A DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN GOING
ABROAD.


x-Governor Hendricks will sail
shortly for Europe, where he will
remain some months to take a re-
spite from the cares of public life
and enjoy that recreation ard
change of scenery and routine so
essential to every hard worker. A
public farewell has been rendered
him to take place at the Bates
House, in Indianapolis. Senator
Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indiana,
has been selected TO deliver the fare
well address. This is a fitting tes-
timonial to the worth and character
Of one Of the ablest and purest
public men of the present times.
The people Of Indiana in thus hon
oring their fayorite and distinguish
ed son viii elicit the applause Of
his friends throughout the Union.
He will carry with him a faultless,
symmetrical character-a reputa-
ton never discOlored by a breath
Of SANDER or detraetion, and
the best wishes Of a ma
iority Of the American people.
He goes as a private citizen who
but recently received a majority Of
the popular vote of the country for
the second highest Office within the
gift Of the people, and while they
have been deprived Of his services
he is held in the same high esteem
as ever. The marks Of respect to
be paid him by the people of his
own State, as well as New York,
on the eve Of his departure, are
but an expression of public feeling
crvstalized and localized. Governor
Hendricks goes abroad conscious
of his own rectitude, the enduring
respect Of the American people, and
bearing with him the dignity Of a.
private citizen equal to the highest
in the land. He is the best.
type Of a citizen aud republican in
the true sense, and will command
as much respect abroad as though
he aped and mimiced the manners
Of royal courts. His safe return
in good health viii be hailed with
great satisfaction, for if he lives he
is destined yet to render distin-
guished public services.

ELSEWHERE will be seen a card
from Colonel John 7. Flynn, which
squarely refutes, and should silence
the cowardly destinations thrown
out recently affecting the character
of the late Horace F. Smith, agent
of the Memphis and Louisville rail-
road. Mr.. r. S. Lukenbill, who is
an expert, and inspector of agen-
cies for the Louisville and Nashville
and Great Southern railroad, who
also went over the accounts, has
united in the assurance that all is
correct to a cent, and states that
MIR. Smiths books were kept by a
perfect system aud always found
correct. The absurd and unjust
story has even been telegraphed by
special to a Cincinnati paper, and
given paternity and circulation.
We are at a loss to conceive the
metiye for thus assailing the good
name of the dead and injuring a
worthy and stricken family.

TIE POLES OF TENNEssEE.

Prof. Cashier Zdanowick, of Gal
latin, Tenn, proposes to rally the
Poles Of this country to see what
can be done for Poland, aud has is
sued the following address:
1t is our duty to be united in the pres.
ent situation of Europe more than ever
Although far from our native country,
We must not forget her, and do all hat is
in our means to promote her welfare
Regardless Of religion or party, let US
unite and be animated only with the
spirit Of true Poles Let us say that
Poland is not lost so leng as we live; let
ns tell to the country which has so gen.
erously adopted US, to the great ad
mirers OF Koseiusko and Pulaski, that
we are ready to give our last drop ei
blood for Poland.
Friendsl Some prominent Poles in
the United States propose TO hold a con.
v%ention to study means the most useful
for Poland to regain her independence,
aud | hope that the Poles Of Tennessee,
regardless Of creed, will answer to their
appeal and do their duties az patriots.
While the tale of Poland's wrongr
has always excited the liveliest sym.
pathy in this country, we do no
see in the European war any sign
of "Poland'S opportunity" The
failure of Russia TO reduce and de.
stroy the Ottoman empire would
not affect the autonomy of Russii
or give any Of the remotest de
Tendencies any better chance thar
before. 1t is to be feared that am
outside movement of the Poles
whether at Constantinople to form
a legion, or in this country merel,
to express feeling against Russia
will bring down upon the people o
Poland at home who cannot escap
greater severity Of discipline ant
I punishment. In all movements O
chose abroad this should be born

MISTAKE.

Captain ]. Harvey Mathes, editor Of
the Memphis LEDGER, who visited Fort
Worth recently with the excursion party
from his city, in speaking Of his trip,
says:
Fort Worth, the Queen of the Prai-
ries, is a marvellous little place, & from
tier village, with city airs, 5S5 miles west
Of Memphis and 30 miles west Of Dallas.
Il is built in the midst Of a vast rolling
prairie, on an eminence overlooking the
Brazos river, and afording a magnif.
cent view as far as the eye can reach"
A village, indeed Will Mr.. Mathes
inform us what the average size of a Ten
nessee village ISL II lie considers Fort
Worth a village, he no doubt found cities
scarce in Texas. He locates our little
metropolis on the BrBzos river, when in
lsct that river is about forty miles dis
tant. In all eRrnestness we would ad-
wise him to devote his leisure hours to
the study Of geography. Fort Worth is
situated On the Trinity, and is the pres
eat terminus of the Texas and Pacific
railroad. -[Fort Worth (Texas} Sand
ard, I'd.
The Brazos river mistake, a mere
slip of the pen, was discovered
when too late to correct. But how
in the name of Jupiter Fluvius
could a fellow find a moment to
study geography the midst of such
Inequalities as the Fort Worthless
bestowed on our crowd that day?
The city is little only as compared
with st. Louis, San Francisco or
Memphis, but big with enterprise
md clever people, and is the Invest
place on the continent. Besides
Ills the Brazos cannot be much of
river any how, or it would run by
Fort Worth or dry up.
