Crook Ready to Advance With 1000 Men.
CHICAGO, Aug. 0.
Tic Trbune's special from the Big Horn
expedition on Goose creek, via Fort Fet-
terman, says Gen. Merritt with his force,
joined Gen. Crook Monday, and they are
now ready for aggressive action. This
united column has 1900 fighting men.
Under the new organization Merritt ranks
as officer of cavalry, and Col. Chambers as
commander of infantry. The entire col
umn, with pack train, will move at once
toward Tongue river with its 300 pack
mules, 10000 rounds of ammunition, &c.
600 raticns, and no forage. This is the
lghtcst marching condition. The men and
horses are in the finest possible trim.
Scouting parties have discovered a large
fresh trail of Sioux leading towards the
Lower Tongue and Powder rivers. 1t is
believed the savages are in need Of victuals,
as picked carcasses of dogs are found
around their camps. They have fired the
prairies to ruin the pasture and render the
cavalry useless. G, n. Terry has not been
heard from for month. He is believed to
have nearly 1000 men. Crook made
speech to his men yesterday, representing
the necessity of each doing his best

THE RATIFICATION.

Monday was a busy day and night in
GAINESVILLE; the County Convention
(whose proceedings are given in an
other column and the great Ratifca
ton meeting taking place on the same
day left the people but little leisure
for any other occupation. The morn
ing was ushered in with ID guns fired
near the College campus, reminding
many of the way in which election cam
paigns were inaugurated before the
war and some again of more stirring
events which have occurred among us
when the boom Of the cannon was fol-
lowed by the rushing sound of its mis-
sile through the air and then the dread
explosion carried havoc to life and limb.
However this may have been, Clarks-
vile was instantly on the qUj UiUe;
some betook themselves to the store in
Hillman's block where transparancies
were in preparation, some, tOOyoung to
have recOllections of actual war, inspec-
ting with wondering interest the pre-
parations of the artillery men, some
again building light wood and tar bar
rels into artistic piles for the nights
illumination, and some again watching
the construction of the speakers stand
in eager anticipation of the eloquence
which was to the be browning glory of
the night.
From I'm. to 3 p. m the convention
occupied many of us in graver matters,
not without their own excitement but
from the latter hour till midnight none
had any thought for anything but the
ratification.
At p. m. the signal was given by
rockets aud bombs to form ranks for
the procession which was done on the
Public Square, under the able direction
of Capt. Gracey and his assistant mar
shalls, and as the cOrtege gradually
unwound its serried ranks and deiled
through the streets vivid line OF light
was seen to extend itself as the coils
of a.vast fiery serpent enveloping the
town.
It seemed IS if half Clarksvile had
turned out for the purpose of lighting
the other half to the site of the speak
ing platform on College street.
Some of the transparencies were
quite artistic in their execution, espec-
tally one contributed BY Mr.. Ladd, the
artist at MoCormacs gallery; this con-
tanned on one side an excellent por-
trait of Gov. TILDEN, aud on its other
three sides fdcetios designed by the face

THE END OF BRISTOW AND BRIS.
TOWISM.


In our article of this week on the
platforms, we noticed how little of re-
form was to be expected from the ad-
ministration party which is RESPONSE
bic for the nomination of Gov Hayes.
Read the following, clipped from the
Philadelphia Times, for confirmation
thereof. Hayes may not like it, but
he can't cut loose from it:
at required little wisdom and no
foresight to be able to say week ago
that President Grant intended to wipe
out all traces of Bristowism in his ad-
ministration and bring things back to
the condition in which they were be-
fore the tide of reform set IN. Secre
tary BristOw and Solicitor Wilson are
gone Yaryan, the most successful
whisky detective in the service has
been thrown off; Commissioner Pratt
has been discharged Special Agent
Clark, who distinguished himself In
exposing whisky frauds on the Pacific
coast, has been summary dropped
the commission of Meyer, the efficient
revenue officer at st. Louis, has been
withheld Samuel Brown, a special
sgent of the Post Office Department,
from Kentucky, an intimate friend and
supporter of Bristow, has been re-
moved, and the air is full Of rumors
of still more decapitations in the ranks
of BristoW's followers. There is but
one way to account for this systematic
and relentless war upon faithful gov
eminent officers. 1t means that those
who have prosecuted the Presidents
friends shall feel the heavy hand of
his revenge. Only in the single case
of Yaryan has there been a show of
excuse for these dismissals, and in that
case the excuse lasted but a day and
was utterly demolished by the very
evidence upon which it was pretended
to be based. Governor Hayes is put
in a peculiarly unpleasant position by
the present course Of Grant If the
Republican candidate is known to be
partial to what is known as Grantism
nay, if he do not make it very evil
dent thrt he is radically opposed to it
he will fight a losing battle from
the first. The Governor has q splen-
did opportunity to defeat himself by
his letter of acceptance"

