ORGANIZATION.

In our columns to-day will be found
communication on the above subject,
every word of which we indorse. There
has been some considerable discussion and
jarring as to the prOpriety of Organiz-
ing the Democratic and Conservative
party for the fall campaign, IN which we
have taken little or no part, from the fact
that there was pending judicial election,
which, in our opinion, should be disturbed
as little as possible by any political dis
cussion. That judicial election has opened
up the fact that our political Oponents-
the Radical party-are by no means
dead, but only waiting to take any adj
vantage that the Democratic party
may afford them by dissensions in its own
ranks. To-day the Radical party have
thoroughly partizan ticket in the field
for Supreme Judges; and Mr.. BrownlOw
says ''the Republican party is gaining
strength daily and that they will carry
East Tennessee. The Radical party is
thoroughly organized in all parts of the
State. of this, there is no doubt, neither
is there doubt but they have been pre-
pairing for the GubernatOrial campaign for
some months. They have remodeled their
newspaper press; changed tactics on
numerous points; and are now one of
the most generous parties, in aOOrds, to
be found in all the land. They are not
dead; but only waiting to take advantage
of any dissensions that may arise in our
party by brands thrown from their SYM
pathizers.
The Radical party cannot afford an
open and an ayowed organizatiOn-then
the Democratic or Conservative party
would at once be aroused to its danger.
Parties that are in the minority cannot in
dulge in conventions to decide between
aspirants; they can only hope to gain a
victory by stealth, and holding themselves
ready to take advantage of anything that
nav occur to enhance their chances. A
State Convention to nominate q candidate
for Governor is an absolute necessi. y; and
as is also a convention in each Congress
sional District throughout the State, to
nominate candidates for Congress. The
difficulty in political parties largely in the
minority is not who shall we select to run
for any position, but who can'we get to
spend his time and money in a race in

New YORK, Aug. NO facts either of
interest or importance not previously
made public, were elected at the Nathan
murder inquest to-day, which after an ex-
animation of the officers Margane and
COons, and two carpenters employed in the
house the day before the murder, was ad-
journed until Monday. The three sons of
the deceased were present during the pro-
ceedings. Washington, to whom suspicion
has been directed, appeared to be in good

THE MARY SHARP COLLEGE.
the Editors Of the Union and American:

To the Editors of the Union and American:
Among the many institutions of learn
ing, of which the State Of Tennessee may
justly be proud, there is, perhaps, none
that occupies a more enYiable position
than the above named college. The
''Mary Sharp" is located at Winchester,
Franklin county, Tenn, and was first in
corporated as the Tennessee and Alabama
Female Institute, having been founded in
1850, under its president President, 2. G.
Graves.
AS an instructor he has stood for thirty
years in the front rank of his profession,
and few men have made greater sacrifices
for the advancement of education gener-
ally, and woman's especially, than he has,
and none have labored with more untiring
devotion. Through his efforts, mainly,
bringing such uneXampled prosperity to
the institution under his charge, have the
college buildings been erected and all fa-
cilities acquired for the illustration of the
different branches of science, maps,
charts, philosophical and chemical appa-
ratus, geological cabinet, library, etc.
When President Graves came TO Winches-
ter, twenty years ago, the only property
owned by the present institution was what
has long been known as the college
Boarding House" an edifice capable of
pleasantly accommodating some forty
pupils. Not a map, chart, blackboard
or seat was ready for use; two or three
families occupied the building and the
school was advertised to commence a

