THE FIGHT GOING ON.
of 1870

The Bartlett meeting which the Nash
vile Union and american took to mean a
surrender of the Independents to the regu-
lar Democratic p.a-a-rty turns out, az we
suspected it would as an irritation of the
old sore, which is not yet healed SIX in deep.
The fact is that an admission that the
Bartlett platform is reconciliation of the
two wings Of the State Democracy is tosay
that tt ere was no real principle involved
in the division. There is nothing in that
document in reference to the main uues-
tions upon which the people look for light
and relief in the coming canvass and cleo
ton.
The Independent organs are not disposed
to accept in good spirit the slashing Of the
Union and american. 1t speaks of the
Banner and the Memphis avalanche as
"prodigals =" returning to the homestead,
and even insists upon prescribing terms
upon which they shall come back. To
this the Aralonche says:
1t was only Bourbon's of the States fam
lily the Union and american conspicu-
ously-Who assumed that the shelby ccun-
ty movement meant an Endorsement
because not containing q censure-of Gov
ernOr Brown and the Funding bill, and a
basis of cooperation for the selection of
Governor, Congressman and members OF
the Legislature. This meeting had no
more to do with the State political can
vass, with Governor Brown or the next
Legislature than with the Mikado Of ia
pan. But the partisans of Governor Brown,
who by assoCiation-and many by direct
necessarily the partisans
Of the funding measure, have industriously

The Jonesboro' Echo says: Margraves 6

Baryta. Notwithstanding the desperate
condition of the roads, they keep several
wagons running, delivering this valuable

Wheat IN this county is looking well, az
we are informed. Our farmers tell US that
the prospect for q very abundant yield was
never more promising.
Our farmers are making arrangements
for planting large number of acres in corr
this spring. There will be an increase
also in the number of acres sown in oats.
The merchants and tradesmen Of this
town have had q very busy week. Many
people from the country have been in and
trading more extensively than for some
weeks past.
The Cleveland Banner says:
For the past two weeks the weather has
been entirely too wet for farming opera
tions. Consequently our farmers are
little backward in getting in their oat
crops.
Newt. Swan, Of Polk county, brought to

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR


Behind the question of Church and
State in Germany is growing uneasiness
at the tremendous preparations of the Gov.
eminent for war. In the absence of any ap-
parent necessity for it, the army is being
increased, and great energy is displayed in
the ordnance department. But while
France has an army of 2,423 900 Germany
can not rest. She has now over seventeen
corps d'orn,ee, or 1901 900. Seven of her
corps are armed with Manser rifles, which
are pronounced superior to the needle gun
or chassepot. The military budget is be-
ing increased one million thalers, and fore
tifications on the frontier are being
strengthened. All these things have put
people in Europe to specializing, and the
result of their examinations are not over
encouraging to those who hope for years Of
and recuperation from the war
of $50.
