composing Col. Branner' s-stud, and
we feel justly proud of having such
finely bred animals in our county.
At the head of our harem stands

bred by the distinguished Kentuck-

pleased to find them in individual
merit, fGlly equal to their high
breeding, and under the manage

Impudence.

Two Senators have undertaken
land only two we believe) to denounce
Mr.. Tilden and charge him directly
with corruption in regard to the Or
egon election. Mr.. Tilden has during
a long public life. horne not only an
unsullied personal reputation as the
enemy of frrud and the prosecutor
of dishonesty. lie has been hereto
fore vindicatep by those of the oppo-
site party. and by the Republican
press il 1871 aud 1874, his praises
were sung and his fame established.
Senators. therefore. who undertake
to examine, much less attack his
moral character, public or private,
shoul not only be virtuous men of
.uhshalled reputation, but they should
be above suspicion. Now who are
these Senators? Sargent, Of Caiifor-
MIA, who was burnt in efigy by his
own people for curruptiOn, and they
have refused to alter their judment,
or revoke their sentence, and he has
gone by the name of Efigy Sargent
ever since, and he has never dared
to refute the charge or resent the
epithet. Aud j. Nipple Mitchell, of
Oregon, who brought into the Senate
of the United States a false name,
acquired while fugitivefrom Penn

To the Members OF the General
Assembly of Tennessee,
now in Session.

BEACH CREEK, Tenn, Feb. 10. ~.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
SIR: Please allow me through
the columns of your valuable paper,
to say a few words to the members
of our present Legislature. 1 am a
plain farmer and tax payer, and I
think | know the requirements OF
this class of people. At every meet
ing Of the Legislature we have some
new and oppressive law cnacted,and
generally the next Legislature kills
them.
The last assessment and dog laws
was very unpopular, and bat few, if
any members who voted for them
were returned. Our school laws are
not popular, but may be said to be
as good as any we can get; we need
and must have more educated men
and women, otherwise we cannot
advance with the civilized world
In the present Legislature | notice
in your paper, through Mr.. Flan-
ders, the Senator from Knox, has
introduced a road law, the enatment
of which would be very unpopu. ar.
We already have too many Office
holders paid at the expense of the
people; this law would let all es-
cape except the land owner, as l
understand it. Now l take this view
of the matter, the farmer is the
life blood of the country, we cannot
do without him, he is the most sub
missive of all classes. If you 90 to
his house the latch string is always
out and without price. no money re-
quired to stay under his roof. You
are welcome, then do not tax him
to death to feed those that would
seek Office and 1--we without honest
labor, but rather pass some law that
would exempt them from taxation,
for each year, the farmer who should
raise the most wheat or corn or the
most valuable crop from, an acre of
the poorest land our present road laws
are good enough. compared with the
condition of our farm houses, barns,
&c. Allow US to improve our lands,
build and paint our houses by do
ing this we will patroDize tie me-
chanic and merchant, whom we can
not well do without. AS things are
now, it is a hard strain to SAGE
enough to pay our taxes; the men
with money generally know nothing
of many draw backs Then give Us
few and simple laws, hang for muir
der, whip for stealing, and make
men pay their just and honest debts,
put nine-tenths of the Office seekers
and lawyers at work.
Yours,

nIatrimony and Fast Young Men

The pastor of a church in one of
our large cities said not long ago:
have oaiciated at forty weddings
since I came here, and in every case
save one I felt that the bride was
running an awful risk. Young men
of bad habits and fast tendencies
never marry girls of their own sort,
but demand a wife above suspicion.
So pure, sweet women. kept from
the touch Of evil through the years
of their girlhood, give themselves.
with all their costly dover Of wo-
manhood, into the keeping of men
who, in base association, have learn
ed to underValue all that belongs to
them, and then find no time for
repentance in the sad after years.
There is but one way out of this
that can see, and that is for you
the young women Of the country
to require, in association and mar
riage, purity for purity, sobriety for
sobriety, and honor for honor. There
is no reason why the young men of
this Christian land should not be
just as PlTIdOu5 as It's young WClnSu ;
and if the loss ef your society and
love be the price they are forced to
pay for vice. they will not pay it. /
admit with sadness that not all of
our young women are capable of
this high standard for themselves or
others, but believe there are enough
earnest, thoughtful girls in the socie-
ty' of our country to work wonders
If faithfully aroused.

