IN reference to the nomination of
Mr.. Maynard as the Republican candi.
date for Governor of Tennessee, we
have heard but one expression among
Republicans, and that is one Of salts
faction at the result His purity of
personal character, and his acknowl-
edged ability, will make him accept
able to all who truly desire the over-
throw of the present laundering, in
efficient and corrupt dynasty. With
Mr.. Maynard rs the Chief Executive
OF the State, no one expects to hear of
corrupt penitentiary leases, corrupt
bargain and sale Of important railroad
interests, public printing swindles or
preferment OF Office trading politicians.
If such things were to incur while he
is in authority, the actors in them
would be hurled from position and ut
terly disgraced.

Letter from Carthage, Mo,

CARTHAGE, No., March 81, 1874.
An occasional report from this far of
corner of our great domain may perhaps
be acceptable, to you and your many read
ers who have friends located here.
Judging from the varied and numerous
inquiries of my many friends, while on a .
late brief visit to old Highland, plainly see
a great interest is manifested to know more
of our boosted locality.
Far be it from me to over-estimate, or
too highly color, the good or. bad qualities
of any country. We must know and adj
NIT that the great Giver of all our bless
ings does not lavish all the sweets of life
on any one locality, but that each has its
share, and in accordance with our varied
tastes, likes and dislikes We found our opin-
ion.
No one should leave good home for the
uncertainties of bettering his condition,
without first seeing and judging for.. himself
NOT relying even upon the opinion of his
best friend, as that which pleases some may
displease others. A visitor from the West
to the East cannot but notice among his
many old friends an involuntary feeling Of
sympathy, that sometimes find expression
in words, for those ''poor fellows" who left
such good country for ahome in the far
| West, SO far from civilization, refinement
and ''the rest of mankind, while that same
person, doubtless, has observed among his
Western neighbors a similar sympathetic
feeling for those old neighbors who still
grub among the stunps and wear out
their lives in renoyating the worn-out soil
of ''back yonder." 'Tis well we should
each and all be thus happy in our sphere.
As this is but our debut as a correspond
dent -''only this and nothing mOre"-we
shall conclude this first epistle by report
ing the wind-up of an unusually mild win
ter, and the advent of an early spring.
Oats crop being sown; early gardening pro-
crossing, and peach and pear trees bursting
into bloom.

The Leonard Scott Publishing Co. s
reprint of the London Quarterly Review
for January has just reached US. 1t is rath-
er late this quarter, but none the less no.
ticeable on that account. The epithet
''ponderous," frequently applied by some
to Quarterly Reviews, is certainly not fit
ting one for this number, which is filed
with articles of universal interest.
No less than three biographical sketches
arrest the attention as we turn over the
pages. Winckelmann's History of Ancient
Art has long been standard authority; but
few have known the career of the author,
as given in the pages of this review-pain-
full in its outset, tragical at its close. In
a review of ''The Personal Recollections" OF
Mrs. Somerville, we have the outline of an
other life, one of repose and peace, con-
trasting strongly with the troubled story OF
the other.
John Stuart Mill is the subject of an
other biographical article, in which the de-
yelopment of his mind is illustrated by ref
erence to the works produced at the differ
ent stages of his career.
Other articles are ''SimplifcatiOn of the
Law" 'Sacerdotalism, Ancient and Mod
ern," Lombard Street." ''The Despot
ism of the Future" prosper Merimeei

