A California Hero.

Many years ago there emigrated to
California a shrewd fellow named
Meiggs, who, taking the world as it is
and not as it ought to be, accumulated
large fortune by chicanery and double
dealing. His favorite plan of operation
was drawing large amounts on forged
checks. With his ill-gotten gains Mr..
Ieiggs went to Chill and there added
to his store, for he is a man of thrift.
From Chilli, where he impoverished the
country building railroads at fabulous
prices, he went to Peru and there did
likewise. His wealth is counted by
millions.
During all his wanderings he has had
a seft place in his shrewd heart for Cal
ifOrnia. He had no doubt heard of
Credit MObilier, Goat Island and the
fabulous sums paid out for building the
Pacific road. Much as he made from
the Spanish Americans, he thought he
could have done better if he had been a
partner of Cakes Ames, Colfax, Sar-
geant, Bill Steward s. Co. But there
was an obstacle in his way. Indict-
ments for forgery hung over him. Ii
he could buy up the California Legisla-
ture perhaps he could do something to
remove those ugly documents. He had
paid off those he had wrOnged; but that
was no bar to the trial for felony, which
only required his presence for being in
augurated. So he makes raid on the
Legislature and gets a relief bill passed.
which Gov. Booth, however, vetoed.
But the California Legislature loves a
rich man as much as Byron hated a
dumpy woman, and we suppose, from
the result, that they have seen the color
Of Mr.. Meiggs' money, for the bill has
pissed, Notwithstanding the veto. Mr.
Neiggs will return to the Golden Gate,
and, it is not improbable, will succeed
Sergeant in the United States Senate.

State Senator.

Mr.. EDITORIALS we failed to elect a
democratic Senator two years ago, it
will not be urged, we presume, that we
forfeited by that failure the right, ac-
cording to the arrangement with the
other counties of the district, to select
the candidate for the next term. The
name of our Judge L. B. Logan has
been for some weeks prominently and
very favorably before the people for
that office.
In bringing him forward his friends
have no disposition to ignore the prac-
tice heretofore existing, and indeed be-
lieve that they have acted in accordance
with it, and believing him TO be the
right man in the right place, hope the
voters of the Senatorial district, proper
" approaching his high qualifications
for the Office, will give him a united
and hearty support. Should the other
counties of the district, however, OPP
pose the matter, a convention might
be called to meet at Lawrenceburg to
settle the question, and our convention
next Monday at Pulaski should take
the proper steps in the premises. With
regard to the Pictorial district, our right
to that office for the next term Is con-
coded, and a nomination will be made
by our convention.
The prestige of success is with the
Democratic party, and let US improve
the opportunity to select men for the
several offices who are good and true
and well qualified. Let the people in
their primary meetings next Saturday
show themselves alive to their interests
and meet together at the hour of ,
O'Clock Z. NJ, as designated by the Ex-
ecutive Committee, and see that they
are properly represented in the County
Convention, and show themselves deter
mined to war against all rings and
cliques looking to the interest of the
few against the many. RUSTIC.

For the Legisiature.


