Col. Bailey's Speech.

On Thursday Col. J. E. Bailey, OF
Clarksville, addressed the citizens of
our county at the Court House, on ma =
tional questions.
The speech as whole was very able,
aud places Col. Bailey among the fore
most and aDlest of our statesmen. His
presentation Of the tariff was the clear
est and most forcible discussion Of that
question to which we have listened for
many years. A large portion of the
speech was devoted to this question,
and not few of those who heard it,
express themselves as being more en-
iightened by that speech on that ques-
ton, than by all the speeches on the
subject they ever heard.
The Colonel discussed several other
questions of national politics, all of
which were dealt with in a clear, logi-
cal and dignified manner, and much
to the satisfaction of the intelligent
audience. Col. Bailey has list of APP
pointments in West Tennessee, where
he will be heard and appreciated by
our people.
The name of Col. ]. X. Bailey has
been very prominently mentioned in
connection with the United States
Senatorship. He is making many per-
sonal and political friends in Tennes-
see, by the decided ability with which
he discusses the great questions of the
day. We candidly think there is good
senatorial timber in Col. Bailey

history Of Dickson County.

A correspondent to the Nashville
Banner from Cragie Hope, furnishes
the following interesting items OF the
history of Dickson county, Tenn:
1t may be interesting to some of
your numerous readers, to read a short
sketch of Dickson county. The first
man who settled in the county was
named Peacock. He came from North
Carolina in 1898. Among the names
of the first settlers, we find b. Joslin,
Frank Ellis, Marble Stone, John
Reed and Sterling Brewer The first
settlers subsisted principally on the
flesh of the deer and wild turkey
which was very numerous. The first
Register was James Walker. His
writing is excellent. All deeds were
proven before Andrew jackson. One
of the Judges of the Superior Court
of Law and Equity for the State of
Tennessee.
In 1880 the Court House was de-
stroyed by hurricane, which swept
over the country, destroying much
property. In 1884 the new Court
House was completed.
The county was formed from terri
tory taken from Robertson and Mont
gomery counties.
The first land grant was from North
Carolina 20 Robert Bell, described as
lying on Jones Greek, In Robertson
county.
This county is situated between the
central Basin and the Tennessee Val
ley, therefore it is mostly barren, new
ertLeless along Jones and Barton's
creek may be found as good land as is
in the State. 1t contains 470 square
miles.

Col. James L. Bailey.

This distinguished gentleman ad-
dressed our citizens at the Court
house on Friday last. Col. Bailey's
reputation as profound jurst, ripe
scholar and enlightened statesman had
preceded him, aud our citizens ex-
pected to hear something decidedly
above the average, but we do not think
that they were prepared for the ear
nest, logical and eloquent effort that
he made. He reminded his hearers
of the good old days of Aaron V.
Brown and Jas. X. Polk. He occu-
pied an elevated plain throughout his
discussion of State and Federal poll
tics, without once lowering himself to
the level Of the demagOgue. The
ideas that he advanced upon govern
mental affairs stamped him as keen
observer of the current affairs of the
day and a statesman with the ability
to grasp and direct them for the good
of the people and the glory of our in
stitutions.-Dresden Democrat.

