If the Ohio Democracy are sincere and
earnest in their departure from the old
landmarks of the party, they have acted
wisely and sensibly. They have held
their Convention, of which Vallandingham
was the genius and leader. nominated
their candidate for Governor and publish
ed their new platform. This platform is
full of long-studied and carefully drafted
ingenuities. 1t sprang from the cunning,
sagacity and teeming mental of
Vallandingham. 1t was a circuitous route
that brought the Ohio cheiftain to this
conclusion. 1t lead through a heated
Congressional career. the terror of arrest
the shame of Punishment to Dixie" the
contempt and sneers of the Richmond gov
eminent, the horrors of Canadian exile.
during which his financial embarrass-
ments were retrieved by the dime contri-
buttons of his friends, and the uncertain
ties of a safe return and residence at home.
Finally Val became disguised at the
thread-worn policy and the impotent
struggles of his party as well as the gener-
al worthlessness and political bankruptcy
of its leaders, and struck out on a line of
policy. certainly e and novel to the
Democratic mind. 1t demands the unre-
served recognition of the Constitution with
its late amendments as the Supreme law
of the land-the civil and political equal
ity of all men, and universal amnesty and
universal suffrage. 1t regards the settle
ment of the war as an irrevocable fnality,
which future Legislation must hold solemn
as the proper destiny of American civili-
cation and advancement. No Republic
can can object to this. 1t is a lattering
comment on his intelligence and patriot
ism-a long-delayed but sweeping en-
dorsement of his political actions. Val
.landingham with his thousands of admir-
ing followers lave knocked at the door of
our church for admission, wept the peni-
tential tear. taken upon themselves the
VOW and now a~nxiously await the priestly
absolution. What a surprising but glo-
rious fellowship!
Look Oh the enormous transgressions of
the confessing penitents and then upon
the grand magnanimity of their immedi-
ate remission. We do not get despair of
the Republic.

ATHENS. Tenn, June 8
Editors Herald and Tribune:
A gentleman by the name of BYsAN
ALLEN, was shot and killed, a short dis
lance from this place, on Friday evening.
No clue to the murderer. This is about
all that is reliably known:
In company with Mr.. Dorsey. a student
in the University, he left town about 8
o'clock. The two rode together, had gone
about a mile in the direction of MIR. Al
lens home, when a shot was fired from
behind them, taking effect upon MIR. A.
The gentleman in company with him
only saw the smoke rise from a clump OF
bushes near the side of the road. He sum
moned aid from a house a few hundred
yards distant, came to town for a physi-
clan, but the man was already in a dying
condition. The ball entered near the
spine, right side, ranging up, passed out
near the left shoulder. He lived but a
short time. There are ever few rumors
afoat, in regard to this sad occurrence. j
understand the deceased was a well-to-do
farmer, living three miles from this place.
Most Notifying of all, he was under the
influence of whisky /; and from what is
known in regard to his private character.
it may be that some one took this BASTARD
ly mode of despatching a hated enemy.
This took place on the public highway,
less than a mile and a half from this place.
Where is the majesty of the law, that this
villain is not hunted down? Slick.

VERSAILLES, June 2.-The discussion
upon the eligibility of the Orleans Prince.
will begin in the Assembly Monday.
Henri Rochefort is to be tried by {
military commission to morrow on the
charge of melting civil wal and pillage.
Search for concealed arms continues in
Paris and is of the strictest character.
The French press still discuss the ques
ton of the future character ofthe Govern
ment. and are nearly unanimous for q
republic.
The Journal Des Debats says men Of
the fourth of September have outlived
their time. Other papers which support
Theirs and the republic, protest against
mon ;rchical i~ntrigues, and demand the
transfer of the Assembly to Paris.
Goulais says Paris must submit to the
will of France.
PARIS, June Pit has been discov-
cred that the real leaders of the Commune
were Karl Morx, Jacobie. Blanqui, Fona-
tiechin and Diedrecks. The idea of bur-
ming Prais originated with Jacobie and
Fonatiechin. Papers have been seized
which show these men are in London, and
are now planning new schemes, desiring to
make Lyons, Marseilles, Madrid, Turin,
Rome, Naples. Vienna, Moscow and Ber-
lin the scene of confagration. Rossel
and Auriel are both concealed in London.
Assassinations continue.

