there WIS no town building for the

able TO provide building suitable
for all meetings of hepeople, justice

on cleo ion day move in the matter.

especially arranged for the purposes
intended But there seems to be
some opposition TO the movement by
residents in the country who claim
that the village alone would be beue-
fitted by the improvement This
ground Of opposition is too thin for
argument. The fact Is aud ought to
be known that the toi0A Of Lancas-
ter has no public building. Under
the resolution of the County Board
of Supervisors, at its last meeting,
the town is forbiddea the use of any
Of tho rooms of the court house for
any purpose, and something must
be done to provide for the want
The voting population of Lancaster
is about 500 and no room in the viii
lsge is large enough 10 scat over
half that number
We find from the town records
that the assessed valuation of all
the taxable property in Lancaster
amounts to quite 100000, and
that tho village residents pay more
than half Of the taxes of the town.
Also that within the last three years
IS, $50 has been expended in public
improvemcnt-all for bridges outside

may be asked in justice that the
voters of the town at the annual
meeting next Tuesday make some
provisions for substantial building
for town purposes. Let there be a
general turn out of our citizens and

THE WAY TO RUIN.

The people of Tennessee begin to see the
baneful effects of proscriptive legislation.
If we were to examine the proceedings of
the last Legislature, we would find that
four-ffths of its time was spent in legislat-
ing for party purposes. We had crying
evils pertaining to our financial and ma
terial interests that needed attention. We
needed better roads, free schools, immigra-
ton and better system of internal taxa
ton and legislation to encourage our in
dustrial establishments. With these sub
jects, well worthy of careful study and at
tention, before them, did our legislators
work for the public good? Look
over their legislation and see.
Business men and farmers, workingmen
and professional men, do you not all feel
that as State we are standing still if not
going backward? Do you not feel the
need of some of those strong arms and
hopeful hearts that are going in constant
stream towards the setting sun building
up the mighty West by magic? Do you
want them to cultivate your idle lands,
open your mines and relieve you of your
heavy taxes? We know you do. But we
know too, that these aids will not come to
us as long as we spend our whole time in
fighting each other proscriptively and re-
vengefully. How many weeks were spent
mapping out these Congressional Dis
tricts so as to make all Democratic {?
How much time was spent for schools or
for providing money to pay our honest
public debts? Read these pernicious SEN
timents from Senator Dubose's speech OH
the apportionment bill when before the
Senate and then say if such spirit and
policy will ever build up our State, or in
augurate better feeling among our peo-
pie? Read them and by your votes show
that you do not propose to encourage any
such party or men
Your committee spent vast amount
of labor, so forming the various
districts as to do the Radicals all
the harm, and the Democrats all
the good we could. hope, therefore, no
change will be made in the bill As q
political measure it is perfect. The COM
mittee insist that no change be made. I
am astonished at the Senator from Hay
wood, who says he is Opposed to redis-
tricting the State in the exclusive interest
of party" intend to let his people know
what sort of a Democrat he is. I intend
to publish him in the papers. intend to
expose every Democrat who votes to change
the bill. Again, I repeat that there is no con-
cealment. This bill seeks to disfrtoachiSe
the Radical party. We hare got our feet
on their necks. The Democratic party has
so decreed it; and the people can do no
wrong. The law of retaliation is right.

THE effort of the "organs" to delude
Horace Maynard's friends with the idea
that there is no chance for his election, is
amusing. After having written him up
as the strongest man to beat-as a sort of
bugaboo with which to frighteen timid
Democrats-they now find him an ele-
plant quite too formidable to control.
The figures, of the best informed politi-
clans in the State, as to Maynard's vote.
vary from 10000 to $4,000. To begin
with, there are 10000 colored voters
in the State. Heretofore fully one half of
these have not been aHO,ced to uotc. We
believe they will vote next Tuesday and
vote nearly solid for the Republican ticket.
The Republican vote of East Tennessee is
about q, 900. What the white Republican
vote of Middle and West Tennessee is, we
do not know, but it is greater to-day than
ever before. We believe the Republican
vote will be heavier on the 9Th inst, than
ever before in the State. We give
it as our opinion that Maynard's
vote will be large enough to elect
him unless some great tidal wave
sets in towards one of his opponents that
will concentrate upon that one the bulk
of the Democratic vote, an event we can

THE decision of the Supreme Court in
the Baxter libel suits is triumph of JUS
tice in which the people are deeply inter-
ested. We lose sight entirely Of the par
ties and refer.to the principle sought to be
established by the act of the Legislature
now decided to be unconstitutional. The
act provided for a severance in certain
cases of libel which placed about all the
expense,and onus for prosecuting for mali
cious libel upon.the party wronged instead
of putting the onus upon the libeler. By
that act party living in Knoxville grossly
libeled, might be dragged to Memphis to
prosecute the guilty party even though
party to the libel resided here. The act
was unjust and cruel. 1t never would
have been passed but for the desire to aid
few influential newspapers in warupon
Mr.. Baxter.
But the law even if technically within
the limits of the constitution was so out
rageous upon its face that Gov. Brown
should have promptly vetoed it. But in
stead of doing that, he chose to join in the
crusade and became a party to gigantic
wrong. We are glad the Supreme Court
has upheld justice and for the sake of all
libelers hereafter, has left them just where
cool heads and justice placed them long
since.

If the johnson organs have no better
hope of beating Maynard than through
the Republican votes he is going to lose
next Tuesday they have slim chance for
victory. By his splendid canvass against
johnson, he has made five votes for every
Republican who will fail to give him his
support next week. We can not believe
any friend of the Republican cause will
fail to support Horace Maynard now, when
his chances for victory are so good.

Persi will be appointed Minister of Pub

and Northumberland Pleteono or

The Republicans in the Cortes have
resolved to support the vote of conf
dence only on condition that the Gov
eminent declare unequivocally in favor
Of the immediate abolition Of slavery in
