DEMOCRATIC PARTY
The A. and G. Railroad.

The Chattanooga 1baieS of yesterday
states that the regular mail and passenger
trains on this road have commenced run
ming, and strong force of laborers will
at once proceed with the work of repair
ing the track. The citizens of Dade cOun-
ty, Georgia, are indignant, and character
ize the arrest of the Sheriff and posse of
that county by the U. S. Marshal anu
deputies as the act of mob. guL
The Times states that there are FIVE hun
dred men in Dade who were bound to en-
force the orders of Gov. Smith and hold
possession of the road. They informed
us that the Sheriff, acting under orders
from Gov. Smith, had made half dozen
deputies, who would act, one at a time,
summoning the force of the county, and
would stop every train that entered the
county, unless they were driven off by
force, declaring that the trains can not be
run until their claims and that of the
State are paid. 1t is feared that the peo-
ple of Dade county and Gov. Smith are in
danger of preeipitating a conflict with the
Federal Government which must serious
Iy damage them as well as injure the cred
it of the whole South. We fear that Gov
Smith has forgotten that the times have
changed since Coy. Troup, of Georgia, was
able to intimidate the administration o.
John Quincy Adams.

Speaking at Bristol.
JoNEsBoRo'. TENNESSEE,
Oet. q 1872.


EDITORS CHRONICLE: Judge Houk,
RepublicanlElect for. the State at large,
is here to address our people to-day. he
spoke at Bristol yesterday to a respectful
crowd, in both numbers and intelligence
Nine-tenths of them were Democrats. His
speech was bold, yet dignifed, and mod
crate in tone. He was listened to with
marked attention for more than an hour
and half, and applauded. At the close
of his speech the applause became general,
the whole crowd joining in heartily. The
argument offered seemed to favorably lm-
press his hearers. That Judgement had
been made in their minds which set them
to thinking. was apparent to the least OBJ
serving. This of course was dlstasteful to
that class who cannot brook opposition.
Hence, as the Judge concluded, little
picunirany sort of fellow, whose name is
not recOllected, assayed what he called
a reply. Disregarding the issues and
arguments presented he commenced q
low, vulgar, personal harrangue, assailing
the Judge for what he should have said in
a speech some four or five years before,
misrepresenting and misstating the facts
in the case, as the Judge arose and calmly
informed him. True, however, to the in
stincts of a Democrat, the little creature
grew more furious for having to correct and
qualify his misrepresentation. He called
to mind, and called the crowd, nine out of
every ten Of whom were Democrats, to
witness that "Judge Houk has not got
Grisham's bayonets around him now,p
emphasizing and gesticulating in a man
ner, whether so intended not, so as to
indicate to the crowd that it would have
been a good time to mob the Judge for
what he is reputed to have said several
years since.
To the creditsof the people, though an
overwhelming majority were eX-Confeder-
ates, they remained calm, and gave no sort
of countenance to the little would-be lead
er of a mob. 1t is said all signs fail in dry
weather. Unless something of the kind
exists as applicable to the people of Bristol,
and vicinity, good results will follow, the
work of Yesterday. The whistle hav-
ing ANNOUNCED the train as ready to
more off, and the fiery little fellow still
ranting in most laughable and yet bully
ing style, Judge Houk said, II did not
come here to discuss personal matters. My
object was to talk of principles, and give
the relative merits of men. / can't turn
aside to quarrel. You will all bear witness
that have assailed no man personally.
Now, in leaving you, / wish it distinctly
understood that have no reply to make
to such talk as this-but a0e may all meet
again."
Thus saying the Judge hastened to the
cars, and the little fellow whowas swelling
up so lord-like subsidized. Whatever else
may be said, no decent man can endorse
the purpose and design of the little candI-
date for notoriety. Republicans are salts
fled. Democrats are mad.
GRANT MAN.

Brick Cleaning Machine.

We have been shown by Mr.. T. NJ. Schleier,
the model of machine for cleaning old bricks
of his own inYention, and which he is confident
will supply long needed want among con-
tractors and builders. 1t is ingenious in con-
struction, tho chamber in which the brick is
forced by lever of the same size and shape.
having knives on each side, which as the brick
is forced down, remove the mortar adhering to
them, and after passing through the ends are
cleaned by two knives on track on which the
brick passes out as clean as when first taken
from the kiln. The four sides of the chamber
are movable, being held in place by springs.
The knives can be changed from one side to
another and need no sharpening, the passage of
the brick between them serving to keep sufi-
GENTLY keen edge for the purpose demanded.
The blades are regulated by screws and can be
elevated or depressed z desired, and by this ar
rangement they can be used until worn entirely
out. Mr.. Schleier intends testing his machine
as soon as completed and viii, if it meets his ex-
pectations, have them manufactured. That
there is q fortune in store for the manufacturer
when the machine comes into general use We
have not the shadow of doubt. In the larger
cities dozens of those machines could be used.

