.
The Rebel adds :

II is conceded that the duty Of ths
