Most of our State exchanges have had their
say about the Senatorship, and some Of Thorn
we think havo di played bad taste, some of
them TEMPER and some Of them prejudice, in
their recommendations, and others in their
dictations TO the Governor.
The times must be sadly out Of Joint when
a vacancy like this cannot occur and be
properly filed without an unsoenlly scram-
BILE Every cross roads has its aspirant, and
nearly every paper in the State has trotted
out favorite. And many Ct them have
hndge,ed the Governor 10 little in behalf Of
their pets. This is all wrong. No man who
is competent and worthy to fill the position
would consent for his name to be used in
this way. The Senatorship Is u position not
90 be bestowed upon the most successful
wire-puller. or the most plausible dema-
gogue, Just because there is clamor in his
favor from a crowd of bowling friends. And
IL seems to US that the Governor would find
1t difficult TO secure u competent and worthy
man among those whose names have been
thus indecently thrust before him. We
maintain that, though the claims of leading
men may be thoroughly discussed by the
press, the Governor should be guided alone
by competency and worthiness in the Sc
lection of the successor of Senator johnson
and that the press should sustain him in such
course. We repeat, no competent, worthy
man will permit his name to embarrass the
Governor in the selection Of Senator.

SCHEDULE.
To Our Patrons.

Next week the CITIZEN will make its
appearance in an entire change Of dress,
and printed altogether at home. We
have contemplated this change for
many months, but circumstances which
we need not mention have prevented
US from making it until now. 1t is our
purpose TO make the CITIZEN intensely
local, and we hope our readers will all
be pleased with the change, and that
many new ones will be added to our
list. The increased demand for the
CITIZEN this week compels us again tC
issue a few half sheets. We shall try
to avoid this in the future.

The Detroit Free Press thinks that
''nO good purpose will be subServed by
again dragging the Brooklyn scandal
into the courts" But this is n mistake.
Very few of us had time to read the ev-
idence carefully during the late trial,
and we all want chance to read it
again. We can't get up such a scandal
as that every day, and to throw it aside
without reveling in its delight as long
as possible would be suicidal in the eX-
IRENE. Besides, few children heard
much of the late trial-especially the
inmates of orphan asylums and the pu-
pills of female seminaries-and it ought
to be repeated for their benefit, if iOI
nothing else COurier-JOurRdL.

Gov. Porter, who has been in
Paris for few days, enjoying a short
respite from his public duties, has re-
turned to Nashville. Gov. John c.
Brown is also at the Maxwell, and the
pipe laying" for the Senatorial sue
cessiOn is going on with vigOr. Gov.
Porter is owe: whelmed with letters
from all parts of the State, and there
seems TO be no pause in the avalanche
of correspondence which beats around
the executive mansiOn.-JdcbSOH Wing
and Tribune.
The above paragraph does great in
justice to Gov. Brown, and we are sur
prised that our usually prudent confrere
should seek thus to misrepresent him.
He was summoned to Nashville on bus
mess, and went purpOsely when he
knew Gov. Porter was absent, and
would not have met the latter at all but
for his detention in Nashville "a hours
by severe attack of illness. Gov.
Brown has never solicited the position
from Gov. p. nor authorized any per-
son to do so for him. On the contrary
he has denied to his friends the privi-
lege even of mentioning his name to
the Governor.

EB- We have had very little to say
about the SenatUrship, because we have
been willing to leave the matter entire
ly in the hands of Gov. Porter, feeling
satisfied that he would act conscientious
ly for the best interests of the people.
Nor do we now propose TO make any
suggestions upon that subject. But
there is one misrepresentation which
we think should be corrected which
does injustice to "A distinguished citi-
zen, whose name has been mentioned
in connection with the position, though
we are not advised that it is by author
ity from him. 1t is claimed by some
that Gen. Bate developed more strength
before the last Legislature than any
other aspirant except Mr.. johnson. We
do not know how they arrive at such
conclusion. Up TO the time Gov. Brown
withdrew his name, it is a matter of
record that he led the opposition TO Mr..
johnson in "A large majority of ballots.
and received the highest vote given TO
any of Mr.. is. opponents. Gen. Bates
subsequent strength was due to Gov.
Browns magnanimOus desire for har-
mony, and his prompt withdrawal from
the contest when he saw ii was tor the
good OF the party. Thus he sacrificed
his own llattering prospects to secure
harmony and put an end To the struggle 4;
and the sacrifice is now used migrate
fully in the interest of others and
against him. True he claims nothing
and asks nothing, but the truth OF his
tory, as well as justice TO an eminent
and faithful public servant, now retired
To private life, we think, justifies and
demands this correction.

hHrfnHR


We, the Grand Jurors at the August term
of the Circuit Court of Bedford county, 1878,
certify that an effort was made by a man of
color, at said term, 10 obtain bill of Indict-
mcnt for attempt to commit rape upon the
wife OF the prosecutor, and that said indict-
ment, after an examination of all the testi-
mOny that the prosecutor could bring before
us, was returned by us "not a True Bill
We certify that IL was so returned for the
reason, that we believed, and were fnlly con-
WINGED, from the manner of the witnesses,
including the prosecutor, and from the many
and glaring contradictions and inconsisten-
cies in their several statements, they being
examined separate and apart from each other,
that the attempt ut prosecution was
prompted by malice against the Rev. D. g
Halliburton, the person charged, or by de-
sire to black-mail, and that there was no
circumstance in the case that would have
justified or authorized us To make any other
return.
We give, at the request of some ofMr. Hal
liburtOn's friends, this certificate freely, as a
matter of justice to him, being informed that
the charge preferred against him has been
generally circulated throughout the commu
nifty in which he resides, and in other C, m
munities in which he has friends and &C
quaintances, in order that they and the
friends of christianity everywhere may know
that the charge is based upon no foundation
in fact or in truth, according to our belief.

ES- What are we going to do for
meat? This Is the question which now
agitatcs the mind of the average Giles
county man. There are no hogs to cat
the corn 10 make the meat to feed the
man TO live in the house that Jack
built. This is senseless and needless
alarm. There will be plenty of meat,
Bacon is not the king IL has formerly
been. People have been forced 10 do
without it until they have learned how.
And besides they have learned that
mutton and beef are both better and
cheaper, and that people have been
eating too much meat anyhow. Then
fatten your pigs, and cure your bacon
and sell your surplus, remembering that
you can 10 now ON half the bacon you
Hsed 10 think necessary. And for gra-
cieus sake, don't go poking round any
more this year trying to find something
TO grumble about. Let us have one
jolly year, free from grumblIngs, with
plenty to eat and plenty to spend.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1875-08-19

ES- There is always something to re-
greet. Man is never satisfied, no matter
how blessed his condition, or how
pleasant and plenteous his surrounding.
The complaint now is that there are so
few hogs in the country, and not with
standing the bouutifulness of crops,
and the certainty of bread, we still
hear mutterings of dissatisfaction
Some talk as If they were actually
afraid of starvation because hogs are
scarce. Why, bless your souls, dear
croakers, the people have nearly
learned TO do without meat during the
past year or two, and there will be the
greatest plenty. We heard Il labOring
Giles county man say not long ago that
he had been forced to cut down his meat
ration IL very small cut once a day,
and that lac felt better than he ever did
when he ate meat three times day.
lie had been raised to believe that ba-
con three times a day was necessary to
sustain laboring mans strength and
endurance, and it was hard to give il
up; but he had It 10 do, and he is glad
OF IL. His head is clear in the morning,
aud he feels vigorous and strong.
Don't eat so much meat, man, and you
will have plenty, even this year.
