party instead of q faction; the trickery and
inconsistency of a fsctious warfare will
probably give place to q defined and an
Ineligible programme. Apart, too, from
the change TO be hoped for in the general
course of the opposition, we cannot doubt
that consciousness of lsssened voting power
will impel the majority to husband their
strength, and to cultivate the moral power
which proceeds from right use of opportu-
mites. To secure unity there must be for
bearance, a general tone of moderation, and
From these considerations the Republican
party may gain much, and can lose nothing.
Its maj jority, ample for all practical purposes,
will not be 80 large that the party can afford
to be Indifferent to causes of internal trouble,
whether proceeding from dissensions or rash
counsel. The Republican party will still,
beyond all doubt, prevail. And we may hope
that the policy itself will vindicate the conf
dence of the country, and make certain Re-
publican success in 1872.
Upon the President the reduction of the
majority will entail greater responsibility
than can exist so long as Congress is abso-
Lutte master of the situation. With the ma
joIity as it is now, the veto power has existed
only in name. A two-thirds majority in Con-
gress rendered criticism futile, and Executive
correction mere matter of form. 1t will
be otherwise in the next Congress. And the
fact will impose upon the President serious
duty in the treatment of all matters that
come before him for approval. The Admin
istration may look for more cordial support
than il received last session, and the action
of Congress will be benefited, because re-
strained by the opinions of President in
general harmony with the party out of doors
and with the people.

THE STATE AND COUNTY
FAHWN.

The time Of holding the State
Fair vas announced to be October
10th, but owing TO the fact that the
time indicated would conflict with
the time Of holding the Tennessee
State Fair, 1t has been changed TO
Oct Oath, and the request is made
Of the Warren County Fair AssOcia-
tiOn that they change the time of
their Fair from October 2jih, as an-
noulced, in order that those desiF-
ing may attend both exhibitions.
We heartily concur with our
friends Of the Clarion in their sug-
gestion, that the two Fairs should
not occur so nearly simultaneously,
and hope, as the directors of the
State Fair have seen proper 10
change their day to accommodate
the time OF the State Fair Of Ten
nessee, tina; they will also show our
County Fair the like courtesy BY
fixing such q time as shall not con-
filct with it.
As the time Of the holding Of our
County Fair had already been de-
termined upon and announced far
and wide, and as not only the ar
raugements Of the Fair had been
made accordingly but those OF the
ladies OF the Episcopal Church,
who hold fairs each evening during
the continuance of the Exhibition
in view ofthese we'll known facts
we conceive that if the State Fair
directors really desire no conflict
of time between the two Fairs that
they will be so courteous as to ac'
commodate themselves to our time
and not insist that we shall violate
our arrangements to suit then.

the date TO which they postponed
their Fair would interfere with u

aHR IS LoYALr'-A letter from
Grpenville, Tennessee, which has
been submitted to the Commits
sioner Of Pensions, states that
Representative r. r. Butler, of
that Congressional Disctrict, com.
menced his pension and county
speeulations in October, 1867; and
among the serious charges against
him is that he procured back pay
end allowances TO the amount of
sA0O, but gave only $40 to the
widow in whose behalf it was OBJ
tanned. Further, that he made a
business of having bills passed by
Congress, the recipients of the
benefit paying him one-half of the
sum: and that he obtained pen
sion for a man who had served as
q Confederate soldier, never hav.
ing been in the Union army. But
Ter and his son keep a store, and
compel those for whom the father
receives pensions to take out the
amount in groceries at a large ad
vance over the usual price.
