The popular sentiment against ultra
Radlcal1sm is as the winds and waves -
Deep speaks unto deep. The great COM
merclal marts upon the Atlantic send words
OF cheer to the Pacific slopes of gold. The
The mineral States and Territories, con-
tanning the very cream of the daring, en-
terprise, and energy of the land, are as a
unit against destructive and ultra Radical
Ism, and their influence is constantly exer-
ted upon the Western mind, and, in fact.
upon that OF the entire country. The best
OPINION OF European conservatism, or lib
erallsm IN craftsmanship, contemns and
repels the revolutionary or usurping Radi-
cal party in this country
Soon the mOnstrous prohigacy and cor
ruptlon of Stanton, as the leader of Radi,
cahsm IN the Cabinet, will be SO exposed
as to attract vast element of popular
strength to the Conservative party. The
hldeous defalcations under Radical rule
must, sooner or later. be laid bare to the
pubic gaze, and the criminal officials who,
as proteges of Radical Congressman, are
screened from view, will be punished.
The whole view Of the atrocities of the ra-
paclous robbers of public treasure will
make some Of the blacklist pages in Ameri-
CAN history. 4he time must come when
the list shall be published of those who
were arbitrarily arrested upon no founda-
ton OF just charge, and were long confined
III loathsome bonds without trial, and many
OF whom died in chains, or were released
only to Enger on for while under priva-
tlons, until death come as relief to a pain
ful existence. The continued wants and
woes of the whites of the South, as so
vividly depicted by the Chicago Tribune,
the leading Radical paper in ability and
influence IN the whole land, must decimate
the Radical party of it's good men only to
attach them to the Conservative cause.
The fate of rotten Radicalism is sealed.
It is an arch made up, under circumstances
OF an absorbing passion, of elements in
wrong and crime. Together they have
stood for time, but striking out single
stone precipitates the whole stupendous
fabric into ruins.

AUTUMN,

Farewell thou dying Year, farewell!
Thy reign is almost DER;
Fled the freshness Of vernal hours,
The glory of thy summer bowers
And cen thy last pale ling ring flowers
Will soon be here no more
'Tis sad to see the hues OF death
Fast stealing DER thy bloom,
To hear the ftful Autumn gale
Sweep through the lonely wood and vale,
Breathing its low, prophetic WALL
Ger thy approaching doom
To me, in every passing breeze,
There is d tone of grief,
Recalling hopes of vanished years,
Now only eeen thro' Memory's tears
An emblem of whose fate appears
In every falling leaf!
Perhaps there are bright eyes that weep
To sec thee pass away,
Who in thy course, departing year,
Have meier been dimmd by sorrows tear;
And blest with all of bright and dear,
Would gladly WOO thy stay,
But there are some whose hearts are glad
Thy darksome reign is DER
Who would not live thine hours again.
For riches of the earth and main
Blu: 10y those days OF care ana pam,
To them can come no more.
For thou hast seen the dearest ties
Of earthly feeling broken
To be renewed, Oh never more,
Unless on that eternal shore,
Where. grief aud death forever Ger,
No parting words are spoken!
Then fare thee well, departing Year,
| would not WOO thy stay
Thy signing winds breathe Of the tomb
Thy fading roses speak the doom
Of the hearts cherished hopes, whose bloom,
Like thine, has passed away

SPRING AT THE FOOT OF THE HILL.

There's dear, sweet spot way down in the past,
To which my heart ever turns with sigh,
And my tears fall fast as leaves in the blast,
When the winds of Autumn are hurying by.
'Tis the happy place where drank my fill
And cooled my burning thirst with joy,
From the gushing spring at the foot of the hill
Where [ drank when was a boy.
In the old stone house standing high above,
With its honest front and open door,
Dvelt the dearest friends of my boyhood 8 love
Ii the gay and happy times of yore:
On their love and their friendship muslng Still,
I dream with sweet but saddened joy,
OF the gushing spring at the foot of the hill,
Where l drank when was boy.
l look around me and the friends are gone,
saWho played with there in my bOyhoOd's s
time,
And still through this world I am wandering
Now dreaming dream and now D1uttering a
rhyme.
But up through the mist of memory still,
Like music heard from the land of Joy,
Comes the gushing spring at the foot of the hill
Where I drank when l was boy.
In the valley below, where the mapl> ,hade
Grows dark on the mound Of her early grave
Lies sleeping forever gentle maid,
Who was lovely as God to earth e'er gave.
And the stream flows on in it's music still
AS it comes with hymn of Joy,
From the gushing spring at the foot of the hill
Where drank when | was boy.