THOSE WHO OPPOSE GIANT.

The sore-headed Republicans politi-
clans and newspapers oppose the r~e-elec-
ton of President Grant, because he has a
So head of his own" and will not distribute
his appointments to subserve their mean
and selfish ends. With a keen sagacity
and a c~ommendable pertinacity of will,
he has placed and kept the public patron
age above their eager grasp. The Rebel
Democracy North and South, oppose his
reelection, because he is employing all
the energies and forces of the government
to enforce the amendments, and is espe-
cially determined that the Ku Klux Law
shall be administered to the full intent
and purpose of its enactment. and the ex-
banding germ of the new rebellion shall
be effectually blasted in its early growth.

Letter from Nashville.

NASHVILLE, June 9th 1S71.-It is Il
some extent those minor etceteras. in
themselves too often over looked in pro.
jecting great enterprises that our energet
ic managers of the late Industrial Exposi
ton availed themselves of. to give vim
and eclat to the undertakingso successfully
carried through.
The Nashville Board of trade, a collec-
ton of our shrewdest and quick witted
merchants, for this deserves much credit.
After placing sufficient capital at conn.,
mand TO rear a c~ommodious building. a
liberal support was extended to the press
for Circulars and advertisements, that was
responded to by the ablest editorials en-
couraging the measure. A most extern
sive band or rather triplicate of bands.
involving all the sweet sounds, employed
during the whole of the exercises. that
continued to discourse delectable music
from early morn till ten at night, as well
as that on fine pianoes within. A large
hydraulic fountain was erected in the CEN
ter of the spacious structure surrounded
by adence forest of tropical plants of the
banana, pine apple &C., and filled with
alligators. fishes and frogs adding no little
attraction to the mere surface sight seeer.
The e%xtempore steam engine with
shaft running across the entire building so
that bands could be attached to run the
models of inventions and the little ma
chimes brought in for displaying, such as
those for sewing, knitting, hemming. en-
bordering, lace making, brass turning,
turning axe-handles and lasts, etc., all
managed by experts in the business of the
various industries drew much attention
particularly from the ladies who were
there every day in force, and the youth
with their sweet hearts made frequent
visits for various reasons to while away an
hour.
The little candy factories in operation
within, distributing their fine specimens
gratis to the eager children. created a
Juror. making them entirely forget the
entrance fee of 25 cents.
Special police arrangements supported
from the town authorities to prevent any
intoxicated men or liquors from coming
near the place were excellent features.
All these apparently were very who'll
some measures that insured success and
enlisted the admiration of thousands of
strangers.
The bylaws therefore were strictly en-
forced with ease making it comparatively
easy for the directors to be on hand and
entertain and treat the visitors round the
many attractions.
Free from puritanic bigotry. yet no
gaming, horse racing o other amuse-
ment was tolerated. Indeed one was not
permitted to sit down, as there was no con
venience for that purpose.

THE ssNEW CAN.
DIDATES.

The Ne,c York Sun, a quasi Republi-
can journal. falls in with the New De-
parture" ideas of Vallandingham, and
dominates Hon. VIM. s. Groesbeck, OF
Ohio, for President and Hon. John Quin-
cy Adams, of Massachusetts, for Vice
President. The Sun is impelled to this
espousal of the latter-day democracy in
vented by the Ohio traitor, by an insane
and malicious enmity towards President
Grant.
During the last two years, this irate
journal has repeatedly assailed the person
al character of the President and vainly
attempted to befoul his administration by
invented allegations of dishonesty and cor
ruption, simply because the President
will not recognize the self-heralded abili-
ties and influence of its editor and allow
him to contol the Republican Party and
dictate the policy of the administration.
What may be said concerning the Suns
hostility to Grant applies with an equal
force of truth to all the other detected
journals and sOre-heoded politicians who
are decrying our honored Cheiftain. They
may continue their fierce maledictions
and horrid impreca.ions. their senselsss
warnings and dismal prophecies, their de-
grading scurrility and their ungentlemanly
and ~ungenerous aspersions, but the loyal
masses of the nation will not be hood
winked by a strategy of transparent mean
ness and ambiti on, to wreak ruin upon
our hero-statesman-leade and satisfy a
devilish spirit of envy and malice.

