BARBOUR LEWIS.

This notorious Republican is out on
the var path again, having made his
appearance in Bolivar on last Saturday,
at a Hayes and Wheeler ratification
meeting, composed of about six whites
and 800 colored members of his party.
Barbour is always ready to serve any
master appointed over him and as well
prepared to endorse Hayes and Wheeler
as be was to applaud Grant four years
ago. He dwelt extensively upon the
success of Hayes in having been several
times elected as Governor of OHIO, and
once to Congress, bat failed to speak of
any thing conspicuous he has ever doIe
in either position-ou the contrary, he
thought Tilden having only been in pub
lie life about eighteen months, did not
have experience to FIJI the Presidential
Office, notwithstanding he has made
moro national reputation for statesman
ship in that short time than Hayes has
done in all his life. Barbour thinks that
the Democrats need all the reform neces-
sary, but said not a word about the
reeking corruption of his party, that
smells to heaven of uucleauness.
Barbour dwelt at length on the many
beauties of the Cincinnati platform.
commenting freely on each plank, except
the one endorsing Grants administration,
which he jumped over az too rotten to hold
even Barbour. He made furious attack
on seetarian schools, and dwelt severely
on Roman Catholics and Roman Cathol-
icism in America. This seems to be a
special point with the Republican party,
and sounds greatly like the notes struck
in the old days of Know-No thingism.
He said he did not intend to wave the
bloody shirt but could forbear to speak
of the Hamburg affair, until be was as
sured by gentleman present that all
good Democrats condemned this outrage
as much as he did. This assurance
seemed to take the wind out of Barbour
sails on this point, on which he intended
to expatiate to the delight of his colored
brethren, forgetting that in South-Caro,
lima, where Hamburg is, every officer OF
the State is a Republican and are re.
sponsible g they do not punish these
criminals. Barbour is evidently feeling
about for some Office, but was not willing
to remain and hear his speech answered
as he was challenged to do. He is a willy
"old coon, and knows how to turn his
tune, so as to play upon the predjudiceS
and passions Of his audience He is fol-
Hayes,not because Hayes is more honest,
more abb, or more acceptable to the PEG
pie than Tilden, but because his hatred
of Democracy Is the controlling influence
on his mind, and he is guided alone b.
this in all his canvasses. On the whole
Barbour made an unfavorAble impress
sion, his speech being without argumen
and his assertions not fortified by facts

Barbour Lewis, in his campaign jour
ney, reached Bolivar Friday night, and
Saturday ha tarangued his followers IN
the Court House. His coming had been
heraldsd in advance.
That swift telegraph agency, the fleet
footed neEro-pony expressman had
bugled every hole and corner of the
county with the news that the
great Republican apostle was coming to
lift aloft once more ia Hardeman the
standard Of Republicanism. At ian early
hour his sable disciples we're on hand in
crowds to receive Instructions for the
campaign. Mr.. Lewis yielded to advice
Of resident republicans and abstsiRed
very wisely from interfering publicly
with the local election about to take
place.
His speech did not breathe the gall bit
terness that we supposed would animate
it, judging from his reputed speech of
last week in Memphis If he be wise,
he will never fall so low as to be found
arraying race against race, thus opening
a gulf of fiery hate that this generation
would be unable to bridge. Such con-
duct would stamp the man as a wicked
intermeddler, yea, an outlaw Of the bas-
est character
For detailed statement of his ad-
dress, we refer the reader to q contribu-
ton in another column from an intelIi-
gent observer"

views of DR.. Biggs, and producing fresh
argument to sustain them; also adding
some remarks on the Dog Law, after

illegally issued, should be repudiated by
the next Legislature, and a compromise
be effected with the holders of the other
State bonds; and that our delegates be

CONVENTION.
District No, I.
Election Of Delegates.

GRAND JUNCTION, TENN =, July q, 1876
MesSrS. Editors:
Quite a respectable number of the
citizens of District No. met at Stone
wall House, in this place on Friday, the
18th inst, for the purpose of selecting
delegates to attend the County Coaven-
ton on the 5th of August next On
motion, Ii. J. Patterson vas elected
Chairman and R. 0. Prewitt, Secretary
Mr.. Patterson, after stating tina object
of the meeting and making a few we'll
timed remarks. declared the house open
for business. On motion it was decided
that in order to have as full and true
representation as possible Of the views
Of the people of the District, that fifteen
delegates be appointed, AMI the follow
ing gentlemen were selected:
E. Love, Il. }. Patterson, Col. NJ. NJ.
Thurmond, Col o. b. Jordan, DR.. K.
NJ. BostwIck, John Southan, K. -
Prewitt, Albert SCinson, Robert McClel-
Ian, John Lowe, H. Is. Wright, w.
F. Prewitt, Mute Smart, w. d. Gather,
and f. l. Pledge.
There was much discussion in re-
gard to instructing the delegates as to
the Dog Law, No Fence Law and
Lower Rate of Interest. The interest
manifested on the uFject was such as
to show the necessity of having a full
delegation from all parts of the county
at the ensuing August Convention, in
order to select candidate who will be
able to meet the views of all classes Of
the people. The Convention not bein z
able to agree upon any definite instruc-
ton, finally pa ssed the following resOlu-
ton: Resolved, That we have conf
dence in the delegates selected to rep
resent US in the Convention at Bolivar
on the 5th of next August, and that we
hereby enjOin upon them the necessity
of selecting such a candidate as will
best represent the true interests of all
classes of the people residing in Harde-
man county. On motion a District Ex-
ecutive Committee was appointed for the
next two years. Mr.. II. J. Patterson
John Lowe and II. B. Wright were
appointed as Committee, with power to
elect their own Chairman. The meet
ing then adjourned.
The Bell county portion of Fayette
refuses to hold an election for county
ofhces-more sanguine than the Harde-
man portion. We are still talking of
that grand mass meeting and barbecue;
trust it will be put through. Such
meetings are necessary to get the people
thoroughly awakened to the Importance
of the election in November. Y.

Gen. John A. Dix, the generalisscmo Of
the federal army organization, has issued
orders for an imposing rallying encamp-
ment next month at indianapolis. He
tells the soldiers and sailors of Grant

sert at the polls what their Valnr won in
the field and on the sea-and he
said that democracy is rebel
lion in disguise. In the face of
such an infammatory apPeal, let the patri

in purpose to meet and resist with demo-
cratic ballots the horde of corruption

Views of Col Lamar.

Col Lamar of Mississippi, being asked
his opinion of the nominations, said:
81 think the nominations are such as
Webster would pronounce 'eminently fit
to be made In point of reputation, the
ticket is one of unusual excellence. Eve
~ section of the party can unite in its
support, for the points of agreement and
co operation which it presents are much
more important than the points of dis
agreement. In Gov. Tilden it gives to the
Democratic party bold, able and saga
ciOus leader, and offers to the American
people the opportunity to realize in the
Government the reform which they SO
earnestly desire. Gov. Hendricks is a
man who has performed every trust re-
posed in him with ability and fidelity.

Why does he not act as Gov. Brown Of
this State acted when a similar disturb
ance took place during his administra-
tIon2 No, this does not suit him and his
party managers at Washing ton. They
must make political CAP ital out of this un-
fortunate affair. They must have fuel
to feed the fire, that the Hayes engine of
radicahsm may move on to victory in No

There is no need of federal interference.

Hampton, representing the white worth
of South Carolina, has offered his servi
ces to capture the murderers. This is
not what the Republicans ask. They pro-
pose using the occasion to flourish the
bloody shirt high in the mid air, that
the negro race may be aroused to sus
tain them with renewed zeal.
