Now, the political situation in
Ohio as settled, for fact. The veritable
and inevitable Gibbs Old Hannah,
has gone over into Macedon to help
the Republicans! He is damned with

Commerciaz as "Col Gibbs, of Tennes-
see" "Coloner' is good. Possibly
Brevet Colonel of battalion of Gov
eminent mules in a carral, during
the suspension of hostilities. The
Ohio Republicans must be desperately
short of material. Even victory
would be dearly purchased with such
an aff1iction. Tennessee, meanwhile,
must endure the painful consciOusnI IS
OF having Gibbs at large as respect
able Tennesseean. 1t is an intellectual
depreciation we had not counted on,
in connection with the Ohio cam
paign. But we suppose we can stand
it, ifOhio can. We know of but one
thing in political annals more dismal
than the defeat which awaits the
Ohio Republicans, and that is-one of
old Gibbs comic anecdotes Even
as a humorist, the wretched, but
harmless old clown, is not a success
american.

CURRENT EVENTS.

The Pennsylvania Democrats stand
on platform very much like that of the
Ohio Democracy, but the New York Dem
oerats have adopted a hard money plat
form-filnty in its hardness. This was to
be expected, however, as New York is
the great money centre of the Union; the
millionaires live there, and having bonds
they want them to be valuable. Spe-
ole payment is an old time Democratic
doctrine, but it was not observed during
the war, and the effects of that departure
not having been removed, it would be
criminal to return to it now.

ghOoIing Between FL. -. Cole.
Esq, UUd +. 81. Harris,
On last Thursday afternoon, about
o'clock, the usual quiet of our town
wRs disturbed by the report OF several
Bhots on the public square. The difficult
ey was between II. =. Cole. Esq, and
+. d. Harris, Sheriff of the county.
Three shots with double barrel shot
guns were exchanged, being fired, two
BY Mr.. Harris, and one by Mr.. Cole.
The former was struck in the face, the
ball entering just below the eye, iFtlict-
Ing a severe, though not considered
dangerous wound. y second shot
struck his watch which was in the
breast pocket of his vest, shatterinC it.
Enough doing no other harm. A third
shot cut the sleeve OF his coat Mr..
Cole escaped untouched. As the affair
will undergo judicial investigation, VIC
4efrain from comment on the cause OF
che difficulty. Suffice it to say the inn
nediate cause OF the shooting was the
publication in last weeks Republican
Of card by Mr.. Harris rejecting on
Mr.. Cole, Mr.. Cole demanded an I'M
conditional retraxit, which MIR. Harris
declined to make, whereupon Mr.. Cole
gave notice, and posted Mr.. Harris on
south side public square. The poster
embraced the usual denunciatOry lan-
GHsge Mr.. Colo look s. chair, being a
one legged man, near his poster when
Ahe fight occurred. Boththe parties en-
gagged, are well known and influential

1871. Capt. Harris has resided at Bran
don, Miss, for many years; has been re-
peatedly elected Sheriff of Rankin
County, and is well and favorably
known in said county, as we learn. He
has many relations in Maury County,
Tenn, all of whom are respectable cit
liens of the county, His brother-in-
law, Thompson Fleming, has held sew
eral offices of honor and trust in this
county, which he has filled with fidelity
to the public, and credit to himself.
Providence has evidently favored this
family, and may their good conduct in
future, as in the past, produce like hap
Ply results as has attended them in life,
up TO the present time. 1t is deeply re-
GREETED by the relatives, and acquaints
ances of Capt. Harris, that the personal
difficulty occurred, as described in the
above extract; and it is fcndly hoped
that the good people of Rankin County,
Miss, will interfere, and prevent any
further difficulty between the parties.

We would be glad to have our friends test

true patriotism) the blood of its sons,
poured out wealth gained by bitter toll
in an endless stream, and stood ready to
offer up everything it possessed. This
people is probably unequaled, certainly
unsurpassed, in that grand common spirit
which devotes millions upon millions
(through the noble generosity of simple
citizcns) for purposes of public instruction,
benevolence, science and art. This peo-
