claration was unnecessary, as the
principles of the party were suffici-
emily known without 1.-THE real
reason was soon shown to be a very
different one.
A revolt had taken place in the
Democratic ranks under a banner
inscribed slow taxes" its leader
was Mr.. Dorsey B. Thomas. IN
der this banner were enlisted all
who were openly or secretly in favor
of Reputation, though Mr.. Thomas
had not openly declared for that
heresy. He did, however, oppose,
as beyond the ability of the State to
pay, the rate of40 cents on the 800,
which had been recommended in
the true Democratic platform.
This party, or section rather of the
Democracy, the true leaders of the
party fought, at first with every
prospect of leaving it in a small
minority, but it soon became mani
fest that it was far from being the
boiling Democrats alone whom they
had to fight. Everywhere the Repub-
lican party was found TO be aiding
the low tax boilers. Col. Savage and
his abetters preached reputation
openly among thenegroes and it ran
like wild fire among them and, on
the retirement of General Nancy,
Republican, from the field, an open
coalition of Radicals and low tax
boilers against the Democratic party
was visible to all.
The effects of this coalition were
specially manifest in the county,
Montgomery, in which this paper is
published. The county has long
been esteemed as among the sound
est on the financial question of any
in the State, but, at the time of the
last election, a little knot of sore
heads dissatisfied with the amount
of influence they held min the CON
vention bOlted the track and set UP
what they called a low tax candi.
date. Col. Yancey had been here
preaching reputation which hung
fire among the whites, but created
a Juror among the negroes; reg
ular coalition took place between
the two, and a movement which
would have been trivial if sustained
by only one of these elements, came
very near beating the Democratic
nominee who was an uncOmprOmis
ing advocate OfState Credit. 1t die
give Mr.. Thomas, the low tax can
didate for Governor, a majority il
this county over Gov. Porter.
Thus instead of being the ally o
the State Credit party, the Radical
have here shown themselves it
most dangerous enemy and it wa
the same thing in West Tennessee
The truth is that the Radicals Wer,
strong for State Credit while they
were in possession of the State Gov
eminent, for the power of borrowing
in the name of the State was thei
great means for stealing and pecu
latiOn, but their loyalty to that prin
ciple has been weakening ever sine
they gave up the hope of again pos
sessing themselves of the publi
purse, and now they have no desir
to help the State credit party, ant
could not if they would for thei
previous intrigues with the low ta7
party have so demoralized thei
colored voters, that they will neve
now vote anything but Reputation
and the cOlOred vote is the mail

integrity in private life :

GAS the result of the teachings of such
men as Isaac r. Hawkins and John II. Saw
age, about one-half of those who owe debts
and own little property, that might be
reached by law, are looking around for some
means of defrauding their creditors. We are
not acquainted with the manner in which
these men meet their private obligations,
but might naturally infer that they practise
what they preach. Even if they preserve
their private honor, what right have they
to cause the increase of bad morals which
results from their doctrines? Teaching dis
honesty and pratising honesty is an incon-
SiStency that must arise from the dureSS of
the law. The man who educates others in
rascality can't be much better in his heart
than his teaching"

The letter closes as follows 4:

The President is firm and determined in
his Southern policy, if the South will give
him the support necessary to carry IL out. In
my opinion the true method of the Demo-
cratic party In the South to protect itselfand
maintain its successful organization, is for
that party to declare in favor of Mr.. Hayes
Administration, not as Republicans, but as
Democrats, upon his Southern policy. If
the Presidents southern policy fails, the
Southern Democratic party will be to blame
for IL; the people will know it and hold tire
spOnsible.

NEW SOURCES OF TANNING.
