NEW ADVERTTSEMENTS.
A Card.

A Card.
Ihave been creditably informed that some
one has started the report that I originated
the idea Of having q county convention to
nominate county officers, and that did it for
my own benefit. have n ever expressed my
self in favor of a convention and. indeed. have
never considered one necessary as far as the
people will allow Us to run the race through.
These reports were started to injure me by
men, whom assume this method ofdenounc-
ing as base and unworthy the countensnce
and notice of any gentleman. The same par
ties, or some OF the same ilk, have given pub
licity to various and sundry falsehoods ae re-
gsrding facts connected with my official
duties, which shall take occasion to mention
at our appointments in every part OF the
duty without Expressing anyone further than
the law absolutely required me to do, and do
not believe the time has yet come when the
people Of this county will willingly prosecute
an officer for doing his duty. It Is only law
breaking, skulking towards who carp at the
rigidity of the law, and 1t is only this sort of
a man that will consent to become instru-
duty. 1 am more than willing. that the
public shall know Of every official duty over
performed; and only ask that it be truthfully
and correctly stated. If cannot prove my
self innocent of any charge against me of I'M
oficerlike conduct, or anything that Is even
ungentlemanly,I do not ask the support Of any
one; and / trust that no one will oppose me at
the ballot box on the grounds of these charges,
without giving ne z personal opportunity to
the men who are the originators Of these re.
ports, are those who are opposed to law and
order. SIMS LATTA,

WILLIAMSON County is entitled to
the Floater, but few gentlemen OF
Franklin and the Journal prefer to
have the Senator. The Journal init
mates that the only way to prevent
bad feeling between Williamson and
Maury is for the latter to give up all
claim to that to which she is justly
entitled. Our neighbor need not be
told that that is a poor way to secure
good feeling between the two coun-
ties. Maury is entitled to the Sena-
tor, and if any of her delegates dc
not claim her right, they will mis-
represent her and fail to do theii
duty.

The National Democratic Execu.
tive Committee have called a Con.
vention on the 9th of July, at Balti.
moro. This may or may not be an
unwise step-although we are in
clined to believe it is--but we are
certain that the masses of the party
in the South demand that the Con-
vention shall make no nomination.
Those who are in favor of doing so,
are enemies of the people, of the
party, and of the welfare of the coun.
try. We are glad to learn that Gen.
BATE, who represents Tennessee on
the Committee, is opposed to putting
a Democratic candidate in the field.

tits only now and then, and by in
direct ways, that we get vivid
light thrown upon the CHASTITY wounds
cut into the body of the suffering
Sonth by the two-edged sword Of
war-losses and carpet bag iniQuities.
Sums total do not weigh much, be-
cause the people do not take them in,
but are merely stunned by their pre-
sentation. So we have faint real
izing sense of what is meant by the
fact that State debts, which were on
ly SIG, 45,S90 in 1860, have been in
creased TO 1921, 626, OILS in 1872; or
that Georgia, which in 1860 was as
sessed at q valuation of $618, 232, 1891,
in 1870 was assessed at only $202,-
653, 557. But we can sec something
of the terrible state to which this un.
| happy people is reduced, when we
come across instances, now and then,
which appeal to our individual e1.
periences, and touch our individual
sympathies. Here, for instance,
letter lies before US, In which gen.
tleman in o Southern State tells us
quietly that in 1860 he was worth, in
real and personal property, between
100000 and $125, 600, upon which he
paid an annual taxation of $l25.
Now, his negroes, stock, and fencing
gone, and his land reduced by the dis
orders Of labor and the times to q
mere fraction Of its value twelve
years ago, he has to pay taxes to tho
amount Of $600l Can simple fact
speak more eloquently than that
His estate is reduced IN less than
one-fourth its former value, and his
taxes nearly quintupled in their
gross sum, while, relatively to his
estate, they are twenty times as great
as they were. This gentleman is not
a Kuklux; but put the case that a
fraudulent Government were to null
tiply by twenty the taxes Of Stewart,
Astor, Vanderbilt and other proper
ty-holders North, would not they
seek remedies outside the law? The
amiable Dix, the magDaDimous Sick
les, and the stock and bondho!ders OF
Erie have just concluded a success

much less matter than the average

It is needless here to trace the po-
litical history Of reconstruction, nor
apportion the blame for its mistake.
It Is enough to say that, in point of
fact, the State Governments Of the
South have very largely fallen into
the hands Of ignorant and knavish
men. Public money has been spent
and wasted by wholesale. A brave
and high-spirited population have
seen their places of trust and honor
filed by foreign adventures and
uneducated freedmen. The old pc.
litical leaders in whom tho people
had confidence, and who alone had
experience in the conduct Of affairs
have been excluded from Office by
Congress. The course Of politics ha,
tended to deepen tho antagonism be-
tween the former master and tbs
blacks, and to still further alienatt
the former from the national author
ity. This is. o gloomy picture. One
feature remains to be added. Into
this weakened and distracted com
munity there has been no infusion Of
new healthy blood. It was hoped
that immigration would ren0vate thu
South. But there has been no i'm
migration, or but little. The ole
elements are left to work out theil
way unassisted. OF the present du'
ty ofthe nation at large towards tn,
South we shall here say but q word
The best service that can be rendered
to the Southern people politically j.
to let them alone. Disabilities should
be swept away at blow. Their
should be no more federal interior
ence with local affairs. Politica
salvation for the South can only
come through her own people.
