In my simplicity l thought | was get

in laying up about pint of tears-be
the same more or less-to shed for the
last, in August; but few strokes of the

was not aware, when l wrote those
unfortunate sentences, that procured my
expulsion from Eden, that headquarters
and headquarters had respectively issued
orders forbidding such family affairs.
Hitherto, it has been allowable, on the
eve of an important event that sometimes
happens IN the best regulated families
to talk about a name But it is not so
now.
The newspapers are inviting everybody
out to mighty log-rolIing in the fall
Country people like to assist their neighs
bors in their heavy work, but knowing
little, and cariUg less, about the conven,
tionalities of society, they always like to
know ,cho they are working for; at least,
they want to know his name. When l
asked the specific name Of the party, that
was to defeat the radicals, l asked an
innocent question, or, at least, it was in
nocently asked And when | suggest
ed name, | did so in good faith, but
perhaps it was an objectionable pre-
sumption in me, to do so. And when
the BULLETIN, kindly and courteously
ruled that question and suggestion out
of order, it simply exercised an unques-
toned privilege, and tenderly put in
pra3 tical operation, on small scale,
the recent gag law of Congress.
There is one thing that the world, the
flesh, and the devil. knows, and that IS
this there is a name laid up in lavender
and other sweet smelling herbs, and
whatever com binaticn defeats the radi-

What the Bar Says as to the Chan
cellor's Election

1t is most important that we shall have
able judges
Do not fail to look at your ticket to see
if the Chancellor's name is on it.
There have been some tickets issued
which have NO BLANKS for the name of
Chancellor.
Let every Judge of the election call
the attention of every voter to the fact
before he votes; that he must Eote for
Chancellor on the same ticket that he
votes for county officers and if he does
not, he lOoses his chance to vote for
Chancellor.
Read the following address of the
lawyers ofall the counties:

UiSiOR Of the State of Tennessee, COM
posed Of the counties of Madison, Har-
denean, Hayrood, Lauderdale, Upton

Upon the resignation Of Hon. james
| Fentress as Chancellor in 1872, HENRY
j. LIVINGSTON was, at the solicitation Of
number of the members of the bar of
| this Division, appointed by the Govern
or to ill the vacancy so coca toned until
/ the general election for county officers
| on the 6tl of August next, at which time
all vacancies in judicial Offices art to be
/ filled by election. The time being now
near at hand when Chancellor Living>
ston s term by appointment Will expire,
! we take occasion to say that in our prac~
! tice before him as Chancellor we have
! found him TO possess in a very eminent
! degree the talent and learning required
! for that Office. He is patient and un-
/ firing in his labors upon the bench and
] in the investigation of questions arising
before him; he possesses unbOunded
! energy, and an executive ability and
management which insures dispatch Of
| business; so much so, indeed, that but
few causes are now upon the dockets of
/ his courts, of long standing. Nothing is
! farther from our desire than In any case
/ to seem to dictate to the people whom
/ they should elect, but as members of the
| bar whose business has brought them
| so frequently before Chancellor Living
stOn, we feel that it is not only not i'm
proper to make these statements, but
that when Iuerited we should give testi-
mony to the worth of judicial officers,
anu psA3CElb5 bhGb AAO Lap AiFEu GutEI Z
satisfaction to beth the bar aud the peo
pie, and that his place could not be bet
ter filed, we earnestly solicit your votes
for his reelection lie left a lucrative
practice and has now been upon the
bench a little less than two years, and
J we believe Q worthy man should be en-
couraged and in addition to this he
has now acquired familiarity with the
cases upon the dockets, which is very
essential in ChancerY causes, the nature
of a great many of which require orders
at every court for many different terms,
and which is not only convenience to the
solicitors and litigants, but assists very
materially in the dispatch of business,
( resulting in the economy Ct the public
time and the Tubhc money.
! Therefore we again ask his election to
/ the Office of Chancellor on the 9th day
/ of the coming August.

Look upon this Picture, then upon
That

The Republican party is the Civil
Rights and negro equality party as shown
by the following taken from the address
of the National Republican Executive
Committee just issued
"The 14th amendment to the Consti-
tuition is not enforced by appropriate
legislation Millions of American cit~
liens arc denied even the common law
rights of locomotion because they are
black If such wrongs are to be res
dressed, the Republican party alone can
do it.
The conservatives and democrats of
the whole country are opposed to this
measure, and the following from the pros
ceedings of the Democratic State con-
vention of Indiana held on the 18th ult
is fair reflex of the sentiments of the
party throughout the Union;
We are in favor of liberal system of
education for the benefit of the negro,
as well as the white children of Indiana,
but opposed to a mixture Of the blac K
and white races in our public schools or
orther educational institutions. The
civil rights bill recently passed by the
Senate of the United States, and now
pending in the House Of Representa-
tives, presents an issue of vital moment
to the American people, and calls upon
them to decide at the ballot box whether
they will or not be coerced to absolute
social as we'll as political equality of the
| negro race with themselves. We view
with adherence this attempt on the
part of the Federal Government to take
control Of all schools, colleges, churches
| hotels, railroads, steamboats,, theaters,
and graveyards, for the purpose of ostab-
fishing regro equality, and enforcing il
under numerous penalties OF fines, dam,
ages and imprisonments. We arraigu
Senators Morton and Pratt before the
people Of Indiana for their votes in favor
of this atrociOus measure, and shall ask
for judgements against them at the
hands other constituents, whom they

Only One Ball"t Box at Each Voting
Place in the County at the August
Election

In the face Of the law Of 1870, and by
rirtue Of an honest mistake, heretofore
it has been announced that separate ball
Iot boxes would be provided at each of
the voting places in the county on the
9th of August; one for the votes for
county officers and the other for the
votes for Chancellor. 1t was also uns
derstood that the corner would hold the
election for county affairs while the sher.
il would hold the election for Chancel>
lor This arrangement was all wrong
as the law expressly provides for the
holding of the August election by the
coroner of the county, the sheriff being
disqualified from discharging any part
Of this duty by reason Of his position as
q candidate for reelection. 1t is proper
to say that the law governing the case
was overlooked by the sherlffs' legal adj
visers on this occasion, and hence no
blame can be attached to him or any
one else, as it was an honest mistake all
around Now that it is settled that one
ballot box is to suffice at each voting
place, every voter should see that the
words For Chancellor are on his
ticket, and let him be sure to FIJI cut the
blank provided for the name Of the cans
didate for Chancellor before voting
Many tickets were distributed, on which
the words For Chancellor did not up
pear. See that they are corrected and
made complete in the manner indicated
or do not vote them or you will lose
your vote for Chancellor of this district,
which is a very important matter at this
particular time. And last though not
least, vote for H. j. Livingston
-~-~S~----
Boyd, the radical candidate for Chan
celIor, was requested to define his posts
ton on the civil rights bin at Jackson
last Monday while speaking to eight or
nine hundred negroes; but he skulked
behind the shadow of his own miserable
pretentions and refused to say whether
he was for it or against it. However,
this artful dodge is well understood, and
the white people know that he manages
to make his views plainly known to the
coored people on this important guess
ton, and favorably too, or they would
not throw up their hats for him win
the people make note of this2
ERRArA.-In last weeks BULLETIN we
published small paragraph concerns
ing postal affairs and said that the law
repeating the act requiring payment of
postage on newspapers delivered in the
counties where printed went into effect
on the first day of the present month.
This was an error, and we take occasion
to say that the law does not go into effect
until January 1, 1875. The postage on
each weekly newspaper up to that time
will be at the rate of twenty cents year,
or five cents per quarter.
