The Huntsville Fair.

CITIZEN The Huntsville Fair
commenced on the 9th of Oct. and
closed on the 18th, after one of the
most successful weeks ever known
at fair ground in this country. A
large number of citizens from Mid
die Tennessee with fine stock Of all
kinds were in attendance, and so
friendly were the relations between
our people and the North Alabam-
ians, so much were we at home and
so great the hospitality of the peo-
pie of Huntsville-besides the mum
Der of premiums received and inter
est manifested by our people-that
it may indeed be called ''The Fair
of Middle Tennessee and North
Alabama" Among the visitors
from Giles were Capt. A. G. Irvine,
Capt. w. c. Flournoy, Messrs. Ora
ham, Capt. D. K. West and lady,
Capt. Jas. Alternately w. @. Lewis,
Esq, and w. Haynie Rose, Esq'r.
Messrs. Graham defeated all com
petition and took premiums on three
Of the handsOmest vehicles to be
found anywhere. Haynie Rose had
a fine stable of horses, Including
the magnificent bay stallion, Wood
ford, and carried off a full share of
premiums. Capt. A. took premi
ums on his hogs, and w. G. Lewis
received premiums every time he
exhibited his stallion, "Muggins;"
also on his fine bull, "Inan," as well
as on his turkeys, hogs and sheep.
The exhibition of stock was per
haps the finest that has been seen
at any fair grounds since the war.
The grounds are the most beautiful
and most conveniently arranged in
the country anywhere. The cour
tesy of the officers and people gen
orally is such as to make one forget
entirely that he is not at home
among his own friends and home
/ folks. I have never seen such
kindness and attention paid to
stran gers as was exhibited by Capt
/ G. J. Mastin, the President, A. F.
Murray, Treasurer, Col. Scruggs,
Dr. Erskine, Col. Holding and 9th
ers, all officers of the Association.
l have attended great many fairs
since the war, but can safely say
there is none within my knowledge
offering greater inducements in the
way of pleasure and general enjoy
ment, and the improvement of fine
stock, than.the Huntsville Fair. In
the future let the people of this sec
ton carry their fine stock, them
selves and their wives and children
to the Huntsville Fair, and 1 here
give you a guarantee that they will
return to their homes pleased and
profted. ALFRED.

The Presidents Predicament.

President Grants policy in re
gard to South Carolina has placed
the Republican party in a disagree
able predicament. The Democrat
ic committee of South Carolina wei
come the troops with open arms,
and declare that it is the intention
of all Democrats throughout the
State to submit, without reserve, to
the full letter of the Presidents
proclamation, and to all orders is
sued in conformity with it. The
rifle clubs are disbanding exactly
as the proclamation required, and
the large force of troops sent to
South Carolina will find on their
arrival no disorders to repress and
no field for operation, unless
against those who caused the recent
riots, the Republican negroes led
by carpet-bag politicians of unsa-
worry reputation like Sheriff Bowen,
who planned and conducted the
Cainhoy slaughter. We must say
that the address of the Democratic
South Carolina Committee seems
decisive of the proceedings which
the Administration has seen fit to
take regarding the South Carolina
election. If, as really appears to
be the case, the troops are sent tn
South Carolina without necessity.
and their advent will not carry out
even the partisan objects of their
journey, the Administration will
stand in the attitude of having
spent over 100000 from the pub
lie treasury without even the poor
excuse of having helped the RepGb-
lican party by doing it.

What are the prospects for Til
den? This is a question we meet
with every day We answer by Civ
ing a few facts. In 1864 Ohio
went republican by 54,771; in 1865,
by 1883; in 1872, by 14,150, in
Octr. 76, by 6,OOO-an told. In
1864 Indiana went republican by
20, 883; in 1865 by 961; in 1872,
Hendricks was elected by 1,14S, but
the other republicans were elected
by majorities averaging $50; in
Octr. 1876, the democratic MAORI
ty is 5,545. In West. Va. in 1864,
the Republican majority was l2,-
ia; in 1868 it was 4,717; in 1872 it
was 2,746, and in 1876, the demo
Gratis carry it by at least 10000.
Showing a steady gain for the past
II years, which gives assurance OF
success in November.

The CIinch and Tug.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican (IndePen-
Gent.)
The indecisive October result
means such a last month Of the
canvass as this country hasn't seen
but once or twice during its whole
political existence. 1t is the home
stretch that is to decide this year.
The election will not be over until
the men are actually elected. The
clinch and tug will now come over
the States, New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, with the advanta-
ges of position and present chances
aPpreciably in favor of the Demo
Gratis. All three of these States
have Democratic Governors one of
these Governors is the party candi-
date for the Presidency, and withal
as experienced and astute an organ
izer of victory as modern Ameri-
can politics has seen. With every
week now the probability of solid
South approXimates more closely to
certainty. Add to the Southern
electoral votes those Of the three
States New York, New Jersey and
Conneticut). with those Of the ex-
slave and border States which are
conceded to the Democracy, and
the total is 1SS-three more than
are needed to elect. This without
Indiana, without California, Neva-
da, or Oregon, all three States con-
coded to Tilden in the estimate put
forth some time ago by the Repub-
lican National Executive Commit
tee, and without Wisconsin, which
can hardly as yet be pronounced
safe Republican State. Mr.. Tilden
isn't elected yet. He has these elec-
toral votes yet to get. The very
danger may nerve and inspire the
Republicans to the supreme exer-
ton needed to defeat him; but they
will gain nothing by shutting their
eyes either to the realities or the
imminence of the danger.
