DON'T PRsPARE FOR GRANT


Prepare for GRANT, says the Louis
vile Courier in q fit Of d~espOndency and
gloom. Prepare for GRANTin Kentucky
they may, but we in Tennessee have no
mind to, nor intention Of preparing for
him. We are convinced his rule, if he is
elected, will be of the mildness of mothers
milk compared to the extravaganza and
Bombastes FuriOso style Of BRowNLow,
yet we have no intention OF preparing
for GRANT. We are at issues with Gen,
GRANT yet; and mean to continue &c
until after the third of November, when
be or our gallant leaders-SEYNoUR and
BLAIR-sre to be defeated.
We have no preparation to make for
GRANT. We have no place for HIN in
our hearts and will make none for him
at our nearths. Opposed to him poIlti-
calIy, we shRll continue SC. Defeat of
the Democracy Of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Indiana, will not in the least afec
u principles, our hopes or aspirations.
We will not ever prepare for the posi-
bility Of defeat. We do not count or
dream of defsat;-but victory. TOadmit
the possibility Of our defeat in November.
is to help for the certain victory Of Rad
icalism. Who admits GRANTS election,
because of wi recent defeat, does more
to break up the Democratic party, and
more for his election, than all the Repub-
licans who can speak in this neighbor-
hood between this and the day Of cleo
ton.

THE xoRFoLK CoNvENTEeN.

40 ME OhEOA SOS AASN
The thorough-going and energetic BUSH
ness men who represent the South at
the Norfolk Convention, by the enthu-
sissm they inspire by their example,
have already done much for their section.
The spirit they manifest-the indIher-
ence to political issues or results lis u
of the healthiest and most inspiring
signs given out by this gathering OF
merchants. From the accounts that reach
us. they have been guided by wisdom
and discretion, and act upon the basis OF
a bright and happy future for the South
They have not, nor do they propose to
make any preparations for GRANT.
Indeed, they don't seem to think his
election as at sill pOssible-snd, II posi-
bic, don't care. Building up the country,
euerVising its tradesmen-that is what
they have come together for. They
think it can be done 10 matter who is
President. They don't think that the
csming Presidential election is TO result
in the t~eetotal ruin Of the United States.
They know there are more Congressman
to be elected by others than the States
that voted on Tuesday, and, that IS In
President JoRNsoE's case, it is possible,
that GRANT, If elected, will find his pur-
poses materially modified by an opposing
House Of Representatives. Anyhow,
they are determined on business, and
upon making up to her the losses the
South hiss suffered. The era Of prosperity
which push and energy Will induce,
even in a desert, is shout to dawn upon
our garden South.

ST. LOUIS, October I5.-The Democrat

iican gain, while the Democratic gain is
only about forty. The entire Republic

"The election is undoubtedly close,
but we have little doubt that we have
elected Hendricks,
"The Radicals claim the State, but are
unable to name any majority. I have
therefore to believe that the State is safe.
Lsrge Democratic gains In many coun-
ties are reported. Nilblack is elected to
Congress in the First District, Kerr in
the Second, Holman in the Third, and
VOORHEES, in the Sixth. This is a gain of
one over our very latest previous advice5,
and figures insure the S.ate by 1900 ma
jority. We do not see how this reckon
Ing can be overturned"

THE CONGRESSIONAL EXCURSION.
Since the refusal Of Alderman RuFFTN
10 serve as a representative Of poor Mem
phis among the Congressional Excur-
sionists, we have not heard q word upon
the subject. 1t cannot be that our City
Fathers have determined to ignore the
thing altogether and take DO cognizance
Of Mr.. RUFFIE's action. They are not
that bad, surely. And yet, time flies. 1t

sionists will be at our doors. The Board

AS to that we have nothing to say. We
do not know of any abuses supported at
such q cost, and we don't desire to pro-

n oble Words.

The following is an extract from ALBERT
Pixies late speech at st. Louis. 1t can
not be reprinted too often:
The man who says that we who are
now designated as rebels do not intend in
good faith to support the constitution and
labor for the preservation of the Union,
tells you falsehood. He lie. in his teeth,
and / have no hesitation in saying so.
Great cheers. 1t is not the hor orable
Federal solder who makes the charge, but
the sneak who never saw the tented field
and who never dared to enter personally
into the fight. [Cheers | desire to tes-
tlfy my appreciation of the kindness and
magnanimity of the Federal soldiers who,
were it left to them to decide, would settle
our difficulties at once, generously and
justly toward all. Cheers. | say it with
pride that ever since the close of the war
have | been treated discourteously, never
an unkind look or an unkind word, from an
open, manly Federal soldier They fought
nobly, they fought successfully, they know
how to treat brave and fallen foe. And
If you give confidence to the honest and
courageous people of the South and if you
take the bayoncts from their threats, the
paddock from their lips; if yon enfranohise
them and trust them, | pledge you the
word OF man, aye, pledge you the hon.
or OF my race, that we will discharge in
good faith the obligations imposed upon US
by the constitution, all our duties under
the Union.

