have been regarded as leaders of their
party. They are beginning to realize
that the people will hold them in
the future to strict unaccountability
for their acts. Thus we have q split
in the Republicans in Congress, no
doubt the result of returning sense
of the rank and file of that party,
long led in darkness, 10 the old ways
of their fathers. Men are the same
in all countries and i'm all parties in
regard to important and fundamental
principles. The masses are honest,
as well In one part Of the civilized
world as they are i'm another. The
principle of mutual protection, which
creates communities and govern
ment, is the same everywhere
and that principle involves and in
culcates honest and fair-dealing be-
tween all men. 1t is this very prin-
ciple which inspires patriotism and
makes a man love his country, and
the patriotism of the people, based
upon the laws of NATURAL protection,
may yet save this country from an
arcby and oppression, when the people
regain their sober senses and come to
realize the dependence of all parts of
the Union upon each other for gener-
al prosperity, governed, as it should
be, by wholesome laws made accord
ing to the creed of civil liberty.
The signs of the times are inspiring
to every patriotic heart, and every
patriot desires to see his country
thrive and prosper. No people can
become thrifty and prosperous when
divided. The workings of the gov
ernmept must be beneficent and har-
monious. 1t cannot be when it at
temps to wrest from the people the
Inherent rights Of its citizens who are
not the slaves of the government, but
the creators of 1t. The creator will
not permit the created to become the
master. The people are the masters I;
the Government is the creation of the
people, and office-holders are their
agents to do their will. Thus, i'm
PEELED by the obligations of mutual
protection, and those obligations fully
realized and understood by the people
as reason again asserts herpower over
thepassions ofpartisanism, thepeople
will force their agents to administer
the government agreeably to the laws
of national unity. 1t is, in this way,
that the patriotism of the people
may save the country.

CLARKSvILLE TOBACCO MARKET

For the week just ended, our mar
ket has evinced much firmness and
closed buoyant, and we feel no hest
fancy in claiming u slight advance
over prices obtained six weeks ago.
Receipts have been liberal and offer
ings large, with a very fair represen-
tation of the different grades.
On Tuesday last, Messrs. Turnkey
Il Woodbridge, of the Elephant ware
house, sold several hogsheads and
boxes of tobacco purchased on the
Paducah market and shipped here,
all of which paid well-one hid.
selling for 50 so per hundred more
here than it cost there. Bright wrap
pers, offered by this warehouse,
brought from $40 90 to S33 90 per
hundred; Mr.. Nash, of Louisville,
purchasing a very pretty hickory leaf
at the last named price.
Within the last day or two we have
heard n great deal OF complaint of
the ravages of the fly on young to-
bacco plants. Some localities have
not yet been visited by this plague,
but much apprehension is felt
throughout the tobacco region of the
visitation becoming general, and If
we do not have more fair weather
than heretofore, we feel compelled to
admit that these fears are not with
out foundation. Our reports in this
behalf are from the most reliable
sources, or we would not give them
publicity. AS a remedy that we
know has proven efiicacious hereto
fore, we advise liberal top-dressing
OF the plant beds with Super-phos.
plate of lime or raw bone dust.
The following statement embraces
the sales of the week ending to-day.
In some instances we are compelled
to make an approximation, not hav-
ing the precise numbers:
Smith & Hutchings, about 90 hhds.,
from 81 so to SIS 90; Harrison g.
Shelby, about $50 hhds., from 50 10
to $li 90; Turnkey & Woodbridge,
about 100 hhds., from SIS 40 to S14 25,
and three boxes at 500 90 to S33 90.
This house sold crop raised by VIM.
Mcdaniel, of Christian county, at an
average of Sl2 30, Tugs included
Whitlock, Mckinney Il Co., 95 hhds.,
from 81 50 to SIS 90; John j. Thomas
Il Co, 1856 hhds., from SIS 90 to $l4 90.
Tobacco, yesterday, was tso soft in
order, but prices were well main
tanned, and our foreign buyers pitched
in lively and took all good and me-
dunn rich tobacco at good prices.
Planters are well pleased with their
sales, and everything looks favorable
ut this time for full prices during the
season. Advices from New York
and New Orleans show more dispose
ton to activity than heretofore.

The Providence Journal of Monday tells of a
very singular affair which occurred in that city,
On Thursday of last week Rev. Mr. Hatha-
way of Bristol, received letter dated at Prov
idence, and purporting to come from Dea. John
A. Wood, inviting him to supply vacant pull
pit in that city on the following Sunday. Mr.
Hathaway accepted the invitation, and on Sat-
day morning was met at the depot in Provi-
dence by young man who represented him
self as the son of Dea. Wood, and that he had
been sent by his father to escort the clergyman
to boarding house. They went together to
house on South Main street, and the reverend
gentleman was shown by his guide to a room
After few moments passed in ordinary con-
versation, Mr.. Hathaway, who is man of con-
siderable property, was greatly astonished by
having his companion draw pistol, which he
pressed against Mr.. Hathaway's breast and de-
manded his money or his life. Mr.. Hathaway
handed over 81, all the money he had, and
drew check for $500. He reported the affair
to the police, and young Wood was arrested as
he was preparing to leave the house. Strip
ping off his disguise he was found to be young
man named Andrews, who had lived with Mr..
Hathaway for two years. He had on his per-
son four bottles of strychnine; and his scheme,
which was shrewdly conceived, was evidently
to rob and murder Mr.. Hathaway, but the fact
that his victim had but little money with him
disarranged his original plan.