FROM ERIN.


EDITOR CHRONICLE We are in re-
eeipt of your paper of this date contain
ing in full the proceeding of our con-
vention. Some of us are very proud
of seeing our names in. print, and the
resolutions read a great deal better
since they were printed. We are rath-
er green at getting up platforms and
holding conventions in our little coun-
ty, but we really think the thing was
not done so badly afterall On the glori-
GUS 4th, (centenniaD we had a grand
picnic under the bluff for the benefit of
the Sunday school children, and all
the balance of the world who never
expect to see another centennial.
Just think of it? We had a splendid
brass band from Guthrie, and some of
the richest speaking from Tom Duncan
(orator diei) w. G. Mcmillan, Rev.
Jno. Reynold. and last but not least,
III. III. Buquo. Esq, and some of the
sweetest singing by the Arlington and
Erin Sunday schools. After which
dinner was served q Ia fourchette in
regular picnic style, and we did not
hear of anybody going away hungry or
dissatisfied. And to cap the climax
we had regular United States flag
floating over the speakers stand. There
was not much politics in the speaking
but the flag reminded us ofTilden and
Hendricks Everything went offwell,
and our only regret is that after all of
our best efforts to make the thing
grand success, the next centennial is
almost sure to beat it with the i'm
proved ideas of government of men
and things that they will be sure to
have.
Yours truly,

But the personal qualifications and
positions Of candidates a. affecting
this question furnish contrast more
significant even than the platforms.
Let us first consider Gov. Hayes.
The best which has been said ofhim is
that We know nothing against him
but then we know nothing about him.
What we are to expect from him can
only be derived from noting his asso-
ciates and the history of his nomina-
ton.
While in congress he was simply
known as party hack who voted reg
ularly with those who have been taking
the lead in public corruption-his
nomination was brought about by
determined opposition to Blaine be-
cause he was too strong to be placed
in leading strings, and:to Bristow who
had given mortal offence by resisting
peculation end unmasking guilt in his
own department; his nominators, those
who fought his way to the nomination
at least, were Morton and Conkling, the
typical representatives of the admin
istration ring-these selected him be-
cause he seemed likely to be more plant
in theirhands than Blaine, less squeam-
ish than Bristow; he is himselfa mere
negation, what he would be as an ex-
ecutive officer is inferred from what
We know of his political creators.
Mr.. Hayes represents the admins
tration rings therefore and will doubt
less be puppet in their hands.
How different the significance of
Mr.. Tilden's nomination. 1t has been
said the name of Tilden is platform
in itself: he is not only of unimpeacha-
bic character himself. he has shown
himself the memorable antagonist of
cOrruptionin his own person. As COVER
nor of New York he showed himself
prompt and competent to grapple with
itand strange it when organized with
a strength and devlish subtlety which
led the boldest and most hopeful to
despair saving only he.
Nor can he be accused of taking up
reform for party purposes, for it was
within the ranks of his own party that
he found the delinquents the most
guilty and, at the same time the most
powerful; and for the very reason that
they were in his own party he attacked
them the more fercely and trampled
them down the more sternly.
So that the battle cry which is
now resounding from Maine to Cali
fornia ofTILDEN AND REFORM is after
all pleonasm, for in the mouths of all
men who are eager for a healthy
change, Tilden and Reform mean one
and the same thing.

