from France are likely to prove costly
in the end. lie declares that what was
acquired in six months win have to be
protected by force Ofarms for half a cen
fury to come, since France, notwith-
standing a majority of her people are for
peace, is initiating the German army or

and Lorraine seem determined ne yer
willingly to submit to German rule.

DIR. John Cotton Smith, who, rs a
leading Low Churchman, has often
united with Presbyterian ministers in
religious services, has written a letter,
disloyal 20 the Church by joining with
Bishop Cummins in his secession move
ment. There Is rot yet the slightest evil
dence that the Low Church Sympafhizes
with the seeding Bishop. Indeed, the
only party I'm the Church which IS at
all likely TO secede Is the Ritchualist
party, aud IL is not impossible that the
kitchualists may yet desert the EpiscO-
pat church, and, uniting with Or. Cum
minis new organization, take possess
sion OF It and convert il into a Reformed
Catholic Church.

There was less spirituous liquors
drank in Gallatin, during the time tine
State Grange has been in session there,
than is generally the case in towns or
cities where such large bodies of men
assemble. This was a noticeable fact,
and was mentioned in the pulpit and by
the Master of the State Grange. We
heard a Northern man, whose business
takes him to meetings of Oranges,
remark yesterday, that for sobriety,
intelligence and sociability, the Ten
nessee Changers had the call. The gen.
eral effect OF the meeting at Gallatin last

been apprised as to the rapid increase
of their ranks, to work more diligently
and industriously in the interest, of

Cold. w. Holman.

We take pleasure in transferring to our
columns the following letter in the
Memphis appeal, nominating our dis
tinguished friend and neighbor, Col.
Holman, of Fayetteville, as a suitable
Democratic candidate for Governor.
We know Of no puTer, better man, and
would be proud of an opportunity to
support him:
EDITORS APPEAL.-W Whilst l prefer
the nomination of a citizen OF west
Tennessee for Governor, yet, If we can
not agree upon candidate from thls
portion of the State, and have 70 go TO
Middle or East Tennessee, there IS no
man who combines more elements OF
strength than old LincOln's noble son,
Colonel d. W. Holman. He is, in every
sense of the word, a representative man
of that great Democratic county. Mod
est, unassuming, able and eloquent, he
has every quality necessary TO make
him a popular candidate. He has al
WAYS gone with his people, and his head
and heart are devoted to their best in
terests. Generous, liberal and magnan-
imOus, he is a universal faVorite ~ his
part of the State and no one would
make a more prudent or safe governor
=
and ardent, yet cautious and wise in
council. A true and unflinching DEM
ocrat, he is liberal and progressive :
do not know that he would be willing
to accept the position. In fact, l am
sure he does not desire it. 1t would be
a great pecuniary loss TO him to aban-
don his large and lucrative practice to
enter the field of politics, but if ne
would accept, and Middle Tennessee is
to have the candidate, no more suitable
man could be selected than d. w. Hol-
man. a. DEMOCRAT.
The appeal comments upon tie above
as follows:
'sThe writer of the above was former
iy q citizen of Middle Tennessee, and
knows Col. Holman well. Our position
in reference to this subject is that we
win support the nominee of the con-
vention, regardless of the portion of the
State he may be from, though we prefer
that he should be from this portion of
the States. since West Tennessee has
never yet had governor except Gov.
Harris"

IL Senator BrownlOw concludes his
letter in opposition to the Civil Rights
bill as follows:
eft should be remembered that the
cOlored race, though large in numbers,
constitute very small minority of the
whole people of the United States.
However strongly united, they have no
power to compel concessions from the
whites. Whatever they get must come
as the free gift from the whites. 1t is,
therefore, the part of wisdom upon the
part of the colored people of Tennessee
to be careful upon insisting upon that
which can do no practical good to either
race, but is sure to bring disaster and
ruin to the most useful institution of
modern times-free schools. Let the
colored people of Tennessee ask Con-
gress to desist from any legislation
which enforces mixed schools, and they
will have established a new claim to re-
spect and confidence. Let the colored
people have their own schools and
churches and the white people have
theirs. Let the eolored people have
fair divide of the school fund and they
will find their own teachers and preach
ers." w. @. BRowNLow.

The Importance of correct punctuation
was strongly illustrated, the other day at
a meeting of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, when it was shown that a comma
in one place was worth 100000. In
the tariff bill which went into effect
August LIST, 1872, the free list was ex-
tended by the additions of several
hundred articles. Among the number
added was "fruit plants, tropical and
semi-tropical," for the purpose of
propagation and cultivation. In en-
crossing the bill, or in the process of
copying it for official printing, a comma
was inserted after fruit" and all fruit
was thereby placed upon the free list.
The custom officers, however, not
noticing the change, continued to collect
duties on fruit until the error was dis
covered. The Ways and means Com
mittee have now agreed to report bill
to remove the comma, in accordance
with the intent of the law of 1872. The
amount of taxes Illegally collected is not
far from $4,000, 00O.-BdnRer.
