The Government,

We have "positive information from
Washington that the government will
not set aside the election which occur
red yesterday, and declare Billy Stokes
Dictator. The Government cares no
more about the defeat of Billy Stokes
than we do, and now the election is
over we hope our Radical friends will
cease uttering their seditious and rebel
lous sentiments on the subject. We in
vested in that way once, and it didn't
nigh pay out. 1t would be a grim old
joke-to set an election aside on account
of Stokes. The following from For
ney's Chronicle ought to satisfy the
brethren:
We must even abide the issue, and he
content with the costly lesson it will
teach. The case of Tennessee is not
like that of Virginia. The latter is not
Union. and before she is there is some
hope of uniting the Republican party
and of defeating the old party manag-
ers. But Tennessee is already restored.
There is no faithful Congress to step in
to save our friends in that State. The
loss of the Legislature is loss irrepar-
able.
"Thc loss of the Legislature is loss
irrcparable.' But the loss of Stokes is
of no account in the estimation of

That Comet at Last.

We had intended writing para
graph about the comet whose approach
we told our readers about some months
ago, and which is now visible in the
northern heavens, but the following, in
the Nashville Banner, saves lis the trou-
bic:
For ten years past astronomers have
told us that during the months of July,
August and September, in this year.
the most wonderful comet the world
has ever known would rcappear. This
comet is on time. 1t is now to be seen
with the naked eye, any clear night, in
the northern part of the heavens, be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, and
from that time till the morning star
rises. Astronomers assure us that this
comet will approach nearer the earth
than any comet ever did before, and
that either the earth or the comet will
have to change its course, or Il collision
is inevitable. This comet is said to be
many thousand times larger than the
earth. It's solid mass of fire, with a
tail of fire that would reach around the
earth more than hundred times, and u
collision with our planet is not an event
to be very ardently desired.

Treasury Mismanagement.

to succeed him, and declares that he
will make the Secretary regret MS

cause of the delay in prosecuting the
cases against tho neg no messengers who
robbed Comptroller Hurlburd's Office,
and how that officer has accounted for
the missing money. He declares that
the money on which Turner, the Geor-
ola postmaster, was arrested, is por-
ton of the identical money stolen by
the negro Schurman, confidential mes
senger of IIurlburd, not q dollar of
which was counterfeit. He further de-
clares that he had the evidence to con-
Wet Schurman, but when the case was
called for trial in the Criminal Court
the District Attorney stated it was the
desire of the Government not to prose-
cute the case. Wood speaks of the ac-
ton of the Secretary in allowing the

to print the national currency as n blum

a Horrible SuSDiciOn.

We find the following in the Mem
phis Appeal of Sunday:
Since our first publications but little
light has been thrown on the probable
cause of the recent casualty on the
Clarksvillc Rail- DAD. This little. how
ever. leads to a suspicion which for the
honor of humanity we hope may be
speedily cleared up. We are credibly
Informed that some of the people living
in the neigborhood of the accident have
been caught with property Oh them
known to belong to the deceased or
wounded, and it is further said that the
affair was caused by the removal of a
rail or the saving of the trestle work
by certain parties who are strongly sus-
pectcd. So far, nothing is known posi-
lively, but investigations are now pro-
crossing which will certainly develop
these things if they exist.

The Senatorial Canvass.

Col. Clemcntson, the Conservative
candidate for State Senator, closed the
canvass in brilliant effort at the Court
House, on Wednesday. twas matter
of some regret to us that indsposition
prevented his Radical competitor, Mr..
Phillips, from being present to particle
pate in the occasion. Some of Mr..
Clemeutson's more sanguinc friends cs-
innate his majority at two thousand.
After a careful poll of the District, we
put it at about half that number.

The Canvass Closed.

The candidates for Governor tiniI he'd
up the canvass at Nashville last SA ur-
day. The following is the last scrdhm
of the "Bald Eagle
"Gcn. Stokes in closing his twenty
minutes reioinder said: [ will now
raise my warning voice to notify the
people that if they will 90 after that
man Senter they will be led into trou-
bic. If on next Thursday you will come
to the ballot-box and vote for me, all
will be well but if you elect Scntcr,
swear by the powers above | will pro-
coed to Washington and repeal the law
removing the disabilities of Gov. Sem
ter, a. we'll as those of Rebels, and
place them where they were twelve
months ago, and there they shall stay"
If Stokes is correctly reported in the
iabovc, we advise him never to go to
Washington again, not even to serve
out his unexpired term, but to hunt his
hole. not in the sky, but in DeKalb,
crawl in, and stay there. A man capa-
bic of uttering such a sentiment as that
ought never to attempt to hold up his
head among his fellow-mcn again.

From Mississippi.

