EDGEFIELD ITEMS.

The corporation does not always run
things in the ground, to no purpose. 1t Is
this time quarrying good quality OF stone
out of Webster street for general street pur-
poses.
The sylvan city has donned her spring
suit of velvety green and in her rustic
dress looks "a thing of beauty"
To-day the corporation force, under the
direction of Alderman Campbell and Street
Overseer Price, will drain the pond be
tween Bridge avenue and Sutherland q
Co.'S mill. 1t is a move in the right di-
rection and will commend itself to the
inealth-loying portion Of the community.
We hope that the corporation will not stop
with this one job, but viii drain, or in
some way abate, the many ponds and pools
ieft by the recent overflow and thereby re,
tain the proverbial reputation of Edgefield
for health and cleanliness.

THE PENITENTIARY.
W. Matt Brown ReapPOinted Warden
A Proper Recognition OF Faithful
Public Services.

PUBLIC ScENlCc$.
His term of office having expired, w.
Matt Brown was Reconnaissance Warden
of the Penitentiary, yesterday, BY the Gov
ernOr. John Bland, the efficient deputy
warden has also been reappOinted. The
following communication relative to the
wardenship was received by the Governor a
few days ago:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April IA, 1S74.-To
His EXcellency, Gov. John c. Brown: AT
a meeting Of the Superintendent and In
spectors Of the Penitentiary, to-day, 1t was
unanimously agreed TO recommend to your
Excellency the reappointment of Col. w.
Matt. Brown, whose term as Warden has
just expired, and we think it but Justice to
state that Col. Brown has discharged the
arduOus and responsible duties Of his
office, with fidelity, intelligence, watchful-
ness and discrimination, challenging our
admiration and condolences, and, we be-
lieve, satisfying tie Watchful scrutiny of the
people at large. He has, in his management
Of prisoners, met the requirements of the
law and at the same time the exactions of
public sentiment, in the humane policy in
augIlrated for the moral improvement and
ameliOration of this unfortunate class of
our community, and we, therefore, take
great pleasure in endorsing Col. Brown,
with the hope that his claims may be favor
ably considered by your Excellency.
Very respectfully,

SAMUEL r. ANDERSON, Insp.,

RUTHERFORD COUNTY.
Everything Serene I'm the Political
Sky-A Harmonious Conventions
Work-LOw Taxes, but Down with
Reconciliation

Reputation.
| To the Union and American.
MURFREEsBORo, MAY THE excite
ment incident to the holding of the prima-
~ election to select candidates for county
offices and delegates to a county conven-
ton has about quieted down, and the Dem
Ocratic Conservative party Of old Ruther-
ford are now as unit for their
county ticket and in opposition
to the Radical party. We feel thar a good
work has been done, and that success is
already assured.
| Having effected a harmonious organiza-
ton Of the party, we will now settle down
to the real work of the canvass. Let other
counties follow the example set by old
Rutherford, and Radicalism will receive a
| disastrous defeat.
The County Convention, composed of
representative men chosen at the primary
! election, met last Monday, and its proceed
ings were characterized with great harmo-
ny and good feeling. Hon. James II. jam
isOn, a member of the last Legislature
from the county proper, was nominated for
reelection, and Henry II. Norman received
the nomination for FlOater from Ruther-
ford and Bedford counties. They are ex
cellent selections, and will faithfully and
| ably represent the interests of the people in
the next Legislature, should they be elect
ed, and Of that there is hardly a
doubt. The convention also unanimously
passed resolutions endorsing and recon-
mending Judge John w. Burton for Gov
eTnor, and Gen. Joseph B. Palmer for Con-
gress from the fourth district. No truer
nor better man could be selected than
Judge Burton as a standard bearer for our
party in the gubernatOrial race. He is emf
nently suited for the high office Of Chief
Magistrate Of our great State. lie would
rally all the discordant elements opposed to
Radicalism TO his support and secure glo-
riOus victory.
Gen. Palmer would make Us a most eff
eient and able representative in Congress.
Some years ago very strong pressure was
brought to bear to induce him Ia run for
Congress, but he HlagnanImOusly with
drew and left the field clear for Gen. John
". bright. 1t was then tacitly under
stood that he should have the nomination
OF the party for Congress two years thence
That time has come around, and his coun-
ty now unanimously presents his name to
the patty of the district for that office.
Should he be nominated ct the district
convention, old Rutherford will 70 solid
for him.
Rutherford takes no stock in the COlyar
black-and tan reputation movement. Cur
people are in favor of low taxes, but they
are also in favor of maintaining the credit
of the State. No doubt expenses NAV be
greatly curtailed, but this must not be done
at the expense Of the public credit.
There are no johnson or Cheatham men
here. We are all united in opposition 10
the Radical party, and deprecate all at
tempts to geS up divisions and schisms.
You may expect Old Rutherford to give
good acc cunt of herself.
