leans is believed to be to ascertain the ex-
act nature of the complaints which
the more moderate class of eOnser-
vatives take against the State Govern
ment, and then to examine fairly and
sufficiently to satisfy themselves as to the
justice of these complaints. While assur-
ing all parties that the Administration viii
not oountenance any irregular means of
correcting abuses, nor listen to charges arts
ing from political differences, yet there is a
disposition to aid, if possible, in bringing
about a better state Of feeling between the
two factions there, These gentlemen are
on the ground as observers and advisers
simply, and they do not represent the au-
thorities here in any such formal way as to
justify the criticism that the Administra-
ton is attempting to interfere in the do
nestle affairs of the State.

chattanooga IIInes OF yesterday.


The Congressional canvass opened at
Benton Sept. ?, by joint debate between
Gen. Dibrell and Col. Nelson. About 200
of the sOvereigns 81 Polk county were pres
ent, all old substantial farmers, the very
bone and sinew Of the county, and they
listened very attentiyely to the discussion.
Gen. Dibrell opened the canvass in a
speech about an hour long. He made a
plain. sensible, argumentative and cOnvinc-
ing talk, and it was plain that he carried
the sympathies Of the audience with him
from the start.
When Col. Nelson rose to reply, it was
evident that he had miscalculated the abil-
ity of his opponent, and had come there ut
terly unprepared to make 4 reply to the
speech he had just heard. The consequence
was that he failed tOmeet Gen. Dibrellsar-
guments, and the few points which he made
upon Gen. Dibrell were very neatly turned
upon him in the rejOinder Of that gentle
man. In fact, Nelson acquitted himself
with so little credit to himself that il was
proposed that Crutchfeld should come to
his relief and make this canvass for Nell
son, Just as Nelson did for Crutehfeld two
years ago.
However, we think that Nelson will be
better posted by next Saturday, when the
candidates speak at Charleston, and will
bring his scrap book with him.
The following is list Of the appoint
ments agreed upon by the two candidates:

ST. JOHESBURG, VT, Sept. 23.-Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher made a speech at the
Caledonia Fair held in this place, to over
eight thousand persons yesterday. His
subject was "What L Don't Know About
Farming" He was brought on the Fair
ground in an open phaetOn; looked splen-
did as he drove up to the sound CT MARTA
music, and was greeted by loud cheers by
the assembled thousands. His speech was
frequently interrupted by loud cheers and
hearty laughter. At the close Of the ad-
dress he was driven to the railroad depot.
He was quite fatigued, and to escape con-
versation and curiosity, made his way to
the locomotive and rode with the engineer
to Wells River Junction.

ASIDE from social levelism and po-
litical deviltry, the only normal ques-
ton which should arise between the
two races In the South IS that of capt.
tai and labor in a mild form, easily
adjusted according to the diverse local
circumstances. Such seems to be the
Telre Bonnie compromise, alluded to in
our louisiana dispatches. We say
this question of capital and labor pre-
sents a mild form in the South, for the
reason that our capital is mainly land,
not massed into grinding mOnopohes,
and our need for labor is pressing and
continuous.
