the present tax law, who have thought
about it and have a remedy on hand.
This is good advice. We have before
observed that the Legislative canvass
is the most important to the people of
Tennessee. This assessment law is an
example Of what Improbable men
may do 10y way of expressing their
constituents. Let us elect such men,
aud such only as we would entrust
with important private interests.
Capable and good men do not, as a
general thing, covet seats in the Leg
islature, but the people should see to it
that none others are sent. Men who
go to the Legislature for the purpose
Of electing this or that man to the
United States Senate, or with mere
view to making it a stepping stone to
something else, are not the men to help
us out of our financial difficulties.

THE KENTUCKY PULPIT SPEAKS.

1t has long been a notorious fact that
nowhere in the United States was
lawness more outrageous or more toll
Grated by those in authority than in
Central and Southern Kentucky. No
picture Of the worst results Of carpet
bag" rule in the South, presents such
an array of crimes or such shameless de-
reelection of duty as is true Of Ken
lucky. The press has spoken fearlessly
Of II, but 1t seems TO have had but little
effect Now the pulpit is laundering
at the criminals, and we are anxious
TO see what results this new ally Of
law and order will bring about.
4 late issue Of the Louisville
press brings us the text of a
sermon delivered on Sunday the 18th
inst, in Frankfort Kentucky, by Rev.
B, 3. Tyler, and published by request
Of his congregation. 1t is fearless
denunciation of crime and a burning
reproof to those who have suffered it
to grow and get the mastery. The
Reverend gentleman's picture Of soci-
ETY. in that section is given as follows /:
Men have been maltreated, driven
! from home, wives and daughters raw
ished, crops taken and crops destroyed,
men have been shot down, ducked In

TIE Courier Journal, the leading
Democratic Journal of the South is not
very well satisfied with the prospects
of the Democratic party, or with its at.

The trouble with the Democratic
organization has been, and is now, Il
deficiency of principles. 1t has, dur

cratic party had toward the close of the

the opportunity of reaSserting its ira

as living, breathing issues, by taking
its stand firmly by hard money and

the debate over "A third term, and

diately after the acknowledgements of

JOHN MITCHELL.

Our dispatches of Tuesday morning
stated that John Mitchell, Of New
York, sometimes known as the Irish
Patriot was going to return to Ire
land, with the intention Of entering
actively into politics in that country.
1t will be remembered that he was the
leader of the Young Ireland" party
in the revolutionary agitation of lS4S,
and by his bold and daring acts so
offended her Majesty, Queen Victoria,
that he was arrested, tried and con-
victed, and sentenced to penal servi-
tude. He passed Il few years in the
penal colonies of Burmuda and Van
Dieman's Land, when he escaped and
came to the United States.
Speaking of his return to Ireland,
the New York Herald says:
ut is his intention to enter the
British Parliament as a home ruler
One of the most prominent men of the
party will retire in order to secure his
immediate election. As Mr.. Mitchell
is, in the eyes of the British law, Il
convict whose term of punishment is
uneXplred, his temperance on the
political scene may create some diff
Guilty. In view of the length of time
which has elapsed, and the amnesty
granted 10 the other participatOrs in
the AS movement, it is not likely that
any attempt will be made TO interfere
with his freedom of action. The intlu-
euce welded in Ireland 10y the exile
is greater than that which any other
home rule leader can lay claim to, and
he will therefore he a formidable addi-
ton to the party"
Mr.. Mitchell was once a resident OF
this city, and conducted a newspaper
here called the Southern Citizen. He
is a writer of acknowledged ability,
and, although his enterprise here was
/ a financial failure, he created some stiI
in the political world. He got into &
personal difficulty with some Of oul
local politicians, and, while he may
not have been very popular, he wa.
never after this difficulty suspected o
being without pluck" He wen
from here to Richmond, and after
wards to New York. He has been al
the time, we believe. connected witt
the press.
He is Il bold, daring, reckless man
and If he succeeds in getting into thu
British Parliament, he will create
/ sensation among the adherents 0
Queen Victoria and her policy. Hi
appearance there will be u novelty il
the history of that Government. II
will advocate with all his power tn
right Of Irishmen to control the affair
of Ireland, and we will not be SUI
prised to hear Of him getting into NOR
trouble. This will just suit him
| though, for he courts excitement an
takes to that element just as natural

than twenty four hours. Between 2
aud 4 Sunday afternoon rain fell in
stupendous floods, the eliminating
point of the shower being i'm Washing

violence. Ashley brook was swollen
to a torrent, and the reservoir If water

THE MASSACHUSETTS, FLOOD.

The great flood in Massachusetts,,
details of which appeared in our tele-
graphic dispatches, was Of most de-
structive character. The aggregate
loss exceeded S3jO,0OO. Mills, houses,
bridges, &c, were swept away, and
other property destroyed aud damaged.
Farms, cities and towns were inunda-
ted, but fortunately no lives were lost.
-Four bridges were swept away in
Chester which place suffered more
than any other point. The Boston and
Albany railroad was badly damaged
for a distance OF twenty miles. A
special dispatch from Chester explains
how the accident there occurred, as
follows:
about twelve years ago the second
reservoir was built, about thirty miles
further up the stream, by the Church
Bros. This was smaller than the lower
one, and covered from fifty to eighty
acres The upper reservoir broke
away first and swept over the lower
reservoir, with an immense volume Of
water, making break of about four
rods in the highway dam Of the lower
reservoir. The upper reservoir was
built Of earth, and the whole dam sud-
denly gave way. Harry Meacham
was at the reservoir at the time, aud
made haste 10 warn the pcu le of
Brush Hollow. His warning ard the
fact that but part Of the lower reservoir
dam gave way, prevented loss Of life,
and also very much lessened the dau'
age done. ..