STATE NEWS,

LE-GGNSENG-CAPT. Polk
EARLY SETTLERS -SoRGHUM.-The Ameri-
can people are noted for their free use of
the superlative degree. We are ever seeing
the finest horse, the hottest day, the p,'ettiest
woman, and the finest locality. But I must
place this town on record as oXcelling all
the towns within my knowledge, in some
respects-one at least 1t has been found
by measurement to be 2, 700 feet above the
sea, and Is claimed TO be the most elevated
site of any town in the United States
Districts included.
Wayneseille is certainly behind no place
in the old-fashionedk kind of hospitality. It
makes one think of the good old time be-
fore the days of railrOading.
Waynesville is encircled with belt of
mountains that stretches literally around
the place, excepting gaps that afford out
! lets for the traveller. One of these peaks
rises to the height of 5000 feet.
Near the village is one of the finest
! sulphur springs in the land. In addition
to its medicinal property, it possesses the
additional charm of being as cold as ice
water.
1t is a singular fact that the temperature
here at ". is so cold that no ice is put up
for summer use, for the reason that butter
milk and water are cold enough in the sum
mer without ice. Blankets are used in
sleeping all the year.
Whilst this is so, the mountain slopes
present the singular feature of having belts
of warm currents never visited by frost. In
this it resembles the great Mexican valley
where a man on horseback can get lemon
fresh from a tree, and in the same day ride
to a locality where the icicle can be gotten
for the lemonade.
At this elevation, no wonder Waynes
vile should be healthy. At a Sabbath
school I attended yesterday, was inter
ested in looking over the school in search
of a delicate-looking boy, but I did not fine
one.

FROM WASHINGTON,

The New British Minister-SoIicitorship OF
HeVenue-suppresstOn of Illegal Armed
Organize tiOns-Order OF the President-
Gen. Grant and the Presidency.
WASHINGTON, November 6.-Information
has been received here that Sir Edward
Thornton has really been appointed by
the British Government as Minister to
the United States. Sir Edward holds the
matter under advisement, and the British
Government is awaiting his acceptance or
declination.
The President has not yet been able
to select from the applicants suitable
person to fill the Office of Solicitor of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. Mr. Sloan
aker, of Philadelphia, has been named
by some Of the papers as the probable
appointee, but there is authority for say
ing that he has not been considered by
the Executive in connection with that
position, and that he will not receive the
appointment.
The following is o copy of the order of
the President for suppressing armed or
CARNATIONS in the District of Columbia.
It is addressed to General Grant
"I am reliably advised that there are
within the District of Columbia a num-
Der of armed organizations, formed with
out authority of law and for purposes
which have not been communicated to
the Government. Being at the present
time unnecessary for the preservation of
order or the protection of the civil au-
thority, they have excited serious appre-
tensions as to their real design. You
will therefore take official steps for prompt
ly disbanding and suppressing all such
| illegal organizations.
| This order is dated last Monday, the
4th instant, and applies to all armed mil
itary organizations, whether composed Of
negroes or white men. General Grant
reports that beside the companies com-
posed of colored men there are four
companies of white citizens whose organ
izations are likewise unauthorized.
Chief Justice Chase left here this morn
ing for New York, to be absent about
week.
Hon W. E. Chandler, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, has gone to New
York, and expects to return by Saturday
next.
Hon. E. B. Washburne, who has been
here two or three days, had a long inter-
view with Gen. Grant to-day, the purport
of which has not been made public F.; but
gossip has it that the conversation was
relative to the probable candidacy of Gen.
Grant for the presidential chair.

