1.-THE RECORD
PROSPECTUS.

The want of religious paper. which should possess
certain well defined characteristics has long been felt
in East Tennessee. Such paper it was seen should
be so cheap that every family might take it yet so
high toned fresh Ambiguous to behghly esteemed
local in character to interfere with none of our
able religious weeklies published abroad; and so ex
cuvely religious to compete with none of our pro-
gressive secular papers,
1t proposed to meet this want by the publication at
Knoxville. Tennessee. of paper called The RECORD
which while especially under Presbyterian auspices
shall sincerely aim to develop the religious interests of
East Tennessee The news of all the churches and re-
igious bode, in section will be thankfully accent
3D. and will be given fully and mrartially as nos
sible.
The great aim will be to acquaint churches with
one another and place people in practical sympa-
thy with the great religious movements and the
est Christian thought of the age Politics will be en-
tirely excluded Nothing uncharitable or partisan
controversial will be admitted, but only that which it
is hoped may promote the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ in whose namethis enterprise is begun.
We desire to place the paper in every family in East
Tennessee and to this end earnestly ask the co-opera
ton of every Christian worker That cheapness and
excellence may be combined. it will be ssued monthly,

Hen. Horace Maynard.

From the Bulletin Of the Penn. Ind, League
The successful political canvass made by
Horace Maynard, against his two formida-
BILE antagonists, for the office of Congress
man at Large from the State of Tennessee,
is the most chivalrous and distinguished
performance which the political history of
the country will record. There has been
nothing to compare with it except the
great debate between Lincoln and Doug
las, in Illinois, which was more mOmen-
tous in its consequences, but did not re-
quire from the actors such high courage
and varied ability as has been displayed by
Mr.. Maynard in the struggle from which
he emerges as victor. His triangular con-
test as a Republican candidate against
johnson and Cheatham was of such nature
as to reopen for discussion all the issues
and events of the war, as well as the policy
of General Grants administration, and he
fearlessly met his opponents upon the
stump in every part of the State, facing
audiences in which the unreconstructed
rebel element, in many instances, largely
predominated. The result is seen only in
his own election, but also in the vote of the
State upon the Presidential issue, and in
its Congressional delegation and Legisla-
ture. 1t is a political revolution full OF
good omen and of national Importance.
Mr.. Maynard has been most useful pub
lie servant, he has had much experience III
national affairs, and he will return to Con-
gress with large accession of influence
which will be exerted for the benefit of his
constituents and of the country at large
His old district, mapped out specially tc
defeat him, and called, from its absurd
shape, "the Battering RAM" has surprised
everybody by electing Col. Thornburgh, g
Republican and a sound Protectionist.
We conclude that in Tennessee ''the bloody
ohasm" is about closed, and its immigra-
ton agency will hereafter do profitable
business.

PRESIDENT GRANT and family excused
themselves from attending diplomatic
dinner at the residence Of the Secretary Of
State on Saturday night because Of the
death of Horace Greeley. The people who
without party distinction mourn the loss
of the great journalist as national calam-
ity, will appreciate the Presidents action
as not only proper and fitting recogni-
ton Of the great worth and valuable seryi-
cesof Mr.. Greeley, but as in keeping with
the widespread feeling Of sorrow that is
shared by all classes in every section of the
country

IT seems from the Tribune that Mr.
Greeley has written butlittle for his journal
since he resumed editorial control of it after
the election. He wrote an editorial, at the
time attributed to his pen, Conclusions"
in which he gave his views of the result OF
the election. On several occasions he be-
gan articles. but finding his strength fail
ing, he handed them to his assistant, sug-
costing that the idea might be proftably
carried farther.
He was not pecuniarily as well off as was
supposed. He was credited during the
campaign with having made liberal con-
tributions to the campaign committees.
His life was insured for one hundred thou
sand dollars for the benefit Of the Tribune
association.

THE FoR1Y-rH1RD CONGRESS.

