A SENSATION.


They have another sensation in New
York which they are trying to keep out
Of the papers. A correspondent Of a
Philadelphia journal says of it, 1.-THE
greatest sensation in the journalistic
line is the suit that will be brought
against prominent editor-best known
for his sensatons-by his divorced wife
to set aside decree of divorce on the
ground that it was procured by fraud,
and through the intimidation OF the de-
PENDANT This man was in love with
another woman, and, to get rid Of his
wife, used the cruelest and most deyilish
means to drive her into the streets. he
had his detectives, who swore 10 her inf
deity, after which they threatened her
with the severest punishment il she
would answer the bill fled by her hus-
band. OF course the bill went by de-
fault and the editor married his present
wife a few weeks after. Now the first
wife has been advised that she can have
the decree Of divorce set aside, and she
has taken the first steps toward that de-
cision." Does the finger Of inquiry
point to the venerable Greeley7 Too

RpnTHFR MAN.

Let him who thinks that the world is
all deprayed, all corrupt take heart.
There is sympathy in the old heart yet.
II was noble in the cities of the West to
send their fire engines to Chicago, and
Memphis would have set the example II
distance bad not made it useless. Let
MS 90 slow over the sins of brother man
He has his good points, though they be
concealed under cloud of ayarice, or
what not. Calamity brings out the ma
ture of men. There is a good fellow
here and there with heart full of soul,
and by his conduct shames the mean,
and makes him think himself thousand
times meaner. The meanest of all men
are those who possess neither the dispo-
sition nor the courage to do right. We're
Chicago a thousand times as wicked as
II is, il would be no less the duty OF its
neighbors to fly to its relief. To the
philanthropist it is only necessary to
establish one fact: There is calamity !
There is sufferingl Old England's sym
pathies are touched and she will pour
out of her Golfers half million pounds
for the relief of the ruined city. Canada
is coming forward generously. The banks
on the continent of Europe are sending
money. At home, every city and town
is stirred with commiseration for the un'
fortunate, and is sending relief. All
this is very noble aud makes one think
better of human nature

TENNESSEE.

Tennessee may now be said to be re-
constructed. The people have the bal
lot, a Governor and Legislature Of their
choice, and have reduced the State debt
about one-half Their Convention that
framed the new Constitution sat under
the CLEAN of threatening bayonets. II
their work was done imperfeetly, the i'm
projections can be undone. If our noble
State shall be permitted to conduct her
own affairs unmolested by the Washing
ton government, its future prosperity is
not to be questioned. If the great North
and West can prosper under Radical
rule, there is no reason why our State
should despair If the people who dwell
on the other side of the Ohio, and who
possess the power to right the pub
lie wrongs, elect not to do so,
why then the people of the South
can do nothing but make up their minds
to make the most of the situation. That
is the part of wisdom. They can en-
dure as well as their Northern neighbors
the exactions of centralized power. The
recent elections give no hope of speedy
return to the good old ways of the Re-
public. All the great statesmen are
dead, and the affairs of forty millions OF
people are in the hands Of bad and igno-
rant men. Ohio and Pennsylvania say
they shall remain there. That, for the
present, settles the question, and defers
the reformation to an indefinite future.
Meantime, let the people rebuild their
fortunes and cover the State from Shelby
to Carter with improvements.

RADICAL PTNINnIERIHa.

General Thomas Ewing, in recent
speech in Cincinnati, stated that since
1865 the Federal Government has re-
duced the volume Of currency from $40
pro rata to each individual in the coun-
try to ST. This immense reduction has
vastly added to the liabilities Of all per-
sons who were in debt. II has shrunk
the value Of property from one-third to
one-half 1t has severely injured the
fortunes Of a large majority of the peo-
pie Of the country Ii has brought hard
times upon US. Money was not too
plenty at the close Of the war Nobody
asked for a contraction and diminution
Of the currency but the bondholders, who
desired to make their bonds as good as
gold. The Administration with a shame
ful subservienee to the moneyed interest,
produced, perhaps, by the appliances Of
corruption, has struck deadly blow at
the prosperity of the people. While
cor traction has held business in vice,
the taxes Of the nation have been doubled
and tfebled. As the ability to pay was
vastly Iessened the demand for payment
vas increased in a. same proportion.

The Cincinnati Gazette (Badical) says
that one of the strongest measures to

MOSCOW AND CHICAGO.

The conAagration of Chicago reminds
the Cincinnati Enquirero Of the historical
annals which tell of the burning Of
Moscow by the Russians, September ~,
1872. Moscow had then about the popu-
lation of Chicago, svia. sOO,Ooo. lake
Chicago, it was built Of wood Likeit,
too, in the present Instance, there was a
strong gale blowing that spread the fire
at great distance from the place where
it originated Like it, too, there were
immense explosions of powder resorted
to for the purpose Of interposing the OBJ,
stacle of distance to its rayages. But in
one respect there was great difference.
There was hardly soul in Moscow Of the
population who were so disastrously at
footed by the fire. They had all been
removed by the Russian authorities pre-.
yious to that event. A stern spirit OF
patriotism had dictated the removal.
The city was fired BY Russian incendia-
ries, detailed for that purpose. But in
Chicago there was added to the horror
of the immense conaagration whieh'con-
suned Moscow the lamentation Of 1907
900 people suddenly deprived of their
all, and precipitated into the streets,
young and old, the sick and the well,
the helpless and the able, The awful
sublimity of the late Chicago coniagra-
ton may be well appreciated therefore,
when we state that, Napoleon, when .
prisoner on the island Of st. Helena, in
detailing an account of the burning Of
Moscow, declared, with emphasis, that it
was the most terrible sight that mortal
eye ever beheld, In this connection he
said; at was the spectacle ofa sea
and pillows of FIRE, sky and cloud Of

like immense waves Of the sea. alter

NEW YoRK, October l3.--0onsiderable

make arrangements for the race for the
Queens Cup, and during the past few
days they had arrived at no satisfac-

Commodore Ashbury reconsidered the
proposal of the committee to sail six
races-three over the Regatta Course
and three from the Sandy Hook light
ship, twenty miles to windward and re-
turn, with the proviso Of a seventh race
over the latter course in case they both
won three out of six. AS the club did
not show the slightest inclination TO sail
twelve races, Commodore Ashbury has
concluded to accept the same as pro-
posed, and wrote to the committee last
night to that effect. The first race will
be sailed over the regular club course
on Monday, and the second one on the
Sandy Hook course, and so on alter
uately. The club will select their repre-
sentative yacht from the Columbia,

morning of the race. et 2
