Previous to the late wal the ladies of
the country formed an association un-
der the name Of ''The Mount Vernon
Ladies' Association of the Union"
having for its object the purchase and
preservation of the home and tomb of
Washington. The officers of the asso-
citation consisted of a Regent. and one
Vice Regent for each State in the
Union. The late esteemed Mrs. f. B.
Fogg was the Vice Regent for Tennes-
see to the time of herdeath. Her place
is now filed by Mrs. Aaron V. Brown,
who presents an appeal to the people
of Tennessee on the subject, to which
we invite special attention, and trust
that it will be responded to with the
patriotic generosity for which Tennes-
see is proverbial, and withpromptitude.
The Association has purchased the
tomb and adjacent grounds, and the
present call is for contributions to a
fund, which shall be permanent, the In
terest applicable to the repairs and care
necessary to preserve and. keep and
adorn from year to year this shrine to
the freemen of america. Mrs. Brown
has accepted the position as well from
her own patriotic impulses, as from a
desire that Tennessee shall not lack the
way in which our people may contrib
ute their offerings, great and small, to
the most noble and worthy of objects.

FHE SOUTH NOT THE DEBTOR SEC.
TION.

The Atlanta Herald says that in a
conversation with Gen. Toombs a few
days ago, that gentleman not only de-
MED the proposition Of the South be-
ing heavily involved, but asserted a
fact that in his long experience at the
bar, he had never known the people of
Georgia so free from debt, and that he
believed the same condition of affairs
existed throughout the South. The
people, he remarked, were poor, but
they owed less than they had at any
previous time within his knowledge.
The contraction of the credit system,
and the extraordinary facilities afforded
by the laws of most of the States for
the prompt collection Of debts, had, as
a general rule, forced a settlement of
all transactions during the year. What
the people really needed was common
sense 10 make theirown living at home,
which would enable them to enjoy the
proceeds Of their surplus instead of
sending it to the North and West to
pay for the necessaries of life. With
that sort of economy money would be
abundant at the South without attempt
ing to make it so by watering it.

CANNOT BE DISPENSED WITH.

The Jackson Courier, which might be
/" Independent" if it could get rid of
its p~rejudices against D. Democracy, "sees
no special cause In u Democratic
friends for rejoicing over the Connect
cut election" 1t goes on to predict
that, as a party, it viii never elect an
other President, arguing that ''thename
Z Democrat whether just or not, is
i~ndissolubly connected with secession
and the terrible calamities of our late
war" Does the Courier accuse the
people of Connecticut of voting for Sc
cession? They must have done so, if
the name Democrat is "indissolubly
connected" with secession. And so
of New Hampshire, as well as
the great States of Ohio and
New York. Are all these in favor
of secession, when they vote the Dem
ocratic ticket? This is a redWctio ad
absurdunp of so-called independence.
AS well assert that the name Democrat
is ~indissolutely connected with
slavery. The fact Is, secession and
slavery are no more connected with
Democracy than John Adams SedsEon
Laws, or the Old National Bank, or
Knownothingism, or any other past and
settled Issue. The Democracy deals with
live issues and is always abreast of the
times. Since the war, it has, if any
thing, been ahead of the people In dig
corning the signs ofthet times. 1t exposed
the shortcomings of Radicalism long
before a Liberal Republican was heard
of. 1t denounced the growing cOrrup-
ton in high places long before Congress
condescended to even white-wash, not
to say investigate. 1t cried for reform,
ahead of any attempt to organize a Re-
form party. it denounced monopoly
long before the forming of any Anti
monopoly party. 1t showed how these
evils affected the workman IN the field
or in the shop, long before the Grange
movement or the SOvereigns of Indus
try. Ali these are but the children of
Democracy, the results Of its un-
ceasing labors and teachings. 0uF
party has at length aroused
all these to the fact that
war issues are dead, and new issues are
upon us. The mission of the Democ-
racy is now, to combine and hold to-
gether all these various classes, for
effective work-offering a bond of po-
litical unity for political action-leay-
ing the farmer to promote his agricult.
ure, the merchant his commerce., and
the mechanic or laborer his industrial
interests, each to the best of his knowl-
edge or ability, while all combine to
throw off the political incubus that
%aficts all. The stronger and more nu-
merous these various movements be-
come, the more need is there for a
purely political party like the Democ-
racy, as broad and as true to the inter-
ests Of all classes and sections as the
constitution of the United States.

