Let us Make no Mistakes.

The Nashville Baaaer is get

have read many thipesin its coli

ing very sensible advice:
1t is, beyond doubt, the present
desire of an overwhelming ma.
iority of the voters of Tennessee
that we shall, next year, elect a
Democratic Governor, Legisla,
ture, Presidential Electors and
carry every one of the ten Con-
erosion Districts. besides secu-
ring a Democratic successor to
Senator Cooper. To assure these
desirable results requires the eX-
ercise of the sleepless vigilance.
the most circuInspeet party tao
ties and discreetest political de-
liberation. Thus far all is well.
The new Legislature moves off
with "a conservative and cautious
rehabilitation of It's responsibilities
TO that political constituency of
which it is the recognized expo
nent. Harmony prevails through
out the State. Let it not be dis
iurbed by dissensions born OF an
unseeInly and selfish personal
ground-scuffle for office. Let the
party be handicapped by no su

molb& We intended to copy
the expressions Of Leading Re-
publicahs papers, denouncing
the outrages committed in Lou
.isiana by Grant, and Sheridan.
But the numberfis so large, and
increasing every day, that we
are compelled to reconsider the
intention. Most of the Grant
organs, used as they are to un-
sayory subjects, are driven by
the force of public opinion to
protest against the outrageous
usurpations of Grant and his
man Sheridan. We copy a brief
extract as fair sample of many
that could be given
INDUSTRIOUS BLOODTBIRSTINESS.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer-Rep.l
General Sheridan's suggestion
and demand are alike atroclo1s.
THEY stand alone in their mon
struus bloodthirstiness; in their de-.
tiance of law, justice, humanity,
and the judgment of mankind.
They seem to suggest that this
work Of DISTINGUISHING a State and
giving its revenues and hon
ors up TO the control of alien ad-
venturers less respectable than the
f'reebooters who once made the
Calf THEN headquarters, when once
begun must be carried out at any
and every cost. All concealment
seems to be now thrown aside; the
desperate business of creating a
revolution is to force a conclusion,
and, alter Acknowledgement by
force of arms, a not uniting end
10 the monstrous wrong is sug-
gested that those politically OPP
posed to the Administration shall
be given up TO the sword, butch:
cred like Cuban school.toys or
Piegan, Indians by the troops of
Cavalry Sheridan" In all the
sudden making splendid names in
the rebellion there was none SO
sudden or so splendid as his. In
all the unmaking or furnishing of
names in Louisiana there is none
50 thoroughly unmade, none SC
furnished as his.

sufficient reason why itsemplOy-
mcht and use should be so rigor-
ously restrained. The value of
money fiuctuates asmuch as any
kind Of merchandise, and the very
spirit of trade is nourished BY
this rise and fall. When mon

it is very questionable whether
such law does not inculcate a
miserable kind of cxcusable I'M

him to do the duties; after

Governor Allen.

The conduct of Governor Allen to-
ward Senator Thurman is neither
graceful nor kind. He ought to re-
member that two years age he was as
politically dead as any man well could
be, and would have remained so
through all time had it not been that
Senator Thurman, in 1873, in looking
around for fgurehead for the Demo
cratic party, struck upon this old sau
rian uncle, and resurrectde him, see
what would come of it. The result
was a success, and the ancient William
became Governor of Ohio. With this
he ought to have been satisfied, but it
soon became apparent that Presiden-
tial maggot had got into his head, and
from that time to the present, he has
been the willing tool of Senator Thur
mans enemies. The Pendletonian
crowd know perfectly well that th ere
is not a ghost of chance for Allen,
but then he is just the man to beat
Thurman with, and leave Pendleton
for sweep-stake behind the scenes.
The only way now to dispose o.
these marplots is to pulverize them
with votes. A hundred thousand ma
jority for Hayes would be the propel
answer to this Allen -Pendletenian kna

any animals mentioned in this act at
large contrary to its provisions, may,
and any constable of any township, or
marshal or constable of any city or

claim his property, and pay all charg-
es for taking up, advertising and keep
ing the same within ten days from the
date of said no tice, the said animals
may be proceeded with under the laws
then in force regulating estrays; pro
vided, that the mere act of any such
animals running at large in or upon
any of the places mentioned in the first
section of this act, shall be prtna
facie evidence that such animals are
so running at large, contrary to the
provisions of this act; but if it shall
be proved that such animal running at
large had escaped from its owner, own
ers, keeper or keepers thereof without
his, or her, or their knowledge or fault,
then such animal shall be given to the
owner, owners, keeper or keepers up
on payment of reasonable conpensa-
tion for taking up end keeping the
same.
