It's often the case that when
humber Of houses are being built,
a great many idle and fnquisisive /
persons viii come aronnd and find .
fault with the buildings; they viii
say one house is too small, another
Is TOO large, the rooms are too small .
or too large. the windows are too
low, or TOO high, or too narrow. the +
doors or the windows are not in the +
right place, or this roof Is too fat, /
and that roofs too steep, this house
Is too close to the street. and that
house Is too far away. one house Is
too close 10 the ground. another
IS too high from the ground. In
another house, the ceiling Is too
high or too low, DC; thus they viii
hDd more than a hundred faults.
some Ofthe worksnen will tell them
not to be so hasty in their ,oncIu
sions the houses are not finished yet,
wait until the houses are ali done,
wait until the last finish IS put on,
wait until the architect says they are
all complete-aH f-ished, aud then
come and see if you can find any
faults ia them.
So it is with professors Of Chris
tianity. InfdeIs and many 9th
er fault finding persons viii say
neighbOr A Is a church member,
and he is no better than am;
neighbor B. goes to meeting on sun
day, and cheats his ncighbors dur
ing the week; neighbor c. makes a
loud profession at church but he
is just as greedy after money as
am; neighbor d. processes to be
seeking q city out Of sight, but he
has his mind taken up with the
things Of this world, just as much
as those that make no profession:
neighbor Z. makes a great many
crooked paths during the week,
and goes to church on Sunday, and
repenrs, and promises to do better,
and the next week does the same
thing over again. Thus they
will ind more than hundred faults
with protesting christians, land a
great many Of them, alas, are too
true. } and then they viii palm them
of upon christianity, not consider
ing the temptations, and peculiar
trials, and besetments of those who
are aiming to live a better life.
Now say to infidels, and all such
fa-u,,s finding persons, that this life
is a state Of trial, a state of proba-
ton; we are all forming or building
characters for another state of ex-
istenee. Wait until the characters
/ Of christians are all finished; wait
until Christ, the great architect, has
put on the last finishing touch,
wait until He has assumed them all,
and has pronounced them all per
feet, and then come and see If you
can find any fault in them.

following resolutions were passed in
honor OF Brother jos. A. Browning.
Whereas, il has pleased an Ali Wise

state Conventions.

The Democratic State Ex. Com.
met in Nashville last Thursday, and
after aleLghty interchange of opin-
ion, the following resolutions were
adopted:
BY Mr. f. T. Taliaferro-
Resolved, that the Chairman of
the Executive Committee be authO-
rized and instructed to call a con
yentiOn TO meet at Nashville, Tenn,
on the 3Ist day of May, 1876, TO ap-
point delegates TO the National
Democratic Convention 20 meet at
st. Louis on the 9th June. Also,
that the Chairman be hereby in
structed and authorised TO call a
convention to meet at Nashville on
the 9Th day Of August, 1876, to nom
mate 4 Governor and electors for
President
BY Col D. N. Wisdom
Resolved, that the Democracy Of
the several counties of the State be
requested TO meet in convention on
the first Monday in May, for the
purpose of appointing delegates to
the May cOnvent ton, and that they
be further requested to meet in con
vention on the first Monday in Ju-
Is to appoint delegates TO the August
cOnvenIOn.
It will be seen that two conven
tions are to be held, the one to nom
mate a candidate for governor and
electors to be deferred until after the
StLouis convention. This Is, in our
opinion,a wise measure for obvious
reasons We hope our people viii
be prepared TO meetin primary con
venuons at the times indicated.
Tennessee must present an unbroken
front in the coming national contest;
and in the matter Of electing a gov
ernor, it is of the grayest importance
that we select a good man and one
who is able and willing to meet
squarely the great issues in which
We are involved and which call for
the coolest judgment and calcula-
ting wisdom in their solution.

It Is well known fact that the great
mass OF our people are compelled 10 re-
ly, for their knowledge OF tile history OF
their country, upen the outline works
intended for the use Of schools, which
by their very nature are brief: designed
for the comprehension Of children, and
in every way unsuited 10 the adult mind.
There has long been felt genuine want

true theory and the only way to re
sumption is to make greenbaeks s
legal tender for every purpose and
make trade free This would at
once bring gold to par, and green
back being a legal tender for all
dues 10 the government, exchange
could be purchased in New York
with which to pay interest on our
debt abroad and 10 pay every other
foreign obligation brought against
US in consequence OF the iniquitOus
tariff and duty laws that disgrace
our statute books. These laws
have driven home enterprises to the
dogs and have given other nations
a competitive advantage over US 50
that the balance OF trade against US
last year reached the enormous sum
of $225, OOO, 900. England with her
free trade system IS the greatest
manufacturing country in the world,
and her ships to-day number more
than half Of all that sail upon the
waters of the world. If the govern
ment would make greenbacks
legal tender, make trade free and
abolish the diabolical system Of
( protective tariff, trade would be
stimulated, confidence restored be-
cause greenbacks would be at par
with gold, not a cent of gold
would it be necessary to ship across
the Atlantic, and in a few years the
country would wake up and find
resumption an establish d fact OF
itself There are other things that
/ should be remedied, bat this Is the
main demand Of the hour A
change of policy by the administra
tion towards the people Of the
South would tend far to restore
confidence, and a general policy Of
encouragement towards the indus
tries Of the country would awaken
the people and put them to work.
Reforms in official places are also
I highly necessary. 1t is estimated
that the steaIage last year amounted
70 more than the aggregate net
earnings of ali the people Of the
country. This is being corrected,
but cannot be entirely cured. We
+ do hope TO see the democracy uni
ted upon these questions, and we
believe that the above ideas will
meet with the approval Of thinking
men. But we cannot hope to see
them adopted until the people learn
70 think more for themselves. This
question lies at the very foundation
of all our interests, and the people
should study it thoroughly
