Mr.. Speaker Richardson.

We think we speak the universal
sentiment when we express our sim
cere regret to learn that Maj. Jas.
d. Richardson, the present able and
efficient Speaker Of the House of
Representatives, declines perempto-
rilv to be candidate for reelection
to represent Rutherford county in
the legislature. He is the equal ia all
good respects, of any man who ha.
presided.over.the deliberations ofthe
legislature of Tennessee for forty
years. The writer Of this has no
personal acquaintance with Maj.
Richardson, and speaks of him as he
is known in his public capacity.

The Penslon Inst.

General Garfield, as chairman O.
the committee on appropriations
made the startling statement to the
house, a few days ago, on the autho.
rity of the commissioner of pen.
sions, that one-fourth of the tota
amount paid to pensioners goes "a
persons who have got their names
upon the pensions rolls by fraud
and who have no right to be there
at all. 1t appears that there is q
system of preparing fictitious evil
dence of disability, by claim agents,
that has succeeded to the enormous
extent stated, so that the treasury
is annually depleted of about SIS, 900. :.
600, for the benefit of swindlers.

mrs. Grant and How she Dresses.

A Washington correspondent
writes; Mira. Grant is neither hand
some nor stylish, but she has quite
plump shoulders and round, shape
" arms and hands. She is so devoid
of consciousness or pretentiOns that
disarms criticism and ALWAYS leaves
an agreeable impression. To-day
she wore a crimson velvet that she
bought two years ago, when Prince
Arthur was here; and wore it for
the first time to the ball given to
him by the English Minister. So
you see she doesn't mind wearing
the same dress many times, and for
several successive seasons. The
dress is cut low in the neck, but she
wore a white lace cape with long
ends laced at the back, forming a
sash. The sleeves are wide and
loose with point-lace trimmings
She wore on her head a fine lace
barbe and a knot of flowers"

Mr.. Greeley on the Proposed
statue.
The World says:

The World says:
cit cannot be doubted that the
erection of a statue To Horace
Greeley would please and charm Mr.
Greeley himself"
This seems 10 afford Mr.. e., fair
opportunity to say that he would
not be pleased, much less charmed,
by the erection OF any statue of him
self while he lives. After he is
dead-an event which be does not
care TO hasten, even for the sake of
a statue-if any should see fit to
pile granite or marble above his
dust, he can make no objections;
but, so long as he shall remain in
the flesh, he is content with the
stones thrown at him promiscuOus-
ly, and would rather not have any
of them consolidated into a statue

gallant Confederate commander,
last week accosted Mr.. Trice, the
conductor of tho Memphis and
Charleston road, and asked if he
was the man who originated those
damnable lies about JEFF. Davis in
the sleeping car. Trice replied that
he was the man who told the truth
about that affair, when Maury de-
nOuuced him, and he seized poker
and caved in the Generals head
and he was for a time thought to be
mOrtally wounded, but is now out
of danger. Was Aaury drunk? II
not he is fool, and no true friend

what we Want.

Democratic or liberal platforms
and a Democratic or liberal candi-
date for President is not what the
people want, but they want a gen.
tleman, q statesman, man of honor,
no matter what his politics or plat
form, elected over a nepotist-a gift
taker-a VIGOROUSLY corrupt head
of a corrupt faction, who farms out
the government for his own benefit
regardless of the will, or the good
of the people. 1t is true that many
of US have personal and party pred
ilections-would be glad to see this
or that man, representing certain
ideas of government, elected presi-
dent. but all patriotic men are pre-
pared to sacrifice these party feel
ings and personal preferences to Sc
cure honest and capable government,
a government of the people for their
benefit. To secure such a triumph
is easy. 1t requires but the exercise
of that ordinary common sense for
the possession of which the people
of this country are noted; they must
ignore side issues and false cries:
must let the dead past bury its dead
and looking steadily to the present
condition of affairs, unite ina man.

Reform or Farce.

THERE is an evident tone of apprehen-
sion upon the part of the Greeley Democ-
racy, as if the campaign were not pro-
ceeding satisfactorily. But it is not sur
prising. The only real question from the
beginning has been whether the country
would soon enough understand the exact
situation. That the Democratic party
could, under the circumstances, give to
the country the Indispensable sense of sta
bility and confidence would not be be-
lieved by any man who seriously ponder
ed the situation; and that "reform" in
any intelhgible sense was to be expected
from the coalition is simply absurd. Yet
there is always fascination in bold and
novel stroke. The very comedy IN the
Cincinnati action was attractive to many
persons. Theidea of "whirlwind," an
uprising" "clean sweep" "revolu-
tion," fresh DEAL" was agreeable to
many more. There were those also who
have general theory that party which
has been dominant for some years ought
to lose power, whatever may be the alter
native. King Log, they think, must go,
even if it be only to make way for King
Stork, who will eat all his subjects. And
when to all this was added the great act
of repentance at Baltimore, or more justly
the Democratic tour de force of riding sim
ultaneously two horses going in opposite
directions, there was shouting and ex-
citement which seemed to be the sign of
popular conviction and resolution.
But the truth was very sure to appear
as soon as the actual work and argument
of the campaign began. ltwas plain that
honest Republicans would then see that
they were invited merely to help Demo
cratic restoration, and to intrust the gov
ernment to its enemies and most doubtful
friends. The talk about Democratic re.
pentance might satisfy the marines, but
not the forecastle. The attitude of the
Democratic party, the words of its chief
leaders, the necessity of the case, would
all instruct candid minds. And such has
been the result. AS for reform, those
who sincerely sought it, and who doubted
inally Of civilservice reformeTs, revenue
refoTmers, and friends of State sovereign
tY no ninating candidate who declared
that to the victor belong the spoils, who
was an arch prOtectionist, and who was
the most jealous champion of the Ku'
Klux law. Upon reflection, and after
seeing that Mr. Greeley is surrounded
with gentlemen who are not eminent re-
formers of any kind, and that he is sup
ported mainly by Democrats who half
spurn the alliance which they consider
necessary to restore them to power, those
who are anxious for reform do not dis.
cover lively prospect Of It in the elec-
ton Of Mr.. Greeley.

- There is no longer scarcely doubt OF
the reelection of General Grant. The peo-
pie are quiet, but they have mostly made up
their minds. They contrast this Admins
tration with that which we should be likely
to have under the lead of Grants opponents.
They believe it to be on the whole consist
eut with the ideas prevailing at the time of
its assuming power. They have no doubt
that it will be flexible to the wants and
wishes of the steadier and soberer part of
the nation and they therefore deliberately
determine that it shall continue in power

Speaker Blaine from Augusta, Me-, on the

To the President of the United States, Long
Branch, n. j.:
We have carried the State for Governor Perham
by more than 1900 majority, net gain Of 5000
over last years votes. We have carried all the
Congressional Districts the closest by 1000 major

something never achieved but once before.
