The Seventh Congressional District.

Under this heading the Nashville
American OF Thursday contains an
able and lengthy editorial from
which we make the following ex.
tracts: 'Cincinnatus was called
from his pillow to head the armies OF
Rome against the invasion of her
enemies, and yet every private citi-
zen in Rome was a hero. They
were willing to lay aside all person
al ambitions when the State was in
danger. Can we not initiate their
unselfish example? Have we no
Cincinnatus among US who will
bravely say to his fellow citizens
Here l am, only one democrat
among many; / have no claims
upon the Office greater than anoth-
er; will not peril the safety of the
district, aye of the party, by push
ing myself upon you; let me stand
aside and await your good pleasure,
when no danger threatens my par
ty, give it to whom you will. No
longer will be in the way of har-
mony; it shall never be said that a
Republican is elected through my
obstinacy or through the partiality
of my friends"
For whom were offices created?
For you or 1? das any man such
special claim that he can step for
ward and say, "If you don't elect
me you shall not elect any Dem
ocrat." Shall we have repetition
OF Esop's fatle OF the "dog in the
mangerT in the seventh or any 9th
er Congressional district in the
State? The eyes of not only this
State but of the United States are
upon you, and upon your prompt
action in this great emergency rests
your future political life. One
need not say, "my friends want me
and ] await their pleasure" You
must not be influenced by too par
tial friendship so as to imperil our
great party.
In the Seventh much time and
much money has already been
wasted by your friends in trying to
settle this question and they have
failed to do it. Conventions of the
people and of the committee have
been held. Anxious days and sleep
less nights have been passed in
consultations, and yet your status
is not settled. The time of action
for you is at hand, and what your
friends have failed to do you can
do. If you wish to bring the
whole party under lasting obliga
tions, consider the exigency. If
you do not act now, be assured of
one thing: When the excitement of
party contest is over and the i'll
blood of the canvass has settled
into it's wonted pulsations, then the
people will begin to look around
upon us, and woe be to the guilty.

Our Next Congressman.

The Committee called by Capt.
Mitchell to meet In Columbia last
Thursday to consider the matter of
calling another Congressional Con-
vention met and adjourned without
calling another convention only re-
ferring the question to the State
Committee. Is it possible that this
district, so largely democratic, is to
be handed over to the republicans2
Is it possible that there are demo
Gratis who would consent to see the
party beaten rather than see some
other democrat than their man
elected2 Then is patriotism dead
and party fealty an empty obliga-
ton. AS we write these words, A.
NJ. Hughes, Jr., is speaking from
our courthouse steps, announcing
himself a republican candidate for
Congress. With blocked commit
tees and blocked candidates, all
mule headed, obstinate and selfish,
Mr.. Hughes will bear off the Gre
dentials. 1t is as certain as the
day of judgment, and yet who can
help it, We mean no disrespect
and to express no preference when
we say that if Whitthorne, Bond
and Moore cannot settle it, and their
friends lciI not let the people settle Il,
then it is high duty we owe the
people to see that each and all of
them are kicked overheard and
some other less selfish man placed
in charge of the democratic stand
ard. We mean to be plain, because
the times are urgent and the occas-
ion important and threatening. Mr..
Whitthorne, Mr.. Bond, Mr.. Moore,
we address you directly, will you
seopardize the interests of the peo-
pie for the mere impossible chance
of electing yourself? Speak it out
and palsied be the political tongue
that does not answer mol All, you
each answer nc and act yesi Advise
your adherents to drop you when
they find that you are not wanted.
Advise them not TO oppose another
convention. Be democrats, or be
politically damned. The people
know that the failure to harmonic
thus far has been occasioned by in
dividaal likes and dislikes, and they
will not submit longer TO have the
party broken down for any one
mans benefit. These candidates
who have occssioned the disruption
can heal it. They must do it. The
people demand it, and will continue
to do so until this matter is settled |
and the democratic party is safe,
and unless that result is attained,
they will denounce and condemn |
the motives that prevent it, and will
advocate the election of some other |
man than these, who they charge |
have already shown that they are
for self first and the people next.
As for Giles county. she wants a
democrat for Congressman and she
does not intend to be ousted of that
result by the selfishness and fool
ishness of candidates from other
counties.