HON. ALEX. H. STEPHENS in the

Benz. H. Hills recent historical adj
dress, of which mention has been made
in this paper. Mr.. Stephens reason
ing is very cogent and has the effect of
sweeping Nh. Hill from some of his po-
sitions; but, considering that it is given
III the interest of historic truth,
the personal severity with which
it is accompanied is unpardona-
bic. Its severity is 30 vehe.
ment that it can hardly be described
as less than vituperation. This is the
serious weakness of the reply, and
could scarcely have proceeded from Mr..

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives Random Butler the
following lift" in his Congressional
race against Gillenwaters:
"Six years ago, when Butler ran for
Congress, the cry was raised that he
had been a rebel. The charge was
proved abundantly, but it did no good.
Two years after the charge was made
that he had collected large amounts of
pension money belonging TO poor
widows, and kept the same. But he
walked over the track, the united Oppo-
sition of the pension women availing
nothing. Again, two years after, the
fact that he had sold a cadet appoint
ment was urged against him, but he
talked el~oquently about it to the
'mountain boys" and they reelected
him."

gard to temperature, rainfall, wind

facts of great Importance alike to all
productive industry, inland and foreign

excess of rain of about Il inches. April

pensing cloud-water.

TENNEssEE's POWER IN CONGRESS.

1t is of no use to argue with people
who are preiudiced against conyen-
tons, as the fact of making such argu-
ments is taken as conclusive of COM
plicity in some ring which wishes to
run a convention. Consequentlythe only
remaining course for the foes of Radi-
calism is to submit to the inevitable,
and let the spirit of independence have
it's perfect work, that its advocates
may see how they will fare in that kind
of a campaign against the compact
masses of the Republican party
Chattanooga Times.
Experience is a dear school, but Ten
nesseeans have been through the mill
once, and as d result are represented in
Congress by seven Republicans to three
Democrats, when these figures might
readily be reversed. On several of the
most important measures before Con-
gress the vote has been so close that a
proper delegation from Tennessee
would have decided the result. The
people are very apt t. think of this,
before repeating the fofly of 1872.

In the debate IN the House Of Rep
resentatives ON the 10th inst, Mr.
Dawes attempted to set himself right
OF the question of the Presidents
salary and perquisites. In his speech
on the finances some two or three
months ago., he stated that the Presl-
dents salary and emoluments amounted
to about 100000 a year@s5O.OOO
salary, and the remainder IN miscella-
neous appropriations for the mainten-
ance of his household He said that
the word perquisites subjected his
speech to a wrong construction, u he
proceeded to show that there was
provided last year for the servants
furniture, repairs and contin-
gent expenses of the White House
over S57 1000, besides an approprl
alton of $4,000 for the conservatory
and some other plums. be said that
while the distinction between perquis-
ties and necessary household expenses
might be drawn, there was no doubt
about the amount of money that was
expended. He showed the House that,
even if the salary of the President
were reduced to the old figures, the
| President and his household would cost
the country $4,000 a year. The read
err will bear in mind that the country
was promised economy by the Grant
party, while he is costing about $780,
900 a year more than any other Presi-
| dent we have had. And the laborlng
man will bear in mind that while his
wages have been cut down, Grants sal
airy has been doubled. The Repubh-
can beats all parties We have ever had
at making pledges and failing to re-
deem them.

NEE Waskinqton RepnbIieal

THE Washington Republican of the
10th inst. has this paragraph:
eff the people of the United States
have ever expressed themselves une-
ouivocally upon any subject, it was in
opposition to subsidies and land grants
10 railroad companies. Yet the House
of Representative have just given away
to the Central Wisconsin Railroad half
g million acres of choice land, valued
ST about S25. OOO, 1000. The voice of the
people does not seem to reach Wash
ington."
1t is thus that Congress, with Its
two.thirds Republican majority in each
house, ignores the well-known wishes
Of the people. And the Republican
Leaders, in Congress will continue to do
90 until the people punish them for dis
regarding the plainest duty.
