THE DyerSJurg Progress, comment,
ing on the proposed council of editors
az Nashville, on the occasion Of
the State Convention. says: We
have nothing to say against such
a meeting, and if necessary we think il
should be held, but it seems to us that
a Democrat ought to know what course
to pursue in the coming campaign
without consultation with other Demo
Gratis. Organization and Democracy
are the watch-words, and if we follow
such principles closely we are not like
ly to go in the wrong. Good Demo
Gratis Will not go in any other diree-
ton, and these are the only points that
such a convention of editors could meet
to consider, We think we can get
along very well without meeting in
such convention, and we think if
other Democratic editors will be led by
their Democracy, and not by any of
the "new departures" that may come
up, that IRE IviU all more together, and
work together.

A GENERAL SURRENDER RECON-.
MENDED,

We commend the recent action of
Gen. Belknap to other warriors of the
rebellion period, simply suggesting
that the restitution of articles more
valuable than books might be more ac-
ceptable. Belknap saved from the
burning Capitol of Columbia, S. c., a
copy of the Rules of the House of Rep
resentatives and the Senate of South
Carolina bound in one volume, with the
various acts and resolutions containing
standing orders, and the constitu-
tions Of the State and of the United
States, and stamped Hon. w. d. Por.
ter President of the Senate. This he
intended to keep as memento of the
war, but having recently met Mr.. Por-
ter, he returned the book. with this IN
dorsement upon a fy-leaf: Taken
from the Capitol of South Carolina, at
Columbia, February Il, 1866, by VIM.
w. Belknap, General commanding 4th
Division, Seventeenth Army Corps,
Army of the Tennessee, and returned
to William Porter, june 20, 1874, by
William ". Relknap, Secretary of
War"

The address recently issued to the
farmers of Tennessee by the State Ex-
ecutive Council of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry closes with these words:
We earnestly appeal to the young
men of our State to cultivate a higher
regard for our native home and initiate
the manhood of their grandfathers,
whose type of manhood they have
partially lost in the wild desire for
more effeminate pursuits than is credi-
bic to their manhood or beneficial to
their country. Stand by the old men
in their declining years, and beautify
and stay on the homestead.
The Grange Outlook, commenting on
this, says: Never was more whole
some advice given to this class of young
men and never did it come in better
time. 1t is a startling fact-and one
we cannot shut our eyes to-that scores
of them are becoming dissatisfied, from
some cause, with their homes and with
agricultural life, and are seeking a
livelihood in other and less remunera-
tive aYocations. Some become 'di7m-
mers,' some clerks in stores, some one
thing and some another; anything, in
fact, to get away from the old meg'
and from farm life. In the meantime,
too, not few of them, failing in their
plans. are reduced to squalid poverty
and wreck their characters. They
learn to drink liquor. 70 gsmble, to
f1itter away precious time and to con-
tract the vilest habits. Every old
man and every father and mother espe-
cially, should thank the committee in
question for their valuable suggestions
on this subject. But hold! May there
not be home cause for this disposition
of many young men to quit their
homes. tits neither kind nor charitable
to put all the blame upon them, when we
remember that, possibly, they may have
some well grounded excuse for their
condUct il the premises. Are fathers
and mothers making their homes COM
Portable and agreeable? Do they adorn
and beautify them, and thus encourage
their sons to help them, and to implant
in their nature a love of the ornate and
beautiful? Do they take any pains
whatever TO make them attractive to
their children: We must confess that
scores Of them are at fault in this
thing. II they want to retain the af-
lection of their sons and daughters,
and to keep them at home, they must
throw around their premises more home
attractions"

REsEsABE IRrslfmES AND GIVE


The Memphis Ledger says Of the
Black-and-T Tan ticket just nominated
in Shelby county;
Why the negroes, who do the voting
and the drudgery of the Republican
party in Shelby county, let half
a dozen white men lead them by the
nose is more than any outsider can IN
derstand. If left to themselves the ne
groes would have put forth a stronger
ticket than the one offered. 1t is about
as weak list of nine men as the most
enthusiastic Bartlettite could have de-
sired. A heavy bid was made for the
Irish vote, but it will not win. They are
weak brethren, except perhaps young
Pat Winters, clever boy, who is Il an
ipulated by older politicians. Our Irish
friends are not for,the Civil Rights bill,
and no ward politician carries them IN
his pocket. They canno: be bought,
traded off or seriously divided, The
strength and gloryo.of the Irish nation
has been its integrity and unity. Null
verhill is an artful politician, who seeks
to divide the Irish for personal pur-
pose. Davis has fallen into the hands
of the Philistines and taken up arms
against his countrymen. Alas, that
we should have TO say it of one who
should be the earnest champion of
Erin's honor. But the allIrements Of
Office were too much for him, and he
went over, body and soul, to the Civil
Rights platform. His influence here
after must be exerted to secure the
admission of colored children to the
Market street school house and to all
the public schools of the city. Fare
well, brother Davis; you have dug the
grave Of your political death so deep
that no trump of fame or plaudits Of
your countrymen will ever disturb the
sod.

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE

ANeAN0'.
eve will support the nominee if the
convention reflects the will of the peo-
pie" These are the words We have
noticed in two or three of the papers of
the State. The admission means that
il the editors think differently from the
convention, they intend to oppose the
nominees. 1t means that each one of
these editors constitutes himself con-
Yention. with the nominating powers
more binding upon the people than any
convention the peoplemay hold. There
fore, if tho Democratic convention
nominates a candidate not the choice
of these editors, 1t has brought upon
itself an avalanche of destruction. In
quisitive people may ask how these ed
itors know whether or not a cOnven-
ton reflects the will of the people.

WHY NOT RsDFORD9

Franklin county has assessed that
portion of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad operating with
in her limits at from So, 900 to 10000
per mile. and the Tennessee Coal and
Railroad Company's branch to Tracy
City at $4,000 per mile.
The County Court says it will back
up the assessors and see that its right
to collect the tax is enforced by the
courts. Can't our County Court do as
much for Bedford county,

THE political situation in the Fifth
District seems to be somewhat unset
settled. With regard 10 the action of
the Congressional Committee in hav-
ing called a convention to meet at
Shclbyyiiie on the 10th Of September,
the Manchester Democrat says: Two
of the gentlemen originally appointed
by the central committee at Nashville
resigned. and only five of the members
were present at the meeting. OF these
five we have reason to believe that two
were opposed to the calling of con.
ycntion, and we do not believe the 9TH
ers represented the Will of the
people. We do not in any sense
intend 10 impugn the motives
Of the committee. They had a delicate
duty 70 perform, and, perhaps, acted
as intelligcntly as any other citizens
chosen by the central authority could
have done, but they were not repre-
sentative men, or they would have
been better posted with regard TO the
sentiment Of the people IN this matter.
We cannot believe that in the face Of
the general feeling Of opposition to
conventions, any of these gentlemen
would have wilfully Inisrepresentcd
th,m. But convention or no conven.
ton, the people intend to speak for
themselves IN this canvass. If conven-
