general adoption Of the hereditary system in
order to avoid confusion and civil war The
magnitude Of a political crime must be meas
ured by its natural and necessary consequences.
Our great republic has been the only example
in the world Of regular and orderly transfer
Of governmental succession by the elective
system. To destroy the habit of traditonary
respect for the will of the people, as declared
through the electoral forms, aud 10 exhibit our
institutions as failure, is the greatest posi-
Bile wrong to our own country 1t is also
heavy blow to the hopes Of patriots struggling
to establish self-government in other coun-
tries" 1t is TO DO hoped, however, that the
lessons of wisdom which have come out Of the
past wrongs Of the people will not be lost.
The very sense Of wrong inflicted by evil men
will never permit an intelligent people to
relax their vigilance or forget their principles.

The Horrors of Turkish Warfare.

All the way from Shipka to Yenl Saghra,
at which place we took the rail, The air is pol
uted with the remains of the killed. The
bodies Of men, women and children are TO be
met With in all stages of decomposition at the
roadsides, in the cornields and gardens, on
the banks Of streams and in the beds of
rivulets. Some hundreds were choking the
shallow river within quarter of mile from
where we camped at Yeai Saghra. Desolaton
and ruin appeared along the whole way. The
remains of formerly prosperous villages, which
it was impossible TO pitch tent even near, rip
ping mountain streams In which our horses
refused to drink, the bowling Of wolves around

worse, the occasional shrieks from human be-

one great horrible phautasmagoria, which

The Department Of Justice at Washington
had designated that heneefor,h all penitentiary
prisoners sentenced in the District of Column
oia shall be imprisoned in the Maryland State
penitentiary at Baltimore instead of the A l.
bany New York; peuitentary as heretofore
10 this connection Mr.. G. X. Chase, agent of
the Department of Justice, called on Warden
Wilkinson at the Maryland penteniary last
week and made thorough inspection of the
institution. Mr.. Chase by direction also Wis
ited the other principal penitentiaries in the
country which would be available for the pur-
pose, and finally recommended the Maryland
penitentary as the best conducted institution,
aud the most convenient and suitable. a con-
siderable saving in the cost of transportation
will result. The average cost Of transportation,
guards, &c., Of each prisoner sent 10 Albany
has been $50, whereas to the Maryland pen-
Tertiary it will not exceed 81 so. The board
of prisoners is 8 cents day, or 81 20 week
at both institutions. The Albany penientiary
has received about $40, 900 a year from this
source. The entire revenue from this source
10 the Maryland penetentiary will be clear gain
to the State. There will be no lack Of room,
especially when the house Of correction shall
go into operation.

4 FULL VOTE NEEDED.

OF all the campaigns that were ever had in
| this county, not one was ever SO inanimate as
the one that will have its browning act per-
formed on Tuesday next. 1t has truly been
so lifeless that the people in the county would
| long ago have forgotten that the election was
yet to take place had they not been reminded
by seeing their fatted jocks for butchering
which season follows closely the election
Candidates for election have stayed at home
unroubled, gathering in their crops, except
ing Hon. Montgomery Blair, aud he has been
worrying the RAIDS in other counties in this
State and other States with his extensive po-
lilical knowledge.
Now as the election is but n few days of we
must shuttle off this apathy and look at the
Importance of a full vote with more sincerity.
We have spent neither time nor money in this
campaign, and it makes the reason for full
vote more urgent and impressive. Our coun-
ty ticket is beyond all doubt safe from defeat,
but there is a vacancy in the State to be filled,
which has more Importance in it than that of
all the county vacancies combined, viewing
it from political standpoint. So well is the
party drilled that il is useless for us to say
word, save as warning OF the importance of
a full vote. Then awake TO duty, Democrats,
and let us have another just with the ballot
to keep our rank and file ready for greater
emergencies, for The dawn of Democratic tri-
umph is glimmering gray throughout the land,
and the time is not far distant when she will
shine forth in full-day splendor.
Mr.. Roger Brooke, this week, announces
himself as an Independent candidate for Couu-
ty Commissioner. The idea entertained by
the Democrats of this county, that they would
have no opposition is now exploded, and they
are called upon to enter the contest with en-
ergy and labor. Some one man on their Com
missioner ticket is in danger, and may be de-
feated unless Democrats turn out TO the cleo
ton. If they will do this victory is certain
for the entire ticket. But we cannot say that
we are sorry to see some opposition in the
field, as we never relished victory without
whipping somebody.

OUR GOVERNOR.

