ANNUAL ADDRESS
OF
HON, JOHN SCOTT,
PRESIDENT OF THE
STATE AGRICULTURAL
ASSOCIATION,

AT CEDAR RAPIDS, SEPTEMBER 10, 1872
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-11-01
sneaktne Wednesdax Night.

Gen Quarles and Col. Holman made
some happy hits in their speeches on Wed
nesday night before the Cheatham Club.
Col. Holman is worthy representative Of
the Democracy of old Lincoln. He made
a forcible and telling speech which drew
forth long and loud applause. Gen Quarles
made one of his characterislically able
speeches. He said he had been censured
by disorganizers for advocating Gen. Cheat
hams election. He said be had done
what his seuse Of duty prompted. He had
defended the whole ticket, including Gree
lev. John g. Brown, B. F. CheathAm, and
all the regular nominees. This was his
duty TO the party and he had fearlessly
performed it. He was for Cheathsn, as
be was for John G. Blown, because ne was
the candidate Of the Democratic party as
much as he, Gen. Q1aries, was.
Gen. Quarles said he knew it was his
duty as one of the standard bearers of the
party to sustain all its candidates, whether
high or low. He had 10 excuse to offer; be
had but done his duty. Upon the question
of Cheatham's capacity, he said that Cheat
ham, though not distinguished as popular
orator, was man of the finest sense and
well qualified for the Office for which he was
nOmlDaUSO. HOW uttS ID lldpD6 Sdiu OCu'
Ouarles, that if Cheatham be such an infe-
nor man rs some Of his opponents pretend
TO think he is, that nine-tenths of the men
Of acknowledged intellect in the State, of
all former parties, are sustaining him?
How few, how very few Of Tennessee's
able men support Mr.. johnson. Henry,
Caruthers, Ewing, PeytOn, Harris, Stephens,
Bailey, House, and the long line Of her
brilliant orators and able statesmen are
all for Cheatham. Are these men not ca
pable of ascertaining whether man has
ability enough to serve in Congress? Who
are the men that say Cheatham is man
of small capacity? They are generally men
who are incapable of determining wnat in-
tellect is, because they have so little Of 1t
themselves.
Gen. Quarles' defence of I8ham g. Har-
rfs, in regard to the school fund, was able
and satisfactory. Many other points were
made by Gen. Quarles, which we have not
space now to notice.
The speeches produced fac impress
sion and will do much good.

THE SUTEATTON.

To the Editor of the Union and American:
Ihave read the able and stirring address
of the Democratic State Executive Com
mIttee with much interest. Every true
Democrat in the State should read it and
consider carefully its i'm portant facts. If
all of them should read it, there is no
chance for Mr.. johnson or Mr.. Maynard
either. The real sense of danger, it seems
to me, is this: The Committee show that
Maynard Will get 49, 800 votes in seventy
two counties. This is the estimated Rad
ical vote in most counties, but the fact
seems to be overlooked that there is quite a
number of Mr.. Johnson's friends who wish
to destroy the Democratic party. It
cannot be denied that there
are many sincere opponents
of Radicalism who are supporting
Nj. johnson; these men would not sup
port Maynard in any event. They are sup
porting johnson because they consider him
a Democrat. Their object is not to de-
stroy the Democratic party. l think they
are acting unwi5ely, but do net believe
they are enemies of the democratic party.
[ suppose twO-thirjs of Mr.. Johnson'e sup
porters are true Democrats, and that only
oDe-third of them are enemies of the Dem
ocratic party. This would give out of 49,
600 votes for johnson, $4,000 Democrats
and $1,000 who have been acting with the
Democratic party but who now wish to see
it destroyed. Where will these 49,
900 90 on the day OF the cleo
ton? viii they not vote for the
candidate most likely to defeat the Demo-
cratic candidate? Do they not know as
well as we do that il is Horace Maynard,
and will they not vote for him? If they
can keep the 10000 true Democrats on to
Johnson they can by going in body to
MAYNARD elect him. Let the sincere Dem
ocrats who sre supporting Mr.. johnson
guard this point. This detection from
johnson will take place in the cities
and on the railroads with
the hope that the Democrats in the
country who are supporting johnson will
not find it out until it is too late.
Johnson himself will be disappointed in his
vote. In proof of this it may be
stated that many of the most prominent
and active supporters of MIR. Johnson now
say they intend to vote for Grant. Let the
Johnson Democrats be on their guard. Be
warned in time. The l0udest supporters
of johnson around Nashville are the men
who have been irving for considerable
time to destroy he Democratic and
Conservative party. They never had any
prospect or hope of success until they got
Mr., JohnsOn's assistance, and now they are
inbilant, not at the prospect of electing Mr..
Johnson, but Of destroying the Democratic
Marty. johnson Democrats, beware of
tLpse men. A DEMOCRAT.

