THE COWVENTIOR-OUR NOM
TNEE.

The Convention which assembled
at Nashville last Wednesday for the
purpose of nominating a candidate
for the Conservative Democratic
party of Tennessee for Governor
was without doubt the grandest col
lection of representative men ever
assembled for a similar purpose in
the history of the State.
The proceedings were harmonious
and wise. The interest in the con
Vention was general throughout the
State, and the delegates gave evil
dence of an earnest desire and ac-
cord to select a good an acceptable
man as our GubernatOrial standard
bearer. Though the friends Of each
of the distinguished gentlemen bal
1otted for displayed all possible
fidelity to their favortte while there
was chance for his nomination.
they entirely represented the will of
the people by uniting on the man
whom they found commanded in the
highest degree the strength of the
party. For each of the candidates
before the convention we have the
highest respect, and would have most
cordially supported if nominated, be-
Eeving that either would have filled
the ei allied station TO which he was
named with credit to himself and the
State. Though uninstructed by the
constituency we represented in that
body, we cast the vote of Hamblen
county, after the second ballot, solid
for James D. Porter, Jr., of Henry
county, on each successive ballot till
he was declared by reclamation to
be the choice of the people of Ten
nessee for the next Governor, and
we confidently believe they will en-
dorse the propriety of our selection
at the ballot-box in November. He
started into the convention with a
stronger support that any man, and
though he led the ballots with vary
ing majorities, he held the first place
from beginning to end, the nearest
he was reached being on the 18th
ballot. when Bailey was within five
of tying with him. That he was the
man whom Tennessee was delighted
to honor was from that point appar-
ent, and he was unanimously nomi- |
mated amidst thunders of applause.
West Tennessee has had her wish,
and Middle and East Tennessee will
in November ratify the proceedings
of Wednesday by sending Judge
Porter to the Capitol with the en-
dorsemenU Of a solid. unified party

SENATORLAL CONTENTION.

The call of Maj. Clarkson, Chair
man of the Congressional Executive
Committee for the First Congress-
fonal District, for the appointment
of comfy delegates to a District
Convention to assemble at Rogers
vile, on the 10th of September, for
che purpose of selecting a Conserva-
tive candidate to represent the Sec
ond Senatorial District in the next
Legislature is published in another
column.
The Importance of this Conven-
tfon we hope will be sufficiently APP
preciated by the people of the Scna.
torial District to insure a full repre-
sentation. We believe they are in
earnest in the desire to have good
and none but good-men in the
State councils. They are deter
mined to have the laws revised so as
90 make the collection of the revenue
prompt, certain and cheap; to have
economy, in the administration of
the government, and tho lowest tax
consistent with duty to our Obliga-
tions. They are not disposed to carp
at the revenue and assessment laws
because they are not perfect, but
they are determined to bring their
best talent to bear to have a more
perfect and equitable system devised,
both Of assessment and collection, if
IT be possible.
We do not know who will prove
che choice of that meeting. Capt.
Denny, of Sullivan. and Capt. J. G.
Hodges, of Hamblen, have been pre-
scented in our columns as candidates
for the position for months. Other
gentlemen of equal reputation have
been spoken of Without disparage-
ment to any Of the other aspirants,
we have heretofore expressed a pre-
ference for our countyman, Capt. |
Hodges, as our choice for the race.
Born and raised amid our own noun
tains, he is a man of great energy,
quick in his perceptions, in the prime
of life, and will bring to the discus
sion of the important questions like

amount of information, which he has
gathered and retained after years Of
hard experience and close observa-
tion as tiller Of the soil. lie is
emphatically one of the working
class, and from our knowledge of the
man, we are ready to say he is in
every way fitted TO prosecute before
the people the heavy and sweeping
Indictment under which the mon
strous rings and combinations now
Expressing the agricultural and me-
chanical classes are being arraigned
at the bar of public opinion.
1t is needless for us to speak Of
Capt. Hodges to the people Of this
county, where he is so well and ia
vorably known. If nominated, we
are confident he would prove accept
able to the people of the District, as
he has the ability, honesty of pur-
pose. and courage requisite to the
position.

