the &uernscy county Jaii--JOhn
Eaess Recaptured.
On Thursday, the 9Th inst, four pris-
oners escaped from the Jail of Guernsey
County. JOHN HE'S, well known to the
people Of this county, was one of the
number, hut was recapturel near the
town, Cambridge. We clip the follow
ing from the Jefersonian Of the 10th
inst:
"A',out 5 o'clock last Thursday after
noon the Sheriff handed in their supper,
"a usual AMI shortly after went out to
the corner of Main street on business -
Mrs. Hartley was in the upper part of
the house, sick in bed, and 10 one was
around except the servant girl, All this
tue prisoners seemed to understand, and
their plans were at once made and as
promptly executed. They were provi,
ded with key to the lattice door, and
the only obstacle between them and lib.
erty was the outer door to the jail, When
the servant Girl opened this door to
reach for the supper dishes, they decay
ed her inside, threw open the lattice
door, and while one seiz ID her and, with
threats Of taking her life,h her till the
others had fairly started, they made a
hold and successful strike for freedom
The time was well chosen, as at that
hour hut few persons were on the street,
and before the alarm was given they had
left the outskirts of town and were rap
idly making their way through the fields
to the timber ard hills north of town.
John Hess kept up with the others for q
short distance but, having passed David
Sarchet's residence and reached the corn
field beyond without finding marketa-
BILE horse. his natural repugnance to walk
ing overcame his resolution and he
dohged into clurpp of bushes. His
change of base was noticed by Mrs. Sar
chet who called attention to it, and he
was speedily captured and brought back

FUNDS FOR THE CENTENNIAL.

In the absence of any appropria-
ton by the Legislature to secure a
proper representation from Tennessee
in the Centennial Exhibition at Phil
adelphia next year, it will be neces-
sary to raise funds in some other
way. The amount will be compare
lively insignificant, and should be
easily secured from private sources.
1t is too important a matter to allow
to 90 by default, and we trust it will
not be done. There is sufficient en-
terprise in the State to secure such Il
representation of our resources as the
occasion demands. All that is re-.
quired is organization and work.
Every county should have something
on exhibition, and it is time now to
begin the work. Do not put it off to
the last moment and then plead, "too
late We have no direct interest in
this matter, more than other Tennes-
seeans who feel pride in their State
and an interest in its prosperity; but
we would never cease regretting it, if
we should fail to improve this oppor-
tuaity Of making known our resour.
ces TO the world. Hundreds of our
people if not thousands have already
made up their minds to 90 to Phila.
delphia next year. Let them think
how they will certainly blush to
find an exhibition there discreditable
to the Volunteer State, and have to
acknowledge that it was only for a
want Of enterprise on their part.

we trust our farmers will receive q
good price. We would not advise
them to hold on for fancy" prices,
however, for if they do they will Ger.
tainly be disappointed, There is no
foundation upon which to base a hope
that the prices of wheat will reach
the average of what it has been for
the last ten years. If this wheat
is put in the market it will bring a
great deal Of money into our section,
and will do very much to revive bust
ness. For a few months, this is our
only hope Of relief.
In the mean time, let the people
Continue to do as they have been do
ing. Let them economist. Buy
nothing that you do not need and

sition and the fact that their names have
been put forward by their friends should
not be used to their disparagement.
Whoever the nominee of the National Re.
publican Convention may be- whether it
shall be General Sherman, Vice President
Wilson, Speaker Blaine. Hamilton Fish,
Senator Morton, or any one of the others
who hay been named in that connection
he will receive hearty and heartfelt sup
port from the Chronicle, aud not having
denounced either of them, either for per-
sonal reasons or in the interest of rival
candidates, we shall not be in the awkward
position of some of our contemporaries, of
having to eat our own words. This may
not be an unpleasant thing to do, for peo-
pie who act from impulse, rather than
principles, or who know no higher feeling
than to praise the hand that feeds them for
the time being but men of integrity can
not do so without loss of self-respect. If
Mr.. Wilson, or Speaker Blaine, or any one
of the other persons named, have been cor
rupt, and are unworthy Of the public con-
fidence, they will be none the less so after
their nominations, and the editor who
makes such charges before the selection of
the candidates, with a view Of preventing
their nominations, and failing in that, then
supports the persons he has denounced,
can not fail to occupy very disrepatable
position before the public.
This is the true spirit. We should
not denounce a man rs corrupt
and unworthy of confidence, in
order to prevent him from get
ting the nomination Of q con-
vention, unless we are determined
not to support him if he should be
nominated. Honest people have no
respect for an editor that will do it.
For ourselves, we do not expect a
corrupt man to be nominated for the
Presidency by a Republican Conven-
ton, though such thing might posi-
bly, prove true. But we do not pro.
pose in advance of the Convention to
denounce one man in the interest of
another and afterwards support the
man we have denounced.

"A FACT WORTH REMEMBER

bellum issue of the Nashville RepuJIi.
can Banner:
There is fact, very significant of the
relative soundness of the Wing and Demo-
cratic parties upon the Compromise and
Union questions, which should by no means
be forgotten. At the last session of Con
gress, soon after the passage Of the compro-
mise measures, the following paper was
circulated among members for their sigma
lures, and was signed as it appears below.
The names in italics are those Of Northern
members:
"The undersigned, members Of Thirty
First Congress of the United States, be-
lieving that renewal Of sectional oontro-
versy upon the subject Of slavery would be

which such controversy can be avoided
