Of leading bachelors life. One
morning he called and was admitted

This took Smithson little aback,
for he had spent the preceding even

"What's that 7" inquired her

"Of course not" continued Mr..

Then advancing, and taking poor
Smithson's hand, he said: "Take

Thereupon, father, mother and
children crowded around Smithson

HON. BEN. Il. HILL.
encourage

We give in another column the report of
an interview had with Hon. Ben. 81. Hill of
Georgia. We give it solely to show our
readers the drift of the coming conflict be-
tween the progressive and the Bourbon
Democrats of the South. We do not agree
with Mr.. Hill in his views, but we publish
them willingly, as showing the feelings he
and his associates entertain towards such
eminent and popular Democratic leaders
as Toombs, Davis and Stephens. We think
Mr.. Hill underestimate the influence
these latter apostles exert in the South.
We think he will find when he comes to
measure lances with them on the hastings
that they represent the feelings OF a
grosoing class of Southerners.
We do not believe Mr.. Hill seriously
hopes for Democratic victories in Ohio,
Maine or Pennsylvania. We are very con-
fident that in each of these States the Re-
publicans will triumph by decided ma
jorities and the contingency he refers
to when Messrs. Toombs, Stephens and
Davis will be encouraged and strength
ened will certainly happen. We agree
with him that that crisis will be a
grave one for his party. The Bourbons
will claim in the result just what they
predicted, and that result will confirm and
intensity their opposition to all depart
ures." They will claim the test of this first
departure fair one and the verdict of the
Northern Democracy conclusive. On the
other hand, the few who will share Mr. Hills
feelings and have the courage to penetrate
further the very dangerous and unexplOred
field of adventure and experiment, and
with Chief Justic Chase press boldly still
nearer the platform of the Republicans,
will be found leaders without party to
follow, too reckless for the great slow, I'M
progressive masses of Democracy, who
cling tenaciously to the traditions, preju-
dices and doctrines of the reasonable old
organization.
Mr.. Hills views will be of interest in
explaining the feelings of large portion of
the party and in preparing our readers for
the internal struggles sure to befall Deme-
cracy.

TAMMANY's MODE OF DEFENSE.

The only reply the Tammany Ring dare
make to the fearless expose of their gil
gantic plunderings as made by the New
York Times, is to bring IAN action Of
ejctment for the groundupOn which the
splendid structure occupied by the Times
stands. We do not believe there is any
question as to the title The Times has oc-
cupied the property for many years and il
is very strange that the defective title
should be discovered just now while the
sledge-hammer blows of the Times fall
swift and effective upon the corrupt city
authorities.
The dependence of the Ring is, OF
course, upon the corruption that notorl-
ously infests their city courts. But we
hope the Superior Courts of the State are
so free from the control of this Ring as
that the Times will eventually have fail
and full hearing. We know this is all
they want.
In the meantime the motives that has
unquestionably prompted this legislation

A CHALLENGE THEY DARE NOT REFUSE

A well known citizen of high character
and recognized responsibility, over his own
signature, publicly charges a combination
of newspaper men at Nashville, who do
our public printing. with abstracting from
the public treasury fifty thousand dollars,
in the shape of overcharges for public
printing. His charges are specific and in
detail. He gives items and information,
directing their attention to the exact re-
spect in which he alleges they have de-
frauded the taxpayers of the State. He
charges them, for example, with having
charged in one job for over one million one
hundred thousand ems of composition, two
hundred and thirteen tokens and forty
reams of paper, whereas they were only en-
titled 70 charge six hundred and sixteen
thousand ems, seventy tokens andseventeen
and ahalf reams of paper. He charges too
that liz numerous instances, and upon such
an exorbitant basis they have charged and
received payment four times for the sam
work. Here are specific charges, made Sc
riously and publicly by responsible and
well known citizen. They affect the
character of the accused and rightfully in
terest every citizen and taxpayer in the
State And yet how are the accusations
met? They are treated with apparent in
difference Why is it? Do the accused
suppose they can weigh down such grave
charges by their previous character or
treat them as malicious because of previ-
Gus litigation with the accuser? But as
is right in every such case, the public now
comes forward and assumes its rightful in
terest and demands some explanation.
These charges cannot be treated with in
difference! We understand Col. Baxter
to say, that if the accused dare deny or
question any one Of his charges, he is ready
and willing to proUe them true. He has
the facts and documents to sustain his
charges and the accused dare not raise an
issue with him.
The question now raised is, can this
Ring unblushingly stand before the pub
lie and refuse to answer? 1t will not do
to invite legislative investigation, for unfor-
tunately the people know what that means.
1t will not do to reply by answering that
these are radical charges" They are not
our charges. We merely give them pub
licity. But having been once made public,
the people become the accusers, and in
their behalf we intend to prosecute the
case. Will the accused deny the charges,
or shall the public accept them as true?
