BOSS TWEED AND BOSS FINANCIER.
ING BY GRANT AND BOUTWELL,

1t is asserted that Boss Tweed owns
the sources Of w~ater-supply for New
York city, and unless prosecutions Of
the Boss be suspended, he may suspend
the supply Of that beverage, Of which
the Boss and his associates were not sup
posed before to recognize the value.
Grant aud Boutwell, in like manner bold
the valves to the Federal treasury; and
this pair Of worthless, as shown by the
condition of the money supply I'm this
city, where the best paper is sold at a
discount of five per cent. per month,
boldly declare to the people that they
must elect Grant or face financial ruin.
The purpose Of this needless pressure, eff
fected by Boutwell, and national banks, is
to alarm the people even as Boss Tweed
makes the CrotOn water drinkers and
bathers tremble. Boss it was that sug-
gested the dodge, and Grant and Bout
well practice it with wonderful skill.
If the possibility Of Greeley's election
beget this terrible tightness in the
money market, the inference Is that the
people should administer a laxative in
the shape Of Grant and Wilson. The
danger is that all honest men, in view
Of facts presented, will spew up the
profered remedy. In any event the
financial conduct OF the Federal Ad-
ministration, like the political action Of
Cameron and railway rings in Pennsyl-
vania, smells to heaven. 1t would be
most fortunate II, while Boss Tweed
ehOkes off Croton water from New York
with n hand, he could administer co
ton oil to the eountry's finances with the
other, and by this anne means free US Of
Grant and Boutwell,.

THE rssuE CALMLY coNs1pEREp

In all probability the Radicals will
re-elect Grant and retain their over
whelming majority in Congress. This
fact should contribute largely to the de-
feat Of Andrew johnson. Almost every
day we hear the friends and supporters
Of General johnson arguingin this way:
there is no hope for Greeley; all is lost;
the Radicals will not relent; now let US
send Johnson to Congress, who will fight
Grant and expose the corruptiOns Of
Congress. This is the logic Of despera-
ton. 1t would show the courage Of the
little bull which came down from the
mountain and planted himself on the
railroad track; but johnson in Congress
would share the same fate which over
took the spunky bull that collided with
the snorting locomotive. If Tennessee
undertakes 10 rebuke the Administra-
ton by sending Andrew johnson to
Congress, won't the Administration in
turn rebuke Tennessee for electing An
drew johnson, by refusing TO grant
everything johnson favors? The friends
Of the ex-President are continually as
serting: Oh, but we owe Mr.. johnson q
debt Of gratitude-we must help him
avenge his wrongs. What are the
wrongs Of a single individual in compar-
ison with the great destiny Of the coun-
try? Gratitude Is a c~ommendable trait,
but it is not gratitude, but a great
crime against the people, when
debts Of gratitude are paid by
espOusing private quarrels at the
peril Of the public peace Of the country
and the interest Of every citizen Of Ten
nessee. II you want to see Radical
wrath concentrated on Tennessee with
the focus Of a thousand lenses, elect An
drew johnson TO Congress. The morbid
ambition for ofhce-the deep consuming
feeling Of revenge, which,

THE PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECT.

At a meeting Of the Democratic Ma
tional Executive Committee at the
| Spingler House, New York, on the four
tenth, reports from various States were
presented. The reports from Ohio and
Indiana were in the highest degree en-
I couraging. The German vote in Illinois
is counted upon as being fully sixty per
cent. for the Liberal-D Democratic ticket,
probably in consequence Of 8 candidate
Of their OWL nationality for Governor on
the Liberal ticket. 1t is expected that
their vote will decide the contest in this
hitherto doubtful State in favor of Mr..
Greeley. In Ohio it is estimated that
from six thousand to eight thousand
Liberal Republicans who did not vote
at the State election viii cast their suf-
frages for Mr.. Greeley. In the lower
tier Of Democratic counties in Ohio, per
haps two thousand or three thou
sand Democratic votes will be got
ten out through the personal exer-
tons Of Messrs. Mclean and PendletOn,
and Senator Thurman, who viii visit
the southern districts and urgetown and
county managers TO do their full duty.
Mr.. Ransom, of North Carolina, re-
ported that the Georgia election had
inspired the whole Of the South. The
effect Of that election had been 10 make
ali the Southern States unite with each
other. Governor Randolph said: My
own honest conviction is that we can
carry New Jersey, although we are to
have a hard fight" The Wisconsin
delegate said that they expect to carry
Wisconsin now. On doubt being ex-
pressed Of this, and the question "How
are you going to do it2" being asked,
the delegate replied, Milwaukee alone
will do it. The German vote will DO
the work.

go his level best, and just did it.
Now, you bet Barnes was ae-
tually getting left behind, and
warming up to his work he commenced
in right good earnest 70 sing out, Hi

-''both on 'em.r The people they
passed seeing their speed and the old la
dy's hat on the back of her neck, her
shawl streaming out behind, and the
courage with which she hung ON to the
lines, clapped their hands and encour-
agingly sung out, Good, old galp'-
"Gay old birdrj-" 2:40rr-" Bully for
old Quakerw And as they passed the
two hotels, the fast boys on the piazzas
gave them three cheers with a vim-in
fact, with several extra Wins.
Joe's mother-in-law took the first
evening train for her Green Mountain
home. His parting words were "he
should not dare allow her to drive
Quaker again, as he had cautioned her
to drive slow, and she had gone and
beat of the fastest horses in town."
Joe said next day, with a quiet twin
kle in his eye, that his wife did not give
him a "curtain lecture'' that night, and
when parties put up their little bets on
it, he proved by Jack Barnes that they
went out to PittsbuTg for their chicken
fxings and eteeteras, and didn't get
back until six o'clock next morning.

