FOURTEENTH. The Republican party is mindful
of its obligations to the loyal women of America
for their noble devotion to the cause offreedcm |;
their admission to wider fields OF usefulness is re-

STATE TREAS uRER

A candidate not yet mentioned by
US, for the office of State Treasurer
has come to the surface in Northern
Iowa, and is developing considerable
strength in tn at section. We refer
to Col. A. T. REEVE of Hampton
Franklin county. We are not per
sonally acquainted with the Colonel,
but learn from those who are that he
is gentleman of worth and ability,
and it is calculated that he will fill
the Office we'll if elected. The fact
that his neighbors endorse him
speaks we'll of him.

The Candidates OF the Davidson County
Convention held on Saturday.


From the Nashville Union and Americana
The convention which was held at the
courthouse, yesterday, was one Of the
largest ever held in Davidson county.
every ward Of Nashville and Edgeield
and every civil district in the county ex-
cept one, being fully represented. There
certainly eve was u more harmOni-
Gus. none which ever BY its action made
a more complete acknowledgment Of
the necessity Of organization. The gen.
tlemen nominated are too well-known
10 the people Of Davidson 10 require in
PRODUCTION or commentator from US.
Mr.. Oyerton, the candidate for Senator,
is a native of this county. Being the
wealthiest man in Tennessee, and his
property consisting entirelyrOf reality,
be IS personally more deeply interested
in the vital questions Of finance and tax
alton than any other man in the State.
Mr.. OvertOn was never before a candi-
date for Office. The nomination yester-
day, though fully deserved, was totally
unsolicited and unexpected.
DR.. Gleaves, the candidate for Joint
Senator from the Twelfth District, Is an
old resident Of Wilson, well known to
the citizens Of that county and David
son. In 1856 he was a colleague of
the lamented HattOn in the Legislature,
and without disparagement 70 Others,
we can safely say that old Wilson was
never more ably represented in the
House than during that session.
Messrs. Bigley and Hamblen are pa
tives Of the county, both farmers of high
standing and intelligence, and well ac-
Quainted with the interests of their
people. Mr. billiard is a lawyer of quiet
department, Of experience as a member
of u City Council, and emphatically a
steady worker. Mr.. Cotton is an old
merchant Of the city. He, too, has con-
siderable legislative experience a. a
member Of the City Council.
The unanimity with which these rem
temen have been nominated augurs tri-
umphant success. II elected, we are
sure that they have energy and disposi-
ton to make their work acceptable TO
their constituents.

HAYNES rRIUnPHANTLY vTNDE-

We publish this morning an account
OF the discussion between the candidates
for Congress at Somerville on Monday.
From what we can hear Of the debate il
was, no doubt, the proudest day Of
Colonel Haynes's life. The vindica-
ton Of his private character from the
foul calumnies fabricated for the pur-
pose OF destroying him was crushing,
overwhelming. He came out Of the
fiery ordeal with his character as bright
and pureas refined gold. Mr.. Haynesfelt
wronged and outraged at the attempt
to sully his private reputation, and he
spoke with the earnestness Of an injured
man. In writhing under Mr.. Haynes's
triumphant ~vindication, Colonel Kellar
must have felt that he was in the hands

When he and Landon Haynes assume

ton. Under these circumstances MAJOR
A. s. Pess has announced himself
for Congress. He is true to the eOnsti-
tutionaI rights and interests of the
South, is Of a respectable family, was
born and raised in Grenada county,
graduated at Oxford, and fought and
bled for the "iost cause.i' He Is very
much opposed, be says, to independent
candidates announcing themselves re-
gardless of the expressed viii OF a
majority Of their party, and authorizes
all his friends to say that he will readily
decline in favor of any candidate his
party may nominate.
THE NEGRO VOTERS
will, it Is believed, almost unanimously
support the Radical candidates, and /
candidly confess that even If my idea
treating them were ~practiced, a majority
Of them would so vote. But / am very
ssnguine in the belief that by a proper
wav of treating the negroes, the more
sensible aud influential Of them would
vote with the Conservatives. Ourfrlends
among the farmers at first made the
treat mistake that they could lead the
negroes to vote just a. they might tell
them. OF this they were very sanguinei
and that, too, at the first of negroes
voting. and under other imposing cir
cumstances, giving our enemies prepon-
derating influence. Our friends were
most g~rievously mistaken. The negroes
an voted against them, and in disgust
tbev believe that honest whites can have
no political influence with the negroes.
They were wrong then, and r
WRONG NOW.
They thought they understood the
negroes, but were mistaken; they think
they understand the negro, but are mis-
taken. Allow me to say land know l
do so without vanity, and in the spirit
Of frankness and truth that L nave

study the negro characteristics from
ms boyhood. I have studied them
for fifty years, first under wise in
s~tructOrs and large slave owners,
and afterward by mingling with them
in O%rphanage, among small slave own
ers and large slave owners, by travelling
much, by owning them, by hiring them
and by reading all about them in Africa
I could find. The
NIGER CHARACTERISTICS
has been one of my special studies.
They are a much better race than they
are generally believed to be: They are

their confidence and love can be OBJ
tanned by true kindness and pleasant
manners. OF course l speak generally,
and, if you please, Of the more sensible
and Of the better grades-of a great
number who are leaders. Immediately
after peace, the scalawags and carpet
baggers got their confidence, but by
their mean conduct have partially lost
il. and are loosing it continually. Sensi-
bic negroes should be talked to much by

Leaning back and listening TO our for
mer Chief EXcellency-listening to the

in our mouths as household words, ap-
peals to the flag, the constitution and

of the cOckney Snowman, "Step up,

greatest exhibition Of the age. This
we're animal is the royal hippopotamus,
which, when closely persoOd, turns upon
his haXis and wanishes up his vertical

was a fraud, but this speech grew into a
habit Of his life, and he dreamed not
what a beggarly impOstor he was
making Of himself. Just so with my
friend Andy. He means all right, but
it never occurs to him that too much
