GEN. w. A. QUARLEs.

To-day, we place at the head OF our
columns, the name of Gen. William
A. Quarles, as O candidate for Gov
ernor. In thus expressing our pref
erence, we neither intend to defy
Convention nor to insinuate aught
against the distinguished gentlemen
whose names are used in connection
with the Gubernatorial chair. There
is not one of the three, now promi-
nent for the candidacy, whom the
people of Tennessee will not be proud
to honor. They are the peers of each
other and of the best In the State,
and the only source of regret is, that
claims which the people are so ready
to acknowledge and honor, should be
presented in a collective, rather than
individual form. But one can be
elected at time, and it is due from
the aspirants to the people, that they
submit their claims to u Convention,
and thus harmonize the party and
relieve the voters from the embar-
rassment of choosing between men
equally honored for their private
worth and public services. A Con-
vention is not needed to determine
the respective merits of the aspirants,
but merely to determine the order of
time in which each shall be rewarded
by the people without endangering
the unity and strength of the party.
Whilst we shall claim for General
Quarles whatever merit or qualifica-
ton may justly be claimed for others,
II is our purpose to indulge In no of
fensive personalities--to do nothing,
in short, that may endanger, or fos.
ter prejudice, and disturb the har-
mony so essential to the continued
supremacy of the party which has
in its keeping the honor, liberty and
prosperity Of the State. Where all
the candidates are gentlemen, and
their respective supporters claim to
I've of the same class, there is not a
shadow Of q pretext for discourtecy,
much less for bitterness of language
or feeling. This is the spirit in which
we espouse the cause of Gen. Quarles,
and he will be the first to censure,
should we depart from IT,

II. y. FERGUSON, ESQ.

We publish, in another place, the
response of Mr.. Robert Ferguson to
the calls made upon him to become a
candidate for seat in the lower
Branch of the next Legislature, and
congratulate the people of Montgom-
cry upon having secured the services
of one 50 eminently fitted for the po'
sition lie has consented to I'LL. We
use the word secured because we
take IL for granted that no one will
oppose him. His popularity is not
the fungus growth OF an hour-the
offspring of some spasmodic excite
ment that lives only long enough TO
mark the folly of its origin and the
vYll of it, duration, but is the 80.

mr.. Ferguson Accepts.

EDITORS CLARKsvIJLE CHRoNI-
Gle: In reply to calls made upon
me In the city papers, and to numer-
Gus personal solicitations, to become
q candidate to represent our county
in the House of Representatives of
the next General Assembly Of the
State of Tennessee, / answer, that,
although l have uniformly declined
applications of this character hereto-
fore, 1t has been so urgently repre-
sented to me, that the use of my
name, in that connection, would be
promotive of harmony and concord
in our political circles; and acting as
a compromise of many personal pref
erences for Others, would result in a
general assent to my candidacy, that
l feel constrained, for these reasons,
to accede to the request of my friends.
1, therefore, authorize you to an
nounce me as a candidate for the po-
sition named above.
Should it, however, become appar
ent, hereafter, that the harmonizing
effect expected from this announce
ment has no existence, or exists only
in the minds of any too partial friends
that other preferences, in this re-
gard, for many worthy gentlemen
cannot thus be reconciled, nor con-
cord thus assured, shall stand ready
TO withdraw my name, If harmony
can thereby be obtained, for would
be unwilling to engage in o political
scramble for any position. And this
possible withdrawal would not he
caused by insensibility to the good
opinion of my friends, nor the inter-
ests they seek to repose in me; for in
my opinion, any man should esteem
it an honor to represent the county
of Montgomery anywhere. I hold
her second to none, as she has had
opportunity, in her services and sac
rifices to the country-second to none
in the ability, patriotism, fortitude
and gallantry of her sons, who have
ever led her along the road of STAIN
less honor. Some of their names
occur at once to every mind, coupled
with regret that political disabilities,
and sacred family obligations should
have deprived the country of theii
services in her hour of need-names
that the State will not willingly
let die" Respectfully,
RoBT. f. FERGUSON.
August 5th, 1870.

England COngratulatesI tse1fOn TAX.
ing POsitiOn-Belgium Must be
Neutral.
A cable dispatch, from London, at
40 A. NJ. says, Gladstone's announce
ment in the House that the English
government had at last made spe-
cific proposition for Belgium protec-
ton is welcomed with a sigh of relief
and a feeling that England has once
more vindicated her position as q Eu-
ropean power.
Mr.. Disraeli only expressed the gen.
eral feeling of the House when say
ing that he rejoiced that the govern
ment Is resolved to maintain the neu-
trality and independence of Belgium
and that he accepted the declaration
us an avOwal of wise and spirited pol
icy-not less wise because spirited.
Few ministerial Statements, the
Daily News says, have been received
with more general satisfaction.
To their many claims to confidence of
the Crown and to the support of the
people, the government has now ad-
ded another which, If 1t does not
transcribed, at least equals, any to
which it was before entitled, to urge
sagacity. The moderation and ut the
same time boldness of its foreign pol
icy presents striking contrast to the
isolation which has been suggested
on one hand, and the insolent and
purposcless meddling which has been
practiced on the other.

Change in the Bankrupt Law.

BY the act of Congress passed July
IA, 1870, the bankrupt law was so
amended that discharge can now
be granted on all Indebtedness created
prior to January l, 1869, without the
fifty per centum on the dollar. On
all debts created since January /, $50,
fifty cents must be paid in order to
receive a discharge. The effect is
that on all debts contracted before
the LIST of January, 1869, discharge
can be obtained upon the payment
simply of the court costs, as under
the original law.

WE are pleased to learn from the
Brandon MISSY Republican that
none of the leading spirits Of the old
Wing party, give countenance to the
October Wing Convention, which is
evidently trick Of Alcorn's to white
wash his treason to Mississippi and
the South. In his self-exile from as
ISOLATION with the patriots and states
men and gentlemen Of the State he
has disgraced, the memory of what
he once was, gives rise to an earnest
longing to be recognized as fit COM
panion still for those noble and high
toned Mississippians whom he has
betrayed and wronged. He sees and
trembles at the future he has fashion
ed for himself and, like any other
criminal, would give the world to re-
verse his past career and resume the
position from which he has fallen,
never to rise again. Weak, ambitious
fool; he vainly thought that treason,
gilded by its own wages, would con-
stitute happiness, and that the EN-
blems of short-lived power would coll
fer honor and dignity upon one des-
titute of every leading characteristic
Of an honest man.

FRANK ANDERsoN.-We have had
some curiosity to approximate the
vote of the county, in the recent cleo
ton, with a view to arrive at its nu.
merical strength. But the nearest
approach to it is the vote for Frank
Anderson, which was 2,77s, and this
we think, falls several hundred short
