The dispatches from Montreal will fur
nish instructive reading to politicians
who have been so ready to bring religious
issues lrematurely into our own political
discussions. Here is case involving the
mere burial of the bones of a man long
since dead which convulses a city, almost
a whole kingdom, for weeks, places the
city in imminent peril of riot, subjects the
Government to great expense, brings out
the military, and provokes bitterness
which years can hardly allay. How would
it be in the United States if politicians
were generally to find it to their interest
to foment religious disturbances through
out all the States as a means of carrying
elections or preparing for Presidential
compaign? Thoughtful people know now,
the whole country we trust will come soon
to realize, tLst there is no more reckless
or dangerous incendiary than the man
who seeks to arouse religious prejudices
in political matters, and invents or even
exaggerates occasions for sectarian ha-
treds. Wherever the school system is
really threatened, it must be defended at
all hazards. Where it is not threatened,
the reckless effort to make political issue
about it for personal advantage is crime
which should make the man who commits
il infamous. York Tribute.

Senator Bayard, of Delaware, is promi-
nently spoken of as possible Democrat
ic candidate for President He is a
statesman without a blemish, 'withou
lear and without reproach" He visited
Georgia in October, and a Tribune re-
porter interviewed him. He then speaks
of Grant:
"Gen. Grant is certainly seeking to be
re>nominated for the third term, and
those who depend upon him at all in poll
tics are afraid to declare against him.
notwithstanding any unpopularity he may
have with his party. 1t is a plain fact
that no man who desires or expects Gen.
Grant favor has ventured to make a
public declaration against his nomination
tor third term. IL is my belief that
Gen. Grant is as much determined upon
the third term as he was upon the first
and even more so. We all know the
logged determination of the man, and he
will insist upon third term even at the
cost of the dangerous and unworthy re-
sort to sectarian and religious strife as
an issue in the canvass, as suggested in
his Des Moines speech. His course in
Louisiana and his propositions to the
Government OF Arkansas all show how
daring and utterly INSCRIPTIONS are his
ends. His Summary decapitation of
Pease, and his other appointees in Mis-
sissiRpi because of their refusal to sus-
tain Gov. Ames in his war upon the liber-
ties of that people is fine illustration OF
his regard for civil service reform, and
shows what we may expect in the future
in the event of his reelection.
Mr.. Bayard then spoke of the Demo-
cratic party, and its duty TO the country
and to itself:
discussions in regard to its actions
would be at this time, OF course, prema-
ture. The duty of the Democratic party
In the mean time is TO maintain its or
ganIzatlon by insisting upon an adher-
ence to its time-honored and constitution
al principles. Its great object should be
to obtain the confidence of the country
and the only way to do this is to prove
that they deserve the confidence of the
country There should be no avoidance
Ofany important issue, and the personal
ambitions of candidates should be totally
disregarded and interests and welfare of
good government should alone be kept in
view. The Democratic party should not
only seem to be, but be in fact, the trust
worthy guardian OF the nations honor
and credit and of the just interests OF
every citizen. The country is sick of the
low tone which has characterized Presi-
dent Grants administration in almost ev-
cry department, and the better classes OF
his own party are as sick of it as any of
US; but, unless they feel sure that
chance of administration is to produc,
real reform and not expose the country
to new dangers, they will probably take
no action against bis reelection. | think
that Gen. Grants reelection, in the face
of bis utter unftness tor the place he oc-
cupies, and his marvellous incapacity 10
appreciate the high nature of the trust OF |
power aud IFS responsibility, would cause
me to despair Q the. capacity of our peo-
pie for self-government, and, indeed, of |
the continuance of civil aud religious
liberty in this country.

