The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1869-11-11

In spite of the efforts of the conserva-
tive press it cannot be denied that there
is a very strong disposition on the part of
the people of Mississippi to repudiate
Dent. There is lurking suspicion on the
mind of the masses, which the best polit-
cal management finds it hard to combat,
much less repress, that Dentism is merely
genteel carpet-baggery. This, allied to
the fact that the Dent platform and the
Alcorn platform are pretty much identi-
cal, and that Dent has not been able to Sc
cure the support of his "big brother-in-
law" occasions a certain sense of disap-
pointment, not to say disgust, which is
likely to be manifested by a very small
vote on election day. 1t is to be regret
ted that our conservative friends could not
find a representative somewhat nearer
home. 1t begins to look as if the Dent
business was a bad investment.

wmch wei eSyed the last vcstiec
of free republican government, but having
recently received from the hands Of the
CONSERVATIVES north, such a terrible check,
their utter humiliation will soon be hcrali-
ed, with joyous shouts, throughout the
country.
We are responsible for all original arti-
Giles that may appear in the ENTERPRISE.
but hope they may all be of such a nature,
as to give oTense to no one. We will. Of
course, refer to any and all items that may
come under our observation, whenever we
deem it proper, and intend, as near as
it is possible, to deal justly toward all.
Now to our friends and pros,u, patrons,
we have a few words Tor You to ponder
over.
When We assumed the responsibility of
publishing the paper, as you are all aware,
we done 50 under very unfayorable circum-
stances, the patrons having lost all conf
dence in it, and a great many of you were
unwilling to continue in its support, for
fear that you would not be benefited
thereby; and even doubted that the paper
would be regularly issued. Now what DO
you think of it! If any of you have not
received it regularly, it is on account Of
your not calling for it, or some postal IT.
regularities, over which we hayono control.
No failure on our part has ever occurred.
and, providence permitting, we don't in
tend that such shall be the case. We
feel that we have done our duty, We have
carried out our "yiews and ayowals." The
appearance and circulation of the paper
will prove to you that, through energy and
perseverance, We have gained for the pa
per, a patronage, we venture to say, not
surpassed by any country paper of its age.
Our future prospects are very bright.
If the patrons will help us to increase our
list, We will add to the size of the paper.
We should have at least three hundred
more subscribers in this county than we
now have, and it would require but little
c~xertion on the part Of each one to obtain
them should this be done, we will issue a
paper that old Monroe would be Justly
proud of. Will you do it?
1t is our purpose to make the paper, if
possible, acceptable to every one, and in
doing this, We will advocate right and JUS
tice in every particular, let the odium fall
upon whom it may.
We have passed through the frey or
deal, and made for the paper a name
which, we hope, may long be cherished
and supported by all who have given it
aid and comfort. And, now that Tennes-
see is in a prosperous condition, peace and
harmony reiguing throughout her borders,
let us all endeavor to make this peace
more secure, by encouraging and building
up good conservative papers, all over her
domain.
Let the "banners of peace" be held up,
And long may they wave
"O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave

New York State, which gave Seymour
a majority OF 5000, now gives the Demo-
cratic ticket an average majority of 90
600. The city of New York polled 90
600 less votes than last year. These were
a loss to the Democrats, whose majority
of 1000 in 1868, in the metropolis, is
now but 10000. The Republican vote in
the rural districts has largely fallen off.
The Democrats have increased their
strength outside the city of New York,
nearly 10000, and with u reduced major
ity Of 10000 in the metropolis they have
carried the State by 10000, a gain Of H.
coo over last year. For the first time in
fifteen years, the Legislature is Democrat
ic iii both branches.
Massachusetts,, which gave Grant IT,
coo majority in 1868, now gives the Re-
publican candidate for Governor but l2,-
coo.
Wisconsin, gives this year 5000 Repub-
lican majority. Last year $4,000.
New Jersey, Kansas, Illinois and West
Virginia have all heavily increased the
Democratic vote Of 1868.
Thus have the people spoken. Above
the claims of party rises the cry for u re-
form in the Government. The people de-
mand less taxation, restoration of financial
e%asiness, and integrity in the affairs of the
nation.
The Constitutional Convention elected
in Illinois last week, is pretty evenly divi-
ded. 1t is reported to be composed of AZ
Republicans, 40 Democrats, two Conserva-
tiycs and one independent. The indepen-
dent will probably become an important
parsonage, as he is likely to hold the bal
ance Of power.

Gratis intend to do with their victory" said
the "Dcmocrats proposed making the leg
stature honest and to use it for promoting

which the radicals have not done. We

A BAD INDIAN KILLED, IN HUMBOLDT
CoUNTY.-The Humboldt Register of the
22nd inst, gives the particulars Of a notori-
ously bad Indian as follows:
A VIGOROUSLY bad Indian named Cinnabsr
John. was killed by a party of rancheEs in
the East Range on last Tuesday. The
circumstances connected with the affair
were given US as follows Mr.. George
Lambertson, who had been in Union
vile on business, was returning to his ranch
in Pleasant Valley, on last Monday, and when
crossing the East Range, about midway be-
tween Leach's and Donnely's Ranches he met
spuaw who begged MIN to save ner. Before
he had time TO learn the cause of her fears,
Cinnabar John and two other Indians ap-
peared on the ground, aud commenced an as
sault on him with stones and other missiles,
with the intention he supposed, Of killing
him. He, however, managed TO escape from
them with a few slight wounds and bruises,
and arrived at Donley ranch late that night.
Next morning, three or fonr men employed
on the ranch started in pursuit ofthe Indians,
and succeeded in overtaking Cinnabar John,
whom they killed on sight. This Indian has
long been terror to the settlers, and was
noted for his stock-stealing and devilish pro-
clivities. Capt. Sou once delivered him up TO
Lance Nightingale, when the latter was Act
ing Indian Agent in this district, bnt upon
promises of futurs good behavior being given
he was released and permitted to go unpun-
ished. 1t is generally believed that he was
the leader of the party of Indians who way
laid aad killed Raglan, in Evans canon,
four years ago. Nfither the whites nor the
peaceable Indians, from whom he had stolen
the sQuaw above mentioned, will regret his
death.

