The Light Streams In.
BY RICHARD HISCHCLIFFE.

Born amid poverty crAdle6 z gloom;
Ne who are how'd with your burden II toll,
And look for your rest 70 the rost II the tomb:
Though with sore bleeding feet upon thorns You ma!
tread,
Walk the path o. life proudly the goal We may win;
Though darkness may hang like Iall overhead,
The clouds yet may break and the light may stream
in
Ye who nave dared in the warfare of life,
t. taksaides with the weak .gAinst the guilty and
strong
Cheer up never fear ye will fan in the strife,
God battles with you against error and wrong
Though ignorance, bigotry, fAsehood and crime,
Are nArshAlled against you, press forward and win
Look up to your God with a trust sublime,
Amid doubt and despair, the light streaming in
The time apAce the years onward roll,
When justice shall rule and the wrong to curse
We shall measure man by his stature OF soul,
And not BY the length or weight Of his purse
How grAndly true manhood, dpes wear ol his brow,
The Jewels millionAres wealth cannot.W win;
His bosom with love for his race all aglow,
As the light and the truth from Gods throne streAmeh

The Cleveland Rolling Mil is now using
in their works 400 tons of coal per day.
The production is 100 tons of steel. 40
tons of bar iron, 10 tons steel and iron
wire, 20 tons spikes and bolts and go to 20
tons Of pig iron.
THE experiment of employing Swedish
lAboren In Monroe county, Georgia, has
proved failure, many Of them having VIC
lated their contracts and left their employ

result.

OF late, notwithstanding large number
Of our men have been unemployed, acci-
dental death in the mines Of the Anthra-
cite Region has been of more frequent Oc-
currence than ever heretofore. Our col
umns have contained most fearful record
in this connection, in contemplating which
ones cheek naturally blanches and the
question is asked by every one who gives
the subject thought, why these deaths !
Why this terrible maimingl We have a
ventilation law, drafted by men skilled in
the practice Of mining coal, containing pro
visions that, if rigidly enforced, ought to
be an ample safeguard against most Of the
dangers OF the mine. In many instances
the law is not enforced as it ought to be.
Carelessness of its requirements il too com
mon but for the most part it il carried
out in its principal features to the best of
the ability Of the men appointed TO enforce
it. We cannot, and ought not, TO be blind
to the fact that . very large percentage Of
the accidents of the mines il due to the
recklessness of the men themselves and not
to any remissness Of the inspectors. Naked
lamps are too frequently and too carelessly
used, ''propping" is not rightly attended
tO, the caution of the Fire B0es" il too
often permitted to 60 unheeded, men are
too thoughtless Of the value of their lives,
too callous 10 danger and while this reck-
lessne@ il the natural growth of constant
association with the devils OF the coal
Dit" there Ia neither sense nor right in it..
It has been truthfully said, that "man 3
body il not given him to abuse or be
abused" The poor mans duty TO his fam
ily imperatively demands Of him that he
should look carefully to his health and safe
ty. He is the only source from whence they
can hope to derive material sustenance
The world has little compassion for the
poor mans family, and too often the Wild
owed and fatherless are permitted to 20
uncared for, hungry and cold. This is not
right, but it il the fact and because it Ia
the fact, there In no excuse for that poor
man whose heedlesaness costa him his life
and his family their means of support.
THERE in no change in toll on coal from
Maueh Chunk TO tide, a. the Lehigh Ex-
change did not alter their prices Of coal
THE coal fields Of Russia are said to be
very large, but a. yet only partially devel-
oped its superficial area is $40 square

A coRREsPoSDKSr Of the Guardian

SUPREME JUDGEsHIP.
. the Voters Of West Tennessee:

To the Voters Of West Tennessee:
The undersigned, members of the
bar, have, during the term of the
Supreme Court just closed, wit
messed the ability and industry with
which Hon. Robt. Mcfarland has
discharged the duties of a Judge OF
this Court, and regard him as pos
sessing, in an eminent degree, the
qualities required for this place
His election 10 fill the vacancy on
the Supreme Bench, Occasioned by
the resignation Of Hon. Z. a. X.
Nelson, would give satisfaction to
the bar, and TO the State, an able,
industrious and upright Judge
This much we deem 1t proper to
say in justice TO a candidate, who is
a stranger to you, and whose con-
slant employment about the public
business has necessarily deprived
him of opportunities for personal
contact with YOU:

Persecution.

