A FAILURE.

Brick Pomeroy's Democrat, which was
established in New York, has proved a
failure. The financial success predicted
for it under the management of the enter
prising Brick" has not been realized
The reason is obvious. The public taste
is improving, and it takes a higher type Of
journalism to meet the demands of intelli-
gent readers in this day and age, than
Brick Pomeroy is capable of furnishing.
There can be no palmer proof of this than
the fact that the Democracy of New York
city can no longer tolerate the low black
guardism which has always been the lead
ing feature in Brick Pomeroy's publica-
tions. The class of men who glory in that
kind of warfare, and who pretend to pat
ronize newspapers On account of it, are
happily, in the minority, and besides that,
seldom pay for what they read. The infu-
ence of such "a paper is of SO dangerous a
character, that few men of responsibility
would be willing to risk it in their fami-
lies if they could get it for nothing. 1t is
gone and may we never see its like again.

DISQUALIFIED.

Mr.. Colladay, the Democratic Con-
gresham elect from the Nashville Dis
trict, is, without doubt, disqualified under
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States. The Nash
Vile Banner opposed his election on that
ground, and advocated that of Hon. Ba-
lie Peyton, who run as an independent
candidate. As the law of Congress to
enforce the Fourteenth Amendment pro-
vides that the person receiving the next
highest number of votes shall be entitled
to the Office made vacant by such disquali-
f~ication, Mr.. Prosser. the Republican can
didate who received the next highest mum
Der will undoubtedly take the seat. This
will give us three Republican Represen-
tatives from this State, in place of two as
claimed by the Democracy; and if the
statement of the Chronicle, that Mr..
Garrett, elected from the Chattanooga
District in place of Mr.. Stokes, be true,
that he, Garrett, would not make a first
class IDIOT" it is a question whether Con-
gress might not be justified in refusing to
admit him to a seat, on the ground of men
tai incapacity. 1t is bad enough to have
that District represented by a Democrat,
at best. but to allow a fool Democrat F"
to represent it. would be intolerable-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-John Ii.
Bib has been appointed post master at
the University of Virginia.
Troops have been ordered to Tallahas-
see, Fla, to insure order on Tuesday next,
when the vote of the State is announced.
The following is an extract from Gen.
Sherman's report: "On examination of
the reports herewith enclosed, | invite
your attention to the recommendation of
Gen. Halleck, which refers to the use of
troops in assisting the civil authorities in
maintaining peace, collecting revenu es,
&C., which has become so common of late.
The duties of the soldiers in this
ton are not prescribed so clearly by stat
ute that the officers can understand their
rights and duties, and the civil agents and
authorities often expect more than can
be rightly or lawfully done. [ think the
soldiers ought not to be expected to make
individual arrests or to do any acts of Vi
olence. except in their organized capacity
as a posse cOmnautatus duly summoned by
the United States Marshal and acting in
his personal presence; yet if it is deemed
lawful and proper that the soldiers should
DO more than this, l concur with Gen.
Halleck that Congress should SO enact in
distinct terms"
An order was issued by the Wal De-
partment on Tuesday, retir ing some sew
entv officers, most of them on their own
application, having served thirty years, or

NOT SATISFIED.

We learn that Mr.. James White, de-
signs contcsting Hon. r. r. Buffers seat
in Congress on the ground that gross
frauds were committed in the election,
which caused his, Mr.. Whites defeat. We
have no idea that Mr.. White will do any
such thing. Mr.. Buffers majority is too
decided to admit of any hope for MIR.
White on that ground eve if he could
prove frauds to have been committed
which we seriously doubt. The people
have pronounced their verdict on MIR.
Whites claims, and it is against him. He
has everything to lose, and nothing to
gain by attempting to override it. a
graceful submission to the VIII of the peo-
pie is always the wisest course for a poll
tician. and in all kindness we advise MIR.
White to save his money and devote his
time to something more profitable than
prosecuting a contest in which he has not
the ghost of a chance of succeeding. MIR.
White has made a plucky fight against
fearful odds, and deserves the gratitude of
hisi party for what he has done. We are
willing to admit in the language of Prince
Hal. to the fallen Percy,

A Sad Bushes 8.

The Grecneville National Union of this
week brings in the sad intelligence of the
death of a little son of a Mrs. Nancy Burch-
field, of thatplace. He was killed on the
farm of DIR. b. ID. Horads. The Doctor
was having his wheat crop threshed out,
one of his hands was taking the straw a
way from the machine with a very sharp
pointed fork, and passing it up to some
boys who we're packing it away in the barn.
1t is supposed the little boy Willie was
stopping to gather up an arm full OF straw
while the man with the fork was in the act
of putting up a fork full, one prong OF the
fork entered the right eye passing into the
brain, instantly p%aralyzlng the little fell
lows right side. he never spoke, lingering
several hours in terrible agony, dying
about 10 o'clock P. NJ. There was no ex-
ternal wound, the eye ball was not injured,
and only one drop of blood, one tear of
blood trickled down his cheek. This sad
death is the more distressing as Willie was
lust arriving at an age and strength to
help his widowed mother.