publican party Is in full accord with
| Grautlsm he has never by word or
deed expressed the slightest sympathy
with the ref0rmatory movement, or
uttered word of dissent at a single
act or utterance of the President, even
that menace against the liberty of the
country. the recent order Of his War
Secretary to the General Of the Army,
to hold all the available force under
bis command in terror over an entire
people, has not provoked him as his
friends to the utterance of a word of
dissent.
If Hayes should be elected he will
no more be President of the United
States than is the sickly boy, who
sleeps IN the Imperial Palace at Pc
kin, Emperor of China; and although
Roscoe Conkling, the Republican
Achilles sulks in his tent, he will with
Chandler, Babcock and Bob Ingersoll,
aud leaders of that type control his
administration as they have that of
Gen, Grant. If the government is to
be administered on sound principles,
there must be change. The Demo,
cratic party has demonstrated its fit
ness to govern. The Southern States
now under its control are administered
upon q high plane of craftsmanship.
These States are free from fraud or
violence. or strife between the races.
In Louisiana and South Carolina
where the Republican party is in pow
er, where every officer, Federal and
State, is Republican, there is no pro-
lection to life or property. Fraud,
falsehood and bare-faced corruption is
the rule and domestic tranquility is
unknowu, and the natural result is
hate. bloodshed and political disorder
and financial ruin.
The election of Hayes means the re-
construction OF FIVE OF the States of the
South. Senator Boutwell, In careful
address to the recent Republican Con-
venticn of Massachusetts said, Texas, |
Arkansas. Mississippi, Alabama and |
Georgia have been taken by the Dem |
0crats by fraud and force, and by fraud |
and force they are now held. What I
is the meaning OF this? That the South /
ern question is to be reopened, that
FIVE peaceful and stable State govern
ments, founded upon the consent Of
the governed are to be oyerthrown,
and the whole country placed in a con-
dition of alarm and distress at a time
when its PROSTATE industries and i'm
poyerished people are baggars for the
healing influence of peace.
The Governor made mere mention |
of Squire Yardley and Gen. Nancy, |
and reiterated briefly the charges made |
against, and unanswered by, Thomas. |

The New Corn Crop.

The reports that reach us of the corn
crop throughout the country are highly
favorable. The yield promises to be
considerably larger than for several
years past, and in most States the
quality is much better than usual. In
illinois. Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas the crop has matured well and
l. somewhat above the average. In
this State and also in Tennessee and
Arkansas, the crop is remarkably fine,
while its abundance has been seldom
surpassed. We note a deficiency in
Michigan and Minnesota, where, how
ever. the quality of the crop is repre-
sented to be excellent, thus compen-
sating for the lack Of yield. From
Ohio and Indiana the most favorable
reports are received, showing both an
extraordinary yield and a superior quail
ity of corn. These facts will, of course,
exert a marked influence upon the fu-
ture prices of pork. An abundant
corn crop, of good quality, necessarily
tends to reduce the price of hogs

Congressional Convention.

A very urgent and pressing effort has been
made by certain members Of tie Executive
Committee Of this district to hurry on the
Congressional Convention, aud have it in the
mouth Of June. Il is Difficult. to see what le-
gitimate purpose could be attained by this has
~ action. Six months must elapse before the
Congressional election viii take place. Two
months or more will probably pass over before
TIE present session of Congress is brought to E
close; aud yet this unprecedented movement
is urged before any opportunity IS Afforded the
people Of Judging Of the conduct Of their repre-
sentative even for the FIRST session Of his term
Of service. This scheme Of premature con-
yention was soGght to be carried into effect in
the Third Congressional district and for rea-
sons there certainly very obvious. But the
wishes Of Walker and Keuna were there over
ruled BY the decided stand taken By The Exec
utive Committee Of that district. With US the
Executive Committee would have carried this
movement iuto effect, if it had not been frus-
tratej aud defeated by the firm and determined
negative Of William L. Wilson, member Of
that committee. In partial execution Of this
Predetermined policy, Taylor, Barbour, Miner
al aud Marion have appointed their Congress
sioaal delegates, whilst Randolph, Hampshire,
and every other county which has YET held
meetings, have cotfned their action to the ap-
pJu;ment Of delegates to the State Cjnven-
ton, and have refused in any form to counte-
nance this premature congressional movement.
We think the people generally understand the
objects and purposes sought to be accomplished
by this early action, and viii feel it their duty
to adhere to the old customs and traditions Of
the party 10 which alone there can be found
union, harmony and strength. With the ex-
ccp,iou Of Mineral, which IS said &c have ap-
pointed its congressional delegates without any
notice whatever Of any such purpose in the
published call, every other county East Of the
mountains has expressly restricted its pro-
posed meeting to the appointment Of delegates
to the State Convention. Why Mineral should
have departed from all old established demo-
cratic usages, aud appointed her congressional
delegates under a call exclusively confined to
the selection Of delegates to the State Conven-
ton, may be a matter worthy Of some oxpla-
nation.