AT THE FAER MOUNDS.
The Shelby County Fair win prove
eminently successful. The exhibition
Of cattle, horses and swine is most at
tractive. Other proper adjuncts Of such
an occasion are not wanting, but very
certainly those addicted to the most at
tractive pursuits Of agricultural life will
be gratifed beyond measure by visiting
the Fair Grounds. Specimens OF agri-
cultural products, corn cotton, wheat,
potatoes, rye, barley, aud various grass
es on exhibition, illustrate the wonder
full pr0ductiyeness Of the country, and
its Hmitiess capacity for the creation Of
wealth. Time, training, density OF pop
ulstson and accumulated riches alone
are wanting to make these exhibitions
in the South transcend in s-ttractiveness
those Of any other ofthe Union. Itishard-
Btob be presumed that a country ofwhich
the oldest citizen born within its limits
is less than fifty years Of age, could COM
pete in art or in wealth with others
whose history began almost with the
discovery Of the continent. What time
and training and Accommodations Of for
tune have failed to perfect is achieved
by a fsultless climate, exuberaHt soil
and t~ireless toll. Fortunes wrecked by
war have been rapidly reproduced,
schools have been r~eestablished,
churches rebuilt, farms re-enclosed,
houses re-attached to chimneys that not
long ago stood everywhere specifies
monuments, yet eloquent Of desolation
wrought by armies. Seven years
Of war and OF a nor disas-
trOus social revolution that fol-
lowed war, may account for any
deiciencyin industrial excellence, which
might cause one who has seen recent
Fairs in Eastern communities to nsti-
tute ungenerous contrasts. What leis-
ure and wealth and overweight intel
lectual forces have accomplished in
older Suites, has been done here by the
superhuman energy and t~ireless exeTtion
and unbending courage Of a people Of
unconquerable spirit. With property
swept away by the decree Of the bayonet,
with masters set over US who were re-
Gently slaves, with villains in every
Office who riOted in wealth wrenched
from unrewsrded toll, with unheard Of
public burdens 10 endure, with public
and private credit destroyed, it is won
derful that the people Of the South had
not lost selfrespect and forgotten every
honorable pursuit and lofty aspiration.
II one would learn how unjust are those
sspersions Of Southern purposes, pur-
suits, habits and instincts which adOrn
the pages Of Northern Radical p~ictorials
and constitute the burden Of Morton's
speeches, be need only visit the Mem
phis Fair Grounds, where admirable
illustrations OF the progressive industry
OF this and adjacent States may be con-
tenplated.

the marvellous, but when we call to mind
the rapid railroad construction Of the

lieve almost anything in reference to it,
not outside the bounds Of reason. We
wish all concerned abundant success.

MOTHER-IN-LAw's FAST RIDE


From Turf, Field and Farm.l
Joe S. is the fortunate possessor Of q
mother-in-law, and, what he probably
thought more Of among bis horses was
one known as Quaker. Now, Quaker
was a good roader, and could and would
Jerk a wagon with two in Il in 2:5I on
I the road, and the harder be was pulled
in and the more be was yelled at the
faster be meant to go. In fact, when a
competing horse ranged alonside and a
strong pail was taken, accompanied
with yells, be thought be must do his
level best on trotting, and you bet he
did it. Not many years ago, when the
county fair was held where Master Joe
! then lived, he had old Quaker hitched
up 70 a one hundred and thirty-pound
three-quarter-seated wagon, and as he
was getting in mother-in-law wished 10
go with him. He informed her that he
was going to the town clerks Office, at
the lower end of the village about a
mile, and if she was IN a hurry 10 re-
turn she would have to drive back
alone, and then cramped the wagon
for her a~dmittance; and, with head
dropping and ~slouching gait, old Quaker
walked along, taking the nl-assorted
pair to the town clerks Office. Now. be
it known, Joe dearly loves fun, and will
have it a often as possible, while
mOther-in-law is a rigid, old-fashioned.
sky-blue Baptist, undoubtedly very good,
but unfortunately possessed with the idea
that TO laugh is TO sin. 1t so happened
that every team at that time was going
to the Fair Grounds, or else was walk
ing; so Quaker had no chance % ''score
up.5 But just as they arrived at the Of
fee Of the town clerk, S. saw Jack
Barnes coming on his way to the fair.
Now Jacks mare has the reputation Of
being four OF five seconds faster than
old Quaker. To turn Quaker around,
jump out and advise mOther-in-laW to
drive slow going home was but a min
ute's work, and then, holding up his
hand to attract Jacks attention, he told
him he would pay chicken fxings and
~etceteras If be would range alongside
Quaker at speed, yell and spirit the old
horse up the street TO the Fair Grounds
entrance. A nod, and Jack touches
Lady Cutler with his whip, sings out
git! and lays for Quaker, who, hearing
the stopper coming, grabs at his bit.
Mother-in-laW takes hold Of reins in
front Of the buttons; put feet against
brace iron in front, and as the lady
ranges alongside, Jack yelling live
Iy, motheT-in-iaW takes her strong
est pull, screaming WhOal to stop her
aanimile." But he didn't stOp-not
much-he didn't. The pull was Just
enough to steady him good; whoa he
evidently considered to be meant ior a
sell to the ether horse, and seuatted 70

1t will be seen from a communication

gentleman has been nominated for the
Legislature by the people Of Hardeman
county. Colonel Polk is a Southern
man whose every nerve throbs with the

There is not a truer or better nan in

Polk. He is well versed in politics, and
familiar with the wants Of the State,
and should he be elected to the Legisla-
