The GalIows In Texas.

Bill bly, killed one Carmichael In
Texas some weeks ago, and at bis hang
ing no singular feature was omitted
that conduced to the pleasure and COM
fort of those concerned. A local paper
thus reports:
Men, women and children carno In
from distance OF thirty or forty miles,
and csmpei around the court house In
their wagons. The father OF the MUIR
dered man who assisted nj the trial,
hired an extya guard for the condemn

To the People Of the Sixth Sena-
tOSial District.

Now that tie election is over, and th,
smoke OF the battle slowly but certain
ly passing away, let us look for a mo
ment TO something Of material interes
to us. / mcas what I shall term TIL,
Sixth Seua.cs5,al District Fair.
respectfully suggest, as representing
myself only, that the counties OF Lou
don, Monref McMinn, Meigs, Polk and
Bradley unli> n building one genera
Fair" where the products Of the 81,
countie, shall be exhibited, and where
each shall feel that freedom that com
mon interess alone can give.
As TO manner of selecting site, etc.
I suggest that 1 Committee be appoint.
cd by the citizens Of each county who
shall jointly select the site, and I fur.
ther suggest that the county in which
the committee shall make the location
shall take one.tbird Of the stock OF the
Association. ! don't mean the county
proper, but her interested citizens shall
subscribe an amount equal to one-third
the stock.
In short, mean that everything con.
nccted With the Fair from beginning to
end shall be conducted with perfect
fairness az between the different coun.
ties, as also in every other particular.
1t may be premature, but am only
suggesting the question, so that Others
more competent than /, may take the
whole matter in hand and fully discuss
It.
Owing to the stringency of the times,
I would favor the securing of the
grounds and the erection Of only ordi-
nary buildings TO meet our present
wants. After we are fully on our feet,
we can make such improvements as we
might desi,e. So here goes for a
"Grand" Sixth Senatorial District Fair,
in 1875. Who says yes, and who says
no. Your humble servant,
j. A. TURLEY.
p. S.-The above is not designed to
interfere with any County Fair, but
rather to encourage them.

who are acquainted with those Noun

wild and romantic country lying be-
tween Beavordam and Citico should
meet Gen. Stewart and party on tho

hope our citizens along the river will
give the party all necessary aid in the
prosecution Of their work.

Grant Hears the News.

The Washington Capitol says, when
the lale returns reached the President,
together with the fact that some lunatic
had pnt "ror rent" on the White House,
Grant asked Babcock what it all meant.
"Notice to auit," responded briefly the
the High Custodian of the Public
Grounds.
'T won't do it" exclaimed his Excel.
lency, "that house is the only one large
enough to hold my family aud the pic
ture of them. Where in the devil am |
expected to put that picture, I'd like to
kn0w?"
"Your friends could build you as big
a house in st. Louis" humbly suggest

"Babcock, exclaimed His Excelency,

vovers, and Cbilds and Murphy to

The Democratic Avalanche.

Cincinnati Eaquirer, Nov. ts
Well, the day that we have 90 long
watched for, aud which We never had q
doubt would finally come, 10 at hand.
The dark night OF oppression has at
last been broken by the sunlight Of
popular influence. The clouds Of ad.
verslty. which have been piled almost
to the zenith, are being dispelled, aud
the horizon OF the future is clear be-
fore us. To have so brilliant an swak-
ening will almost compensate US for the
many years we have spent In the will.
derness Of defeat and misfortune.
Once more may we hope for the re.
vival Of the good old halcyon times.
when the people Of this Union we're ell
indeed brethren--when the shadow OF
the soldier and Of marshal law shalt
disappear beneath the recollcctious Of
q sorrowful past. Once more let us
hope that when we have full Democrat.
ic success the wheels OF industry, which
have been so clogged, will be set In mo-
tion--whcn capital will no longer bs
idle and the laborer unemployed, aud
when with gladness we may hold the
Centennial Of our independence as a
jubilee even beyond that which II com.
memorates.
This glorious result will send thrills
Of Joy to tho hearts Of ten millions Of
Southern people, our kinsmen, and our
countrymen. This, indeed, will be
day Of heartfelt gladness from the Della
ware to the Rio Grand. This victory
NJ tho nemorrany and their aiiios In tho
North will do more TO reconstruct"
the South than all Radioallsm could do
In hundred years. The Southern pcc.
pie will now begin to think that they
again live In the United States, and that
they have voice In their government.

"Tboy have seon the power of the or

For whom they have no respect; they
have seen important Federal Offices in
this State manipulated for private ends,
in violation Of the civil service, and
studied contempt Of their advice and
they have seen tho party
machinery taken possession Of by re.
cipients ofexecutive power and used to
forlify themselves in their position and
to intim:date oil candidates for office
who would not affiliate with thom."

