IS Ia TIE IN Acre

The display Of wheat at tha recent Fair
was very large, embracing all kiuos
grown in the couaty. The samples were
excellent, the grains largo, hard and
plump, and weight heavy. Mr.. A, f..
Blust, Of Bradley county entered
specimen Of wheat, called Burk's Golden
Straw, that weighed 67 pounds to the
bushel, with a yield of ity,6ve bushels

raised in Bradley county. and is unques-

rrIr EnI-R.ru nIkTRICT

Colonel Bsilie PeytOn, Of Sumner,
and Mr. h. q. Riddle, are candidates for
congress in the fourth district, to fill the
vacancy occssioncd by the death Of
hon. samuel NJ. Fife. At q public
meeting held at Lebanon, on the second
instant, both gentlemen made speeches,
avowing their candidacy and policies.
Colonel Peyton spoke Of his past services
IN congress, at time when politics and
politicians were comparatively pure and
honest, and referred to the present de-
moralization and corruption in all de-
partments Of the government, which he
denounced unspsringly, and devoted
considerable time 10 8 discussion OF the
uuency question, taking a position
Substantially the same as that adopted
I,a majority Of southern Democrats.
Mr.. Riddle, in biz speech, as represent.
ed by the Lebanon Herald, declared
himself Democrat In strict
subOrjination to the party, ready 70
abide the decision Of q convention OF
the district, at the same time declaring
the principles by which he would be-
guided should the people elect him 70
congress. He contended that govern
ment should devote itse!f in its legisls-
ton 20 the exercise of the fewest posi-
bic functions OF power, and that the peo-
pie should be left to do everything for
themselves which could possibly be done
without the aid Of the government. He
declared himself opposed to a protective
tariff, and, in fact, to all protective legis-
lation; and also to Internal improve
ments by the general government, IN
less il should become the policy Of the
Democratic party to favor the Southern
Pacific railroad, which be believed
would be the case. Hesis opposed to
sqUandering the public domain, and ia
vOrs 3 repeal Of the law creating the na-
tioual banks, and the issuance Of green
backs 10 take the place Of the notes Of
said banks. He advocated repeal OF
the gold resolution Of March, 1869, and
OF the resumption law, and very cor
rectly maintained that the last named
law was the main cause Of the prostrs-
ton OF business and paralysis of
the trade OF the country. Mr..
Riddle also fsyors an increase Of the
currency to nine hundred million dol
lars as, did Mr.. Peyton, and the pay
ment Of the fivs-tweuty bonds in green
backs, closing an able speech by declar-
ing himself in favor Of the unity and
indivisibility Of the government; that
the war had permanently settled the
foundation principles upon which it
rested; that secession was no longer
possible; that it was the duty Of every
good citizen to labor for the perpetuity
OF the Union, snd that, in his opinion,
IL would last "till times last whirlwind
shakes the vaulted sky" All OF which
will no doubt be Endorsed by the Dis
trict Democratic convention, which will
perhaps be held this week. EitheA Of
the gentlemen, we apprehend, win be
acceptable TO the people Of the fourth
district

It is asserted by papers who delight in
assailing the Democratic party by sug-
Restions Of its weakness on the fiDan-
cial question, that it was the position Of
the party on that question in Ohio that
secured the Republican party its mesgeT
majority a few days since. We have
taken pains TIME and again TO disprove
this from the columns OF the most ultra
Republican papers Of that State-the
Cincinnati Tines among them-which
declared the triumph Of its party vic
tory on the school question. And this
Is the fact. FOR it is well known that the
Republican party in all the States west
or the mountains, Is 81 much divided on
the currency question as the Demo
cratic. But Notwithstanding our
showing, the same papers con-
;'nue to repeat these statements and
TO add that the same question, urged by
the Pennsylvania Democracy in the
same way as 10y the Ohio Democracy, &C
complished the reelection Of Hartranft.
This, also, is far from being true. The
New York Herald even, admits that the
currency question was largely ignored
in the keystone State, the defeat OF
Allen pro iucing but little effect. Reform
in domestic concerns engaged the most
attention snd was the chief topic dis
cpssed before the people. The financial
nlank in the Republican platform reads
g free banking, a safe and uniform ma
tional currency, adjusted to the growing
wants Of the business interests OF the
country. and q STEADY reduction oil the
national debt" Many Republicans con-
sidered this a demand for more paper
money, and so supported it. we
therefore reiterate again that 1t was
not the financial question that occa-
sloned the defeat Of the Democratic
party in Ohio and Pennsylvania. 1t

60 -. reform in The other. The financial

Jarvis and the Funeral.


There is a story related of Jarvis, the
distinguished painter, to the effect that,
walking down Broadway one day, he
saw before him dark-lookiDg foreigner,
bearing under his arm red cedar cigar
box. he stepped Immediately into his
"wske," and whenever he met friend
(which was once in two or three min
utes, for the popular artist knew every
body), he would beckon him with q
wink to "fall into line" behind. By
and-by the man turned down one OF the
cross-streets, followed closely by Jarvis
and his "'tail." Attracted by the meas
ured tread Of so many feet, he turned
around abruptly, and seeing the process
sion that followed his footsteps, be ex-
claimed: "What foT de debble Is dis?
What for you take me, ehf' "Sir," ex-
claimed Jarvis, with an air of profound
respect, 1--WE saw you going to the grave
alone with the body of your infant, and
we took the opportunity to offer you
our sympathy, and to follow your babe
to the tomb.n The man explained, in
bis broken manner, that the box con-
tanned only cigars, and be eviDced his
gratitude for the interest which had
been manifested In his behalf, by break
ing 1t open and dispensing them very
