THE CHRONICLE FOR THE CAM
PAIGN.

In view of the approaching presi-
Dental campaign, it is to be anticlpa-
ted that an increased demand will
arise for prompt and accurate politi-
cal intelligence. With view of sup
plying this demand, we desire to say
that we shall always in future, as in
the past, endeavor to keep up with
the exigences of the times; all infor-
nation in regard to both the presi-
dental campaign and the county can
vass will be given with promptitude
and accuracy to the utmost of our
ability, and the comments which we
may feel called upon to make on the
events which may arise will be dicta-
ted by the same principles which have
hitherto been our guide. These are
the vigorous advocacy of REFORM and
uncompromising hostility to corrup-
ton in Federal affairs, maintaining
our adhesion to the cause of Tilden
and Hendricks, who were our choice
as candidates for the Presidency long
before the convention at st. Louis
and in State politics the conscientious
maintenance of the credit of the State.
Our subscription list is at this time
larger and more lucrative than it has
been since our journal was first offered
to the public in 1893, and to adverti-
sers we may say without presumption
that no better medium of publicity
can be procured throughout this re.
gion of country.

Gen. RraXtnn Bragg.

Gen. Braxton Bragg was born in
Warren county, North Carolina, in
1915, was admitted into the Academy
at West Fointin 1888, graduating there
N 1887, and was appointed second
lieutenant in the Third Artillery. He
served with distinction under General
Taylor in the Mexican war, and In
1855 was offered a commission In a
regiment, which he declined, and re-
tired into private life in 1856. At the
commencement of the civil war he be-
came Brigadier-G General in the Con-
federate army, being stationed at Peu-
sacola to act against Fort Plckens.
He was not generally successful while
in this command. In 1862, having been
appointed General of a Division, with
orders to act under Gen. A. s. ohm
ston. commanding the army of the Mis-
sissippi, he took an important part IN
the two days battle of Shiloh. On the
death of Gen. A. s. Johnston, he was
appointed to the command of the en-
tire force, with tie full rank of Gen
eral, in which position he conducted a
brilliant campaign against the force of
Gen. Buel, whom he out generated.
He subsequently operated in Tennes-
see, and fought the battles of Stone
River and Murfreesboro. His chief
exploit was at Chickamauga, in Sept.
1868, when he inflicted defeat on the
army of Gen. Rosecrans, though after
ward he was defeated by Gen. Grant
which led to his temporary removal
from command in January 1864, and
h was appointed chief of the staff to
President Davis.
In November, 1864, he assumed the
command OF the Department Of North
| Carolina. but having been defeated al
| Fort Fisher, Wilmington and Kings
ton, was superseded by General Joe
Johnston, with whom he surrendered
to General Sherman, April 26, 1865
Since then he has not appeared before
his countrymen, preferring the quie
of private life to the turmoil Of public

THE libellous New York Times gives
up Indiana. It says: The chances
are, so far as Harrison is concerned,
that he loses" There is no doubt
that the prediction about Harrison 5
defeat will be verified. The Times
also says The situation is just this :
Tilden intends to carry this State, if
possible. by fraud" The allegation
about Democratic frauds is very thin
cover for the immense frauds the Rad
icals are organizing The Democrats
are busily engaged in discovering and
defeating such plots by publishing all
the details of them.

prepared to conduct the Warehouse
business for the benefit of Changers

thus favor us. The Association has
bought the Cumberland House, in

While the savings of this house are

the same time solicit the business of all
who are friendly to US, and pledge our
selves to use all honorable efforts to
promote their interest and to extend
TO all as liberal accommodations as any
house in this or any other market
We wish to remind the brethren that
the arrangement made with Messrs
Herndon IL Smith last season resulted
in a handsome saving TO the order
though it is well known that this firm
was confronted on every hand by al
manner of combinations unfriendly tC
the move, and that the house was com.
PEELED to submit to the open opposition
of many influential members of the
order; but Notwithstanding all thes'
difficulties, and the predictions of th'
knowing ones" that it would prove
grand failure, we are happy to inform
our friends for their encouragement
that it has resulted in the saving o
over $1,000, which by order of the Dis
trict Council, the Secretary is instruc
ted to pro rata among the Patrons VIII

RETURNS OF JEWS TO PALESTINE.
The Jewish Herald states that the last
four or five years have witnessed a re-
turn of the Jews to Palestine from all
parts, but more especially from Russia,
which has been altogether unprece-
dented. The Hebrew population of
Jerusalem is now probably double
what it was some ten years ago. Great
accessions still continue daily; and
whereas, ten years ago, the Jews were
confined to their own quarters in } cru
salem, the poorest and worst, they now
inhabit all parts of the city, and are
always ready to rent every house that
is to be let.

rous prosecutors, while lances were
pointed at his heart: THE offense is
mine, shoot me, but spare these men;
they are innOcent-shoOt me; will
certainly be avenged, bat they may lot

day as he bears his breast to the ma
lignant shafts which are leveled at him
by the corruptionists Of the radical
party. They cannotdaunt him. There
is not a man in the land who possesses
more physical and moral courage than
Cassius NJ. Clay.

Republicans know it. The Tribune is
honestly trying to save its party, but it
is a hopeless job. Its appeals are pos

There is but one thing for the Re-

Grantism, without any ifs Possibly
his kicks may help to arouse DOR

lent disregard of the opinion or the
interests OF the party may sting it into
something like manly utterance. 1t
will be most fortunate for the party if
the president contrives to so affront it
that everybody shall understand that
he does not desire the election of
Hayes. But if the party does not
speak, quickly and very plainly, pub
