GRANT AND DENT.

A Washington special of the 10th
inst. to the Louisville Courier
journal says:
"The fact has leaked out that during
the recent visit of Judge Dent to Long
Branch, with several Mississippians to
see the President, the interview was not
Il very pleasant one, as the President
,rivately informed Judge Dent that he
could not support him, as the nominee
of the Conservative Republican party;
but that on the contrary he would do all
10 his power to secure the success of the
Radical ticket He further informed
Dent that he had already been much
censured on account of the statement
that he would give to him the support of
the administration, and he wished il
understood now that he would not give
his support to him or any other relative,
as he was tired of getting himself into
trouble on account Of his family
If Grant has taken the position
here indicated, he is 4 greater fool
even than we have given him credit
for being. If he has the gumption
of a goose, he can not fail to see
that in doing so he is placing his
administration in antagonistic posi-
ton to very large majority Of
those in these States who have sus-
tanned him since his Inauguration.

stitute will in the place of it, is an
enemy to Cod
1t may perhaps also be well to re-
move many of the causes which
sometimes induce crime and incite
to violation of law; such as bear
ing concealed weapons. This in
our opinion should be prevented by
the passage of and strict enforce
ment of more rigid laws, and the
many murders and deaths which
shock the community will never
take place.
And now since conservatives are
in power wetrust that conservatism,
moderation and o disposition to
obey law and uphold its supremacy
will characterize their action, but
when the law is violated that the
offenders shall be punished even if
they be Legislative school fnnd

HON. BLOOMFIELD RIDLEY
OBITUARY.

About eleven o'clock yesterday q
telegraphic dispatch from Murfrees-
boro received in this city, announc-
ing the sudden death by apoplexy
of the distinguished gentleman
whose name heads this article. He
was well on the day previous, and
made no complaint until a short
while before his death. To relieve
sense of prostration, suddenly
Selling him, he took slight stimu-
liant, and repaired to his homo,
which he had scarcely reached, be-
fore an apoplectic attack terminated
his life at once.
Judge Ridley was native Of
North Carolina, though he had been
for many years Of citizen of Ten
nessee. He commenced the practice
of law at McMinnviLle in this State,
and upon the establishment of the
Chancery Circuit system, was
elected in 1889 one of the Chaneel-
lors, his district comprising quite a
number of counties of Middle Tens
nessee. In this high office he ac-
quired a deserved eminence, and he
is regarded as one of the founders
of the equity Jurisprudence of Ten
nessee. He was one of the original
professors in the Lebanon Law
School in connection with Judge
Alb. Caruthers and Nathan Green,
and the distinction that Institution
has acquired, is greatly due to his
learning and talents.
Judge Ridley was born in the
year 1904, and was consequently in
the sixty sixth year of his age. He
was OF robust frame and temperate
in his habits. He was a man of
warm temperament, decided in his
views, upright in his course, and es-
teemed alike for his abilities as a
lawyer and his virtues as a citizen.
His death is public loss, and a
special one 10 the community in
which he resided. The bar of Muir
freesboro and the courts of Middle
Tennessee will doubtless take ac-
ton in tribute to the memory of one
who had conspicuously illustrated
the annals of the profession.

rRnERAL INTERVENTION.

EDEkbh1 ~ 1<A~ -
.The Memphis Post (RadicaD
scouts the idea of federal interven
ton in this State because the peo-
pie did not elect Mr.. Stokes. This
was Stokes hobby to brighten the
citizens of Tennessee into his sup
port, but it failed most signally.
The Post rightfully contends that
there is just as much ground for in"
teryention in New York on the
ground of alleged fraud; that "frauds
in Tennessee no more justify inter
ference than frauds in New York !"
and that they are equally States in
the Union in full fellowship The
Post further says: "The only case
which would justify federal inter
ference is presented when a State
ceases to have a republican form of
government, which is required to be
guaranteed by the constitution, and
in the event of open hostility to the
general government. Now, the form
of State government is indicated
by its constitution, and this
must be decidedly anti-repull-
can to Justify intervention. 1t
must deny the rights Of a portion
of its citizens and fail to protect
them by its fundamental law. But
il is not pretended by those who
invoke the aid of the executive
that such condition exists in Ten
nessee; therefore there can be no
justification for any such invoca-
tion." This is sensible in the Post
at last. 1t sees now that it would
be very foolish thing to inaugu-
rate revolution to set aside the State
government because the people did
Il
| not vote to suit the Radicals, and that
there is not the remotest probability
that the President would look with
favor upon such movement, much
less to give those who should ex-
hibit rashness enough to undertake
it material aid. We guess that
| since the election Mr.. Stokes sees
it in this light. He has retired TO
his home in the "mountain district"
and we hear none of that bragga-
docio which characterised his CON-
duct of the canvass from Chatta-
nOoga to the close in this city. He
has been so utterly overwhelmed
with defeat that he has no heart to
attempt to carry out his threats OF
revolution. 1t may be fortunate
for the people of Tennessee that
they condemned his revolutionary
threats by such an overwhelming
vote. 1t has silenced the Radi-
Gals who were disposed to encour-
age Stokes, and sent them to the
shades of private life, whence they
they will not soon be resurrected
Even the Memphis Post, which was
bowling but the other day about
"tho grand trial at frauds" and
about Democrats elected to the
Legislature having perjured them
selves, now advises its cohorts to
"wait events" ''Let us see" quoth
that paper, chow the new order
of things results" POSSIBLY" il
adds, "there will be that wisdom
and moderation which will give the
people their best protection and the
national government its best sup
| port" This is the wisdom which
the Conservatives have had TO maui
into these Radicals. .

