In want Of patronage. The only reason for

Is that our friend, Mr.. Franc, is selling

Death of Hon. A. J. Fletcher.

Hon. a. j. Fletcher, late Secretary of
State, died at his residence, near Clevc-
land, on Sunday last. His disease was
congestion of the brain and liver.
Although Mr.. Flctchcr's early oppor-
t%unitics for securing an education were
limited, he succeeded in attaining au en-
viable position at the bar and a very no.
ticeablc one in the Legislative halls of the
State. lie was elected to the State Sen
ate in 1865, but his earnest opposition to
Andrew johnson caused his defeat for the
same Office two years alterward. In 1865
he was elected Secretary Of State, Il posi-
ton he held until within u few months of
his death. Mr.. FIctcberIad many friends
and admirers, aud his loss will be severely
felt.
last Friday some of our exchanges
stated that Mr.. Fletcher was recovering,
and Oh Saturday we thoughtlessly copied
in our supplement Il little paragraph in re-
lation thereto. Under the circumstances
VIC much regret its publication.

tion acts, aud the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Articles of amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States having been ratified
in good faith by a legal Legislature Ofsaid
State, it is entitled to a representation in
the Congress Of the United States, but
nothing in this act contained shall be cou-
strucd to deprive the people of Georgia
Of the right to election for members OF the
General Assembly of said State as proyid-
ed for in the Constitution thereof; and
nothing in this or any other act Of Con-
gress shall be construed so as to affect the

The Supreme Judgeship.

We confess to a feeling of d~isappoint-
ment that the Convention at Nashville did
not sec fit to place upon its Judicial Tick
ct the names of T. Nixon Vandyke and
Joseph b. IIeiskell. Conventions, as they
have been managed for some years past,
usually fail to Indicate the will of the
people whom they are supposed to repre-
sent, or rather to be. If there can be any
fairness in them, the action ofthe body in
question is entitled to the consideration
Of the people of Tennessee. Nearly every
county in the State was represented by
men Of ability and character. The pro-
ceediDgs were digni6cd and harmonious.
And, better than ALL, the gentlemen nom
mated are all Of them men who can be
heartily supported by any intelligent citi-
zen, however deeply he may have the
welfare of his State and country at heart.
The ticket now stands
East Tenuesseo-Thomas A. r. Nelson
and James W. Deadrick.
Middle Tcnncssec-A. 0. p. Nicholson
and 2. Turnoy.
West TennesScc-Thomas j. Freeman
and J. j. Z. SneCd.
Notwithstanding our disappointment at
not having all of our favorites endorsed
by the Convention, we shall cordially sup
port the nominees and do all in our power
TO help secure their election.

Obituary.

Died Of consumption, on the morning of
the 18th of July, at the residence of his
mother, RCagan's Station. Il. T.,V e. G..
Il. r., john Nj. REAGAN, aged twenty
two years and five months.
Well yersed in the various branches of
a liberal education, he commenced last
Fall attending the Law School at Leba-
non, Tenn. He there prosecuted his stud
les with diligence and success until
Spring, when his efforts were cut short by
the hand Of disease. For two years pre-
yious he had been u student Of the Uni
v%ersity of Virginia, where he was distin-
guished for his studious habits and gentle
manly department. Frank, generous and
warm-hearted, he made a host of devoted
friends wherever he moved, but only those
who knew him intimately could truly APP
p%reciato his many virtues, Combined
with 50 many noble qualities, he possessed
talents Of a high order, and his friends
predicted for him II brilliant career of fu-
turc usefulness. But neither mental ell
dowments nor the prayers and tears of
relatives and friends were Of any avail to
to turn aside the darts Of death. If these
had ayailCd anything, we would not now
have TO depIorc his untimcly loss. But
"wG mOur not as those who have no
hope" Some years ago he made a pro-
fession of religion, and a few hours be-
fore his death he said he felt that his sins
were forgiven and that he was prepared
to die.
He is not dead, but only sleeping.
"ASlecp in Jesus blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep"
And he will awake on that glorious
day Of the resurrection. when this COR
ruptible shall put on interruption, and
this mortal, Immortality. W. Il. l..

