ported in the Springfield Republican as fol-

for an answer: What shall we do for wo-

The prayer being finished, one member
asked the Speaker if it was right for any one
not member to debate upon its floor or
matters pending before it. The Speaker
said no. Another asked if that meant that
the chaplain could not pray as he had
mind to. The Speaker said he had merely
made decision in parliamentary law.

DEATH OF EX-GOY. WM. TROUS-
DALE.

This venerable and good man died at his
residence in Gallatin, Wednesday morning,
March q, at 3 O'Clock, at the advanced age
Of eighty-two. For many years Gov.
TrousdaIe had been the subject Of chronic
rheumatism, and for more than twelve
wears had been unable to leave his imme-
date premises. Few men have endured
such suffering, and yet we are told by those
who speak advisedly, that he was never
heard to complain. The immediate cause
of his death was something like pneumonia.
Gey. Trousdale was in many respects
remarkable man. He was of that peculiar
character and mould that it was only neces-
sary to look upon his cOuntenance to under
stand that he was person of the sternest
virtues. His very presence inspired respect
The bitterest partisan never questioned his
integrity Of purpose; and in the support of
what he believed TO be right he was
utterly insensible 10 consequences.
He was in all respects an
eminently good man, and one whose pres
ence aud example were ever felt where he
was seen and known. He belonged TO type
of men but few of whom survive him, and
who marked an era in our cOuntTy's history
as pure and distinct as their own originality.
His virtues and his life constitute part OF
the history of Tennessee. We have no
fear, therefore, that they will not be duly
recorded and reyerently respected.
Gov. Trousdsle was born in Sumner
county in 1870. His father, James Trous.
dale, was from North Carolina and had
fought in the patriots army during the rev,
olution, as captain Of a company Of Wings
Whilst Tennessee was yet a territory
Capt. Trousdale removed TO the present
site of GaIIatin, Sumner county, where he
resided till his death. Young William was
apupil ofRev. Gideon Blackburn and join
Hal, who were among the first pioneers o
education in the State. When the Greel

GENERALIZATION,

When representative Repu blican papers
like the New York EUenjng Post speak
out in denunciation of the centralising
tendency Of the Grant administration, it is
time for patriotic citizens to reflect whether
they should not cry stop" The Erening
Post quotes approvingly an extract from a
recent speech of Senator Thurman, Of Ohio,
; lin which be said:
II agree with Mr.. Carpenter in every
word he said on this subject. The central
government was gradually encrOachlng on
the powers of the States. The Department
of Agriculture began as a mere bureau for
the collection of statistics, but it grew to be
department, aud the next thing would
probably be that the head of it would be
made Cabinet officer. So, too, the Bureau
Of Education was growing into depart
ment of public instruction, and before long
We shall have minister Of public instruc-
ton, who would be member of the Cabi-
net. Unless the people put a stop to this
cpntraliZing movement it would never end
until it had absorbed every power Of the
States, and assumed the right to regulate
every industry in The country"
The Ereping Post says: During the war
we were compelled to wink at many
stretches, and even at some abuse Of pow
er; but, the moment the war closed, every
man in the nation and eUery party in the
nation ought to hare set ats face against the
,orong. Nor is it too late now to begin the
reform. We hear a great deal of new de-
partures of late; but in our opinion, the
best new departure that any body OF men
could make would be like that OF Sawney,
when he was caught crawling towards a
henroost, Back again." We must depart
from the errors into which we have wander
ed and assume our original position. The
mischiefs that have been already wrought,
and the greater mischiefs that are likely to
be wrought by the mutations of centralism
are only too obvious, and we rejoice to see
prominent men of both parties denouncing
them with honest Indignation. 1t is om
thunder, but it is at the service of all the
world"
That is a very sound Democratic argu
ment. The truth is, patriotic Republicans
are rapidly coming to the conclusion that
the Radicals in their party are allowed to g
on as they have been doing during the pas
few years, they will wipe out all rights be
longing to the States.