IN BANKRUPTCY.

THIS is TO GIVE NOTICE, THAT ON THE
9th day of August, A. u. 1869. q warrant
in bankruptcy was issued against the estate of
Charles Martin, of Nashville, in the county of
Davidson, and State Of Tennessee, who has
been adjudged bankrupt on his own
petition: that the payment Of any
debts and delivery of any property be-
longing to such bankrupt. to him, or for his
use, and the transfer of any property by him.
are forbidden by law: that n meeting of the
creditors of said bankrupt, to prove their debts
and to choose one or more assignees of his es-
tate, will be held at n Court of Bankruptcy, to

THE returns of the election show
that the negroes deserted the Radi-
Gals in many of the largest negro
populated counties. 1t was only
where the loyal leagues are still in
existence that the negroes were
forced TO vote the Radical ticket.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says
Secretary Boutwell, has insured the
lasting displeasure of Mrs. Grant
on account of the active part taken
by him against the conservative
Republican cause in the South, upon
which ticket Judge Dent, her
brother, expects to ascend the
gubernatorial chair of Mississippi.

On the 9th inst. the Memphis
Post declared that "the Democratic
State ticket is probably elected by
fifty thousand majority" On the
9th inst. the same paper saw sit
would have been superlatively
ridiculous to have claimed as De-
mocratic victory the election of a
Republican, nominated by Repub-
licans alone, and running on the
Chicago platform" The Post is
considerably bewildered by the re-
suit of the election.

OUR election tables this morning
present Gov. Senter's majority
as upward of sirtyfve thousand.
In East Tennessee, with five small
counties to hear from, he leads his
competitor nearly twenty-five hun
dred. In Middle Tennessee, with
several small counties unreported,
his majority is more than forty
thousand. In West Tennessee, it is
nearly tacenty-three thousand, with
four counties not reported. His
majority will be fully seventy thou
sand. The vote on the Legislative
ticket corresponds-four- fifths of
both Houses being anti-Republican
(the word is used in its technical
and party sense).
A critical analysis Of this result
offers q problem in the political
arithmetic which tyroes cannot
readily solve. Doubtless in the
track of the total solar observation
on Saturday last from Alaska to
the South Carolina coast, diago-
nally athwart this continent, there
were those lost in amazement at
the phenomenon, ignorant alike
to what to attribute it and what
would be its effects. The in
telligent and educated foreknowing
it, were not astonished at its APP
Pearance, and perfectly understood
that it was in accordance with the
eternal and immutable laws of
Nature. They had no need for
loose conjecture, nor the consulta-
ton Of obsolete horn books; nor
did they indulge in wild speculation
and representation. Nor did they
think, when the full orbed splendor
of the sun again appeared, that ga
new moon had arisen on mid-noon.'
Whoever, in regard to this poll
teal result, supposes it will be the
cause Of any new and wonderful
combinations and revolutions, that
shall blot the larger planets from
the armament, or permanently OBJ
scure great fundamental prin-
ciplcs, simply do not understand
the situation. The sixty
thousand majority in Middle and
West Tennessee, not to speak OF
that in East Tennessee, if ono
will refer to the voting that
the people of this State
have done in the last nine
years, explains itself; and not all
the contrivances and plans of poll
ticians can alter it. 1t does not
foretoken prescription or intoler
ance towards any class Of
men, white or black; it does
not propose the revival Of
extinct issues, either in State OF
national policy it does not mean
to remark old party distinctions; il
it does not indicate factious antag
Onism to the general policy Of the
Federal administration; it does moi
offer resistance to enlightened pro
gress in every department of public
affairs; but it does mean
that the true principles OF
American republicanism shall be
reasserted; and that the reckless
license with the rights, hber-
ties and property of the people.

A Life-saViDg Reformation.

