But few persons have any idea of the
trials of an editor, arising from articles
contributed to help him fill up the paper.
Our correspondent devotes his article to
space alone. When you have read il,
and weighed it thoroughly, 1t is only
words, containing no information, pith,
or point on any subject. Another gives
a rehash Of neighborhood scandal, which
he expects the editor to publish but i'm
no case would he allow his name to APP
pear as its author. Another man devotes
his entire article to putting the business
men and houses in his vicinity; and this
class generally furnishes a full column,
and becomes very indignant if their ar
ticles are not published. Nov we trust
the suggestions we make will re read,
and followed as closely as possible by
those who are, or may be desirOus of
becoming. correspondents for this or any
other paper; for we know 1t will meet
the approval of every publisher:
J. BE sure you have something to
write about.
2. Write out what you have to tell /;
then read it over carefully and draw
your pen through every word, or sem
tence, that is not absolutely necessary
to convey your meaning to the reader.
3. Make your article as short as possi-
BILE, remembering that the most perplex-
ing question with the editor is, "what
shall be left out"
4. Never indulge i'm personalities. -
Don't try to get the editor to say to his
ten thousand readers, anything about
your neighbor that you dare not say to
him in person.
8. Draw your pen through every puff
you have written for business man, un-
less you enclose ten cents per line, 10
pay their insertion. Remember you
have no more right to insert an adver-
tisement without pay. than you have TO
order job Of work without paying for
it, That is where the printer gets his
bread and butter; don't try to take it
out of his mouth.
G. Write plain round hand, if you
can.
z. Punctuate carefully, as cases fire.
quently occur in which a punctuation
mark misplaced, changes or utterly de-
stroys the sentence; and editors, as a
rule, do not have time to re-write or
puncttiate an article even il they know
what you wish TO say.
g. Use white paper, and write with a
pen and good ink, if you can get il; and
write only on one side of your paper.
8. Sign your name to your commune
as an evidence OF good faith. 1t
need not be published unless you wish
il, but the true name must, in all cases,
be furnished.
10. IL you wish your manuscript re-
turned, in case it should not be publish
ed, enclose stamps to pay return postage.
IL. Don't grumble, and ''go off on your
ear ii the editor thinks he knows his
own business better than you do. Re-
member that he has better opportunity
- know what will be acceptable 10 his
readers than you have and labors to
please thousands, rather than indi-
viduals.

HORACE MAYNARD was serenaded
by his Republican friends at the Max
well House, Nashville, Tuesday night,
and in response made short speech in
his usual style. In the course of his
remarks he said: my countrymen.
when it comes to pass that the ballot
box is not permitted to express the SEN
tinents of the country, to express pub
lie opinion through the ballot reg
ulated by law, then there is an end Of
representative government" What,
then, does he and his party think of the
representative governments in South
Carolina and Louisiana, where white
men are kept back from the ballot-box
and the returns often SET aside to keep
a reckless carpet-bag government in
power?-Memphis Ledger.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-09-27

every obstacle is thrown In the way OF
white citizens, and the officials seem to
bear special spite toward naturalized
citizens. Under these circumstances
the suggestion of relief at the ballot
box is a taunt and a mockery.
As part of the res gestde, the COM
mittee reproduce an appeal to the Pres
ident dated Sept. s, 1874, which they
believe was never permitted to reach
his eye, as it has never been answered
or published. This was elected by the
proclamation of Attorney General
Williams placing the army at the dis
posal of Federal Marshals in the
South, and was protest against Mar
shall Packard being retained in Office.
1t is intimated in some quarters that
Gen. Grant himself rather encouraged
the recent coup d'etatby hisprivate and
informal utteranees at Long Branch
and elsewhere to citizens Of Louisiana.
There is good authority for saying that
he expressed himself as indisposed again
to interfere with local affrirs, and rath-
er regretting that he had ever involved
himself. 1t thus came to be believed
that Gen. Grant would not regret to
see Mr.. Kellogg driven from power.
Probably Gen. Grants third term aspi-
rations were also relied upon to keep
him from using the army in bolstering
up Mr.. Kellogg's government. 1t is
quite certain that Gov. McEnery and
his supporters were astonished at the
vigor with which the President acted
against them when he learned that
they had overthrown Mr.. Kellogg.

TROUBLE is reported among the
faithful in Maine. Senator Hamlin's
friends have beer sounding" the new
members of the Legislature on the
the question of the U. S. Senatorship,
and the result was most unsatisfactory.
Fifty or sixty of the new members are
most uncomfortably reticent on the
subject, and the Jealous gentleman who
sought to convince them of Senator
Hamlin's eminent qualifications for re-
election found they did not pledge
worth a cent" Besides, there are IS
Democrats who will take hand in the
funeral.

RESTORATION OF THE COLUHN
KENnOME.

