him. while he is recognized by all who
know him as thorough, practical BUSH
ness man, and who possesses . knowl-
edge which fts him peculiarly for the po-
sition of State Senator at this time.
Msjor Hosea Townsend is the next
name on the ticket, and is q candidate
for the Lower House of Representatives.
He came among us since the war. and
while it lasted was Major in the Fede-
raj army, and did good and faithful SER
vice for the cause he thought
right and espoused with so much
earnestness. The history of this
gentleman and his past record show
him evidently to be a man whom the
people of the country might trust inn
plioitly. He has the reputation of being
a most excellent lawyer, and at the same
time his political views might suit the
most fastidious Southerner. Then rs to
the next Representative, who will GER
tainly be, after the fifth day OF August,
Mr.. Samuel Jones, we could not euloglse
him in language high enough to make
him more acceptable to his numerous
friends already. He is generally sup
posed to be the especial Representative
Of the country people from where he was
selected, but will not fail to represent
every interest in the county in true way.
The ticket selected has in every respect
met the wishes Of the people OF this
county, and we predict for it the largest
majority ever given for any other since
the organization of our State Govern
ment. Let the people bestir themselves
on the day of election and poll the full
strength of the registered vote, which has
not been done heretofore.

tentively, and agreed that if they could
prove their assertion he would do his part
toward giving the support of the Admin
istration, to the other candidates. The

which they will lay before him.

rHE CONSERVATIVE TICKET.

Tennessee, in her pslmy days oil the
past, and when her citizens could select
any one Of their number for office, unre-
stricted By test oaths, was never repre-

more worthy members than the ticket
nominated BY the Conservative Demo-

head of the ticket, Mr.. Cabins, is an
old citizen Of the county, and thereby
identified with its material interest and
the future development Of its resources.

Mississippi = Ex-GOvernor sharkey
ON the Dent Movement s59
From the Washington dispatch New York

From the Washington dispatch New York
Herald. 26th,l r-ae ss1 tga
Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, who
arrived here yesterday, is very sanguine
of the success of the Conservative ticket
at the approaching election in that State.
Judge Dent, he says, will undoubtedly
receive the nomination for Governor
from the Conservative Convention, which
it is expected will meet in September. :.
1t is thought the Radicals will nominate
James L. Alcorn, native Mississippian,
who formerly represented the State in
the United States Senate. Sharkey, who
is regarded as an extreme man of the
State rights school, says the people Of
Mississippi are anxious to get back into
the Union, and although under other cir
cumstances, they would not, perhaps,
take Republican like Judge Dent,
yet they are compelled to choose
between moderate rAsa like him and
the extreme Radicals, and of the
two evils they think they will take the
least. The Mississippi POLITICIANS, Of
whom Governor SharkeY ia q type, have
concluded that it is wise policy for them
to follow the example of Virginia, and
not only get into the Union, but obtain
control Of her own State affairs. The
Governor thinks the Mississippi negroes
will vote the Conservative ticket in about
the same proportion ca they did in Vir-
GINA. He says they are gradually drop
ping off from the Radicals, aud, with the
assurance that their rights will be pro-
tected, prefer, as rule, to 20 with thei.
old masters He expresses some fear that
General Ames, who, he says, is violent
Radical, will use his influence and power
as military commander 10 defeat the Con-
servatiyes, unless he is cautioned on that
point BY President Grant. y a1A

The slight struggle between duty aud pleas

and softly whispered in her ear " For our

put her arms around her neck and said

Seating herself beside the bed, her mamma
said, " Have | not heard my little girl often

that this was an opportunity for little act
Of self-denial. You must not think, because
you are not grown, and are not doing some

A GREEN SPOr.

Tire late Noah Wnslow was fond Of telling
- -roAowsug incident OF MS mercantile life
and he never closed the narration but with
swimming eyes.
During the financial crash and crisis OF
" hity-seven, when heavy men were sinking
all around us, and banks were tottcring, our
house became alarmed in view Of the condi-
ton OF rs own affairs. The partners-three
OF us, OF whom | was the -enior-met in our
private Office for consultation. Our junior
had made careful inventory Of everything,

friends but in vain The amount Of money
we needed was not to be had. Men who held
gold would not let it go, save upon solid secu-
rty-and the only security we could give was
our word and honor for the many thousands
due Us were as nothing in that hour.
Two whole days l stroye and begged, and
then returned to the counting room in despair.

my Saryent Dorr..

Many years ago the good people Of Lyme,
Connecticut, were earnestly opposed in their
efforts TO settle a pastor over the only church
in town, by a cross grained man by the name
Of Dorr. At a parish meeting, while the mat

arose and said he wanted to tell a dream he
had last night " | thought" he said, " that
