ANOTHER NEW PROPOSITION.
The st. Louis Republican" Offers a Sug'
gestiOn to the Democratic Party.

ST. LOUIS, October 13-The Republican
to-day has an editorial of much signiti-
oance. 1t suggests that no Democratic
candidate be nominated for 1879. Ii says
that there is no national precedent for
such a course, but the experiment is not
an untried one, and cites the campaign
in Missouri last fall. 1t then asks: "Why
should not an experiment that proved so
successful in breaking the power OF Radi-
caiism in Missouri, be employed to break
the power of Radicalism in the Union?
Why should not the whole country find
deliverance from party that is essen
TALLY proscriptive, oppressive, unconstt-
tutional and violent in Its policy, and
practice, in the same effective way in
which single State found such deliver
ance2 The result of the Missouri election
of 1870 was not indeed Democratic VIC
tory, but it was certainly a Radical de-
feat, and the abolition of disfranchise-
ment, the substance of animOsities, the
result of candid and good will among the
people, and the revival of cheerful inter-
est in public affairs and in local enterpri-
ses which followed that defeat, are conse-
quences which vindicate the wisdom Of
the experiment in Missouri, and at least
suggests its repetition in larger field" I"
IL thinks the adoption of this policy
would divide the Republican party, that
the liberal element in that party would
nominate q candidate In opposition to
Grant, whom tho Democrats could sup
port, and the result would be a majority
Of the Democrats and Liberals In Con-
gress, which, while differing materially
from Democratic victory, would DO an
inestimable Improvement on the present
order of things.

From q Special Correspondent.
HRRNANDO, Miss, October 13.-You are
aware that Governor AlcOrn and General
Robert LoWsry have met at several places
recently in joint discussion. Expecting to
hear these distinguished speakers, vast
number of our fellow citizens assembled
here on yesterday, but General Lowery
being sick did not come. Being disap-
pointed in his not coming, our next hope
was that Colonel II. w. Walter, who had
met the governor the day before at Sena-
tobia, would come on the one O'Clock
train from Grenada, but In this too We
were disappointed.
"Well, L0Wery is not here; Walter has
not come; what will we do7" The gov.
ernor, the leader and champion of the
Radical party, must be mot. "Who will
do it?" The response was "Chalmers,' %
and this was readily agreed to.
So the Major, without 80 much as thirty
minutes warning, was called upon to
meet the practical debater, the willy old
fox-the Governor. The Governor led of
in a speech of one hour and q half, adj
dressing himself ostensibly TO the white
portion OF the audience, but in reality TO
the preiudices of the negroes. He urged
them to cling together in the support
of the Radical ticket which has been re-
Gently made out IN this county, and warn

KNoxvILLR, October II, IS7I,-On ac-
count Of the incessant falling OF rain yes
Lerday, all business was suspended at tho
fair, and the programme published for
yesterday will be used to-day. This
morning is extremely pleasant. Large
companies are vending their way towards
the fair grounds. OmnIbuses and car
riages are in demand. Tomorrow will
be the grand tournament, and in the
evening tho knights Will give splendid
ball at the Bell house.
Rumors were afiost here yesterday that
the Pennsylvania Central railroad had
gotten possession Of the larger portion oi
stock in the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, and although one of our
papers discredits it this morning, it is
strongly believed among men who are
supposed to have knowledge of their
affairs.
1t was supposed that the Alabama and
Chattanooga railroad case would be taken
up this morning, but owing to the absence
OF Judge Trigg IL was not. He Is expected
on the noon train, and this afternoon viii
be occupied in the discussion OF thii
mach-agitated question. There were
several noted arrivals yesterday and laai
night, in anticipation Of this matter. j
c. stanton, Judge Story, Of Montgomery
and Judge Rice are in town. We under
stand, also, that Georgia will be repre-
sented by Underwood.
