A writer in the Memphis Ledger, in a
communication of pondrous length and
mouldy with paraIlelic references, nom
mates Col. John H. Savage for Governor
in 1878. Col. s. is a very clever, high
toned, chivalrous gentleman, with fair
amount of executive and administrative
ability; but, we apprehend he will never
be Governor of Tennessee. His suffu-
sive love for the people. as set forth in
the Memphis paper is not widely
enough known aud sufficiently appreci-
ated to give him the ghost of a chance
for the nomination; and without nom
ination he would be sent, like our friend,
Hon. Dorsey b. Thomas, to the limbo
of lost politicians. And, IL Col. Savage
is to be the candidate, what is to be
done about East Tennessee's claim to
furnish the man for 1872 - Athens

week for Gadsden, Ala, their future
home. Mr.. SalYo will remain here
awhile for the purpose of disposing of
rights and territory of Hatfield's new

He has been resident of our town since
1875, in the capacity of jeweler and
matchmaker, and through his energy,
affable and courteous manners was sue

friends here who will regrethis departure.
Wherever he may go or whatever bus
mess he may engage in, the best wishes
of his numerous friends here will fol.

Here begInneth the first lesson. We
learn that a young mana nice young
man"--late of this county-who had
Texas on the brain, and whose dreams
and yearnings were many aud frequent
until he got there, has been sadly de-
ceived in his calculations. The eye he
had for pulling in the filthy lucre at
hop, step and jump rate, has gone stone
blind; that making money out there as
easy as rolling of a log is ridiculous,
and in short that it is a lie and huge
humbug about the old thing working or
ever known to work both ways, in that
unblessed land Of misguided emigrants
Having beenfthere onlya short time. he

and interesting message; = DEAR -.

Thus, it appears, that while, in 1877,
the population of the country is greater
by nearly thirteen million than it was
in 1866, there is in circulation nearly
one billion less currency, and, conse-
quently, two-thirds less per capita.
When the fact is considered that the
vast business interests of the country
were formed upon the basis of the cur
rency in circulation in 1865, it is easy
to understand the cause of innumerable
bankruptcies and the widespread com
mercial prostration that have followed
in the wake of the contraction that has
been infOrced since that period. 1t has
been but IA REPETITION of the experience
of England under a similar policy, the
result of which, as related by Thomas
Doubleday in his statistical history, was
that prices were reduced on a sudden
to ruinous extent, banks broke, wages
fell with prices of manufactures, while
panic, bankruptcy, riot and disaffection
spread through the land

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.--SeYeral days
ago the Gazette contained statement
that the Secretary of the Treasury had
notified the Ohio clerks in the depart
ment that they would be permitted

fall and vote. From present indications
it is clear enough that even this is not
going to satisfy the reform Administra-
ton. Yesterday, Charles Grovesner,
eX-5peakers of the Ohio House of Rep
resentatives, put in an appearance here.
He was supposed TO have a mission, and
it has leaked oat today what this is. All
of to-day, has been spent by several
limbs of the Ohio Republican party ia
convassing the Interior Department for
contributions for the present campaign.
The recent civil serVicecrlles made it
impossible to gOinto the business rough
shod as Chandler used to do, and so the
question was delicately. preached in the
form of request for contributions, the
idea being given out that it was entire
ly voluntary on the part of the clerks.
As one of them remarked, however,
they understood it to mean that they
must "give or get," and consequently
most of them concluded to give, The
same programme. it Is learned, will be
followed in all the departments. This
is the best evidence so far received that
the President and his Ohio cliuue are
feeling alarmed over the outlook, and
think this violation of the new rules
"won't count" The clerks are holding
very large Indignation meetings, and
many of them openly express the hope
that Ohio will go Democratic. -"@1-

Sunday night, on the eastern-bound
train, were two ladies on their way from
Kansas, to visit their relatives in North

Whitead, before rea, hing this place
was attacked with something like con
gestive chill, from which she died just
before the arrival of the train. She
had with her her little son,
bright, intelligent boy, about twelve
years Of age One of the sadest features
of this death is, that the ladies were
within a few hours ride of their loved
ones, from whom thew had been sepa-
rated for some years. She was a pro-
fessor of religion, and a member of
the Baptist church. We hope this morn

things right, provide for her orphan
boy, and comfort the heart of her be-
reavcd friends and husband.
