THE opponents to Sheriff Bovee,
in his own party, went at it very
blindly to defeat him. Personal
abuse will not win in this age, as
the vote for sheriff has demonstra-
ted. Neither was there concerted
action in the ranks of the disinfec-
tants-they jumped at anything
to beat the man that won both in
convention and at the polls. We
know you feel bad about it, gen.

by a morbid desire TO rule or
ruin, but stand by the nominees
next time, and save your tears.

This being the "off year in politics,
the Democrats, in the light Of the past
ten years, accept it as fixed fact that
the Republicans will lose ground in the
lower House of Congress. They are
justified for believing so, for "oll
years. have been almost uniformly
disastrous to the Republicans. The
reason is Obvious. Nothing but a
Presidential election will arouse them.
They see at a glance that it would be
disastrous to hand the National Gov
eminent over to the Democrats, and
thew bestir themselves to prevent it,
and are always crowned with success.
They seem to think that the Presiden-
cy is the whole government.
1t is time they learned differently.
A President is poworless to enforce the
measures of his party while the Senate
and House of Representatives are con
trollcd by his political opponents. The
NONcIllHlclJ van Us SNNINHHiullg Wv
handed over to the Democracy in the
"off year, AS in any year.
The Republicans must take the con-
troll of the House from the Democrats
this fall. There is no other safety.
This is the only mode Of defeating tb c
array OF Southern claimants which is
threatening to bankrupt the nation. 1t
matters not what o Northern Democrat
pledges himself to do, or not to do,
when he gets TO Washington he follows
his Southern leaders. If he does not
his opposition to their schemes Is so
feeble that it Is without effect, except
to take from him what little influence
he had.
A glance at the situation will show
how easily the Democratic majority
can be wiped out. A change Of eight
will give the Republicans control.
\ There are ten Democrats holding their
seats by majorities less than one hun
dred. The Representative from the
First New Hampshire District had 43
majority from the Thirteenth Penn

The Proposed Judicial Convention.

We noticed some few days since in
the Chattanooga papers that the Dem
ocracy of that place had held a conven-
ton and appointed delegates to a Judi
cial convention for this district in case
one should be called. And we are re-
liably informed that out of the forty
delegates appointed there is not a sim
gle MaYfield man among them. Their
sole object it seems is to get Mayield
put of the way. They see the ''hand-
writing on the wall" to the effect that
Nayfleld is the coming man for Chan
cellor, aud as these tricksters cannot
defeat him before the people they want
TO try to get him into Il convention
where they have things "ixed" and
know he will be defeated. They don't
bother themselves any about the Circuit
Judge or Attorney General. They are
not the men these fellows are after.
We are not authorized to speak for Mr..
Mayifeld, but we do not believe him to
be so foolish as to risk his chances in a
packed convention when he has almost a
dead sure thing of 1t before the people.
AS to the Circuit Judgship, if there
be a Democratic convention, Judge
Hoyle would be most apt to receive the
nomination. His main supporters are
the ''rim-eared" Democracy and trick
sters generally-such fellows as al
ways control tho conventions.
As for the Attorney Generalship,
Hon. A. L. Spears seems to be the lead
ing light, and would doubtless receive
the nomination,
But be all this as it may, let time
bring what 1t will, let the tree bear its
fruit, and if the Republicans like it
they will eat of it, and If not they will
cast it aside. In this canvas it is the
duty Of the Republicans not to pledge
themselves to any one, but wait and
see what the future will bring-it is q
long time till election day.

The Southern Railway.

A Cincinnati special says: New
York parties interested in the South
erp Railroad come with a proposition
in favor of Knoxville es the terminus
instead of Chattanooga, as the pres
ent plans call for. The proposition
looks to the appointment of an i'm
partial and competent commissioner
to meet with the present directors OF
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Ga,
and the Knoxville and Ohio railroad
companies TO investigate the proprie-
ty of permitting these railroad con
panies to build a link of twenty-six
miles from the present terminus OF
the Knoxville and Ohio railroad to a
point on the Cincinnati railroad near
Lhitwood, Tenn.

California, 1, The member from the
Third Massachusetts District had 10
majority, but was voted his seat by the
Democrats of the House, while The
member from Colorado was beaten by
a Republican majority of more than
800 votes. These ten members hold
their seats by 4 combined majority Of
l02 votes. Two Of them will be surely
replaced by Republicans this fall,
which leaves a change Of six AIRY.
Administration Republicans claim
that we will elect at least thirty-iiyc
members from the South by Virtue OF
the Southern policy. This win give IL
amajority. No confidence can be pla-
ceI in these estimates. Those having
the best opportunity to know say thai
if We have as many members from tn
South in the next rs in the last Con-
grcss we will be fortunate. There is
not a Republican member from the
| Northern States who had less than 200
majority, and only two from the
Southern States-the Second Florida
and Third Missouri Districts.
1t is evident, then, that the work of
wrestling control the House from the
Democrats must be done by the North
ern Republicans. 1t matters not what
the vote may be in the South. If the
Republicans have a majority In any
district, they will bo either driven from
the polls, their votes not counted, or
enough fraudulent ballots put in to
overcome them. If one is seated, il
will be at the end Of 4 contest. The
control ofthe House was lost in 1874 by
criminal negligence. The election in
heavy Republican districts was allowed
to 90 by default. No party ever suffer
ed a more overwhelming defeat than
the Republicans did in 1874. They had
no more thought of surrendering the
House to the Democrats than they had
of establishing a monarchy.
In 1876 they attempted to recover,
by diligence and hard work, what they
had lost. They came near doing it
They did, in fact, elect a majority Of
the members, but the machinery of the
House being in the possession Of the
Democrats, they refused seats to some
who held certificates, and their intense
partisans demeanor discouraged other,
who were elected from carrying on
contests.
The election of Republicans to thu
various State and county offices is very
important, but not half so much so a
the election of Republican Congress
men. If we have a General Govern
ment disposed to protect the rights 0
all tle people, we have but little It
fear from achievements.

Another gin was offered by the mu-
SEES. Fame, which aroused ambitions

courage, and mtiring step, ambition
ran the race, and when at the goal hi,
trembling hand held the coveted re-
| ward he found alas! that it was but
the record Of his tolls, the history of
his daring actions. With calm delight,
! and scdulous study, genius sought the

his works. Rest and Contcntment
have been offered by NOcuna; but her
gifts were so unassuming, so unpreten-
ding, that the multitude passed by
without one admiring look, II effort
to obtain these fairest gifts Of all.
With sad thought that man should be
so Indifferent to the real good, the god
dess withdrew her gifts, leaving him
to continue his efforts to obtain the less
worthy blessings of her fellow duties.
Thus man pursucs the UtOpian phan-
tom pleasure; longs for beauty, the
veil of deceipt; wrangles to obtain
wealth's sordid gold; strives for that
glittering bauble Fame, but none OF
these satisfy the immortal mind.

but the a of another eternity are
rushing toward il, but it Is fixed and

fences the fact that there is 'mOrc

ether a Godlike strength the storms OF
earth to stun; and as the volleycd thun-

in the sunshine of an eternal day, and
