forcing the Sunday liquor law is the ab-
sorbing one just now among both the
friends and opponents of the law. Last
evening there was very large gathering of

zens, declaring they would oppose it and
use all means to secure its repeal, reques-
ting the Mayor to suspend the enforcement
of the law until the organization of the new
Common Council, and pledgiDg themselves
to support no candidate for State, County
or City officers who are not known to IA
vor similar views on the subject. Speeche 5

lutiOns were made By Francis Lackner,
President of the North American Turner
band, Emil Deutcher and OtherpTOminent
Germans.

perance men in different quarters OF the city
which were addressed by Rev. Robt. Col
lier, Rev. Psrkhurst, Rev. W. A. Bartlett

mination to stand by the authorities in sus-
taiuing and executing the law ct all haz-
ards. At meeting in the north division
preliminary steps were taken to place a
temperance ticket for members of the Leg
islature in the field.

The Banner johnson scheme is to lull
the Democracy Of Tennessee into the be-
lief that our vote is large enough to divide,
and still beat Maynard with plenty to
spare. As we have said, we wish this were
true, but our knowledge of the State for
bids any such fond delasion. Maynard is
the man that Democrats have to beat, as
the returns of the election win prove. The
BGnner gIibly says "the actual Republican
vote this year viii not exceed $4,000
votes" Yet the State census Of 1871 gives
over 6l,000 negro voters, to which
we must add 25,719 votes for
Grant in 1868 in East Tennessee, which
are mainly white, besides The white Radi.
Gals of the Middle and Western Districts.
BE not deceived, Democrats. No victory
was ever won by division Ii you stand
by your nominee, all Is wei If the Demo
cratic vote be divided anything like even,
the willy Narragansett viii slip in like Rey-
nard the fox, and bear off the prize while
we wrangle.

CHEERING NEWS.

A letter just received, written by q gen.
tleman at Dyersburg, on 22d inst, says:
sour county fair has Just closed, and
have taken considerable pains to ascertain
how the vote would be in this county be-
tween the candidates for Congressman at
Large, and so near as 1 can estimate the
vote OF this county, it viii be as follows:
Cheatham, from 1,500 to 1900; johnson
from $50 to 200; Maynard, from 300 to 500.
We know Cheatham is the only man with
whom we can bsat Maynard"
well Informed gentleman writing from
Sparta, White county, 22d inst. says :
Yesterday Col. Savage made a good
speech here, and made several converts to
Cheatham. Gen. Cheatham is gaining
ground in the mountain counties, and will
carry White by to L; Overton and Clay
by to1; Smith, Jackson, Putnam and
Van Buren by 2 to 1. Having taken pains
to ascertain, do not think that can be
mistaken in this"
a correspondent, at Trenton, Gibson
county, writing 25th inst, says: "John-
sons speech a. Humboldt last Wednesday
did not Come up to our expectation, and
made him no votes. Cheatham will carry
Gibson by 1909 majority"
From Maury county We have the follow
ing under date of I'D inst: ave poll a
vote Of not generally exceeding 6,0OO, and
will not do more than that in the election
for district Congressman and President,
and the vote for Congressman at larg will
fall even behind this. The Repu olcan vote
is about $500, and they will poll 2,200 for
Maynard, who will run behind the Grant
ticket, leaving $500 Democratic votes.
johnson will get about 600 votes and
Cheatham 5000"
From one of the county officers Of Pat
nam county, writing from C0Ok9yille, we
have the following:
81 have taken some interest in the mat
ter, and think am tolerably well posted as
to the vote of our county. We will poll
about 400 votes, and out Of that number
think Cheatham will get 800, Johns d
300, and Maynard 300. 1 think have
probably put Johnson aud Maynard down
more votes than they viii get"
A gentleman writing from Hardin county
under date of I'D inst. says: ''The Demo-
Gratis in this county are uniting on Cheat
ham as the only means Of beating Maynard.
johnson will not get more than one hun
dred and fifty votes in this county. Gen.
Cheatbam Will get between seven aud eight
hundred. The Radical vote viii be given
solid TOR Maynard. The RAIDS are attempt
ing to create the impression that johnson
is strong ia East Tennessee in order to in
duce Democrats to vote for him and there
by give strength to Maynard. This trick
will not win"
From Wayne county, 23d inst, we have
a correspondent who says: "There are
very few Democrats in Wayne county who
will vote for Johnson. The vote in this
county will be divided between Cheatham
and Maynard. Disorganizers meet with
but little encouragement among the ster-
ling Democracy ef Wayne. Look for q
solid Democratic vote for Cheatham."

Second Annual Exhibition of the
West Tennessee Agricultural and
Mechanical Association.
A Great Crowd, Large Attendance,
and Splendid Display.
Various Items, Wonders, Attrac.
tiOns, etc.

OF all the agricultural ard mechanical
exhibitions your correspondent has ever at
tended, this, the second annual one OF
West Tennessee, compares most faVorably
in every respect and surpasses in many
features.
THE GREAT CROWD
attracted, since the inaugural Of this fair,
last Tuesday, from Tennessee, Kentucky
and other sections of the country, still is in
terested in the magnificent display, and
yesterday was estimated to be at least
5000 PERSONS.
Each train comes laden with visitors,
and this morning the various thoroughfares
centering at jackson presented continu-
Gus stream OF persons hurrying to
the fair.
THE FAIR GROUNDS
are conveniently located on a prominent
level Immediately beyond the beautiful
city of Jackson, which imbedded mid, yari-
tinted trees and shrubbery, presents land
scape not unlike some picturesque creation,
when made to glow in all the grace of light
and color on the finished canvass. Ar
irving at the fair grounds it seemed to me

A SUCCESS,
which is an old term it is true, yet embraces
as much as sugar hogshead and conveys
more adequately, perhaps than any other
word the attainment of human effort in all
pursuits.
THE AMPaITHEATER
was densely packed with persons, mostly
ladies, whose forms of grace and varied
costumes presented a picturesque scene daz-
zling to the eye, yet most joyous to the
feelings, not only of the old who recognized
so much of life, and youth and beauty too,
but especially to the young, whose appre-
ciation is, or at least should be more ardent
than that of those whose hair is gray and
whose brow is furrowed by the marks of
time.
THE STOCK
exhibited is very line and the number of
entries quite large. This entry both in
quality and number compares well with
that of last years fair, and shows that the
good people of this section take much in

We had barely time last week to an
nounce that the candidacy for the State
Senate in this district had been adjusted in
favor Of Col. Mich. Edwards. 1t is hardly
necessary for us to commend him as worthy
the warm and hearty support of the dis
trict. The people all know him-knew
him before aud during the war, and that all
his efforts since have been in behalf of re-
storation and peace. He has plenty of ca

A Case of snsnended animation,

SPRINGFIELD, o., Oct. 24.-A few days
since . young lady of Urbana, who had
been i'll short time, died, and the body
was prepared by sorrowing friends and at
tendants for interment and placed in the
coffin. The night before the day Of the
funeral a number of young lady watchers
were seated in a room adjoining that in
which the coffin had been placed, when,
greatly to their CONSERVATION, the figure of
the dead girl appeared before them and
spoke family. When the Mortified attend
ants had somewhat overcome their fright,
seeing that the supposed corpse was really
a thing of life, they TOOK measures to care
Tor their friend so startlingly restored to
them, almost from the very grave, and she
received proper attention, and is now, we
are told, likely to recover. This is doubt
less one of those cases of suspended ami
nation, which frequently occur, and, natur-
ally enough, create a sensation.