Vice President Wilson, who will preside
gress, is from New England. If Speaker
Blaine should be reelected as Speaker Of the
House of Representatives, it would give to
New England the presiding officers Of both
branches Of our next Congress. Is there
any reason why she should enjoy such
unusual prepo nderance over the West the
Middle States or the South? We fa-
vored Senator Wilson for the nom-
nation for Vice President because
he was eminently qualified for the place
titled to the position. We have q very great
respect for and high appreciation Of the
abilities and past services of Hon. JAIME G..
Blaine. We do notwish to be understood as
disparaging in any way his great ability, or
his merits as public officer, But he has
twice been chosen to the third office in the
republic, and inasmuch as his section has
been honored in the election of that pure
man, Henry Wilson, we think he should
give way for the representative of some
other section Of the country.
The South has no such representation in
any Of thedepartments Of the Government
as she deserves. We think in the person
Of Hon. Horace Maynard she presents a
gentleman in every way worthy Of the
position Of Speaker Of the House of Rep
resentatives. For near fourteen years he
has been one Of its ablest members.

MEMS RIGHTs.-A correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette thus writes in
behalf of his sex: 81 am," he says, ga
bachelor, thirty one years of age, in sound
health, and in receipt Of 81 500 per year,
and therefore good match for any woman,
no matter whom she may be; yet remain
unmarried from principle, and will remain
single until the laws are SO altered as to
make me master of my own home. l am
the owner of real estate acquired by my
own labor. do not allow any woman to
control me in my disposal of that property
simply because she happens to be my wife.
She would have done nothing towards earn
ing that property, therefore has no moral
right in its sale. Any law giving her a
dover third is simply fraud on me, the
more SO as the law does not give me a
dover third in her property. And then
the ceremony nowadays, called marriage,
does not give me wife-it merely gives
me woman who can leave me whenever
she pleases l cannot keep her against
her wishes. She may 90 back to her
father or elsewhere; and cannot couple
her to come back; but should leave her,
for any reason, she can have me arrested
and compile me to support her. Such a
thing is one-sided and unfair. A woman
held by such loose tie is not in my oppin-
ion, wife in the holy way decent man
has shrined in his thoughts. The laws
have degraded her into concubine."

PASTERs.

We clip the following account Of the use
Of "pasters" from the Syracuse, New York
Journal: f
Among the candidates for office ut the
late California election was one who was
very anxious. On the day before election
several acquaintances suggested that he
must procure pastors.
"You can never win, old fellow, unless
you get pasters,' said they. "You need
great number, too, for everybody will
scratch in your favor"
The suggestion was pleasant; the candi-
date counted his casb capital which lay in
his right hand pantaloons pocket. After
wards he walked to printing house, and
ordered the printing Of thirty thousand
copies bearing his name
"You will have them gummed and cut,
of course" said the prin er man.
"No, think rot. I'll do that myself"
replied the candidate
obviously did the printer man look at
him, but as the cash was paid in advance,
he said nothing.
The printing was not done until after
8 o'clock, and the candidate, who had been
walking up and down the hatchway, march
ed triumphantly toward home with his
10000 pastors.
"About one half ofthem will be wasted"
thought he; "the balance added to the
straight ticket will render my election
sure"
They sat up all night "fxing" the pas
ters-the candidate and bis wife, and bis
wife's mother and his eldest daughter
The candidate spread mucilage over the
backs of the printed sheets of paper the
daughter hung them on line against the
stove to dry, and the wife and her mother
cut until their hands were stiff and swollen.
Two o'clock. three o'clock, five o'clock
came, and still they worked away, yawn-
ing at every clip of the shears. The carpet
was strewn with scraps Of paper, the table
streaked with mueilaee, and the candidate
himself was peramublating court plaster
SO gummy was he.
"My DEAR" said his wife, al huff past
five, "havent you enough? My thumb is
almost cut in two with the shears, and
grandma is quite done up"
1--WE had better keep on, my love-" re-
piled the candidate; a shall need them
ALL"
"Dear me y said she; II didn't know
there we're thirty thousand voters in the
city" n
"Of course you didn't; women are not
expected to know anything about politics.
The candidate had no sleep that night,
and at an early hour in the morning sailed
forth to distribute his thirty thousand pssl
tiers. Then be "worked" all day, spent a
good deal of money for whisky and good
deal of breath for nothing. Then he spent
another twenty four hours in seeing the
ballots distributed. In bis own precinct
where he had worked so hard, eight
hundred votes were cast, of which he
received two-one of them by means of
paster. Elsewhere his luck was similar.
On going home, he responded savagely to
the greeting of his wife, who felt sure he
had been elected, with
"My love, l circulated thirty thousand
pastors. and | got just thirty votes. If
you ever say paster to. me again, III sue
for divorce. I'm going to bed"
