DULL TIMEs.-As cotemporary says,
this is the oft-repeated expression of those
who have nothing to do. We are sorry for
them. Dull times, indeed! with Christmas
only three days of-tho shops and stores
hlled with tempting goods and thronged
with happy parents and delighted children
getting ready for Christmas Dull! YES. it
may be: and should be, for the drone; but
Tor the man Of work, there is no such word
as dull. The baby to feed, keeps him from
feeling dull and the little feet to shoe.
keep him busily moving. Let the loafer
talk about cut-throat days; why don't he
cut and stop his grumbling? These are
cut-throat days, however, for the po-aers,
and right glad are we of it. We have a
talent for disposing of sausages and spare
RIBS. But pork is not the only fayorite
about these times, for, by common con-
sent, everybody takes to turkey during the
holidays.
Turkeys! who on Christmas bled,
turkeys! who on corn have fed,
welcome to us, now you're dead
And in the frost have hung.
Nows the day, and now's the hour.
through the market how We scour,
seeking turkeys to devour-
Turkeys old and young.
Who would be turkey hen,
Fed and fattened in pen
Allled and eat by hungry men
Can you tell, pray?
Lay the proud old turkeys low.
Let the young ones run and grow.
10 market they're not fit to go,
Till next Christmas day.

TENNESSEE ELECTION.


NASHVILLE, August 2.
Election news comes in slowly
The Radical majority in Williamson
is 900, Chattanooga gives Stokes
750 majority, Robertson and Stew
art, too, give small Conservative ma.
Iiorities.
The State Senate will be, so fal
as known, unanimously Radical, and
the House overwhelmingly
The Congressional majorities will
stand, as nearly as can be estimated
by present returns, as follows lst
District-Butler, Radical, over Will
iams, Conservative, 5000. I'd Dis
trict- - Maynard, Radical, over
White, Conservative, 5000 3D.
District-Stokes, Radical, over
Fleming, Conservative, 1000.
4th District-Mullins, Radical, over
Cooper, Conservative, 1000, 9th
District - Trimble, Radical, over
Britton, Conservative, 5000. 9th
District - Arnell, Radical, over
Thomas, Conservative, 1000. 7th
District-Hawkins, Radical, over
Caldwell, Conservative, 5000. Sth
Mann, Radical, over Left
wich, Conservative, 1000.
Mason, the independent candi-
date in the 9th District, was pretty
generally dropped.
Twelve counties in Fast Tennes-
see, except Hamilton, gave Brown
low $4,000 majority,
The Conservatives admit that the
remaining counties will increase the
to $4,000 So far as heard
from, the entire Legislature tickets
elected.
The Radical majority in Given
county is 739.
In the mountain counties, where
there is scarcely colored voter or
disfranchised citizen, the Radical
majority is about the same as the
Union majority in 1861.

During the war, and while the
votes of the soldiers helped to swell
the Union majorities, they were de-
nounced by the Democratic press as
the "riff-raff, rufilans, bullies, thieves
and scoundrels.' The war itself
was unjust, and all who were en-
gagged in it were Infamous. NoW
the soldiers are asked to vote foI
men who held, and still hold to these
opinions; and the votes Of the sol
dicrs are expected to make Thur
man, the "dcar friend Of the Con
fcdoNtes, Governor Of Ohio, and to
send Vallandigham to the U. S. Sen

The REBEL TRIUSPHIN KENTUCKY
The Democratic party has succeeded
in Kentucky by its usual majority
some fifty or sixty thousand. This
was about the majority last year,
and it will be the majority Of Helm,
the Simon Pure secession candidate
for Governor this year.
This is the party which at its
meetings during the canvass last
year, as was stated by the Louisville
Journal at the time, cheered the
names of the confederate leaders,
and scofled at the name Of Grant
and other Union Generals, without
u single expression to the contrary
in either case.
This also is the party which is in
full sympathy with the Thurman
party of this State. The Democrat
ic party in this State will claim this
as a Democratic victory. = 0. s..

