Camp, j. b. Hoxsie, A. Terry and C. Cof-

After retiring for consultations the COM

THE NEXT GUBERNATORIAL RACE.
Ex.President Johnson the coming Man


The Memphis AUalanchc has been at q
white heat ever since the passage of the
funding bill by the Legislature. Some
people say that it is only writing up ANDY
johnson for the next Gubernatorial race
Others say it is only writing down Ten
nessee bonds in the interest of railroads.
Here is the latest from it, and our readers
may judge for themselves:
An East Tennessee paper, commenting
on an Avalanche suggestion, doubts if t A.
Johnson, of Greeneville," is a candidate
Tor Governor. OF course he is not. He
belongs TO the class whom offices seek
ana whenever the people desire him for a
leader he will be found at the front. The
1undlng question is the coming issue in
tennessee, and no man is so well qualified
as the ex-President to lead the anti-fund-
ers to victory --a- ~ al.. - - -.
The Appeal thinks the ex-President in
opposition to Gov. Brown is the objective
point of the AUdLdnche, and saws:
There is so much said about this funding
bill that Is unnecessary-sO much that Is
foreign to its spirit and purport, that we
think it looks to the formation of a new
party" rather than the protection of the
interests OF the people. 1t looks as if II
were intended to make of this test ques-
ton upon which the Conservatives and
Democrats of the State are to he divided.
III order that Gov. Brown may be beaten
down and exPresident johnson rise tri-
umphantly to the surface again. That's
all there is in this rumpus about funding.
If that is all there is in it, the rumpus"
will prove interesting.

The Maine Democrats.

The Maine Democrats, says the
Courier, following the lead of the
Democracy of Ohio, have nominat-
ed a straight party ticket, with
Joseph Titcomb as Governor, and
unanimously adopted the resolu-
tons of the Ohio Democratic Con-
vention. The Convention was
largely attended, and those present,
gathered from every part OF the
State, evinced determination to
make a gallant fight under the old
banner. The resolutions are index
es of Democratic faith, asserting
the centralizing and corrupting
dangers of toryism, and sternly de-
manding instant return to the Re-
publicanism of our fathers. There
is no talk about new departures,
new names or new parties, discov-
cries of new principles adapted to
modern wants. There is no propo-
sition to tinker the old Constitution
to adapt it to party purposes; nor
is there a word about repeating the
ten commandments, that crimes
may be legalized in high places and
the people robbed with impunity
in low places. The Democrats of
Maine ask no cooperation of
leagues, combinations or third par
ties, but propose, in the good old
way, to fight the fight. Maine and
Ohio are now in line under the old
banner. 1t remains for the other
States which hold elections this fall
TO show their colors, and by their
votes show the country whether
Democracy is but a name.
La Maine, there is a partial
breaking up of the Republican par
ty, which has manifested itself in
several county conventions, and
threatens the nomination of third
ticket under the reform movement.
In Penobscot county call, unan-
imously signed by Republicans dis
satisfied with the present Admins
tration, has been issued for q con-
vention, "to determine the course
to be pursued in relation to the
nomination of Governor and county
officers" The call takes issue with
the Administration on question OF
tariff, the National bankrupt law,
corruption in the Administration,
party management, etc. 1t may
not be impossible that third ticket
is in the field befor October.

husband. Mr.. Hodges was once
wealthy, but his property slipped
from his possession on account of
his Incorporate habits. The suit,
owing to the large claim for DANA
ges eXcites much interest.

Lightning Rod :.

To old Ben Franklin we are in
debtcd for the discovery of the
fact that points carry away cleo
tricity silently. The prime con-
ductor of an electrial machine can
not be charged with electricity, nor
can the Leyden jar, if a point be
held near it, nor can either be
charged when supp led with
sharp point. From this he drew q
very safe conclusion, thlt buildings
with sharp points cannot become
charged with electricity, and hence
cannot be struck. But, you say,
many buildings supplied with rods
constructed after the latest designs
have been struck aud destroyed,
and this occurs every year. 1t is
a melancholy truth, but it is not to he
wondered at, when we reflect that
one half think may safely say
nine-tenths of the rods put up and
now in use, violate the fundament-
al principles upon which their eff
cheney depends.
First. The rods should be con-
tinuous, or if there are joints, they
should be well and firmly fastened
so as to allow the free passage Of a
silent current of electricity; for,
be it remembered, the prime OBJ
ject of the rod in all cases is to pre-
vent any accumulation of electrici-
city in or about the building, which
accumulation alone is the cause
why buildings are ever struck.
Second. The rod should go
down to permanently wet or moist
earth, or as deep as we would have
TO dig for water. Most rods how
ever go down no more than two or
three feet.
Third. They should be made Of
good conducting metals. Plati-
mum is best, but is almost as cost
ly as gold. The only two metals
worth considering are copper and
iron. OF these copper is vastly
preferable, as q copper rod OF a Civ
en- diameter will carry away about
eight times as much electricity as
an iron rod Of the same size.
Fourth. The rod should be Of
sufficient size to carry off the
charge without being melted if il
should be struck. If the rod is OF
iron it should not be less than one
half an inch in diameter. If cop
per is used one fifth of an inch in
diameter is sufficient.
Fifth. It matters not what form
the rod may have. 1t may be fat,
round, sqaure or hollow, it is all
the same. Electricity in motion
does not chose the surface but pre-
vades the entire substance of the
conductor through which it passes.
IL must however be strong enough
so ~ to b, elevated few feet
above the building which IL is de-
slime | TO protect.