THE Boston Traveller, a thoroughly
sloyal" journal, publishes story which
shows that even in the Massachusetts, Leg
stature, where one would suppose that
strait-laced Puritanism would prevail, cor
ruption has entered in. That paper states
that a merchant was waited upon recently
by a person who asked him "if he was not
interested in the passage Of a certain mea-
sure before the Legislature" The mer-
chant admitted that he was. "Then l."
said the man of the lobby, "with the help of
three others, will undertake to put your
bill through for $500 in cash, with
the understanding that We are to
have as much more if we succeed"
The volunteer was assured that not one
cent would be paid to him, but thai the till
would be left to stand or fall upon its own
merits. 'Please to understand, them" re-
sponded the indignant lObbyman, "that we
shall oppose your bill. Not that we shall
be paid to fight it; but if we defeat il, you
will be before the Legislature again, and
we shall oppose you until you are willing
10 pay US our price" Such Unblushing i'm
prudence never was heard of before the war;
even in the new States, where the most
heterogeneous clements were brought to-
gether. So We progress under Radical
rule.

ASTUMP SPEECH INA PRAYER.

They have genuine Radical for Chaplain
of the Massachusetts, House of Representa-
tives, and it appears he Omits no opportun-
ity to pass to give his opinion upon the
merits of questions before that body. One
of the existing questions before the Massa-
chusetts Legislature was the proposition to
amend the Constitution of that State so as
to confer the right of suffrage on women.
This proposition was to come up in the
House of Representatives on the both inst,
and there was a rush of ladies, filling the
galleries at an early hour, who were anxious
to hear what might be said. The session
had not been opened, but the House was
soon afterwards called 10 order by the pre-

THE COMMERCE. OF THIS COUNTRY.


The Philadelphia Age calls attention to
the fact that the British commerce, in
1870, reached in value, within a fraction,
the enormous sum of a thousand millions of
dollars, and the export of foreign and colo
NAL produce to about two hundred and
twenty-five millions. The exports have
been nearly quadrupled in the course of
thirty years, or since 1910. Now for the
reverse Vi this picture. In 1870 the United
States stood first among nations to which
Great Britain exported her products. The
exports amounted in that year, British,
Irish, colonial and foreign included, to over
a hundred and tifty-five millions, Of which
more than a hundred and forty millions
were British and Irish. The country that
stands next is Germany, to which
hundred and forty millions were
exported. Then follows France,
receiving over hundred and ten millions;
British India, a hundred millions; the Meth
erlands, over eighty millions; Australia,
over fifty millions; Egypt, nearly forty-hve
millions; Turkey, more than forty millions;
Russia, over fifty millions; the British North
American Possessions, between thirty-five
and forty millions; China, over thirty mill
ions; Belgium, approaching forty-five mill
ions; Italy, exceeding thirty millions, and
Brazil, over twenty-six millions. While
British commerce increases with sure and
rapid tread, that of the United States de-
creases. Why is this? Our system must
be radically wrong, and it is the business Of
statesmen to discover the mistake and cor
rect it. We cannot afford to hug pet thec-
RES to our bosoms, and allow American
ships to become objects of curiosity in for
eign ports.

THE Washington correspondent Of the

ga story has gone ont that Gov. War
moth, of Louisiana, has made proposition
for a compromise between himself and the
President. Tins is not true. WarmOth dis
tinctly says be cannot afford to carry Grant
in Louisiana; that he is stronger without
him. Meantime Grant will attempt to Or
ganize party there, his first move being 20
give the New Orleans surveyorship to some
representative colored man, with the hope
Of alternating that element from Warmoth.
The colored delegation now here are highly
delighted. Packard and Casey have left for

He is to-day without habitation on the

THE Washington Republican, Grants


''hand organ" has this paragraph:
"The New York Citizen fa7ors the nom
ination of Hancock as the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency. I'VE must it
says, fight military fire with military fire.
All right. If the Citizen wants to fight il
over again there will, we presume, be no
objection. But why not take Robert Z.
Lee as the commander on the other side
instead of Hancock"
Paragraphs of this character are apt to
provoke comparisons not at all compliment
tary to Grant. If Gen. Lee had had such
an army as Grants. with equal resources
at his command, is there man in all this
broad land who believes that the latter
would ever have seen Richmond; nay, that
he would even have got out of the Wilder
ness, except ''on the back track"
