TENNESSEE.

A liberal Republican President OF
the United States does not mean q
liberal Repu bIican Governor of Ten
nessee or any other Democratic
State There are, we suppose, in
this State from one thousand to five
thousand Liberal Republicans. We
know OF no usage among politicians
that would concede 10 this small
force the first Office in the State.
The reasons for opposition to Grant
on the part of Republicans do not
apply TO Tennessee. There is no
military ring here, no corruption
and no maladministration Besides
no man can with reason claim that
one hundred thousand Democrats
who are as good by nature and prac-
tice as men generally are, should de-
libeTately hand over the power they
hold to a few thousand Republicans,
ana thus place upon themselves an
implied stigma. The Liberal move
ment is national, federal, not State.
We do not believe that there is in
Tennessee a Republican who would
ask such a sacrifice, nor do we
believe that there is one claiming TO
be Liberal who would cOmplicate
matters by becoming a candidate
for Governor. We have heretofore
suggested that il a candidate is
brought out before the national
struggle takes final shape, we may
encounter two Democratic candi-
dates for Governor, ono supporting
the Cincinnati nominee and the 9TH
er supporting a regular Democratic
candidate. This is barely, however
possibility. We do not suppose
any difficulty would result from
such an anomaly as the Democracy
Of Tennessee supporting at the same
| time a democratic candidate for
Governor, Democratic candidates
| for Congress, and Democratic can
didates for all State officers, while
they supported the Presidential
/ electors brought out by the Liberal
Republicans. There is only one mo-
| tive that induces Democrats to IA
Yor the Liberal movement. 1t is
| not to form s. new party nor to aban-
don an old one. IL is only to drive
Grant and his corrupt administra-
tion from power. And this is the
motive OF Republican Liberals
They abate nothing of what they
style the principles of the Republi-
can party. The Democrats will
abate nothing of Democratic princi-
pies by assisting TO accomplish the
great end. We cannot be induced
to believe that in a State so tremen-
dOusly Democratic as Tennessee is,
the few Liberal Republicans will be
guilty of such nonsense as bringing
out a candidate for Governor

1t is not acts which blackeu the
soul; il is not conduct which des-
troys. These are but the holes
which the worms, bred in the very
fiber of the wood, have eaten
These are but the fruit and visible
witness of a disease which holds the
entire body in its power, making
the veins its channels, every drop
OF blood its servant, every pulsatiOn
of the heart its slave. Tho thoughts
DESTROY. The imagination puts the
knifu's edge TO the jugular vein OF
virtue, and lets the precious cur
rent out. You cannot reform a
drunkard unless you first reform his
mind. What needs TO be done is 10
have the craving for stimulants ta-
ken out of him. Over against his
iAordinate desire you must raise up
some stronger repulsiOn, which
shall be more than match for bis
appetite for liquor. This is the
true philosophy in every branch OF
morals. You must change the man
himself if you would change his
habits. There is no life so hard as
religion-life TO man without reli-
gion.

THE DIn OLD FOREST.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall
Is one Of a dim old forest
That seemeth the best Of all.
Not for its gnarpd oaks olden,
Dark with the misletoe;
Not for the Yielets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lfilies
That lean from tine fragrant hedge,
COqustting all day with the sunbeans,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the plnks, nor the pale, sweet COW
slip,
1t seemeth to me the best.
1 once bad a little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep;
In the lap OF that dim old forest
He listh in peace asleep.
Light as the down OF thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We royed there mid beautiful summers
The summers Of long ago.
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And, one of the autumn ewes,
made for my little brother
A bed of yellow leaves.
sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face.
And, when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates Of light.
Therefore, Of all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
That one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.

sewing Machines.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
says; that the sewing-machine man
ufacturers have all m ade fortunes -
some of them immense fortunes -
and can well afford to lose their pat
ent rights as they expire by limita-
ton. Machines which cost them
twenty-five dollars each are sold fol-
from sixtyfve TO a hundred dollars
aud Congress should not authorize
them TO make this large profit off oi
the poor sewing-women any longer
When their patents expire cOmpeti
ton in the manufacture of the ma
chimes will bring them within tht
reach of many worthy woman who
is now compelled 10 support heI
family with the needle.

The Accepted Time.

Childhood is the mothers ''accep-
ted time'' to teach her children
Her duty is with them and to them,
and should not be shirked or avoid
ed. Day by day the children are
growing and expanding: and If the
food they crave is not given them
by the mother, they will get it else
where and will soon be away from
her influence. ChildhOOd's days, if
they have been spent thus profita-
blv, in time to come, will be to them
as a well of living water, from
which they will drink deep and be
refreshed, though now it may al
most seem like water poured on the
ground, they. seem SO needless OF
YOUR advice and admonitions- How
can they appear but indifferent ?
They know not the value of heI
teachings, they cannot know now
but the mother knows, and cannot
escape guilt if she does not fortify
them against coming responsibility
and care by words of wisdom thai
| in due time will ripen into COLDER
sheaves, whether she lives to see i
| or not

Ulysses on n spree.

Is it not a sad thing that the fol-
lowing lines may be written and
published about President of the
United States, and under such cir
cumstances that the mass ofthe peO-
pie who read them, friend or foe,
are forced to believe them true.
We copy from Washington let
ter of the 10th to the St. Louis
Times:
HERE WE ARE MR.. AERRYMAN.
Incidentally | mentioned that Mr..
President Grant was very sick
! that's what the administration pa
pers said, but every one understands
what Grants sicknesses are. 1t re-
ally was not the deIirium tremens,
| but it really was not very different.
| When the madam was at home he
was maintained in very respectable
conditions; at least so far as the pub
lie knew. But she's away now, you
know, and he's taking every advan-
tage of it. The only time he has
been out the whole week was when
he went to the circus. His brother
in-laW Casey, OfNew Orleans, was
at the White House early in the
evening. They had both been drink
ing. and G rant insisted upon going
to the Circus. All of Casey's argu-
ment to the contrary were in vain
the President insisted, and arm in
arm the two started out. They at
tracted attention all along, as they
walked to the show, but their con-
ditiOn shortly after arrival there
was positively beastly. If any one
than the President of the United
States had appeared thus drunken
in a place of public entertainment
he weuld have been thrown out anC
handed over to the police. Gran'i
face is bloated and red, and the
White House these days is famous
for its orgies. j. ii. l..

The CONSUMER, whether he be a
day laborer, a manufactures or a
merchant, must bear the burden of
the total tax levied upon the articles
he consumes during the entire pro-
gress of their transfer from one ow-
ner to another in the raw state, as
well as in the process of manufac-
ture. Hence il is plain that the
consumers, whether rich or poor,
black or white, are deeply interes-
ted in the reduction of taxation, by
whatever method it may be levied

seriously entertained of Olding a
State Democratic Convention at an

only hope of harmonizing the differ
