The ST. Paul Press says: the stage
from Fl Garry was overhauled by
masked highwaymen Wednesday night
at Elm Coaie; but on seeing large
load of passengers dismount from the
coach, the robbers disappeared in the
woods. The express messenger and
several passengers armed themselves at
the stage station and kept sharp look
ont for highwaymen till they reached
Georgetown, but met with no further
molestation.

Col. McElwee's Circular.

Col. McElwee, q candidate 70 repre-

lature, publishes lengthy circular in
this issue of the Posi-, for which he
pays as advertising matter. 1t will be
seen that in one or two places his argu-
ment is a little in the forcible feeble
style; though the views expressed may
generally be in accord with the popular
tendency at this time. There are two
sides 10 every question, and good deal
might DO said against the repeal of the
ten per cent law; but popular clamor
will demand repeal, and the candidate
In this section who may take ground
against it will hardly occupy seat In
the next General Assembly. A leading
and cardinal feature Of TIE platform
adopted by the State Convention which
met at Nashville last month ana nOmi-
mated Judge Porter for Governor, is
"that all honest labor shall DO protect
ed, and receive its just reward" Col.
McElwee embraces this idea in his poll
cy, and so far at least we can agree with
him,

A Georgia Candidate.

The following from the North Geor-
gia Citizen is seasonable:
Mn. EDITOR You will confer IA
vor on remote nosterity by announcing
TO the unirammeled voters OF Whit
field county that | am a candidate for
the legislature. To the sturdy yeomap-
nv, the hardfisied farmer, the toiiing
mechanic, the bone aud sinew OF tho
county. IL il due that | should state
what blessings will attend my election:
First, am In favor OF every man hav-
ing his rights. aud let's too II he insists
on it. This is only justice, aud IL II re-
quires n public meeting once week |
am in favor OF holding IT, aud guaran-
teeing 10 every Que who votes for the his
rights even Il t requires to bcldone by
resolutions When man has no
rights then | am In fayer OF raising
rights by judicious amendment OF tho
road and garnishmcnt laws, and pro-
per modification OF homestead and COM
mon school laws.
I Secondly: Every man shall have an
Office, whether he wants II or not. IL
( he can't fill IL he can take his wife TO
: help him, This will promote domestic
harmony aud conduce to the inaugural
! lion CT ''larger benefits aud less ex-
pense," and will be essentially, "ro-
ronohmont aud reform"
Thirdly: Every man under nv pro-
gramme will attend TO his own business,
and, If he has time, look after his neigh
boris, which will be the means OF keep
! ing local business ont ofthe legislature.
The perpleXing question of interest
will dispose of in manner satisiac-
tory TO all parties, both borrowers aud
lenders. My plan Is TO give every man
what money he needs. This will please
! the borrower, because he will not have
to pay any interest; and will suit the
! lender, because he will not be compelled
TO look after has interest
! Under my plan We will have no need
of tho Justices of the Peace, because
every mau having as much money rs
he needs will pay without suit, With
this accomplished we will be able to
watch and seize every opportunity of
promoting the material interests Of this
county particularly and sccocdarily.

The Senatorial Contention.

The proceedings OF the Convention
held here last Saturday will be found
on the local page of our paper. Col. a.
BLIZZARD, OF this place, was nominated,
and, as far as we have heard, the nomi-
nation gives satisfaction throughout the
District with the exception Of one or
two localities in McMiDn county. We
are pretty certain Col. B. did not want
the nomination we are positive he did
not seek il, and we have no evidence at
this writing that he will even now ac-
cept it-though we hope he will. He
has ability, is able to meet the expen-
ses and sacrifices of the canvass, and
can be elected If his views upon the
moro important questions likely to en-
gage the attention Of the Legislature
are in accord with popular opinion.
1t is proper 10 state that Capt. John
Turley, whose name occurs in the bal
lettings, did not design to be before the
Convention at all-except in the contin.
gency indicated in his card published
two or three weeks ago. He was put
in nomination by his friend without
consultation or through misapprehen-
sion, though he has no censure for any
one about it. We make this statement
at the request Of Capt. Turley, and be-
cause he told us only half hour before
the Convention met that he would not
be before it except as stated above.
We were not member of the Con.
vention, and witnessed only small por-
ton Of its proceedings, which we learn
were harmonious, We think, however
1t was little hasty in nominating Col.
BLIZZARD, who was absent at Knoxville
preparing for the Snnreme Court with
out ascertaining definitely whether he
would accept His failure TO do so no w
would seriously complicate the situa-
ton, and in all probability lose US the
Senatorial District.

