WE publish on first page a speech
delivered before West Tennessee
Grange by Mr.. George Il. Fleece, well
and favorably known in this locality, as
locating and construction engineer of
tho railroad from Guthrie to Paris.
The Grangers everywhere will do we'll
to read it carefully and often, because
it teaches lessons in political economy
that are both wise and practical, and
gives facts and figures rarely found so
clearly and concisely set forth. And
whilst it truthfully points out the
causes of the oppression under which
agriculture, and every other industrial
pursuit languishes, it just as clearly in
dicates the means of redress-wfesting
the government from the hands of the
spoilers aud confding its administra-
ton to honest and competent public
servants. But we will not attempt to
enlarge upon what is so full, nor to il
lustrate that which is made so clear.
Read it, file it away and read it every
Saturday, until its facts, figures and
arguments are indelibly impressed
upon the mind, ready for application
when an officer is to be elected and a
vote given.

IT is gratifying to know that one of
the mischievous errors of other days is
being exploded. In the days of slavery
the rich felt no necessity for laboring
in the fields, whilst the poor, who had
been taught no trade. felt the degrade
tion-real or imaginary-Of laboring
side by side with slaves, and were con-
tent TO liveas they could, or emigrate
to some new country. Now, large
proportion of the cotton is produced
by white labor, and statistics will
show that those who thus labor, are
more healthy and more prosperous
than those who hire, aud rely upon,
unSkilled and unreliable cOlored la
borers. This should teach valuable
lesson 10 young men of the South, who
spend their time in idle expectation
that something will turn IN, and disa-
buse the minds Of Northern men who
are afraid of the sun and malaria of
the genial South.

ALIENS MAJORITY.
Ohio Will Go Democratic by from So
900 to 10000.

ChillIcoth dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer
In conversation with personal friends
here yesterday, Gov. Allen was asked
his candid opinion of the result of the
election in the State. He said he had
no doubt whatever of the election of
the entire Democratic State ticket by
majorities ranging from 10000 to Co.
000 There has been no doubt in the
minds of Democrats here of Demo-
cratic success. but the opinion of a
gentleman having the opportunity for
gaining accurate personal knowledge
that the Democratic standard bearer
has had during this campaign increases
their zeal to enthusiasm.

impossible. 1t is miSdirected civil

THE effort of the administration to
cheat the Indians out of the Black
Hills, for the benefit of gold hunters
and gold holders, is likely to prove a
failure. The immense frauds of the
Indian Ring practiced upon the Indi-
ans, with the knowledge and, therefore,
conniyance OF the Great Father, have
enlightened the Chiefs and taught
them to look upon the Government as
a huge swindling machine, instead of
aprotector of their rights under solemn
treaties.

THE suspicion having gone abroad
that Carl Schurz is the agent of foreign
bondholders. twill do more harm to the
cause he now advocates thanany speech
hecan make will do itgood. In the com
pass of two or three years he has been
Radical, Liberal Republican and Rad
zeal again. In the same space of time,
he opposed contraction in the u. 5.
Senate, on the stump in Missouri, and
now he is spreading himself, in Ohio,
for resumption and consequent con-
traction. Such frequent changes of
policy and opinion must, as he will
fiud, neutralizc the highest order of
talents. We had hoped for him a
higher destiny than he is shaping for
himself.

DURING the loug period Of our pub
he life. W., have never been more graf
ih.,d than by the reception of Hon.
jefferson Davis, on last Wednesday
night, by the citizens of our town.
With only few hours notice of his
coming. spontaneous outburst of ad-
iniration for the greatSouthern states
man called the people together, and in
short time an imposing procession
was formed of citizens. Knights Tenn
plar, Kni1 hts Of Pythias and torch
bearers. eulivened By a brass band,
which methiin at the depot and escorted
him to the hospitable home of Mr.. NJ.
III. Clark, where he made ashort and
very appropriate address to the crowd
assembled to welcome him to the city.
On thursday morning, in company
with few invited guests, he partook
of an elegant breakfast provided I'M
der the hospitable roof, after which he
was presented to crowd of callers,
al anxious TO see and shake hands
with the yenerated leader of the lost
cause" Then followed the call upon
him, of the pupils of Professor Var
rell, of the Female Academy and of
the future Presbyterian University-to
ali Of whom in turn, he addressed
kindly and tatherly greetings which
touched all hearts and elected univer-
sal sympathy in behalf of the worn
statesman and patriot, whose life has
been devoted to the cause OF liberty
aud human progress. The afablllty
and urbanity of his manners impressed
all with the unaffected simplicity OF a
character at once earnest, honest and
resoIute-determined to do right, and
patient Of obloquy aud persecution Sc
often the fate of true greatness bat
Ting for the highest interests OF hu-
manity.
On the same day he left for Hop
kinsyille, KY, to deliver one of his
enlightening addresses on the all-im-
portant subject of agriculture. We
hope his reception there was worthy Of
the man and of the cause which is
almost the only one he can discuss
without far of the prosecuting mis-
cons. ruction to which his utterances
have been subjected by hypecritics Of
Radical propensities.

THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.
A gentleman from Friar's Point
gives the following statement in regard
to the condition of affairs there:
Brown, the colored sheriff, who is a
candidate for reelection, came TO
Memphis last week and purchased
considerable quantity of ammunition,
which he took to Friar's Point and
distributed among his friends. On
Saturday night lasta Democratic Con-
sentative convention was held there,
and ticket was nominated in oppOsi-
ton to the one headed by Brown.
Senator Alcorn, being present, was
called upon for speech, to which he
responded, and in the course Of his
remarks he criticised Browns official
career in a severe manner. Brown,
who was present, became much excited
and demanded the privilege of reply
ing, but Judge Rex. chairman, fearing
blOodshed, adjourned the meeting.
Brown then announced that he would
call meeting Monday night, aud it is
supposed that the troubles apprehend-
ed grew out of this meeting last night.
DANGER PERHAPS aAGNIFIED.
A telegram was received late this
afternoon from prominent steamboat
man at Helena to parties here, asking
for arms and men to go this evening
to Friar's Point. But the agent of the
Associated Press here has telegraphed
to reliable party at Helena at noon
for a report, ia ease any collision &C.
Cured or serious trouble was appre-
hended; and, failing to get report,
he is of opinion that the danger was
maguiied in the first instance.
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
An Avalanche special from Helena,
received at 1890 tonight, says:
Great excitement prevails here on
account of the condition of affairs at
Friar's Point. l passed there this
morning. and the white people were
much excited, while the negroes APP
peared quiet. Many white ladies have
LEFT there, Senator Alcerp has sent
his daughter here for safety,
RUMoR THAT GEN. CHALMERS DIS
PERSED THE NEGROES.
1t is reported that the negroes, 300
strong. were within few miles of the

command of the whites, went out and
met them and gave them ten minutes
to di>perse, when the negroes retired
some three miles and again organized.
Cen. Chalmers again advanced and or
d.red them to disperse, which they
did This is the latest report from
there aud it is supposed that the
negroes are awaiting re-enforcements.
