THE ELECTION FOR FLoATER.

On Saturday, the 14th of October, the
people Of Knox and Sewer counties are to
elect their representative in the Legisla-
ture, to fill the vacancy caused by the re-
signation of Gen. Cooper. DIR. John G.
Ellis, of Sewer county, is announced as
the Republican candidate and we must see
that he is elected. We know DIR. Ellis to
be an honest, sober, intelligent man, who
will faithfully represent the people. We
have heard of the usual stories being circu-
lated derogatory to his character, but we
say to our readers that we have good rea-
son to know that they are false. DR.. Ellis
is a good man and we are glad the Repub-
licans of the two counties have so good a
man to support.
He will be elected, of course, if the peo-
pie do not neglect their duty. There will
probably be light vote in the country,
and upon this DR.. Ellis's opponents rely
for his defeat. But we trust that our
friends will see to it that these hopes are
not realized. If the Republicans of Knox
and Sewer counties are not represented by
good man at Nashville they alone will
be to blame. Let US hear good report
from every district in the two coun-

aces of his land and come here and pur-
chase five hundred acres with the money,
and better land than his own. See
the difference! Should not a con-
sheraton of this sort urge men
in Connecticut or in any of the Eastern
States, who have small farms and large
families, to sell out their homesteads at the
big figures they can command and invest
the products in our lands and thus obtain
homes for all their children Would not
such course be wise one?
We are convenient to market, and &C.
ce'Stbte to schools and churches. East Ten
ness is peculiarly fortunate in being con-
tiguous to the best markets in the Union.
On the east are Baltimore, Norfolk,
Richmond, Lynchburg, and even New
York and on the south, Atlanta, Knox
vile, Macon, Augusta and Savannah.
There are no better markets than these.
As to churches, they are everywhere, and
they are of all sorts. They are at peace
among themselves and all at work doing
their duty. The result is, that we have
a moral people. Our scholastic interests
are now looking up. We have, in the city
0fKnoxville and in many of the counties of
East Tennessee, pretty liberal system Of
free schools. In year or two it will be-
come more thorough and effective.

FRAUDS AT NASHVILLE.

The Democratic State Government at
Nashville has its frauds as well as any 9TH
er, though one would suppose from the
virtuous sheets at Nashville everything
there was lovely.
Mr.. Wade, clerk in the Comptroller's
Office, has been charged with defrauding
the State of $4,000. From the Sunday
Union and american we learn the follow
ing:
Mr.. w. E. Wade, clerk in the Comp
troller's office, and who was arrested a
few days ago upon the charge of embezzl-
ing State bonds to the amount of $4,000,
was indicted yesterday by the grand jury
of Davidson county. AS soon as Mr.. Wade
learned the fact, he came forward and de-
livered himself up to the proper authori-
ties before the capias issued, and demand
ed, in fact courted, full, thorough and
immediate investigation by the legal au-
thOrities. The court fixed his bail at s.,
600, which was promptly given. Mr..
Wade asks a suspension of public opinion
until the whole facts can be ELECTED and
the case fully investigated at an early day.
Mr. Wade has secured Gen, James M.
Quarles as counsel in the case.

National Growth Under Republican Rule.

Secretary Boutwell,, in his Cleveland,
o., speech, said of the country at large:
I can not doubt that the last five years
constitute the most prosperous period in
the nations life. Judge it by the extern
sion of manufactures, the construction of
railways, the growth of cities in every part
of the land, the wages of the laborers, the
deposits in savings institutions which rep
resent truthfully the condition of the
laboring classes, the improvements of
farms and farm buildings, the decrease of
pauperism, and, finally, by the prosperity
of the railray system, which tests as by a
thermometer the prosperity of every sec
ton of the country traversed by it. The
wages of labor are nearly as great as they
were during the war, while most articles
of necessity and comfort are barely more
expensive than they were in 1859 and $780,
mention low-priced woolens, cotton
clothes, flour, and grain generally, in sup
port of this statement.
OF one fact there can be no doubt, the
present wages of laborer, and if he be a
skilled laborer, then is he striking ex-
ample of what say, will procure at least
% per cent. more of the comforts and ne
cessaries of life than he could have obtain
ed from his labor in 1859.
l am now dealing with the labor ques-
ton, or seeking to unfold the relations of
employer and employed; only now pre-
sent and array facts known to all, against
the error that the country as a whole is not
prosperous.
Yet forsee even greater prosperity than
is now enjoyed. Cheap communication
between the East and the West will be of
mutual benefit. The Western farmer may
receive more for his crops while the East
ern consumer pays less. the difference in
the cost of transportation being divided
between them. AS q consequence, the
products of the East will be delivered to
the consumer at prices reduced by the di-
minished cost both of production and
transportation.
The growth and standing of the United
States politically and financially will slim
ulate emigration from Europe. The recent
war and the present unsettled condition of
affairs are causes operating in the same
direction. If we preserve the peace, if we
protect the national honor, if we provide
for general education, if we secure to every
citizen his constitutional rights. Europe
must either accept republican institutions
or the best part of Europe will come to
America.

REMARKS There are large number of
Conservative Union men in East Tennessee who
have acted with the Democratic party, believing
it to be conservative and kindly disposed to those
who co-operated with them. We hope all such
will not fail to observe that, in the organization
of the Legislature, their representative candi-
date, DR.. W. R. Sewer, of Jonesboro', was
showed aside for that more worthy representa-
tive of Tennessee Democracy, Gen. John c.
Vaughn, of Monroe county. There is no COM
parison between the two men as to their fitness
for the place, but Gen. Vaughn wore a rebel
uniform during the war, while DIR. Sewer SYM
phathized with the Government, and the form
er was, therefore, the favorite. Any one who
knows the two men will be able to say much for
the sense and judgment of Senate that would
prefer Vaughn to Sewer. If Demo tracy in Ten
nessee isn't radical, we would like to know
