WASHINGTON, August 29.-The Hor
John c. Burch and Col. l.. G. Burcf
were recently appointed delegation b
the Conservatives of Tennessee to visi
the President ahd lay before him th
situation of affairs in that State. DIl
Burch was unable to leave home, IN
therefore delegated his powers to- \ IL
Looney, Of Kentucky. Col. Looney ana
Mr.. Bureh arrived here yesterday. They
had brief interview with the President
which was interrupted by the arrival OF
the hour for the Cabinet meeting, but
last night they had, by appointment, a
conference of two hours, during which
Tennessee matters were fully discussed.
The President referred the delegation
to the recent orders n the limit of Exec
utive power in the NATTER, but ASSURED
them that the means authorized by the
Constitution and laws would be used to
procure the freedom of the ballot box in
Tennessee, and other Southern States,
without the interference by Federal or
State troops The President took the
ground that the Constitution forbids any
of the States from maintaining a stand
ing army of paid soldiers that militia
duty is incumbent upon every citizen,
who can only be exempt from it by the
payment of fine, or by providing a
substitute; that the militia is an emer-
gency force, subject to be called from
the plow or from the loom at any mo-
ment, and from which no citizen can
escape, but that standing army of paid
troops in any State is repugnant to the
Constitution and to the spirit of our in
stitutions Every constitutional power
of the Executive will be used to prevent
the organization of standing armies of
paid troops in any State, unless called
for and controlled by Federal authority.
The President during his prolonged
interview with Colouels Burch and
Looney produced and read from the
books parts of the Constitution and the
several laws on the subject, in supportof
his position that no State can maintap
a standing army..sof paid soldiers. The
law of 1865 he declared was conclusive
on this subject. 1t disbanded and for
bade the reorganization of the militia or
volunteer forces of the Southern States
The President in his conversation with
the delegation expressed himself in favor
of the election of Seymour and Blair

A QUESTION OF GOING TO Bed
The right of master to order servant
to go to bed, was the question involved
in case which came before the County
Court Judge at Guilford, England, re-
Gently. Elizabeth Wheatly sued James
White for los. 1Sd. in lieu of notice.
The defendant is the landlord of the
Talbot Inn at Ripley. The plaintiff said
she was in the service of the defendant,
who had dismissed her without giving
ber any notice. The cause of her dis
missal was that the defendant came down
into the kitchen ono night and told her
to go to bed at quarter to 10 o'clock.
She refused to do SO, as they meyer wcne
to bed till half past 10. SOn' the follow
ing morning he threatened to kick her
out of the house if she did not go. The
Judge gave this decision al think your
master was quite right in dismissing you.
When your master told you to go to bed
it was your duty to do SO and as you
did not obey his reasonable commands,
he was quite justified in dismissing you.

Patronize our own People,

With frequency which we feared
might become tiresome, we have urged
the great importance of patronizing home
industry. Every member of commun
ity ought to know that it is his interes
to contribute to the business success and
prosperity of those among whom he
depends for patronage. Yet every mem.
Der of this community, does not act as il
he thought this to be his duty or inter
est. We personally know, and could
name, if necessary, citizens of Rich.
mond, whose every dime of patronage i;
received from the people of this city and
its vicinity, who prefer to send abroad
for everything the want. Acting upon
the ridiculously absurd idea that nothing
made here or brought here isgood enough
for themselves or their families, these
persons send to manufacturing or mer-
camille establishments in northern cities
for articles that made just as well
and could be purchased just as cheap al
home. Such parties ought not never to
complain about hard times or wonder al
the dullness of trade. They have done
and are doing. everything in their power
to cripple the industry and paralyze the
energies of our mechanics and pro-
ducers.
The home mechanic is the patron o.
the merchants and farmers among whom
he lives, and if his industry and energy
are not encouraged by his neighbors be
is forced to seek some other residence
and word. Hundreds of competent and
industrious mechanics in this city arc
idle to-day because they have no work
to do and not suf5eient means to go else.
where.
There will be no change for the better
until our people learn and practice the
important lesson of patronizing home
industry and home enterprise. Until
this is done we may expect to hear Of
hard times and dull trade.-,SoEthera

"THERE are says DR.. Doran, ''man-
uscript sermons existing couple ofaen-
turies old. in the margin of which hem
hem is written, to indicate where the
preacher, after raising his strain to a
hight which would seem to authorize the
relief, might cough, merely for the ef-
feet of the thing. NJ. Peugnot states that
he had seen in the manuscript sermons Of
an old preacher these words, in different
parts of the margin, Here fall back in
your seat Start ufSe Use your hand
kerchief,' Shout here like the very dev-
il : and Balzac says that an old cleric of
his time, teaching young student how

you can to the purpose, and you'll not

it is because they can treat dog as some

dog stolen from him few days ago, and
he hit upon plan to get him back at a
trifing expense. He put an advertise
ment in one Of the papers offering re-
ward of 500 for the return of the dog,

his own name to the advertisement, he
used the name Of a friend. Before ten

forms us that a KnRlux uniform was
found in room adjoining that of the
Register of Henry county The confu-
sion manifested by the Register when the
discovery was made, and his opposition
to the removal Of property, satisfied the
parties present that the Register is a Ku

have long INDUCED, that the Radicals
are in the habit of acting Ku klux in
order to create the excitement upon
which their party lives. Of course it is
