The counties of Hickman, Fulton and
Graves, are each alive with candidates.
for the Lower House, but we seeRo
mention of aspirants to represent these
counties IN Senate. The short term
of Senator Tyler, in the main, we think,
issapproxed by the pesple.-and it.nay
be that the longs term BiItsbe' conceded
to him. without opposition, ifhe asks
reelection. We have heard the names
Of two able aud popular citizens Of
Graves, Major Hale and Hon. Erwin
Anderson, each, suggested as probable
candidates for this position, but as yet
no authoritative aauouncement has ap-'
peared Our Information is that large
part of the people. Of Graves are solicit
tous that Major Hale will consent to rep
resent that county in the Lower House
the next session, and that he will defer
to their wishes, and not be an aspirant
for the Senate. The Hon. Erwin An
derson is an able, just, aud popular man,
and If he decides to enter the canvass
will be hard to beat Mr. Anderson and
Senator Tyler separated on the .Cinein
natl Southern Railroad bilb (otherwise
they are fast personal aud political
friends and somehow the public has re
ceived intimalons that the contest foi
the Senate is to be between them Both
| gentlemen being able, and every way
worthy and well qualified, the race tc
say the least would be lively" We
are not authorized to say that Senator
Tyler viii be a candidate for election
or that Mr. Anderson will be candidate
but only refer to it as now accepted By

Low CUNNING.-The Lapor,e -4ryus
of the 18th inst, contains an article under
the head of rafting in which the editor
of that paper, in a very low and cunning
manner says 1--WE would like to know
how many Sheriff Sales democratic pa
per would get to publish in case the re-
publican party was in the ascendency in
that county," Before asking that ques-
ton he ought to have known whether we
were in quarrel about Sheriff Sales. Why
has our cotempOary here, who has been
watching every corner. not taken us to
task on this subject? Why does the ed
itor of the Argus, who knows nothing
of our private business, and who has not
heard word from his colleagues here,
voluntarily and significantly ask US such
question? can it be that the editor of
the 4A1gus is hired to do the dirty work
that our neighbor is ashamed to do? Or
has he been rafting" to get legal notices
that properly belong to the Herald and
like the cowardly assassin who commits
murder and accuses another, makes this
low drive at US to cover up his own guilt
He certainly ought to know, for in the
very same paper in which we found the
article referred to, published in the repub
lican county of Laporte, where they have
republican sheriff, we find no less thai
four sheriff sale notices. Did the Ayu
get those by rafting it?
