OUR NEW YORK LETTE R.

New York, Sept. 18th.
Messrs. Editors:
The nomination Of LuciHs Robinson
here puts the whole Democratic ticket
in thorough accord on the vital subject
of Adm illustrative Reform. The Demo
Gratis in this State will vote enthusiast
cally for the State tickets headed by
Seymour and Robinson, the eoadjutors of
Samuel j. Tilden in the great cause of
Reunion, Retrenchment and Reform.
HOW THE REPUBLICANS REGARD THE TICKET.
The Republicans criticise the Demo
cratic nominations with that bitterness
which grows out of disappointment
They have nothing to say against Robin
son, but talk about inconsistency, and
various other Of their own favc=ile quail
ties Mr. ThurIow Weed rushes into
print with an exhibition of spiteful and
garrulous venom against Robinson, which
is the best evidence of the strength of
the Democratic ticket. The venerable
Republican Nestor is as crafty as expe~
rienced, and there is no safer rule for
the Democracy than to do those things
of which he disapproves. Beyond doubt
Robinson's nomination is the strongest
that could now be made.
The contrast between his career and
that of Morgan is striking. Morgan
was always the friend of jObbers, and
as it now appears, the participant in
their jobs. As an official, he always was
the tool of the Radical rings, and init
mate with those who controlled them
HIS fortunes grew with the trials of the
nation, aHd his public career is marked
by no act of conspicuous patriotism, or
opposition to fraudulent combinatio rs.
On the contrary, Lucias Robinson has
been conspicuous for patriotic ardor
He served assiduously and with great
distinction throughout the war period,
made no unlawful or suspicious gains,
and did not improve his fortune by any
trading on the fortunes and periIs OF the

IN DEAD EARNEST.

The people are clearly started on the
road for Retrenchment and Re form IN
National and State affairs. Borne down
by debta taxation, they have retrench-
ed in private matters, and now move tc
cut loose from all extravaganee in public
concerns.
The next Legislature of Tennessee
will be filed with men determined to
apply the knife to many weak, sickly
points in the corporate body. There are
too many judicial Districts. The Judges
have comparatively too little to do for
the money they receive Secondly, one
third of their time only is consumed in
the legiti mate duties of their Office, and
tkey now get $4,000 for about three
months steady work, whereas other off
cials, not less worthy, have to work
from ten to twelve months for the same
or less pay. Enlarge the Districts and
give them more to do.
The criminal expenses of the State are
far more than they ought to bo Worth
less characters, for SEINE petty offence
of stealing TIRES or four dollars worth
of property, are often kept for months
in Jail, at a heavy expense, awaiting
trial. Some summary mode should
be adopted by which they could be pun
ished, and the County and Commonwealth
be saved burdensome charges. These
and other kindred subjects are to be
considered by the coming Legislature,
and Retrenehing Legislation be melted
out to them.
Moreover. the Penitentiary, which now
gives no profit to the State, is to be man
aged far differently, and be made to be
come source of real revenue. At this
time, ring is using this institution for
great gain. Other States have so man
aged this matter that large sums are
annually realized from their Peniten-
tiaries.
We are glad to sea the people III ac-
tive haste to bring matters to an econom-
icai crisis The air is filed with pro
j3eted changes, and the masses will sane
ton all measures looking to real and
positive improvement of our internal
affairs.
Old fogyism is fast dying, and adj
yaneed Conservators are determined to
place Tennessee in a better and more
hopeful condition. Let the ball move

EX-GOV HARRIS

The visit of this popular statesman to
Bolivar was an occasion Of real sati STAG
ton to the people. They enjoyed the
ringing accents of his patriotic voice,
end hung with interest upon his words
of warning and appeal. For eminent
public service and unsulled private
worth, he stands prominent among the
most gifted in the land His war record
is eminently Southern, and viii always
be cherished as part and parcel of the
sacredness of the Lost Cause.

PUT GOOD MEN IN OFFICE.

The people this year make one loud
demand of poll teal conventions, "nomi
nate good men-put good men in Office.
Whatever the division of opinion as to
the abstract principles of either party, all
agree in the belief that good primo piles
cannot be properly carried out by bad
men. The nomination of unexceptionabIe
candidates will be a strong reOommsn-
dation to either party, and one which
will be very likely to turn the scale
We cannot but express our gratifca-
ton at the nomination of men like
Adams, Hubbard and Robinson. All
are oIiticiaus whose careers are above
reproach. All are less distinguished by
devotion to clique or party than by con-
spicuOus public services in the dir ectiOn
of economy and efficiency in the public
service, and neither have ever been ao-
cused of infdelity to public trust. The
nomination of such men is a healthy
sign; and while many voters viii censid-
er measures before men, if measures pro-
posed are unobjectiOnsble and in accord
with the recent record of the party pro-
posing them, the suffrages of indepen-
dent voters will be given to the candi.
dates who are likely to prove the best
opponents of the principles of retrench-
ment and economy.

