Knoxville Tribune: A good many per-
sons seem to regard the position of State
elector IS but stepping stone to the
United States senate. So far from this
being the case, the experience of politi. |
clans In Tennessee proves quite the re-
verse. Since 1874, we believe there have
been but three gentlemen elected from |
this State 10 the United States senate |
ghO had previously served as electors /
for the State at large. These were John
Bell, James G. Jones and A. o. P. Mich
olson. SO the luck of the electorship is
decidedly against the senatorship.

WILLO HAYWOOD.

This gentleman Is candidate Tor
60ster in the district composed Of Hay
wood, Hardeman and Madison. He
belongs to the honored family from
which Haywood county takes its name,
a family which lie historic in North
Carolina, q member having long been
United States senator. Mr.. Haywood
is editor Of the Brownsville Democrat,
and if zeal and unwsveryipg party
fidelity was worth anything, Mr.. Hay.
wood would secure any position to
which he might aspire. But he will
find by the experiment he is now
making that the Democratic party is
hard and heartless owner and poor
psymaster. A slave-oWner is at least
bound to feed and clothe its bondsmen.
But the Democracy expects ifs chattles
to feed themselves, live on air and
glory, and work themselves to death,
and even supply their own implements
aud tools for the work. Like most
other things of value, well equip
ped press is a property, and a cost
lY property; a luxury that only a wealthy
proprietor can indulge in, and only be
prof ably owned by combination Of
cash and brains. Whenever political
canvass opens the ignorant public spec
ulate as to the harvest the press will
reap. What a delusion! As evidence
Of this we would refer to the fact that
in the last canvass, which terminated
in August, the APPEAL paid out one
thousand dollars to compositors for put
ting in type matter defending the NOM
inees and advocating their election, and
lawyer would have charged five thou
sand dollars for the writing and labor
which the editors bestowed on the can
didaUes; and for all this the APPEAL re-
ceived thirty dollars from the candidates
for announcing their namesI while q
paper that opposed the ticket received
the same amount, and receives a pro-
p)rtionate share OF advertising from
officials, who act upon the mean
p inciple OF sacrificing friends to
COucllldl6 eu6ul6e. IU6 WOuu0E is IQal
any newspaper is true to party, in view
OF the buffeting and ingraitude which
is manifested in each successive cleo
ton. Mr.. Haywood has fought for his
party with a faith that never tagged.
Without change or shadow Of turning
he has been tue to his party. He has
made personal enemies in his loyalty to
party nominees, but he will find before
the ides of November, unless the district
be proposes to represent is an exception
to the rule, that the party he has defend
ed and the men whose smirched names
he has whitswsshed will requIte his
services with the bsssst ingrstitude.
The APPEAL supports the Democratic
party because it believes its principles
are right and will subserve the great in
terests of the people, and it only regrets
that these principles cannot be made
triumphant and administered without
the interposition OF official ingrates.

suit in no good. Toe Republicans are

inent Democrats. Unwilling 10 be In.
=trumental In any way In contributing
to q want Of harmonious action, and
IesrIng that continued effort in this
dis trict will produce discord. hereby
withdraw iIOm the race, declining 10 let
my name be used as an aspirsnt for con-
gress, assuring my frieD0s aid those
that have seen proper to differ with me,
that my heart beats ia unison with the
great principles OF Democracy, and that
! am willing and shall render effective,
and, II necessary, active aid in support
of it's entire ticket. Ny declination
leaves in the field my distinguished OPP
ponent, General J. d. G. Atkins, and II
be be the nominee at Jackson VII give
him q cordial support, d do all In my
power to promote his election.
This is the right spirit for securing
harmony. Colonel TAylor's utterapces
are bold and manly. They show that
he is worthy OF the position he sought
and the high place which he occupies
in the confidence and esteem OF his fell
low-citizens. The APPEAL favored the
nomination Of General Atkins; but
such q man as John NJ. Taylor cannot
long remain In retirscy. He has only
to wait, and he will not have long to
wait, for in the hour Of peril to his party
he arose above personal ambition for
the sake Of hsrmonizing his party. We
hope his example will be initiated
throughout the State. In this moment
GUS struggle the Democracy is fighting
for reform-fer the vital principles in
volving the destiny Of the nation-and
we must harmonic and rally to the
chosen leaders bearing the colors of the
party. We cannot afford to lose in this
contest, We must end our chickering's
and internal dissensions and meet the
enemy in solid column. II we do this,
success is certain.

TIE New York Herald does I

THE New York Herald does not ex-
cuse violence. Nothing excuses murder
or Iawlessness. "But," it says, "these
crimes which happen in the south, and
Of which, just now, the President and
the Republican organs aud politicians
give such horrifyipg accounts, are not
without cause. They are the results Of
a long course Of abuse, begun and con-
tinued by inscriptions and selfish
northern adventures, who have, with
the help OF the Federal government,
preyed upon southern society, and who
have not even had the courage and
energy to punish those crimes Of which
their conduit has been the main cause.