Arc Our COunIrYVVOmcu EnCrcasing
their AVOirdupOis
The Long Branch correspondent Of the
New York Tribune writes:
The slightness and delicacy of Ameri-
can women is prOverbial; but, judging
from the visitors here, they have under
gone a change. Are our cOuntryWOmen
becoming tleshy! Have they suddenly
increased their avoirdupOis IL they
have not, the cOrpulent sisterhOOd have
certainly descended upon the Branch, and
by their liberal presence have not added
to the grace or beauty of villa or hotel
life. StOutness, especially in the oppO-
site sex, is a misfortune both ar
tistically and socially. Who would
admire the Venus de Medi-
ci, the MadOnnas of Raffaelle, OF the
Magdalens of TizianO, if they were pie
thOric? We all know how difficult it is
for us to become recOnciled TO Rubens'
fat wives whom he always introduced,
whether virgin or goddess, or fine lady,
into his compositions. And we all know
how flesh repels admiration and paralyzes
sympathies in the realities of life. Euro
peans complain that the beautiful Ameri-
can girl loses her beauty after marriage
and maternity by reason of her thinness
and angularity. If it were SO, she would
be better off than the danes of the Old
World, who run to fatness. Hardly any
French or German, italian or Spanish, or
even English women Canescape flesh after
forty. 1t comes upon her like an gsthe-
tic judgment of the malignant gods, and
all the wOOers Tilted in her early days
are deeply avenged. | don't think I've
ever seen so many fat women at a water
ing place as there are at the Branch TINS
season. Their proportion is as i've to
one of the spirituelle; fine-imbed creatures
whose very bodies seemed informed with
thought.
1t is exceedingly amusing TO see the
oyer-plump women indulging their saluta-
torial energies at the Continental and West
End hops: and it requires no little self
discipline to prevent one frem laughing at
the ludiCrOus figure they make. Last
evening could not help notice one of the
unfragile fair who had a passion for dan
cling with small men. The way she grew
crimson in the face, palpitated like a
blacksmith's bellows, and whirled her di-
minutive partners about the room as If
she were trying to brush the flies from The
ceiling with their legs, was curious and
ridiculous spectacle. When she finally
let them go, with a generally dlsheveled
and detected, not to say desperate air, IN
dicating that they had mentally made
their wills and given themselves up for
lost, they made precipitate retreat with
g bewildered look of gratitude and saliva
ton in their perspiriDg faces. The small
man who dances with a very stout woman
is either a simpletOn or q hero; for he ex-
poses himself to satirical shafts that will

CObIentz Being Fortified.
Coblentz is full of Landwehr. There are
but few troops of line there. Their forti-
fications are rapidly being strengthened.
Trees are being felled in readiness for an
attack. All the points about the great
fortress the occupation of which would
render it indefensible against modern ar
tillery, are now strongly fortified, and
earthworks are rapidly being constructed
toward the French side.
At Cologne
Our special correspondent at Cologne
writes on Tuesday that troops are passing
steadily that city, going southwark, all in
excellent condition, each corps with pro-
visions for six weeks. No enthusiasm sur
passes that ofthe South German regiments,
many of whom petitioned to form part of
the advance guards.

victory was decisive. The troops engaged
consisted of regiments of the fifth and

the crown prince in person. The French
force consisted of Daumas' division of Nc

Weissenborg and Geishull in rear of that
town, were carried by storm at the point of
bayonet. After an obstinate resistance the
General who commanded the French in the
absence of Donay was killed, also two Off
GERS of his staff. A French encampment,
one piece of artillery, 500 wounded
prisoners, including many turcors, fell into

On the German side, Gen. Kirchback

BALTTHoRE, Aug. 4-There was rumor
yesterday of an over-issue of the stock of
the the Northwestern Virginia Railroad
Company, commonly known as the Parkers-
burg branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, which was leased and worked by
the latter company. The over-issue is
stated in the morning papers to amount to
$500, 600, and was made by the Secretary
of the company, w. L. Crawford, who re-
signed. The amount of over-issue is sup
position merely, as there were no state
ments made by Crawford, and the Directors
have not concluded their examination.
The overissue has all been hypothecated
in Baltimore at about fifteen dollars on the
share, the par value Of which is fifty Mr..
Crawford, Secretary of the company, was a
confidential clerk of the banking house of
Alexander Bowan & Gems for many years,
and executor of Van Wmkle The Presi-
dent of the company, it is stated, entrusted
TO the Secretary blank certificates of
stock to the erasing of his signature.
