Tennessee 1Historicnl Society.

This society met at Nashville the
first of this week. The following is
an extract of a letter read by the
President, DR.. ], G. NJ. Ramsey:
81 congratulate you on the very
appropriate, and patriotic, and his
tOric monumental memorial erected
a few days since at GAINESVILLE, Ten
nessee. That town bears a historic
name itself-was called for Gen.
George Rogers Clarke, of even ante
revolutionary memOry-a type of
our best frontier sOldiery-like our
own Robertson, Sewer, Jackson,
Carroll and Coffee, self-made and
self-taught commandments
but native pluck-natiVe and prim-
tive love of country, western self
reliance, adventure, herOism and in
trepidity. These alone achieved
victory, conquest, glory for Clarke
and his brave men from the mouth
of the Tennessee to Detroit, through
q wilderness not yet explored by the
AnglO-American. The surround
ings of GAINESVILLE are no less his.
torip, not less interesting, The Pey-
tons, the Halls, others of equal
worth, equal courage, equal fame,
looked down from above and an
proved what was done and said of
Blount-Our victorious statesman
and patriot, Willie Blount."
Mr.. Arson Nelson offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was unan-
imOusly adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of the
Tennessee Historical Society are due
and are hereby rendered to the / co.
islature of Tennessee for furnishing
the means for the purchase of the
monument recently erected at
GAINESVILLE to the memory of ex-
Gov. Willie Blount; to the Knox
vile Marble Company for the taste
full and beautiful Shaft furnished by
them; to Maj. James Glover for
faithful oversight and superinten-
dence of the work to Gov. James
ID. Porter and eX-GoV. NeiIl S.

pirate addresses on the occasion; to

Graxwfh of REnhiIa.

The Mobile Register says that that
city has three times the population
it had at the outbreak of the war,
and 1t does not think that the fall
ing off in the cotton receipts is to be
at all fatal to its future prosperity.
1t says: "Our naval-store business
gives employment to a host of men
whose families live in the city. The
early vegetable and fruit business
has likewise grown enormously and
the band of improved gardens and
farms around the city has material
ly expanded. We hear of q peach
crop on a single farm netting Sc, 900.
We hear Of a sugar cane farm yield
ing 400 to 400 gallons of molasses to
the acre, We hear of an increased
and improved clip of wool in every

dustries all add to the capacity of
the county and city to sustain an in
creasing population"

WHERE Is THE PRESIDENT?

Those politicians who are relying
upon the hope that the President
will still continue to carry out lib
eral policy, and make his appoint
ments according to merit and effici-
ency rather than political expedi-
ency are very much exercised about,
the Presidential appointments; the
caucuses of the Republican Sena-
tors, and the uncertain relations of
the President to the Senators there
in assembling. SO far as can be at
present seen the President seems to
be weakly attempting to conciliate
by half measures a body of men
who cannot be 30 cOnciliated. They
are men who can only be treated in
one of two ways-absolute defiance
or absolute submission. His waver-
ing, vacillating policy between the
two is rapidly bringing him into
contempt with both parties. To de
fy the extremists and malcOntents
of his own party and throw himself
upon the support of the Democratic
party, which a little boldness and
frankness could have procured him.
would be one ineligible policy and
would probably give him a majority
ofsuppOrters in both Houses. Tore,
linquish all the distinctive princi-
pies which he has avOwed since he
attained the Presidency and place
himself under the guidance of
Conkling and Cameron would be an
ineligible position enough, though
not very respectable one; but to
spend his time feebly attempting to
combine things which are evidently
Incompatible is TO lose all chance of
help from either.
Let us illustrate what we are say
ing by his appointment Of Minister
to England. 1t seems to have been

NIr. Conkling,s views.

