pointed committee to address cir
cular to the leading land owners, mine

character and amount of the articles

will forward them to Philadelphia, and
on all other points ON which you may
need information as an exhibitor.
The importance Of having Tennessee
properly represented at the Centen-
NAL is apparent to every citizen in the
State, but unless each citizen contrib

that object, such !. repres .ntation can
not be had, and we will loose an op-

known to the world such as will moi
occur again for a hundred years.

the confident expectation that you will
not fail to respond TO it in manner
that will reflect credit alike on your

A Gigantic Coffin.

The stone sarcophagus in which
Guibord's remains are to be enclosed
is being made by one of the most skill
full workers in marble in Canada.
Each of the two blocks of Montreal
limestone from which the coffin is to
be made is seven feet long, four feet
wide, and about two feet thick. In
each stone cavity is to be cut of suf-
fcient width and depth to hold the
coffin in which Guibord's body is now
enclosed. The wooden coffin having
been placed in one of the cavities
the two stones will be accurately fitted
to each other and fastened together
with heavy iron bolts driven through
each stone, and rivited at each end
The whole surface of the sarcophagus
will then be covered with layer OF
Portland cement, mixed with scrap
iron, of thickness sufficient TO resist
the most powerful drills. The stone
coffin will weigh nearly nine tons. Ii
will probably be completed on Satur-
day next, and the interment will be
made within two or three days after
ward.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean-one OF
the leading Republican journals in the
Northwest-is by no means elated
over the result in Ohio. In its issue
of Friday last, it thus complains:
The result is victory-if victory il
be-which means nothing; a victory
which weakens the Republican party
and strengthens its opponents. For,
through the bungling of the CONNER
cial, the Democratic party of Ohio has
been permitted to stand as the advo-
cate and exponent of honest money
greenbacks-and the republican party
has been held up before the contrary
as false to its own cherished currency
system. and, therefore. false to the
people The Commercial has made Of
the Republican campaign fraud, and
as consequence the party, with ma :
jority of 10000, barely if at all, escaped
defeat.

The New York Tribune thinks that
disturbances like those in Mississippi
are only convincing proof of the fal
lacy of the miscievous principle upon
which the Republican party has at
tempted to conduct the affairs of the
reconstructed South, but consoles the
country with the promise that Mr..
Ames is the last of the old style of re-
construction governors, and that under
better leaders Mississippi will soon
take more honorable place among
her sister States.

able disadvantage, as one of their best
players was sick while the Lone

the Poplar Groves" The fielding OF
both parties was nothing to brag on,
yet good batting was done all through
the game. A large crowd witnessed

feeling prevailed, We hope the boys
will pick their fints and try again.

A Warming to Ghost Story Tellers.

A terrible sequel to an hours amuse-
ment telling ghost stories occurred at
the Surgical Institute, Indianapolis,
October2. A room full of young la
dies, patients of the Institute, amused
and excited each other by stories of
terrific apparitions. hobgoblins, ghosts,
etc. The gas had been turned out,
either Intentionally or by accident. In
the climax of vivid story one of the
girls threw her shawl over trembling
comrade. A little rustic and strange
conduct was noticed. When light
was brought the fact was revealed that
the poor girl was insane. She has re-
manned so ever since, yet hopes are en-
tertained of he's recovery.

UNTIL it is proven that the Radical
majorities in Iowa and Nebraska are
due to the currency question, it is il
logical to argue that it had that effect
in Ohio. In the two former States it
was not an issue.

THEY make a grave mistake who
have concluded that the election in
Ohio has settled, even nj that State,
che question of imitation or contrac-
lion. Itsettled nothing save thstloeal
interests often override the gravest
considerations of public welfare. The
school question, the religious bigotry
enkindled in weak minds and contract
ed souls, the welcome greenbacks
thrust by the money power into the
pockets of the mercenary. and the gold
worshippers of both parties, were the
agencies which caused the defeat of
the Democratic party. And it is real
ly creditable to Ohio that SO much
money bought so few of her voters,
aud it may be-still more to her honor
that the self-sold Democratic bond
holders made mp the larger portion Of
the meaIgre majority over which the
Radicals so loudly boast. As to its
effect upoz the future of the Demo
cratic party, we have little apprehension
that il viii be damaging, and it must
prove highly beneficial. should the de.
ceptiye victory stimulate the Radicals
TO hurried contraction in preparation
for resumption. Should they pursue
this policy, the most thoughtless ant
apathetic Of the masses will be awaken
ed, by necessity, to the perils ofth'
situation. and turn for self-protection
against the party which has SO long
beguiled and so often betrayed them
Nor must the Democratic party, in fu
ture contests, forget that its most dang
erous enemies are within its house
hold. Wall street and Tammany ar
both too intimately allied with tn,
money rings to tarn out Democrats 0

is there will the heart be also. Fo
this reason bondholding Democrat i

THE Radical majority in Ohio is a
fraction over 1000, and when we con-
slider the immense vote cast, so small
majority, which may have been due to
local contingencies, the conclusion is
unavoidable that a seeming victory
covers a signal defeat of the hard
money party. And this conclusion is
materially strengthened by the fact
that the Democrats had to fight the
money power at home and abroad.
This pitiful majority will vanish like
mist in Presidential election, when
local issues will disappear, and cleo
tons occurring everywhere on the same
day, voters will not be transported from
State to State.

1T is often asked-what is the mean
ing of religious bigotry being excited
against the Ohio Democrats 1t
means nothing more than this (: A
law was passed in that State, guaran-
teeing rights of conscience to prisoners.
This broad doctrine of course includ-
ed Catholic prisoners who are allowed
to be visited by their own clergy, as in
the case of other denominations. This
just and humane act-RadicalIsm con-
strued into an alliance between Dem
Gratis and Catholics, and the amount
OF lying done to pervert its meaning is
incalculable; and as if to give addi-
tional weight to the infamous fraud
some one of the shrewd but roguish
advisers of Grant "jotted down Il
little speech for him, containing the
prophecy of a religious war.

THOSE who argue that they have an
inherent right to keep dogs for their
own protection against destructive
wild animals. forget the principle Of
law which denies to any man the right
to foster a nuisance dangerous to the
community. And on the same prin-
ciple, the man who keeps dog or dogs,
that kill his neigabors' sheep, may be
hello responsible for the full amount
of damage done. We think the dog
Law should beso amended as to exempt
one dog to each house-keeper from
taxation and. at the same time, provide
that the owner of such dog, on COM
petent proof, shall be made to pay the
full value of every sheep the dog may
kill. The latitude and soil of Tennes.
see prove its superior adaptation. to
sheep culture, and since wool will ever
be valuable staple, it is the duty of
the Legislature to foster its production
by laws equable and wise without be-
ing oppressive. Few families have a
use for more than one dog. and such as
have fancy for pack, instinctively
prone to feed on raw mutton, should
be made to pay for the indulgence of
that fancy. Besides the question OF
protection to material interests. it
should be remembered that those who
keep dogs for the purpose of sport can
find far more profitable employment,
and that whatever fosters this idle
amusement, encourages waste of time
which is money to the farmer, and de-
tracts, in its aggregate, materially from
the sum total of production. Every
restriction imposed upon the passion
for hunting is protection to game, as
well IS to those harmless birds created
for the purpose of Protecting vegeta-
don against the ravages of the millions
of destructive worms which have each
its specially.