The Next Legislature.

The Nashville Banner of Friday says
From careful examination of the State
election returns received at the Banner
Office, by special dispatches and other
wise, we are enabled TO state that there
will be only ten Republicans in the
next Legislature, eight in the House and
two in the Senate. There 10 not a sim
gle Republican elected from the Mid
die Division Of the State, and only one,
in Carroll county, from West Tennessee.
An invitation at any time to the little
Republican squad to 60 out and take q
drink, would leave the body regular

A Voice from the Grave.

Thomas Swan, q prominent colorod
man of Memphis, died reccc.lyr leaving
the following as his last utterances:
have something to say TO you for
the benefit Of my race, TO whom have
been devoted. I feel at peace with
God, whom / thank and give praise for
His great mercy TO me. feel at peace
with all mankind, and OH that could
speake personally in tones OF persuasion
to my color to make peace with their
white friends, cease all this CALLING
strife that renders life and happiness so
uncertain. Soy 70 cur people, for ba-
lieve YOU to be our true friend, 10 cut
loose from all those politicians, white
or black, tbst continue 10 SOW discord
among the races. We know II IL hard
to overcome the prejudice OF any class
and particularly the fears OF our simple.
uneducated people. Say TO them 10
shake of those fears, for they are un-
founded In fact. Let them become free
and untrammeled In the exercise OF their
political rights. Let them struggle 10 he
free like other nati0nalities that COM
pose this community aud sustain only
those men who have living interest In
the soil. l could speak forever on this
subject, but your admonition TO quie-
tude cannot be disregarded. l will say,
however, one farewell word TO my peo-
pie--the last, too, that will ever say
on earth: My people, ondeaver TO cul-
tivate more attachment for the worthy
people of the South; be- true TO them
and worthy Of their confidence; and re-
member dying friend saysto you that
that peace will surely follow.

COntradicted.

We copied paragraph from the Press
and Herald last week to the effect that
the Coopers. who were living in posses
sion of the Reynolds property, had re-
sisted mandate of the Supreme Court
to vacatc the premises, and that the
sheriff had to use force TO dispossess
them. 1t seems from card Of the

statement was grossly incorrect--they
denying in emphatic terms that they Of

Trnile Depressed.

The New York Graphic in speaking
of trade in the East, has this to say:
Horo in tho East thinge look gloomy
enough. We are ir the middle of tho
fall season, and from every aide we
hear OF shrinkages Of values, Of depress.
ed feeling in trade, Of not merely no
profits but actual losses in all the great
commercial centres.
This is the keynote, In fact the only
note Of the press OF the great cities and
of the entire country.

The Next President.

Some Of the papers suggest that the
next President will not be elected by
the people, but that the duty will de-.
volvc on the House Of Representatives.
The people have not failed to elect since
lS24-wben Andrew jackson, John
Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and VIM.
II. Crawford were all andidates--and
IL is not likely they viii fail to elect in
1876. The last election by the House
was anything but satisfactory TO the
country, and blasted forever the Presi-
dental prospects of one of the best
men that ever lived in the tide Of time.

Tho Popular VIII.

II seems settled that the next Con-
gress will contain q small Democratic
majority. In this connection, the Gin
cinnati Enquirer furnishes significant
fact:
The election Of n House of Reprcsen-
tatives before Presidential election is
almosta never-fa;ling indication Of the
result of that election. Thus in lS49.40
the House Of Representatives was Whig,
Gen. Harrison (Wbig) was elected Pres
ident. In 1884 the House was Demo-
cratic, and in 1874 James X. Polk was
chosen President. In 1Si6.47 the Wings
carried It, aud General Taylor came in
as President at the next election, in 1SfS.
The Democrats elected the House In
1S50.51, and in 1852 they chose Franklin
Pierce as Chief Magistrate Of the Union.
In 1S55.56 no party had the majority of
the House, and James Buchanan (Dem-
ocrat) was chosen President by plurali-
ty. In lS59.60 the Republicans elected
Mr.. Pennington. Of New Jersey, as
Speaker, by majority vote, and that
was followed by the election OF Abra-
ham Lincoln. Since that time, the
Democracy have never come near hav-
ing a supremacy in The popular branch
Of the Representative Department OF
the Government The idea is that the
peoples will is first felt In the choice OF
q House, and that IL is afterward main
tanned In the selection OF those depart
ments whose agreement with the House
are necessary TO the enactment Of laws.
The death -knell of Grantism will be
written whenever II ia recorded that
the Democrats have the majority In the
next House.