A T THE CELEBRATED ROCKBRIDGE
n ALUM SPRINGS.-Ow1ng to the depressed
condition of the country, the proprietor has
determined to lower his charges, that all may
be able to derive the benefits from the use OF
these justly celebrated waters. They need no
recommendation, since they have SO fully es-
tabltshed their g Eciency through the thou
sands who have been brought from deaths
door to renewed health by the use of their
wonderful medicinal waters. Since last sum-
mer the Chalybeate Spring, which was opened
last year, has been thoroughly analysed by
Professor NJ. b. Harden, OF the V. NJ. l., OF
Virginia, and by com parisOn shows it to be
fully as strong as +" RaWley" OF carbonate OF
iron, having a small quantity more than one
and small quantity less than the other two
springs. So in addition to the water that has
made these springs so famous, the proprietor
takes pleasure in announcing that he can fur
nish those who may need to drink either sep
arately or in connection with the more cele-
brated waters of these springs a pure carbon
ate of iron (chalybeate) water, inferior to
none, and equsled only by Rawley, in this
State. This at the very cheap rates, with &C.
conmodation fully up to any previous year.

DIX AS A sECEssIONIsT.
UnfAn and Advertiser.I

Rochester Untan and Advertiser.l
John A. Dix has by several utter
ances since the Presidential canvass
opened, aud by appesringat the head of
a call upon soldiers of the late war to or
ganize as "Boys in Blue" and follow
him for Hayes and Wheeler, made him
self a representative man of the admin
istration party. The r publican papers
delight in parading what john A. Dix
ssys. I1deed, the Rochester Democrat
is so delighted with John A Dix that it
prints and reprints letter from him to
one William E. Webster, Of Auburn,
touching "the position occupied by
Samuel J. Tilden" at the beginning Of
the war. Mr.. Webster, says this DeDlO-
cTat, received the reply published by
US yesterday, and which we republish
to-day. 1t is conclusive in the premises,
and no good citizen is likely to question
either the yeracity or means OF informa-
ton of General Dix" We have already
shown how this same Rochester Demo
crdt has denounced this same John A.
Dix as a man who, at the close of the
wsr, got up and in blncombe speech
struck the colors of the Union to unre-
pentant traitors.n We now propose to
show that on the eve Of the war, at the
very time John a. Dix pretends to ques-
ton the position occupied by Samuel ].
Tilden, he, himself, John A. Dix, was 3
blatant secessiO1ist and the author Of
the address put forth from the Pine
street meeting in favor Of q dissolution
of the U0ion as az alternative preferable
to wal! Oar evidence is from the col
umns OF that leading H 4yes aud Wheel
er organ, the New YORK iTi6Ins, and is
a m after OF record in the columns OF all /
the journals of the day.
ANOTHER WORD TO GENERAL JOHN A.
DIX,
New York Tribune.l
John A. Dix wrote public letter to a
private correspond mt to explain why he
could not support Mr.. Greeley; and one
Of the reasons he assigned was the fol-
lowing:
because in the darkest hour of the
countTy's peril, when traitorous COM
bination had been formed to overthrow
the government, he openly cOunseled
tie cowardly policy of nOn.resistsnce
and an acquiescence in the dissolution
of the Union whenever the cotton |
States should make up their mind to |
CO."
We have shown that General Dix him. |
self publicly avowed, on the eve Of the |
war, the very same sentiments with |
which he now accuses Mr.. Greeley, and |
that 30 late as 1864 he publicly aeknOwl-
edged having held them. The generals
defendants are exasperatiDgly thick
headed when anybody speaks of this
affair, and some roaring idiot IN the
office Of the Evening Post persists in &C.
cueing us every evening of constructive
forgery" because, in quoting this ac-
acknowledgement, we do not also quote

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-In the
winter Of 1874 and the spring Of 1875
several cabinet ministers and their fam
lilies and the Presidents family had re-
ceived ANONYMOUS letters which excited
a great deal of curiosity on the part of
those receiving them. 1t was some time
before the different ones bee me aware
that any other than their own families
had received these attentions, but ref
erence to the matter by one soon brought
out the fact that the Others hat also
received these letters. At length for
NAL investigation was set on foot by
some members OF the cabinet, the solic-
itor of the treasury, General BAbcock
and General Porter, and it was the notes
of this investigation and some letters
and reports concerning 1t to which Cen
ersl Grants attention WAS called as doc
uments contained among Solicitor Will
sons private papers, which he (Wilson)
thought the President would not care to
have looked over by officers Of the treas
ury department who were not aware of
their character, and it was on this &C.
count that Wilson requested the Presi-
dent to send his son to look through the
papers with Wilson. The prominence

which he had lately received, charging

connections with the French arms sales,

should find a man in the secret service

description of the man led to the arrest of

living og Carpenter street who has been fully
identified by the child.