The Franco-Prussian War.

We wish very much our space would
enable us to keep tho readers of the En-
TERrRIsE posted in the European War
news The v%oluminous reports arc all in
tercsting but it requires New York Her
aid to print them.
War was formally declared by France
against Prussia on the 18th instant, and
promptly accepted by the latter power.
The latest dispatches Indicate that Prus-
STA meant to fight from the beginning but
has been endcavoriug to gain time. The
object is supposed to be the recovery of
territory on the upper and lower Rhine.
Both powers have evidently been prcpar-
ing for the struggle for some time. 1t is
the general impression that unless future
complications take place the war will be
"short, sharp and decisive"
In an editorial on the probable effect on
the country, of a general war, the Wing
says that it would be very likely to give
our manufacturers some large contracts for
furnishing war material. We are now
able to manufacture heavy ordnance and
small arms of the most approved pattern
equal to any in the world. There is per-
haps nothing in Europe equal to our bea-
Wy Rodman guns, and the experience Of
war shows that for infantry service, there
is nothing safer or superior to our Spring
field rifle. IN the repeating rifles, we
have guns as good as the needle or chas-
scpot-riAe. We should not be surprised,
therefore, if the war lasts three months or
becomes general, to see our shops running
night and day turning out ordnance and
fire arms to be used by the millions of SOL
diers in arms in Europe,
AS far as breadstuffs are concerned, we
will certainly be the gamer. The demand
and prices will improve Immediately.
War is expensive, as we we'll know.
The debtofF France is already large. The war
will speedily swell it to an immense sum.
A country at peace as we are, with credit
well established, offers inducements to Eu-
ropcan capitalists, far superior to nations
at war with no certainty as to its length
or expenditures. We shall doubtless soon
find our bonds eagerly sought for in Flu
rope, and their consequent appreciation
marked and gratifying.
These are some of the effects the war
will have upon us.

Judge VanDYke,

The following letter, which we find in
the Knoxville Wing of Saturday last, is
characteristic Of its distinguished author.
After becoming satisfied that the views
ola majority Of the Conservative party of
Tennessee were expressed 10y the Nashville
Convention, we expected Judge VmDyke
to pursue exactly the course indicated in
his letter. Although We reluctantly take
his name from the Judicial Ticket, at the
head Of our columns, We agree with him
in believing that the gentleman whose
name is substituted "will honor and dig
nifty the Supreme Bench of the State?
To rmE EDITOR OF The WING:
AruENS, July Is, lS70.-I returned
home from Nashville this morning, aud
have read your paper of yesterday. In
your remarks upon the Judicial Conycn-
ton at Nashville, among other things, you
say "undcr these circumstances, what will
be done, if anything is done, by the few
who may be in that Convention, will that
bind the candidates ! We predict Il loose
state Of things, and bad results. Edwin
IL. Ewing will, no doubt, take the field,
and, in doing 50, he is bound to get a
large vote. All parties agree that he is
an able lawyer aud a true man? What
Judge Van Dyke will do, we are not pre-
pared to say, but there is no doubt he is
the choice of a large vote in all sections
Of the State. We shall await the result"
As you were the first to place my name
at the head of your columns, for one of
the Judges of the Supreme court, 'sub-
jcct to the decision Of a nominating Con-
v]cntion, If one is called" | feel bound to
answer, promptly, that part of the inter
rogotory contained in the above extract,
which relates to myself.
Such Convention as you indicated |
ought to be subject to, was called and
held. 1t was, in fact, as large a Conycn-
ton, and as many counties were represent
cd in it, and as fairly, | presume, as is
usual in any such Convention. An equal
number of intelligent gentlemen, of cor
rect conduct, | presume, has never before
been assembled together in this State, in
any previous Convention; and this Con-
v~Cntion has nominated four out of the six
of your first choice, OmySclf being one of
them it did not nominatc,) and |, and you,
and every person who has had the pleas
IRE Of his acquaintance, will acknowledge
