GEN. T. R. STANLEY, who died at
Chattanooga on Wednesday, acquired
some distinction on the Federal side
during the war After having raised a
regiment of infantry in Ohio, his first
active service was with Gen. o. NJ.
Mitchell, in his campaign from Nash
vile, which resulted In the seizure of
the Memphis and Charleston Railway,
and the occupation Of that line by
Buell's forces during the summer Of
1862. He commanded brigade at the
battle Of Stones river, soon after
which he was brevetted Brigadier Cen
craL His command participated in the
campaigns that closed in November,
1868, by the permanent Federal occu-
patton Of Chattanooga, when he was
appointed commandant Of that post
and held the position until mustered
out In 1865. The war over, he became
a citizen of Chattanooga. The Times
speaks Of him as having been a man Of
great energy and business capacity.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The uneasineSs with which the Radi-
cal press regards the rapid progress of
the Grange movement is illustrated IN
an article published by the JOaesboro
Herald and Tribune Of this week, under
the heading-"An Attempt to Pull
Down the United States Flag" 1t
seems that meeting of the Grange
was held at Limestone, Washington
county, on the Fourth of July. Pre-
vious to the meeting, the father Of the
notorious Col. Kirk proposed to hoist
the battle" flag Of the regiment CON-
manded by his son during the
war. 1t was thought to be a
political trick and objection
was made, but the old man was obsti-
nate and ran the flag up. Certain
parties under the influence OF liquor"
made an attempt to remove it-that
was all; yet the Herald and Tribune
bowls about it in this ferocious style:
The only question for lovers Of the
flag to consider Is: Who is responsible
for the insult offered to it? The Grange
as an organization processes to eschew
politics altogether; but a committee ap-
pointed by that institution, and author
lied to act for 1t, sends a request to a
Union man not to hoist the Ameri-
can flag on the 4th of July-he refuses
TO comply with the request and this
action of the committee Is, so far as We
FnOw, the exciting cause of the subse-
quent attempt to pull down the flag
Union men, members Of the Grange,
who were present, fell the insult and
promptly resented 1t. 1t is safe to pre-
sume that they knew the nature and
extent Of the responsibility that rested
on the Grange for that insult; and the
simple fact they, who were inside of the
ring, and consequently thoroughly in
formed, felt 1t their duty to defend the
honor of the flag from the insults of
those who attempted to pull it down Is
a strong argument IN favor of placing
the responsibility on the Grange itself
1t is for the Grange to shift the respOn- |
sibility if it can, and for the S; Ike of its |
future we advise the members of that |
body to take steps to do so at once, but |
an outrage of this kind is more than
the Union people of this county is able |
to tolerate or is willing to bear.
The animus Of this onslaught upon
the Changers is apparent enough, the
Order having completely demoralized
the Radical party in that section of
East Tennessee. As for Col. Kinks
flag, it was no battle-fag at all. If it
ever waved III a fight, history has yet
to record the fact. The insult was to
the day in hosting an ensign dishonor-
ed by the deeds Of barbarity that have
made Kirk and his regiment
in famous.

GEN. A. w. CAHPBELL'S WITH.
DRAWAL

1t IS with sincere regret that we pub
lish below a card from this gentleman,
refusing the further use of his name
as an aspirant for the Governorship.
OF pure character and unquestioned
abilities, he would be fitted in every
way to bear the party banner to tri-
umph. There are other men perhaps
equally popular and competent, but the
more Of such material the people have
before them the better. Therefore we
lament the retiracy Of one such man
at this stage'of the canvass. We copy
his card from the JacIson' Courier
Herald:
JACKSON, July :, lS7L.-Owing to
the recent occurrence Of events Of a
private character, duties and obliga-
tons have devolved upon me, which
render 1t improper for me to consent
that my name may be further used as
a candidate for Governor in the ensu-
ing election. Sincerely thankful to
those of my friends, who have assured
me of their confidence and Of their sup
port for the high trust. 1 would not. at
this late hour, feel at liberty to decline
the contest, but for the most impera-
tive considerations. Assuring them,

TmE coNeREssIoNAr. cASyAss.

Our arti, le of last week under this
heading seems to have attracted much
attention, and is producing one of the
effects we designed. While we sought
to make our list of aspirants as full as
possible, we knew that some would
escape us, but hoped the article would
bring out them and their friends. Our
intention is to treat all impartially, and
lay before the people all the material
Offering. Here and there, counties and
sections may have favorites whose
names have not yet appeared in the
local prints. The native worth of such
men is not impaired, but rather en-
HANGED, by the modesty that restraints
them from pushing their claims.
In our own district we failed to men
ton Jackson B. White, Of Edfefeld,
who is an aspirant, although he has
not yet announced himself.
A letter from friend in Shelbyville
is inclined to accuse us of injustice to
the other candidates Of the Fifth dis
triet in stating that Gen. J. B. Palmer
has been endorsed by Bedford county.
We are grateful for the correction, as
the mistake was unintentional and I'M
noticed. We wrote or tried to write
that Gen. Palmer had been endorsed
by Rutherford, his own county. Our
correspondent also reminds us that
Maj. T. B. Ivie. of Bedford, is a promi-
nent candidate, and predicts that he
viii be his coanty's first choice.
Anent the Third District we have
the following from the McMinnUiHe
NeC Era:
The UNION AND AMERICAN men
tions Col. John H. Savage, E. A. James,
Col Thomas B. Murray and Gen.
George @. Dibrell as the aspirants for
Congress. The UNIONS looking glass
fails to reflect the condition in this |
Congressional district truthfully. As |
aspirants to Congress we have Col. |
William Simpson of Van Buren,, Gen. |
Dibrell, of White, Mr.. Neal, of Rhea,
Col. Eb. A James, of Hamilton, Coils. |
Murray, Hughes and Cliff of Warren,
and perhaps some others IN the district. |
In another point the UNION seemst to
be deficient, and that is with reference
to the aspirations Of Col Savage.
True, numerous Of his friends in the
district desire his services in the lower
House Of Congress; but then numerous
other friends In the State are equally
anxious to have his eminent services
and ripe craftsmanship In the United
States Senate, and the UNION seems
very hard To- learn that the mountain
portion Of Tennessee will urge the Col
0nel's claims with considerable persis-
tency, and not without hope Of success.
1t viii be noticed that the Near Era
adds four TO our four, while taking one
out Of the race as being a candidate
for Federal Senator. Yet It seems the
Era is as much behind the times as
We, in regard to the coming man, w.
3. Colyar, who has sprung into the
arena, backed by Grundy county,
which casts 3S3 votes in a district poll
ne il5,736. We do not bury him IN
