The Trenton (West Tenn Gazette, of
Saturday has the following handsome notice
of one our most liberal advertisers.
Thompson II. Jones, having been raised
in our vicinity, near Keysburg, KY where
he now owns some very valuable real es-
tate, it has been our good pleasure to know
from youth up. We admired him always
for his frankDess snd great determination,
and being possessed Of that liberal. geaer-
Gus, christian spirit, and sound, solid judg-
ment of his good and pious father, Jesse
Jones. who was loved and honored by all
who knew him, he has never failed to ia
spire confidence and success in whatever
he has undertaken.
Since the close of the war, in which he
served four years with credit to himself, on
the Confederate side, he has been dealing
largely in wheat fans, which he now makes
the leading department Of his business
He IS principal manager OF the concern, his
brother giving his attention in great de-
gree, to other matters.

Note for the Peonle.

There was time when no man who had
a stain upon his honor could be elevated to
place Of profit or trust. There was a
time when the Legislature Of Alabama was
composed of the mobiles and purest Of the
land. Look at it now, under the rule of the
Republican party There is seated now in
our Legislative Halls, by force of negro
votes, making laws for a State that mum bers
more than a million Of souls, one man who
has been confined in jail for bigamy, anoth-
er who was charged by his hired negroes
with having defrauded them of wages, an
other who is under indictment for stealing
a mule, another who has been openly charg-
ed with arson, another who has been a flu
gitive from justice; another who is pro-
nounced by his wife lunatic, another who
is charged openly with defrauding the Gov
eminent, and still another who has been in
the Peuiteutiary.

The nld-T,ina Whies

George D. Prentice says: If there be a
solitary human being within our reach,
who, by some whimsical hook or crook of
heart or brain, has got on the wrong side of
the line-of- bat,le--particularl if he has
been an old Wing or Union man, and con-
siders it to be his duty to go against the
Democrats-we entreat him to pause and
reflect upon what he is about to do. Why
should he go with the Radicals? and what
reason can he offer for not going with the
Democrats? All the issues over which we
used to fight are dead. The Democratic
party itself is recognized after a division
which co.'s pletely destroyed and re-created
it. 10 1860 it fought within itself as reso-
lutely as we ever fought against it. Times
have changed; men have changed. Clay, if
he we're living now, would be Democrat
Webster could be nothing else. All the
reputable old-line Wings that remain are
Democrats, from Fillmore to John Bell;
and God knows if these men can afford it.,
there is not one Of their followers in the
by-gone times who has any excuse to hold
back now.

The New York Round Table is an able
literary journal with radical tendencies.-
After the nomination of Governor Seymour
it predicted his defeat. But in it's issue
of the 22nd of August it takes it back:
did we judge merely from indications
on the surface, this conviction might re-
main unchanged. We have, however, be.
come persuaded that there is a very pow
erful underourrent Unpopular dissatisfaction
with radical rule and radical measures
which is gaining "a Their than losing strength
with the passage OF time, and that, conse-
quently, the chances, which at present we
estimate as nearly even, may incline in No
vember, in victorious degree, to the dem
ocratic side. From present in
dications, however, we are led to believe
the three great States of New York. Penn
sylyania and Ohio will throw themselves
into the scale for Seymour and Blair; and
should they do so, not all the hosts nf New
England, backed as they may be by the
West and South, by voters black or white,
Constitutional or unconstitutional, will
avail to prevent the republican forces from
kicking the BEAM"

Scraps from the LouisVil Journal.
The Chicago Republican has an article
entitled 'What Grant is and what he isn't"
What he is, is infinitely less than what he
isn't.
The Oregon Times calls the Democrats
"traitors in disguise" The radicals, we
feel constrained to admit, are traitors with
out disguise.
We wonder whether General Longstreet
thinks that he has gained the least respect
in the North as part compensation for the
vast deal he has lost in the South.
The radicals profess to be violently op-
posed to the selling of negroes. Butthe ne
grOes of the Georgia Legislature seem to
have been pretty badly sold by them.
The radicals are such hypocrites as to
profess devotion to the tars and stripes
We shall give them stripes enough and
make them see stars that never shone in
"heaven's vauIted cope"
1.-THE radical party succeeds in getting
power for another four years, men may as
well economic by having their clothing
made without pockets. They viii have no
use for such immaginary receptacles.
The Albany Evening Journal, leading
radical paper of New York, says that the
poor man in these times never sees the tax
gather" He sees him, and hears him, and
feels him. He recognizes him by all his
five corporal senses.
The Albany Evening journal says that
one of the Democratic war-ories is, Down
with radical fnanciering." Well, when
radical fnanciering costs the country near
II a thousand million of dollars year in a
time of peace, why shouldn't everybody
cry down with it?
A little more than two years ago General
Grant made report to the government set
ting forth the existence of order aud good
will and a spirit of loyalty in the South
He spoke in the strongest terms Of the tenn
per and disposition of the people through
out the Southern States, among whom be
had just been making long aud extensive
tour. The leading radicals of the Senate
Sumner especially, denounced the report as
a embarrassing" one.
And now Grant is unquestionably more
indignant aDdangry at his own report thar
the infamous Senator who has called it 9
''whitewashing" report. Grant has *
pride of opinion or character. He has on
" a passion to be President.

invisible line Divides them. Politically

Miltonio Pandemonium and the Miltonic
Paradise. What causes the difference p
Any one endowed with intellect above an
idiots may read the answer in the fact that,
since the war, the deranged affairs of Ken
lucky have been adjusted under Demo
cratic State government, pursuing a genu
inc policy OF peace, of social harmony, and
of material recuperation, while the derang-
ed affairs of Tennessee have been subjected
to a radical State government which has
made confusion worse COMPOUNDED, organ
lied social discord and misery, and stimu-
lated to the utmost activity all the elements

servatives of the latter State to induce Gov

lax prescription and violence 10 such an ex-
tent as 10 open the door to general peace,

overture in behalf of these interests was
harshly repulsed. The grim tyranny was
memorable. It prefers war-ciYil war sym

dealing with political opponents is that

Kentucky under Democratic policy that
even the negroes in Tennessee, with all the
apparent but deceptive advantages held out
to them by the Brownlow radicals, are
prone to emigrate to the former State
Well may they feel moved by propheuO in
stinct to flee from the wrath to come, not in
Tennessee only, but in every Southern
State where Radicalism is bold or strong
enough to pursue the same course of pro
scription and violence. The white man,
when the worst comes under radical mis-
rule, has many resources, but the negro is
certainly doomed.

John Allen, the ex-"wickedest' man in

this is true, bis reformation is hopeless.

Since the radicals came into power they
have stolen money enough to pay all the &C
tual and three times the honest and legiti-
mate expenses of the late war. And they
are asking the privilege Of stealing for four
years more. All the indications are that
the people are not willing. Certainly they
are not such fools as to be willing. The
fools are numerous, but We have no thought
that they are the majority If they are, let
the country 60. Vermont is a fool Sew
eral other States are fools. But most Of
the States of the Union have undoubtedly
sense enough to take care of themselves

The Legislature.

The militia business came 70 a deadlock
Wednesday. The Senate amended the
House bill by substituting its own, reviv-
ing the militia lau of last year, and the
House plumply transmitted it to the SEN
ate, refusing to concur in it by vote of
two to one. Eight Senators voted againsta
militia law In any form.

The most remarkable fact in this calcula-
ton, and one which has never occurred be-
fore, is that the votes of both thus taken
and computed, amount to SIT, the exact
number composing the total electoral vote

States of the Union. If the Greeks and Ro-
mans of old considered the gravest public
acts under omens less reliable, the curious
