eB Our first page to-day presents I'M
usual attraction. The article entitled
Charlie Summers Legacy" is the pro-
duction of one of the clearest legal heads
in the State, and although bold and une-
quivOcal in its expressions is not more so
than the truth of history justifics We
ask for it an attentive perusal. Our cor
respondent Conrad" lets us into some
of the secret drawbacks to the full pros
perity of East Tennessee University, as
they present themselves to his Observa-
tiOn. Anything calculated to enhance the
prosperity of the oldest educational In
stitutiOn in the State, and one located at
our doors, cannot be devoid of interest
To our readers. Another interesting let
ter from Capt. Dunn, who is still at the
Hot Springs, Ark, will be interesting to
all readers, and especially so to his per
Bonal friends. The address Of the Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee to
the people of Tennessee, on this page,
is timely document, replete with facts,
and logical IN its presentation of them.

TIE MEMPHIS DISTRICT

The Conservative Democracy have
done nObly in the Memphis District.
They could not have made a better &c
lection of standard-bearer than Col.
Cayee Young. He is a gentleman of
great personal popularity, fine ability
and true merit in all that constitutes the
man in his highest mould. He will
make an able canvass and bear our ban
ner in triumph to a splendid victory
That he will redeem the district at
present mis-repTescnted by the notorious
Barbour Lewis, who voted for the in
famous Civil Rights Bin, there can be
no doubt. Cayee YouDg's canvass is
equivalent to an election. He belongs
to a class of men who sprung from the
people, and cannot be defeated. lie
will make an able and efficient member,
not only for the Memphis District, but
for the whole State. He will wortIily
wear the hOnors upon which undying
lustre was shed by Davy Crockett, w.
C. Dunlap, Fred p. Stanton and w. T.
Avery. Col. Young is good and a
True UAdIls Il JIG On1OE HIGH Oh 1JftSG
Tennessee will remember with gratitude
the services he rendered many of them
in the dark days of 1S61-'62 while in the
rebel service at Knoxville While true
and faithful to the cause he had es-
ypoused, he was at the same time kind
and lenient to his brethren who differed
with him Col Young was originally
Union man, and stood steadfast,
fighting gallantIy for the Union until
the country was precipitated into the
unhappy civil strife, when he took his
position with his State and his section
and made a brave, gallant and true SOL
dier. He fought through tile war, and.
after the surrender returned to his home
and quietly engaged in the pursuits Of
of his profession and has, since that
time, been good and peaceable citizen.
He has never been politician or place
hunter, and is far above even the sus-
piciOn Of being Influenced or controlled
by rings and cliques. His sympathies
are all with che people, and, his best
efforts will be directed to advance their
interests and promote their prosperity.
In the name of the people and tire good
of the. State, we congratulate the
Memphis District upon their selection
of so good man. - 2 -.it

CAPT 7 e UODGES

The Senatorial nominee for this dis
trict, returned last Saturday from a visi:
to Sullivan county. He is no stranger
to large number of the voters Of that
county, and we hazard but little in say
ing, that even where a stranger, he has
made good impression wherever he has
visited. His practical common sense
his thorough gentIemanIy bearing and
the geniality and frank truthfulness por-
Srayed in his every feature will act as a
passport to the good will Of all who come
IN contact with him.
But there are other and stronger rea-
sons than these that should commend
Aim 20 the cordial support of the Con
sentative Democratic party of this dis
trict. He is the chosen standard bearer
Of his party-thc representative of their
principles by representative men
direct from the people. With unity Of
action we can have a glorious success.
The shell of Radicalism in East Tennes-
see is broken. The last straw that broke
the cameFs back was Civil Rights. Some
think the recent upheaval in East Ten
DcSsee is ephemeral-that things will
elapse into the old grooves by Novem-
her. This IS not exactly what will hap
pen. Our people are not Disguised
simply with negro social equality, but
also with the party that could seriously
propose to force such equality upon them.
Their eyes are opened, through this, to all
4he other enOrmities of the party with
which he has been acting. In fact, East
Tennessee Republication, is at sea- The
majority of the deserters have left Rad
ieaiism never to return. A great many
win, Ike Brownlow, refuse to embrace
Democracy. Many others will, like SEN.
sible men, take the situation as they find
it, and act with the better party. To
state the situation in brief, the wave of
dissatisfaction with the dominant dy-
nasty which uphcaves the whole North
west has at length reached the Businesses
Of East Tennessee. Radicalism is tot
teriRg in its most loyal stronghold,
Now, Democrats, viii you aid in this
great work, or will you, from personal
considerations, aid the enemies Of your
country. we enter upon TINS campaign
fully confident that we shall have your
cordial cooperation in achieving gIo-
riOus victory for the Democracy. In
this contest, it is not the man but the
principles of your party you advance
and give force to. 1t is only by strict
organization and hearty support of
your nominee that you may be able to
relieve the country. Win any good
Democrat forsake his party to follow
any renegade or disorganizer? We hope
not. This class Of men are the worst
ppemies a party can have. They sacri-
tsoe principles for self oggrandiscmeat Int
this contest we appeal to the noblest i'm
pulses. and to the sober second thought |
Of the people We are confident we
shall not appeal in vain.

