Commenced Already.

We are informed by Noble Smith
son, Esq, Senator elect from this
district, that he is continually re
ceiving letters by the dozen from ap-
plicants for position in the Senate.
Some Of them are very rare, each,
however, setting forth his particular
claims to the position to which he
aspires. They all have poor fami-
lies, entirely dependent upon them,
and this is a dernisr resort. Sons of
widows, fathers of orphans and bro
theirs of pauper sisters make up the
catalogue Of aspirants. Judges,
lawyers, ex Senators, potentates and
powers lend their recommendations.
The talent of each man is unques-
tionabIe, his merits superior, his
morals and honor unimpeachable,
he is recommended by the best men
of the country, and he likes but one
thing of being certain of the posi-
ton, and that is this particular vote,
and if the honorable Senator elect
will kindly favor his claims he will
place his humble servant under OBJ
legations that he will strive to re-
quite by a faithful performance OF
the duties Of the office. Sich is life
one day a dream Of fortune, fame
and power, the next his hopes dash
ed to the ground. One man can
vote for everybody.

and their carcasses strew the coun-

came dissatisfied and rebelled
against the powers that be. They
held a ratification meeting, which
broke up in a general row, and af
ter the killing of large number Of
insurgents the rebellion was sup
pressed. Peace now reigns among
them and unless an Andy johnson
arises in their midst there will be
no more difficulties.

The Credit System.

We hear complaints every day
from our merchants that they can
not collect the money that is owing
to them for goods. This is a great
evil in this as well as all communities,
and should be corrected by some
means. A few facts in this partic-
ular will doubtless enlighten some
and will perhaps induce those who
have had credit extended to them
to be more prompt in paying. Mer
chants buy their goods from for
eign manufacturers and dealers
for the cash as a general rule,
but when they do get credit it is
only for thirty, sixty or ninety days
at the farthest. They bring the
same goods here and sell them to
consumers at a small advance on
cost on a credit and take the mans
promise to pay in one, two or three
months. If this was carried out ac-
cording to contract it would work
very well, but right here the trouble
comes in. The merchant does his
buying by order, makes a contract
aud collections are made mostly
through the banks, and in order to
preserve his credit he must meet his
contract to the letter, AID this, in
fact, he has to do. Now, he sells
them upon the same terms and ex-
poets TO collect in time to meet the
demands of his creditors, but the
promises of those who have been
the recipients of all the good that
arises from this credit system dis
appoint HIM and he is reduced of
tentimes to desperate straits to OBJ
tain money to liquidate his liabili-
ties. The consumer is prominent
" the party benefited by this sys-
TEN, for if the merchant was not
obliged to sell on credit he would
not have to ask it, and it is their du-
ty, as well as to their interest, to
meet promptly the bills they have
made. Merchants for the most part
do a business that exceeds the cap
ital they have invested two or three
times, and they are compelled to
make close collections or the result
will be fatal. This is obvious and
should be thought of by those ask
ing credit.
There is but one remedy for these
evils and that is the adoption of the
cash system. This would not only
be a benefit to the merchant but to
the consumer, for it is an evident
fact that goods can be sold cheaper
for cash than they can on credit and
the merchant could buy cheaper and
of course sell cheaper. 1t would
likewise remove the cause of great
many misunderstanding and law
suits, and would prove no less ben
eficial to society and TO the country
than to individuals. Some Of the
Pulaski merchants have expressed
themselves as determined to adopt a
cash system with the beginning OF
another year, and we earnestly hope
our people viii reflect upon the facts
here briefly stated and not think
hard OF them when they are refused
credit. We hope the time viii come
soon when all business will be re
duced to a cash basis, and then we
can strike the word bankrupt"
from our catalogue of everyday
phrases, and prosperity will take the
place of retrogression. Every sen
sible man must consider the man
who inaugurates this system in Pu-
laski a public benefactor and pat
ronize him to such an extent that
others may be compelled to follow
in his footsteps.

About 100 Horses on the siek List.

The dread horse disease which has
ravaged the Northern cities md
towns has made it's appearance in
Pulaski and about 100 horses are af-
fected with it. Dir. Jackson's hors-
es are all sick, though none of them
have died. The disease is of rather
a mild form and we have heard of
but two or three cases proving fatal.
Reports from the North indicate that
the disease easily succumbs to pro-
per treatment, but the danger is that
horses are too early considered re-
covered and are worked too soon.
thus producing q relapse which
proves more fatal than the original
disease. The relapse assumes the
form OF lung fever and CHAMBERS
We would warn our people not to
commence working their horses too
soon after they appear to be we'll
We give in another place a graphic
history Of the disease and modes Of
treatment.

I OAA5 man aEElFCu IN EEiaSk
last Tuesday morning on the 1850
train and put up at the Tennessee
House, registering his name as A. G.
Ewing, Nashville. He called for
breakfast and Immediately thereaf-
ter went out to The nearest saloon
and took three or four drinks of
whisky, thence going to j. L. Pear
cey's drug store and procuring three
fourths of a pound of chloroform.
He came back to the hotel and cal.
led for a room, saying that he was
tired and sleepy and wished to take
nap. He was shown to a room,
into which he went, locking the
door after him. He did not make
his appearance at dinner, and moth
ing strange was thought Of it, as he
was supposed to be still asleep
Nothing more was thought of him
until after supper, when Mr.. Jack
son, the proprietor, thought proper
to awake him and accordingly sent
up to have it done. The clerk came
back and said that he could not
wake him and could not effect an
entrance into the room. Mr.. Jack
son then went up and bursted the
door open and found him lying in
the bed dead from the effects of
chloroform he had administered to
himself. The suicide seems to have
been premeditated and determined.
as every precaEtion was taken that
the chloroform should perform it's
work. He had placed his overcoat
against the door to exclude the air
which might enter under it and had /
stuffed his handkerchief into the |
key hole. He then lay down upon
the bed and covered himself up well, |
and taking the slips from three pill
lows that were in the room, folded /
them nicely and saturated them
with chloroform, laying them upon
his face, and then placed over his
head an inverted sh-bowl, thus
retaining all the fumes of
the deadly liquid. A jury ofinquest
was Immediately empannelled by
Esq. W. II. Alternately, acting Coro
ner, who returned a verdict that the
deceased came to his death by his
own hand, maturely and deliberate
". Upon his person was found nine
dollars and fifty FIVE cents, and a
note saying that he committed the
act deliberately, that life was misera-
bic and suicide justifiable in his case.
The deceased was the son of Randall
Ewing, decd, and formerly lived
On Whites Greek, Davidson county.
He was about thirty years of age, Il
and had about his person tools and
material Indicating that he was a
clock member. He was a member
Of a cavalry company from Marshall
county in the Confederate army and
vas wounded at Fort Pillow during
Forests raid upon that place, the
wound necessitating the amputation
If the right leg just above the ankle.
He was also wounded in several +
places during a personal rencounter {
With two or three men in Texas, two ]
# whom he killed, and IS said to {
ave suffered the most excruciating
,ain constantly. His family was I
lot related to that of Mai. Hu. f. /

Tor to Hon. Randall Ewing of Frank {