ADJOURNMENT

been made and carried, Col Henry said
that he must be permitted to remark that
he had had the honor, this day, of presld-
ing over the finest convention which had
assembled in Tennessee during the last
Is or 20 years. He heartily reioiced at
the harmony and good feeling which had
prevailed. While the delegates had been
actuated by a laudable ambition to adj
vance the interests of their especial
favorites, no man in all the body had
yielded himself to angry feelings, or in
1ulged in harsh marks. He, babe them

might go home to happy families, and

nominee, he declared the convention adj

RUsT IN WHEAT.-An old and very
intelligent farmer of Rockingham County,
Va, who has paid great deal Of attention
to everything relating to his profession,
has given the following information as to
the origin Of that dread Of the hus-
handman, rust in wheat. He says there
are two kinds Of rust, the red rust and the
black rust. The red rust is not injurious
to the wheat, and is always caused by
showers Of rain and sunshine. The black
rust, however, is very injurious, and is
caused by the fall of the honey dew follow
ed by subsequent rains. But for the rain
the honey dew would not be SO harmful
but the Immediately succeeding rains make
the black rust very hurtful. He says, in
support of this part of his theory, that last
year there was no honey dew, and the
wheat was entirely free from black rust.
The honey bees, however were sufferers,
because Of the absence of the honey dew,
for he lost four stands of bees in conse-
quence Of the absence Of the honey dew,
and one of his neighbors also lost an equal
number Of stands of bees

Many years ago, Mr.. Abram Dodge. Of
the town Of Ipswich, Mas. owned q beau
tiful horse which was the pet Of the FAM
ily. He was admired by IN who knew
his playfulness and good qualifications.
In the summer il was Mr.. Dodges habit
occasionally to have a frolie with his horse
Ia the barnyard, then left him alone and
he would go to the river, which was about
one-third Of q mile distant, where he would
bathe, then go to a common and roll on
the grass, and then with the freedom Of
air start for bis home. His stable was
renovated for him while he was gone, and
his breakfast put in his crib. IF he met
his master be would show some coItish
pranks, bound for the stable, pun out the
wooden pin that fastened the door with his
teeth and rush to the manger One night
the horse was stolen from the stable.
After the expiration Of sixteen years, Mr..
Dodge was at the tavern when q man
drove up to the door. Mr.. Dodge at once
recognized the horse, and he told the driver
his reasons for believing it to be his; the
man told him Of whom he bought the
horse, and said he owned him for several
yeaB. Mr. Dodge claimed his horse, and
it was agreed that if the horse would on
being taken to his old stable, 60 through
the habit Of bathing, rolling on the grass,
and pulling the pin from the stable door
as above described, that Mr.. Dodge should
have him. When the horse was let out
into his old yard he reviewed the premises
for moment, then started for his old bath
tub, then for green towel on the common,
then for his old stable, pulled the wooden
pin, won for himself good meal, and his
old master his fatorite horse. These facts
are vouched for by reliable residents Of
the town, and show concIusively the long
memory Of our nobIest animal LosceH

A LESSON TO HAYMAKERs.--I have
valuable fact for haymakers. The great
trouble with them is to get enough sun
and wind to cure their hay before they put
it up, and the danger is that before that
Is done the rains come and ruin IT, Isup-
pose every year from an eighth TO a fourth
of the hay crop is either ruined or most
seriously damaged by rain. The Warm
Springs farm produces luxuriant crop Of
grass, and hardly without exception large
part of it has been heretofore annually
lost from moisture. The property, as
your readers know, is now in the hands Of
Col. John i. Eubank. After satisfactory
experiment he has discovered that the hay
may safely bestored within an hour after il
is cut Lime Is his protection against
heating. He sprinkles that in the hay as
he puts it up, and there has been no fer.
mentation-the hay curing as sweetly as
possible with all its saccharine matter
thoroughly preserved. Indeed it is better
than sun-cured hay; for the sun is too
sharp an agent, and exhausts part Of
what should be left for the animals that
feed on it This is Col. Eubank' opinion,
which seems TO be thoroughly sustained
by the hay that fills his garners and stands
about in bulky stacks, giving such an air
of bounteOusness to the place. Tell all
your hayinakes to try it.
