supreme Judgeshir.

One hundred and eight Of the
Lawyers OF West Tennessee, have
Just issued in the Memphis papers,
over their own signature, the fol-
lowing recommendation of Hon.
Robert Mcfarland, who, for some
months past, has discharged the ar
duous and responsible duties Of
Of Judge ofthe Supreme Court Of
this State.
To THE VOTERS OF WEST Ten
NEssEE-The undersigned, members
of the bar, have during the term Of
| the Supreme Court just CLOSED, wit
messed the ability and industry with
which Hon. Robert Mcfarland has
| discharged the duties of a Judge of
this Court, and regard him as pos
! sessing, in an eminent degree, the
! qualities required for his place. His
1 election to fill the vacancy on the
| Supreme Bench, OccasiOned by the
resignation of Hon. L. a. II. Nelson,
would give satisfaction to the bar,
! and. to the State, an,able, industrious
and upright Jugde. This much we
| deem it proper TO say in justice TO q
/ candidate, who Is stranger to
you, and whose constant employ
ment about the public business has
necessarily deprived him of Oppor-
tunitieS for personal contact with
you.
Judge Mcfarland has none Of the
habits ola demagogue about him.
he is a lawyer of commanding abiIi-
ty, of studious, retiring habits; with
amind capable of grasping the strong
point of case almost without effort,
and If the people of Tennessee want
the standard,Of their Supreme Court
maintained and exalted, they will
vote with unanimity for Robert Nc
Farland. The writer of this was
barely introduced to Judge McFar-
land, during his three months So
jOUrn in JacksOn-uever had a word
of conversation with him on the sub
ject of his electiOn-and writes this
at his own volitiOn, and without
solicitation either from himself or
any friend of his.
lie is able, capable, faithful-has
a record as a man and lawyer equal
to the best in the State; is sober dis
Greet, prudent and sugacious, but
too modest to enter the lists as an
electiOneerer for his own interests.

County Convention.

There will be q Convention Of the
Conservative and Democratic party
Of the county Of Henderson, held in
the Court House, at Lexington,
Tenn, on the LIST Monday in August
next, for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for the Legislature.
Harmony is desired by the party,
composed as it is, Of all the oppo-
neuts Of Radicalism, and full at
teRdance'an and representation from
every civil district is earnestly de-
sired
The conservative democrats will
therefore appoint two delegates from
each civil district, to represent them
in the Convention. This can be done
on the 1st day of August, as county
officers will then be elected, and the
people in the various districts will
be at the polls.
We understand this arrangement
will suit everybody interested, and
is the best means of selecting tho
choice Of the people.

HENDERSON Co, July 6, 1872.
WeSSrs. Editors:
We now have as candidates to
represent Henderson county in the
next Legislature, three gentlemen
announced, all claiming to be Con-
Servatives and Democrats. This, of
course, necessitates the holding of
a convention-fOr the purpose of
nominating candidate-fer if
all remain in the field, Henderson
will certainly be represented by a
radical, which would be Notifying
indeed, if not Gsgraceful.
If two conservatives continue to
make the race, the election of either
i endangered, and the defeat of
both almost inevitable. Therefore,
with the present lights before Us,
and without expressing preference
for either candidate, and not know
ing their views and wishes, we de-
sire 20 know Of them and those de
string and intending n bc raudi-
dates, If they are willing 10 abide
the action OF Al party convention TO
bc held I'm Lexington, ON the Isl
Monday in August
a convention is ;he only road 10
success and victory, for 4 number Of
candidates insures defeat. We
therefore. ask Mcssrs. Pearson
Woods and Rethell and others who
intend to be candidates, whether or
not they will abide the action IF

Kentucky claims to be the banner
Democratic State, and will give a
rousing majority to the Greeley
Brown ticket. Georgia promises to
give Greeley fifty thousand MAORI
ty; Missouri, sixty thousand; Vir-
ginia, forty thousand; Pennsylva-
MIA, thirty thousand; New York,
fifty thousand, and so on.
All that sounds very grand, and
we hope they will all do it, as there
laid down; but unless the best of
them can double the majority they
promise, we give them warning now,
that Tennessee will claim and bear
away the honor of being the Gree
ley banner State of the South. Put
Tennessee down for at least a round
one hundred thousand majority
The total voting population of the
State-exclusive of Hancock county,
from which no return is published
is, in round numbers, 263, 702.

Greeley and Brown.

The democratic convention, which
met at Baltimore last Tuesday, did
the wisest thing they could have
done, in adopting the Cincinnati
platform and candidates. There
was really nothing else for them to
do.
There are a few honest, consci-
entious men who cannot swallow
Greeley, but with many wry faces
and tremendous efforts. We res
pect their scruples, and would not
disturb their reVeries. Can't they
take him as the dog did the Bolog-
ma sausages. For particulars, en-
quire of Col. Vaughan.

From the Chicago Tribune.

The Rev. Granville Moody is
euamored Of Grant, and draws the
follwiug domestic picture OF the
Generals early life in ST. Louis:
lie went to St. Louis in 1913, aud
took Miss. Julia R.DeHt-One of the
grandest women of the Republic
to be his wife, and in a time of pro-
found peace (lS54), resigned his
epaulets, threw up his pay, and took
to farming, tanning, and had the Of
fee Of collector in st. Louis, and
took to caressing his wife, frohck-
ing with his babies, working with
his hands, driving IA team into st.
Louis, mounted on his wagon, and
selling his half-cOrd Of wood.
According to ali previous histo-
rians, the resignation in 1881 was
hardly voluntary. 1t was Captain
Grants misfortune that at that time
he did not have his liquor mixed by
his wife.

This is all fact, but the rattlesnake
tale published last week, killed at

Read is in town now, and says it
was only five feet long, with thir-
teen rattIes, instead of seven feet
and seventeen rattles, and that he
never walked 1900 miles in hunting
for it, nor ever saw its track until
last year, that he will sue Holland
Rhodes il he don't quit slandering
his snakes. Esq. H., suggested that
it be described as being two feet
broad between the eyes, but you
know that was rather too lcide to
publish in a modest paper like the

patriotism, good counsel and sound
wisdom. In conclusion Mr.. Doc
little said:
Gentlemen, l have thus briefly
stated the situation, duties and pur-
poses which bring us here. A great
responsibility rests upon this con-
vention, if its action be such, and l
doubt not it will be, as to put an
end to the misrule which for the
last few years has afflicted our be-
loved country. This generation and
the generation to come after US will
remember with pride and gratitude

ninth of July, 1872.

plause DOolittle took his seat.

Looking over your last weeks is

Cincinnati, July 6.-The political
campaign opened here tonight by a
Liberal Republican ratification
meeting in ProbascO Place. The
meeting was respectable in size and
enthusiastic. Speeches were made
by Cassius NJ. Clay and General
Brinkerhotf. Mr.. Clay devoted
much of his time in an attack on the
foreign policy of the Grant admin
istration, dwelling largely on the
conduct of Grant and his advisers
toward the Russian government,
and condemning the course in the
most unmistakablc terms. Mr..
Clay was listened to with the clos
est attention throughout. General
Brinkerhoof followed, but 10 great
diminished numbers toward the
close, the crowd having rapidly dis
peTsed after Mr.. Clay concluded
The most notable feature of the
evening was the decided satisfac-
ton with which the audience re-
ceived illusions to Mr.. Greeley.