them. We examined the matter, and in
formed the unfortunate man that he must
discontinue work, and wash and cure him
SELF Cur printeri contributed literally,
and supported hin. while he used sulphur,
and endeavored to removelhe aroma which
he carried about his person, aud which
bore TO resemblance to the perfume of
roses. He was only partially successful,
far removed from the other work nlcn as
possible.
In a few weeks after his appearance in
the city, he concluded he would go into
the newspaper business. and issued the
pro pectus of The Southern Refugee and
Cotton Ponter He procur, d about a
hundred subscribers al 81 each, and, pock-
citing the money, left for parts unknown.
When next we heard Of him, he was pubs
fishing a radical paper at Jacksonport, hob
nobbing with negroes AMI talking about
loyalty. j. /. Elliot, is now the radical
candidate for congress In the Camden dis
trlct OF Arkansas !
We have no doubt many of our citizens
remember this mao. A more depraved
specimen of humanity does not live on the
| face of the earth. Or weak mind, almost
lmbeclle, he was an object to pity and to
loathe. And be is one of the statesmen
whom reconstruction has brought TO the
surface in the southern states God have
mercv on the unfortunate people who are
ruled by such men. May His curses fall
upon the party which has imposed ruler
of this kind upon the country l. there
any wonder the decent people OF the south
are restless?

RESTORE THOSE STARS.

hestore those stars Oh, let them slime
opop our flag again,
ana ietthem, as III days gone by,
oieam @ er the land and main.
We want no mutilated flag,
-" here dismal blanks may tell
mat orbs which once shone bri,htly there
Have babe its folds farewell.
NO Trey shall not be stricken from
That constellation bright,
And, lite the wandering Pieiad' fires,
be quenched in endless night.
Well set them in their place again
OF glory and renown:
And. like those circling round the pole
They never shall 60 down.
Yes they shall ever glitter where
That meteor flags u1,furled,
And be, with all their kindred stars,
The hope-stars of the world,
Columbia, wipe away thy tears;
Thy flag shall be restored,
With not single stripe erased,
Nor single star obscurcd.
And it shall float in ample folds,
And fiaunt the breeze in pride,
Where er thy victor legions tread,
Or conquering navies ride.
And every heart shall leap with joy
To see that flag once more
Triumphant wave DER land and sea,
As it hath waved of yore

Selections for a Newspaper.

2 Most Teop.o ,L.ak that selections OF
suitable matter for u newspaper is the
easiest part Of the business. How great an
error 1t Is by all means the most diff
cult To look over hundreds Of exchange
papers every week, from which to select
enough for one, especially when the ques-
ton is not what ohall not be selected, Is no
easy task If every person who reads a
paper could have edited it, we should hear
less complaint. Not frequently is it the
case that an editor LOOKS over all his eX~
change papers for something interesting
and can absolutely find nothing. Every
rercr IS dryer tL9n contribution box, and
get something must be lad his paper
must come out with sonnet ing In 1t, and
he does the best he can. To an editor who
has the least care about what he selects,
the writing that he has is the easiest part
of his labor Every subscriber things the
paper is printed for his own benefit ; and
If there is nothing in ii that suits him, 1t
must be stopped F; it is good for nothing.
just as many subscribes as an editor may
have, so many tastes be has 10 consult.
OGe wants something sound. One anec-
dotes, fun and frolic; and the next door
neighbor wonders that man Of good sense
will put such stuff IL :, yaper. Something
spicy comes out, and the editor is black
guard. Next comes something argument
alive, and the editor is dull fool. And
SO between them all you see the poor fel
lows get roughly handled. They never
think what does not please them may
''ease the next man; but they insist, if
the paper does not suit them it is good
for nothing Washington Gtoje,

1t the radicals want peace, what are

seA The Democracy gained nine-possi-
bly, ten-members Of Congress on the 18th
three in Pennsylvania, four in Ohio and
two in Indiana. 1t is instructive to re-
mark that special dispatches to the Chica>
go Tribune show that in every instance the
defeated Radicals are expecting to appeal
from the people to the Rump Congress for
the purpose of getting back to that body.
Such is their confidence in the honesty and
impartialitl of their associates.

aea- A favorite style of Radical argu,
ment is described in a recent letter from q
son of ex president Tyler to mass meeting
of the Democracy at Selma, Alabama. The
letter says: ''Their unceasing effort is to
escape from their Own acts. When asked
to explain what has become of the billion
and halt of the peoples dollars they have
collected and expended since the close oil
the war, they shout by way of answer, '"Tc
the front, boys in blue, forward Tan.
ners," up with the ffag," "Hurrah for
Grant" When asked why, after declaring
Radical reconstruction perfect success iE
the Chicago platform a few mouths ago,
they now admit to be disastrous failure,
they at once cry out that Tombs and Cobb
and Wise and Hampton are "conspiring
to incite another rebellion" When asked
why the public debt is increasing in vol
ume, and why the public credit is sinking
lower and lower, they begin to declaim
frantically about the horrors of confederate
prison, and to weep tears over the dead of
the war. The dare not allow the minds of
thepeople to sonsider calmly the realissues
of the canvass and to form an unexcit.d
and deliberated judgement upon them.
They dare not, in other words, answer to
the people for their extravaganza, corrup-
ton, usurpatioD, revolutionary aspirations
and individual and public immoralities. -
