Iris a significant fact, as shown by the
election returns 50 far received, that the
Democratic gains have been in the cities
where the disaffected Republican politi-
clans principally dwell, while the Repub-
Iican gains have principally been in the
interior counties-among the farmers, and
sensible people, not worried over the spoils
OF political victories.

THE unusual zeal of the "big organ" in
disappearing Cheatham and enlogizing
johnson indicates that his election fund is
being lavishly expended by Andy. His
judgment as to the instruments to mould
public opinion in East Tennessee is not as
good as his friends had reason to expect.

"As goes Pennsylvania SO goes the
Union," is a good old adage that the Gree
leycrats won't dare dispute. The victory
OF yesterday ends their game of brag.
November will be but the formal register
ing of the verdict yesterday spoken for the
Republic

VICTORY AT WASHINGTON.

The decided majority in favor of Gen.
n. p. Chapman, the regular Republican
nominee for Congress at Washington, is
worthy of note. He was opposed by "a
coalition of all the odds and ends in the
District, and at one time his success was
doubtful. But there, too, the Performers"
and sOreheads have been defeated.

WE believe it was Mark Tapley who al
ways strove to be ''jolly under creditable
circumstances" We think the editors of
the Greeley organs who are now figuring
up a chance for Greeley's election next
November are veritable Mark Tapley's and
their efforts ought to be respected.

WE do not believe that Greeley will car
~ single Northern State next Novem-
Der. New York and New Jersey will vote
for Grant and Wilson by decided MAORI
ties. Judging from the shape the Mayor
atty contest is assuming, we have strong
hopes of even carrying New York city.
These seem to be the probabilities for next
election day

We should think the readers of the "big
organ" would by this time begin to see
that its opinions of elections are not worth
much. 1t suppresses all news unfavorable
to its side and misleads its readers by all
sorts of wild stories about victories that
never come.

Col. D. NJ. NELSON, of Bradley county,
is filling Capt. VIM. Crutchfeld's appoint
ments with Col Key, owing to the indis-
position of the former. There was joint
discussion yesterday between Col. Key
and Col. Nelson at Athens,

The "big organ" used its rooster last
week over the returns from Georgia. 1t
was pretty well satisfied it would be its
last chance to show the bird. He is sick
this morniDo-abOut as sick as poor Gree
ley at Chapglqua. Well. the philosopher
may possibly carry Georgia next Novem-
Der. From the style ofvoting down there
we should think his chances fair.

THE correspondents of the Nashville pa
pers both show that at Winchester Cheat
ham had the crowd with him with May
nard as the second in favor. The vote as
predicted by Cheatham's friends in that
county is 800 for the nominee" 800 for
Maynard and 200 for Andy.

ANDY JOHNSON is fond of referring to
the question of veracity between himself

for him an his friends to read what Mrs.
Williams says of his statement about Miss
Surratt.

THE people should begin to see now
what we have often said, that about all
there was to Greeley's chances for an cleo
ton was the brag" which he and his
papers INDUCED extravagantly from the
very beginning.

ballotted all day on the 10th, but so close
was the contest between Golladay and
Stark that nomination could not be made.
1t is probable that some compromise man

PldHIS Society, which confines its bust
"a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
cient to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
pie per cent per annuIn upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of tho Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
slve Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premll ms required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life =
, 1872-07-13

Assurances Of every description on sin
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 500 Dollars to 10000 Dol
lars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, Oil Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the pay
ment of their Premiums, may either dis
pose Of their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain o free Policy
for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members or the.
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof Of such death has been re-
ceiyed by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position-of
the Society are made quinquennially, and
the surplus then existing is allotted to the
Members, after a sufficient sun has been
est aside for the purposes of the Reserve
Fund. The next investigation and D wi
sion of Profits, will take place at the 31st
December, 1876.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
of the British West India Islands.

A Touching Story.

