for Che purpose OF considering proposition to
build Narrow Gauge Railroad from South

E.O. Briggs, of this village; Samuel Hoppn.
OF Bangor James Bull, of Detroit; John
Knowles A. Sherman. Z. Martin, X. w. Moves
and eome Others.
Mr., Cook and John Knowles had passed
over most Of the route and held some meetings
and press nted The matter for the consideration
of the people. Nj. Cook was the principal
talEcr anal presented the subject in a very
favorable end attractive light, and labored to

constructed and cbeapiy equipped and operated.

An un0e OF the late fice-President Wilson
has written letter to the Boston Herald, cor
rectng the story that the Goliath family, to
which Me. Wilson belonged, were OF gypsy
ong,n. The story was that young gypsy
named Goliath was in the employment OF Gov.
Wentworth, and remained in charge OF the lat
tors esste when he fled the country ON account
OF iha loyalty to King George and that from
this young gypsy descended the whole Goliath
fanny. The letter traces back the ancestry OF
Mr. Wilson to James Goliath, who did bust
nes- ,a Portsmouth, y. H., in 1850.

penses of conducting election campaigns
must be betrayed by some one, and it is
only reasonable that those who, holding
Office, derive definite and personal benefit
from party success, should contribute to
the defraying of those expenses. This
principle is acknowledged by both partie',
but was never more rigidly and cruelty car
ried out than by the Democratic party.
Expenses of this kind are not so great in
this country as they are elsewhere, where
the exercise of the elective franchise is but
a mere mOckery, the voters being bribed or
bought by the sufficient quantity to carry
an election; but they are sufficiently large
to Justify the assessments which have been
made. The law preventing forced assess
ments was judicious, if not necessary, and
when it is properly executed, will be found
to be beneficial to all parties interested,
now or in the future; but the clanor against
voluntary assessments, or the voluntary
psyment of assessments made to meet
party requirements, has been raised in the
interest of the Democracy. The selfish
men who heed that clamor, or use it as an
excuse not to give of their means according
to their ability to give, should remember
that they are enjoying the fruits of party
victories which will be turned into ashes if
the designs of the Democracy are realized
There should be no hesitation regarding
this matter, and every Office e-holder whose
pecuniary circumstances will admit OF it.
as well as every private citizen who desires
the success OF his party. no matter which
party it may be, should give. and give

THE San Antonio (TeIas) Express has a
habit of collecting different accounts Of
political and other murders which occur in
that State and printing them under the
caption of "The Outrage Mill" The lists
foot up something in the vicinity of hun
dred q week, and the victims vary, accord
ing to the descriptions we have read, from
negro desperadoes" to horse thieves, and
Mexican bandits to little children. OF the
latter the Espress clips from an exchange
the following account:
"We deeply regret to learn of fatal affray
between two small boys, at East Bernard, on
the night of the Sd inst, Columbus Brown and
Jethro (Buddie) Spivi; the latter fifteen that
day, and Brown near the same age. They
were out near the depot, when some misun-
derstanding occurred, and with little warning,
if any, Brown stabbed Spivi in the arm near
the shoulder Joint, severing the brachiai ar
terry, from which he died in a few hours"
1t must be admitted, in view of these
facts, that Texas is not very desirable
place of residence, but the explanation is
gwen that this murder mania. particularly
the mania for political murders, has in
creased ten-fold since Coke, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, came into office.
In fact, since that time the. administration
of Justice has been 80 lax that life and
property are without protection; and al
though the State is prosperous beyond pre-
cedent, in spite of these drawbacks, its re-
sources are only partially developed, its
debt increased, its credit endangered, and
its prosperity retarded. All this under
Democratic rule, in which the ''niggers, :"
''carpet-baggers, and "scalawags" have
no voice save to cry in vain for mercy.

FROM Lne nOEIOlk LAY bOOksl
The Norfolk Day Book finds some consolation
in the grasshopper plague, with which the North
west is afflicted the fact that emigration may be
attracted to the South, where such infections are
unknown. This would probably be the case II
worse plaques than grasshoppers did not abound
in that section. So long ss they do abound, how.

Well, true But we didn't want to say any
thing about our "worst plsgues"-you mean,
Of course, the pestiferous obstructionists-
hoping by the strategy 'of doing evil that
good might follow" to induce such a swarm Of
immigrants into our State as eventually to
crush out at the ballot box these "Worst

way the Lord only knows how we can, for by
special Providence he raised the wind and
blowed the grasshoppers away fromthe Egyp-
tians. But our pest-the Bourbon politicians
are quite different, and we don't believe the

