Two families from this county re-
Gently went to Bailey's Springs, Ala,
one from Bear Creek, and the other
from Knob Creek. Capt. JIM L.
gives, as a result of the recent change
of schedule, that a train on the
Memphis and Charleston r. R., be-
tween Decatur and Tuscumbia, stop
ped along the road long enough to
let all hands go out and pick black
berries. Mr., T., ofKnob Creek, says
the Conductor of the Florence and
Tuscumbia r. r., stopped his train,
long enough to go into an oatfield,
and set his bird dogs upon a covey
Of cartridges which happened to fly
up. The passengers had to wait
about half an hour, but they were
too much amused at the novelty and
cool audacity of the proceeding, to
get angry.

The new postal code provides fol
the issuance of postal cards with one
cent stamps impressed upon each
Upon these cards may be written
any message, business letter or notice
or anything that the writer docs not
object to being seen by postal clerks
and letter carriers, which under the
present system would cost three cents
This will of course have a tendency
to divide epistolary correspondence
into two classes. Those who desire
10 convey confidential or amatory
news will, OF course, prefer to pay
three cents and have it closed against
the inspection of others. Those
who desire to communicate fact:
that cannot be of any interest to 9th.
CTS, will use the postal cards. This
step is one in the direction of ono
cent postal system, which will IL
doubt finally be adopted. The ad-
vantages of a cheaper postal system
cannot be estimated. The cards viii
be issued in a few weeks.

GEN. W. b. BATE, in declining q
recent call made upon him to run for
Congress for the State at Large,
makes use of the following words of
wisdom:
Although thus relieved, l am stiH
averse to asking for office, and
while l am not insensible to the
honors of the position-nor would
be reluctant under proper circum-
stances to be the Representative OF
Tennessee-yet you will permit me
to say to you, as my friends, L feel
that If there was less office-seeking
and more seIf-sacrifice shown in our
party, we would be more united and
less liable to those discussions which
usually affiict and weaken large ma
iOrities.

SENATOR WILSON, candidate fol
Vice President, is now realizing
what horrible thing bad political
record is, if a mans aspirations in
duce him to become candidate fol
office. His Know Nothing record
will make almost the entire foreign
voting population of the country &C
against him. A Boston paper tina
advocates his election, admits tha
WILSON ran with the two opposing
parties, in a great Know Nothing
race and thus acted the hypocrit'
with friend and foe. 1t is said to b.
his custom to betray everybody b
becomes intimate with; and that {
hypocritical smile is ever playing
over his leather-colored countenance
Altogether, he is the weakest can
didate for Vice President the Radi
Gals could have nut forth.

The Memphis Appeal.

This staunch and time-honored
journal deservedly occupies the front
rank of the press of the South. 1t il
conducted with consummate ability.
and is, in all respects, a first-clasf
newspaper, fully up with the pro-
gress of the times and the advance in
journalism. One number of this
mammoth daily contains more labor
and gives greater evidences of work,
than half-dozen issues of the daily
papers who usurp the field of jour
nalism at the capitol of our State. In
addition, the reader can derive more
information and of a reliable charsc-
ter, from the Appeal than from
any daily published at Nashville.
In politics it is sound, national and
eminently conservative. The edito-
rial department is under the control
of Col. M. G. GALLAwAY, the Stone
wall of the Southern press, Col. l..
J. DUPRE, one of the ablest and
most spirited and versatile writers
connected with the American press,
and Col. J. NJ. HEATING, an able and
experienced journalist. With all, il
is reliable commercial paper, and
keeps the farmer fully advised as to
Aemarket price of his products.

ly out and acknowledges that the
masses of the party are almost unan-
imously opposed to the nomination
of straight Democratic ticket, and
plai ally says that its course will be
controlled by the decision Of said
Convention. HORACE GREELEY may
rest contented that he will receive
the votes of almost the entire De-
mocracy of the nation, and hence
forth he should only look to the Re-
publicans, and see that he gets enough
from that quarter to make. the Demo

