AN EXPLANATION.

We learn that some of the friends of
Gen. Cheatbam have complained at the
terms In which we expressed our opposition
to his nomination as the candidate of the
Democracy for Governor. We desire to
state that our opposition was not upon per-
sond grounds, for there is no man In the
State for whom We entertain higher
personal esteem. It was based upon
our regard for The well established
usage and rules of the party, both
before and since the war. We did not
charge him with being disorganizer, but
50 spoke as to relieve him from any such
imputation; nor did we charge him with
making any personal attacks upon the adj
minisiration of Gov. Brown.
In relation to political disabilities, we
are informed that Under the decision of the
Federal Court In the Holman case, Gen.
Cbeatbam does not consider himself under
political disabilities.
p. S.-Since the above was in type We
have received the Mckenzie Times of yes
terday, filled, brimful, with malice toward
and unmitigated misrepresentation Of Gov.
Brown and the UNION AND AMERICAN.
1t falsely attributes to MS language relative
to Gen. Bate which we never used and for
which it has no excuse. 1t calls upon us to
prove our assertions relative to former
party usage. We repeat what we then
said upon that subject, and call upon the
Times TO point to a single instance where
that usage has been violated. When it as
serts that the UNION AND AMERICAN is
''the organ" of any man, It asserts that
which is utterly false. The UNION AND
AMERICAN is the advocate of the princi-
pies of the Democratic party and of its
rules and usages, and viii defend them
against all assailants.

TN 4 ELfp IL XfxCEf asENT VEATs
Ali who have made study Of govern
ment know that there ere many difsenltles
ab0nt ths democratic form, and that much
may be urged IN favor Of the monaFebI6g
system. Butthe one funanswerable afRu-
nent in favor Of popular rule, Is the COM
parative ease with which abuses can be
remedied and evils removed. This is the
glory oE our American system. The psas
pie may make mistakes, but the people can
correct them as soon as their mischief b.
comes apparent. As aIlpower arises from the
people, so must all reform arise from thepeo-
pie. 1t must begin with the people, with
Individuals, communities, districts, coun4
ties, States. In this graduation
must the power of the people be
first felt. Washington is but
The sggregation Of the nation, and there
can bsnoreform there except IN consequence
Of local and State reform. The men that
fancy the possibility Of a political coup
fetat, inaugurating reform at Washington
and thence permeating the nation" are
none the less Centralists, if they imagine
they can use Centralism for good purposes
as well as bad. But all experience Is
against their bright Utopian hopes, and
they are atwar with the spirit Of our insti-
buttons. Christian charity begins at horHe;
true reform must begin at home.
If each community, each State,
looks to its own welfare, all win soon be
well with the country. -Inzour internal
affairs, Tennesseeans enjoy all the local lib
critics they inherited from their fathers.
Let each State do likewise, and we have no
fear for the future Of American institutions.
The political eharlatans who imagine that
Tennessee must go backward, in order to
help the nation .foT7OGrd, are not true re-
formers. They are but Missionaries, whose
dreams Of mighty lmpossiblities cause
them TO neglect or despise the plain home
duties Of common station.

Boston Cash Girls.

Notwithstanding the boast of the Hub
in regard to the superior educational,
advantages afforded in that city to the
youth, it appears that the little cash girls
Of Boston, according to the Bureau of
Statistics of Massachusetts, have a hard
time of it, and they receive email pay
for the mental service. In the large
stores in Boston, for instance, those
cash or GRAND girls haven't five min
utes leisure at n time. In fancy goods
stores they are sometimes placed at .
counter where small wares are tor sale.
1t is the practice among these shop
keepers to deduct from the pay of these
girls the price of any article which they
may break, and the result is that when
Saturday night comes the poor things
have hardly AIRY money to carry home.
The articles generally are fragile in their
get up, ana are susceptible of being
broken by almost winking ut them. In
ono particular instance the mother of
one Of the children applied to the keeper
OF shop for relief, but he said it was
the custom, although the child had sue
ceeded in selling the injured articles at
. full price, the shop keeper thus de-
frauding the girl and getting . larger
amount than he would have otherwise
obtained for the toy.
These cash girls are paid from 81 SO
70 500 per week for running their little
legs almost of in response TO the frantic
cry Of cash. Id this connection the
Commissioners say they found large
