Col. James E. Bailey.

Dyersburg was favored with a visit
on Tuesday last from the Hon. James
E, Bailey, of Clarksville, gentleman
recognized as one of Tennessee's S best
orators. Space forbids us to give in
detail the full substance of his speech,
embracing as it does the whole field of
political labor. We cannot, howev-
er, pass over the remarks in reference
to the financial ruin to which we are
drifting. The questions discussed
were not new to Col. Bailey's audience,
but so ably argued that they elected a
marked attention and interest. Col.
Bailey contrasted the expenditures OF
the decade of years prior to 1860, and
that subsequent to this date, and the
lavish reck klessness and waste of pub
lie money during the latter period was
set forth in language and figures not to
be misunderstood. The entire political
status of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties was discussed, and In do
ing so we pay the speaker well earn
ed con pliment when we say that his
views and ideas of government were
expressed in "a liberal manner, and
ideas of government were expressed IN
liberal manner, and here we cannot
but express our admiration for the
friendly spirit in which Col. Bailey
canvassed the character Of the leaders
Of the different parties. We know not
whether Col. Bailey is an aspirant to
any Office or not, but of this weare sat
is6ed; that an abler gentleman or more
polished statesman could not be select
ed to represent our fair State. Col.
Bailey is opposed to the high tariff sys-
TEN and his illustrations to show its
ruinous effect upon the pockets OF the
people were indeed forcible and con-
vincing. Dyersbug Progress.

/ The following truths. taken from th'
/ Detroit Free Press. are worth treasur
ing up
The great bulk of the people of tht
United States are dependent upor
then daily earnings for support, and il
Is OF the highest Importance TO them
that the Government demands upon
these earnings should be as light as
| possible.
| It makes difference of S. per head
to every man, woman and child in the
country, whether the annual expendi-
lures of the nations are $500, 600 900 OF
S400, 100000.
1t makes a difference of seventy five
cts. per head, So for family of father,
mother and six children, whether the
National expenditures are $240, ,000,-
900 or $270, ,00, 900.
The Republican party and the Grant
Administration have, in the pastseven
years and half expended over three
hundred million dollars more of the
ordinary purposes of the government
exclusive of interest, premiums and
debt charges-than was necessary for
an efficient, honest and economical ad-
ministration.
Grantism and the Republican party
have taxed the people for the National
administration about eight dollars per
head more than was needed with hon
esty apd economy.
Every family of five have been
pIundered Of forty dollars to maintain
and perpetuate Republican ring rule
since 1862
The people complain of Lard times /;
but Republican rogues have hourished
while the people were oyertaxed and
plundered, and hundreds of millions
have been recklessly misspent.
The Democratic House has stood
by the people. 1t has demanded and
insisted upon reduction of expendi-
lures Thirty million dollars have
been cut from the expenditures of last
year.
A Democratic administration will
follow up the reduction in expendi-
lures of this year by still further re-
duction. and will take efficient meas
ures to lessen taxation.
A Republican Administration, aided
by Republican Congress, maintain
lavish expenditures and drag millions
unnecessarily from the people.
Economy is the order of the day.
The people must be economical to live.
To secure economy in the nation, they
must elect a Democratic Administra-
ton.

oh, mellow. mellow autumn days.
OF Grim sun leaves and azure haze
The slumbering lakes and wandering I'll
Each mirror back the pnrpllng hills
The pnPpIing hills where far and dim,
Like golden clouds the forests swim.
Thus lies October in the arms
OF Autuun's fascinating charms,
And gives the all il e'er receives
Al golden reath of faded leaves;
Leaves OF scarlet and golden brown
In mournful eddies fntter down.
We hear through each sleepy morn
The rustic of the rSpening corn;
The rfpening wealth O. { labor's boon
Grows richer meath the harvest moon.
Oh, happy moon thy lonely way
Shfnesfar with starlet's sily'ry ray,
The last full sheaf is gathered in;
Now sounds the 11ail with merry din;
While hearty laugh at harvest tale
Keeps chorus with the soumdii fail,
Betwfxt the sound of laugh and fail
The plainJive whistle OF the quail.
The resting thresher ear receives
From far among the fallen leaves,
A lonely note. it sWells and dies,
AS sinks the sun in hazy skies.
Soft azure skies, thy trailing clouds
Soon wrap the dying year in shrouds.
Oh, golden brown Octoberda
NV senses, luIIed IN dreamy maze,
Seem reVeiing on a long-loSt shore,
Which may be found, aye, nevermore.
Oh. NeverIAofe, sad Nevermore,
No mortals haunt thy lonely snOre.