and upon the April sowings was based
the forlorn hope of crop, and / dare
say, it viii be many, very many long
years before the planters in the West
viii indulge the vain delusion of pro-
ducinga crop from April sowings a
thing which is as unprecedented as the
failure (until this year, Of crop for
want Of plants.
As for the acreage planted the most
reliable information we can get is
about half, the bulk of which was
planted after the 18th Of June. The
plants small, tender, and but little
root, which died out to such an extent
that itis almost an impossibility to ar
rive at the quantity standing. But it
is settled fact that heavy percent
age of the one-half planted is dead,
and the question now to debate is
whether we can house what is now
standing2 We shall have to have
very favorable fall to enable us to top
it at more than six and eight leaves,
which topping settles the question to
about half yield, compared to the
ordinary topping, which is ten to twelve
leaves.
1t is high time the West was not
only heard, but believed. In 1874 the
Western reports were ignored, sneered
and ridiculed, but truth, like murder,
will out. tits not expected that the
Western reports will be believed by
those whose interests clash with the
true situation, but we think these
average crop lotteries will soon be
silenced if the works are not carried.
Yours truly,
OBSERVER.

NEW ORLEANS.
NASHVILLE.
CLARKSVILLE.

You will find by comparison that the
New Orleans quotations are below both
the Nashville and GAINESVILLE quota
tions. And in the face of all this
they express themselves as being con-
fident of revival of receipts this
month, which is to say the least of it,
placing a very low estimate on the
judgment and sense of the Western
dealer, to think they would continue
to ship to a market so much below our
own. Another very weak point in this
New Orleans circular is in the wind
up, they say they expect a full average
planting. 1t would be rather deli
cate, as we'll as somewhat personal
matter, for me to say why they can't
see our inability to plant full av-
erage crop.
/ am glad to see in the Courier
Journal Of the 10th inst, that they
reluctantly acknowledge to three
fourths ofthe real situation, and would
say to those who still hold their tobac-
co, to hold on few weeks longer, and
the Courier j ournal will own up to the
remaining fourth, as she has very
large patronage from Western dealers
and planters. The prospects in the
heart Of the most productive tobacco
belt. which includes the upper Green
River. GAINESVILLE and Western Dis
trict. Is growing daily more gloomy.

NASHVILLE LETTER.

EDITORS CHRONICLE Il noticed
with pleasure in your issue of the 8th
inst, the independent caption of the
tobacco market and crop prospects.
| have also noticed in almost every
number of the Courier-J Journal for
some months past that it contains
some lavish article, prominently placed
under the head of Leaf Tobacco
Market, such as the celebrated
GAINESVILLE letter, giving the most fat
tering crop prospects. which promptly
and properly called together your To-
baoco Board of Trade, which took
action on it and demanded the name
Of the author. Then we saw about
the first Of July, the prominence of the
circular Of a we'll known buyer of the
Louisville market, in which the crop
is put down at an average one, which
no sane man with ordinary opportuni-
ty to ascertain the facts in regard to
the paintings and crop prospects could
do. We would like to know from
where. and from whom, this full aver
age crop planting and prospects came.
His opportunities must bevery limited
indeed, or he certainly would have in
cidently heard that the heart of the
tobacco growing district of Kentucky
and Tennessee had failed to plant more
than half crop, and that after the
goth of June.
Next appears "a New Orleans circular
occupying a prominent place under
the same heading, which gives the New
Orleans market quotations of the
different grades, which l give below !;
also Nashville and GAINESVILLE quota
tions

The basis of representation recon-
mended by the committee was the same
as that hitherto acted upon, viz: One
delegate allowed for every 30 Demo-
cratic votes given in the last Guber-
material election. On this basis the
following table was reported and un-
animonsly adopted

Be Confldent. but not too Confldent.

A dangerous mistake is being made
by some excellent Democrats-when
called upon to take an active part in
the canvass for Tilden and Hendricks
theyfold their hands and say "Oh Ten
nesseeis safe, no trouble about her."
A serious mistake-the Radical snake
is scotched not killed in Tennessee,
and the enemy if few in numbers has
the cunning of the serpent. Look out
for Independent candidates, bogus con-
ventions, wolves in sleeps clothing,
radical emissaries calling themselves
Democrats.
Besides, a moderate majority for
Tilden will not ELL the bill; Tennessee
has to correct its record in reference
to Tilden, nothing less than a two
thirds majority will obliterate the action
of that Nashville convention at St.
Louis.