THE BORDER FAIR.

IT, WAS 4 SUCCESS, FLYANCL4L-
.,.,., = Y AND. OTHERWISE. fr..s
To the Editor Of the Aiorristown Gazette: II lsa
7e had the pleasure of spending Thurs
day and Friday of this week at Bristol
On-the-line, and of enjoying the inter
esting sights to be seen at the Border
Fair. Those people about Bristol merit
Justly, to have had success in their new
enterprise. They have brought to bear
the requisite amount of energy, and have
been liberal with their means. Had
not been otherwise informed, / should
have concluded that the Border Fair and
fair grounds had been one of Bristols
long established institutions--so COM
plete was it In all its details.
There is the ground containing ample
area--the enclosure complete and sub
stantial The building large and web
built with all its arrangements tastefully
and conveniently planned and perfected.
The track for the use of the speed stock,
wide and perfectly graded. The stalls
for the accommodation of stock-exhibit-
ors well built, and in numbers sufficient
to accommodate as many of Virginia
and Tennessee's stock raisers as will, for
years to come, want such accOmmeda-
tiOns. '- '."
The booths for the sale of provisions
conveniently arranged and filled with
the good things we all enjoy so much
on such occasions e. t-GE
Indeed there was nothing lacking in
the preparations made by the people on
the border for this, their first fair.
And fair it was-a genuine exhibit
ton of the industry and enterprise of
the people, in the agricultural and
mechanical There were the bags of
wheat, as perfect as it ever grows. Their
samples of corn as full as any country
can show. Their potatoes, turnips, pum-
kins, cushaws, Rquashes, beets, toma-
toes, frUits-and so many things in this
line, that cannot name them all, and
such an array as will not be beaten, for
quality, anywhere in this region of
country. 1a
Then in the ladies' departmcnt-the
exhibition was largc.-F'rOm roll of
butter, (such as only Upper East Tennes-
see and Southwest Virginia can prOduce),
all along down through every depart
ment of handiwOrk in which ladies en-
gage, to the splendid specimens of paint
ing by Miss Lydc and others, everything
was excellent. All praise is due and will
be given to the ladies for this splendid
display. .@fE .r. ..r.t-
In the stock department there were a
goodly number of entries, and in the
cattle department, especially was the
Fair splendid success.
In the speed ring were entries from
Knoxville and Lynchburg and many in
termediate points.
must mention THAT our townsmen,
John Brown and Thomas H Evans were
successful exhibitors Evans fence de-
serves the notice it attracted, and
Browns wagon work takes the premium
wherever it is exhibited. r..
The managers of the Border Fair pre-
pared to interest visitors, and were re-
warded by patronage enough to make it
a complete financial success.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

MONSEEUR TONSON COME AGAIN.
The Nashville -Bdnaer says: Tenncs-
see Bonds are now down to fifty cents.
Their depression has of late been much
remarked. The cause Of it can emily be
explained by the fact, perhaps, that FediE
road companies soant bonds, and they de-
sire to obtain them at the lowest figure
possible. Another thing which has had
a tendency greatly to depress them is the
failure of the crops and fear that the
Janurry interest win not Bepaid. In a
conversation had with DR.. w. Morrow,
State Treasurer, lie said the State would
pay the january interest on the bonds.
