WHEN Radicals raise the cry of too
much party strife and advise that all
look to competency, not to party, in
the election of county officers, look
out for cheating around the board.
The cry is a ruse to cover the cheat.
but is too thin to hide the cat in the
meal tub, except from the eyes of
those who have an interest in being
cheated Our exchanges make 1t clear
that this game is being extensively
played, and since it is an evidence of
weakness it should redouble cur eff
forts TO make that weakness fatal to
Radicalism.

THE MASS MEETING.


This is our last issue before the
above named meeting will convene, on
next Monday. but we deem it snperhu-
Gus to urge, by argument. or appeal,
the importance Of full and jealous at
tendance of all who are prepared to
cooperate in the work Of political re-
form by the people themselves. Those
who are net already in sympathy with
this movement, can not be aroused to
its Importance, until taught by expert
ence more bitter than any through
which they have passed since that of
Brownlow's malignant rule-and even
that is forgotten by the most patriotic
disOrganizers. But we refer TO the
mass meeting now, not so much as
reminder for the people of the county,
to do their duty, as to correct an erro-
neous impression, that such meeting is
expected to nominate county candi-
dates.
Inasmuch as the call for it was
made by the CHRONICLE, on its own
responsibility, we have right to know
the objects which it was called, and
unless we are mistaken, these objects
were declared to be the appointment
Of delegates to the Gubernatorial, and
Congressional Conventions-the first
to be held in Nashville on the 10Th of
this month, and the otherin this place
on the I'd day of September-and to
elect an executive committee for the
county The nomination of no candi-
date was contemplated, or the meeting
would have been held long enough be-
fore the election to give effect to its ac-
ton. 1t is not nominating conven-
ton any further than the appointment
of delegates and the election of the
committee may be construed as nomi-
nations, and the rumor, no matter what
its motive, is wholly unfounded.

Romance Of an American
Queen.

In 1888 the settlement of Georgia
was commenced by number of Eng
lish people, who were brought owe by
General Oelethorp", and pitched their
tents on the very spot now occupied by
the city OF Savannah.
In his intercourse with the Indians,
he was greatly assisSd by an Indian
woman, whom he found in Savannah,
by the name Of Mary Musgroye. She
had resided among the English in an
other part OF the country, and was well
acquainted with their language. She
was of great use, therefore. to G, neral
OglethOrpe, in interpreting what he
said to the Indians, and what they said
to him. For this purpose he gave her
hundred pounds year.
Among those who came over with
General OglethOrDe was man by the
name of Thomas liesomworth, who was
the chaplain, or minister. of the col
ony. Soon after his arrival he married
the above mentioned Indian woman,
Mary Musgrove. Unhappily, Bosom.
worth Vas at heart bad man, though
by profession q minister of the gospel.
He was distinguished for his pride and
love Of riches and influence. At the
same time, he was ve,y aItful. Vet,
on account OF his profession, he was,
for time, much respected by the In,
dlans.
At one of the great councils OF the
Indians this artiul man Induced some
OF the chiefs 70 crown Malatche, one VI
the greatest among them, and to de-
clare him prince and emperor of all the
Creeks. After this, he made his wife
call herself the eldest sister of Malatche,
and she told the IAdiaRs that one of her
grandfathers had been made king by
the Great Spirit over all the Creeks.
The Indians believed wha5 Mary told
taem, for since General Oglethorpe had
been 50 kind 10 her they had become
very proud of her. They called agreat
meeting OF the chiefs together, and
Mary made them long talk. She told |
them that they had been injured by the |
whites-lhat they were getting away
the lands Of the Indians, and wOull |
soon drive them from all their possess
siOns. Said she: I'VE must assert our
rights must arm ourselves against
tlem-we must drive them trOm our
us call forth our warriors
Il will head them. Stand by me, and
the houses which they have erected
shall smoke in ruins"
The spirit OF Queen Mary was con-
laglons. Every chief present DECLARED
himself ready 10 defend her tO the last
irop vi his blood.
Afler due preparation the warriors
we're called forth. They had painted
themselves Afreeh, and snarpened anew
