porary advantage to the political party
with which he is connected.
To his liberality and moderation, the re-
suit of his generous nature, may be added
his progressiveness. He is actively ldentl-
fed with every measure calculated to ele-
vate and stimulate the people to work for
their own good.
He is willing to serve us i'll the Senate.
He has not sought the office, but the office
seeks him. We call upon the people of the
district to elect him, and thereby secure
the services of one who is not politician
in any sense of the werd, but who is capa-
BILE, honest, vigilant, active, brave, and
true. He should be elected by the unani-
nous voice of the people. Men of all
parties can support him. Democrats may
vote for him without doing violence to
their feelings, knowing him to be honest
in all he does. Republicans may vote fol-
him, knowing that he is faithful and true.
All may vote for him, because he desires
nothing so much as his country's good.

Sabbath School Celebration.

Thre was held, on Saturday last, aDoth-
er of those very pleasant Sunday School
''happies" at the Roddy Branch school
house, for which "South America" has be-
come so noted of late. Although the
heavy clouds and chilly air prevented
many from coming, a large number were
in attendance.
The morning was taken up in a short,
pointed and timely sermon, by the Rev.
Mr.. Ayrs, who has been appointed to this
circuit the ensuing year. After the SER
mon an ample supply of goodies" were
spread by the ladies, on long row of slab
benches that were substituted for tables,
and the hungry multitude was cordially
invited to "pitch-in'-said invitation was
responded to with a right good will. If
there was not taken up twelve baskets full
it certainly was not the fault of the ladies.
After dinner the little folks took a little
recreation in running after the SUNDAY
school man, enticed by the picture cards,
of which he always seems to have full
supply in his saddle-pockets, for such oc-
casions.
Next followed the music, played by the
Louisville band, and singing by the school
after which Mr.. Lewis made a lengthy
and affective address, which he said he
preacher and had married the daughter OF
a preacher, who had two uncles who were
preachers (; and our impression was that a
very good preacher was spoiled when he
chose the profession of law.
Rev. G. B. Lord followed with a short,
clear, and forcible speech, earnestly APP
pealing to parents and teachers to have
more faith in the promises of Gods Word
in their efforts to bring the unconverted to
Christ, and especially the young.
The Sunday School Missionary closed
the exercises of the day in a short appeal
to the Superintendent, teachers, and pa
rents not to let the school close for the
winter, as they had proposed to do. In re-
spouse to this appeal, vote was called for
by the Superintendent, and they unani-
mously voted to go forward with the
school through the winter months. May
all our county schools do likewise. J.C

ONE secret of ThOrnburgh's surprising
strength among the masses of the people
is the gallant and dashing style of his can
vass. Young, full of courage and Of great
force AMI vigor, he entered the campaign
with heavy odds against him. He has in
the first place to contend against the "mon-
strOus deformities'' of this district. For
weeks he has been buried in the noun
tains fighting against the regular nomi-
nee" in region unfriendly to him. The
district was mapped out for the cypress pDr-
pose Of defeating any independent or Re
publican candidate. But this outrageous
act is one the people condemn, and they
naturally sympathize with the "little At
torney General who boldly fights such
odds. Another reason that the "whippers
in" are at work to save the Organization. ;"
They are appealing to all the bitterest pas
sions Of the war to rally Democrats to Gen.
Cheatham, Gen. Brown, Col. Key and (?)
Caldwell. This again gives Thornburgh
the sympathy of the liberal eX-confederate
and Union men. They know that he has
always been liberal, magnanimous man.
When the war ended he did all he could to
allay its passions. The masses, therefore,
sympathize with Thornburgh as against
those agitators and disturbers of the peace.
They know, if elected to Congress, he will
look after the peoples interests and not go
there to stirup contention and bitter strife.
From every part of the district the news
comes that the people, without party dis
tinction, are rallying around him and they
propose to elect him and rebuke the trad
ing politicians for making such a shame
full district and making the canvass on bit
ter partisan issues. En- et--+se--#

WE publish in this issue lengthy extracts
from splendid speech delivered by Hon.
Horace Maynard in Memphis, Its defence
of Grants administration is complete and
in good spirit. His eXtinguisher of Lam
don c. Haynes is merited. 1t is high time
these demagogues going about prating
about the tyranny and prescription of the
Republican party were exposed. 1t is just
such men as Haynes who were themselves
intolerant, oppressive and vindictive when
in power that now talk of wrongs never
inflicted and of a despotism that never eX-
listed. Mr.. Maynard shows how these
men pursued him and his family when
they were left without protection, and
then how leniently they were treated by a
Government they had most cruelty wrong
ed. If these men insist on raking up the
bitter recollections of the past, they must
not be surprised if there comes again to
the surface some of their own crimes and
infamies. The Union men of East Ten
nessee have not stirred up these smOlder-
ing fires, but if they are to be again famed
into the white heat Of 1852, woe be to
those whose folly sent new life into the
dying embers.