and Folk-Tales," illustrating Sclavonit

A Story of the New Crusade, is the title
of the popular American writer, T. s. Ar
thurs last work, and it is one which espe-
cially commends itself to the attention of
the people at this time.
1t deals directly with and wholly upon
the exciting topic of the day, having for
its subject the new woman's movement
against intemperance, and, although in the
shape of story, is most powerful argu-
ment against the evil which it treats. Its
fidelity to facts, striking pictures of oft-re-
curing incidents, and intense dramatic eff
fects, will convince the most casual reader
of the truth of its arguments, and awaken
impulses which cannot fail to produce
great good to the community. 1t will llprove
real blessing and pleasure to many, and
as it carries with its truths singular charm
of interest, it is work which will be with
out doubt largely read. We can confident
" recommend it to our readers as one
which, whilst they can make large cireula-
ton for, will prove of untold vilue to all who
read it; and to every woman who has the
slightest interest in this movement it will
be of the greatest :interest and worth.
The publishers are desirous of giving it
early and large circulation, and want agents
to sell it; they will furnish a complete
agents outfit, with grant of territory, for
| 81. 90; and we strongly recommend any of
our readers desiring profitable employment,
whilst they can be doing large measure of
goodin circulating it, to apply for an..agen-
cy at once, as we learn that choice of territory
is being fast taken up for it. The Queen
City Publishing Company, $50 and 1872 W.
4th Street, Cincinnati, are the publishers.

One of the difficult things, in the
prosecution ofliquor-sellers, has been
to find persons willing to swear posi-
lively to the kind ofliquor drank at any
particular time. The Courts of Phila-
delphia have made different ruling.
They hold that if man may be con
victed of murder upon circumstantial
evidence, he may be convicted of sell
ing intoxicating liquor upon circum
stantial testimony. Under this ruling
what swift witnesses would those de
canters and the staggering visitors be
against the seller! And yet, why
not ?

UNION STAR, Mo-, April, 1874.
DEAR NEws:-Perhaps some of your nu-
merous readers may be interested in the
progress of affairs in this western country.
The winter was quite pleasant, with the
exception of an occasional thaw, which pro-
duced mud in such abundance that travel
was almost suspended, being minus turn
pixies or anything of the kind But though
at the breaking up of winter the mud be-
comes very deep, the high winds for which
this country is SO remarkable soon dry up
the prairies, and by the middle of March
farming is generally commenced, by SOW
ing spring wheat, &c. At the present writ
ing, however, farming operations ars'tem-
porarily suspended, fall of snow day be-
fore yesterday, several inches deep, giving
nature rather a wintry appearance. An
abundant harvest is anticipated from pres
ent indications. Wheat looks splendid all
the country, and fruit prospects
are good.
Changers are working here in good earn
est, organizing Oranges throughout the
country.
The temperance movement is creating a
considerable interest in different localities
A League has been formed in Savannah,
county-seat ofAndrew, andare doing all they
can to suppress the vending of ardent
spirits. Some of the most prominent drug
gists have signed the pledge, and still the
crusader, continue their work in the cause of
humanity, armed with the weapon of prayer
and song. We don t wonder that the rum
seller should tremble, or close his door
againut force possessed of such courage as
to dare approach those places where ruin
is dealt out indiscriminately.
Wrong must yield to Right in the end,
and perhaps women will accomplish that
which men have failed to do. The suffer-
ing entailed on helpless women and fami-
lies wherever alcohol has ruled, is enough
to call forth all the energy that can be
brought to bear to suppress the monster

