THE TIDAL WAVE !

I That the people of this govern
ment have determined to arise in
their might, and throw off the yoke
of the party who have SO recklessly
and ruthlessly ruled the country dur
ing the past fourteen years, becomes
day by day, more apparent. Con-
tinued loading will eventually break
the camers back; the constant drip
ping Of water will make an impress
ion on a stone, so the extravaganza
corruption and rottenness of the
Republican party have at last broken
and worn out the patience and en-.
durance of the honest men of the
nation.
The storm first broke upon and
swept over the land last fall; its
fury is undated, nor will it cease
until the party and the breed of po-
litical charlatans and prostitutes to
which it has given birth and nourish'
ment shall have been swept from
power and consigned to that oblivion
which is their native element.
After their overwhelming defeat
last fall, the Republican leaders and
organs sought cold comfort in the
argument that it was only a temper
airy reverse, and not q final over
throw. But now, near year after,
the sunny slopes of the sierras and
the pine forests of Maine are heard
from, and the wave is there, nor has
its force, in the least, diminished.
California triumphantly carried by
the Democracy for the first time in
eight years, and that by & most
handsome majority. And in Maine,
which has been overwhelmingly Re-
publican almost since the time ''when
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary" their success is now
so meagre they. may well feel that
another such victory would be worse
than a defeat. The hoped for, and
prayed for and talked Of reaction
has not come. and the handwriting
on the wall is now so plain that che
who runs may read.'
California, the very mother of the
glittering dust, repudiates their con-
traction and forced resumption doc
trine.
Maine, the home and the strong
hold of one of its most prominent
candidates for the Presidential nomi
nation, where they would naturally
put forth their utmost strength, so
that their favorite, Blaine, might go
before the nominating convention
with the prestige of recent success
to back him up, evinces love for
the party principles that quite ap-
parently ''begins to sieken and de-
cay.
These are indeed events of most
potent Specification. A Democratic
success in Ohio is q result almost
and Pennsylvania will
come laundering in her wake.
The tide still sweeps onward, and
it requires no experienced augur to
foretell that on the 18th of March.
1877, Grant will step down and out
and Democrat will step up and in.

STEAMBOAT DIsAsTER.
Burning Of the :. Emory city.


Saturday morning, the Emory City,
Capt R. NJ Allison, Master, was burned
to the waters edge at a point one mile
below Kingston. No lives were lost.
The cause of the fire was the careless
ness of the deck hands, who in loading
the boat last night, got very wet, and
the weather being quite cool, kindled a
roaring fire in the stove in the engine
room, and laid down and went to sleep.
The stove pipe went up through the deck
and the heat communicated to the wood
work of the cabin. setting it on fire. Ev-
eryboGy on board was asleep at the time,
and before they were aroused the flames
had gained such Roadway that any at
tempt to extinguish them would have
proved futile.
The cargo aboard, fortunately light
one, was total loss. The Emory City
was the regular mail packet between
Loudon and lockwood, but no mail
matter was aboard at the time of the
disaster.
There seems to be a fatality attending

by Capt. Fritts for the Hugh Martin"
several months before the destruction of
that boat, who received in addition a
bonus of 50, 500 for the transfer The
loss entailed on the brothers Allison is a
severe one, as our information is that
there was but little, if any, insurance
on her.

Latest from the Railroad War.

lie
From the Nashville American
Strenuous efforts are making to
end the railroad war, aud it is be-
lieved a compromise will be effected
within the next two or three days.
The Louisville Ledger, of Monday,
says yesterday the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad announced to the
public that greatly reduced rates
would be given to passengers be-
tween. this city and GAINESVILLE,
Guthrie and Hopkinsville. No
price of tickets was given, but all
were requested to call on the agents
of the road. We learned this morn
ing that the fare to Clarksuille had
been reduced from 81 20. to $500,
and to Guthrie from SIS SO to 50 so,
the regular fare being charged,
with a rebate of the difference be-
tween the regular and special fare
at the point of destination.
To-day the Louisville, Paducah
and Southwestern Railroad also cut
their rates between this city and
the point mentioned above to even a
lower figure than the Louisville and
Nashville. They bad not decided
yet upon the exact rate. but it is sup
posed that it will be from fifty to
seventy-fve cents cheaper than the
other route, which of course, that
route will fail to in time"

CARPET BAGGERY IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.

The New York Su,a strikes heavy
blow against the carpet-baggers of
South Carolina, and describes the
demoralized condition of that State
to rest alone upon the actions of
low-minded and unprincipled white
men belonging to the Radical party.
It says:
In the city of Columbia s. c.,
where, under the government oc car
pet-baggers and their allies, the peo-
pie have been plundered beyond en-
durance, a movement for reform has
been commenced, the most encoura-
cling feature OF which is that it was
set on foot by colored citizens here
tofore- completely under the influence
of the white rascaIs who have made
public robbery their regular occupa-
ton. We learn from the Charleston
E:rpreSs that it was the colored men
in Columbia who first came forward
and offered to cooperate with the
whites in a united effort for good
government. In many parts of the
South where the negro element pre-
dominates. the most intelligent of
the colored men, disgusted with the
villainies which have been perpetra-
ted by the carpet-baggers and their
eonfederates, have joined hands with
the Conservatives. in the hope of
thereby ending the rule Of thieyery
which has so long prevailed there.
In this significant fact we see one of
tile most encouraging signs Of the
times

IL The New York Tribune of a
late date publishes a letter from
Philadelphia giving interesting de-
tails of the progress of preparations
for the great Centennial Exhibition
in Philadelphia. 1t appears that
this progress is quite as rapid as
could reasonably be expected, and
il, indeed, greater than was hoped
by the most sanguine a year ago.
The new plan for distribution Of
space, which is described. seems
much more practical and desirable
than the original design. The most
advantageous positions are properly
assigned to the United States, Eng
land, France and Germany-the
countries which are the great COM
petitors for the trade of the world,
and which are likely to be the largest
to the Exhibition.
