MEssRs. EDITORS notice with pleas
ure the name of DR.. J. G. Ellis announced
as candidate for Floater from Knox and
Sewer. While am not voter in that
election. living outof the fiotereal district,
feel deep interest in it, If each of our
Senatorial and Pictorial Districts and
counties would elect such men as DIR.
Ellis to represent them in the Legislative
Halls, it would reflect credit on our
State in every respect. We need to set
aside the wire workers and political trick
sters, who have aspired to the offices of
our State, and give our places Of honor to
men worthy of the honor thus conferred
upon them. DR.. Ellis is the proper man
for representative, in fact, in my humble
Judgment, don't think there is better
man in the State. Therefore ] hope you
will urge the voters to turn out and elect
one who is too truthful to be guilty of q
falsehood, and too honorable to engage in
q mean action. o. G.

THE ISSUE.

We de not mean the general issue be-
tween parties, but the special issue that
seems to be made in the Democratic party,
as developed by recent events. We think
that it is now pretty clearly understood
that there is an Issue between men in the
Democratic party, who were Union men
during the war, and those who espoused
the cause of the Southern States as against
the Federal Government. The fact that
Sewer received only three Democratic
votes for Sneaker of the Senate two of the
votes cast for him having been cast by Re
publicans) goes to establish that there is
such an issue; because there isn't man
men, but will admit Sewers superiority
over Crawl. Vaughn. There is no COM
parison between the men. Vaughn was a
General in the Confederate army, Sewer
was a Union man. Spears was Union
man-served in the Federal army-and
he received ten votes for the Speakership of
the House, more than half of them being
Republican. Reeve, Federal soldier, but
now an editor of Democratic paper, re-
ceived screen votes for Assistant Clerk.
And SO on through the chapter, everything
going to show that Union Democrats are
to be prescribed by their colleagues with
records of different stripe.
But we do not state this in spirit of
complaint. We Republicans have always
commended that such would be the issue,
and now that the truth of our predictions
are being demonstrated, we have no.
complaint to make. Ourfriends, the Union.
Democrats may have reasons for COM
plant. They do have reasons. They have
stood up courageously for the rights of the
predominant element in their party, and
this predominant element is largely in
debted to them for the very favorable poll
teal situation which they occupy to-day.
But while these men certainly have suf-
ticient cause for complaint, we do not
know that there is anything Incompatible
with human nature, more especially DEM
ocratic human nature, in the course of the
majority. 1t is natural that our ex-rebel
friends, when they come into power, should
stand by their comrades in arms, especially
when they have the majority. That they
should do this may show want of graft
tude towards those of their brethren who
came to their rescue when they could not
help themselves, but the experience of our
lives teaches us that gratitude is not al
ways strongly developed trait in human
character.
While it is not questioned that there is
an issue of this kind among our friends Of
the Democracy, we do not propose to even
attempt a settlement of the question for
them. They can settle it among them
selves. But we know they will grant us
the privilege of looking on while they en-
gage in the discussion. We claim that
privilege, especially as the discussion is
held with open doors.

SOME of the Democratic newspapers,
when it was thought that Gen. Butler
might possibly be an independent candi-
date for Governor in Massachusetts, forgot
that they had abused him like pickpock-
ct for ten years, and intimated he was
pretty good fellow after all. Now when
he bows submissiyely to the viii Of the
Republican party, and withdraws from
the canvass, they lose sight of his good
qualities, which they took pleasure in
soundly abusing Naughty Ben. Butler
won't do as they wish, no way it can be
fixed.

WHAT THEY THINK OF IT.

We have looked in vain in East Tonnes
see Democratic papers of responsibility for
an endorsement of the action of the SEN
ate in the election of Gen. Vaughn. The
Greeneville Sentinel speaks of the matter
i'll this style:
I'VE do not know Aessrs. Tharpe and War
ren but on general principles suppose they were
not qualified. e., were not Rebel Generals
during the late war. This seems to be the
standard of merit and qualification adopted by
the major part of the Democratic party of Ten
nessee." n q 4 .t-|-r. + q Er||#HHH
Messrs. Tharpe and Warren will be re
membered as his opponents in the contest,
though, on the final ballot, Mr.. Warren,
from West Tennessee, who, if we mistake
not, was in the Federal army, was his only
opponent. After speaking further of the
reasons that led to Dr. Sewers nomina-
ton, and of his popularity with all classes
and parties, the Sentinel adds further:
But after the first ballot his name was with.
drawn, because his name was not Reject General
SeYier, instead of DR.. Sewer, MON man, and,
therefore unfit for the office, and Rebel Cen
cral, for whom can not be claimed superior
qualifications, received the call, come up high
err
Remember, the Sentinel is Democratic
paper. 1t goes on to say:
We say the election of Gen. Vaughn over
DIR. Sewer is unfortunate, and would prove dis
astrous i'll the next Congressional election in
this District, where Gen. Vaughn officiated
that part Of the Democracy who were Union
men during the war, if they believe that that
part of the Democracy of this District who were
Rebels endorsed this election

TRAGEDY IN BALTIMORE.
sIBsulnr Death Of n Police Ohlcer-SuppOsed
ORse Of Accidental Shooting.

Ease Of Accidental ShOOtioE.
The Baltimore American of Friday says
One OF the most remarkable and mysterious
tragedies that has ever been chronicled In Balti-
more was enacted in the western section OF the
city early yesterday morning, the victim being
Officer Charles j. Walsh, of the Western Police
Force, who met with a sudden death from pls-
tol-shot, supposed to have been the result of an
accident. Under the recent order of the Police
Board, the night force Of the city police, as is
generally known, are divided into two
squads, the first of which are relieved
at 9 o'clock by the men who remain
on duty until 6 in the morning. With the latter
department Mr.. Walsh was connected, and, in
accordance with the usual instructions, entered
the Western station-house about l o'clock, and
a few minutes later proceeded, in company with
the squad to which he was attached, to the cor
ner of Baltimore and Pearl streets, where he
was last seen alive by his brother officers. A
few moments after the latter had taken their
departure the sudden report of pistol shot
was heard and several persons at once has
tened to the spot from whence the
sound proceeded, and were Mortified on
discovering Officer Walsh lying upon
his face, pistol ball having entered his forehead
and passed entirely through the head horizon
tally, penetrating the brain, and causinga pro-
fuse hemorrhage. When taken up his face and
head were covered with blood, pool of which
was on the sidewalk. He was wholly uncon-
scious, and in that condition was removed to
the Western Station House. where his condition
was made as comfortable as possible by Lieu
tenant Moore, the officer in charge, who in
stantly despatched the messengers for physi-
clans. Professor Butler was in the room in a
few minutes after being summoned and at once
applied every known remedy, but expressed his
conviction that the injury was mortal, the
truth of which prediction was painfully Illus
trated by the death of the victim at fifteen
minutes past three o'clock, exactly one aud
threequarter hours after receiving the fatal shot
1t was at first the general impression, created by
the peculiar surroundings of the distressing
affair, that the deceased had voluntarily taken
his life; but this theory seems to have been
before the jury of inquest, summoned before Dr.
Spicer, Coroner, to investigate the circumstances
attending his death.
