CHANGE OF PROGRAMME.
From the Athens Post, Oct. 81.

The result of the recent elections is like
" to change the Republican programme in
this State for the next campaign. It has
generally been conceded that Hon. Horace
MAJ nard would receive the nomination for
Governor. It is, however, now thought
Mr.. MAYNARD, notwithstanding his inciden-
tai success last yesr, will not care to lead
another forlorn hope, and that the
nomination viii be given to Judge Houk.
This would perhaps satisfy the Judge for
the present, and leave the scramble for the
candidacy for Congress In the second dis-
trict to Col. Thornburgh, o. P. Temple
ard John B. Brownlow. In the event
matters could not be satisfactorily adjusted
between these, then Mr.. Maynard would be
in an excellent condition to step in and Sc
cure the race to himself. or course, a
nomination In the second district
would be about equivalent to an
election-unless Col. Charlton, who
is said to have some aspirations, should
take fancy to run as an Independent,
which, with his well known ability and
force as public speaker and bis great per-
sonal popularity, would make the canvass
lively and interesting, If it did not eventu-
ate in the defeat of the party nominee. 1t
may be further remarked in this connec-
ton, that should Judge Houk, who has not
yet been sounded On the subject, manifest
decided Discrimination to take the race, the
nomination for Governor will probably be
rendered Col. John Baxter, who, although
he is not in full sympathy with the party,
is said to be anxious for an opportunity to
canvass the State. = -
These are no inspirations or speculations
of ours, but simply deductions from re-
cent conversation with q citizen of Knox
vile who occasionally honors us with a
call. We give them to the reader without
attaching any particular importance to
them, though we think it possible they are
not entirely without foundation.

LOCALIZED FLEECING

Even out in the dense forests of Ore gon
they find time to abuse that national YAM.
pire, the banking law. The strongest mode
OF illustrating its folly that we have met
we clip as follows from the Salem Mer.
cu1y:
s'Suppose some capitalist were to publish
an advertisement in substance like this:
sMoney to lend and interest paid TO the
borrower" Do you not think that sn ad-
vertisement Ike this would speedily bring
6 host Of borro Tere TO the counting room
of the advertiser? We propose to show
that tie Government and people stand TO-
ward the National Banks in just the atti-
tude that this supposed advertiser would
occupy towards his customers. The Gov
eminent now lends its credit and money to
the National Banks, and pays them interest
on the loan so made. Of course there is
no such foolish capitalist as the one first
supposed. There can be found nobody on
earth so stupid, except our Government
"tbe best Government on earth"-'under
Radical rule" True, it is not every one
who can obtain such favor of the Govern
ment: 1t is confined to the faithful few, who
enjoy il at The expense of the many"
Yet this is exactly what our two thou
sand National Banks ara doing. They have
received from the Government near $780,
100000 Of currency printed, etc, at Govern
ment expense, On which they collect from
1! to 2 psr cent. interestsper month from
their customers, while al the time the
Government, j. E., the taxpayers, are CIV
ing them interest on the same 100000.

"THE GREATEST OF THESE Is
CHARITY


The very liberal offer made by the Off
GERS Of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and Memphis and Charleston Rail-
roads, to convey contributions of provisions,
fuel, ETC., to Memphis, free of charge, for
the relief of the thousands of homeless,
starving pCor Of that city, has placed il
within the power of our citizens through
out East Tennessee to help in relieving the
distress of our sister city, with but small
cost and slight inconvenience to themselves.
Let the citizens of every village and station
along the line of railroad, meet at once and
organize committees to solicit contributions
of -four, meal, corn, bacon, beans, potatoes,
butter, clothing and any other article that
can be made available for the relief of the
sufferers, and as fast as received take them
to the depots and ship direct to the Citi-
zens' Relief Committee of Memphis, taking
the receipt of the road for the articles, and
inclosing it by mail TO the same address.
There are no farmers 80 poor along our
railroad but that they can spare q bag of
potatoes or a few bushels of corn. Think
of it, A contribution of five bushels of
corn will furnish bread for five fer two
months, whilst bag Of beans will make
soup for thousand. Let all our people
come up nobly to the work and do their
duty in the matter. Recolect, Memphis
has always been foremost In acts of charity
to her sister cities when visited by pestiIence
and famine, and when q few years ago East
Tennessee was suffering from the raVages of
war, the whole country nobly came to our
relief. Let the ministers and elders of all
the churches call the attention of their con-
gregations to this opportunity of practicing
that charity commended by our Savior, and
without which we are Shut as sounding
brass" KnoruiLEe Press and Herald.

| The Athens Post states that Saturday
night, Oct. 25th, John Carson, Esq, Of
MadisonVille, ate hearty supper and walk
ed to the Presbyterian Church, distant
about half a mile, took his seat and was
dead in two minutes. He had been suffer.
ing for some time with q disease Of the
heart.
The Morristown Gazette of the 29tk ult.
has the following: Hog cholera has made its
appearance in this county in very virulent
form, being particularly fatal on the French
Brost and Chucky river farms. A. j.
Foreman, living at the old Hamilton place,
in this county, we understand has lost in
two weeks, $50 very fine hogs. James
Hale and SOD, out of lot of 800 head, at
last accounts lost 200.
The Athens Post of Oct. 81 says: Our
merchants generally have received their
supplies of fall and winter goods, and not
Withstsnding the stringency in money mat
tiers, most Of them appear to be doing a
pretty fair business. Trade in produce,
however, continues dull. There is a very
heavy crop both of corn and peas in the
county, with less, perhaps, than the usual
number of hogs fattening. From the best
Information we can obtain, we think it will
be found when the wheat market opens
again that there is considerable surplus Of
that article still in the county.
To what extremity of prosaic sensibility
will the utilitarianism if this age lead? A
correspondent of the Memphis .ApDenl
would turn beautiful conception to a
common charity. he writes: GAS a
reader of your paper, see and appreciate
the suggestion of monument to comment
crate the noble sacrifice of her life by Miss
Matte Stevenson, and would suggest that,
instead of monument at Elmwood, fund
be raised sufficient TO build an addition to
the Leath orphan asylum, to be known as
the Matte Stevenson memorial asylum"
No suspension of banks or scarcity of
currency has been able to thwart the de-
signs of charity. The Knoxville Press and
Herald says: The Knoxville Iron Compa-
ny, through Maj. W. r. futile, Vice Pres
ident and Treasurer, has donated one hun
dred tons of coal for the Memphis sufferers.
This noble act has been promptly supple
mented by Hon. G. NJ. McGhee, President
of the Knoxville and Ohio and Vice Presi-
dent of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Companies, agreeing to
carry the coal without charge, and that the
Memphis and Charleston Company will
act likewise, is assured by all who know
Capt. Jaques' great-hesrted liberality.