a Pennsylvania Democrats Programme.
Judge Underwood, who, in his absence
in Europe, was nominated and elected to
Congress by the Democrats of the Twelfth
Congressional District Of Pennsylvania,
was, on his recent return, welcomed home
by his political friends, to whom he made
an address, in which he thus stated the
policy he intends to pursue
The restoration of the discovered States
to their places in the Federal Uuion-the
committing suffrage, and all other local
and domestic questions which the constitu-
ton does not expressly control, to the free
and urconstralned action of the several
States-the strict subordination of the mill
tary to the civil power Of the Countrywide
admission into the two houses of Congress
of such loyal white representatives as the
States may send by due exercise of suf-
frage, uncontrolled by federal bayonets-
the restoration to the people of their con-
stitutional currency of gold and silver at the
earliest day the business of the country
will bear 1.-THE adjustment of all our reve-
nue. laws upon such basis that public
credit may be strengthened, revenue in
creased, and taxation ightened-the revi-
val of trade, industry, and commerce
throughout our whole country, and to this
end the cultivation of a fraternal spirit of
amity and concord between the States and
the people of the States.
This wide continent cannot be governed
by military despotism which tramples
upon the rights of white men in the interest
of the negro race. The founders meant no
result SO preposterous- posterity will never
pardon US for prostituting our institutions
to such unworthy ends. The negro is an

Hon. Ben. Wade and Negro suRrago-His
Opinion OF the Grant Movement and
Confscation,
CINCINNATI, Nov. THE Commercial
publishes a three column account of an in
terview with Vice-President Wade. He
says that the negro suffrage amendment
was the cause of the defeat of the Repub-
Iicans in Ohio, but at the same time he is
utterly opposed to abandoning that issue.
He adds that he had no idea that there
we're too many Republicans who were will
ling to see negro suffrage in the South, but
opposed tosit in Ohio. He denounced Tom
Ewing's letter, and said Congress would
never modify the reconstruction laws, but
would make them harder if the South did
not behave better.
On impeachment, Mr.. Wade said he
wanted it distinctly understood that he ex-
pressed no opinion. He did sly, however,
that he thought the elections would have
some effect against the movement but If
President johnson had been impeached,
he also believed that the elections would
have resulted differently.
He added that he was sorry to see dis
position in the Republican party to take up
Grant for President and run him in with q
"hurrah.' - ''Let him come out" said Mr..
Wade, ''like man and show us his prin-
ciples." In conclusion, the Vice-P President
denounced as unwise Thad. Stevens con-
fscation bills.

Democratic Address.

The following is the address of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee:
Fellow CITIZENS: Patriotism and frater-
nal love unite their voices in calling upon
every American freeman to remember that
one day spent in the service Of his country
may avert many days of national disaster
and distress. The immediate present,
fraught with the mightiest affairs of States,
cannot be neglected by the supporters and
defenders Of constitutional law and liberty.
The pres mt involves turning point in our
history. A splendid and crowniug victory
for Democratic Conserva' ISM, the stability
and the integrity of our nationality will
render our progress IN the march of nations
equal aud indivisible. It is not our object
to specify in detail the reasons that ought
to govern the action III this crisis of all
sincere friends of the true principles of
our Government. They are weighty and
manifold. They appeal to the reason and
Judgment OF the people with the same force
and spirit which conquered the indepen-
dence of America, sustained her honor and
glory IN 1912, added to her renown in 1916,
and preserved her unity and integrity in
| 1851. 1t is our country calling upon her
patriotic sons to do their duty. It is our
mother extending her hands to her children
for support. He who refuses to heed the
call is unworthy of his share in the rich
heritage Of American freemen. Every re-
collection Of the glorious past, every re-
membrance Of the mighty deeds and nigh
ty names of our heroes and our martyrs,
every consideration in the present, peace,
concord, fraternity, Union, prosperity and
happiness, all demand that in the hour oi
the coming action every true soldier OF
American independence, of the Constitu-
ton of liberty and of Law shall be found in
line of battle. Strike the enemy by your
votes with the strength OF Jove. Let your
blows through the ballot box be sure and
effective, and let radicalism thus patriot.
cally and practically find its final death
blow and winding sheet in the lasting mem.
ory of its many crimes.

caused the bursting of the Canal which
supplies the mills of this place, causing
the entire suspension Of business for the
past two days. The canal was damaged at
quite a number of places above this point
but workmen are engaged in its repair
and will soon make it all right again.
An expenditure of proportlonate amount
of money to the good that would be accom-
plished in the placing OF proper canal
above this place would give here fall Of
water sufficient to run every manufacturing
establishment that could be stacked for
eight miles above here, and then the sup
ply would never be exhausted. We predict
and verify believe that in q few years-so
soon as the political elements which now
distract the country shall have become suf
fciently settled not to debar Northern
capitalists from seeking the South-this
thing will be accomplished. The condi-
ton of the South has been SO changed
that her people will in the future look more
to manufacture than she has hitherto done,

more inducements than Weldon-tapping