Ol- 4OuAo puDAAOan-
The grand column made of the Aus
trian guns of Austerlitz again stands
erect snd at its full heighth in the
Place Vendome of Paris. 1t was an
unlucky thought of the man of Sedan
when he took from its summit the iron
efigy of the Little Corporal and re-
placed him by his other self In the toga
of the Caesars. The Brienne hat, grey
riding-coat and high boots represented
the military power of the nation. The
laurel wreath and sandals of the Ro-
man illustrated the imperial code. 1t
was oneof the great mistakes of the last
Napoleon s life to have made this change,
for the most decided imperialists pre-
ferred to see the Napoleon of their old
idolatry, as he was to be remembered
at the bridge of Arcola. When, how
ever, the crash came, and the commun-
lists turned their vengeful hands upon
all that illustrated Imperialism, the
column of Vendome did not escape
their fury. 1t fell brayely and with
dignity, as Caesar fell in the capitol,
with Caesars head pillowed ON the
boulevards, and the magnificent shaft,
wrecked and riven, lying on bed of
manure in the Rue de la PAX.
1t has Just been rebuilt. Its broken
parts have been collected and what was
missing has been recast. Nothing is
wanting to make it what it was before
but head. The statue of Napoleon is
not there, nor does it seem probable
that the Parisians will soon determine
what shall be placed there. 1t was
constructed as a monument of glory
which should reflect the sun of Austria
litz. The external spiral shaft Illus
trated the memorable battles of Eapo-
leon in relief. The eagles of Bonaparte
stood guard at the corners of the base.
One of his old moustaches who had
followed him through the Peninsula
and left his fortunes only after that
fatal charge at Quatre Bras-one Of
these every day stood sentry by the
entrance. From the base to the rosette
in the little cooked hat of the statue
on the summit Of the column, it was
Napoleon all. Now they are deliber.
ating as to what they shall put up there,
those volatile Parisians. France is a
republic. France is split up into
half a dozen factions. All but the
Bonapartists declare that the Napoleon
lists have ruined France. To
erect a statue of the first Ma
poleon would be to proclaim that
Comparison deserves well of France.
1t is a serious hitch. 1t would also be
a great point gained for those who are
claiming the throne of France for Ma
poleon ~, who is now learning to be
a soldier in the land of their old enc
mics. the English. And sothe column
of Vendome stands without head, but
when that is put on, in spite of all re-
monstrances, We may safely prophecy
that it viii be of Napoleon the Great in
the little cooked hat and grey coat that
all the world knows so well.

THERE is an amusing disptch in
reference to a United States official in
Huntsville, Ala, who, feeling it his
duty to interfere with the public dis
play of a Confederate flag, has been
rebuked by the Attorney Generation his
officiOusness. The Government holds
that in time of peace a citizen may
adorn his dwelling with any colored
bunting that pleases him. If this
bunting takes the form of the old
Confederate flag it is his private con-
Germ and not that of the Government.
This shows good sense, and it would be
well if all the dealings of the Admin.
istratiOn with the South were marked
with the same forbearance and wisdom.

RLsPECTABLE sKULKERS.
Huntingdon Times.

We hear of some men, claiming to
be good, law abiding citizens, who
would scorn to do anything wrong, and
as such, as a matter of course. want to
see the law enforced, who took to the
bushes during the last term of the Cir
emit Court to avoid, as they say,
"peaching' ON their friends before the
Grand Jury. To them we submit the
question: Is such conduct right or
manly? Is it right to shield criminals
friends though they be-from detec-
ton and punishment by skulking from
those whose sworn duty it is to enforce
the law?

A WASHINGTON dispatch to the Gin
ciaaati Gazette says that members of
the Grand Army of the Republic here
are greatly incensed that any Union
soldier should unite himself with an
organization, the object of which is to
honor the rebel flag with the same res
pect and veneration as the stars and
stripes, and it is likely the Grand Army
will discountenance the attachment of
Union soldiers to such an order"

SIX millions of Americans over ten
years Of age engaged in farming are
taxed an average of about a per cent.
On all .hey buy, and very heavily on
what they sell, for the encouragement
of the industries which give employ
,nent to 100000 other Americans.
The farmer pays this average percent
age on his tools, his fencing, his house
hold utensils, his clothing,-on about
everything, in fact, that he buys. Our
Tennessee farmers should remember
that Mr.. Maynard advocated and voted
for this tariff. He has been for high
duties first, last and all the time. No
Inan is dearer to the heart of the New
England monopolist than the Civil
Rights candidate for Governor of Ten

is as follows:
Each department shall have two
banners, one of the stars and stripes
and one of the stars and the bars, to be
used on parade or public occasions by
the encampment, the stars and bars to
be borne by a soldier or sailor late of

the stars and stripes TO be borne by an
ex-soldier or sailor of the Confederate

THE late DR.. Macadam used to tell OF a
tipsy Scotchman making his way home
upon bright Sunday morning, when the
good people were vending their way to the
kirk. A little dog pulled the ribbon from
the hand of lady who was, leading it, and
as it run away from her, she appealed to
the first passer-by, asking him to whistle
for her poodle. "Woman," he retorted,
with a solemnity of viSage which only a
drunken man can assume, "woman, this is

over the land there are men claiming
to be ministers of the gospel, End who
have their circle, little or great, of ad-
mirers, who are utterly ignorant of the
relations of man to his God. Their
sermons are only so many graspings
after popularity, and their prayers,
even more than their sermons, are ut