Greeley on the Platform.

A Taxes correspondent of a Cincinnati
paper says:
Mr.. Greeley's address at the State Fair
was delivered to-day to a c%oncourse num-
bering several thousand. Just before
noon he was escorted 70 a stand richly de-
corated with tri-colored muslins, national
shields, flowers and evergreens. After a
short prayer by the Rev. DIR. kavanaugh,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, MIR.
Greeley was introduced by Mr.. Z. w. Cave,
Chairman of the Reception Committee.
The seats Immediately in fronto the speak
er's stand were filled by ladies. All the
standing room within ear shot was occupied
by men, while the adjacent trees were
black with boys and adventurous young
Texans. Greeley was dressed in a black
luster coat, light marseilles vest, white
linen p~antaloons. and black silk stock. He
wore gold spectacles and was provided
with a figured red bandana handkerchief.
He read his address from a bulky man
uscript, sewed together and written ON
one side of the pages in a bold running
hand-not his own of course.
The address was precisely an hour In
length. The orator read in a good, clear
voice, unimpaired, to the very close. The
infections were pleasant and every syllable
was deliberate and distinct. One or two
slight motions of the arm and forefnger
were hi only gestures. The address was
listened to with great intentness. and the
opinion as to its great ability is unanimous.
Probably no other man in the country
could equal it for terseness, vigor, faultless
precision and force of diction, breadth of
opinion and sterling Common sense. When
the orator referred to the annual cry,
"Raise less cotton" and touched on its
f%utility, he raised a laugh. And when he
advised Texans to buy home goods and
home journals first, but if they needed a
good journal outside he could probably
aid them in finding ore, the throng laugh
ed heartily. The applause was frequent
and sincere. ga mighty good speech,
now, 1 tell you," was the verdict of the
Texas farmers, and the ladies, too, were
very complimentary.
Attic conclusion, many hundreds sought
an introduction, the ladies leading the
column in force. Not a single political
reference was couched in the address Dir.
Greeley left a copy of it at home with his
own paper, and Of course it w~illreach you
in full long before this letter. The Tri-
bune has a soliciting agent following in
the wake of the philosopher. receiving sub
scriptions. Blu. while sitting on the stand,

Obituary.

DIED, on the 3rd of this inst, at his
residence four miles south of Jonesborough,
JACOB MAY, aged ffty-one years ten
months and five days. The deceased was
sorely afflicted for a number of years with
white swelling, which caused his death.
He endured his Affections with great patti
ence and Christian fortitude. His whole
soul and mind for some weeks, previous to
his death, seemed to led out in prayer and
praise to God.
During his few last weeks, be made it
his general theme, when ministers, and
brethren would visit him. to call upon them
to sing and pray with him, while he would
break forth in chanting praises to Jesus.
He also exorted his friends to live for God
and at last meet him in Heaven, where
they would meet those loved ones who had
gone before. He left a wife and six
daughters to MOURN over his departure,
but their loss is his eternal gain. Great
coincidence and sympathy will be manifested
for the bereaved wife and children.
They should be calm. looking at the
same time to the great Providence of God
and seeing at the same time that He has
removed another poor, afflicted mortal
from this to a far better land, and even
while he was in the act of crossing the
Jordan of death he turned his eyes and
with the last lingering look said to his
wife .sMary. m eet me in Heaven and bring
the children"
Oh! happy thought how sweet it was,
Even while that saint was dying,
To think of angels in the skies,
Swiftly with him flying.