GENTLEMEN: I have just received your
communication, so numerously signed, and can
say to you, / fully endorse the principles there
| in expressed. i have had during my life but
little to do with party politics, but as you know,
have been and still am in sympathy with the
party which now controls the Government.
That my course while holding public position
at the hands of the people in time past has been
such as TO win the good opinion of good citizens
even among my political opponents is truly
gratifying to me, and assure you that should
be elected to the position youImention, shall
endeavor to so act as to promote thesinterests of
| the entire community. I'D O..
AS you alreadyiknow, ve--thorohghly at
heart the principles that seek the promotion
and permanent welfare of the working people,
| upon whose shoulders rest the burden and safe
| ty of the Government, both in times of peace and
| war. - -. ..- ,
The assumption that the mechanics and work.
| ingmen have separate and antagonistc interests
from other members of community and of in
ferior Importance, is nlonarchical idea, incon-
sstent with the spirit of the institutions of our
country where every man, no matter what his
circumstances or vocation,is equally ruler and
part of the governing power, and the govern
ment is not above him but Of him.
And when crafty politicians" and cunning
manipulators'' assume through packed conven-
tions or otherwise to Grrogate to themselves the
right to designate who shall, and who shall not
hold Office, the working man whose time is
spent in striving to support !his wife and chill
dren, and not in political eaucusses and con-
ventions, may we'll speak put and say who shall
bear his standard in the coming election and
represent his interests inhe halls of Legislation.
The cause of labor and of the right .of the
working man to his voice in the enactment of
laws and the protection of his interests in legis-
lation is comparatively in its infancy, but its
principles are so just.and true that it will gather
strength as it'progresses until it becomes pow
er known and felt'in.. this whole country. "A
1 accept the championship yourofer me and
will bear your standard through the coming
contest trust to victory, but should it be to de-
feat 1 promise you.your flag in my hands shall
never be dishonored.
Very respectfully yours,
r-#f. Cd j. NJ. THoRNBURGH.

US the plans for the refreshment and dining
hall to be used during the Eastern Division

the main building, in size 110x50 feet, capable
of seating at one time five hundred people. At
each end will be refreshment and coffee stands

commodious arrangement, Mr.. Scherf at its
head with his knowledge de Fart culinaire and
q corps of such servants as he never fails to have
under his control we predict will be success
and a credit to our enterprise in every particu-
with the Fair will be planed and carried on in
the same liberal style.

The Speaking at Athens.
ATHENS

ATHENS, Tenn, Oct. 2, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE:1 According to
published appointments Messrs. Maynard,
johnson and Cheatham addressed the citi-
zens of McMinn county, at this place, yes
terday. Gen. Cheatham first greeted the
audience. The General may be, probably
is, good boon companion, as one would
naturally infer from his natural figure and
jolly face, but as "speakist," he is a signal
failure. After reading his "little piece, !"
consuming less than thirty minutes, he
subsidized like a blushing school girl, for
the first time, appears upon "the public
stage" His "Accidency" next appeared
and with an egotism and self-confidence,
not approached by any other public man,
delivered a monOtonOus rigmarOle. His
sophistry was transparent to the dullest
comprehension. Though he denounced the
convention which nominated his military
competitor, it was evident to his auditors
that had he received the nomination in
stead of claiming to the peoples cdndi-
date, he would have announced himself
the standard-bearer of the A1
DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
His prologue was equally desti-
tute of rhetoric and logic. Though we
have often heard the arch demagogue, his
effort yesterday was the most labored and
ridiculous performance we ever heard him
make. Nevertheless, we suppose, it was
eminently satisfactory to his admirers here,
who clapped their hands in appreciation of
what he should say before he opened his
mouth.
The talented Maynard, to whom we
also have often listened before, made, we
think, the best speech we ever heard from
him. His defence of Grants administra-
ton was matchless. He was logical, elo-
quent and facetious.
The mail is about closing so 1 must
abruptly break off. X.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.
Call ON Col. j. NJ. ThOrnburgh by the Work
''- ingmen. e lg Z { tJ
Col. J. ~ Thorrburgh, K'eoruiIle, Tenn:


| Col. J. II. Thornburgh, KnoruiLle, Tenn:
We, the undersigned, are of the mechanics
and working men Of Tennessee. As a class of
the community who ''eat bread in the sweat of
| their faces,n on whom falls most heavily and
surely in the end all public hardships and evils,
we feel most keenly and vitality the necessity
of an honest and capable administration Of the
laws, and the advancement iof wise and just
public measures. -sH.- E' -.t- TH&
But we have discovered that while we have
been endeavoring, by faithful and honest labor,
to provide for ourselves and our families, and
contribute our share to the general advancement
of the country, crafty politicians have been
gradually stealing our power, and arrogating to
themselves the right, through party caucuses
and conventions, of designating who shall and
who shall not be candidates for public Office.
Against a system which seeks to transfer a
power lodged by the constitution with the peo-
pie, to cunning manipulators and professional
politicians, we feel constrained to direct our in
fuence and our efforts.
We are men of all parties. We know your
party affiliations, but we have marked your
course when entrusted with position in time past
and have seen with pleasure, as has the entire
community, your fearless impartial and eff
cient discharge ofduty, regardless ofthe passions
of the hour and adhering steadfastly to prin-
ciple.
We have shared the general indignation felt
when, after you had been twice placed in public
position by the enthusiastic voice Of the people,
irrespective of party, the machinery of legisla-
ton was brought to bear to deprive you of your
position and defeat the expressed will of the
people.
We haveseen too, your earnest and under
standing sympathy with, and appreciation of,
the great cause of labor. FtF'-A --far-
Judging the future by the past we believe
you would prove not only an earnest efficient
and useful Representative of the interests of the
district but an acceptable and fearless champi-
pion ofthe great cause in which, as working men,
we are engaged, and we know of no one under
whose leadership we can more fairly test wheth-
er in future the politicians shall appoint or the
people shall elect their representatives.
We, therefore, earnestly request you to be-
come our candidate to represent this District in
the 43rd Congress of the United States. .promis
ing Won our united and earnest support.
