TRICKS THAT ARE vAIN.

Last evening the Radicals or Disorgan-
lzers, We know not which, were scattering
little handbills over the city of which the
following is copy:
YOUR ATTENTIoN-CITIzENs OF THE CAP.
IrAL OF TENNESSEE, BEHOLD WHAT
COL. SAVAGE, ONE OF THE DRILL SER.
GEANTs, SAYS ABOUT YOU.
In his denunciatory harangue against ex.
President Andrew johnson, at McMinnville,
Col. Savage (Cheatham Elector) thus gross
ly insults the thousands of citizens of this
city:
81 would rather have q nomination at
the hands of the people of Sparta or Nc
Minnville, than to be nominated by the
slush and scum Of Nashville"
The intimation, the insinuation is plain
that these Radicals or disorganizers con-
strue that it was 'the slush and scum Of
Nashville" who nominated Mr.. johnson
and Mr.. w. G. Brien, when sthe fifteen
thousand" met on the Court House
Square. Although advocating the election
Of Gen1 Cheatham, and opposing the
hopeless, disorganizing candidacy of Mr..
johnson and Mr.. Brien, yet as a citizen of
Nashville we Indignantly repel the i'm
putation which the authors of this
secret circular, whether Radicals or
disorganizers, would cast on their Fifteen
thousand" who nominated Mr.. johnson
and Mr.. Brien. These candidates of Colyar
q Co. have no hope nor chance of election,
hut the Radicals and disorganizers should
not add insult to injury by publishing Sc
cretly circulars which intimate that they
were nominated ''by the slush and scum of
Nashville"

DISAS, ER0US EFFECTS OF LASE
SUMMER'S STRIKES.

The other day we reproduced from the
New York Commercial Advertiser the
statement that the strikes of last summer
resulted in the loss TO the builders alone Of
that city of more than $15,0OO,0OO, to say
nothing of the deprivation and misery which
the families of the workmen were called
upon to endure. The New York Bulletin
has suggestive article showing what the
working men in various parts Of The coun-
try have lost, and are still losing, by the in
reference Of the Trades Unions with en-
ployer aud employed, from which we ex-
tract as follows:
"The loss of the city in wages alone, by
trade driven elsewhere, amounts to several
millions of dollars. Nearly all the ship
building trade in New Y ork which survived
the injudicious legislation Of Congress, has
been driven TO other places. Messrs. Roach
81 Co., employ over 1.OO0 men at Chester,
On the Delaware, who would otherwise OBJ
tain employment in this city. 1t is the
same to greater or lesser extent with
every other shipbuilding firm in our city.
"rhe loss to the printing trade alone
aLllOuI1lo " lllOIC bllAu u lllL4lOl uDIdI5 =
year. Nearly all the commercial circulars
are now sent to Europe in manuscript and
put in type there owing to the high prices
which prevail here. Yet this work was
formerly executed entirely in New York.
In book printing the loss is also very great,
large amount Of trade having been driven
10 other cities and Canada.
"The sewing machine trade, which is
now centred in Bridgeport, Conn, was lost
to this city by the tyranny Of Trades
Unions. Messrs. Singer & Co., who en-
plOy total Of three thousand persons, are
now building new factories near Elizabeth,
n. j., and will soon transfer their entire
manufactures to that place. The manu-
featuring prospects of Newark have been
chiefly built up by energetic New York
capitalists, who desired TO manage their
own business in their own way. OF
course, trades unionism prevails more or
less everywhere, but its chief strength is in
tie great cities, in which il seems to de-
velOp its more obnoxious traits. The ma
chine trade has also suffered severely from
this cause.
1.-The pianoforle trade still feels the effect
of the strike, and We know of one firm
that medtates the transfer of its entire
business either to New Jersey or Con-
neCticut,"

LOOK our foR MAYNARn.

The Knoxville Chronicle, the leading
East Tennessee Radical paper, has the
following to say about Maynard's vote in
Tennessee:
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 Is
The strongest man to best-as a sort of
bugabCo with which to frighten timid
Democrats - they Low find him an ele-
plant TOO formidable to control. The tig-
ures, of the best informed politicians in the
State, as to Maynard's vote, vary from
10000 to $1,000. To begin with, there are
10000 cOloTed voters in the State. Here
tOfore fully one half of these have Eot
been GllOlced to cote. We believe they
solid for the Republican ticket. The
Republican vote of East Tennessee is
about q, 00U. 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 MaynaId'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
cannot believe possible. 1t therefore be-
hooves every Republican not only to have
strong hopes Of Maynard's election, but to
U0te and cork for him. In this way his
election can be assured.
Let every man who remembers and
breads the hostility of Horace Maynard to
the people of the South during the last five
years read the above and go the polls aud
vote for Frank Cheatham, the Libs raj,
Conservative Democratic candidate for
Congress-

A NOTABLE WATCH.
Something of q Sensation.

The New Orleans Times of the Both ult

ingtOn, which was stolen from him in Ten
nessee when he visited this country in 1924
The Governor of Tennessee at that time
offered a re y ard of $1,000 for it's return,
but no trace Of it was discovered. The
Times says:
The years passed on, and with their lapse
mems recollection of the circumstance fad
ed away. Lafayette died in 1884, and for
a space of forty-eight years the stolen
watch bore an unknown history. At the
end Of that time, but a few days ago, a
gentleman residing ID this city, while visit
ing Louisville, attended an auction sale at a
junk shop, where, strange to relate, he
found among the articles offered a watch
which, upon examination, lie discovered TO
be the long lost watch Of Lafayette.
Suffice il to say that he eagerly purchas-
ed it, and as quickly formed the resolution
to transmit it to the family of Gen. Lafa-
yette, now residing ia Paris, pending which
transmission, however, the gentleman has
brought 1t to his home, and has consented
TO its exhibition for few days at Z. A. Ty-
ler's jewelry store, on Canal street.
The watch is openfaced, of gold, with a
double case, and may be remarked as of a
peculiar appearance, being of only ordinary
size, but nearly as thick as it is wide. The
outer case bears upon its outer surface
carved figures, in bGs relief, representing
the picture Of Mars Offering a crown to the
Goddess of Peace, who is surrounded by
her embiems, while over all appear the
stern implements Of war, hung high out of
reach. On the inner case appears the yet
clearly le5ible inscription:
