that man should be earnestly solicit
GUS TO avert war so long as there seems
to be a possibility Of doing SO and yet
join heart and soul with his country
when war is inevitable and that seems
to have beer the position of Gov. Til
den.
1t was not the position of Gov. Foote
he exactly reversed it; he eagerly
opposed a peaceable solution, eagerly
devoted himself to the purpose Of FIR
ing the Southern people forcing the
question of secession, and then as soon
as the South had an organized govern
ment he devoted himself to stubborn
and INSCRIPTIONS opposition to its poll
icy, thwarting it in every movement
and embarrassing every measure to
sustain the war.
Of the two Gov. Tilden's course
seems to us a much more respectable
one than that of Gov. Foote.

THE RADICAL CONVENTION.

We are not often in accord with our
contemporary The Neso Southern Era,
and we have the more pleasure in ex-
pressing our liking for the outspoken
honesty of its editor in speaking of the
Nashville Republican Convention:
"In making no nomination for Gov
ernor, in failing to make a ringing
declaration in favor of preserving State
credit, the Convention Numbered ter
ribly. There was never before such an
opportunity presented a party to create
capital for itself. A brave, manly
stand in favor of paying the debt. and
meeting, at all hazards and at every
cost. the interest as it fell due, would
have electrified this State, and added
a strength to the Republican Presl-
Dental ticket incalculable. There
we're too many managers in the Con-
vention, aud too few clear headed, I'M
partisan, honest, business men. Flnesse
and trickery ruled the ascendant.
The Convention was controlled by a
certain gentleman, and really in his in
terest, who, a day or two before it met,
secuted Henry Clay's declaration that
"he would rather be right than be
President. Henry Clay was states
man; this gentleman is "a one horse
politician.
He then goes on scornfully criticiz-
ing their platering with the nation in a
double sense on the subject of the
State finances. The truth is that the
financial plank of their platform is
quite an ingenious piece of double en-
tendre, intended to be read one way or
another according to circumstances,
like response af the Delphic oracle:
Resolved, That we regard the con-
duct of the Tennessee Democracy In
collecting a forty cent tax, and then
refusing to meet the interest on the
State debt, while accommodating fund
for which no local use has been pres
cribed or is proposed, as unjust and
degrading to the honest taxpayers
and as furnishing the character OF ouE
people abroad.
The reader will perceive that this is
adapted to the latitude in which il
may be read. If in low tax commu.
nifty it blames the Democrats for rails.
ing forty cent tax, if among State cred.
it people it quarrels with them for moi
paying the interest of the State deb
out of it.
The gentleman in whose behalf the
whole affair was engineered long before
the convention met in Nashville hal
since beenEannounced an independ
emit candidate for Governor of the State
under the title of Gen. Geo. Nancy.

JUDGE CLAYTON, OF MISSISSIPPI.

The Hon. A. NJ. Clayton delivered
at Holly Springs, Miss, on the 4th of
July, 1876, an address in which he
mentions four Tennesseean who were
once citizens of GAINESVILLE. In max
ing mention OF others who resided in
Holly Springs at that early day, he
omits all notice of himself, yet in speak
ing of the bar at Holly Springs, he
might we'll say Pars naagno tri."
Judge Clayton was once a citizen of
GAINESVILLE, and while here became
eminent as jurist; was special Judge
of the Supreme Court of Tennessee,
and was afterwards appointed United
States District Judge for the Territory
of Arkansas, by Gen. Jackson. He
subsequently emigrated to Mississippi
where he took leading position in the
practice of the law, and was elected
Supreme Judge, and for many years,
he was distinguished for learning and
ability, these qualities with his sterl-
ing worth made him him one of the
jewels of his adopted State. He was
a Jeffersonian States Rights Demo
crat of the old Virginia mould. He
was therefore decided in his Southern
sympathies, and gave his hand and
heart to the Southern cause. He is
still full of energy, and his learning
and experience has caused him to be
frequently selected to fill the seats of
the Judges since the war, in the dis
charge of the duties he now, as ever
before, displays the mosteminent abili-
ty. He is withal most exact and
perfect man of business, correct and
upright in all things, and though we'll
along in years, he has the reward of a
virtuous life his eye is not dim, nor
his natural force abated.
The following is the portion of Judge
Clayton's address, referring to Judge
Parry w. Humphreys. former citizen
of GAINESVILLE, aud the father of R.
W. Humphreys, Esq, our esteemed
friend and fellow citizen
Parry w, Humphreys, at different
times Judge OF the Circuit and Su-
preme Courts, of Tennessee, q member
of Congress, and coming Within one
vote of beating John H. Eaton for the
United States Senate, was the first
name in the firm of Humphreys, Bar
ton & Powell. He had long passed
the meridian of life, and left the labor
ious part of the practice to the junior
members of the firm.
Mr.. Barton had been Prosecuting
Attorney in Tennessee, was better ac-
quainted with the criminal than with
the civil law, was a strong and power
full advocate, and became the leading
criminal lawyer of his day.
Alfred II. Powell was younger; he
had married the daughter of Judge
Humphreys, had been trained in the
law school of Judge Tucker, in Vir-
ginia, had thorough knowledge of
his profession, was pointed and effect
i've speaker, and in every respect an
accomplished lawyer. He died very
suddenly, leaving high reputation for
ability, and in the midst of promise of
future exalted distinction.

We HAVE before us the letter of
Mr.. Conrad Frederick accepting the
nomination Of the so-called Indepen-
dent Convention for Representative of
this county in the State Legislature.
He declines the stump, but makes
this letter the manifesto of his princi-
pies. He endorses the platform of
the Independent Convention, and in
addition proposes the abolition of the
Criminal Court of Montgomery coun-
ty, and with it the judgeship of the
County Court.
He calls Judge Smith to account
for inconsistency in asserting to the
declaration of the State Convention !;
that more than mills on the dollar
cannot be raised now, and that he will
yet, by economy in every department,
endeavor to pay the interest on the
bonds with it. Surely there is no in
consistency in saying 1 can pay all,
but will do my utmost to pay all |
can And then he goes on to attack
him because "his heart is with the
bondholder and not with the people. !"
This is the old cant that as soon as a
man lends you money he ceases to be
one Of the people, and becomes bloat-
ed capitalist whom all men are In duty
bound to brand, resist and plumber.
He says the bondholders live luxu-
riously without their interest; but the
wolf is at the door of the people. Here
again the bondholder and the people
the one rich and extortionate, the
other poor and victim.
How does he know that the bond
holders live luxuriously2 1t is well
known that in many cases tho pittan-
ces of widows and orphans were In
vested in these bonds, who have be-
come destitute by our failure to pay
the interest. 1t is we'll known on the
other hand that there are regulators
in our great cities who own immense
property and defraud these widows
and orphans in order to escape the
tax which should pay the interest
But after all in a question of debt, il
does not affect the morality of the
matter whether the creditor is rich oil
poor; the only question is do you owe
him the money. As for the legality
of the bonds. that has been demonstra.
ted in this journal long ago and no one
has attempted to controvert our argu
ment.

LETTER FROM ERIN.

EDITORS CHRONICLE On Monday,
August q, while our Chanccry Court
was in session our friend, r. H. Moody,
candidate for representative from the
counties of Houston, Dickson and
Cheatham, by the kind permission of
his Honor, H. III. Lurton, the Chan
cellor, delivered speech at the Court
house at Arlington to the citizens of
Houston county upon State politics.
He made very favorable impression.
His remarks were mainly practical and
sensible, and characterized by the ut
most courtesy toward his absent oppo-
nents. He gave brief but clear and
succinct history of how the bonded
debt Of the State was contracted, and
when contracted, and how much of it
had been paid down to the present
time, showing that the largest proper
ton of it was contracted before the
war for tnrnpikes, railroads, the capt.
tai and other public works, and under
Democratic administrations, and that
under the act of the legislature ALLOW
ing the railroads to defray their in
debtedness to the State in bonds of
any series, the most of the objectiona-
BILE bonds had been paid in and can
celed, and that but small proportion
of such bonds remained outstanding.
He argued that if any of the bonds
still on the market had been illegally
issued, and the State was not bound
for them, that the question should be
submitted to the courts to be tried,
and if they were found to be honest
and legally issued the State ought not
to repudiate them. He expressed
himself in strong and emphatic Ian
guage to be in favor of paying every
honest debt that the State owed, and
denounced reputation il language so
eloquent that it seemed to meet with
responsive echo in the hearts of ev-
cry one present, for he was enthusiast
tically cheered by the crowd at this
part of his speech. He, however,
planted himself squarsly upon the
State Democratic platform, and argued
that the people ought not to be OPP
pressed by any increase of taxes at
present-they were not able to bear it
but hoped that times would improve
and the people become more able, per-
haps, hereafter to meet and shoulder
this debt. At least that we ought to
do the best that we could and try first
TO nav our honest debts before we
talked of reputation. He was willing
if we found we could not, to say "loe
emit" but never zoe qOOnt" pay our
honest debts And he asserted that
Whenever the proud apd gallant old
State of Tennessee, the home OF his
birth, and the State in whose bosom
he hoped to be buried, should repudl-
ate her honest debts, he would pull up
stakes and emigrate to some other
countryi prolonged cheering
He discussed the expenditures of
the State government in connection
with national politics. and showed
how in various ways the expenses of
the State government might and ought
to be ont down, and money saved to be
appropriated to the payment of the in
terest ON the State debt. He argued
that the interest on the State debt
only amounted to something little
less than three millions, and that the
people of Tennessee were annually

Squire Frederick Refuses to Meet
Judge Smith in Debate.

On Tuesday 9th inst, Judge Smith
addressed a polite note to Esquire
Frederick, inclosing a list of his ap-
pointments and respectfully inviting
him to a discussion of the issues in
volved in the pending canvass. Mr..
Frederick stated in reply that his
health would not permit him to do so,
and also that he was not able to dis
cuss the questions with Judge Smith.
If he intends making the canvass he
ought to meet our candidate and dis
cuss the questions of State policy be-
fore the people.

paying at least fifteen millions to the
United States government without
knowing how they did it. and that if
we could get an honest Democratic
administration at Washington, we
could and would save enough in the
way ofretrenchment and reform to pay
the interest on our State debt without
feeling it. At this point he put in
some telling hits against the corrup-
ton and dishonesty of officials con-
nected with the present Radical ad-
ministration at Washington; gave in
his most cordial adhesion to the Dem
ocratic nominees, Tilden and Hen
bricks, and the platform adopted by
the party at st. Louis, and eloquently
exerted his Democratic friends to sink
minor local issues and to present an
undivided front to the enemy in the
coming Presidential campaign.
And when, in conclusion. he an
nounced that if elected he would serve
his constituents to the best of his
ability, and that in the election fol

pallid cheek and feeble step gave evil
dence that the recreation was vastly
needed. We trust the water may
prove life's sweet elixir, and this holt
day of rest bring vigor and strength.
Life's little span is short enough at
best, to crowd all the Joy and mirth
into its feeting moments. The heart
aches, the anguish, the desperate pangs
of regret sweep down into a colossal
cross in the shadow of which we must
shiver and moan to wear in the grand
hereafter the crown of peace. And oh!
