THE wTDOwY MITE.


During the winter Of 1876. 1 went
with John H. w. Hawkins sBd Or.
Charles Jswett 10 wOOdford, where We
were both TO hold temperance meet
iHgs, and organize Westinghouse
Society. The weather was favorable,
the sleighiag excellent, and the meet
ings were large and 81 the most enthu-
siastic character. People came from
many miles around, and we had the
pleasure Ofseeing large and vigorous
society springiug into existence.
On the first day. while Hawkins was
telling his experience Of sorrow and
misfortune from the iutoxicating cup.
I noticed poorly clad, middlsAged
woman, who Wept and sobbed e tho
her bosom was bursting. AZ the close
. of the meeting, that woman was among
the first tOPlace her name 20 the pledge.
When she had Md down the pen, and
returned to her seat 1 looked to see
what she had written. Il Was 4 trem.

Gov Harris Successor.

Now that the Executive Comm tie
will b, called on to appoint an Elec.or
to fill the vacancy occasioned By the
resignation of Gov. Harris, we think
that East Tennessee should furnish his
successor.
Now that the Republicans ara endsav-
oring to change the Presidential issue
from reform to that of sectionaIism. and
in aid thereof are re-awai ening the bit
ter animosities and cr1el re eriminatio ms
of the civil struggl we deem It eminently
wise not to adj fuel to the flme by
selecting men for position who are of
noted AMI pronounced political South

tons and races. and not weighed down
by record that links their names with
the fiery heat Of the late war.
We of this day and generation are
commissioned to restore the Southern
commOnwealths to their former rightful
place in the galaxy of union of CO.
equal, sovereign States. This is our
line of duty. The road at present is
hard, but a radiant star is ahead, lead
ing the way, and sweet music Is heard
puisating in advance from out the future.
summoning the Southern people to en-
dure, as their forefathers did in the
dark days of the Old Revolution.
The chief thing now to be done is 20
prepare for pressing emergencies, and
to place the Democracy of Tennessee in
position to roll up full vote for Til
den and Hendricks. This we conceive
can be accomplished by giving to East
Tennessee the honor of choosing the
Elector in the place of Gov. Harris,
resigned
If this be conceded, we hope that either
Hon. Egbert G. James or Col John H.
Crozier will be chosen. Both these
gentlemen developed decided strengt h
in the late Convention at Nashville.
They are popular leaders, and can rally
the gallant and free noun taiueers to the
support of oar National ticket.
Egbert G. James is power GA the
hastings. His wit eIoquenco and ready
humor will via hosts of friends to our
standard.
Col Crozier is a gentleman of high
character and eminent fitness for the
work of an Elector.
Let either of these gentlemen be
selected, and with Gen. Bate, our
standard can float high and unterri-
fed amid the rush of political parties
for the Presidential prize in November.

Congress.

Congress has at length closed its doors.
and the session that has ended will be
ever memorable in our cOuntrys history
as one CT the most remarkable that has
ever been conducted The work ac-
complisLed has been of the most impor-
tant character, and IN nearly every IL
stance has the viii of the people and the
welfare of the nation been studied to
such egree as has been unknown
since the days Of the introd uetion Of
Grantism as an element Of our political
life. The responsibility for the acts that
have been done rests with the Democrat
ic party, for at every step in Its progress
Of reform and retrenchment it has been
met and 7irulently opposed by the Re
publican Senate and the power of the
Executive. This responsibility it cheer
fully accepts, and, with the confidence
shat Is born Of q sense of having done
its duty, comes before the country and
asks an enlargement of its powers 1t is
with just and Iaudable pride that it
points to the work it has performed, and
says that this is but an earnest of what
1t will Go, when the antagonistic ele
ments which haven neutralized many Of
Its efforts are removed. The very life of
the Administration party depends upon
its ability to continue it's course of pecu.
lation and infamy. By all the peri1red
demonstrations and all the malicious
falsihcations it can conceive, it will,
therefore, with all tho means of dissemin-
alton commands, endeavor to deceive
US with respect to the character of the
work performed The people, however,
knowing them, do not trust them They
caR and viii judge for themselves. They
have Judged already, and intend that the
distractions to reform shall be removed.
and that it shall be carried forward
with Tilden at the seat Of authority,
supported by both branches Of the Legis-
lature.

Can Hayes be Believed.