WHY ?.-The question has been
frequently asked, why is it that the
Republicans of Nevada are so far
behind their brethren of the East in
the matter of selecting delegates to
the National Convention. What are
they about? Rumor hath it that
there is trouble brewing in the camp
of the the truly loil." The job
can't be put up to the entire salts
faction Of certain manipulatOrs-
hence the delay, each gang of opera
tors ~preferring to worry the thing
out by procrastination, rather that
take the chances of seeing a fellow
conspirator tinguring too many of
the strings. One of the schemes on
foot is a plan to swindle the Repub-
llcans out of a representation by
having the delegates to the Philadel-
phia Convention appointed by the
Republican State Central Committee,
instead of calling a State Convention.
1t would be we'll for the voters of
that party to inquire into this
precious bit of trickery, and ascer-
tain its object. There is a screw
loose in the concern that will sur
prise some of the honest admirers
of General Grant.

CARL

The bitterness in the United States
Senate between the Administration
Senators and the anti Grant ''cabal'
shows no indications of diminution.
On the contrary it is being daily ag-
gravated, and Cancellation made
more difficult. Senator Schurz's
great speech on Tuesday, the i'm
mense crowd which attended, the IT.
repressible enthusiasm of the gall
~laries, the angry confusion and de-
nunciations of the ring Senators,
bode no good for smooth sailing in
the future. Schurz boldly threw
down the glove in the face of the
Senators, and dared them to snap
their party whip over his head. He
told them ''in words that breathe
and thoughts that burn" that the
party whip has lost its terrors. Its
cracking will not stay the movement.
Whatever others may do, L have
taken my lot, and with this cause L
will stand or fall"
These words will be heard and APP
preciated throughout the land.
They sound the tocsin of war like
the I'M tones that lately Sum-
moned the German legions to the
Rhine. The scene in which this
Senator was a central figure in the
Senate, was worthy of the nobler
days of that body.

For GRANT.-Several States elect
ed delegates to the Grant Conven-
ton this week, including South
Carolina, Kansas, Indiana and Mis-
souri,. The office-holders have
everything their W way, except IN
Missouri, where an attempt to in
struct the delegation for Grant failed.
Indiana instructed for Grant and
Colfax-the unfortunate ColfaX who
don't want any o office. General
Tom.- Browne was nominated for
Governor in the Indiana Convention,
heating Ben. Harrison, the grand
son of the former President. If
they are not careful this will beat
the Republicans in Indiana this

THE HIDDEN TREASURE ExPEDI-
TIoN.-The San Francisco Figaro
says:
Everything is ready for the de-

the treasure which all are aware is
buried somewhere in Cocos Island.
Mrs. WEIGH solemnly AYERS that she
knows where this treasure is buried,
and can point out the exact spot

nation from spirits, but on matter
of-fact grounds. The Laura, which
is about to sail, is a stout brig, newly
rugged and fitted up with every COM
fort for crew and passengers. Cap
tain Welch is a man of much expert
ence; and, under his careful guild
ance, the Laura is safe from disaster.
As the time for the sailing of the ex-
petition draws near, the stock OF the
company is in great demand; and
many hundreds of dollars worth have
been sold in the last few days"

been more or less under water all
that time. Now there is a prospect

some traces Of gold. A blast vas

THE LABOR CONVENTION.