RATLING RADICALISM.
Tom Watson, COlOred, Sees Through
Its Thinness.

At democratic meeting at Bates
burg, s. c., on the 9th inst, there
were several colored speakers, among
them one Tom Watson hard working
field hand He made brave speech,
and so formulated the situation in re-
gard to the colored people Of the south,
that an abstract is we'll worth printing
His words, of course, are put into
shape by the reporter, and this is the
extract in question:
The radicals have been ruling this
government for ten years, and their
motto has been lie, cheat and steal, !"
and to-day there is no money in the
country. My colored friends, we have
to labor hard every day to get bread
for our little children; we have to go
bareheaded and in our shirt tails. [
went to Edgefeld the other day and
went into Larence Kain's Ca leading
white radical) palace, and | saw car
riage for his baby that would cost 800
in New York, and had white girl to
roll it. When his wife walked across
the floor, she dressed so fine you could
hear her 'rattling" a hundred yards.
tell you, my colOred friends, the rad
ical party is rotten. They have been
ruling thirteen states twelve of them
have rotted down, and the sills under
the thirteenth (South Carolinas) are
rotten, and it will fall on the 7th of
November. There is no such things
as party now; it is honesty butting
against rascality, and tell you rascal
ity, has got to get out of the way. l
have been voting for the radical party
for the last ten years, and, white folks,
| will tell you why | did it. These
here carpet -baggers and scalawags
came around and told me to give them
Office, and they would tax you so that
you would have to sell your land, and
then we could buy it. | thought it
would be mighty nice to have big
plantation, aud voted for them and
told them to stick on the tax. They
stuck on the tax; they got land, fine
horses, fine clothes aud plenty of money,
but | have never gotanything from them
yet. | tell you another falsehood they
have been telling the colored folks.
They tell US that as soon as the demo-
Gratis get into power they will put us
back into slavery. | tell you, my
colored friends, that is impossible.
The whole world is against slavery.
The constitution Of the United States
forbids it, and the white people could
not put you into slavery if they would,
and they wouldn't if they could.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
Tom came forward to the front of the
stand, and, with all the earnestness of
his honest soul, cried out ''All you
honest colored men come up here.
Give me your hand and God your
heart, and let's havean honest govern
ment." A number of eolored men
were Immediately enrolled on the dem
ocratic club.

TWEED.
Some Particulars Concerning the Ar.
rest of the Boss.

A letter from an officer of the United
States steamer Franklin, dated of the
coast of Portugal. gives the details Of
the order received by the Commander
of that vessel, from the Navy Depart
ment. relative to Tweed. The letter
says:
The telegram requested the Consul
to detail any United States Govern
ment vessel passing out of the Straits,
until orders could come from Wash
ington. A few hours later, a dispatch
from the Secretary of the Navy order
ed us to remain at Gibraltar for further
orders. The next day came telegraphic
orders from Washington to proceed to
Vigo, communicate with the United
States Minister, and receive Tweed on
board, place him under strict guard,
allow him no communication with the
crew, and upon arrival at New York to
allow no communication with the shore
until instructions shall be received
from the Navy Department as to his
final disposal
A postscript to the letter, dated Vigo,
Spain, has the following additional:
We climed the hill to the castle, but
admittance was denied us, because the
Governor had given orders to allow
no communication with the prisoner.
These prisoners guarded SO closely,
were Boss Tweed aud Hunt, a cousin
Of his. The people generally are OPP
posed to giving up the old sinner. But
the Government had no hesitation in
taking him upon the arrival of the
bark from Cuba, with the fugitive on
board. The Governor of the Province
went on board and found the Boss in
his shirt sleeves, barefooted, in the
midst of scrubbing the deck. The old
Boss looks quite jolly. aud has brass
enough to last him a hundred years.
He will be confined to the cabin dur
ing the passage, and whilst in port an
officer is always present with him.
