The Election.

The entire Democratic Lock Box tick
ct is elected, with the exception of Latta
Alexander, independent Democrat, being
elected by quite large majority The
causes of Latta's defeat are numerous;
chief of which are, the solid negro vote
on account of his pos ition on the negro
jury question, Alexander's great personal
popularity, the tact that Latta had made
several very hot canvasses, the fact that
his former independent Democratic OPP
poncnt, w D Davis, and his Jealous
friends, canYassed the county against
him, aud lastly, that those who voted in
the Lock Box went back on their pledges,
and voted against the nominee

EnOch EnsIey for GOvernO

EmOcn EmSley 1OT UOVSrmOrs
The Brownsville States contains the
following:
while large number of prominent
citizens of our State have been men
toned as suitable candidates for the of
fee of governor, we have heard none
named with more enthusiasm tain that
of EnOch Ensley, of Shelby county.
We have known him from his boyhood
days to the present time, which finds him
in the prime of life, endowed with great
physical and mental vigor. He was born
in the county of Davidson, but in early
life cast his fortunes with the people of
West Tennessee, where he has resided for
the last twenty years. Knowing him as
we do, it is source of qualification to
see his name brought forward as our next
candidate for governor, not only on &C.
count OF boyhoOd associations, but be-
cause we hail 1T as an ernest on the part
of the people to advance the interest of
the State, and to put forward men who
have the welfare of the people at
heart. We know him to be possessed of
a high order of patriotism, and to be des-
titute of that proscriptive party spirit
which seeks. to accomplish ends of per-
sonal advantage to the detriment of the
prosperity of the people He believes
that the interests of all the people of
Tennessee are identical, and that there
should be no wrangling within our borders,
but that the time has arrived when all of
her citizens should strike hands and
place our State in that position to which
she is so justly entitled. Well and favor
ably known to the people OF West and
Middle Tennessee, he will be a strong
candidate before the convention which
meets at Nashville next August"

Dozens of strong, good men have been
suggested as suitable persons for the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
Out of so many able men we are not like
ly to get one who would not make us a
frst-rate Governor; but we do have fears
that our friends may forget that our can
didate must not only be able to make US
a good Governor, bat also strong and
successful canvass. Let the late unfor-
tunate past teach us useful lesson; let
us have strong man, whose powerful
reasoning and invincible logic will con-
vince the minds of men of the truth of
the doctrines he teaches.

oud name Of the State. whose charac-
ter is without stain, reputation is a los
ing business. No State that repudiated
its obligations ever prospered or ever viii
prosper as it otherwise would. Those
who would not recognize public obliga

shun such State and such community
as people in eastern countries shun 8

Causes of Our Want of Pros
perify.

Extract from Maj. Sykes Paris Speech
The siIqEle truth is, it is not the State
tax which is burdening OFF people and
causing them not to prosper. The causes
lie much deeper 1t is for want of a
proper diversity of labor and pursuits; for
want of manufacturing establishments to
convert our raw material, which is in so
great abundance, into manufactured arti-
cles; it is because we buy SO much abroad
that might BIS made at home; it is be
cause our men of capital do not use that
capital in improving and in enriching the
country; it is because we have so much
unavailable property yielding nothing,
either to its owners or to the State; it is
because We haye 60 many hundreds of
thousands of acres of land thai might be
in clover, or some of the valuable grasses
upon which hocks of sheep, herds of cat
tie or droves of horses might be pastured,
now going to waste and being washed in
to glllies Cor want of proper management
These are aHonS tie causes that lie at
the root of our depression, not the mere
amount of State tax paid. The State tax
is now forty cents on the hundred dollars
worth of taxable property, or four dollars
on the thousand, or forty dollars on ten
thousand. If gon reduce the State tax to
twenty cents, how mach viii be saved?
Only twenty dollars on ten Thousand, or
two dollars on a thousand What a sum
for which the great State OF Tennessee
shonld blacken her reputation forever
and becoa1e ? byword of reproach !!
EVILS or RECITATION.
Repudiation instead of lessening oar
difficulties would increase them greatly.
What ye nov need are capital, labor and
enterprise. All Of these reputation
would drive from US. We need the open
ing of more coal mines, the erection of
more manufactures and furnaces, the
bringing in of more industrious, energetic
aud thrifty immigrants, the more thor
ough cultivation of our soil, the intrOduc-
ton of a higher order Of practical and
scientific agriculture. None of these
would repudiating State ever get. Who
would be willing to come to a State where
a majority Of the people were insensible
or their obiigations7 The refusal to pay
the State debt, it would be said would
lead to a refusal to pay individual debts
A mere question of dollars and cents,
tosay nothing Of honor or the love OF the

