some five or six years since became the
editor and publisher Of the Record and
Farmer. He has been in poor health
for several months but had been confined
to his room hut two weeks before his
death. His funeral took place Tuesday
afternoon and was attended by the Ma.
sonic fraternity, Odd Fellows and En-

Ethel, a six year old daughter of B.
M. Buddington, who lives near the mill
dam in Centerville, was drowned Thurs
day afternoon of last week, by falling
from an out building, down an embank-
ment forty feet high, into the brook.
Another little girl who was with her, and
also fell in, crawled out unaided, though
badly injured by striking the rocks in
the descent. All efforts to fnd the body
of the drowned girl were vain up to
Monday owing to high water, and the
pond was to have been drained as soon
as the water subsidized.

iTnE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.

The Memphis appeal comes into the
Senatorial contest with double-leaded
editorial, occupying three-fourths of
column of it's valuable space. The
point it drives at is that the whole thing
must be settled at an early day by the
fat of aSenatorial caucus, in which
Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture are to participate. There are nine
Republican members in the Legisla-
ture, and we presume the object of
caucus will be to prevent these nine
from electing q Republican Senator.
OF course this caucus is not in the in
terest of any individual, or any class
of individuals, but for the good of the
party.
One Of the interesting questions that
will come before the caucns, will be
whether ex-President Johnson'sfr
shall come into it or not. He placed
himself outside of the party, by his
bold illusions to John @. Brown and
his administration, and it viii be inter-
esting to know whether he will be a..
lowed the privilege of competing with
the Generals and Colonels in a party
caucus. Andy has been considered
dead as a mackerel, and it will be
little funny if those who officiated at
his funeral, should be present at his
resurrection, bringing about that event
by their own acts. Stranger things
have happened. johnson doesn't by
the way, admit that he is corpse at

4 MYSTERIOUS ARMY DEFALCA.
THAN
New York Sun, Dec.


There is rrlmor prevalent in army
circles that another army Paymaster
has come to grief. The amount of the
defalcation is this time stated to be
happily only $4,000. The rumor is to
the effect that the accused has been
found guilty, dismissed, ordered to be
confined in the Albany Penitentiary.
The details are so meagre, and the
whole affair shrouded in s1eh mystery,
that we withhold the name for the pres
ent. The court martial orders prOmul-
eating the proceedings have so far. we
are informed, been circulated only
among the staff officers. AS this sub
ject of defalcation, trial or MONTREAL,
and imprisonment with al the chances
of almost immediate pardon, is deeply
interesting to the taxpayers of our
country, we trust it will not be long
before the whole details are made pub
lie.

colored people. Carter may live and
learn that laws can be no wiser nor
better than the sovereign voters, for
whose benefit they are enacted. OF all
machines, the legislature is most
worked, and least understood. II this
machine is operated in way to cause
the negro to steal, as the colOred race
believe, how is it with favored monop-
olies and ofice-holders, from credit
mobiliers down, as it affects the white
race? A certain United States Senator
has recently said in public lecture
that men "steal to get into good soci-
ety." it is SO fashionable to rob the
federal treasury and one another.

Is 4 STAY LAW THE REnEDY9

The suggestion by the Brownsville
Bee that, as a means for bridging the
hard times, a stay-law be enacted by
the coming Legislature, TO remain in
operation one year, is ehciting various
remarks from our State exchanges.
We have ourselves expressed the hope
that affairs were not so desperate, and
If we mango to scramble through this
winter, all would be well. Our obser-
walton Of human nature has been that
stay-laws are, IN practice, treated as
new lease for extravaganza, impairing
the incentive to economy by postponing
the day of evil, and leaving debtors
worse of II the end. If all private
debts were abolished to-day, the open
field for the contraction Of new ones
would prove irresistibly tempting, and,
at the end Of a single year, the griev-
ance Of debt would in all likelihood be
as burdensOme as ever. So. If all mu-
nicipal, State and public debts were
wiped cut tomorrow, we fear much
that demagogues would soon be found,
with persuasive eloquence and pllusi-
bic schemes OF public improvements FOR
the benefit of 1.-The people" to plunge
us back into the same inevitable slough
of despond, in the course Of a very
few years.
1t is not well for man to be relieved
suddenly and completely from the pen
alties of his folly. Nature does not so
pardon violations Of her laws, whether
physical, financial or political Econo. /
my and retrenchment, in private as
well as public, is our remedial course.
If We would avoid a repetition in the /
future of our present evils of public (
and private debt, we must struggle on. /
Otherwise the bitter lesson of the past !
fifteen months will be utterly lost on |
US.