MesSrs. Editors:
{ Gen. Brooks, who has been max
ing for the last three months an ac-
tive canvass for the office of Sheriff,
has excited among his friends so
much zeal and earnestness as to
leave no doubt of his election. See
ing this, and with view TO his de-
feat, some of his enemies, forgetting
that fair dealing should always be
the rule of action, have resorted to
system of petty persecution
against Gen. Brooks, which, when
brought to light and exposed, win
react, and do much towards increas-
ing his strength. c4i
Indeed, these prosecutions allud-
ed to are so unwarranted, and so
unworthy of belief as to induce ma
ny good citizens who have hereto
fore been averse to taking part in
elections to bestir themselves in the
Gems. behalf. This is natural. So
-Dchs Au4uk1lS AGH, ulOA WIN arc
governed by justice, always speak
out, especially in elections, when
ever the attempt is made to defeat a
worthy and qualified aspirant for
Office by unjust and unfair rueans.
The author of this communication
confesses that he has been so excit-
ed; he dislikes prosecutions, be it
in whatever shape it may, and while
he might, under other eircum-
stances, be content to give a silent
vote for Gen. Brooks he cannot
stand idly by and permit his friend
to be struck down without endeav-
oring to rescue him.
Therefore, let Gen. Brooks friends
throughout the county do all they
can, honorably, to secure his cleo
ton by a triumphant majority.
They will not regret it. So honora-
bic and competent a man, now that
he is being prosecuted, needs their
rallying assistance.

any departure from his duty. In
his official transactions he was al
ways kind and obliging, and it was
his highest aim to perform his Off
cial duties without injury to any
one. For these reasons, when he re-
tired from Office nearly every one, if
not the whole people, regretted that
under the constitution he was non
eligible to reelection. In these
views l am sustained by all the citi-
Eens Of the county with whom he
had business relations as an officer,
and by his well known reputation
among the people as the best Sheriff
the county ever had.
Gen. Brooks, in view of these
facts, has the good viii of the peo-
pie, and in the present race this Is
too well known to admit of any
other conclusion than that he is the
strongest man to defeat the Radical
candidate. CITIZEN.

sherifr,s Election.

Messrs. Editors: @
The election for Sheriff is, as it
should, exciting high degree ofin-
terest among the voters of the coun-
ty. The writer, while he has moth
ing to say against Gen. Brooks OPP
ponents, unhesitatingly declares
himself in his favor because of his
great worth and eminent qualities
lions for the office of Sheriff of Mad
isOn county.
The signs of the times unmistaka-
bly, indicate his election by a hand
some majority. This result, despite
the efforts of his enemies to the con-
trary, viii be brought about by the
well known fact that his three terms
of office as former Sheriff of Madi-
son county gave him the reputation
of being the best Sheriff West Ten
nessee ever had. As Sheriff he gave
universal satisfaction in the perfor-
nance of official functions, and in
his dealings with the people col
Ieeted larger amount of money
than was ever before collected by
any one officer; and this was done
without resorting to oppression or
extreme measures, or departure
from official obligations. He gave
parties against whom ne had execu-
tions or other evidence of debt.
every facility to pay the same with
out resorting to extreme measures:
and while these favors were shown.

average yield of wheat in Maury
county is from eighteen to twenty
bushels per acre. 1t re cords the

The Lebanon Herald records a
rare occurrence in Wilson county
that of a mare which dropped colt
in January last, and another a few

An old negro man, named Brice

ago, with both jaws crushed in, his
skull broken, and divers and sun

his body, indicating that he had
been murdered.

Again 10 the voters OF Madison
County.

1 deeply regret the necessity of
saying one word more to you thro'
the press in reference to my sur
roundings and canvass.
But from the consideration that
my friend and brother aspirant to
the same Office, J. G. Sharp, has cir
culated report that in consequence
of my providential hindrances from
canvassing the county closely, as
others have done, thatth probabili-
ties were that 1 would withdraw
from the race, and as the time is so
short, L know of no other means of
meeting said rumor and removing
said false impression, save through
the press.
l would simply say as an honest
man, that these assumed probabili-
ties by my friend and brother are
unfounded and unauthorized by me,
and as to his motives in circulating
said report, leave it to the Judge
ment of the voters, of Madison
county.
The people of Madison county are
an intelligent and enlightened peo-
pie, and viii do right, and 1 have
presented my excuses to them thro'
the press. They were altogether
proVidential, over which had no
control, nor do believe the people
and voters of Madison county viii
think the less of me in consequence
of my necessary care in nursing my
aged and dying father for three
months, thereby preventing me
from seeing the people at their
homes and elsewhere. But on the
other hand Ibelieve they viii, and
do approve my course. am not
stranger in Madison county. 1t is
true have not drank and sought
to drink at the fount ofpublic Of

years and upwards.
Yet 1 seek and ask for no I'M
just advantage of any man. l am
at the disposal of the good people
of Madison county, asking to be
made Tax Collector for the next
term of Office upon principles of
honor alone, upon my own merits.

NORTH CAROLINA,

On Thursday next, August 1st,
the election takes place in North
Carolina, and being the first election
since the two parties have made
their nominations for President and
Vice President, both parties natur-

result. On the part of Grant he has
sent Wilson, his colleague on the
ticket, and two of his cabinet off,
GERS, Boutwell, and Delano, to stump
the State; and money, like water,
has been poured in there by them,
to influence the result. II money