IuKA, August III, lS69.
Poets, in heavcn-inspircd verse, have
sung the praises of lovely woman from
time immemorial. And, surely, she Is
worthy of our admiration and our
praise! She it is who, by association,
developes the finer feelings Of our ma
ture and holds In check the strong pas
sions of our will. She it is who comes,
like a dancing sunbeam, athwart our
pathway, shedding joy, and peace, md
gladness all around. Her mission il
one of bcnevolence. But for her, man
were barbarian, brute. 1nstinctivcly
bow to the name of woman and yield
her grateful homage. i
Seated in a rusticly-woven chair,
looking out through the dreamy mists
of a fragrant Havana, with "the moon
beams resting like quiet benediction"

Earthly angels dispersed around the
bubbling springs and cool shades Of
"The Grove" who could resist the in
diligence of such thoughts? Their
fairy forms, in robes of snowy white,
(fit emblems of their purity,) fit like
gentle breezcs among the trees. Their
joyous voices, breathing spices and rich
perfume. as borne on the evening breeze
to our willing ears, bring to mind the
treasured stories of Oriental life among
the waving palms so magnificent and
so grand.
Beautiful and accomplished women
from far and near are gathered here
and have seen those of many cities;
but in all my wanderings Athens comes
up in my mind as being blessed with
prcttier girls, more noble women, than
any town of similar dimensions. con-
fcss l am partial to East Tennessee
therefor. There, on her green hills and
in her blooming valleys, in all her ma
tive loneliness, the flashing eye and
healthy check tell of something more no
bic than mere butterfly of fashion.

The Candidates.

Quite number of candidates with
drew from the canvass in disgust about
1 p. m, yesterday. Some of them are
in II bad condition this morning-look-
ing like victims of misplaced affection,
or the latter end of an ill-spent life. We
hope, however, that they will take the
matter kindly, and at once fall into some
employment more adapted to their
genius, consoling themselves with the
reflection that better men before them
have been defeated, and probably will
be again, unless the Republic should go
up and the Empire ensue.

That Correspondence.

Napoleon and L. S. Grant have con-
graduated and metaphorically shaken
hands with each other through the me-
dunn of the new French cable. We do
not think the Presidents allnsion to
"thc liberal policy of the United States,
pursuant to which this Cable has been
landed" was, for obvious reasons, a
very felicitous expression, under the
circumstances. 1t was appropriating
"all the honors' to ones self, as it
wcrc,-and that, to say the least of it,
was not polite.

Taxcs--.TaNcs. :

Complaints (says the Atlanta Mtelii-
gencer,) reach us from every quarter in
regard to the taxation imposed upon the
people by the Federal Governments 1t
has become "an old song" and is daily
sung. The inhabitants of every house,
hold in the land chant it till they have
become wcaried of 1t. From the North
the complaint comes to the South in
this wise: "On every hand and for
everything, the people are taxed, doub-
ly taxed, trcbly taxed. The govcrn-
ment is raising enormous sums of mo-
ney--taking it out of the resources and
even the comforts of the people; aud
still its expenses are not lessened. The
deficiency bills come in heavily every
winter, aud next winter they will be
larger than ever. Occasionally a cry is
raised that the debt has been lesscncd
for month or two. But it is lcsscncd
only by draining the life-blood from
the resources of the people, and injur-
ing business interests. In the aggre-
gate of the year it has not been and may
not be lcssencd at all. We hope it may
be in the future. Certainly it ought to
be lessencd two hundred millions of
dollars year at the rate the people are
now taxed. But so long as Congress
squapdcrs the money. and the revenue
system is continued upon loose and
erroneous policy, the taxes will be
gricvous ana the people VIII suucr.
So much for Federal taxation. Add
to that, State. County, and City taxa
ton. and well may the people mourn
over the burden they have to bear. How
it will end, we know not; neither do
we know what measure of relief will
be put in operation that will rid them
of it. But something must be done.
else the obnoxious doctrine of rcpudia-
ton will find more advocates than
most men think at this time. The taxes
must be reduced, and that speedily. The
people absolutely groan under them.

acknowledgements of the South

The New York World in comment
ing on the sudden popularity Of en-
reimbursement of the ''white folk" of
the South, expresses the following very
decided opinion: "The anomaly of
keeping down the superior race is a
failure, after five years of Congress and
the army to bolster it up. This is the
abandonment of reconstruction. Its
keystone was white disfranchisement.
That pulled out, the whole arch falls.

wing of the Republican party, having
written letter to DR.. Gilmer, Chair
mani cf the Central Committee of the
Walker wing. saying that the two shall
reunitc for carrying the Republican
pr'neiplcs in the State. the latter writes
a letter in reply, saying the Walker Re-
puhlicans left the Wells party because
they were forced to do so or oppose the
policy of the President. After allud-
ing TO the almost unanimous indorsc-
mcnt OF the Republican principles by
the white men al the State and assert
ing that the colored people who were
misled by the Wells leaders are now
flocking by Hundreds to the Grant-Wa

which resulted in the withdrawal of Col.
Parks. By this step, which secured the
election of McClary, Colonel Parks has