A radical change has been introduced in tho
the practice of medicine. Physicians have
ceased to torture and PROSTATE their patients.
Instead of pulling down. they build up; in
stead of assaulting nature. they assist her.
Cupping, leeching. blistering. venesection, cal
omel. anthony. supplying narcotics. and rasp-
ing purgatiyes, once the favOrite resources of
me faculty, are now rarely resOrted to even by
the most dcgmatc members of the profession.
The old creed was that disease was something
that must be ex PEELED by violent artificial means
irrespective of the wear and tear Of the vital or
ganiZatiOn in the process. he new creed re-
cogniges the improYeme of the general health
as essential to the cure of all local ailments.
Hence IL is that HOSTETTER'S SIOMACH
BI TIERS, the most potent vegetable tonic that
pharmacy has ever brought to the assistance
of nature in her struggles with disease, has
been cordially approved by practitioners OF me
modern school. 1t is pleasant to reflect that
reason and philosophy have at last been victo-
rious over the errors of the past, and that thou
sands and tens of thousands. of human beings
are alive and well to. day, who would indublta-
bly, be mOuldcring IN their graves, had they
been subjected to the pains and penalties which
were deemed orthodox and indispensable thirty
or forty years ago. =,

EAGLE BRIDGE. N. IA race for a
purse Of 800 came off ut this place on
Saturday. The Messrs. Shrouds of the
Union House, Cambridge, entered two
horses, and Dyer +. Mosher, of Eagle
Bridge, one. The purse was won by one
of Shrouds' team, in very handsome
manner We have not the time made.
Another pprse of $50 was trotted for and
captured by VIM. Sisson, of White Greek.
A feature worthy Of comment in this race
was its uniform good order and fairness,
and in fact, there WAS not that amount of
and rowdyirm which usually
accompany oonntey horse races. The
moral aspect Of this place has greatly i'm
proved within the past few years; but a
short time since one could not enter a
hotel without meeting face to face game
of "poker," or some other game of chance,
in the most public rooms of the house.
Such games, if INDUCED in at all now /,
are conducted more privately, and these
places are as respectfully and orderly con-
Quoted as any in the country.

A Lot RILRoAD.-Near the Byron
Station, Michigan, on the kalamazoo and
Grand Rapids Railroad. is small tsma-
rack swamp, over which the road passes.
On Saturday evening, as the last train
passed over, the road bed settled down
until there was foot of water on the
track, and the next morning road and bed
had disappeared, and in its place was q
deep, black pool of great depth, long
enough to admit of an entire passenger
train and near the surface of the under
ground pond were quantities OF little fish
swimming around; probably surprised at
the daylight thus unceremoniously let In
upon them.
A similar phenomenon occurred In
Chester, about half mile north OF the
depot, when the Rutland and Burlington
Railroad was being built. A gravel fill,
about eight rods long and three feet deep.
had been made in swamp owned by T.
o. Sergeant, when, one morning, after a
heavy rain storm the workmen assembled
to work, they found the road over which
they had driven their gravel trains the
day before, had entirely disappeared and
in it's stead was pond of water.
In these two instances, the swamps
were originally ponds of water, but a
cru-t of vegetable matter had formed
over their surfaces sufficient to sustain a
certain amount of weight, but being over
loaded the crust broke and the roads
sunk to the bottom.
The pond in Chester was, in places,
quite deep, and required an immense
amount of gravel to make the fill.

Firemen,s Annual Inspection.

On Saturday last the entire Fire De-
partruent of Rutland was out, it being the
day for annual inspection.
A procession was formed, headed b.
st. Peters Band The several companies
marched through the principal streets OF
the village and assembled at the Railroad
Park to work their machines.
First came the Nickwackett No. l,
fresh from her victory at Plattsburg, and
was stationed at the hydrant, and soon a
stream was shot from the nozzle, but as
the speed at the brakes was increased W
TO the exciting point, the hose burst, and
showered those that stood near.
Another trial was subsequently made
with the same result
Next came Washington Co. No. 2; but
when the speed was raised to the highest
pitch, the hose burst-we think three OF
four times.
Next came tie steamer Killington. W.
took occasion to note the time that elapsed
from the setting Of the fire till the water
was carried by hose to the top OF the Cen
trail House, three story building.
When the match was touched the XII
lington and Hose Company were In the
street in front of the depot. They imme
diately started for the bydrant in tn
Park, and in six minutes there was
pressure Of ten pounds of steam. In 81
minutes and fifty seconds there we're nj
teen pounds pressure, and in eight min
utes the water was let on, and twenty -on'
seconds after it was thrown from tn
nozzle from the top of the Central House
When the speed Of the engine was IN
creased to it's full capacity. the same mis-
fortune befel it that had happened to tn
others-the hose burst and formed Tor
while a beautiful fountain, much NOR
