Col BOILING GORDON, a prominent
citizen Of Middle Tennessee, writes to the
Columbia Herald that in a secluded spot
near Williamsport, Maury county, in that
State, lie buried TIE remains of Major
General Richard VIM, of the ReyOlu-
tionary Army of '76-a native of South
Carolina 'FOr nearly thirty years, in
continuous succession" says Col. Gordon,
che represented the people of his district
in the Congress of the United States, and
was a member during the memorable ses-
sion of 1912, and voted for the declara-
ton of war against Great Britain. A few
wears thereafter he removed with his
family to Maury county, and died about
the year 1917 or 1918. Since that time
most of the persons living in the neigh
borhood have died CT removed, leaving
but few who are familiar with the char
acter of the venerated dead. Col. Cor
don suggests that a suitable monument
should be erected over the grave of the
old soldier. lie says he knew Gen. VIM
well, "and can truly say that few men
possessed higher virtues and noblcr quail
ties"

RADICAL MOTTO ron TENNESSEE

y
A Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times states that the Radical
remedy for the alleged disturbed condi-
ton of Tennessee is as follows:
"The peace we cannot coax we must
command. An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for tOoth-and Jewish retTibution.
Let the sword reign again This is the
view of Gen. Butler, and whatever we
may say of the New England member,
wherever he sits, he is the head of the
Radical table HE is the Macgregor Of
them all"
The New York Express pointedly
says: And yet this 'Macgregor" win al
ways keep himself out of harms way,
and in the hour of danger, be again and
AGAIN but the hero of Dutch Gap and Fort
Fisher. And the writer calls such des-
pot. with his votes and his vengeance, a
man of character and genius! So was
Nero. So were Dalton and Robespierre.
There are bad characters as well as good,
and genius may belong to both. Satan
and Mephistopheles are each pictured with
a splendid genius "After all, said Iris
tam Burgess, "with all his faults, t. b,
loves his childrenlp $780, said Burgess,

thinks any better of a hyena for that

ment lust worthy of Butler, hut he is not

himself where it is much used.

STOKES EXPLAINs.

Mr.. Stokes, of Tennessee, the other day
made personal explanation concerning
Buffers cadetship sale, to the effect that
the latter only paid three hundred dollars
OF. the proceeds to help elect Stokes, in
stead of five hundred dollars, as Stokes
swore he did before the Military Commit
tee. The other two hundred dollars went
to Col. George Edgar Grishanl, late editor
of the State Journal. A Geographic
correspondent says the object of this ex-
PLANTATION was not apparent to the House,
1t is quite as unapparent to the country.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Democrat writes, March 90:
"There is a strong disposition on the part
of Radical leaders to reconstruct Tennes-
nessee by declaring the acts of the last
Legislature invalid, and the election of
Senter as Governor and Cooper as Senator,
void G5 initio. But there is a fear, if
this be done, that the effect viii be to lose
Ohio, Indiana, and close-yoting States, 10
the Republican party" Secretary Fetch
or confessed to the reporter for the Knox
vile Press and Herald that he regarded
reconstruction as hopeless, because the
Radical members of Congress were afraid
of its effect on their own elections in the
fall.

IRONICAL.

In brief speech in Congress the other
day Mr.. Maynard INDUCED in little very
severe irony at the expense of Cadet
Butler, Whittmore and Deweese:
1t is worthy of remark that nearly all
the parties who thus far have been impli
Gated in these charges have not been the
low, the unprincipled, the vile, but have
been men of character and self-respect;
men whose characters might satisfy US
that they would not consciously or de-
singedly do what they believed 20 be NOR

One woman has been restored from what her

months sickness with cough, great pain In the
lungs and prOstration, so that she is able now to
do Homework and assist in the support of her
family, and with care and continued of the
Balsam, she expects entire restoration.
Another person, young woEan, to whom gave
one bottle, has received great benefit, that her
cough, which is of months standing, is getting
better, and she has purchased second bottle, and
has every indication of speedy cure.
young man who was raising blood, and quite
weak and sick, has, by the Of two bottles, been
much improved, and is able to do little at his
work
A young man to whom recommended trial of

lungs for months past and unable to get rest or
sleep, has commenced taking it, and is now using
the fourth bottle with great benefit He said TO me,
on a recent visit he would not do without it. He is
hoping, and reasonably, it seems to me, to be able
to resume his work again.

NhNbORoi Jan. ~ lctV.
Mr. Goodldndcr,
SIR Tho now prison is becoming
The subject Of general conversation
the more j. is agiiatcd the scverer the
project is denounced at the present
time. l believe that nine-tenths of
the tax payers Of Ferguson, Bell,
Burnside and Chest townships are
opposed TO its erection at present.
They think that the Commissioners
ought to be supported in the stand
they have taken in favor of the people,
in opposition to the silly blab of a
thoughtlcss grand jury, who recon-
mendod the building of new JAIL
which brings to my mind a passage
that | once read Of an old tyrant, that
to more eifectually punish the crimi-
nails that camc under his jurisdiction,
after few days of starvation he would
have the most sumptuous meal pre-
pared and set before them, while their
hands were tied so tight that they
could not move Mt all. The old tyrant
would then invite them TO eat, saying,
why don't you eat? there is the best
of victuals before you In this cruel
manner he would torment his prison
crs to death. Jus. so with the last
five grand juries, who have said,
build build! buildlll proceed with
the new prison, but not any means
provided to build with; not one Of
those grand juries ever came forward
and said, men, proceed with the work
hero is my check for 81 900, or we will
furnish you the necessary funds at
six per cent No such generous
propositions were ever made, but on
the other hand, money being scarce,
and not to be had at ten per cent. the
hands of the Commissioners are tied.
Tho old tyrant cried, eat! eat J!
when the hungry prisoners were tied
and could not help themselves. So
now the young tyrants cry, build !!
build! when the Commissioners
hands are tied, and are unable to help
themselves. Certainly these men have
not given this subject careful con-
sideration. Some Of our citizens
propose the circulation of petitions
throughout each township to get the
names of those opposed to proceeding
with the building at the present time.
1t is strange that the taxpayers who
are all interested, are SO backward in
speaking out in meeting, and encour-
age the Commissionioners in their
praiseworthy course. Speak out gen
tlemen, the local columns Of our county
papers are open for your use.
Yours truly,
A TAX PAYER.
