A wOMAN ADMITTED TO CIrE-
TEEsHIP

The Detroit Post says that novel and
interesting question was raised in the Uni
ted States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan, on the 4th inst, before
Judge Longyesr. Mrs. Sarah Ann Patter-
son, of Detroit, applied for, and was grant
ed, naturalization papers, admitting her
to all the rights of citizenship. This was
done under statute Of the United States
which provides that when man who has
declared his intention to become a citizen
dies before receiving his second papers,
bis widow is entitled to take out such sec
ond papers, and they entitle her and minor
children to all the rights and immun tiles Of
citizenship. In 1856, Joseph Patterson, hus-
band of the lady refer, to, declared his IN
tention to become citizen. Subsequently
he died, and now, his widow, in behalf Of
herself and her children, has taken out her
second papers, admitting her to full citi-
Zenship.

Messrs. Hartranft and Allen on the ticket,

that their names be scratched. Butno voter

on our ipSe dirit. W have presented char

the Ring champions answer them if they
can? They have not done so for the all
sufficient reason that they cannot. Not
single one of the blatant organs but for
whose craven subserviency the disgrsceful
State Treasury Ring which curses our
State would ere this have surrendered and
gone the way of Tammany, has Ventured
TO take up our indictment Of that Ring and
honestly attempted TO meet all its counts,
much less succeeded in answering them.

Settled Long Ago to Better Adyan.


tage.
New York, Sept. 16.--A Washington
dispatch says that the award Of the Geneva
tribunal does not excite the slightest enthu-
siasm in official circles. Attorney General
Williams, who is the only member of the
Joint High Commission now in Washing
ton, says that the award covers fully all
that the American members expected could
be awarded, while the sum is actually shert
of what the English members conceded
might be due under the declaration of Earl
Russell as set forth in the correspondence
between Minister Adams and the British
Premier. As for the establishment of new
principle of international law, II Is said on
the authority of a representative Of the
British Goyernment,gnow in Washington
who is fully posted on the whole question,
that as long ago as 1855, Russell would have
been glad to cancel all legitimate claims
against England for more than the amount
awarded by the tribunal, provided be could
have gained, as has now been accomplished
for sum less in dollars but richer in prin-
ciple to Great Britain. The amount in
cludes interest, which reduces the actual
amout to s1l 100000.

The following story illustrates how Amer
ican first families are made: Some years
ago charcoal pedler not far from Hartford,
Conn, had Newfoundland dog which he
learned to jump into his basket and lie low
while he filled in the charcoal. When the
peddler carried the basket very full into the
cellar, the purchaser looking out Of the
window and checking the basket was quite
satisfied. The dog, well trained, walked out
with his master as if nothing had happened.
The daughter of the charcoal peddler spent
several summers at Saratoga, during the
war, with two large "solitaires" on her per-
son.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says: ga
merchant of this city happened to be in one
OF our National Banks the other day, when
a gentleman, a customer and depositor in
the bank entered. He asked IL he could
secure a certain loan in the month of Oc-
tober. he was informed yes, If the cleo
ton was in favor Of Grant, but otherwise
nc! This is a sample Of the way in which
the Administration controlling the banks is
bringing is power to bear upon the people
in order to. secure reelection. Is not
that the best sort of reason why 1t should
not be again chosen?"

he offer? None, whatever, because there Is
none. Conventions are especially needful
In this State, because the overw Inning
majority of the Democracy produces mul-
tiplicity Of candidates, which endan-
gers the election of any Of them. We be-
lieye the welfare of the people of Tennessee

Democratic vote, we will not allow our pre-
ference for any particular man to cause US