The following is from the Louis
Vile CoWier,Jomnal
James d. Porter, the present Gov
ernor Of the State, is a man honora
BILE in his life, and highly honored
and esteemed by the people. As an
evidence Of their esteem he is now
serving the Commonwealth as Cow
ernor for the second term. Gov
Porter is a native Of this State,
having been reared at Paris,
where he was born in December,
1928. He is now, therefore only
forty-nine years of age. and is in the
very prime Of manhood. He may
truthfully be called handsome man.
With an erect and graceful figure,
reaching we should say fully six feet
in high, his personal presence and
bearing are Of djstingue and com
manding character. His head is
large and symmetrical. with full
forehead. dark hair jnst tinged with
gray, and mustach and chin whiskers
Of the same cOmmingled hue. The
Governors eyes are blue and pos
sess that faculty peculiar to some
people of being able to see through
anything that has hole in it. His
intuitions are quick and his esti-
mates of men and measures are said
to be almost invariably correct. AS
a Tennessean, Gov. Porter is an eX-
ception to the weil-known rule that
prophets are without honor at home.
His first and best honors have been
bestowed by those who knew him
best. He has served in the Legis-
lature was member OF the Con-
sLitutional Convention of 1870. elect
ed Judge of the Twelfth Judicial
Circuit, embracing the six counties
of Benton, Carroll. Henry, Weakley,
ODlon and Lake IN 1917, TO serve
for a term Of eight years. After
serving for term of three and a
half years. Judge Porter resigned in
February, 1874. Ia August of that
year he was nomina ed for Governor
and ia November was elected over
the competing candidate. Mr.. May.
nard. the present Minister to C,n-
stanlinople. In September, '76, he
was renominated by his party. with

$4,000 majority. The Governor 5
family consists of six persons-him-
self, wife aud four children. Or
these last. three are sons. The old
est son is Private Secretary of his
father. and makes, we learn. very
e fficient one.

Died.

In MorristOwn, Saturday, December
%, of pneumonia, PETER DoUssOT, in
the SOth year of his age.
Mr. Doussot was a native of France,
the SON of farmer who taught him the
rudiments of agriculture and the French
language. While yet young man he
was sent to the higher schools, where he
studied six years, with view of fitting
himself for the priesth God in the CathO-
lie church. For some reason, 1 infer,
he did not enter the ministry, for he
afterwards married and had born to him
a daughter, who died at four years of
age. His wife also died. He seems to
have become dissatisfied with his church
because it did not allow sufficient ex-
resolved to come to the United States,
his beau ideal of country tolerating free
thought and the largest liberty of action.
He arrived in Ohio more than forty years
ago, where he resided till within fifteen
years, when he came to Knoxville, Ten
nessee. He brought with him from
Ohio a considerable sum of money, a
small portion of which he invested in
in real estate in Knoxville. About four
years ago he came to this town, pur-
chased two or three acres of land, and
has since very industriously busted him
self with gardening. He mostly lived
alone, but commanded the respect of all
who made his acquaintance. The wri-
ter infers, from conversations with him,
that he was free-thinker and COM
munist.
Last week, the subject of this notice
was attacked with severe cold, which
eliminated in pneumonia, and carried
him rapidly away. News of his death
was communicated to his acquaintance
in Knoxville, and the Catholic priest
and another person came with him Sat
urday night and took the remains to
that city SundayEmorning, for burial
1t is said that Mr.. Doussot leaves a
nephew in one of our western States,
and sister and niece in France. He
was liberal-minded, sympathetic man,
who desired to do good and relieve the
distress of others and make their condi-
ton better. Hence his donation of one
thousand dollare to the Knoxville Or
phans' Asylum, and other smaller gifts
He expressed a desire to leave his prop
erty here and elsewhere to benevolent
institutions, yet it is believed that he
neglected to make a will
Hon. L. B. BEwLEY, of San Angus
tine, Texas, died of cancer, at his resi-
dence, on the 9th of December. He
was brother to our follow-townsman,

IN APPALLING CURSE.

Under the above heading the
Manchester Guardian gives some
startling facts to which we call at
tention. 1t says:
Carefully prepared statistics show
that there are over six hundred
thousand drunkards in the United
States, and that seventy thousand
die annually who go to the grave
of a drunkard. Every year one
hundred thousand men and women
are sent to prison under the infu-
ence OF intoxication, while three
hundred murders and four hundred
suicides occur from the same cause.
Two hundred thousand orphans are
annually thrown upon the charity Of
the world by this curse of intemper-
anee. Ninetenths of our crime and
not less than seven-eights of the
panberism is the Immediate result
Of whisky. and at a cost. to the
Government-besid individual
want-of not less than sixty thou
sand dollars every year.