The National Convention of Col
umbus met on the Dist, with $50
delegates present, representing sew
enteen States. E. NJ. Chamberlain,
of Mass, was chosen President of
the Convention. The following is
the Geographic summary of the
platform:
First, declaring in favor of the
adoption of the national circulating
medium issued directly to thepeople
without intervention by banking cor
porations ; second, payment of the
national debt at the earliest option
of the Government, without mort
gaging the property or labor OF the
people to enrich the capitalists !;
third, denouncing the exemption of
Government bonds from taxation !;
fourth, opposing the grants of pub
lie lands to corporations fifth. fav-
oring such modification of the tariff
as will assist in further developing
the resources of the country sixth,
declaring that the importation OF
Chinese laborers should be prohib-
tied by Congress !; seventh, demand
ing the enforcement of the eight
hourl law on all public works ; eighth,
declaring in favor of collecting the
cost of wars during their progress,
instead of creating a public debt ;
the tenth calls for legislation to pre-
vent eXtortion by railroads and tele-
| graphs the eleventh favors the me
term principle the twelfth favors
general amnesty and equality for all;
the thirteenth demands the sublec-
ton of the military to the civil au-
thority the fourteenth recommends
IL revision of the Patent laws 50 as to
give labor the full benefit of lnven-
tions the fifteenth declares fitness.
and not political or personal consld-
erations, the only recommendation
to public office.
Several gentlemen were placed in
nomination for the Presidency in
Guiding Governor Geary, Julien,
Governor Palmer; Parker, of New
Jersey: Horace Greeley, and others.
On the third ballot Judge Davis vas
nominated. Parker, of New Jersey,
was nominated for Vice President.
The platform is a good n gener-
ally. The candidates are strong
men. Judge Davis, of Illinois. is
one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court. He has been a consistent
Republican from the beginning, but
moderate and conservative-so much
so as to have little sympathy for the
revolutionary legislation of the Radi-
cal Congress of late years. Lincoln
and Davis we're warm friends in for
mer years. Judge Davis is a man of
wealth. He would needno presents.
He has ability, and the respect of
men generally of all parties. If the
Cincinnati Convention of Liberal
Republicans also nominate him, he
will be a powerful candidate. If the
Democratic National Convention
should also nominate him, General
Grant might as well commence pack
ing his trunks.

Horace Greeley re-echoes the
stirring speech of Carl Schurz.
Party whips have lost their terror
they crack in vain. Greeley gives
due notice that conventions will
have no binding force with him.
They are but guide-boards," to be
followed, consulted, ignored,
needed or disregarded,' as he may
think proper.

THE ENTERPRISE AND THE MIS-
SOURI, POLICY.

The Enterprise appears to be run
ming a little circus of its own, IN
which the editor is the leading oper-
a+or. He bounces into the ring,
filings a few handfuls OF sawdust,
turns some characteristic summer
saults, andthen pitcht S into the dead
Democracy" with absolute reckless
ness. He kills it off with a PEN
stroke, 'revives it with a sentence,
and shakes before it through a para
graph. The metamOrphoses the
Democratic party undergOes under
his pen are absolutely bewildering.
Now you see it, and now you don't.
He swings his tomahawk and dances
in paint and war trappinGs, around
the Democracy like an Apache in
front Of one of General Crook
battaliOns. He swearS in one breath
that the Democracy are dead, but
wisely takes good care to keep out
of the range of its guns. If his
acrobatic jumps and tumblings are
half as interesting to himself as they
are amusing to the public, it is no
wonder Piper had to close the Opera
House. If what he calls ''the pas
sive policy" produces these extra
ordinary commissions this early, what
sort of a condition will he be in
next November?
Now about this ''pasSive policy
said to have been recommended IN
this State. The Democratic Central
Committee recommended no passive
policy. 1t recommends, in a certain
contingency, the Missouri policy"
i very different thing from the pas
sive policy as antagonistic as war IS
to peace. The Committee rejected
the passive policy. There is not a
known member of the Committee who
favors the passive policy. The two
terms have frequently been used in
Discriminatory by reckless writers
who evidently never understood what
they were talking about. The So
called Passive Policy" was origin
ally applied to proposition that the
Democracy make no nomination Tor
the Presidency, but to allow the
election to go by default. The Mis-
souri, policy on the contrary,
originated in a proposition to not
only make a nomination but to fight
it on that line, if it takes all sum
mer !" a proposition to nominate, if
possible, the same individual for the
Presidency, that the other wing of
the opposition nominate in the Con-
vention of Liberal Republicans. In
other words, that the two conventions
nominate the same man, and that the
Democracy go ahead making its own
distinctive fight as it has always
done. The Enterprise will be for
tunate if it does not have occasion to
practically learn the distinction be-
tween these two propositions and
terms before the year is e