The people of the Seventh Con
gresional District owe duty to
the entire co&ntry. The Democrat
ic majority in the House is not
large enough to allow of a loss
where it can be avoided. 1t is in
the power of the people to bring
the issue down to single candidate
either by convention or by discov
ering the strongest man and voting
for him. In some way they must
reach harmony, or incur certain de-
feat, and lament their folly when it
is too late. If the people have the
power, theirs too is the folly when
loss occurs. They cannot shift the
blame 70 the aspirants, for they
have the power to do as they please
about it. 1t is to be hoped that
better counsels will prevail

A RanhArnha Waddinr.

Last evening a few friends gath
cred at the elegant residence Of f.
H. Ragon, Esq, to witness the mar
riage of Maj. Hugh F. Ewing to
Mrs. Bette Gardner. The ceremo
ny was performed by DR.. Martin, OF

renee in this life that such man
hood and grace stand before the al

of the best stock of Tennessee. He
is in the prime o: life, and stands
six feet one inch in height and the
very 'glass of fashion" Mrs. Gard
ner, well known in Evansville socie-
ty, is a dark eyed woman of royal
beauty.
The wedding presents were rich

sparkle as happily as the wine
which greeted them 50 joyfully last
night Evansville Ind.) Courier,

There was not much spirit of
compromise in the late Newman,
Ga, Congressional convention. A
delegate being asked to give up his
man replied: Il know my bust
ness needs me. My fields are white
with cotton; but I'll stay here in
this courthouse and be toted out
piecemeal by the ants, through the
key hole, before I'll give up"
That was the unworthy spirit
which controlled the action of too
many delegates to our late Pulaski
Convention.

probably gone republican by $4,000
majority. The greenback vote was
insignificant in every State.

Hon. Lewis Tillman is the man
Capt. Sheafe beat so badly for Con-
gress in 1868. He is also the man
who accepted the stolen seat after
he had been fairly beaten. No
democrat who remembers his ex-
treme hatred OF democracy, his
plots and counter plots not only
with radicalism but even with
Brownlowism itself, can support
him for anything. He supported
and defended the Brownlow bayo-
net rule in Tennessee, which dis
franchised two-thirds of her votes,
denounced them as traitors, and
stole Capt Sheafe's seat in Con-
gress under the protection of
Brownlow's infamous militia. The
back of every mans hand should
be turned toward him politically.

The Coming Hog Season.


Kentucky Live Stock Record
From the best information we can
gether there will be a full supply of
hogs the coming season, which is
now gradually approaching, and it
will be only a few weeks before
some new corn fed hogs will be put
on the market. Our farmers ia this
section, where the corn crop is light
from the extreme dry weather, must
not presume that the drought has
been universal, and that the aver
age corn crop of the country will
be a short one, for II is just the
contrary, and heavy yield of corn
is generally anticipated. We be-
heve as a rule that the earliest sales
of hogs pay the farmer best, and
the sooner his hogs are ready for
market the better the prices OBJ
tanned. From the price of pork at
present, the prices of last year can
not be maintained, for packers as a
rule lost heavily last season, and
will be over cautious this year.
Nothing but positive assurance of
a short crop of hogs, coupled with
a short crop of corn, will maintain
present prices.

We entertain the highest respect
for the honest opinions OF others,
and especially for those of our ma
tional greenback party friends who
are sincere in the opinion that a
new party is necessary, but we sub
NIT 10 such the simple inquiry, can
they endorse and support Mr.. Till
man? We cannot believe it.. His
nomination is an insult to them.
he has not only been an extreme
republican but an extreme Brown
lowite. His whole political life has
been antagonistic to democratic
principles and to the very princi-
pies advocated and sought to be
promoted by the greenback party.
He opposed a general amnesty when
he occupied Capt. Sheafe's seat in
Congress, favored national banks
opposed the issuance of more
gFeenbacks, favored high protec-
tive tariff was vindictive, uhcom-
promising and oppressive toward
the poor unfortunate rebel. He
Joined in the Brownlow crusade
against free ballot and free re-
publican State government. He ia
vored military rule in the South and
denied the people the right of self
government. Has he changed his
position on any of these pointsp
If so no one knows it. Only a
few weeks ago he was affiliating
with the same old party-was quite
a conspicuous figure in the late re-
publican State convention, and is no
less a republican and a Brownlow
lite to-day than he was then, so far
as we know. He has never given
the least sign of repentance and re-
form. Then why should men who
claim to favor reform, economy, |
tariff for revenue only, self govern
ment a free ballot, the substitution
of green backs for national bank cur
rency, etc. etc. support him? We
leave the question for thinking men !