[Elmira Gazette Dem
The country has sufficiently declared
its sentiments on the subject of the cur
rency for some time to come, and we
think now, as we declared last Spring,
that the first session OF the ALlNth Con-
gress will find nothing better TO do than
o leave this question to work itself out
under the improving fna' 3ial condition
of the country Philadelphia Press
rep
The evidences of Grants purpose to
make himself candidate for another
Presidential term multiply so rapidly, that
he must be blind indeed who rejects the
conclusion that there must be desperate
conflict within the Republican party be-
fore the thlrd-term ambition shall be de-
feated.- Philadelphia Times (Ind.)
The Speaker should come from the
West, and the West presents candidate
in every way qualified for the position.
We allude to Mr.. NJ. G. Kerr of Indiana.
Mr. Kerr is man of ability, a man of
integrity, and true friend of the South.
We hope that he will receive every South
ern vote Augusta (Ga.l Chronicle
Dem
Zach Chandler and all tie organs that
he may set up, cannot nominate Grant for
third term. All the public officers com
bined could not nominate him. If any
number of them, whether his secretaries
or the collectors and postmasters, talk to
him of third term, they are cheating
him, for they know that the people will
not hearken a moment to such propo-
sition.-[ Trey Wing Rep
There really seems to be an effort at
Washington to put life into Mosby s
third-term project. There is nothing
that could be suggested by human ingen-
uity that would so completely kill and ut
terly extirpate the Republican party.
The miserable political hucksters who re-
volve about the President are as incompe-
tent to learn anything about the opinions
of the people as the Bourbons themselves.

The Franklin Tragedy.
Correspondent of the Age.


JASPER, Tenn, Nov. A, 1875.
Your journal finds Its way regularly to
our little town and is read with avidity
by subscribers and many others. In your
last issue see an account of the late
tragedy at Franklin. have just return
ed from trip to Williamson county, and
learned something of the affair which
lately shocked the citizens of that usually
quiet town. As Mr.. w. M. Allison, who
was connected with the affair, was born
and raised in your city, perhaps a brief
sketch of the parties may not be uninter-
esting to your readers. Mr.. A. was
formerly a resident of this place. He is
known as quiet, unassuming young GEN
tleman and lawyer of some ability for
one of his years. While he deeply re-
grets the occurrence which cost Col
House his life, he has implicit confidence
that he and officer Griffin will be proven
wholly justifable in the act. No parti-
san bitterness seems to have existed be-
tween the parties. Col House, who com
manded the First Tennessee, was a Con-
federate, as was also Mr.. Allison, who
mere boy, entered the Confederate ser
vice with three brothers and q father, the
latter of whom died in prison at AL on,
ILL.,, while brother fell under Lee, in Vir-
glnia. Allison was formerly editor OF the
Sum- at this place, where he made many
friends by his industry, honesty and in
tegrity, conducting that journal with
marked ability. In looking over a file Of
the Knoxville Chronicle, of January,
1871, find this aliusion to him, in con,
nection with notice OF the Sun:
Mr.. Allison was for several years a
resident of this city, and well known to
many of our citizens. His property was
swept away by the vicissitudes of war
and forced to rely on his own resources,
he went to the case, and in a lew
months became fair compositor, setting
his first type on the Knoxville CONNER
ciGt, studying law in his leisure intervals.
About two years ago he went to Nashville
aud worked at one OF the newspaper of
fees, going thence to Franklin, where e
obtained license to practice law. Th
energy displayed is worthy of emulation,
and We wish hum success in his new
field"
Mr.. Allison's friends. who are legion
around here and at Franklin, regret the
unfortunate occurrence, but since learn,
ing the particulars hisA acquittal is re-
garded as almost certain.
officer Griffin is a cool, determined
man, and careful in making arrests to
keep within the pale of the law.
As to Col. House, in obedience to the
recognized moral law, at once magnan>
imous and charitable, which forbids us to
speak other than good of the dead, | can
say that he was. previous to his defeat
for State Comptroller, a man of consider
able popularity at home

From the Utica Herald.


The real contest is between Samual j,
Randall of Pennsylvania, and Michael G..
Kerr of Indiana. Randall is the better
parliamentarian Kerr has more of the
elements of statesman Randall has
the more rugged health, indispensable In
the chair, for brute force must combine
with brains to rule in so large d body;
Kerr studied more into theories, and IS
more inclined to pronounce set speeches,
Randall has the more genial humor with
his friends and larger acquaintance with
members; Kerr is accepted in the country
at large as the broader and better equip
ped legislator. Randall favors a Penn
sylvania tariff; Kerr is free trader.
Randall yields to the demands OF the
South and West about the currency; Kerr
is denounced as taking his cue from
Wall street, and is for hard money. Kerr
was in the Fortieth, Forty-frst and For
ty-second Congresses, but was not in the

dali especially distinguished himself in

adroitness, his audacity, his endurance,