Mr. EDITOR :&By authority in me
vested by George Washington and Gen
eral JacksOn-by the declaration of in
dependence and the Constitution Of Ten
nessee, | hereby announce myself as
candidate to represent the good people
of Giles county in the next General As
Sembly OF the State. l have for long
time been consenting in my own mind
to serve the people and have been wait
ing for some of my friends 70 solicit me
with ''call; ;" but having despaired of
their being awakened to a proper appre-
citation of my merit, am unable longer
to stand the pressure, and therefore
make this announcement.
In becoming a candidate, allow me,
sir, to lay down my ''flat-form" of prin-
ciples:
LIST. l am in favor of every man pay
ing his honest debts when he has the
money to spare for that purpose.
2. 1 am in favor of large exemptions
of property to the poor and INDECENT.
3. / am in favor OF making the wealth
OF the country support by taxation the
expenses of the government incurred
in its protection.
i. am in favor of allowing every
person to make his own viii, and to dis
pose of his hard-eaTnings without the
iiltCl NCuLloh VI i1ISl iC1ChCC VI all
court.
5. am in favor of making our laws
so plain that any honest farmer can
read and understand them without hav-
ing to pay a lawyer to read and inter
pref for them.
6. / am in favor OF allowing the Mag
istrates of the county to serve upon all
the juries, and eXempting them from
working upon public roads as cOmpen-
satiOn for their services.
z. | am in favor of multiplying the
public offices and increasing the fees so
that all our worthy aspirants may be ac-
commodated and grow rich.
l am opposed,
LIST. To Lawyers and Doctors having
anything to do with the Legislation of
the country.
,. l am opposed to the Chancery
Court, and am i'll favor of hanging the
Chancellor and his subOrlinates.
3. l am opposed to iails and peniten-
tiaries, and am in favor of moral sua-
sion and the whipping post.
4. / am opposed to licenses, first Mon
days and jQckey-yards.
And lastly, 1 am opposed to forcing
an office upon an unwilling can lidate.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if the citizens OF
Giles county are pleased with the prln-
ciples herein enunciated, let them cast
their votes at the November election.

The Shadow and the substaD

/ The Shadow and the Substance,
The Banner, bless her old waYwarJ

awhile, she comes back under the string.
and goes steady" We reprint below
IN editorial from the Banner of Saturday
18th, which has the ring of true metal
about it, every word of which we en-
dorse and adopt:
We observe that some discussion is
springing up among Conservatives about
party nomenclature again. Some de-
light to be called Democrats, because,
individually, perhaps, in the absence OF
other all-cOnvincing virtues, Sin hoe
sigEO UiRcss." Others do not like to be
called Democrats, and distress them
selves with the fancy that they are be-
ing handcuffed with an eXtraneous and
irreievent shibbOleth. Wei, well. II
does not amount to much. a satisfac-
tory compromise can be reached, no
doubt, at the christening on the 18th, at
the Capitol. In what is called the Con-
sentative party Of the State, there are as
many Wings as Democrats. Before the
war, the Wing party had come to be
known as the Conservative party. 4
good many of these Conservatives died
IN the war, in the conception of which
they were innocent. After the war, the
Conservative party in this State and in
Virginia arose again-the Union being
again restored. They made one cam
moi in yrVRflaFs thu. 1aa1 IF,
illustriOus Conservative of the old re-
gime-Emerson Etheridge. 1t failed,
by reason of the franchise law of the
Radicals. Then came the election OF
Senter, with Conservative Legislature,
so-called. The Democrats then put ia a
claim for a share in the label, aud IL
somehow got 10 be called the ConserVa-
tive and Democratic party. Then some
old Conservative and old Wing candi-
dates begin to proclaim, 81 am a Demo
erat." They thought the Conservatives
were disposed to crowd the Democrats,
and thus mildly protested. Then it was
called the Democratic party, plain
with Greeley and Brown first choice for
President and Vice-President. Thus
hOnOrs are easy all round. COnserva-
tive, in its latter-day acceptation,
means heather Democrat nor Wing. 1t
is fair enough compromise, If Invested
Of differences that are merely nominal
and altogether trivial. Whatever name
will carry the most weight-let the
state Convention adopt. Thus far, the
Democrats have been getting the best of
the name and the Conservatives the best
of the offices. But for the agency about
the name, there might be a more equit-
able distribution of epaulcttes. and a
calmer consideration of issues and ideas
that are real and vital. The substantial
thing the people are just now concerned
about is good government and ecOnomi-
cal government, with capable and con-
s2ientiOus citizens to administer it. Not
aspiring to the exclusive organising OF
any party or any name, the Banner is
heart and soul with the people in the
effort to give Tennessee a good govern
ment, and the masses of its inha bitants
relief from unnecessary burdens OF
taxation.
