['' An act to raise revenue by imposing a duty

COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.
return this obnoxious measure with
out my approval. The man who intro
duced it is an ass the men who voted for
it are scheming British agents and the
men who say this is not the case are liars
and horse-thieves. l Judge that, on an
average, every man, woman, and child in
America, uses a ton Of guano year in
some shape or other whether as farmer
in New York, Louis ana, Colorado, Po-
duke, ETC., in agricultural or as Charles A.
Dana, for editorial articles. We thus con-
sumo, i'll round figures, 100000 tons of
guanO annually. The arbitrary and revo-
lutiOnary act which l veto to-day would
thus impose tax of four millions of dol
lars year Oh our people. With what
effect 1t would not stimulate the pro-
duction of American guano. American
birds could not compete with the pauper
labor of birds in deDauched and priest
ridden Central America. / am not quite
sure as to what mean, or why it is not so,
or what is which, but the man who speaks
to the contrary is hell hound and brbed
by British gold.

RELIC OF TRAFALGAR.

A national relic has lately been destroyed
at Plymouth, England. The Victory, the
war ship on which the famous Nelson re-
ceived his death wound in the battle Of
Trafalgar, has been broken up. The battle
took place on the 21st of October, 1905, and
resulted in the almost complete annihila-
ton of the French and Spanish fleets. 1t
left Great Britain undispuIed mistress of
the seas, position she has maintained from
that day to the present time. The Victory
was a vessel of over one hundred guns, a
first-class war ship in her day, but com
pletely useless for modern warfare. Thu
timbers were Of stout English oak, and
were almost as sound when the vessel was
broken up as on the day she led the British
feet to victory. 1t was on this famous ship
that Nelson ran up his signal, England
expects every man to do his duty" as she
bore down on the allied feet scattering
death and destruction wherever she moved.
Trafalgar was beyond all question the
greatestnaval battle everfought. The British
fleet consisted Of twenty seven ships of the
line and four frigateS; the French and
Spanish fleets of thirty-three ships of the
line and seven frigates. In the terrible gale
which followed after the battle all but four
Of the twenty prizes were lost, but the Vic
tory weathered it in safety and conveyed
the dead body of her heroic commander to
Plymouth, to be embalmed by a nations
tears. The destruction of the grand old
relic will be regretted by the conservative
heart Of Britain.

Maj. James L. Rice is announced this
morning as a candidate for joint RePresen-
tative from the counties of Davidson, Rob
ertson, Cheatham and Montgomery, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Hon. VIM. Moore. The time fixed for
the election, the OH instant, is so
near at hand that no opportunity
is afforded for general consultation. Yes
terday Hon. G. A. Henry was by tele-
gram solicited by number of our citizens
to become a candidate. But as no response
was received, Maj. Rice was then solicited
to allow the use of his name, to which he
finally consented.
Maj Rice, of the firm Of Rice
& Thompson, attorneys, has been
for many years citizen of Nashville. He
is a gentleman Of ability and irreproachabe
character, well-known in the community
and universally esteemed. He will doubt
less have no opposition unless the Radicals
should attempt to run in man. If elect
ed, he viii certainly make a representative
entirely satisfactory to his constituents.

BRACE OF sCoUNDRELs.

The Quincy (Fla.) Journal has this inter
esting reference to two characters who
have a position of unenviable notOriety
before the public, especially of NortI
Carolina and Florida, for several year,
past:
"a requisition for the surrender Of Gen
NJ. S. Littlefie,d to the authorities of North
Carolina has been made by the Governor
of that State on Gov. Day. This State
however, has prior claim on him. An in
dictment for bribery, committed, as alleged,
in Leon county, has beel impending over
Littlefeld fer couple of years, and be has
been at large during tina. time under heavy
bonds. On Tuesday last, when the reqUi-
sition from North Carolina arrived, his
bondsmen withdrew from his bond and
surrendered him to the State authorities.
Since then be has been in the custody of
the sheriff Of Leon county, and vainly en-
deavoring to make a new bond. At last
accounts it was understood that he was
lodged in jail. Considering that, at the
beginning of the session of the Legislature,
Gen. Littleield came TO Tallahassee with
high hopes of being sent to the United States
Senate, his present condition at its close is a
sad commentary on the vanity of all human
SEPARATIONS, and a pregnant Illustration of
re treacherous mutability Of all mundane
Affairs.
George W. Sepson, whose name has a
notoriety in Florida not altogether enviable,
and reckth somewhat, also, in North Caro-
lima, is again in trouble in Tallahassee.
That little tritle of S42S0oO or so. which il
is claimed he obtained from the State by
devious methodist a thorn in GEORGES side
which gives him no little annoyance. He
was arrested in Tallahassee some short
while ago, on the charge of embezziing the
above little amount, and gave bail for his
appearance there on the both inst. lie was
arrested again last week on the same charge
in Savannah, gave bail again and reluct-
antly kept his compulsory appointment in
Tallahassee. The matter is now undergo
ing investigation before the Supreme cours,
and we rather suspect that a repulsve ar
ray of disgusting frauds viii be exposed to
view"
THE Tallahassee Sentinel says Lieut..
Gov. Day, now acting Governor Of Florida,
is holding the requisition of the Governor
of North Carolina for Littefeld "uuder
advisement." a similar requisition was
made upon Gov. Reed a year or more ago,
but he was protected 10y Reed, and has thus
far gone unwhipped of justice. The course
of Reed in this matter has been an outrage
common decency and the comfy that
should exist between the States. If there
be an honest, bona tide intention to try
Littlefeld in Florida on a charge of crime,
why, let the case go on and the laws Of the
State be indicated. But, if this Florida
prosecution is simply pretext for shielding
a scoundrel from the punishment due his
crimes-as public opinion regards it-then
is the whole proceeding a most shameful
enc, aud derOgatory to the character of the
State.

THE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN AID.
DRESS

We have been furnished with an address to
the Liberal Republicans of Tennessee. We
publish it this morning, and commend it to
the consideration of those Republicans who
oppose the aggresslons and corruptions of
the Grant party. An opportunity is now
presented for those members of the Repub-
lican party wh1 desire the downfall of CEN
tralization, to show their faith in their
works. They can accomplish nothing
without organization. The time has come
for them to act. A formidable demonstra-
ton at Cincinnati will secure the defeat of
Grant.

'LET us have peace" said Gen. Grant
when he accepted the Chicago nomination
for President. The lot OF the Southern
people has been no common one; their suff-
erings no common sufferings, nor is what
they have lost to be measured by any COM
mon standard. Amid it all they have been
brave, stout-hearted, courageous; not sui
len, nor despairing, though greatly tempted
to despair; but looking forward, through
present darkness and over present calami-
ties, to the dawn of better day; still Grant
does not give this people the peace he pre-
tended to favor.
