show her people to be in full sympathy
with the rising tide of patriotism that is
sweeping into power, for another four
years, Republican President and Con-
gress. Mr. Maynard, in his speeches, has
alone been conciliatory and practical.
While johnson and Cheatham have LASH
ed their partisans into frenzy of hate
and rage, Maynard has fairly and honora-
bly, discussed the iss ues of the canvass,
and everywhere gratified his friends and
COMPOUNDED his enemies, by sincere and
earnest appeals for better political feel
ing in Tennessee. This is a fact worth
considering. The men who are raking up
the dead of the war are Johnson and
Cheatham and their friends. Maynard's
election, therefore, would be better guar
antee of more rational and sensible era
in our future political canvasses than the
election of either of his competitors.
What we have said of Mr.. Maynard is
applicable to the case of Col. Thornburgh.
Caldwell was nominated, and is relying
for his election on his rebel record
Thornburgh asks for the support of the
people, because he has been a faithful, i'm
partial officer, who could serve them to
advantage in Washington. He is not the
nominee of convention, but is the candi-
date of the workingmen-thep people. He
does not rake up war issues and bad pas
sions to enlist support. He relies Oh his
merits and on his ability to serve his con-
stituents. A vote for him is tribute to a
faithful public servant and q rebuke to the
agitators, rings and politicians, who rely
OH prejudice and passion for their support.

The great work of legislation in Con-
gress is done in the committee room.
Members take position on committees ac-
cording to their experience in legislation
and their ability. An old member always
stands high Oh the leading committees,
and by reason of that position and of his
familiarity with parliamentary rules, has
influence in framing laws and securing
for his constituents such aid as their merits
demand. No man in Tennessee could
have such an influence in the next Con-
gress as Horace Maynard We do not de-
ny Mr.. JohnsOns ability or experience,
but every sensible man knows that
by disposition and policy he is
aggressive and turbulent He would
not be content to serve i'll Congress
as most men would. He has "my policyn
and his record to defend. He would be as
much disturbing element in Congress as
the Dunningtons, and HAIRLESS are in the
Tennessee canvass. If Tennessee wants to
send growing old bear to Washington i;
if she wants to make "Rome howP' by be-
ing represented by man whose only aim
will be to foment trouble let her send john
son. But if she wants to show that the
professional politicians who are now STIR

do not represent her voters, let her repudi-

THE ATLANTA DUEL,

Two men in Atlanta had a Quarral re-
Gently about young lady. They were
young men-gentlemen, as the term is
sometimes applied. They were respecta-
bly, connected and entertained the silly pre-
vailing notion of chivalry." Mr.. Force
caned a Mr.. Haskell for an alleged insult
to his lady friend. The latter sent a chal-
lenge which the former refused on the
ground that Haskell was not a gentleman.
A Mr.. Townsend, aspiring to distinction
in chivalric circles intimated that it would
afford him pleasure to act for his prin-
cipal. A duel was the result with double
barreled shot guns loaded with eight buck
shot.
The duel was fought in open daylight
within the city limits. One Of the parties
was shot in the left arm and side and will
probably die. At best, he will be Grip
pie for life, The alleged insult was i'll a
Mr.. Haskell pinching the arm of lady at
a church fair 1t was done ia humor as is
claimed, with no intention to insult the
lady. An ample apology was offered.
The death of the young man and deep
affiiction upon worthy parents is the re-
suit of the tragedy. The affair was brutal
and cowardly, and the community that
calls it "chivalric" is far on the road to
barbarism, as the the Louisville Courier
Journal well says on this practice;
1t is beastly custom altogether, which hap
PLY is more honored in the bre ach than the OBJ
servance in sections or countries having the best
claims to higher civilization, and in the breach
marks one of the most shining miestones in
the highroad toward civilization. The legal
authorities of Georgia should proceed in this
matter as in an attempted murder. and should
push the prosecution vigorously. There needs
a startling example to be made somewhere.