I" crease Of wheat exports furnishes
ga good commentary upon the
" mendacity which has cost con.
" sumers more than half of the in
" creased cost Of their recently
"purchased -four
The important question now is,
ifthese gamblers in hreadstufs were
rich enough to control a sufficient
surplus of the wheat crop Of 1866
| (which amounted to 1S0,000,000
bushels, to enable them to fix the
| price, win they not also be able to
control thu present crop, which in
proportion to its abundance, will
come into market at a correspond
ingly low figure? VIII it take
much more money to control this
years crop than last years? 1t is
true that it will be simply impossi-
BILE to repeat the game Of last year,
regarding scarcity, but it is in the
power Of the speculator, by forcing
back supplies, to produce an artif-
cial scarcity; and the present ware
housing system in all the large grain
markets throws the control of the
entire crop into comparatively few
hands.
There can be no doubt about the
fact that the high prices of last
year were mainly due to the manip-
ulations of the speculator, and it
becomes apparant that he was the
real cause of the arrangements in
business, so far as they were caused
by those high prices. The only
safety to the consumer this year
would seem to bein the super-abun-
dance of the crops. Many farmers
will doubtless desire to realize at
an early day, and others, through
further decline as the
season advances, will market their
crops without delay, so that by the
close of navigation it is to be pre-
sumed all the markets will be fully
stocked Should this prove to be
the case, it is difficult to see what
field the speculator will have to
work in. After the close of navi-
cation, the supplies by railroad are
less difficult to control, and specu-
Iators can induce or divert ship
ments, at their pleasure.
AS cooperative movements are
now justly finding so much favor,
might it not be well, particularly for
hose employing large numbers of
(whose wages are chify
spent in food, and also the work
men themselves, to think of com
Dining in the purchase of bread
;tufs directly from the miller, at
jhe minimum wholesale prices
Such a movement would go very
ar toward counteracting the com
of the spectators, and
lerange very materially their calcu-
ations, by keeping out of the mar
let a large class Of retail consum-
,rs.-- GleUeland Leader Of the 4th.

" We have heretofore stated that Mr.
ColiaY was practical printer. The Wash
ington G. H., (Ohio) Herald corrected us
in this, stating he was not practical
printer. We have now the testimony oil
the biography alluded to, that he is. We
lave always understood, since our first &C
quaintance, which was many years ago
that Mr.. c. was a printer"
We clip the above paragraph
from the Columbus GazeHe Of Fri
day last. 1t matters not whether
Speaker Colfax is a printer, it is
creditable to say that he was most
excellent editor But we must beg
| leave to correct our neighbor of the
! Gazette again. The chronological
Journal has lead our friend of the
Gazette into an error. We hap
pen to know that Mr.. c. is not a
printer. We have been personally
well acquainted with him since he
was sixteen years Of age, lived in
the same town several years with
him, and made him an editor. AT
ter our having established the South
Bend, (Mdiana) Free Press, and
having been connected with it for
nine years, we sold the Free Press
in lS45 to Messrs, Colfax & West,
who changed the title of the paper
to that Of the 81. Joseph Valley
Registcr. Mr. West was a practi-
cal printer, and worked in the office
as a iourneyman for us. Mr.. Col
fax never worked at the business,
but edited the paper and attended
to the business of the office. After
four or five months Mr. ColfaX pur-
chased Vests interest in the Reg |
ister unpublished the paper himself
for several years, and when he was
first elected to Congress he took as
associate publisher and editor Mr..
A. Wheeler, a gentleman who had
learned the printing business with
the firm of w, ~ j. Millikan. We
have right to know all about Mr..
C's connection with the type
Long before we sold him the Free
Press he was in the habit Of occa-
slonalIy furnishing us gIatuitously
with editorials; and then but mere
boy, he was regular contributor
to the New York Tribune, over the
signature of " S. c." and was the
best posted boy in politics VIC ever
saw; but, Mr.. Gazette, he wasn't n
printer, he was only IN oditor and
DHbiisher, nuts 0H,

down in the hills think if Emmett

move the State Capitol down the
canal to Wavcrly, close by his big

who have an idea that there is more
