1HE cONGREssTONAL RACE

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The enthusiasm aroused among the
masses upon the subject of Civil Rights,
indicates clearly that the First District
can be redeemed, if the people every
where will aoOrk and tcork e1,ergetScdUy
No purer standard-bearer could have
been chosen than Judge Mcfarland, and
his frankness of address, and his freedom
from the tricks and evils of the profess
sional politician draw the people to him
wherever he appears before them.
He thoroughly ventilates Mr.. Buffers
record anu at the same time abstains
from everything of personal nature,
only so far as a mans public life is
part of his Personal character. "a
Mr.. Butler i4'his frantic efforts, to vim
dictate his standardship, and his claim
ing to be the champion of the opposition
to Civil Rights appear in their true light
when his votes and letters are brought
out. Particularly does his letter in the
Jonesboro' Echo, of April last, show his
present position is not the reflection of
his sentiment.
He says:
"The next charge is that T refused to
vote, to take up the Civil Rights Bill
I did, BUT NOT BECAUSE WAS OPPOSED
10 THE BILL, BUT BECAUSE I WANTED
WHEN TT WAS TAKEN UP TO HAVE 1T
PASSED" -
Every reader will readily see what Mr..
Butler would do, if reelected. This
letter contained solemn promises 70 the
colored men; but when Mr.: B. found
that there was danger of losing white
votes, he changed his line of promises.

EE The Democracy of every county
in this Senatorial district should stand
up manfully for their standard bearer
Capt. j. G. Hodges. The strongest eff
fort and the foulest means are being
used to split the party and defeat his
election. lie is a man worthy your con-
fidence, Conservatives and Democrats,
else scheming politicians and Railroad
monopolists, who fear him. would not
combine to defeat him. Bear this in
mind, and let the entire Democratic vote
be given to him next Tuesday.

LETTER FR0MsEE4T0R GREENE.
From the Greeneville intelligence


Herewith we present the letter of Hon.
VIM. Greene, omitted last week, it being
distributed by mistake, as stated in last
weeks issue. We call the especial at
tentiOn of the voters of the 1st District
to it, and beg a careful perusal of the
same. If all of the aspirants will come
forward in same spirit as Mr.. Greene
and throw their influence for Mr.. McFar-
land, we feel it would do much good
and promote harmony in our ranks. The
columns of the INTELLIGENCER are open.
Letter Special to the IErELLIeENcER
LEE VALLEY, HAWKINS Co TENN -
October Sth, 1874. {
lHessrs. Eclat0Ts:. AS my name was brought
before the Democratic Convention at
Greeneville to nominate a standard-be
er for Congress from this District, l de
sire now to say to my many personal, as
well as political friends that the action
of the convention gives me entire salts
faction, and that / shall do all in my
power, in an honorable way, for the
election of Mcfarland. The prospects
for the election of a Democrat from this
district were never brighter since the
war, and all that is necessary to insure
success for the Democracy and the
friends of the various aspirants to prove
true to their professions. In Mcfarland
we have all the requisite qualities of a
gentleman; he is a good man, a pure
man; as a man of prObity he is above re-
prOach. The most bitter partisan in the
district will find it impossible to truth
fully charge him with any dishonest act,
or any disreputable maneuveT. He is a
sober, temperate man, coming from the
ranks of the people and having every in-
terest of theirs at heart. The wiles and
tricks of unprincipled, scheming politi-
70 Ii - hos
been only that of a plain, industrious,
economical citizen, and there is no dam
ger of the Establishments of the political
society of the National Capital corrupt
ing him, or leading him astray from
the principles and practice of ster-
ling honesty and answering integrity
So, upon the whole, think that Mr..
is the right man in the right
place, and that the convention
could not have made better Sc
lection. do hope that every Conserva-
tive and Democrat in the district will inn |
endorse the action of the con-
vention, and that we may have for one
time and this time united and harmonious |
party. Let us see to it that we keep our |
party organization in good working or
der. Let us not be discouraged at past |
defeats, but rather trusting in the ever |
lasting truths of our principles, remem-
Der that
50 Truth crushed to earth will rise again, /
The eternal years of God are hers,
While Error, wounded, writhes in pain, |
And dies amid her worshippers. |
Remembering this, let us all go for
ward in this good fight with brave hearts
and fearless spirits, each man resolved to
10 all he can for success, and victory |
will be ours in November.
Respectfully, VIM. GREENE.

A RIDE FROM RIVERSIDE
With Forty Methodist Preachers.
HOW THEY CHAT, EAT AND RIDE

HOW THEY CHAT, EAT AND RIDE.
NEWPORT, Tenn Oct. %, 1874.
To the Editor of the ATorristown Gazette:
This morning stepped aboard the
cars at this place, bound for the terminus
of this railroad near the North Carolina
line, mainly for the purpose of g feeling"
the sentiments of our citizens along tile
line of road on the q Civil Rights ques-
ton. a ride of one and half hours
along the banks of the picturesque French
Broad, and the shrilI whistle of tire To-
connective announced we had reached the
home of Col Allen, which is situated at
the present terminus of the Cincinnati,
Cumberland Gap and Charleston Rail-
road, not far from the Carolina line
DISSEMINATING, after a few minutes
walk had passed into the front gate,
and as I stepped upon the piazza of the
g Riverside House, my eyes encounter
ed forty black silk hats in solemn array
hanging on the outer wall of the dining
hall, like so many miniature "dogs of
war" placed e.. barbette and ready for ac-
ton What could this mean, I wonder
ed? Could it be possible that up here
in this sequestered spot were assembled
number of political giants, holding a
Convention preparatory to declaring a
platform of principles that would startle
the country? Or, better still, might it
be a number of Railroad Kings assem-
bled here to mature some plan by which
the mountain businesses of North Caro-
lima, from Wolfe Creek to Asheville,
should, ere long, echo to the shriH whis-
tie of the locomotive, and thus, the hopes
so long INDUCED in by East Tennessee
and Western North Carolina be speedily
realized and the mountains feel the beat
ing of the wild sea- waves? While these
thoughts were passing quickly through
my mind, espied mine hostile "Col-
onel," stepping briskly down the piazza,
and seeing he was about to pass me with
out his usual welceme,. stepped up to
him and extended my hand, which was
readily taken, and tapping him on the
shoulder, Iasked:
Colonel, what means llthese hats?-
what's up? Is the grand Duke Alexis
and his suite stopping HEREOF
"Alexis, the dr. exclaimed the Col
onel, "there are forty Met1iedistpreach-
ers right here this moment!'
Forty Methodist preachersg"T asked;
and we stood stark and still, cycling each
other like two catamounts, too surprised
to be angry, and too afraid to retreat.
Recovering from my establishment, /
timidly advanced toward the door lead
ing into the dining hall, and sure enough,
there were forty revered heads ducking
up and down, over table loaded with
those things which satisfy the Inner
man." and brace up and refresh the
wearied traveller Right manfully did
they ply knife and fork, and right rap
idly did they tighten the table. Thinks
1, they ''charge well! Balaklava sug
gested itself and Tennyson's Light
Brigade" came to my mind, and with
slight change of the phraseology, l MUIR
