True Hospitality.

That eccentric but brilliant wri-
ter, Ralph Waldo Emerson, has the
following admirable remarks on this
topic:
81 pray you, oh! excellent wife,
cumber not yourself and me to get
a curiously rich dinner for this man
and woman that hath alighted at
our gate; or bed chamber made
ready at too great a cost: these
things, if they are curious in them,
they can get for a few shillings in
any village; but rather let this
stranger see, if he will, in your
looks, accents, and behavior, your
heart and earnestness, your thought
and will, which he cannot buy at
any price in any city, which he may
well travel twenty miles, and dine
sparely and sleep hardly, to behold.
Let not the emphasis of hospitality
be in bed and board; but let truth
and love, and honor, and courtesy,
flow in all thy deeds"

The Bristol Neaos Intensely Democrat
ie) does not seem particularly enthusiastic
over the nomination Of Rev. w. 3. Carter
for Congress in the First District. Its dis
appointment grows out of the fact, perhaps,
that Sullivan county man was not NOM
mated. 1t says:
AS we supposed, and as was inevitable, Sulli-
van county had her fun, in triangular inferno
cine fight while Carter county walked off with
the haunch of venison. The world used to be
that way and the world changes but little. For
the first ballot, there were put in nomination by
The Sullivan delegation, Col. Mcclellan, Capt.
Haynes, c. r. Vance. Esq. Pretty soon the
two latter and Folsom and Kyle, were borne in
litters from the field, and the tug came between
Mcclellan and Carter. Mcclellan was close on
to his antagonist and his nomination seemed to
be one of those probabilities which everybody
begins to get ready for. Then the delegates
went to supper, and where else we are not in
formed, but when they returned Mr.. Holtsinger,
another preacher, was nominated and Col. Nc
Clellan withdrawn, and then Carter quickly
piled Holtsinger and stood alone erect on the
field, the nominee for Congress from the First
Tennessee District

because they love him. He will be an
other dose of crow" which they will
eat, but will not banker after" In such
an event, Gen. Frank Cheatham, with all
his popularity and military record, will be
the victim of circumstances which neither
he nor his friends can control. On this
point the Avalanche adds:
The friends of Cheatham will have their
hands full to defeat the Bull of Bashsn, who is
fairly ought of the fight, well fed and in good
keeping. It would be the most remarkable of
political anomalies for the Democratic party of
Tennessee to take johnson back to their bosom.
but the reasons which act upon and influence
party conventions in 1872 are what "no felah
can find out" johnson wants amnesty from
the people, and the struggle at Nashville will
be violent between the two classes of the old
order of meE and things, in which the new
ideas OF the day and of the Presidential canvass
will be ignored.
We can not tell how the ex-President
viii relish the amnesty" idea, but if he
can get the nomination, it may be inter-
preted in any way, SO far as he is con-
cerned.

THE contest over the anticipated vaean-

lieved by some that Col. Burch Cooke will
carry off the prize-should a vacancy oc-

THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

The Republicans in the First Congress-
ional District, will meet in Convention at
Rogersville junction to-day, for the pur-
pose of selecting candidate to represent
that district in the 43rd Congress. AS this
is the only district in the State that is
known to be certainly Republican, we
trust our friends there may take such &C.
ton as will insure harmony, and reflect
credit on the party. 1t will be an easy
matter to defeat the Democratic nominee
there. Nothing short of madness on the
part of our friends will elect him. A great
responsibility rests upon the Convention
to-day, and Republicans all over the State
and the country, expects such action as
will show that love of country is made sub
servient to personal ambition. Let fair
Convention be held, and then let every
Republican put his shoulder to the wheel
and brilliant victory will be the result.

he is so thankful to the Z" majority" there
is vein of sorrow perceptible throughout
his editorial, which shows how bitterly he
deplores the blindness of minority in
forcing candidate upon the Democratic
voters of the district.

THE New York Evening Post, one of
the very first papers in the country, that
commenced agitating the reform question,
alludes to the North Carolina election as
follows:

to the black men-he wouldn't be an average
black man if he didn't know enough to know
that when he sees the man who used to be his
master, and another man who used to kuklux
him, voting one way, that it is a safe thing for
him to pote the other"

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.

The canvass for the Democratic nominal
ton for Congress from the State at large,
is growing warm. Notwithstanding Andy
Johnson has been at the pains to state in
every speech he has made, beginning with
his effort at this place, that he is candi-
date for no office, every body understands
that he is very anxious for the nomination.
The Memphis Avalanche in speaking of
him says:
He himself declares he is not candidate
that he does not ask a nomination, not at all ;
but if it is rendered to him he VIII not be at lib
erty to decline. 1t is also reported that if he is
not nominated he will be candidate IN opposl-
ton to the Convention, appealing to the people
from the action of the Convention. He Is max
ing ardent and telling private speeches., declar-
ing that since everybody has been pardoned he
surely ought to be for his many sins. The
threatening attitude he occupies towards the
Convention alarms the leaders of that body.
Should he fail to get the nomination,
and should, as the Avalanche says is re-
ported, conclude to be a candidate in OPP
position to the Convention, appealing to
the people from the action of the Con-
vention," he would certainly make the
canvass warm one for the nomi-
nee. This threatening attitude will, no
doubt, have convincing effect on the
minds of delegates, and we would not be
surprised tosee them dealing very tenderly
with the ex-President. 1t is much easier
sometimes to control stubborn mule by
letting him havehis way for the time being
than to attempt TO push him along by sheer
force. In that case he may feel inclined to
"kick out of the traces whereas if he had
been dealt with in a different manner, he
might have come out all right and per-
formed good service, until he took another
"mulish' spell. If Andy should get the
nomination, he will owe it to this feeling.
He has succeeded in forcing more powerful
conventions to take him up than the one
assembling at Nashvilleto-day, and we will
not be surprised at his success there. They
will take him up through fear, and not

Father, dear father come home while you can,
We are weary of waiting so long;
You're fond loving, tender, kind, warm

And our arms clasp your neck as of yore,

swear
To eat of soft crabs nevermore.

From the Dc"rer (Co1) Nc,es, Dec. 81.
A bill will soon be introduced in
Congress for an enabling act for Col
orado. 10 overcome the supposed de-
ticiency in population to entitle the
new State to q Representative in Con-
gress, it is proposed to include the
Territory Of Wyoming. This plan has
been proposed and frequently advoca-
ted by the Ncrs We believe it the
best for many reasons. The State
will not be so large as either Texas or
California. The organization will ter
inmate the expense of two Territorial
governments and the many abuses
that grow up under them 1t will
give to the West three more votes and
a corresponding influence in Congress-
The official influence of Wyoming will
probably be against it. That Of the
people will not. In Colorado there
will not be any opposition at all or, at
most, not enough to carry any consld-
cradle weight. We hope the bill will
be introduced and crowded to its pass
