Murder. of a Tennesseean,

From the Kansas City Journal of Com
mcrce, we see that city has been the
scene of a carnival of crime; murders, as
saults and roberies being the order of the
dty. One of the victims was murdered
and the body placed on the railroad track
and run over by a passenger train. The
Journal says:
"From. papers found on the body it was
learned that the name of the man was
George D. Campbell, and it is thought his
home had been in Maryvillc, Tennessee.
lie had been a Confederate soldier as
learned from a letter written 6 years ago.
He was dressed in a neat suit of black,
had on new boots, and silk hat, and was
probably twenty-five years of age. lie
was about five feet ten inches in height,
with dark complexion, black hair and
moustache."

Bring in Your Wheat,

We believe, as u general rule, those
farmers have been most successful, in The
long rUR, who have made it a rule to
come into market with their dispoSable
crops at as early a day as possible. At
least We have frequently heard it SO stated
In Middle and Southern Georgia, where
cotton is more extensively cultivated than
all other crops combined, wheat is selling
at SIPS per bushol, and is being freely
offered at that price. In this market it
readily commands Sl.0O per bushol. At
this price, taking everything into consid-
Grafton, our home market will be found
more advantageous in many respects than
those farther South.
Interested parties arc trying to lead
farmers into the belief that the price of
wheat must 20 up as the season advances.
They argue from the partial failure of the
crop in portions of Europe and in isola-
ted parts Of this country, But it isa WE'LL
known fact that the wheat yield generally
for 1870 has so far been a most prolific
one, and taking past experience for a
guide, its price, under the circumstances,
is fully as apt to decline us to advance.
1t seems to US that as 9l.00 per bushel
for wheat is Il rcmuncrativo price for our
farmers, and as "a bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush," it will be good
policy for them to convert as much of
their crop as they can spare into cash, or
its equivalent, and that without delay.
The market here is almost literally at the
doors Of many Of our farmers. Avoid fu-
ture risks by bringing your wheat in and
disposing of it now. Relieve your minds
OF all anxiety at once, and provide the
comforts for yourselves and families that
some of you have been doing without.
Bring along the wheat.

The August Election.

The election for Judges of the Circuit
and Superior Courts and Attorney-Gen er-
ais, which will take place throughout the
State on the first Thursday in next month,
will be of great Importance in its bearing
upon the peace, happiness and prosperity
of the State at large, and the citizens of
every portion of Tennessee should be wide
awake to the fact. 1t may not be un-
profitable to remember that in times past,
even as far back as the early settlement
of Tennessee, our fathers made better Sc
loctions for their Judiciary, were more
careful to choose men properly qualified,
learned in the law aud of irreproachable
character, than has been our habit in la
ter years. Are we as a people deteriora-
ting? Has party spirit blinded our per-
captions to such an extent that we can no
longer discriminate between the WORTHY
and the unworthy, between base metal
and the pure and genuine. While we
are progressing in the arts and sciences
far beyond anything dreamed of by our
fathers, VIC arc sadly neglectful of many
of our most important interests. There
is an u|naccountable supincncss and
Indifference, as a general thing, in regard
to elections, whether for the higher OF
lower grades of office. Yet there neyeg
was such a scramble for office, as the pro-
fuse announcements in the journals of the
day will show, and that in many instances
by men who can boast of nothing save OF
having served in this or that army, of
having been prosecuted and driven from
their homes, Or, at least, of having been
shot at and most miraculously missed,
and who therefore regard themselves as
worthy of the most responsible positions.
These remarks arc not intended to be
personal or to reflect on any particular
class OF aspirants for office, but the truth
of the picture will be readily recognized.
We merely wished to call attention to the
fact that there are many talented men
mentioned for the Supreme bench, in
each grand division of the State, and it
becomes the duty of the electors to seek
information on the subject, from reliable
sources, before casting their votes. While
we would not be governed by section OF
politics in our selection, we desire the
success of Independent, Constit utional
men, who will act from principle, and who
are incapable of being swerved from the
discharge of their high trust by time.

Mr.. \. B.. Wilson, editor of the Greene

We should judge Mr.. Wilson to be a gen.
tlemon, lie was required to support r,
Il. Butler, but rather than advocate the
cause of IA man in whom he had no conf.
dGnco, he gave up the position. The pro-
prietor of the New Era, Mr.. Lyon was
once a decent man. But he sold himself
to Butler for a>No. 1 Washington press.
AS a consideration for the press he agreed
to print anything on it that Butler might
order. For Mr.. Wilson's credit VIC are
glad to know that Mr.. Lyon has to look
out for a new editor.

there is nc accounting for the result.