Sheen Killed by Dogs.

Mr.. nj. S. Sorrell informs us that
on last Saturday night, the dogs
made raid on his fine Cotsworld
sheep and killed twenty ofthem.
Mr.. SorreIl has always been a
strenuous advocate of the Dog Tax,
and he says that now as a bill 10 re-
peal the Law, known as the Dog

they have retaliated on him. Is this
repeal justice to those of our farmers
who are interested in improving the
stock of our county? Let some one

Thy path should be with flowers strewn,
All racy, rare and sweet .-..
The angels should with thee commune,
And make thy joy complete. E1il

To do his yearning Will; re#

That do his bosom thrill.

Der spread with mysteriars veil;

That all name hopes are frail.

The girl with a frog in her stomach
has turned up again, this Lime in the
neighborhood of Troy. There can be
no doubt ubout it, for the Times, of
that city, vouches for the story. She
swallowed the beast seven years ago,
in drinking from q brook--an incl
dent which carries its own moral
and has suffered the gravest discom-
fort ever since. Last Sunday, how
ever. the frog came up, and now the
girl goes about her affairs as merry
as a cricket. Unfortunately for the
cause Of science, the sight Of the
reptile so excited her that she inn
mediately seized it and threw it into
the fire, and so it happens that no.
body but herself saw the frog. But
then nobody can question her ac-

Martin F. Tupper to the South.

The Charleston Ne,os and Courier pub
lished the following poem from the pen
of Martin F. Tuppsr, who is now in
that city:
To the South.
The world has misjudged lnistrusted naligned
And should be quick to make honest amends
Let US, then, speak OF you just as We hnd you
Humbly and heartily, cousins and friends
Let us remember your wrongs aud your trlals,
Slandered and pluadered, and crushed 10 the
Draining adyersity's bitterest vials,
Patient in courage and strong in good trust.
You fought for Liberty-rather than slaveryi
Well might you wish to be quit Of that i'll.
But you were sold to political knayery,
Mesh'd by diplomzcy's spider-hke skill;
And yCu rOjOiced to see slavery banished,
While the free servant works wen as before
Confident though many fortunes have vanished,
Soon to recover al-rich as Of yore
Doubtless there had been some hardships ard cru
elites,
But to tell truth-and truly the jewel It's
Kindness ruled-as a rule-everywhere
SerYants-if slayes-were your wealth and inheri-
Born with your children and grown on your
ground,
And it was quite as much int'rest as merit hence
Still to make friends OF dependents all round
Yes, it is slander to say you oppressed them.
Does man squander the prize of his pelf
Was it not often that he who possess'd them
Rather was owned by his servants himself
Caring for ali, a in health, so in sickness,
He was their father, their patriarch chief,
Ages iufTnities, infancys weakness,
Leaning him for rePose and relief.
When you went forth in your pluck and bravery,
Selling for freedom both fortunes and lives,
Where was that prophesied Outburst of slavery,
Wreaking revenge on your children and wives
Nowhere You left all to serviIe safe keeping,
And this faithful and true to your trust;
Master and servant thus mutually reaping
Double reward Of the good and the just!
Generous SOuthernersi I who addressed you
Shared with too many belief IN your sins;
But recall it-thus-let me confess you
knowledge is vict-r and every where wins;
For have seen, I have heard, and sure Of it,
You have been slandered and safered long,
Paying all slavery's cost, and the cure Of It,
And the Great World shall repent of its wrong
