CHEATHAM IN LEBANON.

son Dead.

From an Occasional Correspondent
LEBANON, October 10, 1s72.-The can
didates for Congress fer the StHte al
Large spoke hefe to-day. Mr.. Cheat
ham opened, followed by Johnson and
Maynard. The Oration was about equally
divided; yet Johnson's eloguence is cal
culated to procure for him applause
under the influence Of passion, but
when men have Thought cOOlly and
calmly, and when the excitement of the
hour Is over, 1 think we will find large
majority for Cheatham.
Maynard was left in the cold without
a single round Of applause, except when
some Of the students gave it to him as
ridicule. Cheatham made very short
speech, though it was a telling one, and
q speech that viii do him good.
A banner was suspended across Cum
berland street inscribed, Wilson county
for old Frank; we'll Cheat 'em every
time.n candy johnson, whisky inspira-
tiOn.n The excitement ran high all day,
and Is still higher tonight.

MADRID, October IA Republican
| ilsurrection has broken out among The
troops at Ferral, in the Province of Cor
runa. The government has dispatched
troops 10 the town and summary meas
ures viii be at once adopted to suppress
the revolt.
In the COrtes, to-day, the Minister o.
the Colonies announced the existence O
Republican revolt at Ferral, and that
fifteen hundred men belonging to the
garrison and some Of the population
Joined in the movement. The leaders
tre Montijo and Kogas. The Minister
further stated that the troops in the for
tress of Ferral refuse to join the insur-
rectionists and are waiting for the arri-
val Of reinforcements to suppress the
revolt.
The insurgents at Ferral took posses
sion Of the gunbOats anchored in the
harbOr and Of the lighthouse keepers,
whom they made prisoners. This closes
the port and prevents the government
from sending reinforcements by sea. In
the Cortes at Phonsista the Republican
deputies disavowed any completely with
the movement, and declared their sym
pathy was with the government.

without the consent and knowledge OF
the Yoters Of the counties which have

pie to vote for Mr.. Brooks against Mr..
Baxter, that we might get rid Of this
Radical party that has so long hung as
d blight over the entire State.
We iudOrsed Mr.. Brooks at the in
stance Of the Democratic Convention in
June, upon the ground that he was a

there. They gave every reason IN the

Among the old stegers that were pres
ent, | may mention Colonel John 3.
Kerr. He ran for a n0n7inatiOn in
Shelby county not long ago and made
a failure. Colonel Barnes made few
failures in trying to get elected. ID.
Pante made a failure in trying to be
Magistrate. John League was beat
for Mayor. Colonel Stewart ran
behind for Magistrate. james Duri
is the only one that has been
uniformly successful, / believe, and yet
his success never amounted to much. II
is true, Bob Good was a very brilliant
politician at one time, but he is now
numbered among the failures. 1 was

THREATS OF ASSASSINATION
Proposed Radical Kukluxism- -Peacea
bic Citizens Assaulted.

ET0m the savannah News Of Saturday.
The Radicals, il seems, are rather sore
over their recent terrible defeat IN this
State, and falling through the admira-
DE precaution by His Honor, the Mayor,
10 create riot in this city, have turned
their attention 10 posting up threatening
notices, iusinuating midnight assassina-
tiOn OF certsn parties Elsewhere l.
mentioned the murderous assault Of q
gang Of Radical kuklux upon s peacea-
Die citizen, and also the interference
with toe rights Of another citizen by a
custOmhouse official. These attempts
at assassination viii bring some OF them
into trouble, 50 it is vel that these lead
ers take warning IN time.
Yesterday morning we noticed posted
On c0uspicuOes places the following in
cendiary and cowardly threat, written
evidently by some pure patriot OF the
Radical cabOOdle, who probably gave
more attention to storing his pockets
with spOlls than his head with knOwl-
edge. The upper portion Of this sweet
document was torn Of, and we could
only decipher that something was
''calLed," probably q meeting. Below
we give The threatening part Of the
euistle, verbatim # kterdttm.

OF course there was no signature to
this precious document. Cowards al
ways conceal their names, but " fore
warned is f0rearmed," and we would
gently remind those sneaking assassins
that auY attempt 10 carry out such
threats viii bring upon them a terrible
retributiOn. These threats can only
come from the leaders Of the Radical
party, either direct, or instigated or sug-
eested by them, and these men are well
known. II would be a rather unsafe
action 10 carry this eowardly threat into
execution BY assaulting or numbering
respectable citizens. 1t won't do, and
N lhe writer Of that document Is not
careful. he may feel that which lie
can't see.u We rarely attach any inn
p0rtance to threats, bat il is advisable
that these parties who make them
should know that they are tTeading on
dangerous ground. There is no violence

be any if they conduct themselves as