Another Itape,
We clip the following from the Jones'
borough Herald and Tribune:

We clip the following from the Jones'
borough Herald aud Tribune:
Last Sunday during service at tho
Campmeeting at Bonds camp ground,
in Sullivan county, a white boy named
Jas, Cox, aged II years, caught one Of
three little girls that had retired TO the
woods only short distance from tho
encampmeut, and was In the act OF com
hitting tho hellish deed when he was
discovered by two gentlemen who
heard the piteous cries Of the innocent
child. He was Immediately arrested,
and hurriedofr TO Blountvlle Jail in or
der to keep the outraged public from
hanging him on the ground. The little
girl aged only9 years Gelongs 10 high
~ respected family, and We are also in
formed that Cox is the son OF respect
able parents. Never in the history Of
our country has there been known so
many crimes Of this nature being com
mi,ed II seems that almost every
means possible has been used TO deter
man, but all have failed. Even The Sc
verest punishment. il 100 easy on q man
guilty OF this crime. When the proof Is
positive without doubt II IL well they
should be disposed Of as soon as pos.
sible.
Cox was tried at Blountvlle on Mon
day evening before justice Robt. Rhca,
and VIM. Storbus. His bail was fixed ut
$4,000, but being unable TO give the re-
CURED bond he was rc.commiied 10
Jail to await trail at the next torn Of tho
Circuit Court.
We agree with our contemporary that
such cases should be disposed Of as soon
as possible, and regret that tho people
didn't treat Cox as they did the negro

No Mixed Schools.

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention at Memphis made up largely OF
colored delegates, passed the following
resolutions:
We affirm, as the fundamental princi.
pies OF this Government, the civil and
political equality Of all citizens, without
distinction Of race, creed or color. The
Republican party has never claimed or
desired to force the social equality OF
different races or individuals of the
same race. We recognize the line OF
distinction between civil and political
and social and private rights as clear
and distinct In the nature Of things and
yet we reject with scorn tho issue OF
race against race (as rendered by the
Democracy, which has already resulted
in wholesale murder, and which, il per-
sisted in, will plunge us again into the
horrors Of anothcrcivil war. We mel.
Their desire or seek the invasion of the
rights of whites by colorcd citizens,

social equality, except before The law,

his opinion without interference or mo.

poses TO open the canvass at Benton,

It likely Gen. Stokes and Col. Nelson
will both be with him. 1t is only some
six weeks to the election, and if list
Of appointments are to be made at all,

Monroe County.

There was but slim attendance a,
Madisonville last Monday, and money
mighty scarce The farmers Of Monroe
like those of McMinn, are holding their
wheat for higher market. The corn
crop of Monroe is short--hog crop dit
to. Politics are little lively, though
there, as in an adjoining county, they
have some Acknowledgement whom a
little disappointment and adversely new
err fail to make miserable. We thank
God wo have none Of that in our com.
position, and that we can always lift
ourselves above the clouds and laugh
ut the rafting arrows Of the storm be-
low! Philosophy, my boy.
When Court adjourned at noon, the
members Of the Monroe County Aeri-
cultural Association assembled, and
were addressed at some length by Col.
Fl. b. Yearwo God, it's efficient President.
When II comes 10 running Fair, talk
Ing about farming and stock-raising, or
making q pretty speech to tho women,
Col. Y. can't be beat in this country. If,
however, he will take the advice Of one
who at least wishes him no harm, he
will keep out of politics and the wild
hunt for office. He is entirely too de-
cent man to succeed at that sort thing.
His remarks on Monday, urging tho
members of the Association, and the
people generally, to take u more active
and absorbing part in the success Of
the Fair and tho important interests IN
volved, were well conceived aud i'm
pressively delivered. We shall be dis
appointed II the Monroe County Fair
this Fall does not prove greater sue
cess even than that of last year.
We met with Congressman Thorn
burgh at Madisonville Monday, who

return to Portland DR.. Minor reported