A Sunday school superintendent out
in Alaska treated his entire charge to
q sleigh ride. There was just forty
one Of the cherubs and a six-horse
sleigh. On the way home they were
beset by q pack of feroeious Wolves.
Cool and collected in that hour fear
full trial, the heroic superintendent
saw at a glance th6t he must soon be
overtaken. In an instant his quick
mind grssped the only chance Of es-
cape. Seizing the child that always
sung ~ Want to be an AngeP' two
notes too high, he flung it to the rapa-
cious horde. 1t stayed their onward
rush for a moment. Next came the
urchin who never brought any pen
nies to the heather. And 30 on swept
the pursued and the pursuers until the
last infaut was exhausted. But the
brave fellow had economized his ma
terial nobIy. And besides, a whole
Sunday School slows of wolves pre-
eeptibly. We have always noticed
this. In another moment the sleigh
dashed into the village, and the grand,
noble, true hearted man knew that he
was saved.

Fires In OIden Times.

A curious account of the fire which
happened in London in 1884 Is given
in aquartO-volume entitled "a Record
on the Mercies of God" "A fearful
fire began in Biggs house. 1t burnt
his house and the next, but Biggs, his
wife, child aud Made escaped. The
fire could not be quenched till il had
consumed all the houses from st.
Magnus to the first open space. There
was water enough neere, but it could
not be come at. Conduits were open
ed, and pipes cut open, water swept
down with broomes, but it was Gods
will that 1t should not prevaile; for the
three engines, though excellent things
did not prosper; they were all broken;
some lost their lives. The fire burnt
all night and part of next day, till all
was pulled down; yet the timber,
wood and Goals could not be quenched
all that week Tuesday, the 19th Of
February; for was there myself, and
a live coal fire did Durn my hand and
fingers. The ladders were broken 20
the hurt Of many. Legs, arms, Iibbs
were broken. At the beginning Of the
fire was in bed. heard the crying of
''Waterl-EaterI" / arose about one
O'Clock, and looked down Fish street
hill, and did behold so fearful and
dreadful fire Wanting itself over the
topps of houses, like q eaptaine
fiourishing and displaying his banner,
and seeing 80 much means, and little
good it did, it made me 10 think Of the
fise which the Lord threatened against
Jerusalem for the breachOf his Sabbath
daysThe brewers brought abundance Of
water in vessels on their d=aies; which
did good. Had the wind been high, I
think the whole city would have been
endangered, for in Thames street
there Is much pitche, tarTe, roson and
oyle. Therefore, as God remembers
mercy In justice, let US remember
thankfulness in sorrOw."

I don't know how you are dressing

Of last season, and very beautiful Of
course, as the new fashion always is
to a properly educated wOman's eyes.
Everything Is worn, 10 be sure, but i
noticed at the various receptions, din
ners, opera and plays that the 6O,iL-
Tons, pdnieTS, DOllfs aud large bows Of
last year are replaced by great fat
plaids, fringes and scarfs. The gown
Is straight in front; the waist Is short,
the corsage square In front and be-
hind, with only shoulder straps to
hold IL ; and on the beautiful and ugly
necks alike are displayed heavy jew
els, great chains and huge medalliOns.
On the head is the Spanish comb and
chOus Of lace and flowers, with long
double ribbons hosting their ends in
the braids which hang below the
waist. The back Of the neck, that
handsOmest part Of a beautiful WO-
man, is totally hidden from view. OF
course the tOilettes Of last year are also
seen, even on the elegantes; but the

Mr.. Hodge, proprietor Of a Quincy,
Mass, bakery, tells thrilling" sto-
~ of a young man who was employed
to drive a bake cart, and, though
doubts had been previously entertain
ed of his honesty, his accounts ofsales
always Tailed with the amount taken
out. After being employed fOrse7er-
al months the young man decided to
change his employment, and in set
Ting accounts there was a balance OF
$500, which was due from parties, to
whom, as the nice young man said,
he had given credit; but as they all
dwelt in one village, and never "bOb-
bed around" he assured his employer
that the collection Of the bills would
be an easy matter, and they could cas-
ily be found, as their names were in
scribed on the doors Of their resi-
dences.' A few weeks after he had
left, the baker sailed out with his
batch Of bills, all Of which he suppOs-
ed to be "gilt-edged," but 10 his as
tonishment the answer 10 his inqulr-
les in each easse proved that the
debtor had been an inhabitant Of The
JrqrelJdrd for a number Of years. The
cunning rascal had sold his bread to
cash customers, and balanced accounts
by copying names from the tomb
stones, making the dead his debtors,
and transferring the cash to his own
pocket.
