While in this condition Miss Sarah j. Smith, a
school teacher in the vicinity, happened to pass
by. Seeing the wounded man. she went TO him

life. She remained with him until near nightfall,
when he requested her to leave, as his companions

in the morning, living or dead. He said he was

name was II. G. Mcdonald, and that he was from

What TO Do.

The Nashville Gdzette, i0oklng at the
situation, says we cannot upset thi'
horrible government" that Withdrawal
from the canvass will not give peace, ap-
pease Brownlew or protect from militia
ortrages, that vigilance committees and
Ku-Kluxes will arise from desperation,
unless something preventive is done
| against this State government, which
seeks not to avoid, but to encourage a
war of races, aud that the people gene
rally must at once become conservators
of the peace. And this it proposes to do
through the Democratic organizations,
as follows:
Let there be thorough organization
of the people everywhere into Demo-
cratic clubs. Let the most worthy, and
intelligent and wealthy citizens be ap-
pointed on county committees. Let there
be a subcommittee at every precinct.
Let the whole people be enrolled. Let
these committees act as guardians OF the
peace. Let them see the wrong-doers,
without respect of race or opinion, be
brought before the proper authorities.
Let these committees report each out
rage of any description occurring in
their precinct or county, and demand
that justice be administered. Let them
hold themselves ready to be summoned
on the Sheriff posse whenever neces-
sary. Leave Brownlow nor his judges
nor his sheriffs any excuse whatever for
negligence of their sworn duty.
Such organization of the people every
where-such determination on the part
of each man and each neighborhood to
prevent outrage-wosld strike terror TO
the hearts of evildoers. The certainty
of detection would be increased, and the
certainty Of punishment in the same
proportion.
But if crime should still stalk abroad,
confident of escape from the clutches of
loosely administered justice, or mayhap
assured of pardon awaiting at the
threshold of the penitentiary-let these
committees publish to the world, with
circumstances, every such outrage on
humanity. IL Brownlov officials refuse
to punish the crimes of militiamen and
Of white incendiaries. let these commit
tees collect the facts, bring their wit.
nesses before the magistrates, write out
exae. and truthful affidavi,s, have them
properly certified, and transmitted i'm
nediafely for publication to The world
through the daily press Of Nashville,
Memphis, Chattanooga and Rockville.
Do not Nait for the weekly papers. Do
not wait for a cumbrous machinery Of
popular indignation meeting; but have
your committees Of trustworthy, eminent
citizens ever ready for such emergen-
cies. Let each aud every such outrage
ius,igated for the purpose Of producing
civil war be published with details as soon
as possible. .a u.
II, nnhappily, after all these precau-
tons, civil war becomes inevitable, the
world viii know hoe IL came about
rho and rhaf produced if-Aud armed
with such documents and details, We viii
have sone show Of justice before the
county, which must ultimately judge
between Us and BrOvnlow.

A Sensible Conolusion.

The New York Herald, that started
out strong for Grsst, under the impress
sion that the popular current was in that
direction, is constrained to say:
"If the history Of Democracy were
darker than it is, the history Of Radical
ism would be infinitely beyond it in in
fanny. Il is upon these broad views and
judgments Of parties that the people move.
The common mind averages great results
BY process of its own. Isolated facts are
forgotten-this or that virtue or vice
seems to pass away; but the balance Of
history is made mp at the polls, and Ken
lucky indicates the tendency"