A GoO0 BEAR TRAP STORY.-The Heads

A Goo0 BEAR TRAP SToRY.-The Heads
burg Flag Of May Odd relates the following
For some time recently bears have been
giving some alarm and considerable annoy
i.nce to the people living on the road to the
Geysers. They have made several raids on
the ranchers' stock, and some efforts have
been made to thin the destructive beasts out.
Edward Hicklin lately built heavy log trap,
and succeeded last week IL catching-him-
self He went into the trap to adjust the
bait, and in doing SO he sprung the trigger,
when down came the heavy door. Here was
a predicament. Penned up in 4 close log
prison, with only room enough TO kneel
down in, and apparently nothing else for
him to do in this world but to say his pray
ers. He was in secluded spot, and far from
any house. No prospect of deliyerance ex
cept the chance visit of some hunter. Like
a man of energy, though, he determined TO
make an effort to release himself from his
dungeon. Cropping about, he found a piece
of wooden pin. On close examination, he
discovered a knot-hole in the door, into
which he put the pin, and, by exerting all
his strength, succeeded in raising it enough
to get his foot under it; then by Infinite
straihing aud lifting he gradually worked
himself out under the ponderous door.
This, Hicklin thinks, will be a lesson to him
to put secure prop under the door hereafter
when he goes into bear trap.

Think OfThat.

1t cost the people Of the United States
very nearly three times as much to car
rv on the Federal Government from
1851 to 1858, inclusive, under 'Repub'
lican administrations as it cost to ad-
minister it from the 4th of March 178s
to 860-Seventy-O -Oae years-under Dem
ocratic and Wing administrations. Ii
this not an astounding fact "copper"
head Paper.
Yes. 1t is. And it is an astound-
ing fact that a party which boasts that
it had been in power so long, should
rush into treason and rebellion when
fairly beaten at the ballot box. And il
is more astounding that the organs OF
said party should parade before the peo-
pic the enormous sum which its treason
cost, as o reason why it should be re-
stored to power, Astounding fact.'
So it is. The impudence of the devil,
when he offered Christ the Kingdoms
ofthe world, and the glory of them, If
he would fall down and worship him,
was maiden modesty compared with
the impudence Of this party, thrusting
the cost of its treason before the people
as a reason whyit should be restored
to power
"Think of that" Ofcourse the peo-
pie will "think Of that" They have
been thinking Of that ever since they
buried your traitorous leader under a
majority of one hundred and one thous-
and votes six years ago. And they
will "think Of that with an intensity
of thought on next Tuesday that will
tell you that no traitor shall hold the
highest office in the great loyal State OF

The 18th Amendment.

a short time ago We gave our views
about the 18th Amendment, holding
that the action of the Ohio Legislature
in May last, in rejecting it, was a final
ity. We know that some good lawyers
differ with US, We mentioned the
matter in our speeches ct Whaleys
School House, and at Crabtree's. We
have been told that the Democratic
speakers who afterwards spoke at Wha-
ley's, did not attempt to dispute the
correctness of our proposition, but said
that Gov. Hayes had failed to notify
the authorities at Washington City,
and thus left the matter open for future
action on the part Of the Legislature
We have been told that the Herald
made the same charge against Gov
Hayes, but did not dispute the correct
ness of our views upon the subject,

the matter, and here is the answer he

What is Dem0cracY Z

1t is utterly impossible to answer
the above. Our readers have seen the
letter of Gen. Rosecrans, the first can
didate in the campaign, for Governor
of Ohio. And they have seen the rec
ord of Mr.. Pendleton, the second can
didate of the Democracy for the same
Office. They are as opposite in their
nature as oil and water.
In the last number of the Chillicothe
Advertiser is this:
VOTE AGAINST TIE ABUSES.
The people this fall by voting for Mr..
Pendleton and the Democratic ticket
will determine these points of issue:
/. They will declare that money is
too scarce and that they want an ad-
ditional number of greenbacks issued.
2. That the bonds shall be paid as
we agreed to pay them in legal tenders,
or they do not want to pay them at all.
While the Adcertiser demands that
the bonds shall be paid in promises to
pay, Or not paid at all, Gov. Hoffman
of New York, who will probably be the
next Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, made a speech the other day at
the Ulster County Fair, in which he
said:
"There is no way to get out of debt
but one, either for nations or for indl-
viduals. A man cannot pay his debts
by giving his note, nor can any govern
ment pay its obligations by the issue OF
iTedeemable paper. There is but one
standard of value, and that has heen
fixed by the common consent OF the
world, and by that standard must all
debtors ultimately be judged. AS NO
quack remedies can remove deep-seat-
ed diseases, so no ingeniously- devised
financial schemes can point out any but
the one way to pay a nations debts"
But we do not have to go to New
York to find the Democracy chawing
itself up. The advertiser hoists itself
over the fence by a tug at the waistb and
of its own breeches. Look at the first
specification in the above extract.
There greenbacks are money, and they
are too scarce, and the people want
more of them. But in the very next
column, in speaking of Gov. Hayes, the
Advertiser says he
"Is the candidate of the men who
want to pay the poor man in rags, the
rich man in gold"
The greenbacks which in the other
column were money, and more of them
are wanted by the people, here are
"rags," and not fit for the poor man.
Oh shame on such hypocrisy.
Do you think the people are fools,
or rascals? Or both2