MIR. VICE PRESIDENT WILSON'S APPEAL
toIthe so-called Liberals, who straYed into
the Democratic fold during the last national
campaign, to return to the Republican ranks
is rejected with disdain by that arrogant
and selEconceited crowd, as we expected
it would be. When man of his position
bends a suppliant knee to them, the act
simply serves to increase their self-suffl-
cheney and make them more arrogant than
ever before. The New York Tribune re-
plies to his invitation as follows
"But suppose they do not want to come.
We have not observed among the independent
voters any overweening desire to be forgiven,
any inclination to sgo back in the disguise OF
prodigals, any consciousness that they nave
done ANYTHING for which the Republican party
may take the liberty of torgiving them. When
the late Mr.. Michael McGroarty, who was
lively in his cups, was arraigned in the Police
Court for smashing the furniture, hitting the
baby with his closed fist, and knocking down
his wife with a smoothing-ir6n, he magnan-
imously offered, if Mrs. McGroarty would with
draw the complaint, to go home with her and
say nothing more about it. The proposal,
however, did not strike either that lady or the
Justice as precisely the thing, and Mr.. Nc
Groarty was consequently sent up. In like
manner it appears to us tiIat when the Repub-
licans propose to forgive Tie independents aud
'say nothing more arOut it if they will only
fall into line and vote tie regular ticket, they
m:sarprchcnd the situation. The independent
voter. not being in search Of an Office, cares
very little whether lie is welcomed with open
arms or not. He has got tired Of considering
political party in the light either of family
whose members are bound to speak no i'll of
one another, or an army whose soldiers have
only to stand firm and obey orders. When he
protested in public against the misconduct Of
Republican politicians, and when he stepped
out of the ranks and refused to march with
his former associates who were going the
wrong way, he exercised an undoubted right;
nay he performed no more than a duty, for
which he certainly does not solicit forgiveness.
Let us get rid of this notion that it is species
of treason to leave your party when your
party is in the wrong. Mr.. Wilson, we pre-
sumo, claims the right of private judgment in
religion; it is rather hard he should not allow
as much in politics."

A meeting of the Board of Public School
Trustees will be held tonight, the princi-
pal business Of which will be the appoint
ment of teachers for the next school-year.
Heretofore it has been the custom for the
sub-boarts of the several districts to nomi-
nate the teachers for their own districts
each year, and said nominations were re.
ported to and ratified pro .forn1G by the
board as body. Now it is stated that this
system is to be set aside and all the nomi-
nations will be made in open board and the
candidates balloted for, by which means it
will be ia the power of majority to de-
feat any teacher for his or her position,
against the expressed wish of the trustees
representing the section in which he or she
will be called to labor. Heretofore, when
the board of trustees was a much larger
body than it is at present. the school affairs
were managed without any of the clashing
which is unfortunately becoming feature
of each recurring meeting Of the
present board. The school-system is GER
tainly in good condition at present, and
IL ID " OC hOpCN bk4nS Nv bAC w.
night the petty personal feelings of indi-
vidual members will be dropped, and such
teachers nominated as will best subserve
the interests of the public and uphold the
credit and reputation of the schools. II,
however, at the meeting either of the trus-
tees have good and sufficient reasons against
the election of any teacher let them be
publicly stated in open board, and not con-
cealed under the cover of secret ballot
We are certain that a majority Of the board
are opposed to this unmanly method of
selecting teachers, and are equally certain
that small minority are capable by that
means of gratifying the spite they dare not
openly express. The proceedings tonight
will demonstrate whether two or three
men can influence such an honorable body
to countenance such dishonorable act.

tWo-and-a-half columns of doubIe-leaded bre.

idential record, Murtagh tells US how Wilson
came to be nominated. and we are not sur
prised to learn that Murtagh did it himself.
This is the way he concludes: "He would not
now be in condition to provoke this reply from
us had it not been that the shrewd manage
ment of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, at Phil
adelphia, gave Virginia the floor, instead of
Tennessee. Because that shrewd management
secured his nomination, we feel that we have
doubly the right to criticise him, and we do
it without hesitation, solely upon our own re-
sponsibility." That is to say, Murtagh had
the convention in hand and carried 1t for VIII

murder, during the war, of Col. White, a Con-

As Bowen is Republican, the Democratic

mention this fact. When Bowen failed to
win his libel suit against the Charleston
Courier, and was arrested for the trial re-
ferred to, the agent in question made haste

DOG STATLsTIng

Athens Post: The I'd civil district
OF McMinn Acknowledges to over one
hundred dollars Of dog tax. The as
sessment SO far indicates st least two
thousand dollars in the county from
the enforcement Of that prolific and
immense measure, with an annual
diminution of the dog crop.
Greeneyille Aaaeyicua Squire Feb
lers assessed the dogs In three dis.
tricts recently, the number aggre-
eating 500. Taxing this as the ground
for an estimate Greene county has
$500 dogs. However, the real num-
Der, it is thought, win prove much
larger. Say the number is 5000 and
that each dog viii consume even Eve
cents worth Of food per day, we have
the county paying $54.850 a year for
the support Of dogsi
