TEMPERANCE STORIES,

There are occasionally little incidents in
real life, which foreibly illustrate the evils
of intemperance. If these were widely
spread before the people, especially the
young, they would make more lasting con-
verts to the cause of temperance, if not
more in number, than any peremptory law
that can be enacted We Remember story
told by the Post, short time ago, in sub
stance as follows: A rich man, the owner
of very fine team, called one day on a
printer and invited him to take ride The
printer gratefully accepted the invitation,
and as they were dashing along over the
fine road, to the great delight of the printer,
he exclaimed, GLOW NICE it is to own such
team? | wish could afford to own such
pair of spankers" "You could if you
wish to-" said the rich man. 81 don't
know how" "Well, will tell you" says
the owner of the trotters; "you drink and
don't. And if you will count up, you will
find it costs you as much for your drinks as
it would to keep this team" The printer
sat awhile in reflection A new idea came
across his mind lie has since made the
calculation, and found what the rich mar
told him more than true, and by acting al
become sensible man, he now rides be-
hind his own horses
Then there is another story, from New
Orleans paper, which tells of printer who
when his fellow work men went out to drink
beer during working hours, put into bank
the exact amount be would have spent il
he had gone out to drink. He thus KEPT
his resolution for five years. lie then ex-
amined his bank account, and found that
he had on deposit s52l sc. In the five
years be had not lost day from i'll health.
Three out of five of his feow-workmen
had, in the mean time, become drunkards,
were worthless and were discharged. The
water-drnker then bought out the printing
office, went on enarging the business, and
in twenty years from the time he began to
put away bis money, was worth 500 900

Are twinkhng in the grasses.
And WOO the balmy breeze in flight
That o 'er the heather passes.
| swarm with many lithesome wings.
That join me, through my ramble,
In seeking for the honeyed things
OF health and hawthorn bramble.
And languidly amidst the sedge,
When noontide is most Silly,
lol beside the waters edge,
And climb into the lily.
L fly throughout the clover drops
Before the evening closes,
Or swoon amid the amber drops
That swell the pink moss-roses

In cooling Autumn weather,
And gently murmur round about
lhe purple, tinted heather.
To Poesy l am friend;

And all my airy knowledge lend,
To aid him in his thinking
Deem not these little eyes are dim
To every sense of duty;
We owe certain debt to Him
Who clad this earth III beauty.
And therefore l am never sad,
A burden homeward bringing;
But help to make the Summer glad
In my own way of singing.
When idlers seek my honeyed wine,
In wantonness to drink it,

Like some forbidden trinket.
But never sting "A friend-not one

That | may look at children run,
And smile at their confusion

And power of foreseeing,

To hurt a human being.
And thus my little life is fixed,
Till TRANQUILITY it closes,
For wisely have | chosen 'twixt

An examination of the records of our
criminal courts Will show that three
fourths of the criminal prosecutions are
for larceny, and the amount charged to
have been stolen Is less than fifty dollars;
in most of the cases the amount stolen Is
less than twenty-five dollars. The costs
of conviction, board in Jail, and transpor-
tation 10 the Peniteutiary, OF one OF
these criminals, does not cost the State
less than $500. The criminal Is sent to
the peniteutiary, where be is OF no prOht to
the State-does nothing TO pay back this
cost. One of the heaviest sources OF eX-
peuse to the State is criminal prosecu-
lions. The coming Legislature should
see how this can be remedIed- We sug-
cest that it might TO a great degree be
Temedied BY such an amendment OF the
criminal laws as would make larceny OF

either Speaker or Senator. He enter
tains the opinion, that it is of the highest
importance that the South should impress
the conviction upon the minds of the peo-
pie of the North, that we value the trusts
of constitutional liberty and a popular
form of government, with as deep a sense
of responsibility as do the States and peo-
pie of any other section of the Union
and that in any success that may attend
the Democratic party, we should avoid
giving 1t any personal or sectional bias;
for which, among other reasons, he is un-
willing that his name shall be used in
connexien with the Speakership of the
next House. He is right; and we admire
HIM all the more because his patriotism
IS greater than his personal ambition
The Speaker of the 44th Congress, which
will be the first Office of great national
distinction which the redeemed Democra-
cy will have the privilege of filling, should
be Western or Northern man; at least
not Southern man. The Democratic
party should go into the great Presiden-
tial race of 1876 without any weights.
The South is anxious for good govern
ment, and she cannot better show her
faith than by sbstainiag from any greed
after national Offices. 1t is not greed for
office that makes the South long for
Grantism and Radicalism ovsrthrCwn-it
is her desire for constitutional govern
ment. In reference to the Senatorial
election, we have it from Gen. Whitthorne
himself, that he will not be candidate
therefor. The people of the 7th District
have elected him for the third time to the
Congress of the United States, and he ex-
poets to serve them in that capacity.

