The Defeat of MAYNARD.

Horace Maynard's defeat I heard
ascribed by a leading Tennessee Re-
publican to-day to the following;

make q great party. Maynard is an
able man. He can give better rea-
son for being wrong than good
many others for doing wise. But he
is more concerned to lead the Re-
publican party1,ina Tennessee than
expand it, make it embrace all class
es. and, if necessary retire himself.
Now, he makes no allowances for the
society and idiosyncrasfes of the
people where he lives One of our
ablestimen suggested tO our leaders
that they nominate Union young

and made bright. wise record. They
pressed the man on Maynard. He

The Democratic Gains in East
Tennessee.
From the Nashville Union and Americs

From the Nashville Union and American.
oh. V. R." writing from Chatta-
nOoga to the Cincinnati Commercial, says
No section of the South has larger
white Republican vote than East Ten
nessee, and in no section of the United
States, in proportion to voting pOpula-
ton, have the Democracy made greater
gains than in this very section. In the
First District the Democrats gained
5000 votes, in the Second District 5000
votes, and in the Third District 5000
votes Remember that in these three
districts there are between 5000 and
8, 900 cOlored voters, among whom there
was no change whatever. This will en-
able you to fully comprehend the tre-
mendOus revolution among the white
voters, among a class who were Union
lists during the war, and who have stood
square up to the Republican party
through all these years, and until the
date of the passage of the Civil Rights
bill by the Senate. 1t has laid out the
Republican party in this State dead and
cold"
The result of the election in East Ten
nessec is wonderful indeed. Only two
years ago, Freeman, the Republican
candidate for Governor, came across the
mountains with 1O,584 majority; now
Judge Porter leads Maynard by about
three thousand AS compared with the
election of 1872, Judge Porter gains in
every county in East Tennessee except
three, (he loses only 80 in Granger, IS
in Hamilton and one in Sequatchie,) }
while Maynard loses in every county.
The following table tells, in detail, how
the great Republican stronghold in East
Tennessee has been revolutionized:

FOrty-twO Hundred Dollars for
Manning a Boy for Life.
New York Sun

In September, 1873, Adam Schaf-
fer, aged eight years, and Cornelius
O'Conner, aged about the same, were
whiting kite frames under John A.
Frey's window at Even and Ten
Eyek streets. Williamsburgh. Frey
ran around to where the boys were
and kicked little Adam three times,
the last time severely on the hip.
Adam got out of the way and Frey
struck the other boy. Adam was so
severely hurt that his playmates car
ried him home and hip disease soon
set in. When after many weeks he
recovered, his right leg was shriveled
and he has>since had to use a crntch.
Mr.. Schafrer sued Frey for $25, 900,
and the case was concleded in the
Brooklyn Circuit Court yerterday.
The defence was that little Adam
was lame before he was kicked and
that Frey drove him away because
the boys cut and hacked his window
sill. In rebuttal the de ence dis
proved this testimony and the Jury
gave Mr.. Schaffer 4,200. When the
counsel for Frey moved to set aside
the verdict as excessive, Judge Bar
nard asked whether the counsel real.
" thought that 81. 200 was excessive
for the ruin of boy. and added
eff the jury had given a verdict for
$50, ,000-the full tmount claimed
| should not have set it aside as ex-
cessive.

THE MEANEST MAN IN POLITICS.

and takes a hand. is laid ON the
shelf forever. .rr
MA WARDS DEFEAT.
This man has been slaughtered In
the general wreck. He is buried un-
der majority of about ffty thou.
sand. He was defeated in his own
ward. in his own city, county and
Congressional district, where he new
er knew defeat before. In Knox
county and the Second District, he
has always been invincibIe. Up to
the late election he has been regard
ed as the strongest man in the dis
trict of any party. Yet he lost the
district on the Governors vote, and
Thornburg, Republican, was elected
to Congress-the only Republican
that was elected in this State. and he
only by the skin of his teeth. Why
was this? Simply because Horace
Maynard did not take the strongest
ground possible against the Civil
Rights bill. He haggled over the
question; said he was opposed to the
mixed school clause, but intimated
that some of the other features were
not so terrible that the country need
go distracted on the subject. 1t was
enough. Horace Maynard was de-
feated where he was never defeated
before, and is covered up Under a
larger majority than perhaps any
man ever had heaped upon him in
Tennessee.

even among the Democrats. Every.
body is astonished at Butler s defeat,
1t is the Second District that has
saved the Republicans from whatev'

solid Democratic delegation.
Thornburg's majority Is very small
and be is indebted to the stupidity
of the Democrats for his election
They shelved w. a. Henderson. who
could have beaten Thorpburg, and
put out Mabry, who couldn't. Ma

a strong man by any means. He was

speaker or otherwise. The Demo.
Gratis see their mistake now, and
there are hot words and tears of NOR.
tifcation in their camp. That they
should have allowed the Republicans
to have had even one district in the
State makes them unhappy. 1t
would have been so niceg so majestic,

The Plymouth PASTORS Notion
of the Effects of Organized
Religion.

II suppose" said Mr.. Beechcr in
his prayer meeting last night, that
if person who really desires to en-
ter Christian life had the power of
vision given to him to look upon the
Christian religion generally and see
how the churches are organized, he
would never believe In true Chris
tianity. Organized religion is its,
very worst side. If he could look
into the sick rooms and see the re-
ligion of the bedside, that religion
which comes from warm, loving
hearts in all conditions of life. then
he would see that. there is religion
in life unrecorded." ....
Mr.. Beecher then expounded the
18th and 18th chapters of Corinth-
ians, illustrating from Pauls words
his promise that above all external
organization Is the dominion of the
vital inspiration of a living God in
each soul. In one of his most, ear
nest strains he said Yes it is above
