GRANTS disgraceful conduct to-
wards the South Carolina delegation,
and the utter indifference of Congress
to any Radical tyranny over the South,
has emboldened its tools in Arkansas to
seize by force, the government ofAr-
kansas. defying the courts and every
principle of political justice. Can moth
staying the vandalism ofthe administra-
ton party? Is the South, as an integral
part of the Union forever to remain
the passive victim of Puritan hate I?
Nothing short of assurances of aid
from Washington could have embold-
ened the willing tools ofGrant's tyran-
ny to ejectforcibly, the recognized Gov
ernor from his office and toholdit with
the aid of an armed mob. We have no
space for details, and shall await, with
anxiety, the action at Washington.

political affairs in the State of Tennes-

conservative element for the purpose,
in the national government, of over
throwing the present corrupt and
venal administration, and in the State
of Tennessee. of preserving and per-

WE notice in the GAINESVILLE papers
that there is considerable interest
manifested respecting the location of
a University, which the Presbyteries
of the Southwest have determined to
establish. Huntsville, Ala, Clarks-
vile and Jackson, TENN, seem to be
the principal points mentioned in con-
nection with the location. We know
but little of the claims of Huntsville
or Jackson in reference to the matter !;
but, knowing, as we do, the many at
fractions aud superior advantages Of
Clarksyille. and believing that place
to be the most suitable in the bounds
of the Presbyteries indicated, we ven.
tRre to express tho hope that it will
secure the location. We believe that,
if first-class University were estab.
lished at GAINESVILLE, it would receive
a large patronage from Southern Ken
tucky.-Bolcing Green Democrat.

SAVE YOUR
FRUIT TREES
BY USING
DeMOSS'
Compound Wash
ad FOR BORERS.


This Compound is a sure remedy, and is
OF great benefit TO the trees. Nearly every
farmer possessing an orchard has more or
less trees killed every year by these pests,
and the iruit wilted or dried on the trees,
the Borers extracting the sap needed to
mature it, Read what Mr.. DeMoss' neigh
bors say about this preparation:
We, the undersigned, are well acquainted
with u. r. DeMoSS, and have often seen and
admired his beautiful orchard; also know
that he has been washing his trees with
some Compound which has greatly i'm
proved them, both in beauty and growth !;
making the bark as smooth and as rich as
that on a scion and from q close examina-
ton are perfectly satisfied that his Com
pound is all that he claims il to be-a SAFE
and sure remedy for the Borers that are
destroying so many fruit trees in our
country. Thiswe know to be the case by
com pairing washed with unwashed trees in
the same orchard. The latter, which were
but a few feet from the former, we found to
be either ruined or dead. A look into his
orchard will convince any man of the
Wash. We consider 1t indispensable to any
one raising fruit trees of any kind.
Benz. Luce. l.. Kibbee,
John Baugh. James I.aCount,
and large number of others,
We, the undersigned citizens of Hopkins
County, KY, having seen the orchard of
ZenO +. DeMOss, Pleasanton, Kansas pro-
lest we ever saw. We know him to be an
honorable and upright gentleman.

JUDGING from the extent of the cir
culation given to the foolish declaration
ofthe New York Herald, that imitation
of the currency means civil war, one
would suppose that the East and the
West are "spiling" for fight. The
ring of Eastern capitalists, fearing to
lose their capital and the power it
yields, through the rapid growth of
the West, in population and wealth,
will buster and bully with the hope of
soaring somebody, but the idea of 60
ing to greater lengths is never dream
ed of in their philosophy. In such a
struggle there would be no negro
slavery to madden the masses at home,
or to draw recruits from Europe. Old
John Browns soul may be marching
on, but not to the abolition of green
backs in the West, in order that bank
monopolies and tariff benefciaries, in
the East, may coin more capital out of
the sweat of the producing classes.
The western men who foolishly enlist
ed under New England's banner, to
enforce, in the South, New England's
fanaticalideas, are not the material with
which the Puritans would seek to CRAP
pie, in a struggle, for the contraction
of currency. Whilst we are NO inha
ZIONIST, but prefer return to specie
basis, we see not by what process of
induction, imitation can be made le-
Ultimate casHs beW. But if either
faction, aided by the Herald, arrive at
the conclusion, that civil war is the
only solution of the question, we, of
the South, will be apt to bear in mind,
that it is no fight of ours, and be con-
tent to wish success to both bclliger-
ents in their fool-killing campaigns.
In such a fight. the fate of the Killken-
ney cats, will prove a blessing to this
country and to civilization. The Her
aid is notorious for its sensational out
givings, but this last effort is simply
| foolish.

A STRONG pressure is brought to
bear upon Grant to secure his veto of
the currency bill-so at least rumor
says. But, to judge of the pressure,
we must know the amount of green
backs offered. Enough of these will,
not only buy his veto, but his soul, if
he has one.

THE CANVASS FOR CONGRESS-.

We published, last week, an account
of mass meeting, in Uheatham Conn
ty. the most interesting feature of
which, is the clear announcement that
our townsman, John, F. House, is the
choice of the people of that county to
represent this District, in the next
Congress. Ifevery county in the Dis
trict will do likewise, we shall have
candidate without convention, or the
complex machinery of primary cleo
ton, and, asthe spontaneous expression
of popular preference, nomination in
this way, will have all the force and
effect attainable by any other form of
proceeding. AS man of exalted
worth, socially, and of great intellec-
ual power, Col. House will. we doubt
not, be acceptable to the entire Dis
trlct, and if made the standard bearer,
by a succession of mass meetings, we
opine that there are but few men in
the District who will care to try con-
illusions with him, either ON the
stump, or at the ballot-box. And in
consequence of the divided condition
of public opinion, as to the better
mode of indicatingcan for Office,
we incline to the belief that the step
taken, in Cheatham, indicates the
safest solution of the vexed question,
and should Montgomery follow in the
same direction, the movement will
have assumed an Importance not likely
to be overlooked by the other counties
interested. A united opposition and
quiet canvass will pour oil upon the
the troubled waters and lead to closer
uuion in the future, than can be attained
by the most signal victory-following
an excited and angry struggle.
Since the foregoing was written, the
people of Houston county, in mass
convention, have followed suit, in de-
claring Col. House their first choice
for Congress. The proceedings may
be found in another column, and we
commend them for the harmony and
unselfish patriotism which dictated
them.