Public ScIROOIS

To the Editors Qfthe Herald and Mall:
was glad to see in your last issue,
You intend to advocate the Public Schools.
The sum voted by the counties should not
be placed under the head of taxes.
Whether voted by the counties or not, we
have to pay to educate our children. No
man will get up and proclaim to the world
he has children, but will not pay out his
money to send them to sChool--that he is
hard pressed, that he intends 10 keep
them at home, and work them as he does
his mules from month to month, and from
year to year He is as much bound to
educate them as he is to buy them bread
and clothing. The only question then is,
whether financially, it is cheaper and
better to do this thing, by combination or
individual effort? Bear in mind, light
crops or heavy crops, hard times or easy
times, 1t has to be dOne-Our children are
growlnE up, all the same, and will not
wait The time to make salutary and
lasting impressions upon their tender
minds IS passing away, and We cannot
wait Will we diminish our taxes any,
by refusing to vote money, to carry on
the Public Schools? The statistics of the
private schools, imperfectly taken with
the last census of the scholastic pOpula-
ton, prove cOnclusively, that it costs
three or four times as much to educate
child in them, as it does in our public
schools. We had in the year 1873 and 1874
about 1873 public schools, of nearly five
months duration-they cost the county
something over twenty-five thousand dol
lars; paid to teachers the same number
of private schools, for the same time
would have cost the people, about fifty or
sixty thousand dollars. | am not OPP
posed to private schools-I do not think
hey charge too much, or anything of
hat kind. | am for all the good private
schools, colleges, seminaries and high
schools we can get. They are a glory
and an ornament to our country, they
elevate the standard of scholarship, and
o encourage and sustain them, / think
he public school officials ought to CO.
operate with them in every fair and legal
way, yet the great masses of the people
cannot send to them. They are simply
Unable to pay the fees required, aud if
heir children are ever educated it can
,nly be done in the public schools. This |
S fact that other States and other |
counties have long since found out. Even |
he Cherokee Indians have a splendid |
ystem of public schools, and they are
building fine houses, cultivating large |
arms and exhibiting many signs of an
civilization. MORE ANON.

1t is charged by Republican leaders
that Northern men are not safe in the
Southland that in no instance are they
honored aud trusted. A striking illustra-
ton Of the untruthfulness and malicious
ness of this charge was given in our re-
cent municipal election. Mr.. L. w.
Gamble, ex-Federal soldier, was run for
alderman, and he received the largest
number of votes of all the candidates
running in his ward, all of them good
men, and to the manner born. He was
voted for by the people because they like
him, and think he will make good alder
man. His opponents were among the
very best men in the town. We do not
know, nor do we care, what Mr.. CANDLES
politics is-many doubtless voted for him
without knowing or caring. That's the
way we treat Northern Een, when they
prove to be gentlemen. We rather ad-
mire the Northern peOple-they are
thrifty, genial, and progressive. There
is push, vim, and business like way
about them.

Debt of TenneSSee-Wh the
Democratic Party has Done.

The Democratic party found State
debt of forty-three million of dollars the
Ist of January, 1870. They have reduced
it to twenty-seven millions of dollars, six
million of which is secured by solvent
assets. The Radicals found the debt
tweuty-three million of dollars IN May,
1865, it was twenty-five million in Octo-
Der, 1868, and tortY-three millions in
January, 1870, of which, however, two
millions was of Tennessee Bank notes.
The Democrats in their Convention in
1870, prohibited the further loan of the
State credit and placed strong restric-
tions upon town, city and county sub
scriptions. The object ofthe Democratic
party has been to get the country out of
debt. in order that it might recuperate.
Debts wisely contracted, the proceeds OF
which are honestly expended, are often
benefit. Such was the case in regard to
the debts contracted by Tennessee before
the war, but when such reckless expendl-
ture of money and such wastetul issuance
of bonds is INDUCED in as has been the
case since the war, the sooner 1T Is stop
ned the better. Witness the Tennessee

The Third Term.

Harper'S Weekly has always been the
NEST intensely Radical paper in the
country, and warm advocate of Grant S
administration. Like majority of the
Republican leaders, the able and dis
tinguished editor of the Weekly, Geo.
Vim. Curtis, makes Grant a scapegoat for
the sins of the Republican party, and de-
mands that he must go to the wilderness
In recent article, he insists that Grant
must speak. After showing that Ellis II.
Roberts, Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Utica District of New York,
was defeated by Grants ofice-holders
in that District, because he (Roberts) was
out-spoken against Grants reelection,
HdTper'S Weekly has the courage to
threaten the taciturn President with its
open opposition in case he is candidate
in 1876. We quote a pregnant para
graph:
But in view of the situation, and of the
necessity of cOntesting the general cleo
ton of 1876 with every advantage, it
seems to US the plain duty of the Presi-
dent to declare his position on this sub
Ject. 1t can no longer be said that it is
"a joke, and that the dignity of the Presi-
dent torbids him to speak. If his dignity
does not forbid him to speak Of the sub
ject at all, and the reports show that it
does not, why should it forbid him to
make the only important remark upon ii
that the country wishes to hear? 1t is no
answer to say that the elections have
settled the matter. The President says
that he does not think so, and as the
patronage controls the party organization,
and as every selfish consideration leads
the office-holding interest to use that con-
troll for third nomination, doubt and
perplexity which should not exist for a
moment, do really menace the party. 1t
is the more important, because the inter
est which would most warmly press third
term is precisely that which believes that
party organization and regularity" can
accomplish everything. If, therefore, the
uncontradicted report is true, and the
President thinks that hostility to the
third term had no influence upon the cleo
tons, and that Mr. Roberts defeat is the
evidence, let the press of his own party
assure him how profoundly he is mistaken
and Convince him that should he be
regularly renominated, the best Republi-
can journals from the Atlantic to the
Pacific would oppose his election with
the same patriotism and energy that they
advocated it in 1868 and 1872"
The herald and mail. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1873-188?, 1874-11-27