Two New York journals, the Tri-
bune and Herald, have ascertained
Roscoe Conkling's views of the po-
litical situation. From their ac-
counts it appears that the Senator is
well satisfied with the result in this
State, the Democratic majority be-
ing smaller, and the Republican vote
larger than could under the circum-
stances be expected. Mr.. Conkling's
friends assert that the Rochester
Convention stirred up the Republi-
cans and secured them majority in
the Legislature. The Senator him.
self is reported to have said that
''the State of New York is Demo-
cratic to-day by the act of the sup
porters of the President" The
Presidents civil service order, he
thinks, was ''made in the interest
of envious and preSuming little
men," The Senator seems to have
no doubt that his prospects of re-
election in 1879 are highly favorable.
OF his opponents in his own party
he speaks with contempt which is
perhaps, to some extent, affected,
but certainly in a sense not unde-
served. He regards the Cabinet as
mainly Democratic and refers con-
temptuously to the Secretary of
State as ''little Evarts." The terms
he applies to one of his principal OPP
ponents at home, ex-Congressman
Roberts, editor of the Utica Herald,
are no less disparaging. OF the abil-
ity and character Of President Hayes
the Senator seems to have as poor
an opinion as of that incumbent's
right to the electoral vote of LOuisi-
ana.
In order to secure his reelection
in 1879 Mr.. Conkling must obtain a
tWO-fOld success. But a fifth Of the
the legislative body which will
choose the next United States Sena-
tor has been chosen at this election.
Four-fifths of that body will be
elected next year, and the small Re-
publican majority in the Senate may
be overcome by Democratic gains in
the assembly of 1879. If, however,
the Republicans should secure the
assembly next year, Mr.. Conkling
would still need to defeat his oppO-
nents in his own party, and he may
find the two gentlemen whom he
styles ''little" and the third oppo-
nent, whom he has complimented
as the ''man-milliner, !" have a larger
following than he is now willing to
admit. The influence of the admin
istration will doubtless be on the
side of the anti-COnkling men. The
struggle between Hayes Republicans
and Conkling Republicans in this
State bids fair to become interesting
and important. Thus far the Conk-
ling Republicans seem to be ahead.

THE MILITARY SITUATION IN
EUROPE.

The exciting topics mOOted by the
French elections and by the opening
of the extra session of our own Con-
gress have for some time withdrawn
our attention from the war in Eu-
rope. In this way we have passed
over most important changes in the
relative positions of the antagonist
armies without mention. Even now
we can devote only small space to
very mOmentious transactions. The
extreme East and the extreme West
of the field of operations are the
points at which these changes have
occurred. In the East, General Mel
ikOff has succeeded in infiicting a
complete defeat upon the army of
Muhktar Pasha, piercing its centre
and capturing one wing, while the
other was driven into Kars, This
left the route open to Erzerom,
which place Melikoff is now threat
ening, leaving a small force to mask
Kars. In the West, General Gourka
has seized and fortified a strong po-
sition on the road from Plevna to
Sofia, completing the investment of
that place, and reducing its capacity
for holding out to the resources al
ready concentrated there. Chefket
Pasha has made several attempts to
dislodge Ghourka, but he Is strongly
fortified there and cannot be moved,
Suleman Pasha, now in command
on the LON, has attempted to make
a demonstration on Bjela in order to
divert the force of the CzarOVitch
from the seige of Plevna, but the
state of the roads render an advance
impossible. Everywhere the Rus
slams seem to have Out-reinforced
the Turks and to have them at a
disadvantage.

WE find the following waif float
ing around in our exchanges. We
know not who wrote it, but it is full
of sound truth:
Next to editors, the chief suffer-
ers for lack of funds are country
doctors. They tramp alike through
the storms of winter and the heat
of summer-they get up from a
warm bed with the thermometer at
40 degrees below zero, or leave a
shady nook when water is boiling
in the sun-they go ten miles over
a dusty road to relieve the pains of
some one, and if you watch the
twitching of their faces when they
return, it is easy to discover that
they do not expect to get a cent for
their services or outlay. Pay the
printer and pay the doctor, and a
God of mercy will shower blessings
down upon your head.

IT will keep cropping out. That
terrible Louisiana case will come up
with judgment even in the Repub-

Strong's admission of great wrong

who helped Mr.. Hayes to seat, as
a party necessity, Says
You cannot present those returns
in any form that will not give more
legality to Packard as Governor of
louisiana than to Hayes as Presi-
dent. People say this man assumes
all the virtues of reform in an office
which he has gained by the simple
reputation of the ladder that lifted
him. 1t is the general record of
usurpers that though sustained they
do their favors to the other side,