Mr.. ]. l.. BoARDMAS:-As I glance
over the pages of your mostexcellent
paper, my eyes meet the cross on its
margin, whichis significant of theex-
piration of my subscription, and as 1
do not wish to lose single number, L
hasten to renew my subscription.
Indeed, it would seem like missing a
dear friend from our freside, to miss
the ever-cheering Highland News.
1t comes like a letter from home,
bringing with it the news of the coun-
ty In which I spent my happiest days,
the days of my childhood, and in the
language of your Kansas Correspon-
dent, L. E. Higgins, '1t seems
good, after an absence from home
and friends, togreet SO true and noble
a friend, as the Highland News"
Perhaps it would not be amiss to
give your readers a short description,
and little of the history of our Will
age. Russiaville is a quiet little town
of nearly 300 inhabitants, situated in
the southwest portion of Howard
County, about twelve miles south
west of Kokomo, the county seat. It
took its name from Old Russia. an
Indian chief of the Miami tribe; was
settled about thirty years ago, by
the Ratclifs, Harts, Hodsons, Car
sons, and several other families from
Old Highland and Clinton County
Ohio.
About twelve years ago, there was
railroad under contract that would
have come through Russiaville, and
In consideration of the fact the town
began to improve and bid fair to
make thriving place, but the road
was abandoned and R. took O back
set. Since that time it has not i'm
proved much until recently. Now
there is railroad to be completed
by the first of June next, running
from Frankfort to Kokomo, via, Rus
siaville, and we are listening every
day for the whistle of the engine,
which will bring the first train of cars
10 our quiet little town.
We still live in hopes of seeing
Russiayille amount to something.
She already boasts of six stores, two
shoe shops, four black-smiths shops,
and two milliner stores. A large
stave factory commences operations
this week We also have bowl fac
tory, which manufactures wooden
bowls very extensively, and there is
woolen factory in prospect. Sew
eral new buildings are going up rap
idly. Lots sell from one to three
hundred dollars.
In my next 1 will give a short de-
scription of the farmers, their lands,
crops, &c, Very Respectfully,

Another Bounty Bill.

In Congress the Senate bill allow
ing soldiers who enlisted under the
proclaim alton of May 7, 1864, and
prior to August IL, 1861, a bounty of
800, is now pending before the
House Military Committee. It is
the desire of the committee to pass a
bill which will meet the cases of as
many of this class of volunteers as
possible, and the chances are that
such bill will be reported the present
week.

GRAIN IN GEORGIA. gentleman
who has travelled over the State of
Georgia in almost every direction
and conferred with the farmers, says
that there will be about twenty-five
per cent. less of cotton grown this
year than last, and that there will be
a large increase in the area devoted
to corn and other grains. The Pa
irons have had something to do with
this change, for the State Grange
recommends third cotton to two
thirds corn, and such cereals as are
needful for the support of man ant
the domestic animals.

dent:
"Report says gentleman of our town
met young lady, the daughter of a saloon
keeper, who was exquisitely arrayed in pur-
pie and gold. The gentleman spoke, but
the compliment was not returned. This
set him to soliloquizing thus: My money
paid for this fnery when my own family
need it. Yes, I have spent more money fol
whisky bought of the father than would
buy several rigs, andyet 1 cannot be spok'
ento. Well, 1 will sign the pledge and save
my money for my family. and he did,"

Judge VESTS Temperance
Proposition.

Temperance people generally look
with great favor upon Judge Vests
proposed amendment to Constitution,
which we published recently, and pc
titions for its adoption are being cir
culated and numerously signed in
many parts OF the State. The amend
ment does not put any prohibitory
clause in the Constitution, but saws
that no liquor shall be sold except as
provided By lao, which amounts
practically to prohibition unless the
Legislature shall legalize the traffic.
But should the Legislature pass a
license law. then the amendment
gives the power to towns, cities,
townships and villages to prohibit
the traffic if a majority of the voters
SO decide.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette takes this view of the matter.

VESTS OPTION.

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette.
Mr.. Vests proposed article of the
Constitution on liquors is perfectly
plain, and prohibitionists may well
accept it. 1t provides, first, prohibi-
ton by the Constitution of trade in
everything intoxicating; second,
power to the Legislature to license or
to prohibit; third, power to the 10
calities to further prohibit, but not to
license. Now look at the practical
operation. If the Legislature does
not act, there is prohibition of every
thing intoxicating by the Constitu
ton. If the Legislature licenses,
then the counties and towns may
prohibit. Ii the Legislature prohib-
its all but native wine, beer, and ci-
der, as the present law does, then the
counties and towns may prohibit
these in addition. But if the Legis-
lature does not act, or if it prohibits
the prohibition is absolute and sweep
ing. There is no local option against
prohibition by the Constitution or
by the General Assembly. The local
option is only to put on more pro-
hibition. CITIZEN.