We endorse and emphasize every word
written by our correspondent Delta in
tO-day's paper. Nowhere have we seen
che duties devoIviu- upon the Democratic
party so clearly and vigorously stated.
There is no danger To be now feared from
the Republican party-the danger all
lies in the possibility that the idiots and
blatherskItcS of our own party may get
into power and shape our political policy.
The Republican paTty-thc great mass OI
Northern men who composed It-were
never bad men, indeed they have always
believed in good and honest government
but they allowed few bad men to get
into power who attempted to destroy the
very essence oi coustitutIOna! government
and well nigh brought irretrievable ruin
upon the country. The Democratic party
must avoid the very possibility of such a
catastrophe ovcrtakIng it, and the only
way to do 1t Is To keep bad men out of
Otlice-mCu who preach bad doctrine.
Any man that even CoUuteuances repUdia-
ton is q bad mIu-nO matter how sound
he is on other points let no such man
be trusted with power. Next to HIM in
political hcresy Is the blathCrSkite who
breaches diSloy&lIy to the Union in any
fits various shapes The heart of the
South is true TO the Union, and Will ever
se--there Is no section truer-and those
blatherskitcs who preach other doctrine
must be kept out OF power, We appre-
bend no serious trouble 10 the Democratic
party on the financial problem. The
Democratic party will not have an OPP
pOrtunity to shape the policy OF the gov
eminent before the present financial dis
tress of the county shall have passed
away, and the financial question ceased
to be an IssuC.

Whiffhorne for Senator

From the West Tennessee Democrat
Without intending the slightest dispar-
agement ofany gentleman spoken of as
probable candidate, we must confess that
to our mind the Hon. w, c. Whitthorne
of Maury county, is the most suitable.
1t is conceded by all unprejudiced gentle
men that he is the shrewdest-mOst far
seeing and prudent politician in the State
lis casting of the political horoscope for
the past ten years has been infallible--and
we are indebted to him in this State more
than to any other man for the general
policy that has made Tennessee irrevo-
cably democratic He is the most thor
Cughly posted man in parliamentary
usages. He is eloquent and skilled as a
debater, and said to be better posted
upon all questions of the day than any
man in the House of Representatives.
He is a Democrat of the Jeffersonian
school. Conservative in his nature, yet
uncOmpromiSing in all matters involving
principle. A statesman of broad and ex-
pansive views. With Whitthorne in the
Senate, Tennessee and the Democrats
would have a representative that would
be ready to break a lance with Radicalism
from the day his entry, leader skilled,
who would be ready to plan campaigns
and fight battles for the succession in 1876
from the very outset If many other gen
tlemen are sent who are spoken of, it will
require a session to learn the ropes ana
another to measure their opponents. We
hope that our representatives will look at
this matter from a practical standpoint
and send Gen. WhitthOrne, or some other
gentleman possessing his qualifications.

WHAT'S "ShaksPeare's w. HI

To the Editors Of the Herald and and NAL:
GENT: The last number of the Vest
minister ReUiet0, in brief notice of Jer-
ram s edition of 'Lycidas and Epitaphi.
UNI Damonis" recently published in Lon
don, writes thus:
Mr.. Jerram's Introduction is a model
of what an Introduction should be. He
has left out nothing which could interest
the reader. His style is critical and
scholarly. The greatest interest must
always attach to Edward King (Lycidas)
and Charles Diodati Damon), nearly as
great as that which attaches to Shaks-
peare's w. H"
Can you tell me what the Westminster
means by "Shakspeare's w. H.?' If the
conundrum is too much for you, please
do me the kindness to submit it to our
friend DIR. White, of the Lebanon Herald.
| must confess that | do not understand
1t; and | must be permitted to remark
that if Mr.. Jerram would have US believe
that Shakspeare's name was William
Henry, he ought to have said so.

and Pacific Railroad, only thirty miles in
length, which cost the State of Tennessee
81 100000, besides what it cost Davidson
and Wilson counties; the Northwestern
road, which cost the State eff Tennessee
four million of dollars, and still was left
in very incomplete condition. These
are samples of Radical legislation in re-
gard TO railroads Well did the New
Constitution, in view of these facts, pro-
hibit any further use, or rather abuse, of
State credit. The manner in which the
Radical party trifed with State credit,
and involved the State in enormous in
debtedness, was enough of itself to have
secured their overwhelming defeat, had
there been nothing else in the canvass. We
wish these facts kept prominently before
our people, so that all, Republicans and
Democrats, may fully understand them.
