the heavens, they could not control five
hundred votes in all East Tennessee, for
the simple reason that East Tennesseeans
do their own thinking and come to honest
conclusions in their own way.
Hence all this rejoicing over the defec-
ton of former Republican leaders is pre-
mature and without any substantial foun-
dation. Gen. Grants strength lies with
the people. He has never been the favor
tie of politicians. The result in Novem-
Der will be that he will receive the votes,
regardless of what politicians may do or
say. If these politicians would only learn
this, it would save them of great deal of
hard labor, for which they will never be
compensated,

THE SHELBY COUNTY ELECTION:

The local elections in Shelby county last
week, were contested by the partisan De-
mocracy of that county, with the spirit of
desperation and proscriptiveness which
has always marked the leaders of
the party in that locality. Col. Curry, who
was fairly elected Sheriff of the county in
1870, but who was kept out of office until
decision of the Supreme Court gave him
his rights, is Republican. He is gentle
man of superior qualifications, and of a
high character. No one of his bitter and
unrelenting enemies dared to impugn Ell
ther his official or his private character.
But the spirit of bitter partisanism,
which is blind to merit and worth, and
which turns deaf car to the voice of rea-
son, was brought into requisition for his
defeat By species of fraud which rem
ders the ballot box mockery, he was de-
feated. The AUdIdnche seems to be dis
gusted with the canvass and alludes to it
as follows
But while we are on this subject we may say
a few other things to the public. Curry was
not defeated alone by these figures at least four
hundred colOred men were delayed and pre-
vented from voting, and above all Mr.. Mclean
sold himself for one thousand dollars, Tuesday
night preceding the election to Powell, Wood
ward and Doyle, to work in their interest Take
it all in all, 1t was the most reckless and des-
perate canvass ever made in the name of patri-
otism for the spoils of Office. There was net
candidate who did not spend his thousands of
dollars votes were bought and rebought and
the purity of the ballot box and the right of
suffrage were minor things.

THE PEOPLE DO THEIR OWN THINKING.

We can hardly take up a Democratic
paper the columns of which are not en-
Iivened with the reported disaffection of
some Republican leader. They publish
the name of one of these "soreheads " and
again, after they think the matter has been
forgotten by their readers, they re-publish
it with flaming sensational head lines,
making it a fresh conversion each time,
and then the faithful gather around this
new convert, shake hands and rejoice to-
gether with exceeding great joy" But
these Democratic politicians seem to mis-
apprehend the character of the Re-
publican masses. They seem to
forget that Republicans are gener-
ally reading and thinking people.
They seem to forget that the common peo-
pie are in the habit of forming their own
calculations, and that they do not wear the
collar of MIR. Greeley, Mr.. Sumner, Mr..
SchurZ, Mr.. Trumbull or Mr.. anybody else.
Town cliques may get up torchlight pro-
cessions, build bontires, and with the aid
of enthusiastic boys get up a big noise, and
so-called Liberal Republicans" may ex-
patiate Oh fancied corruption in the civil
service to their hearts content, but when
election day comes, the people go to the
ballot box and vote their sentiments,
having arrived at their own conclusions
after mature deliberation. and without
any reference to what has been said by So
called leaders. This is what the people of
this country do, and they will continue to
do so. Changes in politicians do not effect
changes in the people. Our distinguished
Senator, Gov. Brownlow, and our able and
incorruptible Representative in Congress,
Mr.. Maynard, enjoy the esteem and con-
fdence of East Tennessee Republicans in
the very highest degree, but if they should
come out for Greeley, (which is about as
unlikely as that the sun will stand still in

THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

Our Republican friends of the First
upon an exciting contest for the nomina-
ton of candidate for Congress. We trust
this contest will be fairly and honorably
conducted on both sides. Everywhere else
in Tennessee the party is united, aggres-
sive and strengthening every day. 1t
should be so in the First District.
We are every day receiving commune
cations from the friends of Judge Butler
and Major Pettibone, lauding their can
didates and assailing their opponents.
We decline publishing any assaults upon
either of these gentlemen. The CHRONI-
Gle can not in this way take any part in

tits for the majority of the Republicans
of that district to decide who shall be the
nominee. We will support the wishes of
such majority fairly expressed. We will
be glad to publish reports of meetings brief
ly given, but attacks upon the character of
the rival candidates we do not feel willing
to publish We believe this is the only
policy calculated to do justice to both par
ties, and the only course we can consistent
ly pursue.
Some of our correspondents are our per-
sonal friends in whose judgment and mo-
tives we have great confidence. We would
be glad to serve them and will do so in ev-
cry reasonable way, but in this matter our
only course as journalists, is to publish
the facts as we gather them concerning the
progress of the contest, leaving personal
matters to he settled elsewhere

