have, in my lifetime, listened to many
political speeches, but never before have /
heard discourse Of such thrilling interest.
His speech consumed a little more than
two hours. The interest was not only sus-
tanned, but it was intensified TO the very
last words he uttered. The seats that had
been arranged for the people was abandoned
by them in the outset, and at the close of
the speech there was scarcely a person in
all the vast audience who was seated
Personal comfort was forgotten in their
| eargerness to catch every word that fell
from the speaker. A large number of
negroes gave their attention, and exhibited
an unusual degree of interest. Everybody,
| black and white, express satisfaction at
the result of the days work, and it is the
common sentiment of all that much good
has been done. have no doubt we will
carry our county for the Conservative ticket
throughout We have about nine hun
bred whites and four hundred blacks
registered in the county. A respectable
portion of the black vote will be Conserva-
tive, and we have only about two hundred
or two hundred and fifty white Radicals in
the county. 1t is not only possible, but L
believe highly probable, that Etheridge
will be the next Governor Of Tennessee.
1t is great work, and it is within our
reach. Certainly whilethere is hope there
should be no lethargy in the struggle of
redeeming our State and the liberties Of
our people.
Mr.. ELheridge left, Immediately after
closing his speech, for Murfreesboro, where
he speaks Tomorrow He is holding up
well under the labor, and thinks he will do
so to the end.
1t is reported that Bill Stokes made a
speech at Watertown, in this county, to-
day. | cannot vOuch for the truth of the
report. But it is very well understood that
he has no disposition to meet his COMPETE
tor, Capt. Flemming, and the report is
not improbable. If the report is true, it
may have been Radical trick to draw of
the people from Etheridge. If Etheridge
is as successful in other counties as in VIII
son his election is a certainty.

ROBERTSON CoUNTY.-It is with sincere
qualification that we learn that Hon
John Woodward has been induced to run
as the Conservative candidate for the
Legislature from Robertson county He
is man of intelligence, patriotism and
stirling worth. He is deseryedly popular
with all classes of citizens, and there is
not a man in the county, who would
make more faithful, efficient aud ac-
ceptable Representative. He will be the
choice of large majority Of the people,
black and white, and will be triumph-
antly returned, if there is the semblance
of freedom at the ballot-box.

THE DEsTRUCTIVES AT WORK IN
CONGRESS-.

1t is the habit to speak of the action of
Congress with regard to the Southern

more appropriate to call it destruction.

from the report Of the proceedings of the
Senate that day

Senate, which passed to a second reading.

military district is to appoint suitable per-
sons to I'll each Office made vacant by this
act The time for registration may be eX-
tended to any day prior to November LIST,

the said Rebel States shall entitle such
State to representation in the Congress of

can Union, that every such citizen Of State,
owes paramount allegiance to the United
States. and no law or ordinance Of such
State, in subversion or c0ntravention OF the
authority Oft the United States Congress has

Mr. Edmund's bill, also introduced to-
day, declares the military authority IN the

The acts, by officers of the army, already
done in removing in said districts persons

to-day, Is Of a similar nature, giving power
to military commanders 10 remove or sus-

American Weighing Machines

The Paris Times says: "ln the de-
partment ofuseful machinery, the Amer
lean Platform Scales may be classcd as
all European machines in accuracy,
durability, and great convenience.
Messrs. L. Il T. Fairbanks IL Co., of st.
JOhnsbury, in the State Of Vermont,
are the principal manufacturers of this
class of machines in America, and show
us at the Exposition very large assort-
ment of samples, adapted to every style
of weighing, from a letter balance to a
machine for weighing loaded railway
wagons of 30, 900 kilogrammes capacity
proving that they are well entitled to
the reputation they have earned, of be-
ing the manufacturers Oft the best weigh
ing machines in the world.
Their manufactory is most eXteu'
siys one, giving employment to six hun
ldred workmen, and their machines are
adapted to the system of weights of all
nations, and Lsent to all parts of the
world. They are almost exclusively
used by the American Railways, and by
every branch of trade.
There is nothing of the kind in the
Exposition to compare with them, either
in the number and convenience of the
various modi feations exhibited, the
style of workmanship, or in what is OF
more importance, their perfect accuracy
combined with durability,
The Fairbanks machine evidently il
the standard in America, aud, we'll. de-
serve to be. 1t might be adapted here
with great benefit to all interested ir
correct weighing.
The jury for class SO, in which these
machines were placed, were unanimous
in the opinion as to their superiority

style of machine" ;.-...---.....

mnrion CouniY Election.

We have received an interesting ar
,iclr on the Marion county election, but
cannot present it until tomorrow. In
thc meantime, We congratulate all the
decent people of that region upon the
defeat OF the Radical candidate tor the
House Of Delegates, who represented
rbe "BoYp clique" in the canvass. The
VOTERS of Marion have had the good
sensr 10 perceive that the success OF
such unmitigated humbugs ss DORSEY
and his trainer wOuld be pernicious in
tie extreme. by the election of FLEM-
ING they have soundly rebuked pair of
precious demagOgues, and rescued the
interests of all classes of their people
from no slight peril.
The animus of the lovely couple to
which we allude is we'll shown in their
effort ro secure DORSEY'S success by the
sacrifice of MARTIN, the regular nomi-
nee with DORSEY upon the Radical
ticket When it became evident that
FLEMING, whom the Democrats sup
ported, was certain TO wiR, the BOYD
combination made an effort to leave
out MARTIN by voting for DORSEY alone.
Tho trick, however, failed, why or
how it is needless u say, and the Je-
d,1e is nov loud in its abuse of MARTIN,
whom it was unable to defeat. 1t
accuses him of sacrificing its pet, Dor
sly, when the facts all point the other
way. While Mr.. MARTIN, as Radical
candidate, will have little sympathy
with our side Of the house. we can yet
rejoice in his success, as infinitely pre-
ferable to the triumph of demagoguery
and corruption.

His unjust declarations about the dis