This distinguished gentleman has been
with US, and the people are more than
ever endeared to him. His frank, manly
speech at the Barbecue won for him a

H. w. Revels, ex-United States
Senator from Mississippi, fulI-blooded
eolored man, says: The bitterness and
hate created by the late civil strife, have,
in my opinion, been Obliterated in this
State, except, perhaps, i n some locali-
ties, and would have long since been
entirely efaced wers it not for some
unprincipled men who would keep alive
the bitterness of the past and who incu-
late hatred between the races, in order
that they may aggrandizs themselves by
Office and its emoluments. They con-
troll my people, the effect Of which is to
egrade them.

r PUBLIC INsTRUCrov.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. Is, 1876.
Mr.. W. A. Ross:
Dear Sir-Your card having been mis-
laid, has delayed answer until now. I
have simply to say that a ten hours
school term is an oppression to the pu-
pills, especially younger ones, which it is
agreed by ali modern educators will unfit
them for progress in their studies, and
will prove injurious to their health. In
our city schools, where the highest adj
varcement is attained, from five to six
hours in the maximum. A little longer
than this may be advisable in the coun-
try, where the pupils have few facilities
for attending to their studies at night.
Yours truly,
LEON TROUsDALE,
State Supt.

of recent reports is the overwhelming
evidence of the adhesion of a majority

country, whlls his whole public record
consists of eminent services to his
State, especially in the check ng of pub
lie extravaganza and corruption.
THE TINES
starts the State campaign with the mean
est of all its mean insinuations against
the head of the State ticket. Ii admits
that his public and private career are
above repreaeh, but, discovering that at
one time be was director of a corpora
ton in charge of great public trust, it
proposes to raise the Comm1nistic flag
against Lucius Robinson, whom, a short
time ago, it lauded as the purest Official
and most eminent citizen of New York.
The Tribune follows its usual course
under the orders of Jay Gould to fight
the Democrats all through. Men like
Gould, who trade spon the excitement of
the alternate hopes and fears of the com
munity, do not like te contemplate the
prospect of settled and tranquil state
of affairs, such as W uld surely result
from Democratic success. They are
agitators and live by agitation, and peace
and harmony are abhOrrens to them.
The Tribune eats its leek adroitly. Rob
inson, Adams, and Hubbard have been,
its especial idols. Driven to find fault
with something, it approves of the nomi-
n;es but disapproves of the nominations
arguing that the Democratic party was
always heretofore wrong because it did
not choose such men, and that now the
choice of such men is wrong, because
they are named by the Democrats.

A Sense of WEAKNESS

is often felt by persons who cannot locate any
particular disease. If they work, it becomes
labor If they walk, they soon tire; mental eff
forts become burden, and even joys are
dimmcd by the shadow of this weakness which
is cast over their lives. Recourse is had some,
times to slimulants ola dangerous character
The advice of physicians to refrain from active
labor produces no happy results. Why? The
system is debilitated and needs to be built up
properly. Peruvian Syrup will do this very
thing. Like the electric current, it permeates
the entire system, and harmonzing with the
corporal functions, it raises up the cnfcebled

The American Alliance, which endorses
Governor Hayes, and with whose resolution
he expressed himself, throughly his private
secretary, as deeply gratifed," is revival
ofthe old Know Nothing organization. Its
object, as enunciaed in its conslil uliou, is to
secure an amendment to the naturalization
laws, prohibiting foreign born citizens from
voting or holding office in the United States.

DEMOCRATIC GLoRIFIcATIoN-A Demo
cratic gathering, called by the Bel Air Tilden
and Hendricks Club, took place at the Court
House on Wednesday night, for the purpose
of rejoicing over the late elections in the
West. Henry d. Farnandis, President of
the club, presided, with Charles l.. Dalam
Secretary. Earnest and eloquent addresses
were delivered by d. Preston Parr, Jr., and
Joseph S. Heuisler, of Baltimore, and Hon.
Stevenson Archer. The address of Mr..
Heuisler was one of the most eloquent and
stirring political speeches ever delivered in
the Court House His remarks were con.
fined chiefly to national politics, but in con-
GLIDING he urged every Democrat to cast a
solid ticket for Tilden, Hendricks aid Rob.
erts. He showed the folly of eecting Mr..
Tilden without at the same time giving him
the assistance of Democratic House of
Representatives, in order TO aid him in the
great work Of Reform and publication of
the national government Mr.. Heuisler
said
"lf you elect Samuel j. Tiden, and lose
the lower House of Congress, Mr. Tilden's
election will be farce You will raise him
up with one hand, in order to pull him down
with the other. Yon will render him pow
eress to carry out those great reforms inau-
gurated by the last Congress. therefore urge
you to.cast your vote for Hon Charles b.
Roberts. You have in him thoroughly COM
potent representative and q man of the strict
est integrity. Elect him and he will aid and
abet MI. Tilden in his work ofreform. there
fore invoke you, as sons of Maryland, and |
speak not only to white men but to colored
men, vote for Charles B. Roberts, because he
is an honest man and an incorruptible citi-
zen"