The ease with which some men, other
wise truthful and of the most delicate
sense of honor, turn over in public mat
ters their conscience to the keeping of
others, is remarkable. We have, in this
country, become accustomed to the
sight Of men in high official positions, en-
gagged in infamous and nefarious transec-
til ne, such as beit only the thieves and
scoundrels of the lowest order; but in
these instances there is nothing abnorm-
al, because these ofice-hoIders kave
been taken from the ranks of the low
minded and obscure, and the raising of
them to positions of eminence and re-
spOnsibility cannot alter their natures.
Gov. Hayes is not a man of this class.
We are willing to believe him pc rsonal-
ly man who in the private concerns of
life would conduct himself honorably
and uprightly. Notwithstanding, the
moment he enters upon the duties Of a
public Office, every vestige of veracity
vanishes. After having served two terms
as Governor of, OOio, he declared his
''infeyible purpose" of not again being
a candidate for the place. Yet within
twenty-four hours he was actively enga-
ged with the plundering rings Of the
State, in securing his election and at the
time of making known his determination
had actually ia his pocket a letter accept
ing the nomination. During the first
two terms be permitted to exist noxious
combinations of politicians, whose sole
purpose of association was the robbery
of the citizens and the State treasury. In
the course of his third term he has re-
stored these rings, after their demolition
by Gov. Allen, and TO them has made
oyer that portion of plundar Of which
they had been deprived during Allenss
administration. Neither in nor out of
Congress has he uttered GGe word in
condemnation of the worthless career of
Grant and bis administration. Yet
he comes before the people as can
didate lge the Presidency. It's 10 won
der that the people have determined not
to elect him?

" PASSED OVER THE RIVER.
Death OF Speaker Kerr.

The spirit of the gifted Kerr is at
rest, beyond the wearying touch of
time. He no longer rules the deibera-
tons Of an august assembly of babbhng
mUrtals; his flashing eye no longer
scans the marshalling host cf the Ma
tional Democracy, eager to rescue con
stitutional freedom from the clutches of
a despotism in disguise; his impulslve
patriot heart no longer furnishes Inspir-
ing muse-beats for freemen striving
to reform and save their country; his
body sleeps in the friendly bosom of his
nati7. diana State, while his soul is
in holy communion with its Maker and
Redeemer. Last week, amid the blue
mountains Of Virginia, whittier he went
to find health and strength, be sickened
and died, surrounded by woman's tender
love and the best skill of the medical
profession. This is blow to the coun-
try, but not unexpected. For months
The grim archer had Enthusiastically winged
at him fatal shaft, and now he lays
low, in obedience to a call from the
skies.
At all times it is sad to see a mortal
die, but sadder far to see ones light 90
out who seemed just about to mount
upward to still higher steps along Fame's
craggy steep. Carlyle would say that
the Goods felled him because they
wanted such a grandly heroic soul"
In the death Of such public man the
country loses what it very sadly needs
at this time, shining abilities coupled
with irreprcachable character Earth
is made poorer-HeaVen richer, by his
death. Could we but lift the curtain,
that misty veil, that shuts Heaven from
the eyes of earth, and see the employ
ment of those sainted, patriot>spirits,
from Washington day down to this
hour, how the strong hearts of the Re
publican traitor band would be con
science-stricken on seeing q vast circHog
host of eager, watchful spirit-ones flying
earthward to shield from harm that
legacy of liberty which while on earth
they bequeathed US by their wisdom aud
valor
If at any time earth needed the aid
of Heaven to save the right from wicked
hands, now is the time and our country
is the place.
Requiescat IN pace.

ties and the status of the Grant party as
represented by Hays and Wheeler, our
correspondent brings to the front the
high character of the Tennessee delega-
ton in Congress.
Conspicuous amongst these distin~
auished men, we have our present popu-
lar Representative, Col Casey Young
From what we learn tbs gentleman
will have no opposition for a second
tenn. His services are appreciated by the
people and they in return will take
pleasure in attesting their appreciation
by returning him to position which he
has so hOnorably filed. Col. Young
has well and faithfully served the people
and an experience of one term will en-
able him to do still more efficient work
for the country at large Competency
and high character shoull always be re.
warded by suitable acknowledgements.
Endorse his course by unanimous re-
nomination. He deserves it and we owe
it to him for faithful public service.

The Cartridge Box.

The ballot box is the freeman's weap-
on, but the cartridge box is the despot's
convenient tool. The recent order from
Secretary Cameron to Gen. Sherman to
hold his troops well in hand throughout
the South, that all races and classes may
feel protected in the exercise of the
elective franchise in N)vem03r, WAS in
tended as FOOLS Cruel for the country,
but the experiences of the the past. the
military assumptions of Grant aud his
party, and the present territorializing
threatenings Of Morton aud his bloody
shirt gang, indicate that the military
arm is to play an important part in de-
Gliding the issue Of the Presidential eleo-
ton. The scene thickens.
