THE Postoffice department seems likely
to soon increase its supply of postal cards
to meet the demand. The Washington
Chronicle of the 10th says:
The Postoflice department shipped 706,-
900 postal cards Saturday. Arrangements
are perfected so that the department eX-
pects to be able to furnish million cards
q day, which it is thought will fully sup
ply the demand. The delay thus far has
been caused by the demand being so much
larger than was anticipated.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times, evidently a Northern man, writes
from Birmingham, Alabama, of his trip to
that point from New York. He travelled
through Virginia and East Tennessee and
says he has improved numerous opportu-
mites to mingle with people and they talk
about everything but politics, are general
ly cheerful, and towards Northern men are
frank, open, cordial, and are thoroughly
adapted to the situation with respect to the
colored population, while the colored pop
ulation are equally cheerful and content
ed"
Our people are just now concerned a
great deal more about their crops and the
best way to build up East Tennessee than
they are about politics. They want more
population and more capital, and Northern
people will find as cordial welcome in
Knoxville as they will find in New York.

AT the Confederate memorial exercises
held at Baltimore on Tuesday, the notorious
Wigfall, once Senator at Washington from
the State of Texas, was called upon for a
speech, in which he consoled himself with
the idea that if his cause was lost
cause" the spirit that maintained it still
exists. He was so rebellious, that some of
the more prudent participants in the exer-
cises, got committee to make report for
the purpose of choking him off.

ABOUT the best advice we can give to
our readers near where cholera is epidemic,
is to keep cool, keep in good humor and
don't think about the disease. There is
no doubt but that fear and excitement
helps to carry off the afflicted. Be prudent
in diet, clearly in person, and calm and
possessed mentally and one-half the vic
tory is won.

ONE of the chivalry of Memphis wants
to let out little of the blood Of Ken
tuckian who recognizes the Code. They
lately met on the street in Memphis and
were introduced. The Kentuckian on
hearing the name of the Memphis man
took him for an old opponent and went
for him in the "heathen Chineep style.
A correspondence has been kept up since.
A fight now seems probable judging from
the following special to the Banner, dated
Memphis, 10th, 1t says:
"NOthing definite has up to this time
transpired relative to the Cole Winter
smith mooted duel. 1t is known, however
that a prominent gentleman of this city
left on an early train to-day for the State
line, where he will meet the Wintersmith
party and endeavor, if possible, TO arrange
the misunderstanding amicably. Up to
the time of his departure the correspon-
dence telegraphed and otherwise has failed

suggested point Of meeting

THE Memphis appeal is kind enough to
give Knoxville gratuitous advertisement
in republishing the Banners lie about the
panic and prevalence of cholera in Knox
vile. Will the Banner make known its
authority for that cruel and entirely false
report? 1t has done Knoxville vast deal
of harm and it owes our people some bet
ter explanation than it has thus far given
of why it was published.
OF the deaths in Nashville, the appeal
says:
The people of Nashville have surrender
ed themselves to their fears, and result is
that ten thousand have left for other
points, no doubt carrying the disease with
them, leaving those who remained behind
to become the prey of an almost decimat-
ing disease; as we have said, aggravated by
fear amounting TO panic. Yesterday the
deaths there amounted to the terrible figure
of II, nearly one-fouTth of one per cent. of
the population of Nashville and Edgefield
combined, setting that down at $4,000

THE loss ofvaluable sheep by good far
mer of our county, set forth in another
column, will, we hope, afford some salts
dog, who prefer them to good sheep. A
long, lank, slick, "yaller dog" for pet
about the farm house is about the most ex-
pensive luxury the farmers enjoy. They
are such beautiful pets, too, that we are not
surprised some prefer them to lambs. They
are pleasant to have about in fly time,
Dogs or sheep will be the battle cry of the
next farmers convention. Let the far
mers' clubs turn loose on them.

BROTHER PRICE, of the H olston lIetho
dist, has an editorial on ministerial Pru-
dence," in which the following occurs:
Wesley was good judge of human ma
ture as well as fine moralist, when he adj
vised his preachers to converse sparingly
with women" How this prudent advice
stands in contrast with the department of
some gallant 9irt-kissialg preachers of
modern times, who spend more time in
romping and Cabling with fast ladies than
in visiting 1.-THE fatherless and widow in
their affiiction," and in taking heed to the
flock over which the Holy Ghost has made
them overseers.
These gallant girl-kissing preachers of
modern times" complained of in the
MethodiSt, must be something anomalous,
or we have not observed as closely as
Brother Price has.