IT will be remembered that the Demo
Gratis of Williamson indiscreetly allowed
everybody to vote In the Lock Box to
nominate their candidates. 1t turns out
that a negro, Crawford, was elected by
thirty-nine votes. The Franklin Rerislo
will not sustain him, but we cannot see
see how the Democrats can consistently
20 back on the negro, after giving him
the privilege of Trimming.

TO the Editors of The Columbia Herald



SWAN CREEK.
The Fishing Editor of the HERALD
knows experimentally, but everybody
does not, that this creek abounds in
game fish. The trout predominates.
Fishing parties, from a distance, often
visit us, and have fine sport. W. S.
Rainey, ESQ.,, of Columbia, and his sons
Joseph and Nelson. of Memphis, were
down to see us last week. We met the
party and interviewed them.
They came, they said, to escape, for a
few days, the dust and heat, the cares
and turmoils, of the town, and to enjoy
our good water and pure air, our wild
scenery and fine fishing. They camped
on the lands of w. 81. Southall, at a
good spring, and near splendid fishing
water. They caught some fine trout,
perch, and other fish. The old man OF
the party was rather severe on Horsley.
OF the HERALD. He said he was not an
experienced fisherman, but Horsley
was that Horsley was skilled in all the
mysteries of the art, and he had taken
the precaution to call on him, before he
left Columbia, and get full instructions.
And that there might be no mistakes or
failures, Horsley had loaned Linn his
educated pole and reel. Rainey said
that pole had caught fever fish than
any other in the party, and the onlv
way he could account for it was, tn
HOrsley being the greatest 7aelUS-teller
in the country, had impaired something
of his own proclivities to his pole, and
thereby the fish becoming warned OF
their danger, kept out of the way, and
thus escaped being caught, and publish
ed in the HERALD. After fishing a few
days, Joe got mighty anxious to see his
wife and baby, and his father had to go
with him. NelSe staid, and is still here.
He says he is determined to get his fill
one time of trout fishing. He has been
quite successful. 1t generally happens
that successful fishermen linger longest
on the creek banks.
WAR AND COMETS.
William Sisco lives on our creek and
is a weather-wise man. He foretelIs, by
the movements of the heavenly bodies,
the changes of the weather-when it
will rain and snOw-Whep it will be cold
and when hot-when famines and pes>
tilences and wars are to come. He
says comet made its appearance Just
before the revolutionary war, another
just before the Mexican war, and anoth-
er just before the late war between the
States-all being sent as heraIds to warn
the people of the coming events. He
says the late comet was a messenger,
sent to inform us of another impending
war; and that the fact "that it went
down wrong end foremost" is signifi-
cant of great calamities to befali the
country. Had we not better be fore
warned, and prepare to meet these great
calamitieS?
THE CROPS
on Swan are excellent. Many of the
farmers think they will make from
eight to twelve barrels of corn per acre.

 Agent Roberts was in Tucson early in January last, and in conversation with me upon the subject, admitted that so far as he ever heard, the reduction could be very properly made and ought to be.
 Having been officially connected with the surveys of MT.

Lesinsky), want to procure money for doing. 1 know that the reduc- tion asked, or any such like service, is at tended with little if any expense, and surely if with much expense, it should not be borne by enterprising men only seeking their legal rights in legal way.

 The reader will bear in mind that the following telegram is dated July and was not sent until July r. Allagents are instructed to not use the telegraph ex- cept in cases of emergency, and had Roberts committed his dispatch to the regular military mail or express from Camp Apache to Apache Pass at the time of it's date, it would have been in Washington about the day it was tele- graphed from Tucson. The envelope containing the dispatch was post-marked Tucson, July 16. We'll let the reader make the obvious application of these circumstances with reference to the nat ural timidity of Roberts when he sus- picions opposition to himself: , Photographed from Tucson July F, 1874.
