NASHVILLE, August 81 AT the

DAY little over a hundred Dele

question was raised as to postpo

leaders favoring waiting until af
ter the Nationals Convention.
The Convention finally concluded
to nominate candidates. Gov. Ii
S. Foote was made permanen.
chairman. A very animated scene
was caused by the introduction of
a resolution endorsing and prais
ing Hayes Administration. Foote
declared from the Chair chat un
less it was adopted he would have

out on both sides, and finally il
was referred to a committee aud

rr@ The invasion of Mexic

E~ The invasion Of Mexico
by Col. Mackenzie, with cavalry,
artillery, &C., well supplied with
ammunition and provisions, in
search of cattle stolen and carried
into Mexican territory, looks like
a deliberate purpose to force war
with that weak and unoffending
power. 1t is scarcely reasonable
to suppose that all the cattle
thieves are on the Mexican side
of the Rio GraDde, but as the
Mexicans dare not invade the Uni.
ted States territory to recover an
finals stolen from them. all The
invasions are on our side. A war
with Mexico would no doubt be
popular with several classes of
neople. The advocates of a large |
standing army would favor it as
furthering the projects of the Ar
my Ring greedy spectators
would rejoice 10 it as a means of
great gain, and the Fraudulent
Administration would welcome 1t,
with the hope that it might divert
public attention from the crimes
to which it is indebted for its ex-
isteuce.

Everlasting the Energies.

It is not advisable for any of us to over

can regain the vigor so recklessly expended.
The remedy is neither costly or difficult to

low taxes, to distract and d.
vide the Democratic party, are
pursuing very good course to
put the Radicals into power, who
will pay the State debt in full

will have true cause to cry ont
for low taxes. If we will act

Gdllatin Examiner: In 1870
the State debt was the great ques-
ton, and what to do about IT,.
John G. Brown was the nominee
of the Democratic State Conven-
ton, which unanimously adopted
a resolution affirming its validity
and the determination Of the State
to pay it. A. A. Freeman. was
the Republican nominee. Both
candidates stumped the State and
Goth declared to the people that
if elected their nolicy would be to
fand the debt. Both agreed upon
this policy. Tie people approved
OF it almost unanimously. Brown
was elected and at the same time
a legislature was elected by the
people upon the same platform,
lnstructing them to do as they af.
forwards did. They funded the
debt just as the people told them.
1t is the only instance known in
the history of America, that we
are aware Of, that the people OF
State without regard to party, a.
greed upon a policy. 1t was car.
RED out literally-just as the peo-
pie voted and instructed. And
now we have a party rising up
years afterwards, 1yirg in the
ace Of this unanimous will of the
people, Cndoing their work and

pie would never have been tempt.

The Yellow Fever.
"Aiay God Have Mercy on Us.'' is
the Prayer from Grenada.

case IN Grenada is that all ca
ses so far have proved fatal.
Not single one Of those pros
trated up to the Dist has re-
covered. Old and experienced
men say that people were never
so.terrlbly alarmed by the plague
before. The city of Grenada is
built on hill, and is in appear
ance one of the prcttiest towns
on the road. A dreary, desc
late appearance has taken pos
session Of the whole place, and
the faces Of those persons re-
naming III the village present
terribly sad and forlorn appear
ance. Whole families have
been swept away by the terri
bile scuurge. The fever is con-
sldered to be of local origin, and
was caused by the opening of
an old sewer, which had been
closed for years. At first it
was thought it had been
brought here by an express
package sent from New Orleans
to an old lady named Fields,
since dead, but parties cogni-
zant of the fact deny this.
To illustrate the effect of the
scourge it is only necessary to
give the figures. Three weeks
age it was a place Of 2,200 in
habitants, and one of the pref
test towns along the jackson
route. To describe its trial is
only to repeat story of monot-
onous misery to families, of
sudden bereavement, and of
hasty burial. From nearly eve
ry house still occupied by fami-
lies, bodies have been taken
forth without ceremony or with.
out service, carried by the un-
tertaker up the slight hill and
into the Odd Fellows burial
ground. In this cemetery a
number of negroes have been
constantly employed digging
graves, and the two underta-
Aers have filed the graves as
made with bodies. The situa-
ion in which the few persons
Who remain in the town are
'laced is dreadful to contem- !
'late. No one dares now to ,
cave it, and no one will enter 8