WE have not yet learned what answer
Gov. Brown expects to return to the Com
missioners Of Agriculture in reply to their
curt resolution, that it is none of mis-
business how much money they pay out
to the Rural Stn, editors for salaries. If
we could get a chance to whisper into the
Governors ear we would say to him, that
the farmers don't take much stock in the
concern and that he will make more
friends among them by roofing out the fat
salaried fellows who hardly know a har-
row from threshing machine, than he
will lose by pocketing their insult.
Farmers who work hard all year in the
field are hardly able to sympathize with
Killebrew in his tears over the 'little"
$4,000 salary he is drawing for tanning
himself in the shade of the Capitol. We
know three or four farmers who would
compromise quick on that salary. They
wouldn't cry about it, either.

IT is distressing to see with what little
effect the Democratic editors have worked
upon their brethren in Congress, upon the
back pay business. OF the thirty-two
Congressman who covered their extra pay
into the Treasury, only seven were Demo-
Gratis. They either do not read their pa
pers or have scared consciences.

The Banner, of the 18th, saws:

The Ba'aneT, of the 18th, says:
There is no question about the spread of
the disease into almost every part of the
city. The fact was painfully developed
yesterday.
All those having children now passing
through this their second summer are leav-
ing on their account. Many physicians
have advised this course from the fact that
the summer complaint, usual to children
of that age, is likely to run into regular
diarrhea and perhaps cholera.

COLUMBUS, July 29.-The indications
are that the Liberal Allen county
convention tomorrow will not be so
large as anticipated. Up to this time
Representatives from thirty-twO counties
have arrived. The Liberal Republicans
held a caucus tonight. w. b. Sloan, Of
Ottawa county, acted as chairman. The
evening was spent in the interchange Of
opinions as TO the prospects Of success in
this new party movement, and while
all of the speakers of course hoped
for success, several Of the most promi-
nent among them declared they did not
expect success this year, but were will
ing to wait for the future. Resolu-
tiOns indorsing the action Of the
Liberal State executive committee in
changing the time for the meeting OF
the Liberal convention from the time
first selected, were introduced. After
a long discussion they were laid
on the table. A number of speakers
argued that the time had come when
q distinct organization should be
abandoned, and the following resolution
was adopted:
Resoyoed, That we heartily join with
the Democrats of Allen county and all
others who choose TO participate to form
new party to deal with the living is
sues of the day, and unite with them in
the adoption of a platform and the nom
ination of a ticket. Colonel Lowe, Of
Dayton, in the course Of his remarks IA
voring this new party movement, said
he was fully satisfied from personal
knowledge that Senator Thurman was,
at heart, in favor of this new party,
but didn't openly say so because
he felt that he was impotent
TO bring up the masses Of the Democrat
ic party to his support. Colonel Lowe
said he hoped some bigh-minded Demo
crat would be chosen TO head the ticket
to be nominated tomorrow. This SEN
timent was heartily applauded. The
indications are that either Chiffon A.
White, Of Brown county, or Judge Col
Inns, of Cincinnati--both Democrats
will be nominated for governor.

Elsewhere we print the preliminary
proceedings Of tine convention which as
sembled at Jackson yesterday for the
purpose of inaugurating the new State
movement. But little was done beyond
the selection of permanent officers and
the appointment of committees to cut
out work for the convention. OF the
gentlemen selected to serve as
officers, the best known are
the president, Kenneth Rsyner,
now of Mississippi, but formerly of North
Carolina, where years ago and during
the war he figured prominently in poll
tics; and Milton Brown, who has been
identified with West Tennessee from its
infancy, and during a long and useful
career has filled many offices Of great re-
sponsibility-among them that Of judge
Of the circuit, or law court, and presi-
dent Of the Mobile and Ohio railroad.
The other gentlemen named oc-
cupy prominent positions as journalists
or lawyers in their respective localities.
Pertinent to the subject, and with
view Of helping our readers to under
stand the scope and value of the move
ment, we have collated the following
statistics, additional to that we gave on
Sunday, showing the race popula-
ton of the several counties in Kentucky,
Mississippi and Tennessee embraced in

erty in each county and Of their annual
