KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

Keep it before the people, That, under
Democratic State Government, railroads
in Tennessee, that cost the State S16,S54,-
900, have been disposed of, some at private
sale without notice, for SO, 800, making
. q net loss to the tax payers of Sl0,653,50O.
Keep 1t before the people, That law
providing for the sale of these roads,
passed by q Democratic Legislature, pro-
vlded that State bonds of all issues should
be-taken in payment therefor.
Keep it before The people, That, for the
accommodation of parties who desired to
buy these roads at thelowest minimum val
ne, such value in many instances being as
certained by the evidence of interested per-
sons, the State tax was reduced to 20 cents
on each one hundred dollars of taxable
property, for the purpose of depreciating
the value of State bonds, and allowing the
railroad rings'' to purchase them at low
figures and grow richer at the expense
of the credit of the State.
Keep It before the people, That Demo
cratic State Leg islatures, controlled by cor
rupt lobbyists, have legislated invariably
in the interest of "rings," and that, when
the purposes of these rings have been ex.
posed, their acts have been ratified
notwithstanding such exposure.
Keep it before the people, That these
rings are again asking a further lease o
power by the election ofa Democratic Gov
erner and members of the Legislature, il
order that they may continue their schemes
for public plunder, and become rich while
the people grow poor.

Fall Fashions.

The fashion editor of the Cincinnati
Times and Chronicle tells what will he the
styles for the season;
Sacques and mantles will he largely worn
this fall. French walking sacques, COM
ing in green, blue, black, slate color, etc.,
and termed the " Broadway" will he very
fashionable. One of worsted material, in
imitation of feathers, looks very pretty, as
does also n beautiful French " "Talma,"
braided in two colors and fringes made to
match, and n light stain color trimmed
with material of the same. Velvet polo
naise, elaborately trimmed with guipure
lace, in part crocheted in bugle gimp, fit
the form neatly and to any figure will
prove becoming.
Opera wraps of various colors, of worsted
and silk, made in "Talman u shape with n
hood, will find favor in the eyes of many
young ladies, and are greatly TO be adj
mired.
Handsome seal-skin sacques, with mufls
and boas present a CHEEKY and graceful
| appearance. They range in price from $50
| to 500.
In childrens fashions the designs are
almost innumerable, and are as practical
as they are pretty. Polonaises take the
| lead both for indoor and outdoor costumes
! of girls and misses. Especially pretty for
| home dresses in soft materials is the plait-
| ed polonaise, which is a half-loose blouse
with box plaltS lald In the back ana DanuS
in front arranged to simulate them. In
the Lotta u the side forms are continued
so as to form long sashes, which are to be
| tied and the Flora - has basques, which
are continued and form sashes in the back.
But basques, which are again very fash
ionable for misses, and polonaises are al
most invariably fastened in the back.
This is much more youthful looking and
| becoming. One of the prettiest basques is
called the Florette,p and has round
ed tabs in the back and pointed vest in
| front

Special 10 the ChrOuIcle.I
CHATTANoooA, Sept. u.
Hon. Horace Maynard opened the can
vass in a great speech. He said little
about himself but acknowledged that he
was the advocate and defender of the Re
publican party. He made defence of its
principles and met the charges against it
in one of the ablest efforts of his life.
Gen Cheatham followed, speaking ten
minutes in low but distinct voice, and
with no effort at defamation. The whole
of his speech was few common place
sentences, announcing himself He pre-
sented a fine appearance, and feeling of
regret prevailed that he could say moth
ing.
Mr.. Johnson was fully at himself He
repeated his former speeches, and did it
well. He seems to concentrate his ener-
gies more particularly against the rebel
Democracy that oppose him. The Re-
publicans are fully satisfied.

Gambling I'm Enrone.

Moncure d. Conway, writing from the
French watering place Trouville, says of
the gambling: 1.-THE gambling in the
salon has at length become quite as public
as that of Homburg and Wiesbaden. At
the public table the game is ecarte. A list
of players Is made out beforehand, and
whenever one of these is defeated he rises
from the table and his place is taken by the
next on the list. \ functiOnary invites
the crowd in the room to lay their stakes,
and the bank notes are handed up freely
from every part Of the room. The. stakes
are held in view on the table. Each play
er has an appointed counsellor at his side.
The losers are not so quiet and phlegmatic
as at the German baths, but the murmurs,
complaint and 'saeres' are sufficiently loud
10 convince one that, in this public gam
bling business, this country invites q
worse affliction than would be that general
swarm of vipers which NJ. Toussenel ex-
poets some day to overTun France"

NEW MARKET, Tenn,

a
September l3, 1872.
Our usually quiet village has appeared
quite lively for few days. The monotony
has been broken by the meeting of the
"Presbytery of Union" Of the Presbyterian
Church North.
We have in our midst partalling of the
hospitality of the citizens some ten or
twelve ministers and about the same num-
ber of ruling elders. representing about
eighteen or twenty churches. Among
other delegates we noticed the arrival to-
day of Rev. p. NJ. Bartlett, of Maryville
College, Rev MGessIs. Aiken and n. Bach
man, of your city {; also Mr.. F. +. Atwell,
Ct the house Of z. Dickinson & Co. Mr..
Atwell comes as a delegate from the first
church of Knoxville. Mr.. Atwell was
once a citizen of our village and Professor
in the Holston College. We were pleased
to see him once more on our streets, his
face looking quite familiar, although we
had not seen him for well We will not
say how many years, as we learn Mr.. At
well is still "On his first legs.n

A Treasure Store House,

A New York correspondent describes the
interior workings of the United States
sub-treasury in that city. He tells that
every day the gold received at the
custom-house for duties is wheeled
to the treasury in common hand
cart. The distance is about 500 feet, and
theamount averages $500, 600. The way they
handle specie in this institution certainly
strikes a stranger as free and easy in the
extreme. The bags, containing $1,000
apiece, are tossed to and fro as though they
held gravel or brickbats, and clerks count
up $1,000, as easily and rapidly as re-
taller counts up his dimes and pennies.
The safe is n large room, say twenty feet
square and about fifteen feet high, with
tiers of iron doors about three feet in length,
ranging one above the other. These are
full of bags containing specie, and at set
times they are counted, the surveyor of the
port being present on such occasions. There
are about $50 900 of gold and green
backs in store here, and to make the safe
burglar-proof the space next to the street
is filled with musket balls, several thou
sand in number. Now, if a burglar
should get through the outside, he would
meet with this loose mass, which would
roll out upon him and sufficiently EN-
barrass his progress. The treasury con-
tains a number of experts in DETECTING base
coin. You no" Mace