suggestion Of a stay-law, is the follow
ing from the Bristol Courier:
Bankrupt, stay and exemption laws
serve only to impair the obligations of
debtors, and to that extent render men
dishonest, and it would be blessing if
they could all be abolished. Let every
one understand that if he or she con-
tracts debt it must be met promptly;
then we viii have some hope of our
people quitting their extravagant hab-
its and practicing a little wholesome
economy.
There is a good deal of what might
be termed sound, Granger sense in
that. On the other side of the argu-
ment, we quote from the Winchester
Home Journal as follows:
The Brownsville Bee, which is publish
ed IN one of the most opulent towns and
one o. the richest cotton growing coun-
ties in Tennessee, says that thousand
dollars worth Of the best personal
property IN the city of Brownsville, if
put up at auction to-day, would not
bring one hundred dollars in cash. So
it is all over the State. So it is here In
Winchester. We venture the asser-
ton that property In Winchester
which a few years since would have
brought five thousand dollars at public
outcry, would not to-day bring one
thousand dollars. The people cannot
stand this. We need more money, or,
IN other words, we need currency 50
cheap that the bOndholders can be paid
off and capitalists satisfied without
ruin to the country.
All our contemporary says about the
scarcity of money, and the ruinous
sacrifice of cash sales, may be true,
without proving the widespread dis
tress that is predicated upon it. We
are happy in the belief that our people
are not nearly so badly off as some
would have US believe. 1t must be re-
membered that Tennessee is mainly an
agricultural State. The farmer makes
food and shelter for his family, though
he handle but a few dollars In the
course of the year. The city mechanic
must have wages, or starve. In every
part of the country just now times are
hard and money difficult to get. Ne
braska and Kansas farmers are starv-
ing through the failure of their crops;
in the East, working men and women
are starving for want of work and
wages. The most favored regions are
those which are poor in money only.
Such is the condition of Tennessee.
There Is no real poverty among us.
Notwithstanding some short crops,
none of our people lack for the neces-
saries Of life. The barbecues and feast
gatherings of the past summer and fall
were universally noted for their 7ich-
ness and abundance. They gave no
token of distressed people. After all
Is said, we have more money to-day,
per capita, than our fathers or grand
fathers. The trouble is we have learned
more extravagant ways than they In
dulged. We must unlearn those ways,
enough at least to live within our ac-
tual means, before we can hope TO bet
ter our condition. We have been liv-
ing too fast, and now the day of reck-
oning has come.

THE ONLY SAFE WAY TO INITIATE.


1t seems strange to Us that the
UNION AND AMERICAN, dependent in
a large degree upon subscriptions from
the country, can use its influence in
favor of the present contraction policy,
and talk about managing to scramble
through the winter, while thousands
are groaning in honest impecuniosity.
This is not moral democracy, whether
it be legal Democracy or not. As the
Bee say: I'VE must bear and forbear,"
and we can see no escape from impend-
ing financial distress and ruin, or Com
munism, save in a wise policy of mia
ton, or a stay law to protect the vast
majority Of our people. That Is what
the result of the late elections means.
-IVinehester HCme Journal
The Home Journal seems TO misun-
derstand the financial views of this
journal, Judging by its representation
of us as being in favor of "the present
contraction policy" We have never
advocated contraction, and do not be-
Heve in Boutwell's theory that specie
resumption can be reached by mere
contraction. No matter how great or
small the volume of greenbacks, they
can never be worth gold till they are
convertible into sold. Our position
has been, and is, that all legislation
should look steadily TO a return to the
specie standard. 1t is horrible thing
to have the dollar in every poor mans
pocket and the price of the farmers
wheat depend on Black Fridays, Jim
Fisks and Brother-in-law Corbins-to
have the whole commercial and indus
trial interests of the country depend on
Jay Cookies, Henry Clewses and such.
Yet we are liable to constant repeti-
tons OF these disasters SO long as our
currency has no intrinsic value, except
what is put on it by the gamblers and
poOl-builders Of Wall and State streets.
We take it that every honest infa-
ZIONIST, wants a specie basis just so
soon. as 1t can be regained. On the
other hand, we think there are very
few, if any, hard-money men who want
contraction. There is less real differ
ence on these matters than appears on
the surface, becausethe vital discussion
of the subject has not fairly begun.
There was an epoch in the crisis of
1873, when nothing was wanting to |
give US specie out nerve on the part of
the Federal Government. We bad
already suffered all the possible horrors
Of contraction from the craven timidity
Of capital. But the golden opportu-
nifty was lost. It is worth a moments
thought to glance at what specieresump-
ton would mean to do. Gold rangingat
twelve cents premium, our present |
eight hundred millions Of currency
would acquire SO much additional pur-
chasing power, making it equal to nine
hundred millions. At the same time,
the coin IN bank vaults and old stock
mgs would be unloosed, adding other
millions TO the currency, while We could
absorb all Of CALIFORNIA; precious pro- |
duce tina. we needed or had use for,
which now goes over to Europe. How
would our Winchester contemporary
like this style of imitation, or does he
insist on the indefinite reign of rotten,
irredeemable rags?