THE shameful legislation of the last
Democratic Assembly has at last aroused
the people of East Tennessee aud the force
of their indignation Is to be witnessed in
the results Of the late elections We have
repeatedly noticed some of these cases of
indicative legislation. One of the most
outrageous instances was that in the inter-
est of the ring of newspapers sued by BaX-
ter for libel. Never in any litigation was
a more iniquitous and unjust act passed,
than the one striking down his suits. To
favor press convicted of stealing the peo-
pies taxes, the Legislature made itself a
party to this private legislation by going
into the courts of justice and interfering
with suits being prosecuted in the usual
manner. The law thus passed is simply
Infamous. Not respectable lawyer in the
State will defend it. The men who voted
for it are ashamed of their votes to-day.
1t was most disgraceful piece of legisla-
ton and shows the meanness and littleness
Of Tennessee Democracy.
Col. Thornburgh in his able speech at
cambridge last Monday, made telling ex-
pose of this law and as he pictured it the
people pronounced it most outrageous and
spiteful. This whole record of corrupt
and proscriptive Legislature will be fully
presented to the people before the Novem-
Der election

ing contained characteristic blow over
statement that the New York Stats lett

influence, was a late recruit " to the
Greeley movement. Its issue of Satur-

showed no leaning that way. Where did
the orgau get its information? Is it one

brag?

The Arlington Tragedy.

The court of inquiry i'll reference to
the recent fatal shooting affray at East
Arlington has finally closed its lab ors,
the Justice holding Sherrod Farwell and
Franklin Lawrence guilty of wilfull
murder declining to allow them the
benefit of bail. They were taken to
Bennington and committed to jail, where
they will await the action of the or and
Jury, which will be in session at Man
chester, in June, in connection with the
next term of the Bennington County
Court.
The complaint, on which they are
held, charges them with the murder OF
Maloney, alone. No action has, we I'M
derstand, been taken, as yet, with re fer
ence to the shooting of John Hanna,
which it will be remembered, has since
resulted fatally, or of Frank Buck and
Edward Rafferty,. Both Buck and I8af-
ferty are rapidly improving and are mel
ther of them confined to the house.
AS this matter is to undergo further
investigation before higher court, we
fOrbear all comment on the facts, which
appear to us, disclosed by the evidence.

THE HERALD appeared in new dress
Monday. The price of the paper re-
mains unchanged while the amount of
reading is materially reduced We con-
graduate THE HERALD on this evidence
of its prosperity.
The above extract from the last issue
or the Rutland Independent conveys a
false impression and is characteristic of
that sheet. Now the facts are that the
new type used for reading matter on the
Rutland Daily Md Weekly HERALD, is
precisely the same size as the old type.
There never was a time that we were
giving as much reading matter as now,
IA point which we think is noticed by our
readers, for The HERALD starts the first
of the year with larger list OF sub
scribers than ever before, the Weekly
alone having more subscribers than all
the rest of the weeklies in the county
combined

The Oairymen's Association.

The Vermont Dairymen's Association,
which commences a session Of three
days, in Rutland, Jan. 18th, is gather
ing of more than ordinary importance.
No association of a similar character for
the benefit of the farmer brings out so
large an amount of valuable information
and preserves it in printed form.
In the programme of speakers from
abroad is announced Sfour of the most
eminent men in their particular field in
this country. and it is good fortune to
the farmers of Rutland county and
Western Vermont that they have this
opportunity to listen to them. Let the
farmers come out in force, not only to
gather instruction in their vocation, but
to Join the association, and thus encour-
age it in the great and useful work in
which it is engaged.
This will be the third annual meeting
of the association. The first was held
in 1870, at st. Adams and was attended
during its session by about four hundred.
The second was held at Burlington in
1871, and was attended by about the
same number The attends-ec at Rut-
land this year bids fair to be as large if
not larger.
The number from out of town that
will need accommodation during the ses-
sion will probably be three hundred and

We hope our people will give the asso-

treatment. Our town has been unfortu-
nately situated, for the past fen years,
for inviting voluntary societies, ass0Cia-
tions, conventions, and public meetings,
having no public hall. For this reason
the impression has gone forth through
the State that Rutland did not desire
such meetings to be held within her Dor
der,. Such has not been the fact No
hall or public building has been at their
disposal without paying large price.
This was Uurdensme, hence the impress
sion has gone out that Rutland was trigid
