The Origin Of Sexes.

Aristophanes. the funny man of
classic Greece, gives the following
myth: Once npon a time man had
two sexes and double nature; be-
sides this he was perfectly round,
and had four hands and four feet,
one head with two faces looking
opposite ways, set on single neck.
When these creatures pleased, they
could walk as We do now, but. if
they wanted to 90 faster, they would
roll over with all their legs in the
air like a tumbler turning somer
saults, and their pride and strength
were such that they made war upon
the gods. Jupiter resented their
insolence, Tut hardly liked to kill
them with a thunder bolt, as they.
the gods, would then lose their sac
rifices. At last he hit upon plan.
81 will cut them into" he said, $50
that they will walk on two legs in
stead OF four. They will then be
only half as insolent, but twice as
numerous, and we shall get twice
as many sacrifices" This was
done, and the two halves are con-
tinually going about looking for
one another. If we mortals (says
Aristophanes, with comic air of APP
preheDsion) are not obedient to the
gods, there is danger that we shall
be split up again, and shall have to
go about in basso relieve, like
those figures with only half a nose,
which you may see sculptured on
our columns.

viii It Change It's Name.

Cincinnati Enquirer: 1t is pre-
dicted that the Republican party
will change its name to that of
National, for this reason: The par
ty so long as it retains it's present
name cannot hope to have an effec-
tive organization in the Southern
States. The name is associated
with almost everything repulsive to
the Southern mind. Its associa-
tion would not attach to the Nation
tional party without mourning the
odium that now attaches to these
belonging to the Republican party.
White and black Republicans would
gladly seek the shelter of the new
name. And what is more, the
name National is more appropriate,
and suits the principles of the lead
ers of the party, than the ZANE Re
publican. And it is about time for
the party to take a new name. We
should not be surprised to witness
the change.

Have No Use for Tillman.

AS we supposed, the Greenback-
ers in Tennessee are disposed
to take but very little stock in Hon.
Lewis Tillman as a Gubernatorial
candidate The following para
graph, which we clip from the Jack
son Tribune and Sun, shows how
the wind blows;
The Greenhack club of this city
had lively and rafting time on
Saturday last. The object of the
meeting seemed to be to take in the
situation generally. and especially
to raise an indignant howl at the
nomination of Tillman for Cover
nor. W. H. Bruton, vino had on
his war paint, arose and moved
that the club do repudiate the nom
ination of Tillman, which was car
ried amid applause and without a
dissenting voice. Mr.. Jesse Harp
er moved that the Executive Com
mittee of the State notify Mr.. TIT
man of the action of the club, and
that he be requested to tender his
resignation as the National candi-
date for Governor. The motion of
Mr.. Harper was also CARRIED unan-
imously and amid loud and ringing
cheers.
Commenting on the above, the
Tribune and Sun is prompted to re-
mark:
The nomination of Tillman has
sounded the disintegration OF the
Greenback party in Tennessee. He
is totally unfit for its leadership.
and his candidacy will hardly ere
ate visible stirring of the political
waters throughout the State. Let
our Greenback Friends quit their
folly and vote for the gallant Marks.

The CITIZEN printers are as accu-
rate and painstaking as any similar
corps in any office in any State in
any country, but 1t is simply impos-
sible to maintain perfect accuracy
at all times, especially in following
the manuscript of careless writer's.
Correspondents must not complain
when they themselves are some
times to blame. For instance, on
one page of a recent contribution
by one of our most careful, most
accurate and most gifted correspon-
dents we found no less than ten err
rors. We were led to this discovery
by complaint from this correspon
dent to a third party that our
printers were terrible butchers
When it is known that the average
page of manuscript which falls into
the printers hands contains 10 to
40 errors in punctuation, orthogra-
ply, grammar, ETC., and the chirogra-
ply of which could not be decipher-
ed by one man in ten who thinks he
could read ANYTHING short of a page
of Chinese writing which had been
struck by lightning. and that print
ers are fallible like other people,
and are always under a pressure,
and always provoked at the bad chi
Biography of correspondents, it is
astonishing that there are not ten err
rors where there is now one. Never
grumble at a printer again if you
want to get to Heaven.

In connection with all the sur
rounding circumstances, and now
taking Col. Moore's case as it
stands, with the letter to Cooper
published with its context, and the
Plummer letter with it's clear state
ment that he conveyed no pledge to
Col. Moore, it is manifest that ali
the differences sought TO be made
against my good faith are false and
unjust, and the appeal or question
with which Col. Moore closes his

answer TO all honorable men.
A word as to the Lawrenceburg
convention:
repeat now that my exact posi-
ton before the people and my per
sonal friends was and is shown in
the letter To Cooper in April, 1876,
and in the letter to Ridley in July,
1876. both of which were published
in the newspapers of the district
prior TO the meeting of the conven
ton. l took and held no position
inconsistent Herewith at any time.
Pending the canvass being made
for its nomination, scores of friends
from all parts of the district wrote
me, urging that should reconsid
er that position-stating their
opinions as to what they believed
was desired by a majority OF the
Democracy of the District. | did

vention assembled at Lawrenceburg

nation until / reached Cincinnati,
Ohio, upon my return home. No
one telegraphed me, because no one
knew ut what point TO reach me.
Gen. Atkins of this State, was with
me from Washington to Bowling
Green, Ky. He IT was who first
told me of the result. Maj. Carter,
of Giles county, whom l met upon
my arrival at the depot at Nashville
was the first TO give me any &C
count of its proceedings; aud TO
these gentlemen | confidently APP