Sleeping Car Nuisanees.

II is frequently the case that passenger
in sleeping coaches are denied the luxury
Of enjoying repose by noise, singing and
disagreeable conversation INDUCED in BY
those who have no regard for the comfort
and well being of their less jOvisl fellOw-
travellers. a few nights ago, in sleeping
car coming to this city, several parties,
whose names we do rot publish, made so
much noise by singing, talking and laugh
ing that it was impossible for many passen-
gers to sleep. Such conduct is highly OPP
proJrious to gentlemen and even decent
persons. Il calls for redress at the hands
ofthe sleeping-car conductors, whose atten-
ton is directed to its prevention in future.
Passengers are required to pay for hunks,
and conductors of sleeping coaches should
be required to render the apartments suit
able for the purposes for which they are
intended, and not permit inconsiderate par
ties to render them places for comic songs
and noisy conversations. A hint to the
wise is sufficient.

COURT ETI0UETTE.

nv grandmother and my aunt, Lady
Emilia DrummOnd, were out one day in
attendance upon Marie Antoinette, being,
i;i-a the rest of the more demure members
n the court, in open carriages. Bat the
Oneen was riding on donkey, as indeed
were various of her younger faVorites.
Suddenly, however, the whole cavalcade
was stopped, for Marie Antoinette's dom
lev. having felt a sudden inclination to
roll on the green turf, had thrown Its royal
rider. and she, being quite unhurt, remain
ed seated on the ground, laughing immod-
erately.
AS soon however, as she could command
her countenance, she assumed mock graV-
itv. and, without attempting to rise from
her lowiy position, commanded that the
Grand mistress Of the ceremonies should at
once be brought TO her side. Nobody could
imaoine what her Majesty was about either
70 saw or do; but when the lady thus sud-
denly summoned to her presence stood, in
no GOOD temper and with dignified aspect
hef',re her. she looked up and said-"Mad-
a,ne. | have sent for you that you may
inform me as to the etiquette to be observ-
nd when a Queen of France and her dom
kew have both fallen-which Of them is to

FRANKLIN, Oct. 30, 1S72.-In my card
in the issue Of your paper of the 10Th inst,
in reference to a communication dated at
this place on the 22d inst, signed ga Cheat
ham Man." | had no intention of calling in
question the verscity of your correspond
ent, but simply to state that the language
used by him did not convey the meaning of
the language used by me on the occasion
referred to. l now say, aud conveyed such
meaning in my speech referred to, that be-
cause man had been a general in the Con-
federate army, that that was not the only
qualification to office. l intended to say at
the time, and still say, that for a man to
have been general is not the only qualifi-
cation for office. We do not want generals
as such, but we want statesmen as such.

In view of the fact that Mr.. s. S. House
has, in written statement, intended for
publication in the UNION AND AMERICAN,
and which have seen, stated that he did
not intend to call in question my veracity,
and that his meaning was simply that be-
cause a man had been in the Confederate
army, that that was not the only qualifca-
ton for Office, and that he intended TO say
at the time that for man to have been a
general was not the chief claim 10 Office, l

To the Editor of the Union and American.
saw in the Banner, of this morning,
the following article:
POINTS.
The following bets were made on the
streets yesterday, by two gentlemen well
known in sporting circles:
First-That johnson would beat Cheat
ham in the State.
Seoond--That johnson would be elected.
Third-Thas johnson would beat Cheat
ham 5000 votes in the county Of David
son.
FourLh-That johnson would beat
Chesthaga 5000 votes in Sumner, Ruther-
ford, Wilson and Williamson combined.
Fifth-That the Chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Executive Committee would
march to the polls at five minutes past nine
o'clock on next Tuesday and vote for the
Great Commoner.
After reading the article 1 took the Ban
ner with me and called at the editorial
room of said paper. l found there Mr..
Albert Roberts, SIR. Atchison, Mr.. Coleman
and MIR. Eugene Roberts. called the at
tention of Mr. Albert Roberts TO the arti-
Gle, and told him that had called to see if
| could get the bets mentioned, and told
him that l would bet from one to two
hundred dollars on each proposition. He
said that he had not seen the article until
Just then. I then remarked TO Mr.. Cole
man that knew he was the author of the
article, and that would give him hat to
show me the men who made the bets. He
replied that he would see me again on the
subject during the day. Later in the
day met Mr.. Coleman in company with
Mr.. Redfeld, and he (Coleman) said that
he (Redfeld) knew the bets were made; to
which Rfr. Redfield assented. Soon after
wards met Mr.. Beifeld and he stated to
me that ne knew nothing about the matter
| except what he had heard. also propose d
to Mr.. Coleman that l would give him a
bat if be would find a man who would make
the bet or show me the man who did make
the bets. He failed to do this and l am
satisfied that the thing emanated with the
reporters IF the Banner.
