THE SECOND DISTRICT.

A Glance at the congregational Con-
test - Maynard end the Govern
ship.
From the Athens POst.l
The prospect of lively time in the
Second District between the friends OF
Colonel ThornbDrg and Judge Houk IS
increasing. The Londen Journal and
Maryville Republican seem inclined to
favor the pretensions Of the latter, while
Thorn5urgh appears to be without a
special advocate among the newspapers
of the district, if we except, perhaps, an
occasional kind word from the Press and
Herald, though he is said to have good
many earnest friends at work among the
people. AS the Republican candidate for
Governor will be most likely taken from
Middle Tennessee-in the person of DR..
w. p. Jones, of Davidson county-it is
not impossible the Hon. Horace May
nard may take notion to remain IN
Congress while longer, in which case
the respective friends o. Messrs. Thorn
burg and Houk would at once be re
lieved of any further anxiety and labor
on their account. Indeed, 1t IS now
SAID by an intimate friend of Mr.. May
nard, that he never seriously entertained
the idea of becoming a candidate for Gov
ernor. he regards the contest for that
position as doubtful, under the best CON
dition likely to arise, and even IT the
chances Of success we're certain, he
would prefer to remain in Congress as
the more eligible point for future promo
ton, rather than to end his public ca
reer in the State Capitol at Nashville.
The election, we believe, is some SIX
months ahead, and there will be ample.
time and opportunity for the friends OF
Thornburg and Houk TO get up a state
of things in the district which will make
Maynard's entrance into the contest an
apparent necessity. lie has done much
for Knoxville and its surroundings, and
if he wants the race, will have but little
in disposing Of the other aspirants.

A Boston dispatch says that in the
course of a sermon yesterday by Rev.
A. A. Harkell, Unitarian clergyman, he
said; Dio Lewis career in Boston

the people with his devoutness or his re-
lance on prayer, nor could we believe
be would ever have embarked in this
enterprise had it not been for remunera-
ton. He is said to enjoy the women
crusade; it was interfering with the d.
vine intention TO give man free choice
between good and evil; he wished his
voice might be heard by those men and
women who were using Incorporate
means to suppress intemperance." Dio
Lewis, who happened to be present,
rose from his seat and asked to be
heard. The committee told him he
could not Re allowed to speak. The
benediction was then pronounced, and
amid loud cries Of Take the platform"
Dio Lewis stepped up on one of the

great confusion, when the committee
man again called on him to stop. Con-
tinuous cries OF Take the platform"

said, "Ifyou will hire hall, Mr. Lewis,
we shall be very glad to hear you" The

The GAINESVILLE Chronicle of the 18th
gives expression to its sensible views as
follows: THE November elections are
attracting undue attention at this time.
We do not mean to intimate that they
are not of the first importance, or un-
worthy Of the gravest considerations;
but, sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof. Let us dispose Of the August
election first, and so prepare and con-
duct the campaign as to make that cleo
ton subserve the cause OF wisdom and
harmony in the conduct Of the other.
There is ample time between August
and November to adjust all prelimi-
naries for the fall campaign, and evil
may result from a premature effort to
distract the undivided attention tn at
ought to be given to the August election.
To the people, as citizens of counties il
is Of greater practical importance thar
the November election, in as far as i
more directly concerns their domestic
interests, and all good government mus
be based upon that at'home, for families
are miniature States"