The great two and half mile race
between LongfellOw and Harry Bas-
sett, came Off at Long Branch last
Tuesday, Longfellow beating his op-
ponent more than twelve lengths.
Although Bassett was the favorIte,
and odds were bet in his favor, this
race caused more talk and created
more enthusiasm among sports than
any race on record. We believe
Longfellow was the favorite in this
vicinity, notwithstanding the fact
that Bassett's ancestors all went
from this county. His grand dam
Pamela" was foaled on the farm of
the late Gen. LUCIUs j. Polk, of Ash
wood. His great grandsire, "Air-
derley," imported, was also owned
by Gen. Polk. His dam, Canary
Bird" was by "Albion," formerly
owned by Col. G. w. Polk, of this
county, and died the property of Col.
ELLIOTT, of Sumner county.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1872-07-05

from ruler or subject or from subject
to ruler, the gift is equally perni-
cious. An ancient patriot feared
"tke Greeks bearing gifts" and these
words have become . proverb, but
there are. Greeks bearing gifts else
where than at Troy. A public man
can traffic with such only at his peril.
At their appearance the prayer
should, be said, LEAD us not into
temptation.
"The Constitution testifies against
the taking of gifts by officers Of the
United States, when it provides that
no person holding any Office of pro.
fit or trust under them shall, without
the con sent of the Congress-, accept
of any present or emOlument, from
any king, prince. or foreign State.
The acceptance of present or emol-
ument from our own critizeIs was
left without constitutional inhibi-
ton, to be constrained by the public
conscience and the just aversion to
any semblance of bargain and sale or
bribery in the public service.
"The case of our President is ex-
ceptional. VIGOROUSLY he has taken
gifts while in the public service, some
at least after he had been elected
President, until "the Galena tanner
of few hundred dollars year," to
borrow the words of my colleague,
IMr. Wilson, one of his supporters,
is now rich in houses, lands, and
stock, above his salary, being proba-
bly, the richest President since
George Washington. Notoriously he
has appointed to his Cabinet several
among these "Greeks bearing gifts"
without seeming to see the indeco-
rum, if not the indecency of the
transaction. At least two if not
three of these Greeks. having no
known position in the Republican
party or influence in the country,
have been selected as his counselors
in national affairs, and heads of great
departments of Government. Again
do repeat the words of our Scrip
lures, "a gift doth blind the eyes Of
the WISE" Again, the words of
George Washington, eff I accepted
this should 1 not henceforward be
considered dependent."
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1872-07-05

Mr.. SUMNER stated in his speech,
delivered in the Senate May 31st
that the President had appointed
forty-two of his relations to official
positions. His philippe on that
occasion against nepotism and gift.
taking is exhaustive and very severe
After the disposing of the former in
lengthy disquisition, he refers to
the latter in the following piquan!
style:
"From one typical abuse 1 pass to
another. From dropsical nepotism
swollen to elephantiasis, which no.
body can defend, pass to gift-taking,
which with our President has as
snmed an unprecedented form.
Sometimes public men even in our
country have taken gifts, but it is not
known that any Presid mt before has
repaid the patron with office. For
public man TO take gifts is repre-
hcnsihle for a President to select
Cabinet councillors and other officers
among those from whom he has
tsken gifts is anomaly in republican
annals. Observe, sir, that speak of
it gently, unwilling to exhibit the
indignation which such presiden-
tial pretension is calculated to
arouse. The country will judge it,
and blot il out as an example.
There have been throughout his
tory corrupt characters in Official
station, but, whether in ancient or
modern times, the testimony is con-
slant against the taking of gifts, and
nowhere with more force than in our
Scriptures, where it is SAID, Thou
shalt not wrest judgment, thou shalt
not repect persons, neither take q
gift; for gift doth blind the eyes OF
the WISE deuteronomy, XVI, 49,
Here is the inhibition and also the
reason, which slight observation
shows to be true. Does not a gift
blind the eyes ofthe wise? ?"
"Whlt is done under the influence
of gift is mercenary; but whether

THE New York Herald protests
against the introduction of person
a!ities into a political campaign. AS
for the Cincinnati nominee, it says:
"HoRACE GREELEY is true type of
American life-a self-made, honest
hearted, energetic man, having his
pecuIiarties and eccentric notions,
but all the more American on that
account. If he wears cowhide boots,
destitute of polish, they have car
ried him bravely through an honora-
bic career marked out by enterprise
and ending in success. If his coat
hangs loosely on his shoulders and
drags at his heel, it buttons over a
heart that is proud of the land of his
birth and full of kindly feelings for
his fellow-men. If his old white hat
lacks tho fashionable curve in the
brim, and looks like venerable and
not we'll preserved family relic, it
covers a brain full of genius, ever
ready to labor in the cause of free

Just, ccurred in New York. Some
cf lie laborers struck for the eight
hour system without reduction O
wages. Nothing is more foolisl

petty tyranny, if carried out, would
only make matters worse for them

his Lire, and he can always get it in
this country, where laborers arc
scarcer than labor; but whenever
they attempt to dictate terms to cap
italists, and bring ruin upon the in
dustries of the country, they will
fail, and they ought TO fail. A good
deal is said of the tyranny of CAPT
tai, but nothing is ever mentioned
of the great tyranny of igno-
rance, which, when it has the power,
is even less reasonable, and more ex-
acting and tyranhical.