TIE following from the Richmond Wing,
50 fully expresses our sentiments that we
adopt it in lieu Of anything we could write
on the subject, and IS we have many men
-counterparts of &. w. Hughes, the reader
can substitute any one Of them for said
name:
THE OLD WINGS AND DEMOCRATS.
We have long since ceased to remember
the political differences that divided our
people prior TO the war between the two
great patriotic and national parties that then
existed. In the selection of agents to
serve the Commonwealth we look alone to
the present position of men and their Ca
pacity to efficiently serve us, and il re-
liable, faithful and true we care not to
know whether in other days they fol-
lowed the flag of glorious old "Harry
of the West" or sang pesns in honor Of
that noble patriot, the hero of New Orleans.
Lee and Johnston were Wings, jackson
and Beauregsrd Democrats. Side by side
Wings and Democrats advanced upon the
invading foe in defense of their beloved
State, and in one common stream their life
blood mingled libation freely offered
upon the altar of their country. The Con-
servatives of to-day are the Democrats and
Wings of the olden time, cemented into az
holy brotherhood for one common purpose
10 preserve the Commonwealth, their hber-
ties, homes and affairs from the grasp of
those whose touch is deflement and whose
triumph would bring ruin, disgrace and
death. Old Democrats, can it be that
there is one amongst you who would so dis
honor himself as to prefer Robert W.
Hughes, who has abandoned the faith
of bis fathers, deserted his friends and
turned bis. back upon bis race, to the gal
liant, noble and true-hearted Kemper, who
has ever kept the faith, and been true to
his State. Aye, in the darkest hours of heI
adversely no Federal pAtI onage could
tempt bis allegiance, for Virginia was ever
first in bis affections. Old Wings, to you we
feel that we have special privilege to ap-
neal, for with you we acted, and never de-
serted your colors until the boom of the
enemy's guns were heard echoing and re-
echoing throughout the land, and all parties
were abandoned for our country. But no;
no sppeal can he wanted, for it would be an
insult to suppose that any Wing, ever
worthy the name, could fall SO low as to
hecome q follower of the champion OF the
negro party, the leader OF The carpet-pag
adyenturers and the scalawags OF the Stsse'

THE CUMBERLAND GAP ROAD.

From the Morr.stown Gazette Of Oct. 29,
we learn that the construction of the old
projected Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston Railroad, has been actively re-
sumed through North Carolina, where, for
some time, the opposition of the Governor
has retarded it. Some time since the South
ern Security Company bought up all the
old claims hanging over the Eastern Divis-
ion of the North Carolina road. The Gov
ernor thought it bis duty to protect the
bonds of the road, as they were first mort
gages,put up in Northern markets as collat-
erals. The Southern Security Company
have since bought all these bonds,
and now hold them. In
the meantime the Western Divi-
sion of the road, that portion of it running
from Old Fort to Wolfe creek, was sold, IN
der judgment and purchased BY the South
ern Security Company. About this trans
action there has been no difficulty or EN-.
barrassment. The Southern Security Com
pany then got a decree from the United
States District Court for foreclosure sale
the Eastern division of the road. The Gov.
ernor thereupon took an appeal to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and
here the matter has been tied up to the
great detriment of the public interests.
Maj. Rollins, an active railroad man, largely
interested in the portion of the line from
Wolf Greek to Old Fort, informs our Nor
ristown contemporary that the Governor
has withdrawn his appeal to the Supreme
Court and offers no further embar-
rassment to the building Of the road. There
il now the strangest reasons to believe that
work on the entire line, from Cumberland
Gap to Asheville, will be commenced at an
early day-certainly during the coming
year.
Maj. Rollins also states that the Asheville
and Spartsnburg Railroad Company would
organize on the 30th ult., and have agreed
to consolidate with the continuation of the
Cumberland Gap road, and push it right
through. Thirty miles of the road from
Spartanburg in the direction of Asheville
hsve been already put under contract. 1t
is but sixty miles rom Asheville to Spar
tsnburg, where it connects with the Spar
tsnburg road to Columbia. This is also
owned by the Southern Security Company,
and is 8 line of great interest, as it insures
direct outlet to Charleston, Augusta and
Savannah.

THE New York World has this disres.
pectful allusion to the Presidents great
financial scheme: "Grant's plan for resum-
ing specie payments at least in silver has
already in one short week fizzled down to a
five dollar basis. The Secretary of the
Treasury pays out silver in small change,
but not more than s. in silver to one credit
or. Grants fiscal policy is a miracle. Even
its emptiness undergoes skrinkage."

qualifications for their profession compared
with those abroad, AMI That the efficiency of
our schools would increase by enlarging the
proportion of male teachers.

Indian society, with secret rules and pass

Cherokee nationality, not by unlawful
